BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91 New Assistant
Chapter 91 New Assistant
Rushing upstairs, Alex saw that there was water leaking from Nix\'s bedroom.
Walking inside, Alex saw Lin, drenched completely and trying her best to stop the water from violently flowing up at the ceiling from a broken tap.
"Ah… sorry… sorry…" Lin noticed Alex\'s arrival and immediately started apologizing. She didn\'t know how this tap broke so suddenly, she was just trying to rinse her mouth!
Looking at the panicked girl, Alex sighed. He walked towards her and calmly picked her up like a sack of potatoes on his shoulders, making the girl yelp in surprise.
"Hey, where are you taking me!?" The girl asked reflexively in surprise.
"To sell you," Alex said and took out his phone.
"WHAT!? NOOOOOOOO!" The girl wriggled like a fish taken out of water in her panic.
"Hello?" Alex said on the call, ignoring the girl. "Yes, turn that off, I am coming down with the girl."
"NOOOOOO!" Lin panicked even more and started crying. After such warmth, she was going to be sold!?
Demons! These guys were demons! She should never have trusted these guys!
Alex paid no heed to Lin and even though she struggled quite a bit, Alex somehow managed to keep her in place and got downstairs to the living room.
He waited for a minute and then Nix came back.
The first thing Nix noticed after coming back was the crying Lin. She had no idea what her husband did to make her cry, but looking at him get into action right away made her chuckle.
"I turned off the water valve. The water should\'ve stopped by now." Nix said while walking close to the two.
"MISS!" Lin cried out as she saw Nix, a little hope rekindling in her eyes.
Alex put the girl down and she immediately made a run towards Nix, stopping only after getting behind her. She hid herself from the vile Alex and while crying, said, "h-h-he… sniff… he plans to sell me…"
Nix giggled at the girl\'s comment and Alex smiled as well. It felt fun to watch this young damsel be in distress.
Nix turned around and hugged the girl, making her have some hopes.
At this point, Nix could say: "what makes you think I won\'t sell you?", but this would be just too cruel on this little lass.
Thus, Nix didn\'t tease her further and just rubbed her back. "He\'s joking, don\'t take it to heart."
The girl finally heaved a sigh of relief and hatefully glared at Alex.
Alex chuckled as he felt her glares. "I\'m gonna go mop the floor, you guys change and sleep in another room."
Nix turned to Alex and shook her head. "That won\'t be needed. I\'ll have the mess sorted, you go sleep darling."
"You sure about that? The room is quite messy." Alex asked.
Nix nodded. "I can use magic so…"
"Alright then. Have a good night." Alex walked close to Nix kissed her forehead.
"Night." Nix kissed him back and left with Lin.
Alex then called Melissa and spent twenty minutes telling her what all things had transpired.
Once he finished talking to her, Alex changed his clothes and went to bed, falling asleep really fast.
…..
A hidden archipelago in the Pacific Ocean.
Inside a dimly lit red room, three people hidden via cloaks sat in front of a \'X\' — an altar made up of bones.
"Are the curses working?" One person asked.
A second person took out a scroll of some sort and sprinkled some ash of cremated people on it.
A few seconds later, the ash gathered itself in some ancient letters.
Reading it, the person said, "yes. Everything is working fine."
"Good," the third person said. "Once this batch is successfully cursed and we have our final harvest, we can start with our next plans."
The two others nodded their heads. The first one then said, "years of torture from those filthy Blesseds and piece of shit Gods… they\'ll all pay."
"Pay with due interest," the second one added with a murderous intent.
The third nodded his head and replied calmly, "our years of hard work shall not be in vain. The church will come to the public after the Demon\'s Parade."
The other two raised their hands in response and cheered:
"All hail the curses!"
"Glory to the curses!"
…..
Next day.
Alex, Nix, and Lin were sitting at the dining table, having breakfast.
Looking at Lin eat some pancakes peacefully, Alex asked, "She\'s past the age of going to school, yeah?"
Nix nodded her head and answered, "Linlin won\'t be accepted in schools now, she\'s older. And since she\'s not been to any school, universities won\'t accept her either."
Lin, who was in a good mood, suddenly frowned. Even though she had no plans to go to school… knowing that she won\'t be accepted either way, it felt kind of bad.
"Too bad then," said Alex. "If Linlin doesn\'t go to school, she won\'t be able to get a job, and can\'t afford to pay us back for our hospitality."
"True," Nix agreed while holding back her laughter.
Poor Lin was dumbstruck and couldn\'t gulp down the pancake in her mouth. What wrong had she ever done? She had no idea.
She could only just keep her head down and focus on the food, trying to eat as much as she could before getting kicked out.
"Hmm… by the way…" Alex suddenly said. "I am looking for an assistant. Qualification doesn\'t matter."
Lin\'s ears perked up hearing that. She didn\'t look up though, and pretended she wasn\'t hearing.
"What for?" Nix asked with an interested look.
"To do all sorts of odd jobs I may have," said Alex. "Like a personal butler basically."
"Oh." Nix understood what her husband was hinting at. "But it\'s a hassle to have a person like that. Because you know, he\'s going to stay with us and there\'s also the fact that he\'ll get to know all our secrets."
"Yes. That\'s why it\'s so difficult to find a suitable person."
Lin\'s ears were twitching as the information poured in. This seemed like a perfect opportunity for her!
She looked up and was about to put herself in the convo, when Alex said,
"Plus, it gets even more difficult because the assistant needs to be a young man."
Crushed. Lin felt all her hopes crushed with that one single sentence!
Oh heavens, just what the hell was wrong with her luck!? Why was it so crap!?
Lin focused on her meal once again, this time devouring it like a hungry beast because her getting kicked out was very close!
Her reactions made Alex and Nix let out suppressed laughs. They did feel sorry for her, but she needed to be unhappy. Not sad, just unhappy.
Nix let out a fake sigh at this point and said, "you should give up your search, honey. Anyway, this aside, I want to let you know, the bathroom tap is fixed."
"Ah… that reminds me…" Alex turned to look at Lin. "We\'ve yet to punish the little lass that caused it."
Lin shrunk in her seat as she heard that, visibly very uncomfortable with this awkward conversation. She was also too embarrassed to even look up and face the two.
Alex suddenly squinted his eyes as he looked at Nix. "A young… blonde… hmm… also flat…"
\'What in the—\' Lin\'s face flushed in embarrassment. She was angry at being called flat, however, since she was looking down right now, she noticed that there really was nothing.
Her face flushed further and she cursed the heavens once again. So unfair! No, wait… she was growing. That\'s right! She was still growing! There definitely would come some meat inside her!
Ignoring whatever was Lin\'s mood, Alex clapped his hands together, as if a lightbulb turned on in his head, and said with a smile, "I have an idea."
"Linlin, look up."
Lin didn\'t want to, but she still obeyed. She definitely had an idea of what was going to happen here…
"See…" Alex said to Nix while pointing at Lin. "…she seems no different than a young boy, except for her long hair."
Nix narrowed her eyes at Lin and looked at her clearly this time. "Now that you mention it… you\'re right. She indeed looks like a young teen."
"Right?" Alex asked with a smile. "Then it\'s decided. Lin will be my personal butler."
"But…" Lin spoke for the first time. There was a frown on her face. "…I am not a guy…"
No matter what, even if she did look like a boy, she wasn\'t one. Becoming a butler was a big no no.
Alex smirked. "That won\'t be a problem. We\'ll have you tie your hair, everything else should be fine."
Nix nodded and added, "plus, Mel sis even knows a few makeup tricks, so she should be able to turn her into a man easily."
"Perfect then. It\'s decided, Linlin will be my butler." Alex said with a happy smile. "Her butler name will be Linc, short for Lincoln."
\'Curses!\' Lin thought to herself. Why was not a single thing going right in her life!? Why and how did she suddenly go from being homeless to employed to now gender bent!?
This escalation was causing her a great headache and also made her want to cry, but the sweet maple syrup assaulting her tongue distracted her from this fact.
While sobbing internally, she decided it was best if she ignored what was happening right now and just focus on food once again.
Lin, now Linc, forked some pancakes and ate it again. The warmth and sweetness from it calmed her down and made her forget all the wrongs happening to her.
Alex and Nix had smug faces as they successfully ended up scamming a Jinx into being their servant.
No matter how stupid their conversation was, at least Lin now had a permanent home.
Being done with this, they too focused on their breakfast and once done, Alex got up and said with a smile, "alright, time to pay Mel a visit."
