Aaron's Eye

The next few days was rather peaceful. Liang Heyun tried calling Liang Yan numerous times, yet Liang Yan never came. Although Liang Heyun liked how helpful Liang Yan was being, she couldn't help but get spooked so easily. Liang Heyun sighed as she went to the competition building.

X World Mall was not only popular, but also high class. Most of its areas were covered in grey paint, very minimalist, and classy too. They also have an indoor garden, which was where the competition would take place.

The indoor garden was very beautiful, and Liang Heyun visited it every time she went to X World Mall. Liang Heyun might not seem like it, but her family was fairly rich. They just didn't like to spend a lot of money on 'unnecessary' things, as Mr. Liang said. Although it was X World's indoor garden, the one who controlled it was Mr. Lee's family.

And yes, Liang Heyun just found out about that.

"Heyun, come here," Mr. Lee, with all his handsome glory, called the plain and common Liang Heyun over. Liang Heyun, who noticed the 'high class' people surrounding Mr. Lee, couldn't help but twitch her eyes. To Mr. Lee's right was a woman plastered in brands, to Mr. Lee's left was a woman caked in make up. Right now, they were glaring at Dye with such intensity, Dye felt her heart had been carved out, stitched in, carved out again and the circle could go on forever.

"Yes, Mr. Lee," Liang Heyun walked over. To be honest, she just brought a small backpack filled with her phone and her pencil case. She was also dressed according to what the PIC said : white, long sleeved shirt, and black pants. She seemed really ordinary, compared to the ladies holding 'Zeus' bags and 'My Lady' pumps.

"This is my most prided student! Liang Heyun! Her English capability has far surpassed local English teachers!" Mr. Lee introduced Liang Heyun, who was now the center of attention again. Liang Heyun's palm was sweating, while she could feel her hairs standing up.

'Please say that if you didn't threaten me about Liang Yan...,' Liang Heyun thought, 'Also, what is that menacing glare for!'

In the end, Liang Heyun could only give a stiff 'hi', before she was held tight by Mr. Lee. She looked at Mr. Lee who was staring at her with his indifferent eyes, like usual. Dye suddenly felt Mr. Lee's hand near her abdomen and was about to shout when Mr. Lee commanded in a cold voice, "don't move."

She froze.

"I'm just putting on your number," Mr. Lee said, "And please just call me Mr. Hyo-joon in the future."

Mr. Lee, was an K country male, living his whole life in A country, and he had his attractive English name : Tyler Lofte...except...he didn't like his English name and much preferred his K country name...

Aih...

'Mr. Lee, can you not be so intimate? You have a face and body of an adonis who can easily join B*S! Can you please just let this poor student rest in peace?' Liang Heyun's heart was crying rivers and oceans. Alas, her cries fell into deaf ears, as she didn't cry out loud in the first place.

'Where are you Fillia! Save me from this man called Lee Hyo-joon!'

But her junior sister didn't come at all, until the competition almost started. Liang Heyun angrily glared at Fillia, who didn't know what happened. Poor Fillia was so confused that she didn't pass the first bout of the competition. To add salt into Liang Heyun's wounds, she was the only one who passed. Those brand-wrapped ladies looked at her sinisterly, but before they could do anything, Mr. Lee in all of his handsome halo came in and swooped Liang Heyun, Fillia, and David (who was ignored from the start to finish) away.

"Ms. Liang, look at me," Mr. Lee sighed. The stubborn girl was looking at the opposite side while grumbling profanities. Thankfully, they weren't in their school, but instead outside of their school.

"No," Liang Heyun grumbled.

"Then, I'll go to the next table over with David, just talk to me if you need to," Mr. Lee rubbed the bridge of his nose, obviously frustrated.

After the two men was out of earshot, Fillia immediately asked, "Sister Heyun, look at me."

"No, you traitor, leaving me to be a lamb-chop for those vixen-like women...!" Liang Heyun muttered, "I will not forgive you..."

"But I have information regarding that Liang Yan of yours," Fillia stated, "I don't mind if you don't want to look at me, or talk to me, but just listen to what I have to say!"

Liang Heyun hesitated, before giving Fillia a 'go on' hand-wave.

Fillia took a deep breath and said, "There's a clan living in a deserted island once. The clan was wiped off due to a sacrifice for their lady, attaching their lady to the one she desired to meet the most, thinking that it would be her enemy."

"Is that lady Liang Yan?" Liang Heyun asked, but quickly dismissed the thoughts. She was too plain and normal for Liang Yan to take interest in her.

"But surprisingly, she didn't attach to anyone, and was instead, sent to the Realm of Souls," Fillia said, "however, there was a rumor that a cyclone just happened in that very same deserted island, and the island became red with blood."

"Aaron said that he looked into it with his 'eye' and confirmed that it was not far from your birthdate, year 20XX," Fillia continued, "he also told me that the person Liang Yan desired to meet the most, was her benefactor."

"Anyways, he also said that Liang Yan, was called 'the lady in black' before this, and was still the lady in black. Liang Yan always wore mourning clothes everywhere, as if her happiest moment in her life, was when someone died," Filla finished, "When a daughter born from the wisest of scholars and the strongest of warriors come to this world, she will become the hope of the soul realm, and will forever be revered."

"Is that...me?" Liang Heyun subconciously pointed at herself.

"Who knew?" Fillia shrugged, "anyways, my mother's here! Catch you later, Sister Heyun!"

After Fillia left, Mr. Lee and David left one by one (Mr. Lee was, surprisingly, picked up by his younger brother). Liang Heyun, who was still processing the information, was suddenly jolted aware by a glass of orange juice.

"Oops, my hand slipped~"
