Rebirth: An Assassin's Revenge

The two of them drank tea in silence. Luna didn’t trust Master Gideon completely. “Your place is very elegant. If possible, may I visit you again?”
“Of course. You are welcome here anytime,” Master Gideon said with a smile.
“Thank you.” Luna stood up and walked past Master Gideon, her eyes fixed on a decoration. “This deer made of white jade is very beautiful.”
Master Gideon didn’t even turn his head back and held his teacup in his hand as he said, “My youngest son bought it when he traveled to Thailand for vacation. He had only played it for a few days before giving it up, and sent it to me.”
Luna said oh, but realized that the deer looked strange.
After giving it a look, she found where the problem was. “Why are the eyes of the deer red?”
And it was quite strange no matter how she looked at it as the red turned from pale to dark.
“The eyes of the deer were made from blood jade. The horns were also made from the same material. There was a reason for it, but… I do not believe in such a thing.”
Luna calmed herself down and asked, “Can you tell me about it?”
She didn’t know why, but she needed to find out more about this.
Master Gideon looked at Luna and noticed that she was not tempted by the jade deer. Her will was unusually tough.
The girl was indeed quite interesting. But he wondered how long she could restrain herself.
“I’m old and my memories are getting worse. It was said that it had been cursed or something. But as long as one uses one’s blood to feed it, the jade deer could fulfill any of your wishes. However, the price that one needed to pay was not something that normal people could pay.”
There was a slight change in Luna’s eyes as she asked, “We’re living in the 21st century now. Would anyone still believe in this kind of superstition?”
Master Gideon merely smiled and said nothing, quietly drinking the tea in his hand.
It was fine if someone else was the one saying that. But when it was she saying it, he found it quite funny.
After sitting for a little while, Luna stood up and left.
Master Gideon asked his servant to escort her as she left. Before she entered her car, the butler then gave her a pouch. He then said, “Ms. Brooke, this is for you from Master Gideon.”
Luna was slightly stunned. The pouch was sewn using very good materials, and the craftsmanship was outstanding as well.
The koi fish on the pouch looked very real as if it would jump out of the pouch at any time.
“This is..?”
The butler then said, “Master Gideon said that you looked like you are burdened by many thoughts. The thing within the pouch might be able to help you at a critical time.”
Luna became confused. What could happen to her?
“Goodbye, Ms. Brooke.”
Luna thanked him then got into the car with the pouch, and she kept on replaying what Master Gideon had said to her in her mind.
Master Gideon said that he was not interested in other people’s lives. But before she had left, he gave her this pouch.
Was he a friend or a foe? What was his aim?
Although the original’s status was quite good, Julius Brooke didn’t care about her at all.
Although her birth mother left a billion for her, she needed to marry and have children before she could obtain it.
She knew that before that, all her money and status would depend on Alexander.
She didn’t want to admit it, but that was the truth.
If that was the case, why would he say that to her?
She drove back to the mansion. As soon as she had parked, Luna couldn’t help but open the pouch that Master Gideon had given her.
Inside was a talisman made from a moonstone. On the moonstone were runes while its body was clear and bright without any impurities. It also seemed to radiate blue light.
The moonstone talisman wasn’t big, but the quality of the moonstone and its craftsmanship meant that no one would be able to get one without spending tens of thousands. It was the type used for exhibitions.
Why would Master Gideon give that to her?
She returned to her room with that pouch, turned on the computer, and browsed the web to check what the runes on the moonstone meant.
The sun was setting and covered the world in gold. Luna gave it a thought and then decided to put it on.
Even if it was like what the website said that it could cleanse one’s magnetism, a small gem like this probably wouldn’t have much use.
If she were to keep it, then she wouldn’t know what Master Gideon meant at all.
“Madam, Mr. White said that he had a social call tonight and wouldn’t be able to come back for dinner,” Mrs. Niles said after she knocked on the door. “Is there anything you want to eat?”
Luna opened the door and said, “Can you make me some meatballs with tomato sauce? It’ll be best if you can make an omelet as well.”
“Of course,” Mrs. Niles replied. Then, she saw the amulet she was wearing. “Your necklace looks so nice. Is that a dragon?”
Luna smiled and said, “Dragon? Oh, no. Those are runes.”
Mrs. Niles was then stunned. “Then it must be me because it does look like a resting dragon.”
Luna stood there and looked at the lines on the moonstone talisman.
Dragon? Dragon…
Something seemed to flash through her mind, but she wasn’t able to grasp it.
Mrs. Niles had finished making dinner very quickly. Luna was just about to eat when Alexander gave her a call.
“What are you doing?”
“I was just going to eat. When are you coming back?”
“Something else comes up, so I’ll be late.”
“Oh, anything else?”
“…Can’t I call you when there’s nothing?”
“Ah, it’s not that!”
“Come pick me up later. I drank, so I can’t drive.”
“Where’s your assistant?”
“…Oh?”
“What time? I’ll go and pick you up. Do you need me to bring anything?”
“…I’ll give you a call later.”
Luna felt strange as she held her phone. It seemed that she could be the president’s driver?
But she kept on feeling that Alexander had other plans in mind.
In some dining hall, Alexander was talking with someone while holding a glass of wine in his hand. Behind him, someone was whispering.
“The president seems quite happy, did something good happen?”
“You really don’t care about what’s happening around you. He’s now together with the eldest daughter from the Brooke family. Ms. Brooke is a beauty.”
“A beauty? Are you joking? That was obviously an… ugly woman. Her makeup is so thick at night that she could probably scare away ghosts!”
“That’s why I said you don’t know anything! Ms. Brooke is very different from before. It was like she had a revelation, and she is definitely a beauty right now.”
“If you say that, then I really need to find the chance to see it for myself. Uh… Wait, wasn’t Luna Brooke engaged to Clarence Oak?”
“Shush, don’t say that. Clarence Oak and Eve Brooke were already sleeping together. Didn’t you see that Clarence Oak has said nothing since he got here? The Oak family didn’t want to let Eve marry into their family.”
“Tch, she’s the daughter of a mistress. Mr. Oak was no idiot, he wouldn’t let her marry into the family.”
“But Clarence Oak seemed to be under a spell or something. He had made a huge fuss about this. Not only was his position in the company put on hold, but even his finances were also all frozen.”
“That’s his own fault. It was so obvious that Eve Brooke is someone that’s very good at pretending to be pitiful. I suppose Clarence Oak was completely smitten then!”
“Who knows? But from now on, we’d have to stay away from the Oak family. I don’t want to offend Alexander because of this.”
“Yes, you’re right…”
