เข้าสู่ระบบThey were just wondering who was so important that Julien would introduce them when Charlie and Vera entered, hand-in-hand.Rob was left gaping at Charlie while Rachel's lips parted in surprise, despite her usual slickness in hiding her emotions.It was not as if they knew who Charlie and Vera were either—they didn't expect Julien to introduce them to two Oskians.Oskians had barely established themselves in the hierarchy on the US side of things, while Julien stood at the very pinnacle of that hierarchy. Not even the country's top politicians matched him in influence, and certainly not Asia's richest man.That was why Rob and Rachel were all the more confused—who was this Oskian standing before them, really? That was when Julien, nodding politely at Charlie, said, "Andy, meet Rob Rothschild, my grandnephew… And his girlfriend."Julien then smiled at Rachel, asking, "May I have the pleasure of your name, young lady?""Y-Yes," Rachel replied nervously. "I'm Rachel Getty."Julie
The endgame for Wallis and her mother had always been bloodline integration, with their own children all groomed to be the next generation of Scholars. Rachel was a product of the doctrine, groomed as a Scholar by her mother since she was a child, with a poison planted inside her body for insurance. Being raised in the west, she almost instinctively resisted the doctrine, but Wallis told her that it was simply futile—that she'd just die for it. After all, if their cover got blown, the Qing Eliminating Society would come for every single one of them, pruning their entire bloodline. And the same fate awaited the Getty family too, just to be sure that nothing slipped out at all.Rachel could see her mother wasn't joking, and she hated being a Scholar and hated the Qing Eliminating Society too. But this was her purpose—the reason she was born, or her parents would never have met if not for the Scholar doctrine.It was no different from a child getting leukemia, and the parents gi
Charlie, Vera, and Julien headed to the Bay Area together while Rob and Rachel drove there.Charlie and Vera both adopted pseudonyms along the way—Charlie was Andy Cooper, while Vera was Anna Cooper.The country club was owned by the Rothschild family. The selection process for the membership was strict and was reviewed personally by the Rothschild family. It was not even a matter of paying them enough—exclusivity was the motto, and only those deemed worthy by the Rothschild family became members. The strongest advantage of such exclusivity was easily the management members. By leveraging the Rothschilds' influence and resources to bring together the rich and the important, the pooling of wealth and influence would lead to improved relations and stronger business partnerships. There was also the privacy and exclusivity maintained—no one of such caliber and privilege was prone to leaking what was said and done here, or being exposed by a 'friend'. While inappropriate remarks or ac
Wallis Getty—Rachel's mother—soon answered and asked, "It isn't the usual time for check-ins. Is this important?""Rob's granduncle is here!" Rachel exclaimed excitedly right then. "It's Julien Rothschild, the heir apparent of the Rothschild family!" "Wait, Julien? In California?" Rachel's mother blurted in surprise."Yes!" Rachel exclaimed excitedly, "That's not all—he's right here in the Bay Area! He even invited Rob to dinner, while asking if he had a girlfriend. Rob naturally told him about me, so he asked Rob to bring me along for dinner!" Wallis paused, but soon exclaimed with immense joy, "Really?! That's wonderful! Rob is making things official, while you get to meet Julien Rothschild too?! Lady Griffin was pinning her hopes on our lineage to marry into the Rothschild family, and now that seems more and more possible!"Rachel was thrilled too, as she was aware there would be no stop to Fleur's plan to infiltrate everything and everyone. The high society of the western he
Rachel, forcing back her excitement, asked Rob tentatively, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for me to join a family dinner?""What's inappropriate about it?" Rob asked, smiling at her. "He suggested it. Just tag along if you have nothing on your plate."Rachel feigned hesitant silence, eventually saying nervously, "A-Alright… But you gotta warn me if there's anything I should worry about beforehand…"Rob found her nervous reaction all adorable, and couldn't resist caressing her cheek while grinning, "There's nothing to worry about. Sure, he's the heir apparent of the Rothschild family, but just pretend he's another uncle."Rachel nodded. "Oh, do you think I have time to change? I have to look a little solemn, at least."Rob smiled and nodded. "Sure. Let's get to the dorms."She nodded and they both headed to the girls' dorms.It was quite a luxurwy accommodation, with each unit being an apartment with two rooms and a common area.Boys were allowed in during daytime, but Rob
But since Julien had put it that way, Rob couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, and braced himself as he replied, "Yes, sir…"Julien chuckled heartily. "Good, then go get prepared now.""Okay…"Rob was confused even as he hung up, but he didn't wait to call his father.After all, Julien was virtually the second-in-command of the family. Whatever his intentions were, Rob had to tell his family first.His father was just as surprised when Rob told him, as his own father Damian had a terrible falling out with Julien before Julien was named heir apparent.Even though Damian now wanted to make peace, Julien wasn't having it. It was therefore confusing that Julien would, for some reason, invite Damian's grandson to dinner, but also an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. This was indeed a bit puzzling, but it was also an unexpected joy for the family. Considering how bad the feud with Damian was, the fact that Julien was now being chummy with Rob at least meant progress.That was why Ro
Although Charlie did not know Falco, nor did he know anything about Falco’s methods of getting things done, he felt that for someone like Falco, being cruel and killing people would be deeply embedded in him.The reason why he did not usually kill people was by no means because he was being kind-hear
Charlie nodded in satisfaction and spoke up, “In that case, you can follow me back.”Carvalho hurriedly agreed, and when he raised his head, he suddenly gasped and exclaimed out loud.“Eh?! Could it be that Falco Xanthos has left a sarira behind after getting struck by lightning?” When Charlie heard t

Charlie shook his head and sneered as he said, “I am your master!”Zayne was completely flustered, and he cried out as he said, “No, don’t! Please don’t seal my consciousness. I do not want to become a living dead! Please let me go. I will do whatever you want as long as you are willing to let me go!
