That evening Jeffery was invited to the Stirling family villa again to have dinner. This time Mr. Stirling was not around because he was away on a very important trip which Rita didn't tell him about. So it was just Rita and him at the dining table. Javier remained at his villa while Kimiko remained within the vicinity of the Stirling villa to look out for potential assassins.After offending the Prescott family so many times, Jeffery felt it was finally time for them to retaliate and he knew they were going to do it no matter what it takes. And he knew that they would definitely go after everyone who was affiliated with him, especially Rita Stirling. Hence he decided that Kimiko stood on the lookout for assassins. And as a professional alchemists he felt that it wouldn't be hard for Kimiko to do his job. Except of course the assassins sent were all advanced alchemists then Kimiko would be able to take care of all of them without him having to interfere at all.It was at this moment t

The powerful punch connected with his face, causing all his teeth to fly out instantly. Blood came spraying out of his mouth as his jawbones were broken instantly. The pain he felt at that moment was strong enough to cause him to pass out but he didn't. This was because a strange energy had seeped into his body, stopping him from passing out on time.What kind of opponent is this?! he thought within himself as he widened his eyes, looking at the figure who was standing before him. By now the wind which he summoned had died down. Only the flames of fire which was burning the dining room remained. His entire body was already burning from the fire but there was no way he could escape from the fire.He tried to manipulate the earth element and undo the spell the figure in front of him had used against him, using every mana he had left in him. But no matter how he tried he could not pull off any spell that could destroy the diamond which kept him in place. It was as if this diamond keeping

A few minutes ago.Kimiko was still standing, watching over the surrounding just like Jeffery had asked him to do. Several times it crossed his mind to escape but he decided against it. It wasn't because he was afraid that Jeffery would retaliate against him if he escaped. No, that wasn't the truth.The reason he didn't leave was because he felt that he could have so much opportunity to grow with Jeffery. This was something he had not felt when he was with his master and it was really strange. Although Jeffery still had not mentioned anything about alchemy to him and had just created a potion to cure him and Javier, he was still optimistic that he would be able to grow.Hence he decided to remain and watch the surrounding, immediately waving the thought of escaping from his mind. He had already given his word that he would remain as Jeffery's bodyguard and he was going to do so no matter what."Master always wanted me to remain a professional alchemist," Kimiko told himself. "I'm not

Without even been hit by Sasuke Kimiko could feel his the blood in his entire body boil from the attack. It was as if his blood has turned into acid, trying to melt his skin. But then he didn't allow that to stop him from dodging the fist aimed at his head, dodging in another direction. But he was very slow for Sasuke who immediately kicked his back with his right foot.The impact of the kick sent Kimiko flying into the air. He then crashed to the ground with a loud thud, rolling across the ground for some seconds before coming to a stop near a fountain."You think you can suddenly defeat me because you've spent some time with Jeffery?" Sasuke said as he walked towards Kimiko. "You think you've suddenly gotten the boldness to suddenly defeat me? You're nothing but an idiot if you think that's the case!"With those words Sasuke immediately lunged towards Kimiko, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him into the air. This caused Kimiko to choke but there was nothing he could do because
