"Mr. McArthney?"
The presenter finally recovered his senses. Confusion was all over his face when everyone's eyes turned to him with sarcasm, mockery, disapproval, and amusement. There were even hidden messages which he couldn't comprehend. Tempted and unnerved, he was about to check if there was something wrong in his face when a deathly glare from his backer made him stiffen in place.Questions appeared in his mind then.'What happened?''Why is everyone suddenly like this?''A while ago they're still throwing me admiring glances.''Just what the heck happened that even Mr. Sinclair looks to be dying to kill me?''... I remember only permitting the prettiest girl here to ask questions...'
A few seconds later, while still being frozen in place by everyone's mixed but mostly scorning glances, his hazy mind cleared, enabling him to remember what he just did. He looked around again, cold sweats running down his spinAgatha ignored her and instead roamed her eyes around again."I'm sorry for the sudden interruption. I just found Mr. Goldwin's question stupid because the clues were already in front of him, yet he still asked.""What do you mean?"With a raised eyebrow, the man mentioned abandoned his old sitting posture, leaning forward to the table with two hands clasped. Before Agatha replied, she secretly gave Paul an apologetic look. She knew one of the reasons why he made that decision was her eye signal. That most likely showed her puzzlement on why he was tolerating the current presenter.This was why she told herself, 'I have to clean this up.'"Mr. Sinclair is colluding with this presenter."She declared with conviction before adding,"There is actually no need for any more background check. Even if you are not Mr. McArthney, it will be easy to realize this. You just have to look at the two company's proposals. I'm r
Mr. Sinclair was just about to take his words back when Paul's cold glare shut him up again."You done?"The demon magnate asked. Despite being seated, the younger man seemingly appeared taller than any mountain in Mr. Sinclair's eyes. Couple with the other's glare, the fat shareholder felt himself turning so small. He no longer had any way out, he realized. Now, he could only regret why he allowed a devil to possess him to actually dared to plan against this monster. Not looking anymore at the middle-aged pig sweating buckets from his icy glances, Paul said,"You wasted so much of everyone's time with your nonsense. Do you know that?"Paul signaled the one in charge with the projector to take down the current slides. After Paul saw the next representative nervously preparing, he looked down to the documents on the table. Without sparing the despairing old fatty another glance, he stated,"Somewhere in this world, Mr. Sinclair, there'
The sun outside was gradually nearing the horizon on the west side of the world hence the color of the sky was also changing its hue every passing minute. It was no longer as clear and sky blue as a few hours ago because it turned into a harmonious color palette of red and orange tones. Still beautiful, but subtly reminding everyone that within two hours, the brightest source of light every daytime would be retiring for the night.'She's still not here?'Paul asked himself since Agatha had not yet returned even after ten minutes. The one talking to him about a branch of a mall to be opened at Jasper City cleverly stopped when he saw Paul frowning at his wristwatch, only continuing when the man raised his head again. To the middle-aged mustached man's relief, Paul did not abandon their discussion for whatever had distracted him earlier. Their talk smoothly ended and though only one of them was smiling when they parted ways, it was already the envy
Without him knowing, the woman left behind by him was staring at his back with seriousness on her face. Her posture was already corrected, and she was no longer faking feeling hurt by the collision. Now when looked closely, even though she appeared solemn, her eyes were actually giving off a menacing vibe. It was quite a contrast to the easy-going look she was sporting half an hour ago.<System: Host, it seemed that he's immune to your mind-control.>It said when nothing happened to the man even though he directly gazed into her slightly glowing pair of orbs. The woman wearing a black long dress who should have departed already for her flight narrowed her eyes which had just flashed with a dangerous gleam.She called out,'...System.'The entity replied shortly,<System: Hmm?>Its tone was suggesting that it was waiting for her next words.'Agatha Mo
Time passed that he was only frowning while massaging his forehead as he stood at the end of the short corridor. In front, there were two people arguing. In fact, the shorter one was showing so much cold anger in her face like any given second, her palm would fly on the other's cheeks. The other appeared to be purposely annoying the first, and if the pain was not only bothering his brain so much, Paul would have probably crossed the remaining distance and shoulder-threw him down the floor. Initially, he found it odd that this particular scene triggered a great wave of memories inside his brain. But now he knew why, and why he kept on getting deja vus in the past two months...'If these set of memories are correct, it's then telling me that my Baby is a host too?'The frown was still on his face when he asked himself too,'Why am I suddenly having this set of memories?'He gritted his teeth. The pain wa
A little more than five minutes had passed and the two were finally on their way to the laboratory. They left a minute after the woman Paul called arrived. They no longer knew what took place thereafter. But Agatha's face was cold. She was already away from the pest, but her mood did not recover. The girl couldn't forget what that fierce female elitist had said when she turned to Paul and saw her behind him.'Cradle-snatcher.'Yes, that was what that whoever beautiful fiancee of Marc Goldwin called Paul. A cradle-snatcher, a person married or in a sexual relationship with someone younger. The woman must be of a great standing if she could speak to him like this. Great for her. But the female immoral host didn't like that this newcomer called him that. While this could be said true due to him being six or seven years older than her, because that woman's tone was clearly full of disdain, Agatha couldn't get it out of her mind and her heart was very
As Agatha was in the middle of her own emotional turmoil, her system also did not let this opportunity to slip and gladly reminded her that without him, the great and exalted system, she would have never had a chance to experience standing in front of those higher-ups or stand next to a Paul McArthney and be recognized as a daughter of a fairly influential family. It enumerated every reason it could think of why she was nothing compared to Brienne. However, Agatha was too preoccupied with something she couldn't name, so she didn't respond to it. Anyway, the girl already understood what it wanted to tell her long ago so instead of having herself be incensed by its words, she only told herself that she couldn't let things continue this way.'No! He's the only one I have. I can't lose him too!'She thought as she secretly bit her lower lip.'That Brienne is luckily already engaged to someone.''But what if in the fut
Meanwhile, Paul, who was watching the scene in front, asked,"Before this, did your people do surgery on her?"Lauren immediately replied,"Oh? Now that you asked this, yeah. We did. This morning, we took out her kidneys. And it's two, if you're thinking of one. And guess what? We just found out," she paused, grimacing for a second, "...my mistake, I mean, confirmed that she could regenerate body parts!"Gone was the annoyance in the woman's face after saying this. Only extreme excitement was there. Lauren was like a kid who discovered a very magical world in an amusement park. Verifying that there was really someone who could heal without the support of the current science and technology marveled her so much. The woman's body was radiating madness and happiness. Her eyes sparkled in anticipation of what more mysteries she'd discover inside this fine specimen's body. Of course, her number one priority was to discover how the specimen regener
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
