Chapter 3: Potion X
Chapter 3: Potion X
The city of Avalerion always bathed in warm sunlight. Sometimes, the clouds would shield it from the scorching sun. For most people, today was just as beautiful as any other day. But for Ryan, today was the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
Today, he was officially married to a very beautiful and wealthy woman. Looking at Ryan's previous daily life, of course a day like this was just a dream for him.
But for Irina Hagrim, today was her worst nightmare. Today she had married a low class, rude and shameless person like Ryan.
Before fulfilling the conditions given by the borrower, which was marrying Ryan, Irina had already investigated her future husband beforehand. With the resources and network of the Avalerion Company, she easily obtained Ryan's personal information. The result of the investigation found that Ryan was an orphan, so there'd be less threats from his side that could leak this matter to the public. With this, one of Irina's biggest worries had been eliminated.
However, what made her nightmare even worse was one of the conditions Ryan had put forwardstaying at her house for the duration of their contract marriage.
After getting her marriage certificate, Irina couldn't help but bring Ryan to her house.
In her car, Ryan acted like a happy child. He played on the radio and was even more childish when he rolled up and down the window many times before finally poking his head out. When people saw them, Irina didn't know how to explain this situation. Fortunately, their trip did not attract much attention and they finally arrived at an elite housing estate.
Beverly Hills was one of the elite areas in the City of Avalerion. Irina's house was in the same area with other rich people. After arriving at his new love nest, Ryan immediately got out of the car and looked in amazement at his new enormous house.
"Hey! Don't get out of the car, we're not in the house yet. I don't want people around here to see your face."
After parking the car, they both entered their 'love nest'.
Enchanted by the size of this house, Ryan immediately behaved like an enthusiastic toddler and couldn't wait to explore the house in search of treasure. If it weren't for Irina's scolding, maybe Ryan would have traveled for real.
Fearing of spies and hidden camera lenses that might stalk her, Irina immediately brought her husband into the house and escorted him to his room. Seeing the spacious room and the large, soft-looking bed, made Ryan subconsciously compare it to his pathetic rental residence. Therefore, he immediately jumped onto the bed and felt a cloud-like tenderness he had never felt.
"WOW! So soft! I've never felt this comfortable in bed." Ryan said, jumping up and down on the bed.
Irina watched Ryan bounce on the bed without a word. She just held tight the marriage certificate that she had been holding since earlier. She then thought to herself, 'Calm yourself Irina, it's worth it in the end. This certificate will get you a very large amount of money!'
"Susan, I'll be out for a moment. Please watch this boy for a while. "
Susan had been a servant to the Hagrim family for a long time. It could be said that she was the one who took care of Irina since childhood. Perhaps, since she had lived with an elite family for a long time, Susan looked healthy and energetic despite her 50s appearance.
With a smile on her face, Susan agreed to the young lady's request. After being explained by her young lady about the identity of this man, Susan swallowed her opinion deeply and could only follow her employer's order. She couldn't believe that her young lady who often turned down handsome and influential men from all over the country would turn out to marry an ordinary man like this.
After the young lady got back down and went to her car, Susan stayed in Ryan's new room. Seeing Ryan acting like a child somehow made her smile.
It was clear that this man was definitely not among the elite judging by the actions and luggage he was carrying. But love was blind, at least that's what Susan believed. She didn't judge people by how much wealth they have. Maybe this person had stolen her young lady's heart thanks to his sincerity or something. Therefore, she shouldn't look down on or treat this person differently.
After paying attention for a while, Susan said, "Excuse me sir, it is already noon and soon it's time to eat. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll cook whatever you want."
After hearing the word eat, Ryan's ears moved and his head immediately turned. Even though he looked shy, Ryan finally said, "Hmmm Miss Susan, this may be our first meeting but in the future we will live together and I don't see you as a messenger or servant but as a family. Don't be too polite when talking to me. For lunch, can you make me pottage? I really like meat and pottage is my favorite food."
If Irina had heard these words she would nag Susan for a long time. Living together? He was coming out in 3 months, how could he say as if he were going to stay here forever!
But hearing Ryan's words slightly moved Susan's heart. A smile immediately rose on her face, "Okay, young Ryan, I understand. I'm going out to go shopping for a bit. So don't be too naughty and make trouble, okay?"
"Okay, ma'am, don't worry. And don't forget to buy a lot of meat, I'm very hungry and can spend 10 kg of rice at one time hahaha." Ryan replied.
Susan smiled at him again and immediately left. Ryan then moved to put his belongings in his new room.
After a while, he made sure there were no people around, then turned on the computer in his room.
After surfing the internet and making sure the channel was safe, Ryan entered an anonymous website that allowed him to chat or video call without being tracked. After that he called a user ID and after a while, the call was picked up.
However, he wasn't welcomed by anyone's face but a large forehead. As a man with taste, Ryan jolted back in surprise and scolded the woman. Not long after that, the scene turned into the figure of a beautiful blonde haired girl.
"Wow, my dear Ryan, you finally contacted me after a long time. Do you end up missing me after disappearing for a month?" This woman's voice was very cheerful and she spoke fluent English.
"Shhh Yasmin, can you lower your voice? I don't want your husband to hear that I've called you." Ryan replied with his English which was no less great.
"Hmmm your words just now sound ambiguous. Forget it, how are you, brother-in-law? Are you okay?"
"Brother-in-law? Don't kid yourself!"
Hearing Ryan's reply, Yasmin bursted out laughing. Ryan couldn't help but sigh.
"How could my brother marry you." He scoffed.
"Why do you sound like it was a bad thing? Are you sorry you can't be with me? Do you wanna know my sister? her name is Alice. She is young and single. You'll definitely like her."
"Did you hear yourself? How could you act like a pimp for your own sister like that? I really wonder why my brother The Tiger chose you as his partner."
"Well, he's actually not as strong as you. The person I really like is you. You know this, Ryan. From the night when you saved me, I realized that all this time I've been in love with you. Do you want me to divorce your brother so we can be together? Do you prefer backstreeting? I really want to be your lover and you become my man, surely our daily life will be filled with excitement." Yasmin said all these things with a begging eyes and pleading voice. She made a fake crying face, stomping her feet like a child throwing a tantrum, chuckling and blowing a kiss to the webcam.
"Huh? Which night? I just saved you from the killers, right? How could you take it that way?" Ryan was confused with her answer.
"Well, at least I'm trying anyway I know that my love for you is only one-sided, so there's no harm in trying. But seriously Ryan, my sister is very beautiful and she's still innocent. She has never been with a man before."
Hearing Yasmin's words made Ryan fantasize about strange things in his head. His imagination ran wild so that he could imagine what Yasmin's sister looked like.
"Please Yasmin, can we get serious a little? I really need your help." Worried that he might be busted, Ryan asked Yasmin to focus on their original conversation.
"Okay, okay, it turns out you don't just want to tell the news. Is there anything I can help sir?" Even though her words were a little joking, Yasmin's expression became more serious from the thought that maybe Ryan was in a dangerous state.
"I need potion X, my stock is running low. Can you send it from headquarters?"
Hearing this, Yasmin's face turned pale white and her gaze turned helpless.
