If there was one thing which puzzled the heck out of Agatha after she brought two people away with her, it could only be why did those two seemingly middle-leveled hosts did not respond whatsoever when she raided all of the floors of that place.
Was it that they don't give a damn about their peripheral members?
Or was it because one was too engrossed with stalling that pretty-faced guy while the other was busy watching for how long Misty would be able to endure the lack of oxygen?
She took a deep breath.
And said to herself that this reason seemed so f*cked up, but if this was really the case, she would thank the heavens because if those had teamed up against her, or if even only that guy in black had gone up to stall her for time, she didn't know what her friend would have become.
Now, Misty and that guy who led her to the hidden headquarters were already far away.
Her points down to more or less a million when she had those two broug
Agatha massaged her aching forehead.It was wee hours in the morning when the system loudly notified her of this.She felt anger rising from within because she knew it did this on purpose.Why else would it speak loudly in her mind as if it was on a megaphone? And around 2:30 am too?She had barely fallen asleep! Naturally, because her man did not let her off for coming home later than she promised. Accurately speaking, he did not let her off without doing her seven times all over the penthouse.She was tired because this morning, she went to work.This afternoon, she confronted a whole base to save Misty.Before leaving that place, as she did not want to spend a sky-high priced teleportation device on them, there were a few people whom she carried out of the place on her back and arms.Then when she went back, Paul was with her. But they didn't manage to have homemade meals done. And had to settle with deliveries.Even
When the next day dawned, instead of coming out to have his regular jogging, Eithan spent time in the kitchen trying to make something to eat.Unfortunately...[System: Do you call that a food? More like a dog puke.]"..."Eithan went silent. He could hardly thing of a retort. There was indeed smoke coming off his kitchen's stove, and the thing lying at the bottom of the casserole was nowhere near something which could be called 'food'.The system that 'saw' his twitching lips felt proud and began to flame him again.[System: I'd rather die than eat something like that. Blegh!]"..."Eithan' insides hurt.Aside from the smell, the sight too was very unbearable.So he averted his eyes.He couldn't help but wonder if all the luck he had in his body got turned into unluckiness when it comes to this skill just so a half-host like him wouldn't become too much of a game-breaker.'Why cook
"You did not sleep?"When Eithan asked this question out of the sudden, Irene turned her head his way and saw the creased on his forehead.Her eyes went back to the kid.When she realized what his question directly implied, she gasped.What kid would stay up all night?Was Eithan asking the wrong question?"... I, I didn't sleep."To her shock, the boy answered these as he slowly got up.When looked at carefully, the child did have reddish eyes.It was like he cried all night, at the same, he didn't get a wink of sleep.Irene threw Eithan a troubled glance.The man went to the bed and stood at its side.The boy noticed her and shrunk under his blanket, as if afraid of her.For what reason though?The woman became self-conscious. Did she look intimidating just now? Or was she smelling bad? Although she really did not take a bath before going here, she at least had washed up last night be
That morning, Brienne Middleton did not go to Dazzle or any company owned by her. But to a high-end luxury club called Cryptos, located in West Alina. By the entrance, the guard only looked at her briefly before allowing her entrance. She didn't stop at the receptionist desk, but went straight to the elevator. The elevator boy asked her which floor she wanted to go but instead of answering him, she pressed the button by herself, the one with the number 5 on it. Upon arriving on the fifth floor, Brienne headed left. When she stopped at room 514, she took out her membership card, and the room booked in advance opened up for her. "Hi." Brienne stood at a loss for a few moments before bowing her head lightly. "You must be Sir Gu. I am Brienne Middleton, the one who requested to meet up with Your Grace." Gentle bell-like laughter echoed in the place. Behind her, the door of the luxurious room had already closed and so the pleasant voice was
Amusement and mirth danced in the man's eyes when her face briefly turned stern and cold, must be from thinking who that next subject was."Yes, Your Grace. This time it's a real assassination and elimination request. The name is Agatha Silver, from one of the middle elite families that are now trying to catch up with us.""I think I know that person."Mr. Gomez's forehead creased, the name rang a deadly, or at least, dangerous tune in his ears. It was like he had already heard of the name before from a colleague, another immoral host."Agatha Silver used to be the acting CEO of Ever Victorious Corporation, a business empire here in Country F backed by the McArthney."He nodded.Brienne continued, "The real owner of this corporation is that Paul McArthney who disappeared three years ago and just recently returned. In his absence, the one who took over Ever Victorious was not Sir Conrad, the McArthney family head, but this woman."With
Even after sleeping for more than twenty-four hours, Misty still hadn't woken up, which Ver Drilon could only blame on her adrenaline rush on that fateful afternoon. It seemed to have been triggered by her instinct which let her easily find him even though she was under the influence.'When will you wake up, girl?'The man hadn't slept a wink too since he didn't want her to wake up only to see him asleep."Please... Wake up already..."This was what he had told the sleeping woman more than a hundred times.Why hadn't this stubborn and narcissistic beauty opened her eyes? It had been more than a day!Until when was she planning to make him die of worrying?He gritted his teeth after remembering that this woman's 'best friend' dropped by to warn him of doing something inappropriate in addition to also reminding him of why Misty ended up this way.Ver lightly squeezed the soft hand grasped by his two hands.His stool was be
South of Alina City. Specifically, in the abandoned mental hospital there.It was a very eerie night.Moonless.Starless.Clouds were so thick people would just be compelled to wonder when the rain would fall down raging from above.Under the blanket of the pure black sky, a man covered in thick layers of clothes walked into the small gate entrance escorted by one of the staffs manning this weird and uncanny place.Lights were on ahead.But on the pathways where they were currently, only the scant illumination from the masked escort's flashlight allowed the older man not to accidentally trip on stones or anything unspeakable that could cause one to slip and fall down."It's been three years since I last saw you. How can you stand guarding this place? Everyone here is either lunatic or sociopathic. Look, the place is so spooky too. When are you going to resign?"Out of boredom, the older man, Conrad McArthney began to tal
The second morning after the rescue operation...The day was nice. At least the sky was clear and the chirping of the passing birds graced the surrounding to make it appear so peaceful and full of hope.Unfortunately...Inside Ivy Adalio's bedroom, in the newly bought apartment that now looked presentable as a famous actress' house, wails and sobs could be heard, gloriously contrasting against the brightness of the day.The actress entered with a tray on hand and walked towards her own bed which was now occupied by her good friend Deborah Skyes. Facedown, the woman was crying, or at least that was what people would normally assume due to the kind of sounds she was letting out."Stop wrestling with my bed." Ivy put down the tray of sandwiches and drinks on the table next to the bed. Afterward, she placed her hands on her waist and looked at the blonde woman with mild irritation and helplessness."It's not the end of the world, Deborah. And st
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
