Arc 1:4 Caring for the blackened CEO

In the dark and mysterious room there was a man sitting in a broken chair where its hands was tied tightly with no chance of giving that the man could still escape.

They are in a place that most people do not go to, especially when it is just an ordinary person that will pee if ever that person saw such a frightening scene. If so, why did a little girl come here and most of all, it was the night that she found him there, covered in blood with a hazy or blurred gaze? He then remembered its suspicious answers to him when he asked the little girl last week after he felt that he really could not keep this confusion to himself anymore.

'I like to travel and discover many kinds of adventure so I only go out at night Big Brother Xyrelle. I'm quite brave, aren't I?' She said those words in those sweet and soft voice and energetic at the end of the sentence, making the gradually cold heart because of the past events that happened to him these past few days feel itchy and warm and also felt familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

He really cannot comprehend this thing that's happening to him after meeting the little girl that was innocently standing in front of him that makes him mad at the same time as he badly wanted to know the reason behind this matter.

It was making him mad and crazy like for hell! For once, he encountered a thing that can make him helpless to the point his dull black dragon eyes was in haze but,

His stern voice unconsciously softened, his thick sword-like eyebrows lowered lightly in a seductive arch as a charming voice escaped his thin lips, he was completely different at the little girl he declared his, secretly inside his heart, 'Your parents? Doesn't anyone care about you? Why do you go out late at night, when you are still young? ' After he said those words, a tinged of obvious worry attached to his lowered brows as the black dragon eyes flashed a glint of light.

'My parents are very, very busy every day, so they let me do whatever I want so I won't easily get bored and feel lonely all by myself. And also, I was just an adopted child, it will be a waste of their time if they put their free time on me instead of their biological children right?' she chuckled cutely at the end, but there is an unnoticeable hint of sadness that lingers on her tone, that even the male lead, Xyrelle didn't catch that a little bit of sadness that consumed Xiara for a brief moment before she was able to act normal once again, but the substitute system that was inside her head, monitoring her moves silently catch that terrible wave in Xiara heart.

'Host….' The substitute system wanted to talk but paused, he dragged on what it was supposed to say and in the end, didn't talk anymore as it saw that the host was not even paying attention to it a little bit.

'Well the host is lying again! The adopted parents of the original owner was very good to her when you still didn't occupy the original owner body, why do the host lie?' the cold and mechanical substitute system nagged for the first time in its life, living in this world.

Even he was shock that he actually nagged the host, before he got happy after successfully nagging the cold host host, the host cold light words instantly poured a water on its entire system.

'Acting and asking for sympathy' was only Xiara light answer to the questioning system without any guilty conscience about the parents of the original owner.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Sure enough, a notification bell rang inside Xiara head.

'Dip! Male lead Hostility rose to 95%. Strive to Blank (0%) the male lead host Host! Good Luck and Keep up the Good work Host!'

'...' okay,this system will really admire the host capacity in the future, the host almost make this system believe such a shit.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

'Substitute system 019, please refrain from saying bad words and stain the system reputation. You have a got a red tag served as a warning for you'

'...' better to keep this system mouth shut.

'Adopted? Why didn't I know that? ' Xyrelle confusedly asked back to Xiara.

Ara giggled in response, her eyes bent and turned into a crescent before she opened her lips and said, 'Of course because you didn't ask!' When she said this in a high pitched-tone she sighed a little under her breath while peeping at Xyrelle's handsome face.

She was coquettishly complaining and at the same time acted spoiled, it made people secretly feel cute in their heart and have a good impression of her at first sight.

'Truly fit into character' system 019 substitutes expressionless thought in its inner mind that only itself will hear. It calmly reminded the favour of the male lead to its unfeeling host.

'Dip! Male Lead Hostility rose to 90%. Strive to Blank (0%) the male lead hostility host. Good luck Host and Keep up the Good Work"But even so, our male protagonist is very hard to make a good impression even though Ara has already used half of her shame here.

Truly ... a match made in heaven, no doubt, this thought was true, it will bet a hundred destructive chips on it if it was not true.

The substitute system mentally laughed before opening the system shop discreetly and chose a popcorn to eat to replenish its energy and can still stand to watch this blackened male lead and its unfeeling hostess act very calmly and quietly get into their respective character personality.

'When would the story begin again?' Xiara suddenly asked the system in which the system nearly choked non-existent.

System 019 substitute consciously looked at the time when it was finally asked by its hostess for the first time. This system is not really to blame because only now has it actually received or even questioned her as the hostess when she started working as an intern.

'When the male lead will leave after he has completely recovered after recuperating, Host!' a cold polite and distant voice rang in Ara's head which was still unfamiliar to her. She quietly adapted to it after a few moments when she realized it was her system substitute.

'Oh? Is that so? ' a much colder voice resurfaced in Xiara's own head but it was aimed for the substitute system who answered her question a while ago.

This word always mediates between the two, because of the cold as if it were ice, they ignored it and didn't interfere anymore. Since its female hostess replied, it should also answer it calmly without any scruples, irritation and any feelings that could have made it not do the task given to him well.

'Yes Host!' it said in a high pitched mechanical tone as a response for its host.

'I see. You have worked hard' Xiara slightly curled her lips into a faint smile at Xyrelle's direction before saying those words in a cool and cold tone inside her head.

'...' the substitute system just chose not to speak anymore because of the tone used in his speech here. Ara took a look at her system substitute before retracting her gaze, indifferently. This mechanical thing is not worth her time to bicker in this cold war.

Not worth the Host time system: '...' abuse! The substitute of system 019 is really abused at every moment its temporary host had the chance to stab its inner sore spot.

It doesn't want to look or even talk to the host anymore.

It doesn't want to anymore!

After a while, the substitute system sighed, he inhaled and exhaled heavily and ended the cold war. He can still talk, the host was pretty lucky for having a patient system like him., humph!

Ara looked outside when she noticed how long she had been entertaining the guest in the guest room of the mansion under her name. Dark clouds will soon cover the lost sun. It created a beautiful view to watch of course, because the moon and the sun clash together when it is the time that will tick the clock that proves it is already evening.

Ara stood up and softly let go of her joy before facing the very important visitor to her mansion, as well as ... her life. The male lead in this world resembles her childhood friend so much that Xyrelle is second after her childhood friend.

"Rest early, Big Brother Xyrelle and we continue to recuperate your body tomorrow, in that way. You will be better sooner or later, okay?" she softly said and gently reminded him. It is like she is trying to coax a baby to sleep by her voice that is close to being a lullaby song.

Xyrelle dragon eyes squinted slightly, "Okay" in that way I ... Hmm, in what way is he going to do what he should do to the girl who saved him here.

"Then Brother Xyrelle is really obedient!" Heh, as if I believe in your ghost. Ara stood up and slightly patted her white long skirt before tucking the quilt to the half disabled male lead.

"Goodnight" she whispered softly when she saw that Xyrelle eyelids are slowly dropping. When she came out of the guestroom, she bid her goodbye and her goodnight for the last time. She knew that the starting of the plot was near so this is considered to be a last farewell for the two of them. No matter how cold hearted Ara is but she still got feelings for this target of hers, the breath around of this male lead got half of her childhood friend so she can't bear to be so ruthless when dealing with the male lead in the future.

When she disappeared and completely out of sight, Xyrelle half-closed eyelids instantly shut open. He stared at the door where the little girl walked on to leave this dull room in a daze. He snaps out of it later when he hears the ringing tone of his phone below on the pillow his head is lying on. He answered the phone without looking into it, because he knows who would dare to disturb him at this hour every time. He listened to the voice on the phone half-heartedly, but a moment later his handsome feature can be seen a visible frown, formed with his thick-like sword eyebrows.

"I will be back soon. Wait for me" that's all he said before hanging up the phone. He once stared at the door before mumbling goodnight in a daze.

"And farewell" we will be separated starting from tomorrow but I promise we will meet again, that I promised you, because in that time,

…. I am going to claim you

Of course, by that time… As if he thought of something pleasant, Xyrelle slightly curled up his thin lips as such unimaginable thoughts flashed through his mind,

‘If I cannot ever restrain you, I will just break your leg so you can’t escape or won’t try to ever escape’ he paused then his curled up lips slightly raised more brightly after his thoughts continued think, ‘Well yeah, when especially I got the urge that you were originally mine to begin with’

Then half a month past, without leaving any letter but just a declare of posession, the male god leaves to deal with something urgent before he completely gone in Xiara life as if his existence in her heart was just an illusion to begin with, if not for the fact that the male god was the male god of this novel world, Xiara really wanted to find someone and beat that person hard.

Well even though, just at the first thought, she was reluctant to do it so.
