As the current overlord in China, Lin Family, one of the four renowned families, the news of his family's sickness spread all over the world. It is also the reason why Lin Fan, a fifteen-year-old boy, manages the house with the help of his trusted aides.Lin Fan himself never felt ashamed of the leaked information. Instead, he hopes someone out there could be willing to help him find a cure. Until today, there has been no indication that their family has opened their eyes.
However, years passed by, and from the many people who tried to help him, they hid a sinister desire behind their smiling facade.
Dozens, hundredth, or even thousands are willing to help him and sickeningly ask him for some compensation because of their effort in trying to save his family.
Those vile and sinister people kept exploiting his once pure-hearted feelings until he had enough and saw the world in only black and grey colour, not wanting to believe everyone except the one within his family.
Thanks to his loyal subordinates, the Lin Family still hold up to its prestigious name; however, recently, it was pushed back to the lowest among the four.
Lin Family was the one who always upheld the highest authority among all the other families, followed by Xiao, Wang and lastly Jiang. There is no definite reason as to why the Lin family only had more legacy than the other; it's all because they were the first family to establish their own empire within a country.
At one time, when he is stuck, and in the brink of collapse. Lin Fan is approached by a man named Damian, who has still contacted him recently, telling him about the method of curing his family.
Lin Fan was filled with doubt ever since he first approached months ago. As first promised, they found a clue about the secret the Lin Family held that they were Martial Saint descendants.
With the first agreement they made, Lin Fan felt a bit of relief, for they could prove their promise true, unlike the people who kept exploiting on him. But, something still keeping him from accepting the matter about his family.
Then, weeks ago, Damian once again contacted him, giving him some sample and to his dismay, he almost accepted his condition until the incident happened within the Academy.
For the first time in his life, Lin Fan feel so grateful to follow his heart at once, delaying the business he had with Damian. Also, that time he found out the people who approached him was none other a Demon, which his ancestors harbor deep grudges for millennia.
Lin Fan looked up at the rainbow liquid in his hands, hidden under the cover of his palm. The liquid was stagnant, and it didn't feel as grandiose as the name implies: the elixirs. A legendary potion that can cure every sickness and could bring a person to the brink of death.
At first, he felt sceptical about it, but when he tried to open it, his nose caught a miracle scent that soothed his heart, giving all of his being relief by a miracle it caused. Just by smelling it, Lin Fan could feel internal bleeding; he had healed, and he felt his mind refreshed to its normal state.
"What was on his mind anyway. I couldn't comprehend it at all". Lin fan muttered while storing the thing away. "Is he trying to exploit me later. ...No, that seem impossible!".
He doesn't know how to handle it, and why does Soma willingly give the thing to him for Lin Fan only to translate the vague Breathing technique that could not be learned?
All of his thoughts shattered as Soma not only mastered the technique better than him but the way he handled Martial Arts was way above him, who hailed as a prodigy and as a Martial Saint descendant.
Feeling a sudden emptiness in his heart, Lin Fan fixes his sitting position; he straightens his posture, crossing his feet and tucked inside. Lin Fan shut his eyes and began to immerse himself in his training.
However, his swirling thoughts kept distracting him, so he halted for a moment and felt a pair of eyes watching his movement.
Lin Fan lifted his gaze and met his eyes with Wang Jian, his childhood friend who swore to become brother, and currently, their relationship was fickle.
Wang Jian, his refreshing appearance, walked calmly approaching Lin Fan's side. With every step he took, tension appeared within his handsome face, and he was afraid that he would be rejected again by Lin Fan.
"Brother Lin".
Watching the hesitation in his pair of clear eyes, Lin Fan sighed and loosened the tension in his body, dismissed the mindset of training and focused on the boy once he called his brother sincerely.
"...What is the matter?".
Lin Fan almost reflexively called him brother Wang just like in old times, but apparently, his foolish consciousness was still holding him back. He never realized when it started, but it sure displeased him. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
A hint of fury escapes his grasp, and it is noticed by Wang Jian, who halted his steps, gasped and sighed helplessly. Without any other way, he stood still in the place, basking under the warm rays of the sun.
Silent hung on the field as a sudden strong breeze crashed both of them, letting their uniform and hairs sway around, deepening the hesitation within one's heart.
Realizing that things must not continue this way, Wang Jian closed his eyes, inhaled deeply to reinforce his heart, and slowly opened his eyes open and spoke.
"It's been a while we have a time like this".
"...".
"Do you mind to have a chat with me right now?".
"...Yeah, lets".

Inside a quiet and lonely room where only the sound of a pen scribbling a paper echoed, the air was dry and subtle, filled with a tangy odour of ink, and the smell of calming paper enveloped a charming girl with blond wavy hair that reached her back.
It's been hours, and she keeps battling the documents that keep piling up, not showing any sign of dwindling. After filling in the important details, she double-checked it before placing it on her left side on top of the other finished papers.
She began to resume her activity, but the ticking sound of the watch inside the room slightly distracted her mind until she sighed in resignation and leaned her back toward the chair.
"Aaah, this thing is never end~!".
For the first time since she became active as a student council president, she has been grumbling. Of course, that is her right, for she is the only one who has worked despite the absence of the other. However, as much as she is annoyed by the situation, she is the one who decides to stay under this pile of work while the other is enjoying the festivals so much.
Also, one other thing that greatly distracted her mind was the call she had earlier with Serafina, telling her to have some fun with the boy in his heart.
"Ugh, Sera, I hate you!".
A slight blush appeared on her cheeks as she recalled the picture of a kind boy who gave her a sense of security. Her heart suddenly beat uncontrollably while her hand unconsciously reached for her phone and searched for his number.
After swiping the display several times, she finally found the number, and her face loosened, letting out a giggle that could topple every male heart who saw her.
Slowly, her thumb desired to press it; her thumb was only a centimetre away, but it refused to move despite her struggle. This is as if her ego is telling her to continue the work she has taken to herself.
"Aaaah, No, Lucy you must not!".
However, to her surprise, her phone vibrated, which made her body jolted from her seat, creating a clattering sound as it pushed back.
Her heart leapt once more, knowing the name that displayed; mixed between happiness and shock, she paced forth and backwards, struggling with which choice she should pick.
After many considerations, Lucy gulped her saliva and then decided to answer the call and put the speaker near her right ear.
"Hello?".
{Hi, good morning president, where are you right now?}
Leon's calming voice put Lucy's heart at ease; she clenched her uniform chest and tried her best not to be too obvious about her cheerful mood.
"...Good morning, Leon. I was in the student council office thought, why?".
{...}
A moment of silence happened, and Lucy's mood took a nosedive, feeling fearful that she had made a mistake. With a slightly stammered voice, she opened her mouth.
"...Wha-what is the matter, Leon?".
{Ah, nothing. Student council office, right? Okay, see you there!}
"Eh, what do you mean? ...He cut the call".
After the call ended, Lucy's heart began to race wildly as heat began to gather on her face. She felt dizzy and slightly feverish, and her heart was bursting with so much joy that she grinned with a slovenly face.
"...Ehehe, is he going to come here?".
Lucy jumped off onto the seat, and it let her body slide by the tyre beneath; she put strength on her feet, letting her body spin in place while staring at the ceiling with a face full of bliss.
Time passed, and eventually, as she kept fooling around with the seat, the door in the room clicked open, which alerted Lucy. She hurriedly fixes her manner and pretends to hold a pen facing a paper.
With a soft creaking sound it made, Lucy's heart kept beating. Then, a kind and charming face poked ahead with a smile, giving her body a rush of adrenaline and excitement.
"Leon, you came, huh?".
As Leon shows himself, there are two other females following him as he enters the place, which crushes Lucy's excitement in a second.
"Yes, we are here!".
