0062 Third Best Lackey
A dagger?
Evie stiffened.
“A dagger hung on top of his head?” she asked, and James’ head bobbed up and down.
“Yes. It was really strange. It appeared out of nowhere and it was just there on top of his head ready to fall anytime.”
Evie’s heart constricted. Based on the description, there was no mistaking that it was a type of Sword of Damocles. But she had to know more to be sure, although she already believed her guess by eighty percent.
“What’s stranger was that when he tried to return to the cabin, he could not step out of the area. When he tried to run back to his group, he always bounced back as if hitting an invisible wall. But his friends could move freely.”

“Boss, why do you look happy?” James complained. “We had a traumatic experience— that’s not funny.”The mandrill was acting so coquettishly again that Evie itched to whack him.“Continue with the story,” she growled, and as if scared to make her angry, her best lackey followed her orders.“Rich warned us not to go. He was holding me tight so I was not able to move and the guys stopped too because he was starting to panic. The other group went ahead and one of them got trapped. Rich kept saying there’s a wall and not to cross the wall or we’ll all die. In the end, before the guy who got trapped inside also went crazy and ran away, Rich screamed about monsters and the other guy was gone.”James let out a heavy sigh. “It was so spooky. Rich got so scared about the trip— shocked so we went home the next day. He told us not to go back or we’ll die.” Evie was silent for a while. Sure enough Rich could see the elementals. If she was not mistaken, he had seen the gate master as well, the re

The bell rang and as expected, the mandrill came to pick Evie up on time. In reality, she was the only one in her classroom and did nothing the whole day but eat snacks and read notes. She could have just gone to search for James herself. But she was too lazy to deal with the curious gazes of people who both did and did not recognize her.Those who did not recognize her looked at her because they wanted to know who she was. The kind ones wanted to be friendly, while the others looked down on her obviously as she was wearing the school uniform, indicating her “status” as a scholarship student. This was technically not the case, but most often than not, those from good families would try to flaunt their wealth by wearing expensive clothes and accessories to try to mix in and increase their network within the circle.In short, those snotty rich kids would not be caught wearing the uniform unless required. But the cue word was “snotty”. Surprisingly, those who were really part of the uppe

Evely… did that?Evie had no impression nor recollection of the mentioned event. She sighed heavily, realizing that more and more things were missing from her memory. It was frustrating. She now had a hunch that maybe, in that abyss where she inherited the kaleidoscope of memories, there was a series of recollections that she had missed.Or the fragments of memories were taken as payment for her rebirth just as Dr. Carl Jensen had suggested…Either way, at this point, instead of her worry worsening, she was feeling more like giving up on ever regaining the lost memories. She felt that she would have more trouble if she focused too much on those. If she did not really get them back after hoping and waiting so much, then that would have just wasted her time and feelings.What’s more important was what’s going on at present. If ever, she had returned to the time when Evely still did not mess up her life. The things she knew in the past might not be applicable in this lifetime anymore.Th
REBORN: Gemini 0066 Philosophical
“But it’s still not nice of them to talk about you and your family when they don’t know anything, right?”Evie was amused.“Yeah, it’s not nice. But so what? Can you stop people from talking? Even if you scold them one by one, who can guarantee that they will stop gossiping about you when you’re no longer in their presence?”Of course, James had nothing to say about it. After all, it’s the truth.“Why does she look like Uncle Francis, anyway? That’s weird, no? It’s easy for people to misunderstand,” he grumbled and Evie laughed at his naivete.She secretly flicked her hand towards the driver. It might appear as nothing to others, but she had plugged the man’s ears so he wouldn’t hear any of their conversation. Also, in the man’s eyes, she and James were not speaking at all but quietly sitting at the back. This would cost a lot of her energy, but she did not mind. It’s better than for others to hear them, she thought, before speaking to James.“Ever heard of plastic surgery?” she asked

Just like Hampton Hills, the houses in Emerald Gardens were varied. However, compared to Hampton Hills which only had three types of houses, there were more options of residences in Emerald Gardens, and the designs were more modern.At the front of the community, just inside the gate, there were two six-story buildings with the same design on each side of the street. These were the apartment complexes for smaller families, or single people who wanted to live in an exclusive subdivision. There were ten apartments on each floor, and the type of units ranged from studio type to five bedroom apartments. As for the houses, the owners were free to have the design they wanted as long as the outside color did not violate the regulations on aesthetics. So, it was safe to say that the houses in Emerald Gardens were not uniform, but each one was grand, simple, but beautiful. The residence of the Simmons family was only three streets away from the main gate. The residence was a modern light
REBORN: Gemini 0068 Witch Ancestor
“Not really,” James answered as he shook his head. “But we know where they are,” he added.“They’re from Altair University,” Richard supplied. “I heard they are sophomores. I just don’t know which department they are from.”University students?Evie bit her lower lip. It’s not that far from Altair City High School. She wondered if it’s possible to go there.“Why did you ask, boss? Do you want to see them?” James asked.“It’s not like I want to see them,” Evie began before sighing.She guessed she would just have to make Evely’s minions her own minions. There were still many things in this world that she was not really good at— geography for example. She had some memories, but it’s troublesome to go through the strands of recollections in her head all the time. Since these boys followed her anyway, then she could at least open up to them even just a bit.No, she would not really tell them about her celestial blood. But she would have to find an excuse that was more acceptable in this w
REBORN: Gemini 0069 Elementals
“Have you heard of her? My grandma said she was a famous witch hundreds of years ago,” Richard said, and Evie smiled and shook her head.She did not know any Dolya who was a witch. Although she did not believe that the ancestor he mentioned was indeed a witch. At least, if it’s the same Dolya she had in mind, then it’s really the Goddess of Fate, Evie thought. But, of course, there was no way for her to verify this, unless…Unless there’s an awakened or a transcendent among her descendants…But, looking at Richard, although he might be considered as an “awakened” in her world since he could see and sense the dark elementals, he was closer to normal humans than deity. His celestial blood was too little.How did she know? Simple, she tried to release a little bit of her celestial aura, but the boy remained clueless. She wanted to gauge his limit, but she was not powerful enough at the moment and it would be a waste of energy, and so Evie decided to forget about it. In any case, there’s
REBORN: Gemini 0070 Alive
“It means…”“It means that anyone who had contact with those guys can be infected in the future, and they in turn could also infect others. If left alone, we’ll have monsters swarming the city in months or years,” Evie completed their sentence, and the room fell into silence once more.“I will contact my cousin immediately,” Richard offered, and he took out his phone, excused himself, and left the room to make a call.Left alone, James continued to look contemplative. He remained silent, but his eyes were on Evie, studying her unabashedly. In this instance, Evie admitted that in spite of the colored hair, the scholarly aura he had in his blood and bones radiated from him.“Do you have questions?” she asked, knowing full well that he had tons of things he wanted to ask her.At least, that’s what his face told her— well, that plus logic. After all, she was totally unlike the Evely that they knew. The previous one would not care whether other people lived or died as long as it’s not in f
