Chapter 1610 Public Enemy


    When the king of the tribe sentenced Kurt’s aunt to death back then, his grandparents hired someone to


    investigate what had happened in their state of panic. It was then that they found out that she had sent


    her two kids away overnight. Because of that, the high priest used the two kids of bringing bad luck to


    the tribe.


    Although Kurt’s grandparents really wanted to save her, there was nothing much they could do within the


    strictly hierarchical tribe. As such, they decided to try and rescue her children instead. They figured it


    would at least provide his aunt with some form of constion while she awaited her execution.


    However, they could not seem to find them no matter where they looked.


    The tribe tortured his aunt for years while searching for her kids, but they were unable to locate them.


    Eventually, the wicked king had the worst idea possible—to have his mother bear the punishment of her


    sister’s crime. He forced himself on her, and that was how Kurt came to be.


    As if that was not bad enough, the high priest used him of bringing bad luck to the tribe when he


    turned ten. He suffered the same fate as his cousins. Had Karl not arrived in time, he would have died


    there.


    In the dark, Kurt wore a scornful smile on his face and said, “That’s not true. He only has that face


    because that woman used some kind of drug,”


    “Drug?”


    Upon hearing that, Vivian was so shocked that she stopped crying instantly and stared wide-eyed at him.


    What? I didn’t know it was possible to alter a person’s appearance through the use of drugs!

    The young man nodded. “She consumed a specially concocted form when she was pregnant.


    ording to modern-day science, it’s a type of drug that alters genes.”


    “Seriously? Something this powerful actually exists?” she eximed in surprise.


    A person’s appearance depends entirely on their parents’ genes, but Kurt said that woman was able to


    make Prince Jason look exactly like Brother Cal by altering his genes with drugs… This is


    unbelievable… Even with how advanced technology is these days, I don’t think a drug like this has been


    invented yet!


    “Yeah, so you need to be more careful next time. Don’t go off on your own,” Kurt exhorted, frowning.


    Naturally, he would not tell her that the woman from earlier was actually a former high priest in Elysium


    and that the drug she used was no legitimate stuff either. Due to Elysium’s mysterious and isted


    nature, there were many nasty things in the tribe that the world did not know of.


    The two of them returned to the vi that night.


    After sending her to her bedroom, Kurt was about to leave when she pleaded, “Kurt, could you leave the


    door open? I’m still a little scared… A-At least wait till I’m asleep before closing it?”


    Vivian was so embarrassed that her face was burning bright red when she said that, and she could not


    even bring herself to look at him.


    Of course, Kurt was not about to say no to her request, especially when she was asking him so


    earnestly.


    His ears, too, turned scarlet as he lowered his head to look at her. Watching her averting her eyes from


    him, he almost told her to go to sleep and that he would watch over her in the room, but his shyness


    caused him to swallow those words.


    In the end, he stood by the door until Vivian fell asleep.


    It was not until he heard the sounds of her steady breathing that he quietly entered the room.


    Moonlight pouring in through the window illuminated the room as he sat down in a chair and watched her


    while she slept peacefully.


    The sun was high up in the sky by the time Vivian woke up the next day, but Kurt was nowhere in sight.


    Where’s Kurt?


    As she nced about the room and noticed the chair that had been returned to its original position, she


    jumped off the bed with a start.


    “Kurt? Kurt?”


    “Ah, you’re awake?”


    Kurt’s voice, which had yet to deepen fully, sounded particrly pleasant to the ears.


    Feeling relieved, Vivian bolted downstairs in her pajamas and ran toward the young man who was busy


    making breakfast in the dining room.


    “I thought you left.”


    “Nope. From now on, I’ll drop you off at school before I head over to the university,” Kurt replied as he


    turned toward her.


    However, the sight of her milky white skin and curvaceous figure beneath her thin pajamas caused him


    to retract his gaze immediately.


    A slight blush formed on his face as he lowered his head, but Vivian did not notice it as she was


    overjoyed after hearing him offer to send her to school every day.


    “Really? That’s great! Here, these are the keys to my car!” she eximed excitedly while handing him the


    car keys, only to pout in disappointment when she remembered that he could not drive. “Oh, wait… You


    can’t drive since you’re not eighteen yet… Then, I’ll have my driver pick us up instead!”


    Kurt did not say anything in response, but he had a smile on his lips the entire time.


    The duo headed out half an hourter, and Vivian stood by the gate until the car disappeared from her


    sight before skipping into the campus.


    “Vivi, you’re here.”


    “Hey, Sonia!” Vivian chirped, her mood brightening further when she saw her best friend.


    Yet, Sonia’s expression turned solemn after she greeted Vivian.
