81 Chapter 81 : New Servan (1/2)

As she hails from a rich family, Rika was obviously picked up by her personal chauffeur, who drove her directly home. It's either she wasn't in the mood to visit some places or her parents were too worried so they temporarily limited her outdoor activities, at least until she calms down.

Though it greatly pained him, Bin ended up taking a taxi and followed the white Bentley in which Rika is in. The expensive car drove North-East of the city, all the way to a secluded forest in which there stood a grand manor heavily fortified and guarded.

The servant groaned as he handed the taxi driver money then hid behind one of the trees around and looked at the manor. Just by looking at the tall patrols wearing black suits and electric baton which could break his bones with just one swing.

He made sure not to make any noise while scanning the whole manor, which resembled a castle, encompassing dozens if not hundreds of rooms.

'Ugh… how does she want me to follow her inside? I'm not some kind of a spy!'

He gazed at Rika, who was hiding her face using her over-sized hoodie. She got off the car and silently entered the manor, her steps hesitant and noticeably slow.

'At this stage, it's very obvious that the origin of her problems is from home. It could be domestic abuse… though Jasmine said that her parents didn't seem like the type to do that. Anyway, there's nothing I can do in this situation so I'll just go ba-'

Bin was just about to go back when he noticed a strange scene. Rika, who just passed through the main gate and was making her way to the huge doors of the manor, was greeted by a smiling middle-aged man.

The man wore an expensive grey suit and was followed by two bodyguards who stood two to three meters behind him, their hidden eyes staring at the front.

They were too far for Bin to be able to hear them, nonetheless, he was still able to see what happened. The man, who, supposedly, should be her father, talked to her for a few brief moments before stretching his hand, wanting to pat her head only for the girl to instinctively back away and even start shivering.

Such an interaction between a daughter and father is bound to be shocking but none of the bodyguards cared about the trembling girl. The father also seemed used to this so he just retracted his hand and let after saying a few more words.

As for Rika, she stood rooted to the ground, her whole body intensely shaking. After half a minute or so, her knees gave out and she fell, her hands covering her pale face.

Bin witnessed everything but remained at the same spot, after all, he was powerless to do anything that can help her, at least for now. Personally, he could not understand it, whether it was abuse or something worse, it should not last long as long as the victim speaks up. Rika has many choices that can get her out of her misery yet she seems to have accepted her fate, or so thought Bin.

Sure, she attempted suicide but such an idiotic solution is only for weak people, instead, she should seek help from the outside, like her friends for example. Jasmine, Melissa, and Cara also have powerful backgrounds so they definitely can help Rika, she only needs to ask, which seems to be difficult for the shy and silent girl.

After pondering for a while, Bin let out a sigh and decided to stay for a bit longer. He felt as if something terrible was going to happen soon and if he leaves, it may lead to unwanted consequences. Seeing the state Rika was in right now, it wouldn't be surprising to see her attempt to kill herself for the nth time.

'But… how can I do anything?'

He looked at the enormous manor, the countless guards and the surveillance cameras, feeling helpless.

A long time passed, Rika entered the manor and the father left yet Bin hid behind that tree for god knows how much time. After he weighed his choices, he decided to not sneak up as it's practically impossible. He decided to try another, more direct approach.

…

Two guards stood on both sides of the wide gate of the tall fence surrounding the manor. They seemed pretty bored as one of them was smoking and the other dozing off, unlike the expressionless bodyguards following Rika's father earlier. The two were startled when a youth wearing a tuxedo walked up to them. They uttered no words but they still paid attention to the incoming Bin, who faked a tired expression while gasping for air.
