"What the-?!" Worm words was cut off when he saw a girl lying in the deserted street infront of his house. Specifically, it was 14 to 15 year old girl, which in that age is already very beautiful, you can already imagine her appearance when she fully matures in the future.
"Mm.--" the golden hair girl woke up lazily as she rubbed her mesmerizing emerald sleepy eyes.
'Pang!' Worm felt an extreme connection when he saw her waking up.
Her eyes hazy as he looked closely at Worm: "Big brother? Is-is that you?"
Her question full of innocence and confusement as if she was truly calling out to her brother. Worm was full of puzzlement, he can't remember having any sister, brother, siblings or any other relatives at all.
Worm was about to deny when the girl suddenly stood up and exclaimed "Big brother, it really is you!! Where have you been all this time?"
The girl suddenly ran towards worm and hugged him, resting her head on her chest. Although the girl was 14 to 15 years old, she was already tall. Worm didnt reject the hug and instead hugged back.
Worms eyebrow furrowed as he discovered the reason why this girl is acting like this. She was completely brainwashed!! Her memories was somehow erased and replaced by fake ones.
Just the thought of people manipulating other people makes him uncomfortable, but the fact that someone brainwashed an innocent girl made his stomach churned.
Worm decided to continue this act because he wants to investigate which bastards did such a cruel thing. Of course he knew that his plan of laying low might be interrupted yet he didn't worry but instead returned to his ordinary smile, its because he still has his jacket.
"Come, sorry if the house is a bit shabby. You can sleep on the futon." Worm welcome the girl as he scratched the back of his neck, embarassed presenting his house to his 'sister'.
But the girl's expression was opposite to what Worm expected, he can see her eyes shining as if this was a mansion belonging to the the richest man in the world. Even though the house is very small and can only accomodate two or three people, and the materials of the house was mostly composed of straw and woods, also that their house belong to the lower part of the city which where most poor people resides, the girl was nevertheless excited seeing his 'big brother's house.
Worm was confused by her reaction: "Why are you so excited? Haven't you seen this kind of house?"
The girl innocently shook her head: "I've been lookin for you for almost a month, i've been sleeping everywhere on the street." her eyes teared: "But I don"t care anymore, I now found you, as long as I'm together with you nothing else matters." The girl happily exclaimed as he hugged Worm again while tearing up.
Now that he heard her story, he now noticed that there was bruises on her arms and her clothes are very dirty as if she havent really took a bath for a month but he wasn't disgusted by her appearance and instead crouched down and hugged her tighter. He felt great sympathy to this girl and decided that from now on he will protect this little girl and treat her as his sister. The fact that her memory before one month ago was erased and her mistakenly identifying Worm as her big brother proves that this girl's background wasn't ordinary, also she was probably schemed by someone around her. This made Worm infuriated.
Worm looked at her emerald eyes as he patted her head: "Now now, since you are now with me you don't have to worry a thing in the future. I will take care of you no matter what and give you a relaxing life from now on." He held the girl in her shoulder and said seriuously. The girl sobs as she slowly nodded.
"Now wear this, it's exactly 6 pm and I know you haven't eaten a proper food yet. Lets go to a restaurant to fill up your belly." Worm suddenly offered clothes out of nowhere and warmly invited her.
The girl's eye was glistening like stars when she heard that she and her brother is going to eat at a restaurant, she doesn't care what restaurant they will go to, as long as she is with her brother it's all enough.
Together, hand in hand, they walked out.

After careful probing, Worm discovered that the girl's name is Diana and unfortunately thats the only thing she knows. She doesn't have clear memories one month before she started finding her 'brother'. Worm felt bad of her but didn't let it show on his face, although Worm like staying low profile and humble, he won't be humble to those mistreated him but he most wont spare mercy to those who threatened anyone he closely knows. Not just in this continent but also 'there'. That was always his bottom line.
Worm decided to eat at the most expensive restaurant called 'Expensive Cuisines' idiotic title but really lives up to their name, expensive cuisines. He changed his normal clothing into a more expensive one, although compared to the residents here it was still far cheaper but barely reach the minimum standard of this "Town of riches".
He also transformed Diana into a beauty, he was rather stupefied at Diana's beauty, he didn't noticed it before becuase of her shabby appearance but the moment she finished cleaning herself, her beauty was greatly emphasized. Her smooth snow white skin, her enchanting emerald eyes and silky golden hair that reaches her hips, all of it blends into a more beautiful and elegant beauty. Compared to average girls her age, she was quite tall, although Worm was taller, she was a head lower than worm. If Worm didnt knew her, he will probably think that Diana is an unapproachable beauty but she acts in front of him just like how a little sisters acts on their big brothers. Worm with his average face and ordinary appearance, brown hair and eyes, no one would think they would know each other at all.
Entering the restaurant, they were met with grand decorations and luxurious accessories inside, the place was dim but there was candles and chandelier brighting lightly, it gives an ambiance of peace and serenity but aside from that, almost all of the people eating inside glanced at their way. They were shocked of the beauty they saw, almost all of them though if this was an immortal descending to this mundane world. Her beauty left them stupefied, they never noticed the person standing beside the beauty, it's like he never existed. Even though he was only wearing inexpensive floral dress that reaches in his snow white knees, it greatly harmonize together with her beauty. The already dimly lit room turned seemingly bright as Diana went in. It was like the moon goddess Diana herself graces them with her presence.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Worm lips slightly curled up as he watched the scene unfolding. He already predicted this exact scenario the moment they entered. Both of them was recieved by a waiter, by both of them means Diana only, the Guy waiter escorted them to a vacant table glancing at Diana once in a while completely oblivious to Worm. Worm didn't mind and just wore his usual ordinary smile.
Diana gracefully seated hetself down when the waiter offered her the chair yet Worm can only serve himself. The waiter gave Diana a set of menu and started to wait with his pen and notebook. The waiter never gave Worm a menu but Worm wasn't bother at all and just remained smiling ordinarilly.
Diana's eye though was spectacle to look at, her eyes gleaming when she looked at the foods in the menu but there is a hint of anxiety wondering if her brother could afford this.
She looked at her brother and smiled shyly, she was about to say to transfer to another cheaper restaurant, Worm already knew her intention so he immediately ordered, interrupting her thoughts.
"We'll have 1 dish each of your specialties." Worm glanced at the waiter and smiled. The waiter was quite stunned when he heard Worm talked. He never noticed him at all, he didn't feel his presence. Although he was captivated by Diana's beauty, he wasn't that irresponsible to neglect and ignore the customer, or else he'll be reprimanded.
"Understood Sir, is there anything else?" His face red beet, he was ashamed of himself for neglecting such important customer.
"And can you also include your most expensive wine here? I want to give it to this beauty." A man with expensive clothing, punchable face and an arrogant aura suddenly chimed in and flirted right away to Diana.
Diana furrowed her eyebrows, signaling she was unpleased with this man's tone.
But the man just ignored it and instead seated down beside her.
"I am Mark, son of CEO Phillip, CEO of Gold Incorporated." Even though the man was introducing himself, he greatly emphasized on his background, aiming to indimidate her when he saw her inexpensive clothing and concluded that she must be from the middle class, besides his tone carried arrogance and superiority. This type of person was always up to no good, hitting up girls then throwing them away after being used.
Even though Diana somehow lost most of her memories, she still knew what kind of person this mas standing in front of her. Arrogant, lustful, narcisist, she already saw all of it the moment she looked into his eyes, eyes full of lust. It reflected all his disgusting traits thus Diana labeling him as a scum. Diana's gentle demure suddenlt changed into a cold one, her eyes peircing between the eyebrow of the man as if wanting to gouge his eyes out. Diana's despise this kind of people, who treated people like an object.
Worm just listened in with the same ordinary smile, but his eyes differ.
"Scram." Diana coldly muttered while coldly gazing towards Mark.
Mark faces became green as he anger started to fill him. Never once did he got rejected by a girl, it should be the other way around. He had a lot of girl dancing around his palm in the past but this was the first time someone rejected him and humiliated him in public. His pride wont allow it, his eyes burned with anger. He lost himself in his emotion as he pointed at her shouting.
"You slut, how dare you curses at me!! How dare you reject me?!! Do you know who my dad is? He is the Ceo of Gold Incorporated!! If I willed it, I can make your day a living he-" his angry shouts stopped when he was grabbed by his hand tightly, Mark grimaced in pain as he looked at the person who dares to harm him.
To Diana's surprise, it was woman around her brother age gripping the wrist of Mark while his face twisted in pain.
Worm eyebrows shot up when he saw the girl. He recognize earlier when some robbery happened, it was she who saved the thief flying through the air as Worm struck the thief bike and exploded.
Now that he inspected her carefully, she was a beauty, rivaling his sister of even surpassing her! Its not just her face that is beautiful but also her graceful body, he red hair lying gracefully in her shoulder and her deep blue mysterious eyes that seemingly cannot be solved. Worm maintained his ordinary calm smile and watched the scene silently as it unfolds.
Mark who was in pain can't hold it back much longer, first he was insulted and humiliated then now he was physically assaulted. He gritted his teeth as his eyes clouded with anger. His eye signalled madness, he looked at the girl gripping in his hands and then to Diana, he then reprimand them both.
"So you are also a slut huh?! Just wait and see till my father hear about this. We'll see who will be laughing in the end." He laughed with a hint of insanity, he then glared with hatred at them both. "Ill deal with both of you later. Ill ravage both of you to the point you'll lose your mind!! I will strip you in front of your parents and let you look at their horrified and pained expression. We will see who will laugh in the end!! HAHAHA" Mark laughed crazily as he cover his left hand to his face. His eyes filed with lust and insanity. The customer in the restaurant was long gone, they knew who the boy was. He was the notorius son the CEO Phillip, who is so crazed in sex to the point some girl even committed suicide!! Although he was arrested, he eventually regained his freedom due to his father. This is the truth of this world, strong eats the weak and the weak can do nothing about it. This is the kind of person who relies on his parents power and not his own. His future is already settled as a failuer of the family, and there will not be a single inheritance he will recieve in his life!
When Mark blinked, he found out he was sitting on the floor. He thought he was punched but there was no pain in his face. He looked at the girl who gripped his hand perviously, her hand punching out but was stopped by another. It was Worm, when she was about to punched Mark, Worm stopped her fist.
The one who was surprised the most was not Mark but Diane, although she didn't saw it all, she vaguely guessed what happened. When the woman punched, it was stopped by Worm's palm and when their fist and palm collided, it created a shockwave indicating how powerful her punch is resulting in knocking down Mark. But Worm face didn't flinched at all, and maintained his composed and ordinary smile.
The Girl was glaring fiercely at Worm, although she was shocked of his ability to stop her arms, she was still angry at Worm for stopping her punching this lowly human to death. But she thought otherwise when she saw his eyes.
Although he was still smiling, his smile no longer showed ordinariness but instead emotionless and nothingness. Not just his smile, but also his ordinary eyes became so dark like a bottomless abyss filled with malicious and ruthless ancient beasts!!
He stared indicating to let him experience much worse then being punched to death.
Worm regained his cold eyes and emotionless smile. It went back to its calm and ordinariness.
He took his sister hands then bows towards Mark.
"I'm sorry Sir, I will repay you in the future that wilk satisfy you." Worm said as he politely said towards the sitting Mark. Every person that knew Worm in 'that place' knows that this politness serves as his last good deed to that persons life.
Mark was dumbfounded and didn't even have the energy to respond.
Worm just walked out together with his Sister.

"Diane go to sleep, Im sure you are tired. Im sorry for not letting you eat delicious foods. I promise to bring you again tomorrow and assure you there will be no more trouble." Worm said as he looked at Diane lying on his futon.
"I dont care brother, as long as I am with you, I am contented." Diane warmly smiled. Worm carress her hair putting her in deep sleep.
It was 7 PM. Although it was still early, he still needed to do something. He waited until midnight came. He stood up and wore his jacket. He pulled out a metal bat out of nowhere, his eyes no longer brown but was now emanating golden color which resemble the eyes of a deity. His eyes emited terrifying glows as he looked at the direction of the house of Mark as if he was solely focused on that mansion despite the countless houses stood in the way.
He pulled and put on the hoodie on his jacket.
In the next moment, he disappeared, leaving a gust of wind.
