"Stay right there."
The same man commanded with so much authority in his voice to the point that even the panic-stricken Abby was made to comply.
She heard footsteps and based on its sound, the other party was already getting near her, yet she remained frozen on the spot. She could not even move a finger at the moment, let alone her head to look at the direction of the man who was approaching her.
For some unknown reason, Abby was scared stiff as a stone.
"Who are you and who brought you here???"
The manly voice once again echoed within the darkness. His voice sounded psychedelic yet at the same time, it also had its own sense of appeal that could convince one to listen to his voice over and over again.
Even Abby found it hard to deny that if she would ever be given a chance to listen to the other party's voice, she would gladly do so.
Obviously, the other party was no other than, Eugene himself.The same warlock, who together with his pet cat, Jorah, chose to live amongst the non-magic human.He wondered how the other party managed to track him down and what more was that she even managed to read those inscriptions written in ancient Marcellian calligraphy.The other party surely caught his attention this time, and since he was also currently in need of an assistant, he decided to give Abby a chance.However..."Get away from me! You freak!!!"Abby shoved him away as soon as she regained her footing but because of her abrupt action, she fell on her feet."What a clumsy, young lady."
Abby ran around the place like a headless chicken and Eugene did not stop her, he just let her did as she pleased since she would not get far from him anyway.There was no way she could escape him, the room was surrounded with nothing but walls and without his enchantment, no one would be able to leave the place.Meanwhile, Abby desperately felt in the dark. She convinced herself that the exit was somewhere within those walls."HEEEEEELLLLLPPP!"She screamed until her voice already turned coarse. But obviously no one would be able to hear her.Tears started to strea
"What about him?"Abby asked while looking at Jorah's direction. The cat sure was cute but the fact that it possessed a human voice and could actually speak was what bothered Abby the most.There was no way an ordinary cat could talk!"My name is Jorah. I am a cat, obviously?"Jorah replied to Abby while at the same time rubbing his body affectionately against his master's leg.Meanwhile, seeing the disbelief in Abby's eyes, Eugene picked up his cat and then explained at Abby afterward."Jorah used to be an ordinary tomcat, just like the others, but since he was now my pet, I gave him an upgrade. After all, what is my magic for?"Eugene said with a shrug."And you are???"Abby asked because the other party already introduced his cat but not him
"Look... It was not that I did not want to accept the job. To be honest with you, I actually badly need one. But, is there really a need for me to sign this blood contract???"Abby's face subconsciously twitched when she mentioned the word blood."Of course??? Because that is what would bind us. I don't trust words alone. Especially if it was uttered by a mere mortal. I've seen a lot of people who did not honor their words and break their oaths in the past.""But-----"Abby hesitated but Eugene finished her sentence off."But you are thinking you could be actually signing a death sentence.""Err... Quite close to that."Abby admitted, then she reasoned out."Who knows if this contract was actually about me selling my soul or something to the demon?"
Abby was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard Eugene issued a command."Jorah, the dagger.""Wait?! What was the dagger for? I thought---"Abby asked with a quivering voice as dread started to cloud her features. She eyed the cat warily as it handed Eugene a dagger.Meanwhile, seeing her reaction, Eugene only flashed her a smirk."Relax.""Relax you say? Go and try hearing that from a complete stranger holding a dagger before your eyes and tell me if you could calm down despite that."That was what Abby wanted to say but she no longer had the courage to do so. Instead, she backed up at the corner and watched what was about to happen next.Eugene, on the other hand, chose not to speak anymore and with
"So.. what about now? I mean, now that I am done signing the contract, what would be the next?"Abby probed. It was not that she was excited or anything else but she just wanted for all of it to be over."Just wait and see."
Abby obviously did not expect the cat to push her from behind her back so she was caught off guard. As a result, she tripped on her own feet, making her descend to another free fall, face first again at that.There was no way she could be able to reverse the situation anymore so she just closed her eyes and braced herself for the impact once her face came in contact on the floor.However, the anticipated fall did not come as she expected, and instead, she felt warm arms caught her."I can't believe myself that I take a clumsy girl as my apprentice. As early as now, I could already see the tons of headache brewing along my way."Eugene said more to himself, but he said that out loud, enough for Abby to hear.Meanwhile, afraid that the other party might catch her blushing upon the mere sight of him, Abby hastily pulled away. She stepped back to
Abby walked alongside Jorah on the corridor and good thing that the other party was quite talkative so there has been no awkward air between the two of them.Jorah the tomcat may be too straightforward once he talked but he was actually easy to get along with. Maybe it was because of the absence of pretense that could usually be found with humans.The place was actually huge compared to what Abby initially expected. From the outside, no one would probably have the faintest idea that a dilapidated house was actually hiding a grander interior inside.Likewise, the two chatted along the way as they walked and the tomcat even gave Abby some few reminders."Just a tip, little girl, Master Eugene hate tardiness. So as much as possible, see to it that you are never late in any of your assignments."Jorah pointed out to which Abby nodded her head in
"How I wish I could personally wipe that smile on your face. It was so irritating."She thought to herself."Ehem...ahem..."The old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat and everyone fell silent. He carefully scans all faces present in the hall until it landed on Mu Lingxi and he smiles slightly.When the old man was sure that everyone is already present, he stands up and started the meeting. This old man was no other than the clan head, Mu Ruochen. Mu Lingxi's grandfather.
The morning sunray that went through the blinds of her window, forced Ai Hee out from her dreamland.It was so bright that when she opened her eyes, it almost blinded her."Hey! Close the window, what do you want?!"With a groggy head, she inquired at her cat; because when she tried to peaked through her half closed eyes, she saw her cat seating next to their window.Most likely than not, it was the other party who opened the window, with an intention to wake her."MEOW"[ It's time to wake up little lass. Your grandfather has been waiting for you since the break of dawn he and had been sending Yanyan to fetch you. But you simply would not bulge from that bed of yours. ]Nero replied while lazily stretching his back."AHRGG! give five more minutes!"Ai Hee mumbled as she slumped back to her bed and covered her head using one of her pillows. She intended to come back to her sleep, but Nero would not allow her to have it h
"MEOW"[ Let us just forget what we heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]her cat tried to console her but they both feel like they were coyed.Mu Lingxi ignored his cat and instead look at Yanyan who was eating something that resembles Pringles."And what was that made from?" Mu Lingxi became more cautious and ask Yanyan first before tasting one."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a CINCHONA TREE" Yanyan unhurriedly answered as she takes a bite from the chip.Mu Lingxi finds it more acceptable to eat so she decided to give it a try. It tasted like Piattos' roadhouse barbeque." I never thought that a simple bark of a tree-like this can turn to be a delectable food in this place." Mu Lingxi exclaimed.Yanyan wonders why her young miss acts so strange. It was as if it was her first time knowing this kind of food.Nevertheless, she never doubted
Abby had thought about going back to her bed and resumed her sleep but then she remembered that today was her special day!"I am 18 now!!!! This is the day that I have been waiting for."She said as she bolted up straight from her bed.Without even bothering to wash her face or at least combed her hair and fix its hot mess, Abby immediately ran towards her door.But to her surprise, the door seemed lock from the outside! And no matter how hard she tried to push nor heave the door, it just simply would not budge.That was when Abby started to had a bad feeling."What was wrong with this door?!! Hey! Let me out of here!!!"She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that it would catch the attention of anyone from the other side of the door, but her efforts had only gone to naught.... SI
"For your 25, 000-dollar question, what is the name of the plant that could turn the one who devoured them into some sort of zombie and control its minds???"A. OphiocordycepsB. Wolf's BaneC. PigweedorD. Resurrecting PlantThe bald game show master asked Abby. His extremely white teeth made a great contrast with his dark skin as he smiled at her.Abby at the moment was playing as a contestant at what seemed to be a game show where one would have to answer some questions that were prepared beforehand.Rewards were also decided prior to the start of the game and every correct answer would allow the player to get a specific amount of money."Was there really a plant capable of doing that? FOR REAL?!!!"Abby asked the game master in return."Yes, dear. And you have to get the right answer for you
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
I was suddenly taken aback by what he said. What does that mean? “Do you think I really belong to the Rohan family? I just adopted Alyanna !!! Because at first, my adoptive parents thought they would never have children. Case they made a mistake, they had a son! Your dad. ”“And what happened when he entered my life? He stole all the attention of my parents! He is the good one, he is the kind one, he has all the inheritance and nothing is left to me! ” No one told me about that.“But I accepted that Alyanna because your dad was kind to me. He even promised to share the family property with me… but it disappeared! It disappeared like a bubble because your good mother Allina came !!! ”
"Oh… I'll leave you first… I'm going to cry too!" Then Vander left immediately."And if you need anything, just call me.""I already have what I need Brylle." I held on tightly to the necklace I was wearing. The necklace that my mom and dad left for me. "Thank you."Brylle and I stared at each other for a long time. He turned around so I thought he was leaving. But he suddenly came back to face me again.Then he slowly bowed… and gave me another kiss on the cheek. "I'm
“Do you know, ladies, that we have been looking for the lost treasure of the White Light Clan for a long time? Eighteen years! We have been looking for it for so long! ”“So don't hurt us !!! We will tell you where that woman is so that you can get the sacred treasure you are looking for! ”"But we alam we do not know where he…""Shut up, Cerina !!!" The young man looked at Cerina and then at Seline."And you still plan to fool me?"&n
