0048 Black Bellied Master
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The rumbling sound and the trembling of the earth persisted for minutes. The man who was playing with his phone while lounging on the cleopatra chaise in his room looked up and sighed. He craned his neck to look at the gloomy weather outside the window and dragged himself up.
Cloudy weather usually made him lazier than his usual lazy self. But he knew very well that the brooding weather outside was just an illusion. His green eyes could clearly see and he could clearly feel the suffocating energy assimilated in the air.
He smiled blandly and turned towards the doorway where another man quietly stood.
“What’s André doing?”
The tall man addressed straightened up before reporting.
“Young Master, the Master is sitting

“Excuse me? What past?” Cedric sounded confused. “Retrieve your body?”Andre de Lancy did not move, nor did he say anything else to deny or acknowledge the questions. Cedric sighed, resigning to the fate of dying of curiosity for a long while. This cousin of his, even if he was amiable towards him, if it’s something that he did not want to talk about, he would never open his mouth to say anything.“What happened while I was sleeping?” André asked as expected, changing the topic.Cedric studied him for a while before pouting.“The little bitch touched your wife,” Cedric said and André raised his brow at him.Whenever Cedric spoke crass language in his Br

Hearing this, Cedric could not say anything else. After all, everything was according to what André wanted. If he was satisfied with something, even if Cedric thought that it was a pity or tragic, he would follow his wishes. “What are your plans now?” André shrugged. “Nothing— nothing new at least until I get rid of this miasma,” he answered, but Cedric was confused. “Why wait? It’s not like she would know the dark energy is coming from you,” Cedric said. Months ago when he and André visited Evely at Hampton Hills, Cedric tried releasing his divine energy to see if she would react. If she did, it meant that her celestial blood was awake, and she could feel the energy in the air.
REBORN: Gemini 0051 Filled Out Nicely
Today was the first day of school. Evie woke up very early in the morning, not because she was excited to go to class, but because since returning to Hampton Hills, she started doing meditations to increase her very low amount of celestial power. She had wanted to do this earlier, but she stopped herself because of her medically recorded head injury that was supposed to be severe. If she did exercises at the hospital where she knew the nurses and doctors monitored her, she would be found suspicious.Or a medical anomaly.Either way, it would spell trouble to her. She did not want to be entangled with unnecessary things. While she was still weak, she’d hoped to be an inconspicuous student. Although being unremarkable was already a bit impossible considering Evely’s past record and wild style— plus the fact that she was the daughter of Francis H
REBORN: Gemini 0052 Altair City High School
“Uncle, stop the car,” Evie told the chauffeur when they were still a street away from the school. “Darling, why did you ask John to stop?” Liz asked, and Evie smiled at her. “Mom, I never took the car to school before. I want to walk from here,” she said. Liz sighed, but she looked like she understood Evie’s wish. But she pouted and looked at her coquettishly. “But you have to let mom pick you up later okay? Eli will be back with his grandparents later so we will pick you up together.” Eli was Elijah, Liz and Francis’ five year old son, Evely’s little brother. An image of a pudgy five year old flashed in Evie’s mind, and her facial features and eyes softened. “Alright,” she
REBORN: Gemini 0053 Special Class
Wait… Evie had reached the third floor of the main building where her class was and her thoughts stopped upon seeing her classmates. Or some of them. Boys in tracksuits leaned against some desks as they huddled together for a chat. There were six groups in total and most of them were boys. There were a few girls, but it was easy to see that they were not the delicate types. In fact, Evie looked like a rare flower in the room with her long hair. The girls in the room mostly had short hair tied up harshly in a bun or pony on top of their heads. They all looked like physically fit kids. As soon as Evie opened the door, the chitchat in the room stopped as they all turned to Evie with questioning looks. Ah…
REBORN: Gemini 054 Unrecognizable
Evie smiled sheepishly as everyone’s attention was on her. Well, what else could she say in this situation? None. She just decided to stay quiet and go with the flow. At least with a reason out in the open, she didn’t have to explain anything to anyone or be mindful of her actions.“Are we clear?” the teacher asked and everybody good-naturedly agreed.The teacher then switched the discussion to the upcoming grade-wide review. After giving them some pointers and the schedule for the review, homeroom ended. Before leaving the room, Kelly Frasier asked Evie to follow her to her office.Evie had no idea why she was asked to go, but she did as she was told. As she stepped out of the classroom, the other students who had finished homeroom and were scattered in the corridors looked at her curiously.

“I’m not upset. I’m okay with my dad’s and the school’s arrangement.” Kelly Frasier studied Evie for a while before nodding in approval. “Good. You should keep your pass. Just show it to the guard when you’re not feeling well, and ask them to call anyone you need. You already have my number, so don’t hesitate to call or send a message when you need something.” The last thing the school wanted was for another accident to happen. This, of course, was not only for the school’s prestige, but because it genuinely cared for its students. The pass was for Evely to be able to go out of the gate when she needed to go somewhere. But obviously, even if Kelly did not mention it, Evie should have a very good reason for leaving. If not, even with a pass, the guards wouldn’t let her out.
REBORN: Gemini 0056 A Cuckoo Exposed
“Ah?” If jaws could literally drop, hers would have long been on the floor. It was obvious that Eileen was not expecting this very nonchalant treatment on their first meeting after ten years. Her fake gray eyes widened and her beautiful face crumpled, looking aggrieved. She placed a hand over her chest dramatically, but Evie was not moved at all. She continued to look at the pretentious girl coolly, not buying her dramatics. But the teachers who were looking at them thought to intervene, sensing that something was up. “Ah, student, this is Eileen Hunt, a newly transferred student from Paris,” a friendly, middle aged male teacher introduced. Evie recognized the teacher as Mr. Neil Thompson, the chemistry teacher of the third year students. He was also the homeroom tea

“Hi! Is Kyle Simmons here? I’m his cousin. He said he will help us look around.”Richard asked in a very friendly manner, and Wilson returned his smile.“You’re Richard?” he asked back, and when the other nodded, he pointed at the seats next to the booth. “Kyle already told us about you the other day. Just sit there and wait a bit. He will be here in a while.”“Thanks,” Richard said, and the three followed his invitation and sat on the plastic chairs on the side.Wilson returned to his group and helped them attach photos of the different places the club members had been to.Actually, Kyle, Richard’s cousin, was not a member of the hiking club. He’s a member of the urban exploration team. But since the number of people were not many, and the members of the hiker’s club weren’t a lot as well, their club and the Hikers’ Club shared a booth. It was such a coincidence, but a very good coincidence on their part.The three sat quietly as they watched the people get busy. They did not offer h
REBORN: Gemini 0088 Youth Hall
“Boss, you’re here…”Evie turned to her side where the pedestrian entrance to the university was and saw both Richard and James standing there, as if waiting.“Why are you guys still there? Why didn’t you go in?”“We want to wait for you here,” they answered plainly.She was perplexed. She didn’t know what to say. She clearly didn’t want them to suffer for her, but they were just too cute and acted like her real lackeys. She didn’t know why she deserved such treatment, though. She could not really remember their past interactions, and she doubted if that gloomy Evely treated them correctly.“Fine, let’s go inside, then,” she said, and all three of them went to the gate.Altair University was not as strict to its students. They could go in and out anytime they wanted using their passes. However, not just anybody could enter the school on normal days. One had to be a student, a faculty member, or staff at the school in order to enter.Today, however, was a special day. It’s an open scho
REBORN: Gemini 0087 Unexpected Source
“Miss, the car is ready.”Evie looked up from her empty plate and saw Bernard standing a few steps away, looking regal as always. These days, she felt like a spoiled princess since the butler and all the servants took good care of her impeccably. Most often than not, before she even opened her mouth to ask for something, it’s either already prepared or already done.Bernard was really true to his title as the number one steward in Altair. He could anticipate well what his employers needed and prepared them in advance. If Evie was not sure that he was a hundred percent mortal, she would think he had an “all seeing eye”. It was a power similar to Dolya’s that could foresee the future.“Then I will go now,” she said as she picked up her bag and walked towards the entrance.Last night, she asked Bernard for directions to Altair University. Evely had never been there, as she had no memory of how to go to that school. She just knew that it was not that far from Altair City High School. But
REBORN: Gemini 0086 Cannot Afford To Be A Bully
Hazel was indignant. “Why do you talk as if you know anything? You were not there. What do you know?”Wil raised a brow at her.“Don’t deny it. You know that Eric’s brother is in your school and he saw everything.”Eric Wales was Wilson’s best friend and classmate. His younger brother was a year younger than Hazel and also attended Altair City High School. Since the incident happened at the cafeteria at lunch time, it was totally possible that her actions were witnessed by the boy.Hazel’s eyes turned glum. She was very upset with her brother and herself.“What exactly happened?”This time, Hazel had no choice but to confess. She was arrogant, but only in the premise that her powerful family had her back. But if she’s in the wrong, although they would side with her in the presence of other people, they would never let her off in private.“You did that?”Her parents looked visibly disappointed. Hazel knew that since returning to Altair and “changing” her personality, her parents had b
REBORN: Gemini 0085 Secret Arrogance
That same night, in a different part of the city, another soul was restless. Hazel Trent had been in her room since she returned from school. She had been in a bad mood since the incident at the cafeteria, and then her confrontation with her so-called friends in their classroom.“Hmph! What friends!”Hazel had been incensed since the group of people who went to the cafeteria with her had turned their backs on her.Traitors!Well, technically, they did not betray her at all. They just suddenly woke up from the trance of unreasonableness that had fogged their brains. In fact, even if they realized that Hazel had egged them on so they would tag along in intimidating Evely Hunt and get scolded by Hanz, they never blamed her, and had advised her not to do it anymore. There was no sense in antagonizing Evely Hunt, since the girl did not do anything bad to them, nor as they said, did she start any of the fights she had, even before.Also, in the week since class had started, the student hadn

“Of course not,” James hastily denied, making the others laugh again.“Hey Hanz, where do you plan to study next? Have you chosen your university?” Richard asked.“Altair University, of course,” he answered swiftly. “I’ll be going there tomorrow, by the way. They have an open school.”James, Richard, and Evie exchanged glances.“What’s going on?”“Nothing. We’re planning to go there too in the morning,” Evie answered.The open school would open at nine in the morning. Evie and the others planned to go there at the opening time or at least she was going to suggest they went there at the opening time before they were interrupted by the crazy group earlier. Most students arrived around an hour before lunch break onwards. Not many students went around the opening time.“Really? Let’s all go together then,” Hanz invited and the others agreed.Evie planned to rope Hanz in her group anyway since he looked like he would be hanging out with them a lot. As for James and Richard, they didn’t min
REBORN: Gemini 0083 Evely Is Not Troublesome
“You have scary fans,” Evie told Hanz in amusement as soon as the group left the cafeteria.The drama has ended, and so, the students who hung out at the canteen started dispersing. Actually, even if they disagreed with the group for being rude, it was still a fact that Evely Hunt was famous for her fighting skills, and so most of the students were afraid of her.Also, Hanz Jensen, the top student was also there and he just got angry at the group earlier, and so they did not dare hang out longer. Even those who were still eating hastened their pace. Why? Because they didn’t want to have the attention of the group consisting of Evely Hunt, Hanz Jensen, James de Lancy, and Richard Simmons, who were all famous at school.All four people, plus the missing Yann Bouchard, comprised the people who were not supposed to be crossed at school. Hanz was the top student and he had tons of fans who were ready to slap people who would dare cross him. As for the others, they were from the leading fam
REBORN: Gemini 0082 Hazel Trent
“You…”The class monitor of Class One was shocked at how Hanz Jensen had spoken to them. The Ice Prince might be cold and aloof to others, but he never scolded nor criticized anyone. They had never seen him this angry either. They tried to defend themselves but Hanz cut them off.“We were just concerned—"“I don’t need you to worry about me. I can take care of myself. You should worry about yourselves. When you attack or harass other people with your self-proclaimed justice without bothering to know the truth, that’s called bigotry. You should reflect on your actions.”Evie mentally clapped her hands as she could not do it while the people Hanz just scolded were still there. Even if she agreed with Hanz and she was displeased with the group, she didn’t feel it was correct for her to visibly gloat over their public embarrassment.Yes, public embarrassment. Because the group had caused a ruckus when they suddenly arrived with scary expressions and started scolding Evie’s group, they at
REBORN: Gemini 0081 None Of Your Business
“Excuse me?”The girl looked offended. Her expression was akin to someone who just got her shit thrown on her face, and it would have been funny if it were a joke. But the girl was seriously offended even though she was the one who was rude first.“I said you’re an idiot,” Evie repeated without mincing her words.The group looked shocked. It seemed nobody had ever told them that they were stupid before. But it was understandable considering the class they were from. But that was not the point.“Are you talking about me?”“Is there any other idiot here— ah my bad. You’re a group. Birds of a feather, flock together, and so you’re all probably stupid if you came looking for her with the same stupid reason,” Richard mocked.“How dare you call us stupid?”“But aren’t you? We’re quietly having our meal here and you came spouting nonsense disrupting us.”“We’re not spouting nonsense!”“Oh, and which part within your reasoning makes sense? Why do you claim that the boss is dragging Hanz Jense
