'This version of this pretty-faced dog seemed to be the ideal him that I have in my mind, the one I'm wishing for every time that he annoys me.'
She felt her chest tightened under her corset..
It was so suffocating to breathe.
The precious stone lying above it felt so heavy, yet because of its weight that she realized something very obvious from the very beginning.
The walk in the gardens resumed. Sabel was behind them, ensuring no harm would fall upon Misty.
One instance, the guy tried to play a prank on Misty's personal maid by throwing a thin dried branch that he got from who knows where. As the older woman jumped around and screamed 'Snake! Snake!', looking away from them a few seconds, the playful ducal heir whispered to her ears,
"... I can't wait to see you in a white bridal gown floating down the aisle towards me."
That time, she didn't know why she suddenly saw the illusion of 'him' saying the same thing, in a threat
In the world outside the dream...It was already the fourth day since Misty entered a comatose state. Like always, Ver was next to her. The man had to thank his system that it could also purify his exterior, or else, he would have stunk badly by now for not bathing for four days.Since the happenstances this early morning, Ver had turned somehow quiet, mostly silently watching over the sleeping woman. From time to time, his heart would jump out of his chest whenever he felt like he saw her lashes or fingers moving. But unlike earlier where he almost fought it out with the doctor, he only calmly looked at how things would unfold.Of course, never did he stop hoping for the woman to open her eyes.Sometimes he would still talk to Misty, treating her not like a patient, but a naughty girl who kept pretending that she was asleep.Out of a sudden, a voice rang, seemingly coming out of nowhere. The being inside his brain couldn't help but r
The eerie existence appeared funny in Paul's eyes.It had most likely died with some heavy resentment towards the world and was out for revenge. But because of physical limitation, there were many things that it couldn't do.Even if it already managed to take revenge against the people who killed it, there was still no doubt that it held insuppressible desire to live again. Why else would it desperately try to take over someone else's body?'Since it had no qualms killing off a living human's spirit, it was definitely already corrupted and evil.'This was the reason why Paul thought it was a funny existence and spoke without mercy to it.A corner of his lips tugged up.He watched as the shadow moved to the left. Its feet were connected to the shadow of the bed by Misty's feet. It was just that the owner of the shadow appeared like it was from someone standing in front of him.The sight made Paul wondered, 'Is this going to appear in t
Misty's family didn't know of her current condition. No, they didn't even know that she was back to Alina.Likewise, Amanda too was not aware. All she was informed was that the woman had to leave for a very urgent matter regarding her boyfriend. Heck, her phone calls couldn't even go through.This was why even though she discovered that her sister was now very rich and could properly support a hundred of her, she couldn't take joy about it at all.She was very worried.'Sighs, that fierce Amazona really knows how to make people restless and anxious for her...'A couple of days passed since she went back to Alina.She had a tearful reunion with Agatha, but most of it was due to Misty suddenly disappearing.Even now, despite the cryptic message sent to her by the woman, she couldn't put her heart at ease.If there weren't matters distracting her, mostly about university transferal procedures and ID processing, she would have sunk
"Ah, I'm sorry. I would have to leave for a while. It seems my colleague needs help."Amanda came back to her senses due to that voice. She saw that the other on the receptionist desk was signaling for Cora so she nodded. The kind lady left shortly after a bow.A minute passed and because of the call of nature, Amanda had to leave her comfortable seat and go to the restroom. Thankfully, the lady janitress she had asked was nice and kindly taught her where the place was.'What an intimidating ambiance...'The girl had mostly mingled with normal students so she was really in awe of this place where professionals and beautiful people seemed to be everywhere.Was she okay to be here? Her face was above average too. But she was only an 8 pointer; nowhere close everyone here who was mostly around 9 points in appearance.'Damn! I pity my heart. It's not easy to not be conscious of one's face value in a place like this!' She thought, her inner voice
Ivy laughed at the woman who hurriedly walked out of the automatic door. From behind her, two people caught up, with one of them softly tapping on her shoulder.It was someone Amanda also saw on the commercials earlier. They said she was the Queen of Primetime. The term was not people from Country J usually used, but if she understood it correctly, it referred to shows aired between 8 pm to 11 pm.For a brief second, the companion of the woman who tapped on Ivy's shoulder turned to them. She didn't know why, but that brief action made Amanda's heart almost stop.She caught sight of the good-looking cold-faced man from the male cologne ad earlier, the person that left quite a strong impression on her.He wore a coffee-colored suit over a black striped T-shirt, paired with black pants and Browns dress shoes. The guy looked imposing, probably due to his expression and height.Yet what really struck Amanda's nerves was her sense of familiarity with thi
"Thank you very much, Sis. I love you!""You take care. Don't stay up late."Amanda radiated happiness after spending some time with her sister. With bags in her hands, the girl happily waved both hands at Agatha whose face was showing through the open window of the car. The latter laughed as the paper bags in her sister's grasp also slightly shook in the air."What a lively girl."After ensuring that the girl safely entered the house and that Dylan was nearby acting as the bodyguard, she ordered the driver to take her to Starlight.The moment she arrived at the meetup place, she didn't glance at the smiling face of Ivy nor Eithan who looked like a macho middle-aged man.Her eyes only scanned the other woman in the place. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Soft features that could easily lift up the mood whenever she was smiling and evoke endless pity and gloom from the hearts of other viewers if she was in a downcast mood.'It's funny that a sn
"That a*shole slacked off, right?"Spoke a young man wrapped in black pants and white shirt. Like everyone else in the organization, he wore a chain necklace with a black pendant shaped like the character 'C'."For sure." The one who replied was a voluptuous beauty with long wavy Browns hair. Annoyance could be seen from her face, displeased at the subject of their conversation."This is why it should have been me sent to Country F.""Blame yourself for being late. That guy surnamed Gomez arrived first at the meeting place hence he was the one assigned to the job."The two walked down the long hallway. From time to time, normal people and lower-ranked members bowed to them as a sign of respect for core members like them.The man frowned.He disliked the presence of others, especially non-hosts.But since they were asked to meet up with the other core members in the deepest part of this underground base and could not directly te
On the other hand, while the puzzling exchange of words was taking place somewhere in C Empire, Agatha and the others had long arrived in the capital, Jasmine City. And no, they were not together. They all split up since apart from the two men not liking the presence of each other, it would be stupid and a waste of time and resources if they all stick together.Agatha assumed her usual disguise and mixed with the city people like a pro. Meanwhile, Eithan did not go far; the man only agreed to assist them and would not truly dive into the enemy's territories with her to which the other party have no qualm at all. This was her mission, not his, in the first place. As a matter of fact, it was already nice that the guy promised to help in the name of friendship. However, she made him look after the spy. He was also to assume her job and make that blonde spit out the real reason for her appearance at Country F. Maybe if they got lucky, the girl would turn out to be a member of greater impo
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
