Secret Society: Raising Calamity Class Disciples
Chapter 94 The Answer

Boom!

The heavy machine stopped working after a blast.

"Aaah!" The lab coated Jared removed the headset and threw it to the ground. Cracks formed on his spectacles. The other cord, which ended with a funnel, was still attached to Eulene's chest.

The whole machine was too weak to withstand Eulene's destructive heartbeats.

The third member of the committee held his firearms, but inspector Nadela stopped him from moving any further. He remained silent and kept his eyes on the duo.

Eulene was staring back at Xavier. But unlike Xavier's expressionless countenance, Eulene's was showing a flurry of emotions—shock, confusion, anger, fluster, panic and whatnot.

[WHAT DO YOU MEAN LET'S GET MARRIED?!] Eulene used all of her willpower to make sure she did not let her words out loud.

[It's exactly what I meant] Xavier's transmission was as expressionless as his face.

[Do you know what you are saying?! How can you take such an important matter so lightly?]

[It's just marriage. All we have to do is to sign a contract. Once you get the citizenship, you will be a lawful member of this world] Xavier replied. [We don't have to necessarily live like a married couple. We just have to continue living as we have been for the last month.]

Ah. Eulene just realised what he really meant. But why was the bastard so nonchalant about this? And was it so easy? To get married? She did not know what it meant in this world, but where she came from such a bond was holy, and was meant to last for a lifetime—or even beyond.

Eulene transmitted to Xavier. [I am sure there's other solutions than marrying you] She still was not convinced.

[Of course there is] Xavier replied.

Eulene's eyes glittered. [How?]

[You just have to marry someone else] Once again, Xavier's answer was nonchalant.

Son of a bitch!

[Can't it be faked?] The panic in Eulene's heart increased. Was she finally going to be a married woman?

[Unfortunately, no. The law requires witnesses to be present during the signing]

Eulene was inwardly freaking out. Wait! She was an immortal. Such marriage would mean nothing. What would be really work on her was taking on a Dao partner. She tried to console herself.

Yes, Eulene. You are not taking a Dao partner, all you are doing is taking a…husband?

Witnessing Eulene's freaked out silence, Xavier asked again. [So, do you want to marry someone else, or me?]

[You!] Eulene answered in a jiffy.

Fuck! She realised her blunder. All the blood in her body rushed to her face.

"Fine! Let's do it." She hurriedly turned away and began to compose herself.

Inspector Clark clapped his hands. "Congratulations!"

The bald inspector Nadela did so as well. "Congratulations! How I envy you youths!"

Xavier did not bother to thank them. "How many months can she stay here before getting citizenship?" he asked.

"Two months," the interrogating inspector replied. "And don't worry. We will send you an official notice a week before the time period is about to end."

Xavier nodded and turned to Eulene. [It's over. Let's go]

Before Xavier and Eulene could get up, the bald inspector opened his mouth. "I suggest that you take work here at the Thirteenth. With promotions, you will have excess to more and more advanced intel, that could increase your levels higher."

"But that's not the only way to get access to the materials, is it?" Xavier retorted.

Inspector Nadela raised his brows, but soon, he regained his composure and the smile on his face widened. "If it's 'that', it's actually a better option. I have seen the report on you. Undoubtedly, you are suited for such tasks. I hope your fiancée joins as well."

Eulene's ears twitched from the magic word.

"That's the plan." Xavier stood up and turned to Eulene. "Let's go."

Soon, the duo left the room, leaving the four members behind.

"Is it really okay, letting them leave like that?" The third member, with the holstered revolvers, spoke for the first time.

The smile on Inspector Nadela's face disappeared as he pointed to Equipment Specialist Jared and the damaged machine. "Her heartbeat alone was enough to do that. Do you think the members outside would have been left unscathed if we started such a high level battle here?"

The man remained silent.

"Besides," Inspector Nadela continued, "they might join the College soon. It might not be a part of us, but it's certainly in our jurisdiction. We can watch over them. Besides, there's some freaks there, who will definitely want to study an exotic specimen like the young lady."

Inspector Clark, who was equally ranked as the bald man, suddenly frowned, remembering something. "You interrogated her for half an hour. Did you ask her name?"

"Oh."

******

Xavier and Eulene sat inside a carriage, silently—both in physique and mind.

Eulene's heart was still in chaos. She, after more than two whole centuries, was finally engaged. She was not angry. Getting married was in her bucket list, but she wanted to marry someone worthy, someone she loved, and obviously in a better condition.

But this was just too sudden! Damn too sudden. One moment, she was playing brain games with sleuths, and the next moments, she was fucking engaged!

Yes, if there was anyone worthy in the world, it was this bastard, but she barely knew him for a bit more than a month. She still found it hard to accept.

But one thing angered her, and that too—immensely. How was that son of a bitch so calm? If any man back in her world learned that he was engaged to Yue Lin—'The Yue Lin', he would have died out of heart attack from pure bliss and shock.

But this bastard? He treated it like this was nothing. She suddenly remembered something. How he treated marriage as trivial. A sudden thought formed in her mind—a question. Panic resurfaced in her heart.

She turned to Xavier and took in a deep breath. She decided to ask the question and get rid of the heaviness.

"How many times have you married before?"
