679 Let me introduce~
"Kyle, Maya, let me introduce~ This is Sia and Sarah, my girlfriends."
"Anna, Richard, this is Sia and Sarah, my girlfriends."
"Tutor Seth, Mr. Gareth, this is Sia and Sarah, my girlfriends."
"…"
"…"
"…"
In the living room of their mansion, Varian sat on a large sofa with Sarah to his left and Sia to his far right.
In front of them were the holograms of Kyle, Maya, Anna, Richard, Seth, and Gareth seated across three different sofas.
Right after they said yes, Varian said he wanted to share the news and they ended up here.
Sia looked at Varian's big grin and shifted her head in embarrassment.
Sarah looked at Anna's concerned eyes and responded with an apologetic smile.
Still, they both glared at Varian.
After hearing yes, any boyfriend would kiss or something, what the hell was he doing?
…And this was so embarrassing! Wasn't he feeling any shame?
In response to Varian's words, the first one to speak out was Kyle. "Bro, are you flexing on me or what?"
"Heh." Varian simply smirked. "I'm so happy that I couldn't wait to share it with you. Didn't you say I'll remain single for life? See what happened?"
Kyle's lips twitched. The one thing he always flexed Varian on was his single status. Now that it was gone, what could he flex on?
'Hmmm?'
Kyle looked at Maya beside him and then, at Sarah and Sia in the hologram. His eyes lip up and he decided it was better to watch the world burn.
So, he hugged his petite girlfriend and said. "I'm the loyal man."
"…"
"…"
Sarah and Sia looked at Varian for an answer. 'What will you say? Hm? Mr. Shameless?'
"…I actually spend time with them and took them on a vacation," Varian smirked and turned to Maya with a sad face. "Poor Maya, her boyfriend spends all day in research and doesn't even know her favorite food."
Kyle opened his mouth in shock. What the fuck? The script shouldn't be like thi—
Sweating buckets, Kyle looked at the glaring Maya. "Baby, we too can go on a vacation. Let's just—"
"Hmph! What's my favorite food?" Maya asked with a chilling smile.
"Eh…Papaya milk? You drink that a lot, but seriously, it doesn't improve your brea—Ouch!" Kyle clutched the side of his stomach in confusion.
"Idiot! It's pasta! You don't even know that!" Her eyes turned misty.
Kyle froze at her teary face and suddenly snapped his fingers. "V-Vacation! Let's go and know each other deeply!"
"Hmph! You need to be reminded to take me for a vacation." Maya said in a low voice and turned her face away.
Kyle looked at Varian with accusing eyes. 'Bastard! Now, I'm fucked.'
Varian gave a thumbs up. 'Serves you right~'
Maya took a close look at Sia and Sarah. Her depressed expression vanished and she smiled. "I know Sarah already, so this is Sia…I hope you guys can be happy forever." She wished in a sincere tone.
Sarah and Sia smiled back. Compared to Varian's eccentric friend, they preferred this sweet-mannered girl.
The harmony was broken as Anna's hologram stepped forward and looked at Sarah with a concerned expression. "Um, young miss, are you okay with this?"
"…Yeah." Sarah glanced at Varian and Sia before nodding lightly.
Anna shot a glare at Varian. "But to share him even when you're the first girlfriend of this shameless, lecherous, perverted man's girlfriend…"
"Cough. Cough. Cough." Varian coughed pretentiously and looked at the merciless maid.
Even though it's been a while, her sharp tongue didn't change, eh.
If it was before, he would've stayed shut. But now…
"You should get into a relationship first before advising others," Varian advised with a kind smile.
"You!" Anna's eyes widened in shock.
Sarah covered her mouth in shock and Sia bent down, trying hard not to laugh. Kyle was busy coaxing Maya while the three men stared into the distance as if they found a stunning beauty passing by.
Pretending not to notice any of their reactions, Varian continued.
"…It's a bit too late since you're in your eighties, but you can do it!"
He even gave her a thumbs up.
How kind! How gracious! Varian praised himself inwardly.
In a mix of anger and embarrassment, Anna's face reddened like a ripe tomato. "I…I….Arghhh!"
In the end, she simply yelled and ran back to her seat. Like a deflated balloon, she collapsed on it. Even then, her fists were clenched as she continued to glare at
Varian.
This guy…
It's been a while since she met him.
But he really changed.
Hmph! But my iron tongue won't admit defeat!
"Virgin, virgin, virgin…"
"…"
Seth and Gareth gave Varian weird looks. 'Any problems?'
Gareth even made a gesture saying. 'I know a good medicine…'
'No. No. I don't need any. I'm perfectly fine.' Varian glared at Anna before shaking his head at Seth and Gareth and patting his chest to assure them.
'Oh!' Seth and Gareth sighed in relief.
'We were too busy before. It's inevi—'
"Excuse me, but what are those weird signs?" Sia asked with a suspicious gaze.
Varian's fingers froze in the air.
Gareth, and Seth looked at each other and coughed.
Varian joined their coughing and smiled at Sia. "It's just a code I learned in the training hall. Haha, old times. Catching up, you know?"
"No? It's extremely suspicious." Sia crossed her arms.
Cold sweat flowed from Varian's forehead and he gulped down his saliva, ready to throw Gareth and Seth under the bus.
It was then—
"Um, congratulations, first of all, young master." Richard, in his butler suit, gave him a polite bow.
Varian looked at Richard with gratitude. 'You are the best!'
Richard said with complicated emotion. "When he gave us the last instruction, Master…actually said this would happen."
Varian fell silent.
He turned to Sia with an apologetic gaze and turned to Richard. "Where is he?"
Seth and Gareth also perked their ears.
Disappearance of General Evander was too big of an event to ignore. It changed the balance of Earth's defense.
Even with Sovereign Julius trying his best, the status quo of Earth's planetoids was slowly being shifted.
Even though there won't be a big problem with level 9s, but level 8s and level 7s would face a huge problem.
It was a crisis brewing. Everyone was aware of it. But no one could stop it.
The only solution was for Evander to return.
"M-Master…" Richard lowered his head. "He told us to help you. And he said he's giving Sarah's responsibility to you. But he didn't tell us where he was going. We can't contact him anymore."
Sarah lowered her head and closed her eyes in pain. Father…where did he go? Did he do something…
Varian held Sarah's hand and patted her back.
He sent a message to Boo and the next second, except for Sia and Sarah, the rest shifted to the ghost ship's meeting hall.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Varian glanced at Kyle and Maya who nodded and disappeared. In their place, a voluptuous woman with a blue mask appeared.
Blue Flash.
"Heh. Congrats, Varian~" She said in a teasing voice.
"Hm." Varian nodded lightly. Since they were in the ghost ship, it was a serious discussion.
"What's the situation?"
