At first, Jasmine only wanted to prank him in the form of a little scare, however, she soon discarded that idea and remained hidden inside the big closet. Bin"s banged the door violently before raising his hand and looking at the several photos while panting heavily from anger. You could even see his flushed face and deep frown indicating his current mood.His master also witnessed everything which is why she remained there, not knowing what to do in such a situation. He looked extremely infuriated, in fact, it"s the first time she"s seen him like this as he"s usually calm and collected and rarely breaks character.
"Motherf.u.c.kers!"
He dashed to a drawer which has a few of his personal belongings and searched for something but gave up after a few seconds as he remembered where he had left it. He clicked his tongue, shredded the photos then angrily stormed out of the room, leaving a confused and startled Jasmine behind.
Only after some time did she slowly leave the closet and tiptoed to the trash bin, where he had thrown the photos. Her curiosity got the better of her, she picked up the photos and looked at them but apart from some unknown black-clothed men, she didn"t notice anything anger-inducing.
"What"s up with him? Did something happen with mom?"
Jasmine speculated that he must have been fired so she directly headed to her mother"s office.
"What did you talk about with Bin?"
At this point, for some odd reason, Jasmine was sure that her mother fired Bin without her consent, which is the first time this has ever happened. Obviously, the young girl wasn"t exactly pleased but she didn"t dare lash out at her mother and instead spoke with a calm voice.
"Hm? What?"
The absent-minded Angelica turned her head toward her daughter and frowned.
"Bin was really angry… did you fire him?"
Hearing this, her mother shook her head and answered: "No, why would I fire him? He"s your employee and you seem to be getting along with him."
"Then why did he act like that?"
"Act like what?"
"He… never mind."
She couldn"t say that Bin vulgarly cursed in front of her while she was hiding in a closet so, in the end, she left as quickly as she arrived.
Angelica glanced at the distorting air next to her and said:
"Where did he go?"
"He just left the manor, master."
"Follow him and only interfere when necessary. This is a good opportunity to learn a bit more about him."
*****
Five minutes ago, right after Bin left his room, he first went to his master"s room, where Mina was peacefully sleeping. Although he really didn"t want to wake her up, he urgently needed to speak with her.
The little girl lazily rubbed her eyes while slowly sitting up.
"Big.. Brother."
She was half-asleep but Bin softly shook her body, causing her to sober up just a bit. She raised her pet.i.te and looked at Bin, whose expression was different than usual.
"Listen to me, Mina."
"Nhn?"
"You still remember what I always told you, right?"
"… what?" The girl didn"t quite understand him as she dropped her hand and stared back at him.
"Do you?"
After a couple of seconds, Mina mumbled something incoherently then clearly stated: "about the crystal?"
Her voice was shaky as she stretched her palm, which glowed with a pulsating light before a beautiful blue crystal came out of her skin.
"Yes." Seriously replied Bin, his expression grim. "I don"t need to repeat the same thing again, right?"
In response, Mina weakly nodded her head before hugging him tightly and refusing to let go even after a minute pa.s.sed.
Bin pushed her away and softly caressed her head: "I"ll go get rid of the bad guys, "kay?"
His voice was as gentle as it could be as he got up and left the room right after. All the sleepiness disappeared from Mina"s eyes as she curled into a ball and prayed for her brother"s safe return.
It has been a long time since they have been chased so, just like Bin, she thought that everything ended, however, the look on his face clearly indicated otherwise.
…
Bin"s nails dug deep into his palms as his tempestuous mind was thinking about countless things.
"How did they find me? Why now of all times?"
The last time they chased after him was when the orphanage was burned down but here they appear so suddenly and in untimely manner. Just when he thought life would proceed as usual and he would gather some money before his death, they reveal themselves. The problem wasn"t himself but Mina, which is definitely their primary target.
They are aware that if he"s captured, his little sister will show herself too, after all, their close relationship is known to those people. Bin reacted so fiercely to the photos because he knew how grave the situation actually is. Since they know where he lives, it shouldn"t take long to track him to Jasmine"s manor and they have more than enough man power to overpower even the invisible woman.
He was grateful for his master and her family but he truly didn"t want to implicate them hence his swift departure. With Galen gone, there was only one person who"d be willing to lend a help in exchange for something.
"h.e.l.lo?"
A feminine young voice originated from the phone on his hand. Bin cleared his mind before speaking:
"Can we meet now? I"ve thought about your deal."
The person on the other end of the call was none other than Melissa, Jasmine"s friend. She was a ruthless person and although he disliked her, her a.s.sistance can be of utmost importance as he needs to strike the enemies before they find him.
