Her system did not reply. It couldn't believe that its advice was ignored. At the same, it also found her silly for doing all of this just to see how capable her target was. Whilst the woman continued smiling and staring at the building as if she could see everything happening within. After a short while, she even added,
'Look, not even thirty minutes passed and he already had his men sent to the floor where the contestants stay. I thought it'll take him two hours at least. And his underlings are efficient, cold-blooded and powerful too. The poor girl who replaced me there is shot to death without mercy! Haha!'
She finally looked away from the upper floors of the Victory Hall and went back to eating. Her mood was very good when she said,'Actually I have two goals. Unfortunately, the first is an epic fail because I didn't even hear his voice even though I threatened him with Conrad's name. Haha. It's sad but not everyth
Agatha's first encounter with the system was after she found herself being rescued from drowning, only to realized that her soul shifted to another person bearing the same name as hers.Well it could be said that the system appeared and saved them during the darkest period of her life. Both of them, she and the other Agatha, has a despair of their own. Whilst her perfect little life came to crumble down after discovering the secret affair of her fiancee and best friend behind her back, the other Agatha was wallowing about her helpless life buried in debt. A problem passed on to her after her soul entered to this body. Before she knew it, a huge debt was suddenly thrown at her shoulders and it was an amount that she would never be able to pay if she had continued being a normal student.If she had never been bound to the system and met Paul, then undoubtedly her debt collector would be hunting her by now. The worst case she had conjured in mind when
"Agatha."She nodded, her eyes feverishly looking at him. "Here.""I have a meeting at 3 pm. We don't have much time. Baby, get up from the bed now. Take a shower and dress up. It's already past 12 so let's just eat outside."Unfortunately, Agatha's mind already went to a slightly grey area so she didn't reply.Since he was the only one who stayed for her, her thoughts were all about how to not let him go. Her eyes went down to his broad and slightly callused hand, this hand that grasped hers when she was in the two darkest periods of her life. Ignoring the confusion on his face, she held it tightly using her two small hands. All she was thinking of was to never let go of it...so he would also not be able to leave her.A second later, a particular scene in the past played in her memories, reminding her of how he said he was hers. Then she realized, he wouldn't actually be going away by himself
When the girl heard him saying he'd bring her to his company after lunch, she probably only assumed that he would leave her to his office or the lobby then go to the conference room by himself. This was why she only applied light makeup and put on a modest green dress that reached to her knees. Her beautiful glossy and long hair exuding a floral scent and swaying behind her so gracefully like waterfalls were let down. There was no extra decoration on it. The only thing not light on her was probably her lips colored in blood red which despite its striking color was only as prominent as her soul-stirring eyes. She looked very young. Nonetheless, her face and aura somehow exuded maturity which also mysteriously had a tinge of freshness only present to young women aged seventeen to nineteen years old. Her body which already received lots of love from him became quite developed and now in clothes that hugged her figure, she looked still at her age, but more poised and appealing than many
Within the half hour that passed, the number of presenters that had stood in front grew proportionally with the number of presentations Paul and the other board members had rejected. Within this timeframe, there were moments when she was daydreaming or thinking things through. The visit to the laboratory had never left her mind.Time passed and as the bespectacled young man continued talking, Agatha's mind just couldn't stay in one place. It was because all of a sudden, she remembered the list she sent to Paul some time ago. It was the long column of names of business spies and all sorts of people that wanted to sabotage and semi-cripple the McArthney Conglomerate. If she was not mistaken, not few were shareholders and trusted tenured employees. Since she was already here, why not help him sort and straighten these people out?In Agatha's mind, she was already contemplating whether to hypnotize everyone here to swear absolute loyalty to Paul after this
<System: I am glad you have awakened my host.>The girl who was back to the operating table at the middle of the laboratory room groaned out a weak pained voice. It was as if waking up had been hard for her. The glaring light that pierced her half-opened eyes immediately forced her to turn her head to the side. Afterward, as memories played back in her mind regarding how Agatha Moore forced her to become a pitiful and bound lab rat, great waves of sharp pain started assaulting her whole senses. Large beads of sweat began to accumulate on her face, especially on the forehead. Not long after, a muffled scream came out of her mouth. After some time, when she asked the system regarding her current situation, its voice mockingly resounded in her mind.<System: It's already late in the afternoon. They kept injecting you some sleep-inducing substance until they managed to successfully
"Hmm?"When a notification rang inside his head, Sandro Smith had just thrown a banana peel on the ground, the whole fruit already chewed up by his mouth and pushed down his throat. The system's reminder automatically made his head turn to the laboratory's direction. His companion would only give him a buzz if there is danger. Or if Maurice, his beloved target, tried to flee from the operating table. The case was obviously the latter. Maurice's Original was avoiding a clash with him, so it could only be the poor lab rat attempting to escape.He clicked his tongue, thinking, 'What a troublesome lab rat.'<System: Should we notify her?>The teleporter kid unceremoniously wiped his hand on the hem of his shirt and laughed. He knew his companion was referring to the crybaby host who somehow managed to send his stalking target under a semi-mad scientist'
In front of a cafe situated in a commercial building opposite the Ever Victorious tower, Maurice's Original gracefully leaned her back on the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the cafe, eyes pinned at the building in front. She wore a long black fitted dress today, looking like she would be going to a funeral than an airport. A to-go cup was in her right hand, the other pressing her phone to her left ear."Haha... I'm really sorry, for the trouble. It's just that I think it's bad not to let the whole country know about a case like this... Alright, so the news will be broadcasted later?... Great! Really thanks for your help. You're really a lifesaver!"Done with the exchange of flattering words, she smiled then ended the call. Afterward, she reviewed the scene being played by the system in front of her. She had to back play a bit due to missing out a few minutes, the call and the frequent pausing at Paul's face and actions to be blamed.
"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 spin
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
