Since he had already blurted it, Javier did not keep it from Quinna.“There’s also Ciara, my younger sister, but not by blood. See her like a child bride, for lack of better words.“And Chessie, who saved my life and is very nice to me.”Mulling over it, Javier wanted to mention Saiorse, but what came out of his mouth became: “No more, only the two of them”.He had yet to know how things would end up with Saiorse…Angelina, too. Hence, he thought he would not bring up these two women.“Only the two of them? I don’t even have one yet!”Quinna was displeased. “I thought I could cut you and share with Jade. I could get a leg and an arm, but now? Sharing among four people means that I’ll get a leg at most.”Faced with Quinna’s pout, Javier pushed himself closer with a grin and spoke suggestively. “I’ll give you another leg, okay?”Quinna did not understand what he meant but caught it shortly after.During such a passionate moment, the sound of the key turning the lock rang. Javier
Javier had no idea what the reward was. Liam seemed to know a little, but he was not telling. Unable to do anything about it, Javier could only wait, thinking that something the country would give him must not be too bad. Even if it were a certificate, the stamp on it would be something that belonged to the country!After his discussion with Liam, Javier roamed around the research base before leaving to see Trevor. He had yet to visit the Reivaj Group since it was built. Now that he finally had a bit of time, he wanted to check out his new company.Halfway on his journey, however, Quinna called him. “Javier, we have another problem.”What the f*ck? They had begun selling the cars and had shared the hydrogen propulsion system. What else could happen?It was truly another problem, lo and behold. When Javier went back to the Heisenberg Group, he met Samere again in the meeting room.The White Old Boy came again with FIA, but he was no longer arrogant this time when he saw Javier. Ins
Of course, Quinna would not let Javier take advantage of her while they were inside the boardroom. After all, it would be absolutely embarrassing if someone were to walk in on them midway! Thus, she said in embarrassment, “I’ll buy you dinner after work.”The dinner was just innuendo. The activity after dinner was most likely what she actually meant. However, Javier revealed an embittered smile. “As if we’ve got a chance to have dinner together. I’ll be eating it on the plane!”Quinna was slightly stunned. She originally thought that Javier would probably feel excited after making such a huge decision to give herself to him willingly. In the end, not only did Javier not seem excited, but he was even frustrated that he was about to leave soon. She subconsciously asked, “Where are you going?”“Yuzuia.”Javier then left the boardroom, headed directly to the airport, and booked the next flight. Although Samere had already agreed to give him a month, Javier knew there was no way
Herschel was clear Yuri was only treating him with so much respect purely because of Javier’s presence.Thus, although he was rather happy, he did not dare to overstep his boundaries. After all, he was someone who worked by Javier’s side, so he needed to be mindful of his words and actions. Because of this, Herschel said, “Thank you, Mr. Bogard, but—”Before Herschel even finished, Javier replied, “He’s asked you to go enjoy yourself, so just go ahead and do so. Do you really think you’re here to protect me? You don’t even know a single word of their language, nor are you able to read, so how are you going to drive me around if you can’t even read the signs? I only brought you here this time to relax.”Initially, Herschel felt rather embarrassed after Javier had said such things to him.However, now that he had heard about his “job description” during that journey, he was immediately over the moon. “Thank you, boss! Thank you!” Javier returned to his room after relieving Hersch
After being granted access, Yoel entered Javier’s room, panting heavily with sweat covering his forehead. “Mr. Kersey, I’m here…I-I’m…I’m here…”Yoel held the door handle for support and seemed so tired it was as if he was a dog that had been out in the sun for a long time during summer. All that was left was for Yoel to stick his tongue out, and he would match it perfectly. Javier chuckled as he said, “Why are you in such a hurry? You could’ve taken your time. There’s no need for you to tire yourself so badly.”Yoel was cursing inside. ‘Would I have to end up this tired if you hadn’t set a time limit!?’However, as much as he was cursing at Javier, he still seemed grateful on the outside. “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Kersey. Thank you.”Javier then pointed to the sofa, gesturing for Yoel to take a seat to catch his breath. Yoel thanked him one more time. However, he did not dare to sit on the sofa. After all, Javier was still standing! Thus, Yoel did not dare to
On the one hand, it was the enticing reward of becoming the next family leader. On the other hand, it was him taking up the risk of being killed by the Whites.After weighing his options repeatedly, Yoel made what he thought to be the right decision. “I’m sorry, Mr. Kersey. But I can't do that.”Javier smiled. “It’s alright. I was only offering for the fun of it. There’s no way I’d want to be involved in your family matters.”Javier’s smile sent chills down Yoel’s spine.However, after thinking about it on a deeper level…‘If I’m able to contact Renly and tell him about this—’“Are you planning on telling Renly about this and then get in his good graces while you’re at it? You’re planning on telling him that you’ve refused my offer and hope that you can take this opportunity to seek protection from him by becoming his subordinate. You hope to receive Renly’s support to make you the next family leader?”Javier instantly caused Yoel’s eyes to widen with his deduction. Yoel hurried
Renly was pondering what Javier was planning on doing. ‘Why would he discard all of his profits for the sake of this so-called “patriotism”?‘Is there a point in being patriotic?‘I don’t think so. I’m a nationless person, so I can do whatever I want without having to be worried about being restrained.‘Plus, without the shackles of my motherland, I’m as free as a bird and able to live however I want.‘Why would I need a motherland? Is it even important?‘Take the Kerseys, for example. Other families already chose to flee during the 19th century, but they chose to invest their money. Although they had indeed contributed to their country, what did they get in return?‘If they were to have chosen to flee at the time, the Whites probably wouldn’t dare offend them at this moment. ‘In fact, our family’s status of being the strongest would probably begin to waver since the Kerseys, who are purely a family of businessmen, have an extremely large financial reserve. ‘But right now, th
Herschel may have felt that Javier was trying to bluff him, but Yuri concurred. In order to understand his superior’s intentions and better understand what humans were thinking, Yuri had specially gone to learn psychology. Thus, he was very clear about everything that Javier had just done. ‘He was giving Yoel a mental suggestion just now.‘It’s a clever trick that will be able to cause others to be under the illusion that they’ve done something wrong.’Thus, Yuri knew that Javier was joking when he claimed only to be trying his luck with his tactic.Yuri silently looked at Javier and was slightly shocked, not realizing that Javier possessed so many tricks.‘Could he be planning on going up against Renly despite how young he is?’At the same time, Yoel’s face was filled with scorn as he stared at his cell phone.“You idiot, you still can’t do anything to me in the end, can you? Just the fact that you’ve thrown your phone away is the best proof of your incompetence. Then again,
