Chapter 1 – Crossed Over
"Young master. Young master. It's time to get up for breakfast."
An aged but very stern voice rang next to Zhao Hai's ears. He paid it no mind. He only felt that his head was hurting incredibly. He assumed that he didn't turn off his computer and a drama within was having its lines voiced.
But then the voice continued, "Young master, time to wake up. As a noble, getting up in time is a good habit."
Zhao Hai's mind went blank for an instant, because this voice didn't seem to have come from the computer. It was as if it came to the side of his ear very realistically. It was definitely not coming from that broken speaker box of his.
Although his head was hurting, Zhao Hai still forced his own eyes to open. What entered his eyes wasn't his home's white ceiling tiles, but a muslin curtain. Zhao Hai stared, and then turned his head to discover that he was lying on a large wooden bed. A 50 year old man whose grey and pale hair was combed neatly without disorder, was standing next to the bed. His expression was stern as he looked at Zhao Hai silently.
Zhao Hai looked blankly at this stern faced old man, and then adjusted his sight to look around. This was a very simple house made of stones. Other than the large bed which he was laying on, there were only a desk and a chair as furniture. The floor and walls seemed to have just been cleaned. The windows had wooden panes with a layer of white paper. Above his head was a shining stone for illumination. The whole house did not have anything else.
Now that old man spoke again, "Young master, please get up if possible if you're fine already. As a noble, you should have a rhythmic life. Now is time for breakfast, so please wake up."
Zhao Hai turned his eyes towards the old man, and his mind flashed a thought, 'Crossed over!', and he felt his brain experiencing a pang of extreme pain, then fainted in the next instant.
Greene Buda went slightly still when he saw Zhao Hai faint before hurrying outside. 4 people standing outside the house. 2 males and 2 females. The 2 males were young in age, whose looks should be around teenage years, yet their heights were just under 2 metres with bodies full of muscles like forged iron. Blackened skin and short hair, the two had identical looks. They were actually twins, but their expressions were a little dumb.
As for the two females, one had a greater age, probably more than 40 years old, bearing a plump figure. A head of blue hair and benevolent looking brows and eyes, now her expression was full of anxiousness. The younger girl was only 16 or 17 years old this day, yet her hair was long and green. Her egg shaped face and petite figure with smooth white skin made her a rare material of beauty. Now she was lowering her head with a stupefied expression.
Upon seeing Greene coming out, the older woman asked immediately, "How is it, Greene? Is young master awake?"
Greene nodded and then shook his head, "He woke up, but he fainted again after that. Was your magic ineffective, Maylin? Or was it those medicines? Someone did something with the medicines?"
Maylin spoke with a cold expression, "If so, then I'm gonna tear them apart myself. Even though young master was a bit of a bastard, he is the last bloodline of Buda family. Those empire bastards, have they forgotten how much old master did for the empire? Those ungrateful bastards."
Greene spoke sternly, "You should go in there and look. If it doesn't work then apply water magic treatment on young master. No matter what, we must preserve the last of Buda family bloodline."
Maylin nodded, but then looked at Green ferociously, "If young master gets well, don't order him around according to those nobles. We're already here in this damn place. What noble etiquette, let 'em all meet their makers. Seeing those ugly faces of those nobles disgusts me with sheer thought."
