8. Fearsome Young Lord, Handsome Young Lord

The sound of a cold shower pattering on the hard floor resonated as the water washed off the particles of wood, ash and dust that had accumulated on Jin's body after his resurrection.

Jin never thought a cold bath would be that refreshing. Well, after what he had been through within just a few hours, it was expected.

His body needed that relaxation.

He breathed a sigh of satisfaction as his body felt rejuvenated, almost as if the cold water scrubbed every atom of fatigue out of his body, leaving him fresh and brand new like a newborn baby.

Jin looked at his abdomen and smiled, rubbing and feeling the defined structure of the four-pack abs in front of his eyes.

Unlike his old body, this body seemed to have been worked out to an extent but still lean like his old one.

However, Jin's current body was in an overall better shape than his body back on Earth and he liked it.

He flexed his arm muscles and roared like a wild beast, feeling hot and sexy.

"Grrrr!"

After a few minutes of his childish shenanigans in the bath, he stepped out with his light brown towel wrapped around his waist to cover his lower body.

Unbeknownst to him, he had company and he had not realised it until he removed the small towel he cleaned his face with, only to see two beautiful young ladies staring at him.

The ladies were struck dumb and dazzled by the sight of Jin.

"Ma-Master Jin!" one of them blurted out, her legs slightly trembling and her hands revealing her sheepishness and fear.

The other immediately hid her hands behind her back and lowered her head, avoiding any form of eye contact with the young lord of the Weiss mansion.

Jin merely watched them as he cleaned the back of his ear and hair, raising his eyebrows in confusion as to why these two women were shaking so much.

Taking a closer look at them, their beautiful fair faces were gradually turning pink.

Even as much as they tried to hide it, their eyes couldn't stand another glance at the young lord.

They were mesmerised by his half-naked body as well as the fear that was invoked by his presence.

The first maiden bowed and tried to calm herself. "For-forgive us, Master Jin!"

"Forgive us!" the second maiden added to the plea, lowering her head even further

"We didn't know you were in there! The lady had only instructed us to change your sheets!"

Jin's face went deadpan. 'They didn't hear the sound of the shower?'

The Dark Wizard then smiled, unearthing the obvious lie they had told in their defence. 'They are obviously lying.'

Jin raised his hand, casually dismissing the intrusion like it didn't matter.

"Don't worry about it," he said as he walked into another room, leaving the two maidens of the mansion to do the work for which they came.

His words brought them some relief and they could now even breathe as one let out a heavy exhalation, almost as if she had been holding her breath in since Jin caught them.

They both looked in the direction where Jin had headed.

'What a fearsome young lord,' Paula thought.

Risa, the second maiden, had a contrary opinion to Paula on Jin. 'What a handsome young lord.'

Risa breathed out and held her chest, slowly controlling her breathing. "Phew! I thought we were in trouble, Paula."

Paula then looked over at her colleague while quickly wrapping up on her end of the bed dressing, just so she could leave as soon as possible.

"We will be if we don't round up here soonest," she whispered, her eyes constantly looking in the direction which Jin had gone to see if he was coming.

Of course, as servants at the Weiss mansion, they had caught wind of what happened earlier that day between their young lord and the people from the Elariz Clan.

They could only but feel crawls on their skins and shivers travelling down their spines.

The news brought both relief and fear into the hearts of those under the Weiss' roof.

They were relieved because they could muster some level of confidence that Jin was on their side as long as they didn't cross him.

…Yet they feared what he was capable of.

"Psst!" the other maid called Paula's attention, her voice barely matching a whisper as she carefully observed the room for Jin's presence. "Psst, Paula…!"

"They said he's no more human," she gossiped, looking at Paula and the room intermittently.

"We are barely a month here, Risa and you want to get fired," Paula answered back, clearly expressing her apathy towards discussing the matter any further.

The red-haired maid, Paula, was even more afraid of Jin Weiss than she was relieved of him being her young lord.

She didn't know Jin well enough to boast that he would be willing to protect her and so, she was struck with fear after what she had heard about the incident.

Her anxiety even worsened when she saw the guards handling the roasted bodies of Buma and his group.

It was a nauseous sight to behold, one that turned her stomach and made her sick.

"Let's hurry up and leave here, Risa," Paula advised, going to arrange the flower vases by the window of the large room.

******

Meanwhile, Jin stared quite intensely at his reflection on the long horizontal mirror inside the room he entered.

He looked at his new body for the first time from his eyes and he was impressed.

Perhaps, the sight of himself inside the body of Jin Weiss now solidified, in his mind, the fact that he was now the new Jin Weiss and had to live as such.

Jin expressed his excitement in a grin, his entire teeth flashing at the room as he recalled the condition for which the system had summoned him here.

She wanted him to reach the pinnacle of all things in this world for her own excitement, simply because he had finished the game before her.

The sheer pettiness for which she did this made him even more crazily excited. Now, spite was building up inside of him for his wife.

Now, he wanted to reach the top and not just because she wanted him to.

'Nay, two can play your game, my dear wife,' he thought, his smile spreading further as his face distorted with a creepy look. 'I will reach the zenith of it all and then—''

Knock~ Knock~

Jin's eyes narrowed immediately with disappointment.

He hurriedly turned toward the door, ready to shoot lasers out of his eyes at the person who just disturbed his evil plan-hatching and villainous monologue!

Knock~ Knock~

At the second time of the knock, Jin walked toward the door and opened it with force, pulling it in and along with the door that opened came the falling figure of Paula.

Paula had attempted to knock for the third time when the door came open and seeing Jin again with his chest exposed left her stunned and she tripped, falling forward and down into what were the manly arms of her young lord.

…Or so she thought.
