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."

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
Meanwhile, a young man, or perhaps, a big boy with a lean body and a height of around 5 feet and 9 inches entered the exhibition hall. Even though he wore a nice white buttoned-up shirt and a pair of black slacks, immaturity still reeked of his body. Which maybe could have been lessened if it was not for the stupid red cap on his head. The cap was even pulled down to hide half of his features. It was around ten am in the morning. The museum was quite popular hence there were already a few visitors this early. Some of them looked over to him and all of these people were shocked to find the curator of the museum bowing down respectfully to the odd boy. "Who is he?" One of the madams in a fashionable get up whispered in a low voice to the other ladies in their forties. Apparently, these middle-aged ladies came together to enjoy some great works of art in this reputable place. The rest of the madams and those also near them looked at the subject of their curiosity. The one who sated
Deborah Skyes, the prized idol of Starlight, separated with her manager and climbed out of the company van. It was almost seven in the evening. They had just finished work today.Her manager drove her to the condominium where she was renting a place. It might have sounded weird that a popular idol like her was renting a place, but actually, the reason behind it was that she was waiting for the house she commissioned with a construction firm to be finished. By the estimate the representative told her, it would take another two months before she would be able to move in.A few minutes later, as the twenty-one years old beautiful blonde woman went out of the elevator and walked towards her own unit, she sighed,'It's actually quite a challenge to be an actress... On my first scene alone, I got seven NGs. Am I that terrible?'Her face crumpled in irritation as she remembered how that Director Dave looked at her last NG.It was as like if the company backing her didn't have Agatha Silver a
While trying to get away from the person she thought was her friend, Deborah's eyes turned round."Y-you... Who are you? You're not with them!""But I am one of them. In a sense."Ivy giggled.After taking a deep breath without straying her eyes off of the blonde, she added."You know so much. For a normal human, you are too knowledgeable. It means they're placing you a bit more importance than expected, eh? I wonder if you have now realized that if I want, I won't waste so much time forcing the truth out of your mouth."Deborah shrunk her body while she began to tear up.The woman did know stuff that some normal humans from that place didn't know.The reason she was let off was not her beauty but her sensibility.Beauty was fleeting for those beings as she reckoned that it was something very easy for them to achieve.That guy who first enjoyed her before making her spy on this city valued her for her intell
The turn of events these past few days was quite like a roller-coaster ride.A day after Agatha returned with Paul to Alina City, Amanda and Misty also appeared at the airport.Misty was kidnapped, then rescued.Unfortunately, for a reason unknown to both all the hosts on Agatha's side, the woman fell into a seemingly indefinite coma.The morning after that day, Irene learned that Eithan was temporarily sheltering a kid rescued from the desert base of the organization.As for Agatha, she checked on Misty again, only to find that she was still unconscious.Lastly, Brienne Middleton, Irene's older sister went to Crypto for a meet up with a higher-up of the mercenary association she had contacts with last time. After the talk which mostly had to do with Irene, the woman ended up toyed in bed by that higher-up called Mr. Gomez, another promiscuity system host.When the next morning came, Aljur, the one who tumbled in bed with Brienne woke
Time flies without anyone noticing, and just like it was already four days since Misty fell unconscious. Ver woke up after a three hour long sleep and then began looking again for Misty's figure.She was still lying in the bed, unconscious, her breathing that was steady, slow, and almost barely noticeable told him that she was still alive, and perhaps, fighting, no matter what kind of fight she was currently facing."What time is it?" His head felt very fuzzy.He lacked sleep, badly. For more than three days he didn't even dare wink in fear that the woman in the bed would show movement. He was afraid to miss that.In other words, the three hours he had just now was the only sleep he had ever since they returned from C Empire.Not even Eithan could hold a candle to his perseverance since that man at least managed to get an hour or two every day in his week-long stay at Country Y."Sir Drilon. It's 5:17 am in the morning."At the same t
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
