"Do you have any questions, my dear?"Agatha's cheeks lightly reddened at the intimate calling, nonetheless, she answered,"Ahm, my apologies. I was just wondering why you're going all this way to oppose them? I can tell I'm somehow part of the reason, and I somehow don't get why."Cindy studied her expression a bit before saying,"You're wondering why we're also acting good to you?"The girl honestly nodded."Well, this is why we like you. You have the potential to be a good lady or businesswoman someday. You already know not to trust or believe in free lunches. You also know how to conduct yourself. But actually, we just simply like you. Of course, we won't deny we have some ulterior motives. After all, we can see how that McArthney heir care for you."Cindy lightly chuckled in a way that made Agatha wonder how she could look carefree yet classy.Her new mother continued,"Speaking of that young man. Sometimes I can't honestly believe that he fancies a girl way younger than him. He'

Most were spent on information, some on consumables. Thinking of this, she supported her chin with her left hand, her right hand softly drumming her armchair with her pen. Her mind brainstormed on how she could smartly spend the remaining points.She stiffened for a while, but then
'Hey system, when will this skill appear on my interface?' She asked in her mind while clenching her teeth. Two practice bullets consecutively landed on the target board five meters away. However, both only struck a 5, which could be perfectly justified by the fact that this was her first day of training.The system's reply made her feel helpless. She'd been shooting for hours yet she only hit 5 seven times. Of course, Agatha knew she was just starting. However, she couldn't help the feeling because she was anxious about whether Maurice and other hostile parties would wait for her to learn the skill."You're doing good. It seems you have some talent for this, Miss Silver," complimented one of the young men nearby.All of them were in a very spacious room filled with partitioned off-stalls. Everyone was wearing earplugs and eye protection. "I don't think so. But thanks," she politely said before she went back to practice.Daniel Miller, the one who spoke earlier, didn't mind her per
It was Saturday but because he had some scheduled meetings, Paul had to leave Agatha at the shooting range for work. Thirty minutes later, he arrived at his office at the top floor of Ever Victorious building, Central Alina. He strode into the conference room, the tolerant and compromising man was no longer present, only a cold business suit wearing magnate was. After he took his seat, presentations from other companies started. All these people did their best to impress him and the other shareholders so that their companies could establish a business relationship with the McArthney. From time to time their eyes lurked to Paul to probe his reactions. Unfortunately, the man was not letting anything register on his face. For every report though, his ever merciless mouth never failed to lash out, causing the conference to end with more than 80 percent of the proposals harshly rebuked and trashed by Paul."Sir, the Florence Corp hopes you reconsider their proposal.""You mean, that ma
His face became dark, he considered whether to punished Jone for giving him something stupid like this. However, his curiosity still acted up so he double-clicked it and let the sound play. Of course, he did this after phoning his main assistant to track where the package comes from. Not long after, an unfamiliar feminine voice echoed within his office."I'll make this message short, Mr. McArthney. I can't reach the bitch through normal ways. She had me blocked so I here I am, reaching out to you. Don't worry, all you have to do is tell Agatha Moore to meet me tonight at Cryptos, at 7 pm. If you want, tag along. But if she doesn't come, I'm telling you, I'm going to declare total war against her! I'm sure you both know I'm not someone you two can deal with!"Paul's left brow rose at her declaration. Now he was sure this girl was that Maurice Jensen and he doesn't like this woman's boastful tone. Her proud attitude irked something badly within him. Who was she to say he could not deal
Exactly four days ago, due to some weird reasons, Eithan woke up feeling groggy and his head ached so much that he really felt like dying. "Damn! Did someone hit me on the head with a bat or anything hard?" he complained, furrowing his brows at the pain that overwhelmed him.Moments later, after hugging his head for a minute or two, he started feeling dizzy. Memories he couldn't initially remember came rushing in, prompting him to not know which was which. There were two sets of memories playing in his mind. And because they're contrary to each other, his brain couldn't tell which one to acknowledge as real.The first told him that after he saw the real Misty flee, he ended up spending a night at a hotel. This seemed to be the more logical one as he had indeed woke up in an unfamiliar room. When he also walked out of the room, he saw an elevator nearby which obviously his house or any other normal house couldn't possibly have. It was around 7:30 am. After checking himself out and see
"Eithan Meyer! You're so crazy, huh? You have the cheeks to go to class at 9:40 am?"The fat History teacher reprimanded the guy for the umpteenth time. As it turned out, this was not the first time that Eithan disregarded their class schedule, and it will definitely be not his last. The gloomy-faced bloke only stared back at him, then recited the apology line taught to them since elementary,"Sorry teacher, sorry classmates, I'm late."His indifference was clear for all eyes to see so naturally it only made the teacher angrier. His attitude towards tardiness shows no trace of politeness nor sincerity. Unfortunately, no matter how frustrated the subject teacher was, there was nothing else he could do anymore. Since he was already well aware that regardless if he would give the other party a piece of his mind, it would only fell on deaf ears. Besides, the man in question had already sat at the back, leaving the fat man with no choice but hammer the table with his fist."Hey, what happe
When lunch break came, he first made sure Maurice Jensen was not at the cafeteria before he headed in. After all, even if he made it appear like it was just an accident, in the end, he still caused a perfectly fine phone dive into a dirty water canal. Who knows if that infamously two-faced woman already bore a grudge against him because of that?"Better be safe than sorry", he said to himself. Though it's shameful to admit, she was stronger than him. It was a lesson learned after their short tug-of-war yesterday.After ordering a meat and vegetable meal set, he quietly carried his tray to a table near the corner. He purposely chose a two-seater table. To ensure no one would bother him in his lunch, he left the tray on the vacant seat opposite his. Unfortunately, not even five minutes passed and an uninvited trouble threw that pitiful tray somewhere just to take the seat for herself. His frowning face looked up. And there she was, the trouble he tr
When the troops of the God’s Domain stepped onto the Imperial Capital’s soil, the common folks on both sides of the road sprinkled fragrant petals from within their hands. As for the guardsmen that were standing above the city walls, they set off festive fireworks, and the melodious sound of a trombone resonated throughout the entire horizon.The sky was ravaged with fireworks as they blossomed above in broad daylight. Even if it was still daytime, after undergoing the modification of magicians, the fireworks still blossomed with radiance that was dazzling to the eye.The monarch of the Long Xuan Empire personally brought a troop to welcome the sage, and when everyone prostrated down in worship, the monarch welcomed the sage into the Imperial Palace.The liveliness that was accompanied by the clamor was
When Taka made her move on the Suzaku Clan, due to the theory that ‘one shouldn’t do anything to harm one’s neighbors’, she had only had a little test of her skill and had not been too heartless by exploiting them too much. As for the other three big clans, however, it was an entirely different story. She saw no reason for reservation so she basically went full force on themThe reason for her doing what she’d done was to truly seize an opportunity that had presented itself! Her ferocity had exponentially increased until it was capable of making one’s hair stand up in anger.For example, on a certain young master’s bedside that was from the Azure Dragon Clan, where the 7-star sword was hung, the lavish scabbard of the sword had been entirely cleaned of its dazzling precious stones and its gilded golden ornaments was not
Ryu, on the other hand, figured that he would not be able to afford to have another mishap inside his own household, especially not before they were able to secure the invitation of the sage. Thus, he immediately sent his most trustred people to have the Snow Spiritual Fox delivered to the God’s Domain. Not long afterward, he then received information that the other party had arrived from the God’s Domain.In ten days, the sage of the God’s Domain would personally proceed towards the Long Xuan Empire, to the Suzaku Clan, in order to rouse the Phoenix. This one piece of information had everyone from the Suzaku Clan crying tears of joy. Their hundred years of misery would finally be seen through to an end.Within the next ten days, everyone put out an extreme amount of effort, and it was a rarely seen sight where the elders and the youngst
On the flip side, Taka stood at the entrance of the Qilin Auction House. Upon seeing the rear view of the attendant leaving, Taka’s hand subconsciously reached out to touch that little face of hers that had changed beyond recognition.The result of the low-level face-altering potion was pretty good. Although the effectiveness was shortened by that bit for that given period of time, it was just enough to conform to her requirement for the three hours were enough for her to have those goods delegated. If there was even more effectiveness for a given period of time, she truly would not know how she would carry that kind of face back to the Suzaku clan.The present Taka’s facial appearance was slightly better when compared to her original and she figured it was due to a huge difference in skin care regime. Not only was her skin right now was slightly fa
Since she had already set the Qilin Auction House as the target, Taka then couldn’t help but make the next step of planning. Although there were very less people who had seen the shame of the Suzaku clan, it was hard to say that she would not be recognized by the people of the Qilin clan at other locations sometime later. Therefore, Taka had decided on the spot to go to another auction house in advance and used the money that she had and bought a few bottles of face altering potion.The face-altering potion was a rather common kind of medicine and it can be divided into three grades which were the ‘low’, ‘middle’ and ‘high’. Different subdivisions of the face altering potion, of course, would all have a varying duration depending on its grade. Likewise, the duration of its ability to hold a disguise as well their price would have even more disparity. On that night,
As of now, Taka’s main problem was precisely money!The only sole thing that made Taka rejoice was that she had picked a proper ‘occupation’ for herself at that time, the godly thief, don’t you think so?! With regards to her, this kind of thing called money was like a rock on the floor, that could be seen just about everywhere. If she had not widened her horizons at that time by being a hitman, a spy and so on, it would have been very likely that she could only silently stay at that dim corner and constantly dawdle about there!“Isn’t it just 30000 pieces! You can be at ease for by the means of this young master’s skill, I will definitely make you eat till you feel like throwing up!”With regards to her workmanship, Taka was quite confident in herself. What was more wa
‘Didn’t I say that it would have inhibitions on your strength. Undoing the first layer of seal is only but the beginning. If you want to become stronger, then you have to continue to undo the later seals. In this way, not only you can continue advancing but also, those strength that was previously inhibited would subsequently gush out.’ Linux’s voice was still the same as before where it was tranquil without any ripple and a hint of chilliness was carried together.“Then, what is needed to undo the second layer of seal?” Taka asked.Linux went silent for a moment and then only said one statement, ‘Demonic Beast’Demonic beasts were vicious organisms that were scattered everywhere across the Radiance Continent and resided
“Taka. You have fairly done well!”Agnar distressingly looked at the daughter of his which was still at the bosom. If it was not for the fact that Ryu was here at this moment, it was very likely that he would have already long ago pounced Taka and ripped her apart into fragments.As Abiri had Taka protected behind his back, he looked at Agnar and said,“Second uncle, why do say such a thing? Just what had this matter got to do with Taka?”“How could it be that she is unrelated to this matter? Jesse was injured in her room and it is very clear that it is this vile spawn that has harbour this evil intention wanting to injure Jesse!”No matter how Ryu was to think about it, Agnar had always fr
Just at that moment when Taka was inwardly wiping away her tears, in a rage, Jesse, who had been ignored by Abiri had killed her way into the room.The moment when she entered into the room, she immediately saw that pile of presents on top of the table and that pair of eyes of hers which filled with anger had momentarily became red in jealousy.“You, idiot, on what basis had you made Brother Abiri treat you that well! You are simply just a trash! Idiot! Even the most inferior servant within the mansion is one hundred times stronger than you! You simply do not deserve to have Brother Abiri’s items!”Gripping her fist tightly, Jesse tenaciously glared at Taka who was sitting on top of the bed where within the eyes of hers was the unwillingness that had practically burnt away all of her rational
