Allen opened his eyes and stared at her. In that moment, his usual carefree expression was no more and was then replaced by a calm and serious expression.

“I will give you my soul if you want it, however, that is if you can give me what I wanted…” He calmly stated.

“What do you desire then?”

“Help me free my people in the hands of the Demons, of course, I wouldn’t ask for much, but at least help us when our time of needs.” Allen stared at the infamous Witch Queen. His eyes flashing with firm determination.

“I won’t ask you to fight the Demons for our sake but at least give us your support when we needed it…”

Allen not only sold his soul but also his life to the Witch Queen.

“I will become your servant or your slave, but you can never order me to break my moral and principles…”

“If you promise me that, I will give you my soul or whatever you wanted from me…”

Allen looked at Mia and the others and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t subjugate her but I become her servant or slave instead…”

“What!!?” This revelation startled Mia and the others.

He sold his soul… to her??

“Fortunately, Eliade doesn’t really care about her cooperation with the demons and agreed. Ever since that day, I had become her servant as she helped us fought the Demons in the war… though as time passed by, she fell for me and become obsessed with me. Of course, since I still don’t trust her, I always kept my distance from her, however, one night; she suddenly came and assaulted me…”

!!? The people who are listening to Allen were suddenly dumbfounded. He didn’t assault her but… the other way around!!?

What the heck is this!!?

“It’s quite unbelievable, right?” Allen chuckled seeing their faces colored in disbelief. “However, Eliade wasn’t a common woman… you can say she’s really crazy, had some loose screw on her head sometimes. She’s whimsical and when you catch her attention, no matter where you hide, she will come to you like some ghost and latch on you…”

“I don’t know what she found in me but Eliade was a very strange woman… which I’ve come to like…”

“Then Allen, Ciel… is she really your daughter? Have you seen her before, I mean, in this world…”

Allen shook his head. “I don’t know. I haven’t met Eliade in this world yet, nor would I know how come she has my daughter… probably she will be the one who can answer that. For now, since she’s connected to Eliade while claiming I am her father, then she will be mine… in any case, having a daughter doesn’t seem to be a bad idea…” Allen smiled faintly.

Ever since that day, Ciel became a welcome member of the Bianchi Family.

Xia Yi and Jira started spoiling the little girl, treating her as their own grand-daughter.

They wanted to have one but they know that Superhumans like Mia and Allen would have extremely low fertility rate.

No matter how much they wrestle like dogs in heat, there are only less than 10% chances of conceiving one and so, the two parents had already given up for the time being – that is why Ciel’s existence was extremely welcome for them.

Ciel became the dearest child in the Mansion.

Everyone acted as if she was a little princess. Even Mia and the others even treat her as their own daughter.

From time to time, Allen would switch places with the clone and play with Ciel and the others.

Shopping clothes, playing with her, talking and telling stories, and even making her sleep, Ciel occupied almost half of Allen’s time. Mia’s room became Ciel’s room as she sleeps together with Mia and sometimes Allen.

… …

… …

At some part of the world, Allen and others finally arrived at the Philippines.

Looking at the sky, the former archipelago had now become one big island. It was filled with tall mountains, hills, forests, and valleys. Like a little Garden of Eve, Philippines had become one beautiful island filled with nature’s blessings.

On the sky, there were many strange huge birds, monsters and some even looked like prehistoric dinosaurs, however, most only brushed past them and only some tried to intercept them. Of course, all of them were shot down. From the sky, Allen could see some clearings that looked like small villages.

After flying in the air for hours, Allen and the others finally arrived at a big city. It was enveloped by a big wall made of stones, woods and many others.

It was a bit mismatched as if everything was made in haste and was only mashed together to build it – though, the people seem to have started rebuilding it since the front part looks better and cemented.

Upon landing, Allen and the others were greeted by several high ranking soldiers since they all wore quite a good and clearly ironed uniform. There were also those Allen found familiar…

The moment Allen came out, a male and four females greeted them.

One woman rushed towards Allen and hugged him, excited to see him again.

“Whoa, nice to see you again Grace,” Allen grins as he accepted her embraced.

“I have seen you for ages, you didn’t even write…” Grace felt her face burning from excitement. “And what happened to your appearance?” she asked, touching and tracing Allen’s silver hair and dark grey skin.

She had recognized him only because the Bianchi family had already notified of their arrivals along with their pictures. However, if not for the pictures Mia sent, she wouldn’t be able to recognize him quite clearly.

“Things happened…” Allen shrugs. “Anyway, let’s catch up later…” He turned towards the people behind her.

“We met again, Mr. Allen,” A woman in a Military Uniform greeted him with a smile, “It seems like you have changed so much from the last time I met you,”

“If I’m not mistaken, Lieutenant Colonel Mayla Flores was it?” Allen recalled the name of the woman.

Mayla instantly beamed as Allen had remembered her name, “Indeed, it is me, Mr. Allen. However, I have managed to rise up in rank, I am now Colonel,”

“Is that so, Congratulations…”

“Thank you,”

“Mr. Allen, how about me, do you remember me?” A man suddenly walked forward and asked.

“Of course, Major William, my mind still hasn’t deteriorated yet,”

“Hahaha, I’m honored.” Major William laughed heartily.

It seems like he’s still a major though~

Poor man…

After exchanging their greetings, another group came towards Allen. Three men with soldiers following behind them.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Allen, I believe we have met before…” A middle-aged man reaches out his hand towards Allen.

“I think we did. However, forgive my rudeness but I couldn’t remember the name…” Allen smiled amiably but he didn’t take the man’s hand.

The middle-aged man smile stiffened and awkwardly pulled back his hand.

“My name is Captain Danilo Otanes… I believe we had some misunderstandings in the past but I hope you can be magnanimous and forget about it…”

Allen’s smile didn’t change and replied, “We had?” with a pondering look, “Probably, but I’ll try my best…”

Not waiting for Danilo Otanes to answer, the two men stepped forward and spoke, “Hello, Mr. Allen, my name is Chito Corpuz, newly appointed Brigadier General of the Philippine Army and this is major General Allan Castillo.”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Allen.”

“Same,”

As Allen was exchanging greeting with the high ranking officers, Aileen suddenly rushed towards Allen, brushing past the old men while dragging a man around his early thirties to – mid-thirties.

“Aileen stopped!” Warned the man but Aileen ignored him and run towards Alen.

“Allen, I want you to meet my father!” Aileen said excitedly while wearing that happy smile. “He’s my father, Roberto Cahlo, Lt. Colonel of the Army…”

“It’s nice to meet you, young man, I have heard so much about you from my daughter…” Roberto extended his hand and Allen took it, shaking his hand, Allen replied, “I hope she didn’t say anything strange… it’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Cahlo, your daughter has been good to me. She’s a great girl,”

Aileen’s face flushed from Allen’s words but a hint of happiness can be seen from her face.

“She’s indeed a great daughter…”

Danilo Otanes was annoyed for being ignored while the others only wore a wry smile; however neither of them tried interrupting or showed any kind of dissatisfaction, after all, Allen was not a normal man, neither is he an average youth.

They swallowed back their displeasure as they waited patiently on the side.

After welcoming Allen’s group, they finally entered the Military Barracks where Allen and the others would be living for the meantime.

The Barracks was divided into three; One was for normal soldiers, and other was for Superhumans who had become soldiers or soldiers who had become Superhumans with Supernatural powers and finally for the high ranking officers.

Obviously, the place meant for Superhumans was much better looking compared to those of normal soldiers. Food, shelter, daily needs, they were all covered by the government and was treated with utmost priority.

Naturally, Allen and the others were led to the barracks meant for high ranking officers where it was clearly much better than the other two barracks. It was a big house that looked like a Mansion…

Allen was given a big room. Living with him was obviously Mireya who doesn’t want to separate from Allen and Sara who doesn’t want to be alone in a room.

The three of them shared one room… at first, Sara was reluctant to have two females and a male to share only one room but Mireya had ‘gently’ persuaded her, leaving no rooms of discussion while saying there were already husband and wives so what is there to mind for…

Sara laughed awkwardly and couldn’t help but resigned herself to fate – who made her follow a strange womanizer?

– What about at night? Don’t tell me, both of them would do it at the same time…?

Embarrassment, nervousness, though with a bit of expectation surged through her. This would be the first time she would do this…

As for, Dakna and Draia, they both shared the same room, besides Allen’s. In any case, they really didn’t care about their place to stay, just that Dakna didn’t want to leave Allen, so she choose the one besides his room. Jayla, on the other hand, was still mysterious and actually choose the room acing Allen’s room.

Laura Brown on the hand, slept in the servant’s quarters while Aileen was with her parents.

The first night, contrary to Sara’s worries nothing happened. Allen, being sandwiched by Mireya and Sara slept soundly and woke up the next day, refreshed.
