Vivian had brought him to her office along with Selena. Her expression was dark as Vivian asked in a cold tone. “So, care to explain to me why you would put yourself in such a danger?”
“I was never in danger.” Nathan shook his head.
“What if they have a curse or space ability? They could easily abduct you!”
“Not really. Do you really not know about her ability?” Nathan obviously implied about Evelyn’s existence. She should have known her.
But that was just a trap from Vivian.
“You really love to shoot yourself in the foot.” Vivian grinned. “Got you, my damned disciple!”
“!!!” Nathan suddenly felt chills down his spine as he couldn’t help but glance to the side. Selena was glaring at him with killing intent.
“Her? Who is she? No. I don’t care who she is. I just need you to answer this one question. Do you have any interest in her?”
Nathan gulped down.
“You are going to sleep on the sofa for a week.”
“Ugh.” Nathan scratched the back of his head.
“I will leave your punishment this time to Selena.” Vivian sighed. “However, your action has to be rewarded. You have been doing all kinds of important things, so I have to ask. Do you have anything you want?”
Nathan thought for a moment. “I think I want to take it leisurely for a bit. I want to focus on increasing my Ena since I still have a few thousand cores to swallow.”
“Hmm.” Vivian thought of something. “In that case, how about going on a vacation?”
“A vacation?!” Nathan raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah. There should be some easy missions in Meyes City. I have a villa over there. Since it’s summer, why don’t you take it easy on the beach?”
“Oh?!” Nathan considered the idea carefully. It was indeed a good thing. However, based on his luck, he believed there would be something occurring on the mission. There was no need for anyone to jinx it. He just knew it based on his experience.
Still, the benefits he got from this mission would be enjoying a certain ‘sight.’ In that instant, the scale in his mind completely tipped to the other side.
‘Screw it.’ Nathan asked, “Are you going there as well, Master?”
“Depends on how long you’re going to stay there. Actually, I’m planning to use that location to summon the Fairy Queen. That’s why I have to prepare a few things there. If you’re going there for two weeks, I suppose I can go there for the last two or three days.”
“Oh!” Nathan nodded. “Alright. I will go there. It should be a good time to take a proper rest.”
Vivian waved her hand. “I will notify the servants and tell them you will visit that place in four days.”
“Got it.”
Vivian then turned to Selena and gave her a thumbs up. “Don’t forget to punish him miserably. He’s gone too far this time.”
Selena nodded with a solemn expression, as if assuring her that Nathan wouldn’t dare to do it again.
Nathan gulped down, thinking his life was over. However, he might have been mistaken.
Once they returned to the room, Selena indeed banned him from going into the bedroom. However, he ended up lying on Selena’s lap on the sofa.
“Ehm. Is this the punishment? Or is this a reward?” Nathan smiled wryly. He was somehow scared that this sweetness was just a hidden poison.
Selena shook her head. “You don’t have to worry. This is a reward.”
“Oh! As expected of Selena!” Nathan’s eyes brightened. He never thought Selena would side with him.
However, Selena added, “As for the punishment, you are not allowed to touch me or Risa for seven days. Of course, I’ll be monitoring you so that you don’t do the same thing to other women. Well, that can wait until we’re back from the vacation.”
“What? How can you do that? I thought you were going—!”

Selena shook her head. “It’s my obligation to reward you. You have done everything you can in this incident and even solved it. Besides, I’m also grateful for your help. I haven’t received any responses from the Ashton family, but I don’t think they’re going to admit it.
“Still, their reputation will definitely take a tremendous hit, which will weaken them. I can breathe freely for the next couple of months and start building up my own connections to go against them.
“That’s why I want to thank you for this chance.” Selena smiled. “However, reward is reward. Punishment is punishment. I will still give you the punishment you deserve.”
“I don’t understand. If we consider the result, I have done a good job, right?” Nathan asked. “Why do you even need to punish me? Like, I’m sorry if I make you worry, but I’m fine like this, no?”
Selena flicked Nathan’s forehead. “You are lacking common sense. If there is a criminal who has murdered people and served his sentences in prison and turned into a new leaf. Will his crime go away? Will doing good deeds offset his sins?
“Sins are sins, good deeds are good deeds. If I meet such a criminal, I will definitely take him to prison. However, I will still praise the criminal, who later becomes a good person. So, your punishment will remain, but it won’t stop me from giving you a reward.”
Nathan was stunned. It seemed his view had been distorted by Anubis’ scale as well as his experience in the previous life.
“Right?” Nathan smiled wryly. “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“I’m still angry, but…” Selena gently brushed the hair on her shoulder while lowering her head.
She planted a kiss on Nathan’s lips while giving him a small smile, but contained her sincere feeling. Her eyes were a bit watery because of joy.
“Nathan. Thank you.”
Just that smile alone captivated him, but her action was much bolder by the day. Nathan felt like all the trouble was worth it. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
He couldn’t help but ask, still mesmerized by her smile. “Let’s go on a date tomorrow.”
“Sure. Let’s go.”
