Chapter 69 A Predator!?

After pondering for a while, Bobby muttered under his breath, "Whatever, I can still decide whichever one to choose later on."

Then he checked the remaining scrolls inside the safe first and then to the scrolls of the other six sections. In contrast to the Deluxe section, the other six sections each contained over 500 scrolls, but it was lucky that he only had to glance at them once before he memorized them all.

He finally finished reading after several hours. Then the two came out to the library hall.

Diana folded her hand around his arm and asked coquettishly. "What do you think? Did you pick a cultivation technique for me?" Then they sat on the luxurious sofa she has recently moved into the library hall.

"Hmm, let me think." Bobby pondered inside his mind and considered a technique that could cope with her tri-elementals; wind elemental, earth elemental, and fire elemental. After several minutes, he opened his mouth. "Diana, I think all the cultivation techniques seem kinda crude and none of them will be good for you, as each of them is for only one elemental nature." He then caressed her face and further added, "But don't worry, darling. Give me a week at the top. I'll make a brand new technique which would be very suitable for you. But during this time, I need those real Chinese ancient texts that the archaeologists excavated. And I believe you can somehow get your hand on those. Can you do that for me?"

"Really. Hahaha…" Diana was overjoyed hearing him say that. "Consider that done. I just need to make a call and it'll be all done. Alright, Bobby, it's pretty late. Why don't you stay here tonight?" she asked, smiling sweetly.

Bobby replied. "Hey, I'm staying here tonight even if you ask me to leave." Diana was elated, thinking he would spend tonight with her. But his next words completely ruined the sweet imagination in her mind. "Can you please help me with books here?"

"Hah! You still want to read more books here." Diana asked, glancing at him grimly.

"Hey, don't give me that look. I'm a bookworm, as you already know. But if you don't want to be here, go ahead. But I'll spend tonight inside the library hall all alone." Bobby smiled slyly.

"Hah! Fine, I'll help with the books here. But don't you feel kind of tired?" Diana asked as she caved into him, ruining the romantic moment she imagined she was going to share with him tonight. Following this, they began another long session inside the library, with Bobby reading and Diana bringing books to him and then returning them to the shelves after he had finished them.

Meanwhile, Director Kemino was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor in the middle of the martial hall of the castle while waiting for Jeremy to return. In the past few hours, he had been remembering the Hunter skills that were unlocked not too long ago. Then, suddenly, Jeremy appeared just before him, as well as sitting over a cushion on the floor.

And Kemino opened his eyes and saw the thunderstruck appearance of Jeremy. "Sir, is there anything wrong with my pupil?" And he wondered. "What did Bobby Bradford do to make a monster like him to even make this perplex?" This made him even more curious, but the moment Jeremy's mouth was about to open, he was ready for any surprise that was about to unfold.

"Hmm!" Jeremy took a long breath and began to narrate from the very beginning until the part Bobby and Diana came out of the secret compartment.

Kemino was perplexed from time to time, making faces he thought he'd never made before for the last 77 years of his life. "So, senior Jeremy, what do you think he is exactly; a Hun- sorry… a Protector, or a Vampire or something…?" he asked.

Jeremy replied, brooding deeply. "For all I know, he is not exactly a vampire. All this long life, I only saw vampires and werewolves feeding on human blood. Not the other way around. Clearly, he is a human just before he fed on Diana's blood. I can only sense a seraphic presence emitted by him just as he was about to bite on her neck." After pausing for a while, he continued, "Then the next moment, he is a vampire again. So this means he is not a vampire at all. One important thing I can give you is, he is definitely a Protector. Even now I can feel the faint sense of my family's bloodline from him."

Director Kemino added his viewpoint. "Then this means he is something… um… what can I put this? Right, a Predator who is in the food chain above vampires."

"Mm-hmm! Maybe or maybe not. But as his Sensei, I think you can figure this out soon. I'll also continue looking in my own way. You continue yours." Jeremy remembered what he had seen and smiled as he continued. "Hee-hee-hee, what made me even more mesmerized is that both of them can gather Origin Chi in their body. For us the members of the Six olden, this is not possible at all. But those two kids can somehow do it. And they are even planning to keep it a secret from everyone."

"That must be Bobby's handy work, I guess," Kemino said, as he knew well how good Bobby was in academics, especially in experimentation. "This is really a piece of good news for us, sir. They are the first-ever among us to even store Origin Chi inside their bodies. Even someone like me who has made blood contact also can't store Origin Chi. This means the boy has already curbed a remarkable path for us."

"Which also means more work for me? Listen kiddo, if this is heard by any other members of the Six Olden family, it might cause disruption in the power balance and may cause severe civil war once again. So, let's keep it a secret, not even to the members of my Protector family, okay? And I'll take care of any loose end." Jeremy said earnestly.
