Chapter 560 144: Reunion
Chapter 560 144: Reunion
Vitinya Puliscaro, nicknamed Vini, is the fifth student recruited by Old Jin in the new era and Yun You's fifth senior brother.
He comes from an old noble family, which was once prominent. In Nest City No. 3, their status was comparable to the Collection Clan, but due to some mistakes made later on, the family's influence slowly declined. Nevertheless, they still hold a certain amount of power.
And Vini, as the only child of this generation, was doted upon endlessly.
Perhaps because of this, even after becoming a student of Old Jin and earning the title of Hero of Calamity, the Nest City Council did not forbid Vini from moving freely within the city, nor did they intend to monitor him. They merely issued occasional symbolic reprimands, treating his actions as just playing house or role-playing games.
Old Jin once told Yun You that Vitinya is a typical playboy, with a carefree personality and a loose tongue. He always enjoyed lingering in pleasure places, claiming that he was just building relationships and expanding his network with socialites.
Thus, even in a solemn place like the Starlight Welfare Institute, he was still surrounded by a group of good-looking men and women.
But it seems, he does indeed have an allure of his own.
Born a scion of an old noble family, he carries the title even if the family has declined. Furthermore, with his handsome look and a pair of alluring eyes that could captivate a young girl's heart with just a glance.
More importantly, he is an Apprentice Death God, a Tier Four at under thirty years old, with frighteningly high talent...
If one could forge relations with him, or even form a familial bond through marriage, it would undoubtedly bring enormous benefits to their family's power.
But Yun You couldn't understand why Vitinya would appear here.
Could it be, like the elder and second senior brothers before, that Old Jin arranged for him to come to protect her and Mokaka?
Yun You observed Vini secretly, her mind racing.
Meanwhile...
It seemed he sensed the unusual gaze, as Vitinya Puliscaro, who was joking with a group of beautiful women, suddenly paused, his gaze slightly shifting as he locked onto the inconspicuous Yun You in the crowd.
At this moment, Yun You was still wearing that shabby gray black-hooded cloak. The large hood covered her head and black hair, her face hidden under a silver mask, looking no different from a typical masked dancer.
But who is Vitinya? With his Tier Four Apprentice Death God's powerful Perception Ability, he immediately sensed the Death God aura on Yun You the moment he saw her.
Considering her low-key attire and stature, Vitinya instantly guessed Yun You's identity.
He smiled and lightly waved his hand to signal the women around him to give him some space.
"Ladies, I have a personal matter to handle, let's chat later when I have time."
Hearing Vitinya speak, the ladies, though a bit reluctant, still dispersed obediently.
When most people had left, Vitinya detached himself from the corner, smiling brightly as he walked over to Yun You and extended his hand.
"Good afternoon, little junior sister."
Yun You was slightly taken aback.
She wanted to observe this fifth senior brother a bit longer, but unexpectedly, he found her first, directly revealing his identity.
This left her no way to pretend not to recognize Vitinya.
"Why so restrained?"
Seeing Yun You not responding for a long time, Vitinya withdrew his hand, but he wasn't angry. He just smiled and said, "There's no need for such formality between us siblings."
"That's not what the old man would want."
Yun You still didn't speak.
Although Vitinya's words were reasonable, she remembered that Old Jin's comments on this fifth senior brother were rather complicated.
Someone willing to do anything to restore the family, driven by an intense obsession to revive its former glory, frequently compromised his principles for the family's benefits and status, selling out many partners and friends during his escapades, with values completely contrary to Yun You's.
The only somewhat acceptable thing was his slight sense of integrity. At least his relationship with Old Jin was good, and he was willing to treat his fellow disciples as family.
But...
The thought of him betraying friends made Yun You uncomfortable.
Although Old Jin tried to justify his actions, saying sometimes he had no choice, being constrained by family honor...but it still couldn't completely erase Yun You's opinion of him in her heart.
"..."
Vitinya guessed Yun You's thoughts.
Having been under Old Jin's tutelage for so many years, how could he not know what his senior brothers and sisters thought of him? Or be unaware of their prejudice?
The eldest, chivalrous and unable to tolerate injustice, insisted on being a carefree hero.
The second, kind-hearted, inherited Old Jin's ideals, being the most loyal to the teacher among the siblings, ready to sacrifice everything to change the world with the teacher.
The third, despite betraying Old Jin, had no other choice, she was once a girl with dreams.
The fourth, uninterested in worldly matters, focused only on researching hacker technology, devoting both body and mind to science.
Everyone's dreams were so great, yet what about him, the fifth Vitinya, who was so mundane, fighting for money and striving for family status and fame?
"But what's wrong with being mundane?"
Vitinya unconsciously squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth.
