Chapter 399: Facing Up (7000 bonus)

"Bet on what?"

Kent took a hard gulp of wine.

He did not want to admit it, but he was indeed a coward!

"Bet that I can make you face your own heart! If I fail, I will stay away from Miss Helen from now on..."

Aaron proposed a suggestion that was very tempting to Kent.

After all, Kent and the two nannies were both very worried that if the two continued to meet, Miss Helen might cause some scandal of premarital unchastity!

If that happened, the Count would surely kill them!

Aaron shrugged and suddenly said in a solemn tone: "I won the bet; according to the agreement, you should leave Helen."

"No, absolutely not!" Kent did not know what had allowed him to break through his fear: "Only death can separate us!"

To the outside world, he was just drunk and had fallen into a deep sleep.

The door finally opened, and Helen, her cheeks slightly flushed, walked out. While tidying her clothes, she glared at Kent with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"

Baoluo handed over a glass of plain water: "You were drunk just now, so we let you lie on the sofa for a while."

Kent stood at the doorway, first tidying his clothes, then pushed the door and entered, but seeing only the maid holding the orange cat Clark, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The young lady was invited by Mr. Jack to his cabin to paint." The maid was feeding the lazy orange cat dried fish and answered with a smile.

He even suspected that Aaron had fed Miss Helen some kind of love Magic Potions!

"Guess?"

Aaron said in an inexplicable tone.

"And if I succeed... you have to leave Helen, how about it?" Aaron revealed a devilish smile.

The two nannies looked at each other with an expression of sudden realization.

"Wait, Mr. Jack..." Kent gathered his courage: "Let us have a competition between men; Miss Helen should have the right to choose the person she likes!"

Although it was a dream, the taste of love was still etched in his heart.

Kent was still hesitating when he suddenly saw a young man and woman walking towards him. He was very familiar with the beautiful lady among them, and he blurted out: "Miss Helen?!"

"Sorry, my name is not Helen."

Kent said something that left the maid baffled and ran like a madman toward Aaron's cabin.

He saw the two nannies, their faces full of worry, guarding the door, and couldn't help but be consumed by rage: "What are you doing? Helen is doing something stupid, why didn't you stop her?"

Kent took the water glass, took a sip with a blank expression, then suddenly clutched his chest, feeling his heart beating violently.

The Fourth Primordial Substance of the 'Shadow' path is 'Shadowless', and for some time now, Aaron had already figured out the core ability of the Fifth Primordial Substance of this path, which is related to 'Dream'!

'Shadow' naturally possesses authority over dreams.

"Who exactly are you?"

"He is not Jack, I am!"

The ticket inspector at the gate glared at him with disgust, but still let him pass.

Aaron snapped his fingers.

"You..."

"Yeah? Why didn't we stop her?"

Helen's suite.

But the next moment, a warning from his Spirituality made his pores tighten, and he dared not move a muscle.

'Where is this? I have completely lost my Extraordinary Ability...'

"Helen, I want to tell you something, I'm sorry... I haven't been brave enough all this time, unable to face my own heart... I... I love..."

"I am just a wandering painter."

"Then... are you going to break the agreement?" Aaron nodded calmly: "Very well, I wish you success."

Before his eyes, a luxury passenger ship similar to the 'Shengmagehao' was docked.

Kent stood foolishly in place with a bright red palm print on his face.

"Let me face my own heart?" Kent drank the remaining wine in his glass in one gulp: "Fine... I agree."

This excitement and urgency made him not want to waste another second; he stood up and ran quickly toward the cabin, wanting to see the woman who haunted his dreams.

Kent let out a shout and rolled off the sofa.

Based on this principle, Aaron named its Fifth Primordial Substance 'Dream Realm Traveler' or 'Nightmare'.

'Anyway, whether one has faced their heart is a very subjective matter; as long as I don't admit it, you can only lose!'

He looked at Aaron, suspicion in his eyes: "Are you... also someone from that circle?"

"I'm fine... so it was just a dream."

"You jump, I jump!"

And the Sixth Primordial Substance of 'Shadow', Aaron happened to have seen before; it was the 'Spirit World Shadow' that had been unfortunately ambushed and killed during the 'Lecture Hall Tragedy'!

At this moment, he had secretly transformed into a 'Dream Realm Traveler', causing Kent to fall into a dream.

Helen cursed and fled the scene quickly, holding up her skirt.

He walked out of the room and saw Kent: "Congratulations... you faced your own heart."

At this time, Aaron in the room leisurely put away the oil painting and whistled: "Nice figure..."

While Kent hesitated, his companion behind him gave him a push, letting him pass through the ticket gate.

"Where is this?"

"Where is Miss Helen?"

"Inexplicable."

The wealthy young master beside her, who seemed to be her fiancé, first comforted his fiancée, then turned and glared fiercely at Kent: "Kid... if I catch you hitting on my fiancée again, I'll kill you!"

He looked around in confusion, discovering that he was not on the sinking ship, but on a sofa in a bar.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Slap!

Kent immediately slumped onto the bar counter and began to snore loudly.

The person opposite him was a terrifying creature whose level of Essence far exceeded his own!

Kent stood rooted to the spot like a statue, cold sweat dripping down his forehead drop by drop.

Cannot move!

If I move, I will die!

Kent stared at Aaron, his gaze gradually turning dangerous.

"Very well, I declare... the Contract is established."

Kent opened his eyes and found himself wearing a white shirt and suspenders, holding a ship ticket in his hand.

The lady who looked very much like Helen was startled for a moment, then smiled and replied.

Slap!

Before Kent could finish speaking, he received a slap to the face.

"Hey, Jack, don't just stand there like a fool, the ship is about to set sail."

Kent's heart sank like a shipwreck, plummeting straight into the deep sea, yet he still pounded on the door frantically: "Helen, Helen... come out quickly!"

He thought with a hint of smugness.

Kent was an Extraordinary after all; at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

He knew he could never win in a contest of strength, so he wanted to make the other party follow the rules of the game, preferably by courting in the way of ordinary people, which would be better for everyone.

Aaron looked at him in surprise, as if looking at a monster: "Who told you I want to pursue Helen? I have no relationship with her anymore. You don't understand the mindset of an artist; regarding beautiful things... we don't care about them lasting forever, we only care about having once possessed them."
