Paul's tone reached an all-time low when he confronted his uncle face to face.Without going round about it, he asked with gritted teeth, "Uncle, be honest with me. In this country, who else can erase traces and make it appear like there was no transfer or space-related kidnapping that happened? Who else can fulfill the condition above while also being related to Agatha? And why would he do this, huh?"Conrad was in his villa, sipping tea and unwinding from the roller-coaster mess he got himself involved in the past years when his nephew made an unexpected visit while wearing a grave face. The man almost spits his tea upon hearing the question.'What happened again?''Fred's daughter disappeared?''Paul is suspecting Fred?'The Business King of Alina City really had no idea about the mad doctor's action this time so he was dumbfounded upon being stared at by his nephew as if he was a very hated enemy. Countless thoughts flashed across and when he realized the reason, a bitter smile hu
"Eithan… Why are we looking for Mr. McArthney?" Puzzled and anxious, Irene asked him.They walked down the low staircase leading to the parking lot in the basement of the building. Worry could be made out on the actress' face too since she could see that he was making a gloomy expression.How would he answer his girlfriend who didn't really have a holistic idea of what he was and what kind of world he was living at now? The man wondered. He knew how he acted earlier in the penthouse so, in the woman's view, he probably appeared weird since he abruptly pulled her towards this place without informing her why.He remained silent for some time before he spoke in a low voice. "Irene, do you know that Ms. Silver has been kidnapped?""What?" Genuine shock immediately crossed the woman's face. What he said felt surreal to her and her body even jolted a bit on her seat.Eithan grimly nodded. Yet Irene still couldn't believe it. Even when their car left for the main road, her head was shaking a
"A wedding won't deter me from my current modus," in a party he attended with his friends, the famed bachelor laughingly popped champagne and poured himself a glass of it."You mean, your resume of competition against Paul McArthney upon his return?" interjected a flirty girl who knew some bits of knowledge of his beef with the other young tycoon.Marc hugged the slim waist of the woman and playfully landed a kiss on her luscious lips, "Babe, I like how witty you are to get my meaning almost so immediately."Pleasant laughter reverberated after. The man took a mouthful of his drink and stared outside the transparent glass wall of the bar. Looking into the distance, in the direction where Starlight's main building was located, a corner of his lips rose up.'Since Paul is back, my interest in stealing Agatha Silver from him also returned. Wouldn't it more fun now since she has become his fiancée?'Unaware that his own fiancée was near the breaking point due to the most recent turn of ev
The two were in a small but lavishly decorated residence especially bought by Governor Su for Agatha. The governor had truly become a fanatic and had no qualms burning holes in his finance to provide the most comfortable dwelling for the woman. Agatha of course rewarded him... with amnesty. After all, before the guy got brainwashed and showed his usefulness, it was an undeniable fact that he charged towards her temporary residence at Gentle Wind City to arrest her and collect back the girls she rescued. Inside the room, Cora finished hanging the beautiful curtains by the window. While setting up the fragrance atop the bedside table, she heard Agatha speak. "It's been a long journey before we reached here and since the population of this city is big, I want to start the reform here. Cora, from now on, none of you must refer to me as Goddess. Just call me Miss, and I want you to tell others to start moving." A flash of understanding flickered in the servant's face. She turned to Agat
On the Layer containing Mao's Xia Empire, the expansion of a newly birthed religion worshipping a Goddess called Ivy discreetly began, with the news yet to reach the capital. Things seemed to be proceeding nicely for Agatha there as nobody capable of threatening her life had appeared. However, that could not be said for the one left behind on the Surface Layer, at the Alina City of Country F.Actually, on the surface, it looked like everything was fine. Even in the other cities and countries, events similar to the one staged by Agatha at C Empire rarely happened, as rare as a tropical country not experiencing a rainfall for a whole year. After all, not everybody among the immoral hosts and system users was irredeemable bastards and b*tches. Like Paul said before, there were some who chose to devote their lives in researching the 'System', its powers, and its origin. They had their own ways of completing quests while dealing the most minimal damage to themselves, to others, or the
"You are Bathory." In such a world, Eithan blankly muttered a name even though the mic was already placed under his lips. He found it more dreadful how the words did not seem to reach the more than a hundred thousand people beneath the stage. Red-haired and with a noble-like disposition. She was indeed Bathory Erzebeth, the Blood Countess.She was somebody who had reigned over a county and then a country in the 1500s. Even now, the B Empire was still under her. Her feats were truly worthy of admiration.Yet right now, Eithan could feel no whatsoever awe in his heart. His brown eyes darkened as he met her gaze, knowing her appearance here was nothing short of a disaster for him."You don't need to make that kind of face, boy." After a sweet peal of laughter that briefly reverberated as Bathory Erzebeth stood up, these words fell into the ears of those aware of what was happening.The Queen of one of the western sovereignties walked slowly from the seat that she was assigned to, which
"Your answer?"Eithan' heart sunk when he heard that indifferent voice, seemingly telling that the death of one of her summons was no loss for her.u003cSystem: H-host. You're down to 1.4 million points. We, we can't fight her. Just surrender. That will lower the odds of getting killed by her since she's the type who enjoys hunting a struggling prey.u003eThe young man looked down for a while, not knowing what to think about this realization after he gave his all against a terrible foe."So… I was this weak in your eyes, huh?" he absentmindedly murmured.Bathory heard him and snickered, not denying his words. "That's why I asked you, why you haven't escaped yet."
Of course, by the main system's interference, the name mentioned was censored to normal people and only immoral hosts were able to read the actual message. The others were only annoyed that such a puzzling line froze the TV stations and ads while those the media company were alarmed that a hacker had breached their system. But not many amongst the latter were concerned about the actual message apart from some busybodies who wanted to play detectives.Bathory, as the person in question, naturally came to know about what Eithan did. And by now, given how large of a commotion the message had made outside, she could feel that the ones she was wary about were heading towards her."Boy. You really annoyed me." said the Blood Countess with furrowed brows.Bathory shook her head and then appeared right before the coll
