Gift Of Freedom

While returning to his apartment, Elil talked with Isabel. 

Elil: Thanks for telling Raikou's affection while we were returning that she only needed a little more push to achieve 90 per cent.

Isabel: It's all my pleasure but I am so shocked that you suddenly proposed to her. Master is getting better at seduction day by day.

Elil: When said, her affection is 88 per cent. I knew she needed little because of her guilt for falling for her daughter's ex. 

Isabel: That is a nice observation and how persuasive you were there, that was also amazing.

Elil: Hey Isabel, what is Raikou's affection?

Isabel: It is 95 percent. And Now, you have completed the first stage of soul bonding. If you spend $70 million on Raikou, you will receive $3.5 million. And will receive Random three abilities. 

Elil: That's the most interesting part. What are abilities?

Isabel: Looks like the master is excited about that. 

Elil: Absolutely. 

Isabel: The abilities you will receive.

1. Legendary Instrumentalist (A LEVEL SKILL)

2. Legendary Braggart (E LEVEL SKILL)

3. Legendary Gambler (C LEVEL SKILL)

These all are the skills you are receiving. 

After hearing the name of all the skills he got confused. He asked,

Elil: Can you explain all the skills?

Isabel: Master listen, the first skill, is an amazing skill. With it, you can play any musical instrument with perfection. You will play it like you have been playing it for 80 years. 

Elil: That's quite an extravagant skill. And others. 

Isabel: Okay, the Next skill you got is normal social skill which helps you to stand out in a crowd. As a sound, with this skill, you will become the world's best boaster. I suggest you should prohibit yourself from using this skill.

Elil: Yeah! You are right. Even I think this is so useless. This skill is just going to ruin my reputation. Hahahaha

Isabel: I think the master is right. Now the last you have received. This skill will make you an excellent gambler.

Elil: Don't you think gambling is a bad thing?

Isabel: As you said, Yeah, it's a bad thing. But you don't know when and what type of problem we are stuck in. So, for now, in more might you will need it.

Elil: Then Isabel, let's say you are right. Does this time also be an increment in spending money?

Isabel: No, the next increment will be when you complete five soul bonds.

Elil: Isabel, what about attribute points?

Isabel: Master you received 100 attribute points.

Elil: Let's see my attributes,

Your attributes are upgraded. Now shouldn't you head towards the home?

Elil: Yeah, let's be right. 

After that, he went home. 

Next morning, 

Yui: Hey! You sleepy head, wake up now is time to go college. 

Elil: I don't want to go. Let me sleep, Yui. Come on. 

To wake him up, she put ice inside her shirt. Due to this, he woke up suddenly. He was furious. 

Elil(angrily): You are going to regret it, Yui. 

He grabbed her tossed on the bed and caught her said,

Elil: Now, you are also not going anywhere. 

Yui: Aww…Sorry, I will not anymore. Please.

Elil: You are not anymore. Just stay here with me. 

Yui(in a timid voice): If we stay like this. We will be late. And you already bullied me so much last night. Please let me go. Aaaaah…

Elil: This is your punishment. 

Then, she suddenly gets free from Elil.

Yui: If you don't come in ten minutes, otherwise you will not get any breakfast. You are so bad, always bullying me. Bye.

Elil: Yui…listen to me.

Yui: Hunn…

Afterwards, he gets ready, 

Elil: Now, you are satisfied. 

Yui: Yeah! I also heard you will receive a bravery award tomorrow for saving Prof. 

Elil: Yeah! I am not interested. 

Yui: How amazing would it be, you fool? I will be very happy. Tomorrow is also a college event in which so many activities are going on. Would you spend tomorrow evening with me?

Elil: You fool, what is there to ask about? We will spend tomorrow evening together. 

Suddenly she hugged him. 

Yui: Thank you. 

Elil: How many times have I told you? You can ask me anything. 

Yui: You know, Elil, it is like a dream for me. To be with you. 

He hugged her and patted her head. 

Elil: You fool, being with you is a dream for me. 

They were engrossed in their sweet little moment and suddenly ovens interrupted them. 

Yui: You eat first. Then, we will leave. We were already late. 

Elil: Come on. Don't be like this. 

Yui: No….

Afterwards, they left for college. While riding Elil signed on to the streaming platform and tried to find the 'Cunning Maiden's' account. And Yui was driving the car. 

Yui: Hey! Babe, what are you doing?

Elil: Nothing much. Just scrolling social media.

After scrolling for a few minutes, he found the account. Elil was talking to Isabel in his mind. 

Elil: Isabel, this is the account. I think so. 

Isabel: Yes, master this account. 

Elil: Hey! Isabel you earlier said the soulmate whom I meet will not be a materialistic person but if we think for a moment most streamers only work for money. Don't they?

Isabel: Master, as I said earlier. You need to change your habit of judging a book by its cover. 

Elil: Okay, let's see. 

When registered for their room, he found there was no registration fee and on the other hand every streamer charged a registration fee. He also found they genuinely do some acts to make people smile. They are talented in things like dancing, singing acting etc. In their handle, they say, " We will change unnecessary money. We just want your support." He was totally amazed. 

Isabel (in a smug voice): Now, what do you want to say? Hmm

Elil: I will take my words back. Okay…

Isabel: I just want to tell you. Please don't judge a book by its cover.

Elil: I will remember. 

Isabel: Now, what are you going to do?

Elil: I think I should donate some money to them. I am trying to find which is the best gift. 

Isabel: That would be a good idea to get their attention and affection. 

Elil: Yeah! I found it. There is a gift of $10k. This is the highest. Let's start giving them. They are live right now.

After a few minutes, 

Isabel: You have already given them $10 million. 

Elil: My fingers are aching by pressing the button for a long time. I think that would be enough to get their attention. What do you think?

Isabel: Yeah! You are right. By the way, reach your destination. 

Yui: Hey! Elil we reach the college. Let's go. I have a very important presentation in college. So, I won't be able to meet you during the break. That's not good.

Elil: It's okay. I also have some chores to do anyway. Bye. 

Yui: Bye-bye.

Afterwards, Yui left, then Elil checked his message. He got a message from cunning Maiden's'. 

Cunning maiden: Good morning, Malhotra-san, for all the help. We are delighted that you donated so much money to us. We are so thankful. Since smartphones can't show our sincerity, we have sent the personal contact numbers of our members. To show our gratitude, we would like to invite you to lunch. We know you would be so busy, but just for kindness. We implore that. 

After reading their message, 

Elil: Woh! The message instantly. I am quite amazed.

Isabel: What are you so amazed about, Master? You gave them $10 million. I think they would have never received this much in their entire life. 

Elil: That might be the case. They are inviting me for lunch. What do you think I should reply?

Isabel: Obviously, you should say yes. Then, we will be able to increase their affection, more efficiently. 

Elil: Hmmmm… you are right.

After Elil replied that he would be free tomorrow…

On the other side, 

Rioko: Hey! Listen both of you, that mysterious person replied to us that he would be fine tomorrow. 

Megumi: I am wondering what he would look like.

Lena: I think he would be some sort of old geezer, who is trying to flirt with a young girl. I would already say this is not a good idea to meet an anonymous person.

Rioko: Don't be like that. It would be our chance to shine. 

Megumi: Lena-chan is so rude to our benefactor. 

Rioko: Yeah! Megumi is right. Don't you know we are on the brink of leaving this because of all those bastards? Tcheee.

Lena: Don't say later that I didn't warn you. 

Megumi: I think we meet him and invite him to a crowded place so that he would not be able to do anything wrong to us. 

Rioko: Yeah! You are right.

After all this discussion, they replied to Elil, " We will meet tomorrow at noon at The Cafeteria near the shopping plaza. Would this be okay?" In reply, Elil said, " That would be fine by me. Let's meet."

Rioko: We are going. Okay. 

Megumi: Fine by me. 

Lena: I need to protect both of you.

Let's go back to our side, 

Elil: Now, it is decided that I am going to meet them. Then, I should also think about gifts. 

Isabel: We have enough time to think about it. You should better head to your classroom.

While attending the class he got a message from Shuuko. She messaged him to her 'The Sky Paradise' at 8 pm. She requested him to meet her. Thus, he accepted the invitation. After completing his lecture, I went back home in a hurry. He returned home to prepare. After preparing for dinner, he went to the venue. He took a taxi. While riding, he spoke to Isabel, 

Elil: Do I look handsome?

Isabel: Master, you are enough to girl fall for you but you forget something. 

Elil: What?

Isabel: You forgot to buy a gift for Shuuko. 

Elil: Oh shit! I totally forgot. Now, we can't do anything. Let's just go. 

Isabel: It's okay and by the way you are to meet because she wants to show her gratitude. 

Elil: Yeah! But just out of curiosity, how much money did I leave for my soulmate?

Isabel: Let me calculate… you have approximately $5.5 billion and your wealth is $8.5 million. 

Elil: I think I reached the destination. 

After taking off from the cab, he went towards the entrance. There he found Aina to welcome him.

Aina: Good evening Elil-san, I am here to receive you.

Elil: There is no need to receive me, Aina-san. 

Aina: It's our obligation, Elil-san. Let me guide you. And once I want to thank you for saving. If you weren't there, then I wouldn't have been present for her. 

Elil: Aina, it's okay. I am also happy that you are safe. 

Aina: Let's not talk about it. We need to meet Miss President.

After that, I went to meet the President. When he entered the lounge. He saw Shuuko wearing a red long dress. She was already so gorgeous but that red added more glory to her. She is an enchantress. Her elegant style makes her fall for him.

Shuuko: Good Evening, Elil-san, I am so glad that you came even when you are injured. 

Elil: No no, my injuries are fine. I am delighted to spend this evening with such a gorgeous lady. 

Shuuko (while blushing): Thank you so much. I am glad you like my outfit. It took many hours to prepare. Awww…I totally forgot to invite you for dinner. Please sit and after that, we shall continue.

They were together at the dining table, dish were served. A premium quality of wine was present. Then, 

Elil: Everything is perfect. A beautiful night sky with a glass of red wine and an elegant woman. This would be the dream of many men. Being with you alone here is the most wonderful experience. 

Shuuko: Elil-san, ever someone told you that you are quite a smooth talker. Hmmmm…If I honestly say when other people comment about me. I feel disgusted but you are an exception for me. Every single thing you say makes me delighted. I wholeheartedly want to say thank you. To save us, I want to give you this car as a gift. This is the Ferrari 296 GTS limited edition. Please accept it. 

Elil: I need to decline it. How could I accept such an expensive car? 

Shuuko: I know you are saying this humility. This car has nothing for you. Please I request you accept it. This is my sole request. Please…

Elil: Miss Shuuko try to understand..

Shuuko: If you don't accept it, I think you hate me. 

Elil: Awww… okay, I will accept. Thank you so much for this hypercar. Now, are you happy?

Shuuko: I am so glad.

Elil: Just frankly speaking, what would be the price of this car?

Shuuko: Not much, just about $8 million. 

Elil: Yeah! You are right.

In his mind, he was thinking. Is this a small amount?

Isabel: Don't you think this small amount is for you now?

Elil: She paid all by herself. I have you. This is not little money. 

Isabel: You are just overreacting. 

Elil: But…

Isabel: Whatever, you need to focus on dinner. 

When they were enjoying their quality time. Suddenly, a nuisance came up. A very arrogant and uncultured person came up with a ruckus. 

Arrogant man: You bitch! How dare you have dinner with another man when you are engaged. You are such a slut Shuuko.

Shuuko: How dare you come to my hotel and cause a ruckus! And I am not your fiance. Guard threw him out. 

Arrogant man: You bitch needs a good scolding. 

He raised her hands to slap her. Then, Elil caught his hand and asked,

Elil: Who are you?

Arrogant man: Who am I? I am Shuuko's fiance on paper. I am Hiroshi Tanaka. The only son of the Tanaka family.

Hiroshi: Shuuko, what he said is true?

Shuuko(with grief) l: Yeah! I took a huge loan from their company. Before paying the loan, my father died. My business is also not going well. In the contract, my father signed before taking up the loan. In that contract, written that if I wouldn't be able to pay the loan. Then, our whole hotel, other properties and other assets would belong to them. Also, I have to marry their son. 

Hiroshi: Now, you listen just get the fuck out of here. You poor bastard, how dare you think about my princess. Hey! Shuuko if you come to the bedroom tonight. I'll forgive every mistake of yours. Hehehehe…And the guard threw the garbage out.

Shuuko: I am so sorry, Elil-san. I am nothing in the cannery in the cage. I couldn't do anything. I was really happy a few moments ago. But it looks like our quality time is over. I am really sorry that because of me you also have to face insult. Please forgive me.

When Hiroshi was dragging her away. Suddenly, Elil hold hands. Then, 

Hiroshi: You bastard let her go.

He comes near to him to attack him. Then, Elil slapped him on his face. 

Hiroshi: How dare you ruin my precious face! You scumbag, I am going to break your arm and make you a beggar. I am going to call my father. 

Elil: You know before coming here, I forgot to get a proper present for Shuuko. Now I know what should I give her. 

Hiroshi: What do mean? 

Elil: How much does she need to pay to breach the contract?

Hiroshi: Just shut up. You wouldn't be able to pay. 

Shuuko: Please you don't need to do anything. I already accepted my fate. 

Elil: You know what Shuuko's fate is not decided. It can always be edited. Just believe me. I buy freedom. 

Hiroshi: Hello! Mr. Hero, you can't just buy her freedom from words. 

Elil: Tell me the amount. 

Hiroshi: Why are showing off? 

Elil: I said tell me. 

Hiroshi: It is $2 billion. Now, after hearing such a huge amount. You would become dumbfounded. Now pay, here machine. Heheheh… poor beggar, society scum. 

When heard brought his card and swiped in the card machine. There is sound coming.

The card machine: The $2 billion payment was done successfully. 

Everyone was in shock. Shuuko was astonished. Hiroshi looks like the ground slips beneath his feet.

Hiroshi: What the fuck! What are you saying? I will call my secretary. Do receive any payment?

Secretary: Yes sir, we receive payment of $2 billion right now. 

Elil: Now, I think everything is settled you get the fuck out here. You don't disturb our wonderful dinner. 

Hiroshi: Don't try to showoff nothing is going to change. I will still play with her. You can't do anything. 

When he was trying to force Shuuko, Elil knocked him in one punch. And called the guards.

Elil: Guard throw out this scum in the dustbin. 

Guard: Yes, sir as you wish. 

After the guards left. Suddenly, Shuuko hugged him and said,

Shuuko: Why did you pay this much just for me? Even we don't know about each. 

Elil: I have so much money. And as said earlier I forgot to bring a gift for you. This is my gift to you. My gift is your freedom. From today onwards they will not create problems for you. 

Shuuko: Thank you so much. I don't have words to express my gratitude. You saved me twice. I don't have anything for you.

Elil: There is no need to give me anything. Your smile is enough for me.

Shuuko: Why doing this to me? I will not be able to pay it back. 

Elil: There is no need to pay it back. This is my gift. Just as a friend accept it. 

Shuuko: You are so a kind person. If you wouldn't be present here. Then, I won't be able to show my face to others.

Elil: It's okay. You don't need to worry. Everything is fine. 

Shuuko: You are the first who was so nice to me.

Afterwards, Elil was consoling her. She cried for half an hour. 

Elil: Are you feeling better?

Shuuko: Thank you so much for everything. I even so my unpleasant side. 

Elil: What are you saying? You look so while crying. 

Shuuko: You are making fun of me. 

Elil: Noz I am honest. 

Shuuko: Hmmmmm…

Afterwards, everything will become normal. Aina came inside. 

Aina: Are you fine, Miss President?

Shuuko: Yes, everything is fine. We need to see off to Mr. Elil. He would be late for home. 

Elil: Don't worry. You gave me a new supercar. I will reach my home in a few minutes. Thank you for organizing such a nice and generous dinner. I am very delighted. 

Shuuko: It's all our pleasure. 

Aina: We are really happy to have you. 

Elil: I think I should take my leave now. Bye.

Shuuko: Bye, Elil.

Aina: Bye, Elil-san.

Afterwards, he left for his home. 

Aina: Mam, you call Mr. Elil just Elil. I think from today both of you will be closer. 

Shuuko: Awwww…Aina, please don't tease. 

On the other hand, 

Elil: This, car is quite amazing. I love it. This is not as good as buggati but it is still something. 

Isabel: You are quite happy.

Elil: Why wouldn't I be? 

Isabel: That bastard face was quite something. Today was an interesting day. 

Elil: His face is amusing after the payment.

Isabel: Master, miss Shuuko's affection has increased to 70 per cent. She is almost about to fall for you. 

Elil: Yeah! You are right. But first I need to reach the house. 

Afterwards went towards his home in a hurry.
