บท 13: Creepy Chef

Beth took the remote control and opened the door. Another device that needs finger scan.

***A/N: At this moment my only thought was… the only thing that is missing is blood recognition and spirit, QI, divine sense… but that means being labeled as cultivation book…***

When number 5 and number 6 enter the office, they were shocked seen Beth on the main chair of the table desk.

You can say it's funny seeing a little girl in her tens, sitting on a big chair that can occupy three people of the same size as her.

With a serious expression and solemn and regal voice, she talks first.

"Number 5: Jordan Dimes, age 14 years old. Have a little sister of 12 years old and is waiting for rescue.

Number 6: Edmund Scott, age 14 years old. Disowned and wants to make his father and the family's head regret such a decision.

I have the power to grant you this desire, but are thou certain that thou can repay the price of such desire. It's an equal give and take what thou want?"

Both Jordan and Edmund saw her with an exquisite number of mixed expressions, shock, fear, wary, doubt, all of that with a frown on their faces.

She gives them time to think and put in order their thoughts.

Silence descended on the office.

No sounds come out from neither of them.

…

Five minutes later, after taking a deep breath Jordan was the first to speak.

"If, if by chance, in case that you have that kind of power, I can say for sure that my little sister and I can serve you, but the only request is that don't tide me, to make me your family's slave." When he finishes speaking, he looked at her with sharp and determined eyes.

He knows as a matter of fact that she is powerful enough, just being here is the proof, the door means something.

"Oh, you're doubting my ability? No problem."

Jordan with a pale face pressed his lips and after two seconds.

"I'm sorry, it was not my intention, but I can't trust anyone so fast for this matter."

"Hmm..."

Then she turns her attention to the almost most composed one in front of her.

"Being part of the Scott's, you sure know something."

"My mother was a niece of a Golden Royal, so she knew about the crest of each one of them." With sad, longing and another emotion that can't be sure to know, pass through the eyes of Edmund.

"Yes, I know, so tell me your decision?"

"I want to be strong, no one know what happened to my mother, but I know, I was there that night, when everything went wrong for them, so I accept your offer, but I agree with Jordan, I won't be a slave."

The part that something happened to his mother wasn't part of the files.

'Why isn't in there, did someone steal it, erase it, or maybe no one wanted to record it, something is fishy here.' Lost in her thoughts did not notice that she, herself was in a daze.

"Miss…" Lina called her and bring her back to reality.

Beth recomposes herself, coughing to hide her embarrassment at being in a daze.

"Cough… Cough."

"Well, I work with papers as guaranties, so I'll make a contract for each one of you, and you make a report of your lives, and Mr. Edmund, I want what happened to your mother in the report to." with a serious expression.

Paled, Edmund, hesitated.

When Beth saw this, tries to reassure him.

"I won't make a move, It'll be you, I only knew she was a distant niece of Old Madam Lebront, I have a good relationship with her and their family, so I'll help you find what you are after."

For answer this Edmund sigh in relief.

"Sigh, thank you!"

"Okay, well tomorrow after give my report to one of the higher ups, you'll come with me, there are other ways to make elite points, and in three years you'll be in Guardian or Paladin, either is fine for a while."

"The contract you will have by tonight. That will be your last chance to back off.

But be wary, I can teach you, but It will be worse than the Academy's training.

If you need to archive your goals on four years, that's it."

Both of them looked at each other eyes and saw determination, happiness, desire.

'We will be stronger!' That was what went the thought of both of them.

"Sure, thanks." Exited the boys said at the same time.

"Okay, you can go" she dismissed them with a wave of her hand, and lean back on the chair.

After both of the boys left the office, they left her in a trance, watching the door closing until it was completely closed.

A little muddle could be seen in her eyes.

She will have to wait for the report and know what happened to that auntie...

Yes, she knew Edmund's mother, but she only met her twice, the first time was in 'that funeral', the second time was 2 days before her death three years ago.

But the last one, was a weird meeting, she was in the Lebront old house, because she needed a contract for the government for a mission at that time, and that auntie was nervous, scared, like she was going through some heavy things.

"Sigh, I liked that auntie."

After getting back from her memories, she decides to start with the contract for both of them.

…

It was lunchtime, the fifth floor has their own private kitchen, the chef tried to impress the Little Lady heir, the one who has a luxurious, extravagant taste for food.

Her tongue has a tasty sense, she can't eat just anything, but of course, an exquisite palate results from how it was her upbringing.

For today's menu, the chef wanted to shine!

+ Entry:

Crab cream

+ Main Dish:

Burger Extravagant.

+ Dessert:

The Frozen Haute Chocolate.

She was used to the chef behavior, so; she let him be smug for a while, because she always likes what he made.

Mr. Antonio Barbarossa, has been following Beth since she was 3 years old, missions, Academy, he was everywhere she was.

Another member of her squad, but why a chef you'll ask? Yes, it's strange but Beth often says.

"If you have excellent and healthy food, you can even lift an elephant, so no matter what you have to honor mealtimes."

He is in his early twenties, tall, around 1,80mts, skinny, fair skin, black short hair, brown sharp eyes, a slightly pronounced nose, thin brown lips. A beauty in some sense.

But don't look down this chef, one of her criteria for selecting him is his top-notch martial arts, he is like a killing machine with his kitchen knife, yes, the ten inches kitchen knife is his favorite weapon.

Of course, it's a different one that uses in the kitchen… but that doesn't stop him to have another one.

And he always sharpens his kitchen knife either to kill or to make food.

'Long'… yes it has a name, each one of his favorite's ones, kind of creepy.

He says that Long means Dragon in Chinese, and he is a fan of Chinese culture.
