Chapter 35: Chapter 35

The light smile on his face only brightened as he watched the little girl carefully change the bandages on his left hand. 

The wounds were already scabbed over, and he had been using his Medicine Skills to help it heal faster. There was really no need to have the bandages on, but he did it to avoid the irritation and keep it away from the eyes of Venessa. 

Of course, she would figure it out that he was hurt, but he knew that every time she would look at his injured hand, her heart would grow restless. And he did not want to play with the heart of his mother. 

Minami had been trained since childhood to become an attendant, and even if she could not hear, and could not be counted as a perfect attendant, she did know a little bit of everything, including first-aid. 

<Thank you!> He conveyed to her through signs and then gently patted her head, which made the little girl blush and really happy at being complimented over a good job.  

The bandages were light, just like he had asked for, which allowed Keith to carefully put on a glove over his left hand. 

He could see the curious eyes of the girl looking at the ring finger of his right hand. She had been glancing at it for the last two days, and he knew exactly why she did that. 

Keith circulated his Aura and intended for the Ring to appear on his finger, which it did, making the girl almost yelp in surprise, and then he retracted it back inside his body, mesmerising her even more. 

Minami embarrassedly lowered her head when she caught him chuckling at her, and then quickly wrapped up the first-aid box before running out of his room. 

"Aaahh!" 

Keith, who was watching her leave the room, was taken aback by her sudden scream, but just as he was about to rush out, he found her running back inside his room. 

She hid behind him, trembling all over, and her fearful eyes peeked at at the door, as if waiting for something. 

He did not have to wait long to understand what was happening, because soon a beautiful Mountian Lion swaggered inside the room. 

"Milo!" Keith ignored the little girl who was trembling all over, and crouched down to the Lion who approached him.

He lovingly petted the big cat, and planted a couple of kisses on its head, which earned him the affection of the cat. The Mountai Lion nuzzled its head in his chest, then in his neck, before rubbing it against his cheeks. 

Seeing him play with the big cat eased Minami's nerves. She was still apprehensively looking at beautiful beast, but she was no longer fearful of it. 

Soon a giggle escaped her lips as she watched it lie on its back and raise its paws in the air when Keith caressed its belly. It behaved just like a little cat even if it was massive. 

<Come!> Keith gently grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit by his side. 

The Mountain Lion immediately sat up when Minami crouched down, scaring the little girl, but Keith gently caressed her hand to assure her that she will be fine. 

He did not have to wait long or tell her anything as the little girl carefully drew her hand forward and petted the cat on the head, which it allowed her to do. 

Keith sighed in his heart at how adorable she looked playing with the cat. Her innocent smile was heartwarming, and it brightened up his mood even more. He carefully stood up, leaving the two of them to play with each other. 

Milo was harmless as it had been raised in this Manor since it was a little cub. It grew up together with Keith, and usually stayed in his Mother's wing nowadays. However, it did pay him a visit every now and then, and only if it found his door open. 

It was a very smart creature, and everyone in the Manor, including all the maids really adored it. 

Keith left the room after a few minutes, and instructed to a maid to keep an eye on Minami so that the little girl won't be troubled by his absence or get lost in this Manor. 

She had been settled in the adjacent room as his personal attendant, in charge of catering to his daily needs. And her brother, who had been surprised, shocked, and apprehensive when he found out the identity of Keith, was now resting in a small house right next to Victor's, on the Demiliore Estate. 

Since they were both at the Peak of Nascent Profound Realm, Keith had instructed them to learn from one another for a couple of months before he would help them both get stronger. 

And he already had in mind what he could do about it.

It was Sunday afternoon, and Venessa was away on a business trip, set to return by the evening.

Nana, who had been living in the Manor for a week, left yesterday after her mother was discharged, settling in a new apartment that Keith and instructed Aunt May to get for them. 

He had been keeping in touch with Nana and Qingyue while he was away. The latter was quite curious about how things were going on his side, and he kept her briefly updated with his progress in the Magic City. And right now, she was coming over to see him with her mother. 

Of course, the little Miss Lin told him that it was her mother who wanted to see him, but Keith understood her personality really well and read through her intentions.

It might have been Celine's idea to come over, but Qingyue wanted it too. She had been a little restless for the past few days, and needed to know in detail how things turned out for Keith in Magic City. 

"Good Afternoon, Aunt May!" He smiled at the aged lady who was attentively waiting for him outside the Manor, standing right next to her Son. "And you seem a little off, Sebastian. Everything alright?" 

"Good Afternoon, Young Master!" They both replied in unison before Sebastian proceeded to answer his query. "Everyrhing is fine, Young Master. It's just that the task you assigned to me is progressing very slowly." 

"Take your time. No need to rush. As long as you can get it done by the third week of January, it's all fine." Keith understood what the young man was freting over, and assured him. 

Sebastian was in his middle twenties, the same age as Yingying, and he had been raised with a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. Since he was meant to inherit his father's position in the future, he had been working tirelessly over the years to prove his worth. 

Not only was he a talented Auror in the early stages of Great Profound Realm, but also well-versed in Business, Economics, and IT.

And now that Keith had taken him in as his right-hand man, he wanted to prove himself to his Master to gain his utmost trust in his abilities. 

"Up for a walk?" He asked them and they both nodded to him before following behind him. "Aunt May..." He gave her the go, and the aged lady started speaking. 

"As instructed by you, Young Master. We have hired a team of young aspiring architects as well as two senior civil engineers. The staff for our Construction Company is full, and we have established a contract with the labor association. Everyone is ready to start working as soon as you give your instructions." She informed him, surprising him by how efficient she was even if he had utmost faith in her abilities. "As for the the reserve funds you put in my hands, I have bought a few properties with potential of development, and here are the details..." She hand him a file, and Keith carefully went through it. 

"You can Instruct the team to start working on Area A, and C. As for Area B, I have my own plans. Make sure that the staff understands that I expect their very best, because it will be handsomely rewarded." 

"Rest assured, Young Master. I will preside over the projects myself. There are already rough plans for development in these three areas, and the plans for Area B will be shelved as instructed by you." 

"Good." He nodded to her and then handed the file back to her. 

"The Black Jay Records has been successfully taken over. All the legalities are done with, and the company is running as usual." 

"Yeah, I met Warner in Magic City." He nodded to her. 

She understood that she did not have to go in detail about Black Jay Records, and so she skipped to the next thing. 

"As instructed by you, a new Lodging and Recreation Company has been established under the Black Forest Group, as well as an IT Company. I have not started working on the former, but for the IT company, I have already contacted the people you provided me the information of." She informed him of another job well-done, and he couldn't help but smile. 

"Did anyone of them state any extravagant demands?" He smirked and asked. 

"Some miniscule things, but nothing extravagant." She smirked too. "And I must say, Young Master, they are all quite talented." 

"That they are." He nodded to her words. 

The people he had chosen were going to be the best in the field in the coming years, but right now, they were just a bunch of unemployed lads who were trying their best to make a living for themselves by getting taken advantage of. 

"I have also hired an analytical team for the IT Company, and the first Analysis on the current Social Media Apps will be submitted to you tomorrow." May informed him. 

"Gather up the Team, and set an appointment for the coming Friday. I will be discussing project 'Memoir' with them." 

"It will be done, Young Master." She nodded to him. "About the Lodging and Recreation..." 

"Focus on the other Companies for now. I will personally handle the business of this company for the next few weeks." He told her, and mysteriously smiled. 

He already had plans for what he wanted to do, and what he wanted to do was cut off a chance of Ye Tian, and steal away one of his future pillars of support in the Sameran City. 

"Sebs, make sure you are free on Saturday evening." Keith told the young man, who immediately nodded to him. 

The three of them walked through the gardens, and on their way back to the Manor, they saw a silver Ashton Martin Valhalla heading towards it. 

Keith recognized the car and smiled when he saw Qingyue and Celine step out of it, and for a moment, he couldn't help but be stunned at how beautiful Qingyue looked today. 

May and Sebastian took their leave, and Keith approached the pair of mother and daughter, who were waiting for him with bright smiles.
