If Paul said he never doubted Agatha Moore' motives and origins, then he would be lying blatantly. He did. It was because of this that he had her life reviewed. He also had everyone near her investigated. In the process, he learned how different she was from her past self and what kind of life she had been living now. To be honest, she was someone who would normally not become part of his life. Agatha's identity was that low. She had no contact with the rich, had no wealth to speak of, or any special talent worthy of recognition. She's probably a woman he would only see in the streets if he ever decided to take a walk. But that itself lessens their chances of being acquainted. After all, he had a car, scratch that, cars. Why would he walk a busy street?Perhaps, their first meeting changed it all.But actually even on their first meeting, were it not for his stupid but ambitious stepmother making him go to that cheap hotel, he would not still
"Let's stay for a while, let me see your hard work."He said after glancing at his wristwatch. Its hands pointed to 4:40. Agatha nodded. She picked up the gun again and began to point at the target five meters away. Her aim was good. It seemed some of his acquaintances took care of her. Time passed. He imparted some pieces of advice on how she could improve her marksmanship. Agatha never complained of sore arms or numbness which most newbies bemoaned of. But when he saw her hands starting to get unsteady, he made her stop and brought her out of the place."You don't have to push yourself that much. You already did well."He told the girl as she half-leaned on him while walking towards his car. "Hm..." she unwillingly nodded. He didn't like it but it seemed she was really bothered by her weaknesses. She looked so eager to improve on that aspect as if being good at it would help increase her sense of security. With his dark eyes p
Meanwhile, within that same day in Maurice's side.... It had already been four days since the mayor 'agreed' to help Maurice corner the teleporter 'stalker'. The fat Abenson guy commissioned a group comprised of terrific hackers to comb out the city for the target. He also threw an order to the whole Alina City Police to kill or detain this malefic juvenile criminal once spotted. Of course, most officers didn't know what this kid did to anger the government since his profile was labeled 'highly classified information'. However, since it was an order from above, they had no choice but to comply. The tragic thing was, they even had to compete or cooperate with the underworld people to look for the target.Yet unfortunately, none of them ever saw the kid. Or even when they saw him, he always managed to easily slip away. This made Maurice think that the last four days had been very stressful and unpleasant. She lost count of how many times her temper explode
"Hello, Miss Prettiest!"Greeted the grinning boy to her. Yes, it was the same detestable host that she badly wanted to tear into pieces! He appeared right in front of her just when she was about to go crazy from looking for him! It was at the top of the Cryptos, a regular sophisticatedly designed social club for people with money and some influence. She set the club as the rendezvous place since it was frequented by those from the upper society and the underworld.When Maurice saw the boy waving a hand at her with a wide grin on his face, her eyes widened and her hands instantly reached out to the long knife hidden underneath her knee-length skirt. "You dare to appear before me!"She angrily shouted while taking out the weapon. The boy, of course, saw her action but did not react to it. Instead, he answered her question, "Why not? I'm your avid stalker. I'm afraid you already forgot my face so I'm here showing it again
Most of them remembered firing so many bullets which hit the walls and other pieces of furniture. However, when they checked, the wall clearly had no damage aside from the holes and none of the weapons used today used gunpowder. Actually, no modern firearms used that anymore. So where did the smoke come from? And why was it concentrated on the corpse?At this train of thought, one of the tattooed baldies finally called out,"Lady Boss. Something's odd."Another one added,"Yeah. Something's not right here. I seem to be seeing something on the walls.""Idiot! Stop! Don't say it! Boss is currently happy!"The young police officer replied, his expression weird."But there's really something on the walls. Are you people pretending to be blind? Or illiterate?""You rascal!"Their bickering made Maurice sober up. Her laughter died down and her serious expression returned. She swept an icy glan
Just when Maurice was crazily ordering everyone to search for the boy, Agatha, who just recovered from the shock caused by her failed hypnosis, was now dazedly looking at the man beside her. She asked herself whether she heard him correctly.'H-he said he prepared a surprise for that woman?''When he said that woman, it could only be Maurice, right?''W-wait! He wants to attack that crazy and immoral girl?'Ignoring the voice in her head which reminded her that she was also just as immoral as the other girl, when Paul 's words finally registered in her brain, Agatha's lashes trembled, her eyes showing deep worry. She couldn't stop herself from panicking and before she knew it, she was already checking her List of Partners tab. How she hated that it only said, 'Paul wanted to teach Maurice Jensen a lesson, commands given to his assistant!'She tried to pry more information out of the system. Infuriatingly, it wanted her to pay 10,000 points for it! Agatha didn't know why, but it see
'I may be a fool, but not blind as to not see your insincerity. Also, what kind of topic-changing is this?'In reality, Agatha's intelligence had already been upgraded. Only, her emotions sometimes get in the way, thus, limiting her intellectual processes. Now that she somehow hypnotized herself to focus on incapacitating the enemy, her mind remained calm hence she could easily analyze what was hidden between the lines. Somehow, she saw the her who confronted Aeron Holmes at the corridor of their academy. Unfortunately, she had to be driven to a corner to force out the witty b*tch within her.'All along, I've been wondering why she didn't show herself and make a move against me after the Monday incident. Now I see, so it's this new host that preoccupied Maurice.''And she's probably losing if the other is higher in level.'A hint of gloating showed in her eyes. And when she answered, it was not about her proposal, but something different. "Miss Jensen, you did it again," she giggled.
Agatha tried her best to focus on the opponent while firing at her. Unfortunately, all her bullets missed. Maurice also rendered her afraid since she could even dodge them at close distance. In fact, she could still feel her scalp numbing after witnessing her opponent sliced the bullets in half using a long knife!She thought, this simply should not continue!So with her heart that was growing cold every passing second, she shouted, "Paul , close the door!"The man called widened his eyes in surprise, wondering if the girl said it in order to stop potential interrupter. Or because she knew he could deal with the gunmen who were trying to rush outside. Anywa
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
