[English fanfic] Why RU BL-ing me once more?!

Chapter 13: The surprise from Great Britain

December 11th, 2019.

"Will you be willing to give me a little more favor?" Santiago said to Ae in Ae's house at 9 AM (GMT+7).

"No, you old freak. I refuse." Ae replied.

"You rejected me again?" Santiago's eyes widened.

Ae was determined to wait for Pete to return in spite of him not returning right now.

"Well, I'm afraid little Pichaya will be having a new love interest in German land. I overheard that he will move to Great Britain to study abroad aside from Germany. Beware of the other guys who are not in a bad mood in love yet they are infatuated with little Pichaya. Little peach boy is a magnet for men, and he is an attention attractor. You've done really well with keeping him in check." Santiago said.

"I didn't say that I was a control freak who stalked him time to time. I just feel like I'm his caregiver and love interest." Ae replied.

"Maybe you should grab some girls and date them. Or maybe you should catch up with some guys. Or you can just get me." Santiago's voice became more perverted.

"I said, positively no." Ae became more annoyed.

"Phew, whatever." Santiago became disheartened and left.

At the same time, Tin was brought to the United Kingdom by Edward Shylock. It was already 9 AM (GMT+7) in Thailand, while it was only 2 AM (GMT+0) in the UK. This meant that it was already midnight in Britain.

Edward had his own gathering of British Iscariot members who were hiding in human society. Unlike Edward, they hadn't received their powers to go fully undead yet, or it could be they had already taken those and decided to shut down to blend into humanity. They were a quartet of 19th century men who were turned into killers for Iscariot forces in 1891 in London. They were composed of Ruben Saint-Laurent 'Arsenic Laurent' the thief, Jasper Ricketts the artist and also the infamous legendary killer known as Jack the Ripper, William Wilson the photographer with reality-warping abilities and Sterling Hodges the detective who was a partner of William Wilson and who was infected with a curse transforming him into an undead monster version of himself.

"Hey Tin, you said you have spent a certain amount of time in UK?!" Edward asked Tin.

"I spent a part of my youth in England as an exchange student when I was a teenager. I went to London, and I knew the legends of Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and Arsene Lupin during my stay." Tin calmly replied.

"Can Kirakorn, do you love him? That bromance of yours is fascinating." Edward said.

"Actually we're in love with each other at least over a year ago from now. We're gay." Tin said with an affirmative tone.

"Based on the fact that you have been in UK for a certain of time, at least you have met Ruben Saint-Laurent, the Arsenic Gentleman Thief. This dude is the best conman playboy ever during the Victorian era, and a gentleman thief. But don't be fooled by his glamorous appearance. He's a master of card games and an expert escapist. You won't even catch him, unless you're as mysterious as Jack the Ripper. Here are his tell-tale signs to distinguish him: tall slender stature, hands wearing white gloves, always carries a long walking cane with a pointed tip, a long black collared cloak with red underside and a scarlet rose on the left breast, a white waistcoat and shirt, a golden-coated monocle worn over left eye, a black top hat. His human form wears these clothes and has these traits, but when he shifts his face into a phantom thief, he becomes a phantom literally. He still wears the very same clothes and has the very same appearance, but his monocle transforms into a golden mask covering the left half of his face save for the mouth and the right side of his face which turned translucently pale like the skin of a vampire. The mouth turns into a row of sharp fangs for biting, and his hands grew long nails. Aside from his usual walking cane, Saint-Laurent possesses freakish otherworldly powers such as shooting scarlet slimy ropes from his wrist tendons, teleporting in a red mist made of rose petals, flying with his cloak, hearing things from a far distance as far as distances between large oceans. When his mask is uncovered, the face beneath it is horribly disfigured with hideous marks looking like a mashup of deep wounds and peeled flesh. The rose on his breast can spray a red fume that smells very sweet, but it is the sweetness of deadly poison, so never get too close to him at all costs if you fight him in close quarters. Hence, that's why Ruben earns the title of Arsenic Gentleman Thief, or Arsenic Laurent in short." Edward explained to Tin.
