Getting no response, Silvia searched around for some support, “Please help me look for my brother! I- I know I was wrong, but as long as my brother is willing to come back, I’d even become his slave!”
“I’m alright,” Riley nodded his head to his companions silently, motioning for them not to worry. Standing up, he slapped Silvia’s face in ridicule, “Why do you need to look for me, when I am right before your eyes, my dear sister? Oops, I mean, my dear slave~.”
“You!” Silvia staggered a few times to find her balance, feeling the stinging sensation on her cheek. Her eyes showed an abundance of fearlessness as she barked at him in resentment, but her words still maintained their innocence, “It’s enough that you never apologized to me, but must you also deceive other people? You will soon be married to the Fester family and are still fooling around like a child!”
“You should worry about yourself instead.” Unlike the original Riley, the current one snorted coldly when a luxurious car came to fetch them up, “To think you would even sell your body to such a scum, I wonder what grandma would think if she knew.” He took out a clean handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped his hand clean. He would let Silvia go just because he wanted to see her turn into a laughing stock before the whole banquet, “Let’s go.”
.....
Riley would not take the initiative to start a conflict unless the protagonists were actively against him. Victor realised that Silvia was clearly provoking his ‘meekness’. But what was he supposed to do to break her character? Kill her on the spot? While walking next to Riley, he didn’t stop observing Silvia who fell to her knees. That girl deserved first place for a drama queen.
“Aaaaaah!” Silvia screamed in excruciating pain. She almost fainted from the unbearable pressure in her head, which was many times worse than her shattered bones and her scorching hair. No, what was Bing Shi doing to her? Change it back! She wanted to feel good again!
· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·
Victor shook off the bad foreboding in his heart as he looked out from inside that car with Riley. The sight of a mad Silvia looked like she was begging before something or someone? Rubbing his eyes, he swore that he saw something.
‘~Go back to sleep!’
Dai An immediately warned that stupid part of herself which didn’t learn how to control her godhood yet, to switch off again. The first time Bing Shi transmigrated into Silvia’s body without any prior practice, she caused Silvia to faint from the unbearable trauma to the soul.
‘I just thought you might have needed some privacy.’
‘~I can’t move without Silvia’s assistance.’
‘Then ask hubby to move you, easy peasy.’
For a millisecond, an angel appeared above Silvia’s head. Using the wings to wrap herself in a cocoon, Bing Shi stirred slightly during her sleep and disappeared one more time.
‘~No need.”
Unable to hold back a tiny smile, Dai An tiredly dragged herself to the family self-driving car which almost drove over Riley. The technology in this world was very advanced; most inhabitants didn’t know how to use magic and were forced to keep up with the powerful enemies outside of the barrier.
Dai An thought about how it was more beneficial for Xuan Mu to keep his personalities separated from each other, by bringing forth the old memories and pushing back the rest. She didn’t want to have anything in common with that easily distracted scaredy chicken, but it was unavoidable. Getting back together with Bing Shi was the best thing that happened in her entire life. Without her, there would be no point in existing anymore.
· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·
How was Dai An any different from Bing Shi? There was one significant difference. Xuan Mu couldn’t get used to how Dai An could focus her mind on a task she hated without running away. It saved him so many nerves. He didn’t have to force his wife to a point of tears and him ending up sleeping on the couch anymore.
After the strenuous exercise, Dai An breathlessly sat in the back seat. The odour of sweat and tobacco that suddenly enveloped her made her sense of smell grow numb. Other people like Victor might think that she made herself look undesirable because of the identity behind this man.
He was sitting on the other side of the car silently, bestowing her a view of his side profile. Earl Fester was a man in his late thirties. One would wonder how such an ‘old’ man hasn’t found a mate yet. Omegas were just that rare, and he was not influential enough to get one during that time. After serving in the military, he focused on gaining back glory for his family as the only alfa left.
Usually, there were at least three generations of alphas for a family to be considered influential. The inbreeding between the Fester family members seemed to be a failure because the moment they stopped this tactic, Earl Fester was born. Spoiled to the skies, he became the greatest asset of the family. The number of crimes the Fester carried out just to bring him to life was countless, and he took it as his duty to continue their tradition of continuing their lineage.
Nobody should expect a fourth capture target due to all his attributes lacking heavily in comparison to the three male leads. Inside the story, his existence was used as a tool to show how great everyone was compared to him – a true villain everyone hated and avoided at all costs.
The absence of exercise and poor diet caused him to cross the red line of a healthy weight. His dark-toned skin carried a greasy...no, for her, it was a rosy lustre, which covered his first signs of ageing. The strands of white in his thick eyebrows and balding hair betrayed his age.
His dark pupils sometimes radiated a sharp glint without a tint of the usual playfulness she was used to, making him look very stern and dangerous.
