“What are you doing? Gary is innocent. He and he is been doing fine all these year. Are you doing this to take revenge on his mother?” Nian asked as her face turned pale.“That stupid bitch isn’t worth it,” Victoria snorted coldly.“Then, what do you want?”“Isn’t Max around here? I heard he’s a smart young man. He will be able to help Gary be a better leader if he comes with me,” As she stroked this little silver snake on her wrist Victoria said, “How about we make a deal? I will give you Max's dumb sister back if you let me take him away.”“That’s not going to happen!” Eliana yelled at Victoria. “You can’t take my brother away, evil witch!”“Would you mind shutting your mouth, little girl?” Victoria asked sternly.Then Nian patted Eliana on the shoulder and told her to be quiet. And she thought to herself, ‘There are only Victoria and fee mercenaries on the deck. However, I suspect that dozen of people are hiding all over the ship, including at least two snipers. If we fight with th

At that moment, Eliana was eating a snack on the couch in his office. She said, “You frowned again, Max. You are only sixteen and that makes you look like an old man.”“’Don’t you have to go to school today?” Max asked as he sighed.“I decide to take the day off. My nightmares are still haunting me, you know.”Max shook his head helplessly. He thought, ‘But you don’t like you’re in a shock at all. You just look for an excuse to skip school. Am I right, Eliana? Never mind. You’re not fit to force school anyway. And our family is well-off. So, you can still get by without going to school or working.’Having collected his thoughts, Max said, “So, you think about how you are going to promote instant noodles for me. Remember that you signed a contract with me. I will not
