”So, you mind explaining to me What youʼre doing Benson?”

After I had opened the portal to my room, I was first surprised to see Benson here but the surprise soon turned into slight confusion and anger after seeing him holding my dear sister in a princess carry and seemingly being ready to jump out of the window.

”...Uh, Can I first ask how you can do that?”

”Do what Benson?”

Benson Gulped, the Alan Peccator he was facing right now was very angry.

Benson quickly concluded that it would be best to answer him right now without any lie.

”Well, after I saw the portal open up in the room, I thought a dungeon had opened and was ready to take young miss Samantha away to safety...”

Benson spoke with a somewhat horrified voice, He truly was scared of the expression Alan Peccator was showing right now.

Although there was a smile present on his face, his eyes screamed ʼIʼm gonna kill you.ʼ

Alanʼs Voice then sounded out.

”Oh? Well, mind telling me why you thought jumping out of the fu-Damn window was going to get her to safety?

Especially when she already has a weak body?”

Alan, who was about to include a curse in his sentence quickly stopped after seeing Samantha looking at him with a somewhat surprised face.

He didnʼt want his sister to adopt his shitty mouth.

ʼ...he was going to curse wasnʼt he...ʼ

Of course, this didnʼt bypass Benson.

He was still thinking about how to make this monster in front of him calm down.

After finally thinking for a good few seconds, he answered.

”Well, A portal suddenly opened in the middle of the room and it blocked the way to the door, and... I would have risked my life to ensure Samanthaʼs Safety!”

”Jumping from the 36th floor with a girl who has a fragile body sounded safe to you? Youʼre an awakened, not her.”

But Alas, his carefully thought response was immediately shot down by the Elder Brother.

He now had only one way out of the situation.

And that way was acquiring the help of the only person who could calm Alan Peccator down and even order him around.

And so, with pleading eyes, he looked at Samantha who was still in his arms.

ʼPlease save me!ʼ

That was the message his eyes conveyed.

And thankfully, Although she was still a child, Had undergone a lot and was already somewhat mature and understood the meaning behind his eyes.

And so, she finally spoke after knocking herself out of her stupor that was caused by seeing her brother come out of a gate of calamity(another name for dungeons.) in front of her very eyes.

”Al, this is your fault.”

Alan, who was looking at Benson with a murderous gaze, looked at his little sister with a gaze full of love that was devoid of the murderous gaze he gave Benson earlier.

*Tch*

”ah Yes! I should have thought this through! Sorry, Benson!”

ʼWhy did you click your tongue you siscon?!ʼ

After hearing Alan Click his tongue his thoughts began to wander to the point he considered if this teenager had a vendetta against him.

”Uncle Ben, Let me down please.”

Shaking him out of his thoughts was Samanthaʼs Voice.

Hearing her request, he obliged and went over to the sofa to lay the girl down, Of course after he was done he quickly went behind her to ward off any attempt of someone lunging at him!

Alan looked at Benson with an ominous glint in his eyes for a few seconds.

However, After that, he put on the widest smile he could muster on his face and said in a loud and happy voice.

”Happy Birthday Sam!”

It was confusing for Benson, who had only seen The ʼColdʼ Alan Peccator.

Yes, he knew he was a siscon but to have such a vast difference between your personality when dealing with other people versus his sister.

But then again, He had to remind himself that those two had been there for each other ever since their parents died.

ʼThat reminds me, Doesnʼt Alan have grandparents?ʼ

He thought with a slightly quizzical look present on his face.

Benson and the entire guild had researched their new prodigyʼs information as soon as they could.

From it, they found out that he still had Grandparents from his Mothers Side alive and well.

But that information just raised another question for them.

ʼWhy did he reject their help when they were even willing to take the brother-sister duo in?ʼ

It was confusing, to say the least, that a ten-year-old child along with his then disabled sister should have been taken into custody by any remaining family member they had left, yet Alan had denied his grandparentʼs help and they, after his constant Refusal could only back off?

Was there something going on between them? Had he a fight with them?

Or was a ten-year-old Alan Peccator greatly affected by his parentʼs death that he rejected help?

There was no feud between them at all after more research had been done.

Both parties agreed and the court had nothing else left to do but transfer Alan And Samantha over to an orphanage.

ʼWas it because of trauma? Or...was it because...ʼ

Benson paused his thoughts and looked at the white-haired kid that was far too mature for his age at times.

ʼWas it because he didnʼt want to become a burden?ʼ

***

”So...Iʼm sorry to say this but, what do you want as a present?”

I truly did not know, I could buy her thousands of cakes for her but couldnʼt figure out a good birthday present for her except for sweets.

How could I be blamed? She never asked me for anything and I also had never seen her play with whatever girls play.

ʼAlthough there was also a teddy bear she liked.ʼ

I recalled the memory of her hugging a teddy bear Benson had brought when he came to educate her once.

She loved it to the point she couldnʼt sleep without it. And I didnʼt think she would give her love to another one so quickly.

So it was better to just be direct!

ʼAnd stop looking at me with pity in your eyes bastard.ʼ

I thought when I saw Benson behind Samantha looking at me with eyes full of pity as if they conveyed the message

ʼAre you seriously asking that?ʼ.

”...um.”

Samantha, who stayed quiet for quite a while after her ʼumʼ finally said again and had a puppy eye look on her face.

”I...I want to enroll iinEden.”

ʼHuh?ʼ

A questioning look appeared on my face.

Eden, Ranked as the number two best Academy for awakened in the world.

Unlike shield, which only had one institute, Eden had multiple branches in nearly all the major cities.

They also accepted children that have yet to awaken and had influential individuals backing them.

Shield only accepted Awakened individuals while Eden accepted all students that had a high intellect even though they were not awakened...yet or may never awaken.

Their Motto was Intelligence is strength.

So, If Samantha could pass their Interview and Entrance exams, she could enter because I could very well afford her tuition with 500k from the guild and 15 million from my bodyguard job...but.

ʼHer body....ʼ

She was under the BodyBreak Curse of the demons that slowly eroded her body away.

She would be dead already if not for the fact that she had high affinities to two elements that were fitted for healing constantly repairing her body and fighting against the curse. And also me requesting the guild to cut my paycheck and provide her with health potions now and then.

Awakened individuals with either Water, Life, or Light with their affinities had a much stronger regeneration factor.

And She had affinities to Two of them.

Her body, although being destroyed by the curse was also being repaired at the same time, which was why she was still alive...

But that still didnʼt dispel my concerns.

It was not publicly known that I had a sister, Twilight had done extremely well to hide her.Although I wouldnʼt mind having her enroll in Eden, I also didnʼt want the common people to find that ʼIʼ had a sister.

And if they found out her condition...

ʼThere would be no shortage of other people trying to get to me...through her.ʼ

Thinking about it, a pained smile emerged on my face. Seeing it, Samantha hurriedly said.

”Itʼs ok if itʼs... not possible.”

Hearing her disheartened reply, the pained smile disappeared from my face and I said with a loving voice.

”Do you want to go?”

”Yes!” She replied without a shred of hesitation.

”Do you promise to study well?”

”Yes!” She replied without hesitation again.

And under her eyes, her elder brother could do nothing else but comply.

”Fine, Iʼll come here every day at this time to study with you, Youʼll takes the entrance exams next year. Ok?”

”Ok!”

And with that, Alan silently patted her head for a while.

”Well, do you mind waiting here for a bit while I and Benson go and pick up a birthday cake and present?”

”...no?”

”Good girl.”

And with that, I gestured Benson to come over, he reluctantly did and we both left the suite and went down the building, left, and entered the car.
