Vivian had brought him to her office along with Selena. Her expression was dark as Vivian asked in a cold tone. "So, care to explain to me why you would put yourself in such a danger?"
"I was never in danger." Nathan shook his head.
"What if they have a curse or space ability? They could easily abduct you!"
"Not really. Do you really not know about her ability?" Nathan obviously implied about Evelyn's existence. She should have known her.
But that was just a trap from Vivian.
"You really love to shoot yourself in the foot." Vivian grinned. "Got you, my damned disciple!"
"!!!" Nathan suddenly felt chills down his spine as he couldn't help but glance to the side. Selena was glaring at him with killing intent.
"Her? Who is she? No. I don't care who she is. I just need you to answer this one question. Do you have any interest in her?"
Nathan gulped down.
"You are going to sleep on the sofa for a week."
"Ugh." Nathan scratched the back of his head.
"I will leave your punishment this time to Selena." Vivian sighed. "However, your action has to be rewarded. You have been doing all kinds of important things, so I have to ask. Do you have anything you want?"
Nathan thought for a moment. "I think I want to take it leisurely for a bit. I want to focus on increasing my Ena since I still have a few thousand cores to swallow."
"Hmm." Vivian thought of something. "In that case, how about going on a vacation?"
"A vacation?!" Nathan raised his eyebrows.
"What? How can you do that? I thought you were going—!"

Selena shook her head. "It's my obligation to reward you. You have done everything you can in this incident and even solved it. Besides, I'm also grateful for your help. I haven't received any responses from the Ashton family, but I don't think they're going to admit it.
"Still, their reputation will definitely take a tremendous hit, which will weaken them. I can breathe freely for the next couple of months and start building up my own connections to go against them.
"That's why I want to thank you for this chance." Selena smiled. "However, reward is reward. Punishment is punishment. I will still give you the punishment you deserve."
"I don't understand. If we consider the result, I have done a good job, right?" Nathan asked. "Why do you even need to punish me? Like, I'm sorry if I make you worry, but I'm fine like this, no?"
Selena flicked Nathan's forehead. "You are lacking common sense. If there is a criminal who has murdered people and served his sentences in prison and turned into a new leaf. Will his crime go away? Will doing good deeds offset his sins?
"Sins are sins, good deeds are good deeds. If I meet such a criminal, I will definitely take him to prison. However, I will still praise the criminal, who later becomes a good person. So, your punishment will remain, but it won't stop me from giving you a reward."
Nathan was stunned. It seemed his view had been distorted by Anubis' scale as well as his experience in the previous life.
"Right?" Nathan smiled wryly. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I'm still angry, but..." Selena gently brushed the hair on her shoulder while lowering her head.
She planted a kiss on Nathan's lips while giving him a small smile, but contained her sincere feeling. Her eyes were a bit watery because of joy.
"Nathan. Thank you."
Just that smile alone captivated him, but her action was much bolder by the day. Nathan felt like all the trouble was worth it.
He couldn't help but ask, still mesmerized by her smile. "Let's go on a date tomorrow."
"Sure. Let's go."
