Chapter 10: CH 10

After fiddling with the T3 Sniper Assist for a while, David put it away and dragged his weary body to the bathroom.

As soon as he returned, he had retrieved his memories and discovered the secret about the Shadow Servant. Hence, had no time to clean up the stains on his body.

After the explosion, he was in a disheveled state. The feeling of having clean water stream down from his body relieved much of his fatigue. 

After cleaning up, he checked the injuries on his body, seeing that the injuries on his back had healed up within a day. There were only scabs left on the burns he had sustained on his hands. 

The body that he was currently in was many times stronger than the one from his previous life. With that body, minor injuries like these scabs would take at least a week to heal. However, in this world, the same injuries were healed within just a few hours.

“Emma, prepare dinner for me, with an extra portion of strengthened meat!” After changing into a clean set of clothes, David realized that he was famished. With this in mind, he issued a command out loud to the robot butler, Emma. 

At this moment, he also recalled the memories related to the robot butler Emma, whose name and voice were derived from an extremely famous actress, his predecessor’s favorite.

David couldn’t help but despise his predecessor’s decision to incorporate the actress’s voice into the robot butler and name it after her as well. He had even spent a considerable amount of credit points to obtain the rights to do so. 

David reckoned that this was probably the nature of a homebody. It was the same everywhere, both in his previous life and this current one.

Normally, David would only eat strengthened meat once a day, which was a dietary requirement based on his body’s needs. However, after practicing the eighteen moves of Bodywork today, he felt that his body was in need of a large amount of energy, one that ordinary food could not supply. The effects of taking ordinary food would be poor, even affecting his practice tomorrow.

“Master, you only have 1320 credit points left in your balance for this month. This amount is already insufficient for the purchase of next month’s supply of strengthened meat!” Emma reminded him, standing beside David while he ate. 

David finally remembered that his predecessor had invested everything he had into the sacrifice, the lack of funds the result of the latter’s maniacal purchase of the materials needed for the sacrificial ritual.

After going through the memories in his head, he felt less worried. 

Since he didn’t have a large of income, his mother, Cathy, had prepared him for the future before committing suicide. She had bequeathed two commercial properties in other areas of the city to him, which were handed over to an agency to manage. He would receive 20,000 credit points from them each month.

However, his predecessor hadn’t been concerned about those two properties, and thus didn’t have any memory of where they were. David could tell from the monthly income of 20,000 credit points that those two properties must be extremely important.

20,000 credit points was considered a large sum of money for most people, who normally earned only 3,000 credit points a month.

Hence, in terms of living expenses, David didn’t have to worry at all. Moreover, Hans would still transfer 2,000 credit points into his identity card every month, even though David didn’t want to accept them. 

Although he didn’t have many credit points left at this juncture, it would only affect him for a few days at the beginning of the next month. He would be able to resume his normal expenditure by the time the agent transferred the credit points generated from the rental of the properties to him.

“Ding-dong! Ding-dong!” The doorbell rang with an electronic sound. 

David stopped Emma from proceeding to open the door, while criticizing the butler robot for being unreliable. It was already late at night and he was the only one living here. How could she open the door for just anyone? 

He put down the knife that he was holding and turned on his identity bracelet. He then switched the display to that of the live footage of the doorway of the residence, all the security systems of the premises of the house managed by the identity bracelet. 

In the photo that was displayed, he saw a thin, middle-aged man dressed in a federal-style business suit with a gold badge glowing on the chest area. 

David immediately recognized the middle-aged man to be Hans Karl, the father of the body that he was in. There was a ‘Statesman’ badge pinned to his chest. 

At this moment, David also understood why Emma had been ready to open the door without asking for his permission. As David’s guardian, Hans didn’t need his consent to enter the residence.

The fact that Hans rang the doorbell showed that he respected David.

David was not prepared to meet Han. Nonetheless, he got up and walked towards the door to open it.

Unlike when he was looking at Hans in an image, David had many memories in his head when he saw the middle-aged man in front of him.

Those memories included the time David’s predecessor spent with his father, and his fond memories of the latter. Whenever Hans returned from war, he always brought gifts for David’s predecessor and played with him. 

Those memories of Hans merged with David’s own memories of his father in the other world. As a result, he suppressed the dissatisfaction that David’s predecessor had towards Hans.

“Father!” David couldn’t help but call out almost as soon as he saw Hans. 

Hans seemed surprised, but a smile of gratification immediately graced his face. It had been many years since David had addressed him that way.

After Cathy’s death, David had even regarded him as an enemy.

In Hans’ opinion, it was the result of David going through a life-and-death situation. At the end of the day, David was still a child.

“David, I learned about the accident you were in this morning. It was really dangerous! Are you alright?” Hans asked worriedly. He had paused for a moment before finally remembering the reason he wanted to visit David today.

Although he found out from his subordinates that David was alright and his injuries were very minor, he was still worried when he heard the piece of news.

However, at the time he had tried to contact Emma, he was informed that David was resting. As a result, he did not immediately go to see David, only rushing over after hearing from Emma that David was free. 

“Father, my injuries are alright. Please, come in!” David didn’t know how to get along with Hans, making his way over to whisper to him.

He saw a hover car parked by the side of the road, as well as two silhouettes, one large and one small, of the people hidden within it.

“David, your Aunt Bersha was a little worried, and Eddie wanted to come along to see you too, so I brought them with me” Hans explained when he saw David’s gaze. 

Bersha was David’s stepmother while Eddie was the son whom Hans shared with Bersha. He had been born after Hans and Bersha had gotten married and was now three years old. 

“Father, let Aunt and Brother come in!” David was not displeased. He accepted the memories of his predecessor, but his feelings were still his own. He had his own way of treating his family members. 

Hans was less than fifty years old. Given that the average age of people within Star Federation was about two hundred years old, he was considered to be rather young. 

David knew that Hans didn’t have it easy. As an armorer trained by the army, he was discovered for his talent after he joined the army and subsequently worked hard. 

The rules of the army made it impossible for Hans to go home often, meaning that he and his wife, Cathy, could not spend much time together, especially after Hans left for the war, which left Cathy worried sick.

It no longer mattered to David whether or not anyone was at fault. David was just treating Hans and his kin of this world well on his predecessor’s behalf.

“Okay, I’ll go get them!” Hans exclaimed. He was surprised by David’s attitude, excitement written all over his face. While speaking, he turned around and walked towards the hovercar.

David looked at Hans’ shaky figure and felt rather emotional. He knew how strong armorers were, but Hans had lost his strong body long ago. Although his left arm and left leg were the best prosthetics credits could but, they could only ensure that his normal life would not be affected. 

Hans was originally a Sniper Armorer, which was a special existence among armorers. The loss of his armorer abilities and his lack of interactive abilities were precisely why he had remained in Pelan City after receiving the title of a statesman.

“Brother!” Eddie exclaimed as he ran over to David on his short legs. 

Although David’s predecessor disliked Aunt Bersha, he adored Eddie, his younger brother. He would sometimes even buy gifts for Eddie and visit him in the nursery. 

Judging from his memories, David reckoned that his younger brother Eddie was probably the person whom his predecessor wanted to be the closest to in the world. His predecessor would only stop worrying and forget his troubles after spending some time with Eddie. 

“Eddie!” he exclaimed with a smile while reaching out to carry little Eddie, after which he greeted Bersha, who was behind Eddie. “Hello, Auntie!” 

Bersha was shocked by David’s attitude, but she immediately responded with a smile.
