The next day, Javier, Jade, and Zephiel boarded a plane together. During the flight, Zephiel said, “I heard that you returned William his authority. Are you not afraid that he might come back and bite you in the *ss?”Javier smiled and replied, “He can go ahead and try. But do you think he’ll dare to do anything like that when you’re right there keeping tabs on him, you old fox?”Zephiel knew that was not a serious answer, so he remained silent.Feeling helpless, Javier gave him a serious answer instead. “He’s still my relative at the end of the day. Plus, he didn’t actually hurt me, so I can’t possibly watch him drown in his sorrows any further, can I? Of course, it would be best if I could tame him. Then, we’d be able to work together and fight our enemies side by side.“Him helping me would definitely be better than having some outsider help me. But…if he tries to take advantage of me, he’s going to have to risk being bitten once more. Anyway, he’s free to try and take that ri
Javier smiled when he saw Renly’s curious expression, which was mixed with a teasing look.Of course he knew what Renly was implying. Renly had made the wrong move by giving Javier the opportunity to ally himself with the Soroys, which had been a thorn in Renly’s behind this entire time. Although Renly did not say anything about it, Javier knew he was suffering because of it. Hence, Renly was now asking this question in hopes of being able to turn the tide.Javier smiled and replied, “What’s it got to do with you?”Renly’s initial expression was instantly filled with embarrassment. As the future family leader, Renly had not expected anyone to have the courage to speak to him like that. In fact, he had never thought someone would actually do that to him for the rest of his life. After all, his identity and status put him far above a lot of people! Unfortunately, Javier was not someone who played by the rules. Coincidentally, he also had both the identity and status Renly had.
Forget about Javier. Even Renly was stupefied.He was also very sure that Maya did not know who Javier was at all, so why would she suddenly throw herself at him?Before anyone could react to the situation, Maya had already buried herself in Javier’s embrace. Her beautiful looks and fragrance were indeed rather enchanting.However, Javier now had both hands raised in the air and seemed to be in a very awkward position. In fact, he seemed very innocent as he looked at Jade’s curious gaze.“I really don’t know who she is…”“Why would you say you don’t know who I am, Kieren? It’s me, May-May! Have you forgotten that you saved me before?”Maya ended up hugging him even tighter after the latter tried to prove his innocence.“Someone fired his gun at me, but you saved me. You even killed the bad man and took me to the hospital.” After saying that, Maya turned around to look at Renly, who was running toward them. “You can prove it, can’t you, Renly? It was Kieren who saved me, right?
Seeing that Maya was still crying, the maid hurried over to console her as well. Javier and the maid ended up coaxing her for a while before they were finally able to make Maya stop sobbing.“Then can you promise me that we’ll be best friends? I like you very much.”Javier was finding it a little hard to accept such a direct confession.However, he recalled that Maya had a mental disability and all that discomfort disappeared at once. Obviously, the “like” Maya mentioned was different from the one adults of different genders would refer to. As he faced Maya’s pitiful gaze, which was looking right into his eyes, Javier nodded his head and agreed to be her best friend. “Okay, let’s be best friends from now on then.”Maya was so happy that she began jumping in joy when she heard this.“Yay! I’ve got a best friend! Yay!”Every time she jumped, her chest would jump around vigorously as well, which was not stopped by the constriction of her yoga clothes. Javier could not help t
The Andrews were flying on an Airbus A380, which was the largest commercial plane in the world. If the plane was carrying passengers at maximum capacity, it would be able to carry more than 800 people in a single trip, which was enough to prove just how big this plane was. Moreover, it also proved just how extravagant the Andrews were. There were only a few people on the plane, yet they’d used an A380 to show how rich they were. “Why are they showing that off? Can’t you afford an A380 yourself?”Renly was a little frustrated as he criticized them, looking at the large commercial plan on the runway. Javier chuckled and replied, “No, I can’t afford one. The Andrews have so much more money in comparison to the Kerseys.”Renly nodded his head. “I suppose you’re right. This means that the Whites can’t afford it either. It’s our fault for being poor!”After the plane came to a complete standstill, the vehicle with the ladder went up and attached itself to the plane’s door. Meanwhi
The lunch banquet was just the opening of the meeting, so there were not many actual details discussed.However, they managed to establish a name for the force hiding in the shadows after the longest time—Raiders.This was because their existence was very much like that of pirates or raiders, who posed an extremely large threat as they appeared out of nowhere, yet managed to disappear without a trace when others tried to eliminate them. Aside from discussing the Raiders, the major families also discussed the current younger generation. Everyone from the major families that was around 30 years old would, of course, fall under this category.Hence, omitting their seniority, three of the most extraordinary people from the younger generation would be chosen.One of the three would be, no doubt, Renly White, who was going to be the future family leader of the Whites. Another one would be the Babyslayer. He was a vicious man, and everyone could agree that the Andrews had been becom
The final results of the game were very straightforward…Renly was the biggest winner that day. Aside from winning Connor’s 75 million dollars, he even won a side bet against the same person, who insisted on getting back at Renly for beating him. As a result, after wiring all the money to Renly, Connor had lost a total of 225 million dollars.Meanwhile, Javier had lost a total of 9 million dollars. There were six rounds altogether, and Javier had folded in every single round. The ante for each round was 1.5 million dollars, which constituted the 9 million dollars he had lost. Connor might have lost the game, but he was still smiling away, not feeling ashamed or frustrated because he had lost that money.However, when he looked at Javier, he wagged his finger. “I feel most frustrated that I’ve been put together with a man who doesn’t have any fight in him at all. You aren’t a good opponent for me, nor are you even worthy of being my opponent. “Renly’s the only one who might be my
The explosions lasted for little more than 10 minutes before everything went silent. Throughout this entire time, nobody had seen who their attacker was, so unless they were experts, they would not be able to tell whether this had been done by a battleship or a fighter jet. After pushing aside a large slab of rock, Javier, Jade, and Maya stood up with soot covering their faces.They were also able to clearly see how bad Maya’s injuries were. She had just a minor flesh wound, so she was going to be alright. Javier hurriedly looked at Jade, who was thankfully safe. Only then was Javier able to relax.The area where the lunch banquet had been held had not been bombed, which meant that neither Zephiel nor Angelina were injured.Hence, nobody related to Javier had been injured during the attack, which was the best-case scenario considering everything that had happened.The island was now in a miserable state. The conference hall had been attacked very hard, leaving nothing but destr
