After fiddling with the T3 Sniper Assist for a while, David put it away and dragged his weary body to the bathroom.

As soon as he returned, he had retrieved his memories and discovered the secret about the Shadow Servant. Hence, had no time to clean up the stains on his body.

After the explosion, he was in a disheveled state. The feeling of having clean water stream down from his body relieved much of his fatigue.

After cleaning up, he checked the injuries on his body, seeing that the injuries on his back had healed up within a day. There were only scabs left on the burns he had sustained on his hands.

The body that he was currently in was many times stronger than the one from his previous life. With that body, minor injuries like these scabs would take at least a week to heal. However, in this world, the same injuries were healed within just a few hours.

“Emma, prepare dinner for me, with an extra portion of strengthened meat!” After changing into a clean set of clothes, David realized that he was famished. With this in mind, he issued a command out loud to the robot butler, Emma.

At this moment, he also recalled the memories related to the robot butler Emma, whose name and voice were derived from an extremely famous actress, his predecessor’s favorite.

David couldn’t help but despise his predecessor’s decision to incorporate the actress’s voice into the robot butler and name it after her as well. He had even spent a considerable amount of credit points to obtain the rights to do so.

David reckoned that this was probably the nature of a homebody. It was the same everywhere, both in his previous life and this current one.

Normally, David would only eat strengthened meat once a day, which was a dietary requirement based on his body’s needs. However, after practicing the eighteen moves of Bodywork today, he felt that his body was in need of a large amount of energy, one that ordinary food could not supply. The effects of taking ordinary food would be poor, even affecting his practice tomorrow.

“Master, you only have 1320 credit points left in your balance for this month. This amount is already insufficient for the purchase of next month’s supply of strengthened meat!” Emma reminded him, standing beside David while he ate.

David finally remembered that his predecessor had invested everything he had into the sacrifice, the lack of funds the result of the latter’s maniacal purchase of the materials needed for the sacrificial ritual.

After going through the memories in his head, he felt less worried.

Since he didn’t have a large of income, his mother, Cathy, had prepared him for the future before committing suicide. She had bequeathed two commercial properties in other areas of the city to him, which were handed over to an agency to manage. He would receive 20,000 credit points from them each month.

However, his predecessor hadn’t been concerned about those two properties, and thus didn’t have any memory of where they were. David could tell from the monthly income of 20,000 credit points that those two properties must be extremely important.

20,000 credit points was considered a large sum of money for most people, who normally earned only 3,000 credit points a month.

Hence, in terms of living expenses, David didn’t have to worry at all. Moreover, Hans would still transfer 2,000 credit points into his identity card every month, even though David didn’t want to accept them.

Although he didn’t have many credit points left at this juncture, it would only affect him for a few days at the beginning of the next month. He would be able to resume his normal expenditure by the time the agent transferred the credit points generated from the rental of the properties to him.

“Ding-dong! Ding-dong!” The doorbell rang with an electronic sound.

David stopped Emma from proceeding to open the door, while criticizing the butler robot for being unreliable. It was already late at night and he was the only one living here. How could she open the door for just anyone?

He put down the knife that he was holding and turned on his identity bracelet. He then switched the display to that of the live footage of the doorway of the residence, all the security systems of the premises of the house managed by the identity bracelet.

In the photo that was displayed, he saw a thin, middle-aged man dressed in a federal-style business suit with a gold badge glowing on the chest area.

David immediately recognized the middle-aged man to be Hans Karl, the father of the body that he was in. There was a ‘Statesman’ badge pinned to his chest.

At this moment, David also understood why Emma had been ready to open the door without asking for his permission. As David’s guardian, Hans didn’t need his consent to enter the residence.

The fact that Hans rang the doorbell showed that he respected David.

David was not prepared to meet Han. Nonetheless, he got up and walked towards the door to open it.
