(00:00):
Jacob slowly got up from the bedto leave her with her thoughts.
Just as he stood up, Sophie looked at him and said, Where
are you going? Jacob turned around to look at
her. I'm just taking a tour of your
room. He said gently.
Sophie didn't answer him. She probably didn't know what to
say. I'll leave if you're feeling
(00:21):
uncomfortable. Jacob continued.
No, Sophie exclaimed. You can stay here, She said
softly. Jacob knew she wasn't OK with
the fiance situation, but perhaps she needed a friend, a
friend who could understand her situation because he was in the
same boat too. That's what I'll do then I'll be
(00:41):
a friend, thought Jacob. He asked Sophie.
Is there anything to do around here?
Sophie got up from the bed and sat in front of the computer and
reactivated the screen with her mouse.
We can play games on my computer.
She said as the desktop wallpaper emerged.
It was a picture of her in a bikini at the beach.
(01:03):
She quickly switched the screen as she must have noticed that
Jacob was looking at the picture.
A little embarrassed, Sophie distracted herself by playing
Plants Versus Zombies out of boredom.
Jacob picked out a random book from the bookshelf across the
room and sat down on a chair near the balcony.
Soon he too was lost in the book.
Time flew by as she fought through many levels.
(01:26):
She was deeply focused on the game now as more and more
zombies kept showing up on her screen and the peashooters
Sophie planted weren't enough todefeat them.
She could do nothing but watch the zombies breakthrough the
door. She failed the level 5 times and
finally got frustrated by it. She threw the mouse on the desk
as if she was mad at her computer.
(01:48):
Don't take it out on the mouse. A voice came from behind her.
She turned around to see Jacob standing behind her.
I can't get. Through this level, she admitted
sheepishly. Plant 2 rows of sunflowers in
the back. Plant another roll of pea.
Shooters in. Front of that.
Then plant A roll of potatoes. Same in the.
(02:08):
Water, except. Planting the Lotus leaves first,
Jacob said. That would never work.
Sophie wasn't convinced your wayisn't working either, is it?
Said Jacob. Sophie pondered over Jacob's
idea for a few minutes before she started the level again.
She successfully passed the level using Jacob's strategy.
(02:32):
Did it work? Said Jacob, who had returned to
his reading chair. No, said Sophie.
She didn't want him to think that he was right.
Jacob stood up, pretending to goover and check.
Sophie quickly exited the game in panic.
However, her bikini photo was now insight and she bit her lip
to control her blush. Don't, don't look.
(02:53):
At it, Sophie stood up hastily to block his view.
Jacob chuckled and teased. Her.
I've already seen the live version, why can't I see the?
Picture. Sophie gritted her teeth and
clenched her fists. She hit Jacob on his chest.
Thanks to the loss of her internal core, it wasn't a
strong hit. Instead of causing pain to
(03:14):
Jacob's chest, it felt like she had put her hand through a wall.
Sophie smiled at Jacob's reaction because he was covering
his chest and pretending to be hurt.
The two of them were too focusedon the screen to realize Helen
had quietly pushed open the doora bit to take a look at them.
It was time for Jacob to leave. Helen knocked on the door.
(03:35):
Sophie turned her head to face the door.
She suddenly realized they were sitting very close to each
other, so when she turned, her face was almost touching
Jacob's. She slowly moved away from him,
her face turning red as she did.Jacob straightened himself as
well. Sophie turned off the computer
and hastily walked out of the room as she pretended to be
(03:56):
calm. As she climbed down the stairs
with him, she wondered a few days ago.
I did not like that guy at. All how?
Come, I was having so much fun playing games with.
Him. Jacob was surprised at himself,
too. It's late and I should get.
Going, Jacob said as he said hisgoodbyes.
(04:17):
Helen turned to Sophie and said.Go see him off, Soph.
Sophie stood up reluctantly. She was tired.
She looked at Jacob and followedhim to the door.
They reached the bus stop and Jacob gently asked Sophie to
head home. I know you're tired.
The day was. Pretty overwhelming, he said.
(04:37):
Yeah. Sophie nodded with her head
down. She suddenly looked up and
stared at Jacob for a few moments.
Then she turned and began walking back to her house.
Jacob realized that he didn't even have her number.
As he watched her walk away. Jacob was alone at the bus stop,
thinking about Sophie. He suddenly realized that the
(04:57):
news about him being picked up by the limousine at noon in
front of the dorm area would have reached every student by
now. His thoughts were interrupted by
a call on his cell phone. It was Sam.
Jacob picked up the phone and before he could say anything,
Sam began yelling. Jacob.
Why aren't you back yet? Where the hell are you?
It's getting late. I'm going home.
(05:20):
Today, Sam, I'm tired. Jacob knew Sam would be waiting
for him. Oh, tired huh?
Looks like our dude had a great time today.
Sam's voice went from concern toplayful in seconds.
What on earth was going on during the day?
You left us all in shock, mystery man.
And nothing really. It was the relative from last
(05:42):
time asking me to have a meal attheir home.
Jacob answered casually. Are you kidding me?
You get picked up in a limousineand the old man tells you that
you need to meet your fiance andyou say nothing's going on.
Come on man, tell me more. Sam kept insisting he was
clearly excited to know everything.
Nothing major is going on. Sam, I promise, Jacob said when
(06:06):
Sam finally let him talk. Fine, we.
Will wait for. You to come back and continue
our interrogation. We're not.
Letting you off the hook so. Easily.
Sam said as he hung up the phone.
Jacob was actually speechless about what Sophie's family did
today. He wished that he could keep
their circle a secret, but on the other hand, the way they
(06:27):
acted was so eye-catching that it drew.
So much attention. Jacob wanted to stop thinking
about his new dragon in laws fora bit, so he checked his cell
phone. He wasn't surprised to see Sam's
dozen messages and proceeded to delete them.
There were a few from his class president, Kathy as well.
He sighed as he deleted those too.
(06:47):
What was the point? He already has a fiance.
After spending the weekend peacefully with his grandma, he
planned to go back to the university on Sunday evening so
he could avoid the crazy gossip that must be going around about
him. The big pile of sacks his
grandma sent for his friends couldn't keep Sam and his
roommates off his back. On hearing that Jacob was back,
(07:09):
even the guys from other dorms flooded over.
Hey, man. You made such a big scene
getting picked up by a limousine.
I heard that even the rich boy Malcolm from the Advanced.
Class doesn't get such a treatment, said Henry, who had
welcomed himself into Jacob's dorm.
We heard about the fiance. We know everything.
Don't try to hide anything from us.
(07:31):
Said another uninvited classmate.
Even the. Girls were talking about you.
They were saying that your family's filthy rich.
Tia, a senior who didn't know you even existed was also
talking. About you too.
They were beginning to take it too far.
Jacob could only listen to them helplessly.
All. Right, all right.
Stop making things up. Jacob finally spoke up.
(07:55):
Look, it was a practical joke. Set up by one of my old friends.
The limousine freaked me out too.
I know it looked like a big scene, but it really wasn't.
I'd tell. You guys wouldn't I?
Jacob heard the murmurs dying out and then said.
How about we all go out to eat? My treat.
The guys were all disappointed because there was no gossip, but
(08:17):
they all got excited about the treat.
They all rushed out of the dorm building, dragging Jacob along
after what seemed like a night of endless gluttony.
Jacob was duly informed about the gossip, that it happened
after he had left in the limousine.
They told him that not just Jacob's classmates, but the
entire college was talking abouthim.
(08:37):
They were taking guesses at who his fiance could be.
The rich kids caught wind of thenews too.
They were all set to rag Jacob, but he never showed up this
weekend, so they couldn't. Jacob silently thanked his
stars. Having dined and whined to
satiety, the boys began to leave.
Jacob was left with Sam and his two room mates.
(08:59):
They were heading back to their dorm room, talking and laughing
loudly and with their arms around each other's shoulders.
The four of them stopped dead intheir tracks as they ran into
Vice Principal, Liam, and some other teachers of the university
who were inspecting the dorms. Seeing the vice principal up
close, the roommates who were laughing and singing songs
became quiet. They were silently waiting for a
(09:21):
scolding from him. To everyone's surprise, the vice
principal smiled and waved at them even though he saw that
they were all drunk. Liam walked by them along with
the other teachers and the guys exchanged shocked looks with
each other. Did I just see the vice
principal wave at US? One of the roommates asked Sam,
(09:41):
who seemed to have sobered up assoon as he saw the group of
teachers. They thought that the vice
principal would yell at them after knowing that they went out
drinking, or would at least comeup to them and ask which major
and class they were from, but hejust waved.
Strange things happen. Every year.
In this college, but they sure. Are stranger this year.
Said Sam, letting out a sigh of relief.
(10:03):
Next day, Jacob had to reach Sophie's house by. 5:00 in the.
Evening. He arrived at their house and
rang the doorbell. It was Helen who opened the
door. So early.
She let Jacob in and smiled. Sophie isn't.
Back from school yet, Jacob. Entered and asked.
He was a bit embarrassed about being early.
(10:25):
No, her uncle Kenneth, my husband's third youngest
brother, is picking her up because her dad is working late.
Today, she answered as if Jacob was already a member of the
family. Take a seat on the couch and
watch some TV if you'd like. Make yourself at home.
Jacob opened his backpack and put the study material for
(10:46):
Sophie on the coffee table, and after thinking something for a
few seconds, he turned to Helen and said.
Why don't I give you a hand in the kitchen?
OK? Sure, Helen.
Looked at Jacob with a surprise look on her face, and then
smiled. Come along then.
Jacob walked over quickly and started rinsing the vegetables
and cutting up the meat without any instructions.
(11:09):
He looked like an experienced chef in a restaurant the way he
went about doing everything in the kitchen.
I could tell that you are a sensible kid if only myself had
half your. Sensibility.
Helen sighed. She's still young.
I only cared about games. And gossip when?
I was her age as well. Jacob answered without even
(11:31):
thinking. Jacob kept working quietly for a
while when he remembered that hehad a lot of questions for
Helen. Could you tell me what role an
inspector plays in the Dragon Clan Jacob?
Asked in a straightforward voice.
Oh, you met an inspector? Helen was a bit surprised.
(11:52):
A professor. In my university.
Her name is Susan. Jacob said.
Oh, her, Helen said in a matter of factly tone.
You know her. Jacob was curious.
Helen saw the curious look on Jacob's face and continued.
The Inspectors are a group of authorized figures of the Dragon
(12:14):
Clan who are in charge of supervising the internal events
of the. Clan they.
Have the right to interfere withanything that's against the
rules, such as bribing and murder.
They have the right to handle the matter themselves before
reporting them to the higher authorities, as long as they
have evidence of the. Crime.
(12:36):
Wow, they. Seem pretty dangerous.
Like the King's Knights? When there.
Were emperor's. Ruling different countries.
Said Jacob. Don't underestimate them, many
of them are above the heavenly level in the clan.
Elder Liam is already a master of the North Atlantic Dragon
Region, but even 2 Elder Liam's wouldn't even be able to.
(12:58):
Defeat, Susan, Helen went on. How did she know about my
identity? Asked Jacob.
The fact is that we all have ourauras.
You are at a very low level to sense your aura, let alone sense
someone else's aura. But Susan is an extraordinary
(13:19):
inspector of the Dragon clan. She can certainly see through
you because she can read. Auras, Helen explained
patiently. Can't I hide my aura?
Jacob asked immediately. You can, but if the person is
much stronger than you, they canstill.
See it, Helen said. As if she knew exactly what was
(13:41):
on Jacob's mind. She continued.
But don't worry, we are not allowed to kill each other
within the Dragon Clan. Susan won't hurt you as long as
she recognizes your legal identity.
She would even protect you. Plus, you are now a part of the
North Atlantic Dragon Clan and we won't let you get hurt that
(14:03):
easily. Helen suddenly straightened her
back and added confidently. Jacob was touched with the way
Helen spoke to him. She had completely accepted him
as her son-in-law after all. Why else would she welcome him
to her home or promise to stand up for him if he was in danger?
Does Sophie's dad hold a high? Status in the Dragon clan.
(14:26):
Jacob asked the question that had always been bothering him.
He thought it was a good opportunity to ask.
He's all right. He's the king of the North
Atlantic. Helen said lightly.
Dracon the Dragon King of the North Atlantic, to be precise.
She added as she put the chickento roast.
How will Jacob manage being the son-in-law of one of the most
(14:49):
powerful dragon clans? Will Inspector Susan become an
ally or an enemy? We'll find out.
