Jasmine was happily giggling and chatting with Joseph while Cara was whispering something Rika while sneaking a couple of glances at the tall young man on the opposite side of the table.
Bin returned next to them and remained standing like a pillar, his face expressionless and his lips tightly shut, neither commenting on the banal conversation of the couple or mocking Cara’s ‘quiet’ whispering, which was actually idiotic thoughts she dared to brazenly say.
"By the way, how are you feeling?" Aldren glanced at Bin, who was sitting next to him and nonchalantly asked.After a never-before-insistence, Bin let himself dragged by this guy, who claimed that there was a close place where they could have some fun. Apparently, on a car, it's only a few minutes away from the academy so he doesn't have to worry about returning late to Jasmine.Aldren knew Bin's circumstances so he definitely wouldn't deliberately cause problems, at least that's what he confidently claimed.
Very soon, Aldren busied himself with other fun games, jumping from one table to another, uncaring about the money he lost. As for Bin, he wandered around, curiously checking the machines but he didn’t dare to play, unwilling to lose the money in his possession.People were enjoying their time, laughing together and throwing money as if it was nothing. Bin wished he could all of that to himself but it was just him fantasizing about impossible scenarios any poor person would dream about.Around fifteen minutes later, he wandered off to a smaller room with more people. Contrary to other area, this one had no machines or tables, there was just a group of masked people circling around a woman wearing a dark veil that covered her face.Although her face was unseen, a pale, slender neck rises from the gorget. The milky skin stretched across all the exposed parts, it is delicate and translucent, like a parchment that has been scraped clean too many ti
“Is he for real?”One of the onlookers questioned himself as he heard Bin’s serious tone. The youth didn’t seem to be joking around as he waved around his card which showed that he only had 1 million won.The veiled woman creased her brows and looked at Bin for some time before calmly saying“Since it’s your first time, you won’t have t
Once he was out of the ‘danger area’, Bin breathed a sigh of relief as he hugged the card containing his money, afraid to lose it. The thought of trying another game didn’t cross his mind anymore, all his greed vanished the moment he won the woman’s game and was awarded 3 million won. Along with the one million, he’s gotten from the machine, that’s a whopping 4 million won, an astronomical amount for a poverty-stricken person like Bin.Such a big amount is a blessing that should not be lost or wasted on useless stuff. He’ll save the majority of it and spend the rest on Mina, probably buy her a few gifts and clothes.
"Hey! What the hell happened? Why did you flee like that?"As he saw a youngster relaxing next to his sports car without a care in the world, Aldren walked up to him and asked with a frowning face. In response, Bin sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said:"Nothing, I've won some money and I don't want to lose it.""Then what about Lady Cass? How come she specifically came to ta
It turns out that Bin mistakingly thought that Jasmine was in a ‘good’ mood, however, it was quite the opposite. Her pretty face had an unusual frown but she was not alone, Melissa and Cara also had strange expressions. They were whispering to each other with a barely audible voice and were startled when someone came in their direction. When they saw it was only Bin, they resumed their secretive talk.As he didn’t care about their girly talk, Bin stood by the side, enjoying the view of the campus while sneaking glances at a few passing girls which were beautiful, by his personal standard, of course.
As she hails from a rich family, Rika was obviously picked up by her personal chauffeur, who drove her directly home. It’s either she wasn’t in the mood to visit some places or her parents were too worried so they temporarily limited her outdoor activities, at least until she calms down.Though it greatly pained him, Bin ended up taking a taxi and followed the white Bentley in which Rika is in. The expensive car drove North-East of the city, all the way to a secluded forest in which there stood a grand manor heavily fortified a
After passing through the first gate, the other guards didn’t bother Bin. They busied themselves with patrolling the vast garden and only threw cursory glances at him. Though it’s his first time coming here, Bin didn’t act confused, he pushed the towering gates leading to the inside of the manor and was soon welcomed by a grand hall decorated with all kinds of ancient antics. He paid them no heed and started searching for any signs of Rika. The place was too big to search every inch so he ended up inquiring about the Miss’ room from a passing maid.Fortunately, every servant seemed too busy to bother him, moreover, in rich households, it isn’t too uncomm
Bin’s eyes fluttered then slowly opened. He felt weight on his thighs and chest and when he looked down, he saw Jasmine sound asleep. She had a habit of hugging him in the middle of sleep and half of her body would be pressed against his. It has been a year and a half since they started dating and the embarrassment of sleeping naked or half-naked was no more. Their relationship only got better and they even moved to a new place with Nina, though it wasn’t far from Emilia and Elise. He wasn’t interested in getting a proper job, nevertheless, he did find an entertaining habit, which was quickly developed. With Jasmine’s support and Bert’s countless acquaintances, Bin had opened a cozy small café in a relatively empty street. It wasn’t the best of locations, but he did not care. Bin was fo
Brule River Boreal Forest State, Russia. The forest, excluding wild beasts, was generally devoid of humans. However, today, it was the total opposite. The Russian Government dispatched its military and barricaded the huge region. Jets were flying through the air, trying to scout the ground and eliminate the legions of Pests stationed around the river and in-between the countless trees. However, the most eye-catching thing was the crimson crack hanging in the sky, its blood-red light outshining even the sun. Its mere presence brought for a foreboding and eerie atmosphere as well as a thick fog of the same color. Although well-equipped, the Russian Government did not act recklessly or rashly. They kne
“I won’t be away for long, okay?” “Promise?” Nina, looking a bit sad, lowered her head and tried not to cry. To appease her, Bin gave her a tight hug and repeatedly reassured her that everything will be alright. It has been ten days since his return to Earth and though no one forced him to act, he deemed now as the right time to get rid of the Rifts once and for all. Fortunately, there were no spotted Rifts in M-nation, therefore, Bin would soon have to leave for other countries. “Next time, I’ll bring you to fun places! I will bring gifts back with me, too!” Jasmine also hugged Nina and playfully pulled her c
“Sorry for the wait.”-Angelica “It’s fine.” Replied Bin as he sat back down next to Jasmine and smiled at her parents. While they discussed things, he spent some time chatting with the servants and managed to clear things up with Hyue. It was a good decision to come here and mend past relationships now that he was moving on and turning a new leaf. Unlike earlier, Theodore looked calmer but he was still glaring at him. As for Angelica, her expression was never-changing and, as always, unreadable. “My husband and I are not against your relationship, Bin. I only ask that you take good care of her.” “It shall be done, Madam.” “It better do! If I hear
Bin and Jasmine walked for a while before they returned to the car.“I should be the one ‘walking you home’. Sadly, I don’t have a driver’s license.”Bin sighed and watched as she drove him back to the villa. The trip back home felt brief as they talked on the way, but when they reached their destination, the two were silent.“If you have nothing to do, let’s meet tomorrow.” Suggested Bin as he looked at the white-haired Silver Dragon.Of course, Jasmine agreed with a meek nod. As he was about to get off, she abruptly stretched her arm and grabbed his, thus making him halt his actions.“Jasmine?”
Late at night, after the family had dinner and everyone retreated to their rooms, Bin went downstairs and, as he had expected, found Emilia in the kitchen. She absent-mindedly looked at the dining table and not even his arrival was noticed. Only when he pulled a chair and sat right next to her did she twitch and look at him. “Mother, you’re still worried?” He faintly smiled and gently grasped her hands, which eased the frown on her face. “How can I not be when my son refuses to listen to reason? Everytime, I get to see you for a brief time and then you leave.” “
Barely half a day after he woke up, Bin was in perfect health. However, Ann insisted that stays for two additional days, to which he nodded in obedience. As expected, he received many visits from Bert and the rest. Elise and, especially, Emilia, came every couple of hours to check on him and bring food. “Umm… so, there’s a matter that warrants an explanation. But, I think it’s better to wait till you come home.” Elise, fidgeting, peeled an orange while uttering those vague words. “It would have been better if you stayed silent.” “I was just warning you. At least, that way, you won’t be as surprised. Just brace yourself… okay?” Life as A Servant
When Bin finally regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself in an overly-extravagant and spacious hospital room. He took a couple of seconds to look around before slowly sitting up.He wasn’t particularly injured and the overwhelming exhaustion he was subjected to prior and after opening the portal was completely gone, fortunately.“Bin.”Somewhat softly called out to him, thus did his gaze jump to the source of the voice. He was facing Elise, Emilia, and, unexpectedly, the now grown-up Ryne. The three were sitting on a wide leather sofa and chatting quietly only to be startled by his sudden awakening.His mother ran to his side and supported him, fearing that he was experiencing pain. Life as A Servant
“Hurry up, Bin!” Although she was fending off the horde of Pests, Jasmine could not fight forever. She remained close to Bin and continuously swung her sword at any incoming enemies. At the same time, Bin was strengthening his connection with the white crystal. Slowly but surely, a gentle wave of white light flowed from within his body and started taking the shape of a human-sized portal. Unfortunately, Jasmine was reaching her limits and ended up getting blasted far away. Her body crashed on the ground and rolled a couple of times. Although she hastily got back on her feet and ran back, it wasn’t fast enough to stop the Pests from reaching Bin. With all his concentration focused on the connection, Bin could not defend himChapter 495 : Reunion
