Rebirth: Super gene

Chapter 12: Black hearted



In Steel Armor Shelter

Bian was about ready to teleport back to the alliance, he wasn't sure when he would return to the sanctuaries. After some conversations here and there he understood the current situation of steel armor shelter.

Son of Heaven gained the bloody slayer, a powerful shapeshifting sacred-blood beast soul. During a joint operation with the military he also gained another sacred-blood beast soul for flight. The power balance shifted, the military and fist guy gang are suppressed by Son of Heaven's faction.

"I would have preferred to eat the meat" Bian pouted, but hiding meat wasn't realistic. Its aroma would attract predators. He went to meet Qin Xuan in the military.

"Stop!" A soldier said. "This area of Steel armor shelter is under the jurisdiction of the military" His expression was stone cold.

"I have urgent business matters to discuss with Qin Xuan" Bian said.

The man signaled to a junior who checked some files and shook his head.

"You aren't on the appointment list. Go back and make a proper appointment" he said to Bian.

"I don't have time for that, just help me tell her I want to make a trade" Bian responded. He knew the man was only doing his job but he didn't have any more time to waste.

Yang Manli was on her way to Qin Xuan's office when she heard a commotion at the gates. 

"What's happening over her" she came over and asked.

"Ma'am, he says he wants to meet the station master but has made no reservations" the soldier responded while standing at attention.

Yang Manli directed her attention at Bian.

"Why are you looking for Qin Xuan" she narrowed her eyes, her expression serious.

"I have some items which I believe she would be interested in" Bian said.

Yang Manli scoffed "then go through the proper channels you can't come hear and create a scene. Escort him of the premises"

She said and turned around to walk away.

"I guess I'll have to sell this to Son of Heaven then" Bian muttered under his breath "what a shame."

Yang manli was an archer. She depended on her senses to locate her enemies. She naturally heard what Bian said. The situation for the government wasn't looking good, Qin Xuan was looking for a way to increase their manpower. Manli looked at the huge bag on Bian's shoulder then spoke up.

"Wait, let's hear what you have to say." She signaled for him to come inside. They spoke as they made their way to Qin Xuan.

"What's in the bag" Manli asked.

"Mutant meat" Bian responded.

When they got to the office, Manli knocked on the door before entering in alone. A few minutes later she walked our and signaled for Bian to enter while she waited at the door.

In the office, Bian saw a stressed out Qin Xuan and spoke up.

"Good day station master I am Bian, I want to trade my items with the military" Bian remained standing as he spoke.

Qin Xuan motioned for him to sit before speaking up.

"Thank you for coming to the military, but all trade can be done online and definitely do not require my presence."

"I want to trade 100 pounds of mutant meat, 195 primitive beast souls and 46 mutant beast souls all of the same type." Bian summoned the beast soul of a mutant black fanged snake. A curved dagger appeared in his hands, seeing the poisonous edge piqued Qin Xuan's interest.

"I'm guessing you don't want money" Qin Xuan said looking Bian dead in the eye.

"You're right, I need at least two S-class Saint Hall licence." Bian responded honestly.

"Alright, but I want you to come to the military first whenever you want to trade" The beast souls and meat would help increase the strength of her men and also the fact that he didn't ask for several license showed his integrity.

"Well balance the rest for money, about 50 million dollars, what do you say" Qin Xuan planned on building a good connection with someone who could bring in such a loot.

Bian readily agreed he now had 116 million dollars. He would be able to pay off his debt.

"If you need anything else don't hesitate to give me a call" Qin Xuan always looked ahead when investing in processes or people. She thought Bian might be worth the investment.

After collecting her contact information he bade her farewell. As he left the room Manli came in with a file containing his information.

"His full name is Bian Manwei, his father serves as a galtic patrolman. He came into the sanctuaries six months ago and travelled from glory shelter to steel armor shelter in less than three months after entering the sanctuaries." Qin Xuan signaled for Manli to go on.

"He followed Xue Longyan back to glory shelter but never made it back. He was presumed dead for months before showing up at our doorsteps. " Yang manli read out Bian's information.

"Although he isn't all that strong, he was able to survive in the wilderness for months. His potential is high, let's keep an eye on him" Qin Xuan said.

"He's just lucky, he lacks real skill." Manli commented. She briefed Qin Xuan on the wingsiders and any known event regarding Bian.

...

"I'm finally going home" back on planet daylight, he made his way back home.

As he entered the house he saw his mom cooking in the kitchen he sneaked up behind her, but couldn't say anything as a voice shouted behind him. 

"Big brother" a six year old girl shouted. His mom turned around and laughed when she saw his face frozen from shock.

'How didn't I see her coming' After being trapped in the desert, his senses had been enhanced enabling him to find creatures all around him.

"Yeah she started to do that, if you can't see her it's like she has disappeared. Ran don't scare your older brother like that." Manwei Lan said.

"Okay!" She smiled mischievously.

"Welcome back, you're just in time for dinner" although Bian had been missing for several months he never once broke a promise, his mom knew he would be back as he had said.

They sat down an ate some stale bread with diluted soup, It wasn't tasty at all.

"Uhm, mom has the situation gotten very bad" Bian asked.

His mom looked at him a little angry and said "it wouldn't be, if someone didn't borrow 100 million."

"What! How did you find-- wait How does that affect you?"

His mom explained to him "when kids under 18 take a loan exceeding 2 million, it is tied to their guardians or parents. This information isn't stated in the contract they give you to sign, millions of kids who take loans inadvertently pull their family into poverty"

Bian felt like trash, to think his family would suffer because of his decision. It was one of the worst feeling in the world. The insurance company wouldn't openly say this since they would get the assets of millions of families if the debtors couldn't pay back the loan.

They would only borrow because their family lacked the funds so most of them became homeless due to this, the insurance companies wouldn't even bat an eye to all this suffering. They truly are black hearted.

"Your father and I--" as Manwei Lan was speaking Bian suddenly stoop up and cut her off.

"Don't worry mum I still have the money, I'll go retun it."

"You didn't spend it?" She asked but then sighed. "It doesn't matter, the interest would be in millions, let's wait for your father to come back tomorrow then we'll met Aunt Freya for --"

She was interrupted once more by Bian

"I also have some extra money for the interest rates" he suddenly said before bolting out the door.

He made his way to the insurance company, money express. He went to the secretary gave his name and told her he was here to pay back for the loan.

'Whoa he looks angry, they must have done it again. I can't believe this is legally allowed.' She felt pity for the young man standing in front of her as paying back would be the first thing to come to anyone's mind but the interest would have skyrocketed.

A few minutes later the secretary told Bian to go to office B-12 on the 13th floor. Standing in the elevator Bian calmed himself down.

"I will pay back what I owe and be done with this shit"

As he entered into the office he spoke before the man could.

"How much do I owe" he said indifferently.

"Well due to the interest rates and--"

"Cut the crap and answer!" Bian yelled

Hmph! The business man disdainful, said to Bian "One hundred and five million" he spoke the words one by one. 'You think you can get out of this by paying the exact amount you borrowed, dream on'

"Here, don't let me see you ever again" Bian paid and walked out, he stopped at the door and clarified. "Or am I missing anything?" 

The business man disoriented, quickly recovered and brought out the contract, he signed the amount paid, and sent a copy to Bian.

"Thank you for doing business with us" he stood up and bowed. Any individual who could pay back had most likely found a good footing. It wouldn't be wise to antagonize such persons.

As Bian returned home, he noticed the weird stares from the people all around.
