The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Hearing Desmond's words, Clementine looked into his eyes and knew that this was likely to have a significant influence on Desmond, according to her.

"Okay, just tell me whatever it is, but first, let me ask." Clementine bent her hands forward and rested her chin on top of it. "How about your preparation for the next 3 years."

"3 years ..." Desmond muttered. Is it an academy? it's just that the matter is related. "At least I've hired some 'bodyguards,'" Desmond replied calmly.

"Heh," Clementine looked into Desmond's eyes through the mirror to see the truth. This kid is, as I expected. "Then, my only request is to take Diana with you on the day of departure." Her gaze at Desmond seemed to say that she did not accept rejection.

"Hold on, how do you know it's worth the help you provide?" Desmond looked back at Clementine, bringing the type of girl like Diana would always cause trouble.

Desmond had planned from previous years his journey to the academy to walk calmly and help relieve his stress.

"I know." Clementine frowned at Desmond's attitude. "But, the assistance you will receive 'maybe' will be of too much value compared to looking after my daughter." Clementine added, "I just want to remind, we are only people who seek profit from each other." Clementine's words grew harsher as if she didn't consider Desmond her friend anymore this time.

If he is allowed to be arrogant like this, this kid might be useless in the future. Clementine stared at Desmond with a cold gaze.

Desmond is not surprised by this change. This is it that I want. No drama, have clear intentions; this is human. Desmond replied, "It will be difficult ..." Desmond pretended to make a panicked and hesitant expression.

Even though he didn't say the request clearly, but Clementine could still guess only with a couple clues he said. This means showing that Clementine has a bigger network than he thought.

"How about ... if I add one more request?" The warm talk between them had previously disappeared, replaced by calculating each other's profits.

"That's impossible; your first request has already exceeded the value I offered." Clementine coldly snorted.

"How about this? I will protect your daughter personally." Desmond replied with confidence; even he dared say that he could beat her too, but he chose to keep it to heart.

This is arrogant. Clementine's view of Desmond changed instantly. Even though she knew that Desmond could defeat Gibson in one strike, it would be impossible to protect Diana on the way with skill like that.

This kid doesn't know that the world is vast. Clementine laughed coldly, "I admit that you can beat Gibson, but it is very different from the things that will be faced in the future. What if you guys get attacked by the beast race ?! And your bodyguards are busy with other beasts?!"

In Clementine's opinion, Desmond only dared to rely on his bodyguards, which made him confident. If Desmond said this before she receiving the beast race news, maybe she could put some hope on him. 

But now, the situation was much different, so she asked Desmond's deemed 'proper' preparations for her daughter.

Desmond, who saw Clementine's behavior, raised an eyebrow. Tch, this makes things even more difficult. He understood that every mother would want her child to be safe from harm. This behavior appeared before him, not to mention that the murderous aura he released earlier had offended Clementine. 

Perfect mess. Desmond sighed to see that he had no more reason to increase his offer. Initially, he just wanted to ask for help to find information about his parents, but who would have thought that this would end his good relationship with Clementine.

Desmond glanced at Clementine and saw that her gaze was pity on him as if she could see that Desmond had failed her judges.

Well, everyone has their own opinion. But this sudden change makes my mind blow off guard.

"Thank you for your help so far," Desmond spoke with sincerity. Clementine has indeed helped him a lot in the past, but that was all while his parents were still alive.

With his parents' current condition, he does not know whether they were still alive or dead. Desmond could guess that many people would definitely behave the same way as Clementine in the future to his family.

I hope Alice is all right there.

Desmond then focused his gaze on the mirror and looked at Clementine with a cold eye, "It seems our friendship has only until this part.

"You don't want to help me in difficult circumstances and only want to use me." Desmond's tone was calm even he was trying hard to hold back his anger.

He wasn't angry with Clementine or even hated her. He was mad at himself for being so stupid as to believe the meaning of the word 'friend.' 

Maybe it was because I felt like everything was under control that I forgot what it felt like to be betrayed.

To him, his request has the same value as Clementine's. He looks after her daughter with the entire mercenary guild that Katrina promised, while Clementine looks for information about his parents' whereabouts.

Desmond believed that Clementine was only testing a sense of responsibility when she inquired about academy preparations. From his perspective with her connections, it was impossible for her not to know any information about the "bodyguard" he hired.

Meanwhile, Clementine, who saw this, became even more disgusted by Desmond.

It is a fact of rich people's children, when their parents were still alive, they acted arrogantly polite and sweet in front of everyone. But all these behaviors will change when their wealth or parents are not around. 

At first, she thought Desmond was a different child, but when Desmond arrogantly refused her request and even shamelessly added to the request, it was at this time that she thought this was Desmond's true nature.

Clementine snorted loudly before stopping the flow of energy through the mirror.

Seeing this, Desmond fell silent, thinking about his actions, "Or maybe my request is unreasonable ..." He also knew that the connections Clementine could have mostly stemmed from her husband that had a high position in the kingdom army.

"No, my request is reasonable, or maybe she doesn't realize that I hired the best mercenary from the guild?" Desmond shook his head, "Forget it, I must find a way to get that information or ..."

Desmond's eyes lit up; he also clenched his hands very hard as he stared at the beautiful blue sky, "I have to become strong," Desmond muttered and then clapped his hands to call the maid.

"Yes, young master?" The moment the maid walked into Desmond's room, her expression froze when she saw Desmond. 

"Hahaha," Desmond laughed evilly like a devil in human form. His laughter echoed throughout the room; the curtains in Desmond's room also flew. Even the maid could vaguely see the shadow of a giant black dragon behind her young master. 

The maid's legs began to soft, and finally, she fell on the floor, "sob ... Sob ..." she unconsciously sobbed while curled up on the floor.

The maid's crying and falling voice made Desmond realize, "What happened?" he saw his maid weeping on the floor curled up like a snail afraid of her enemy. 

"What wrong?" Desmond approached the maid and touched her shoulder. Desmond felt that the maid's body was icy, he clapped his hand again, and another maid entered.

"Yes, young master?" The maid just walked in and saw Desmond panicking a little while pointing at one of the maids who had fallen asleep on the floor.

"Handle that, and have the other maids come here. Don't forget to give her healing first before giving her natural medicine. " Desmond reminded the maid and told her to find a maid who was skilled in medicine.

Desmond lay down on the bed after they left, "What happened earlier?" he only felt that he was staring at the sky while remembering funny memories from his old world.

But then he heard someone crying and came to his senses, "Is it because of me? What did she see? " he frowned at the thought of this. The thing he hates the most is not being able to control himself.

"System, check my body and search if there is any abnormal energy entering."

Then a transparent screen appeared in his view.

[Task in progress ....]

[Abnormal energy not found, host condition is healthy]

Seeing the results from the system scan, Desmond's expression got severe. "This seems to be related to my consciousness ..."

At that instant, the door to the room opened, and another maid entered, "What I can help, young master?"

Hearing the maid question, Desmond did not stand up, "Hmm, maybe wine first?" he muttered. His expression looked conflicted.

Let's focus on power first, then lastly, wine. Desmond stood out of bed and glanced at the maid, "Buy all the goods in the mysterious shop near the bakery but do not exceed 10k coins.

"And also bring me some information about the families who survived, were expelled or killed directly by King Edward in this kingdom." Desmond added, "Also, bring me some information regarding rank in the army."
