Child of Destiny

……

Miss Bunny was humming pretty joyfully as she was packing her things from her desk. She seemed to be unaware of the downcast mood surrounding the office.

Unable to endure the atmosphere, one of Miss Bunny’s colleagues couldn’t help but ask. “Are you sure about this, Senior? I know Director Ji is a bit harsh and biased at times. But I think quitting is a bit-… too much, isn’t it?”

Miss Bunny suddenly laughed when she heard those words before saying. “I’m really fine, Julie. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“But Senior! What is going to happen to you now that you lose your job?” said the girl named Julie with a face full of worry.

Seeing that look on her colleague’s face, Miss Bunny suddenly stopped packing and said to Julie. “I know what you are worried about but as I said, there is no need for that. I still have quite a lot of savings, so I will be fine for the time being.”

“But what if you can’t find another job?” said Julie unconsciously as she stared at her senior with a knitted brow.

Hearing that, Miss Bunny suddenly chuckled before flicking Julie’s forehead with her finger. “Hah! Don’t you know who I am? I’m ‘VJ Miss Bunny’! I’m confident that there are a lot of entertainment companies out there that want me to work for them.”

“What’s more, I also have my Sky Channel. I am earning quite a lot from my blogs and reviews,” she added confidently.

Julie couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when she heard all of that. She knew that Miss Bunny was pretty famous in both the entertainment and gaming industries. And thinking about that made her feel ashamed of what she just said.

After that, she quickly cleared her throat before asking. “So, you are going to focus on managing your online channel and creating more content?”

“Maybe I am going to stream a little when I get some time,” answered Miss Bunny with a nod. And after a brief moment of pause, she quickly added. “And I may also work as a Fan Page Manager for my sideline job.”

Hearing that, Julie suddenly frowned her eyebrows before asking for another time to make sure that she didn’t hear wrong. “Fan Page Manager?”

Seeing the doubtful look that Julie had, Miss Bunny couldn’t help but flash a smile before asking. “Yeah, Fan Page Manager. Why? Is there something wrong with that?”

“Ah! Eh… No, there is nothing,” said Julie on the outside while also being a little skeptical inside. ‘Fan Page Manager? How can a Fan Page Manager compare to being a TV Personality? And is there even a Fan Site that is more famous than True Sight Industries?’

Naturally, Miss Bunny was able to read what was running inside Julie’s head given the current look that her colleague was making. But she chose not to comment on it and just laughed it off. Then she continued packing her things cheerfully.

In the meantime, Shin just walked out of their house as he was planning to breathe some fresh air and relax his mind.

But he just took a couple of steps from the door when Cloe suddenly came out running from the other neighboring house and sprinted towards him. “Hey, Shin! I am sorry but you really need to run away right now!”

Shin couldn’t help but knit his eyebrows as he couldn’t understand what she meant. And when Cloe saw that he was not even budging, she quickly sprinted at him and grabbed his arms. “Let’s go! Hurry! I can’t explain it right now but I will do it later. Okay?”

“Here she goes again,” muttered Shin as he refused to move even an inch. “Where do you want to go this time?”

He then paused for a moment to look at Cloe from head to toe before asking. “And what’s with the getup? Are you still dreaming or something? Are you sure that you want to walk in the neighborhood while wearing your pajamas?”

Hearing those words, Cloe finally came back to her senses before pushing Shin away and covering herself with her arms. “Ah! Kyaa! Don’t look! Don’t you dare look or else I will kill you!”

Regardless of her threats, Shin still dared to look at her. Though, the expression on his face was quite weird due to Cloe’s sudden change of mood.

Then he took off the sweatshirt that he was wearing and threw it at her. “I don’t know if you are still asleep or anything, but wear this at the very least.”

Now, Shin was currently wearing a sleeveless shirt, partially revealing his properly trained muscles. And when Cloe saw that, her ears suddenly turned red as quickly wore the sweatshirt that he gave to her.

Then her mood suddenly changed for another time as she remembered why she suddenly ran out of the house. “Come on, Shin! We really need to run away right now before Big Sis Shiella can kill you.”

“Big Sis?! What’s with big sis? And why did she want to kill me?” asked Shin with a deep frown as he currently couldn’t keep up with her.

But not long after, a sudden flash of thought entered his mind which made him look at Cloe with wide-opened eyes. “You-…! Did you-… just-…!?”

Seeing Shin acting like that, Cloe knew that he was able to figure out what she just did. Then she looked at him with an embarrassed smile while saying. “So-sorry~!”

“F*ck! So, that is why I have been feeling terrible since early in the morning,” muttered Shin with a twitching face.

While Shin was cursing inside, the expression on Cloe hardened all of a sudden as she covered her mouth with one of her hands while pointing behind Shin with the other. It was as if she had seen a ghost standing right behind Shin.

“Shin~! Kinghad~!”

Then Shin suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from his back, which also sent shivers on his entire body. He then quickly grabbed Cloe’s waist and jumped away from their current positions.

Bang!

And right after they dodged, powerful air currents suddenly flew past their previous location which also created an air vortex as it continued moving forward.

“Oh ho~! You dared to dodge now, huh?” said their ‘assailant’ while following Shin with her eyes.

A few distances away from their previous location, Shin quickly turned around and looked at the person who just attacked them right after his feet touched the ground. “Wait, Big Sis! I can explain! At least, hear me out!”

On the other hand, Shiella who was currently in her tracksuit looked at Shin with a skeptical look on her face before saying. “Is that so? Then how about let me hit you a couple of times before we talk about it. Don’t worry, I promise not to hit your face.”

Swoosh!

Then Shiella suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of Shin while throwing a powerful punch at him.

Seeing that, Shin quickly gritted his teeth and swiftly put his palms together while releasing his Mental Energy and creating a spherical barrier around him and Cloe, which also have some glowing runes on its surface.

Bang!

“Hoh~! Looks like you don’t only have the guts to trick me now, but you seem to also pick up some courage to stand against me, huh?” said Shiella after seeing the barrier that blocked her attack. ｂｅ𝚍𝚗ｏｖｅ𝚕．𝚗𝚎𝚝

“Nice timing! I am about to go on a workout somewhere, but it looks I no longer need to look for a good sparring partner,” she added before pulling back her fist and clenching it tightly while also gathering some of her personalized Natural Force on it.

“Sh*t!” cursed Shin when he saw that attack before gently pushing Cloe away and using his telekinesis to put her in safety.

After that, he suddenly moved his hands in a circular manner before stopping both of them in front of his chest. “Ha!”

Then the barrier surrounding him suddenly turned alongside the glowing runes on its surfaces, transforming the spherical barrier into a shining globe.

Boom!

Then an explosion suddenly exploded right after Shiella’s fist came in contact with Shin’s barrier. But despite the powerful collision between the two, there seemed to be no shockwave created from that clash.

‘The barrier absorbed all of the force? Interesting!’ thought Shiella as she looked at the dissipating barrier that surrounded Shin.

In the meantime, Shin was currently cursing inside his head. ‘Did she just blow that barrier up? That one is in the third level already! I guess she is really serious about beating me up half-dead.’

‘If that is the case, then I am really screwed!’ he added cursedly before setting up another defense. ‘Tsk! Whatever! I need to challenge her anyway because of that stupid old geezer’s task, so let’s focus on this fight right now.’

But before he could even set up another barrier, he was suddenly grabbed by Shiella before dragging him towards the backyard of their house. “We need to change our location first since I don’t want my front yard to be in a mess.”

Sigh~!

“I guess, I really need to give my all,” muttered Shin as he let himself get dragged.
