The figure was hurled away as it landed on the ground, but it rolled over twice and swiftly stabilized itself. The petite figure raised her head and looked at the assassin. A smile crossed her delicate yet mischievous face. She stuck out her tongue and pulled a face as she squealed. "Hahahahaha!"At the same time, the assassin goggled at her in disbelieve with his bulging eyes as he kneeled down, his huge tower like body fell face down ward on the floor. He fell right in front of Hilda and blood splattered every where over the floor. It was Hilda's first time having a near death experience like this. She was so petrified that her mind went blank for a moment. After snapping out of her shock, she looked around her.She could still feel the pain on her neck now. Hilda was almost certain that she was going to die just now!Hilda glanced at the figure who had stormed into the café and killed the assassin. It was Nuella! She was indeed a psychopath for killing the assassin with just a sin
This time, two assassins from the ZF Organization had died. This was considered a huge victory for Hilda and the others because the ZF organization never missed before in their previous assassinations.William walked towards the ambulance and saw that Rex was being carried into the ambulance in a stretcher. He wasn't seriously injured and only suffered from a broken leg. He just needed to rest for a period of time in order to recover. Rex's brother got in the ambulance with him.Hilda wasn't gravely injured too. There were just a few scratch marks around her neck. Due to the vicious attack of the man, the skin around her neck had been scratched. Her neck would have been snapped if Nuella came a little later than she did. Besides the bruises around the corner of her mouth and scratch marks around her neck, there were no other injuries on the rest of her body.Antony lay down on a stretcher. He finally regained some of his consciousness but his head was bandaged to stop the bleeding. He
Nathan's heart only fell back into place from his throat once he saw that his dainty little wife was alright. Although he desperately wanted to give her a nice long kiss, there were too many people around. It wouldn't be a good place to kiss her. He had brought a bag of fruits as he walked in and placed it by Rex's bedside. When he passed by Hilda, he stretched out a big hand to stroke her hair as a comforting gesture after her scare.Hilda looked absolutely pitiful, but her terrified little heart seemingly mended itself in an instant when Nathan stroke her hair.Rex was moved to the verge of tears when Nathan placed the bag of fruits next to his bed.Hehehehehe.He grabbed onto Nathan's hand and said, "I want a pat on the head too!"Nuella had already explained last night's situation to Nathan in detail, so he already knew all about Rex's heroic deed. He hadn't expected this kid to be so trustworthy when push came to shove. Giving a warm smile to Rex as a sign of gratitude. The smile
Hilda leaned on Nathan's shoulder as her eyes fluttered open and shut. Soon, she fell asleep.She was still shaken up after yesterday's incident. She hadn't dared to sleep for the entire night and Hilda had to give her testimony while taking care of Antony at the same time. She only left once his family had arrived. In the morning, she went to visit Rex. There was no way for her to sleep with her entire body arching all over.Hilda's heart was still tightly wound up after experiencing her first bloodshed. Still, an inexplicable sense of safety cocooned her when she leaned on Nathan's shoulder. A wave of exhaustion then crashed over her and she fell asleep shortly after leaning against him.Nathan's head was a jumble of emotions as he watched her sleep soundly.Ugh, what happened to not getting too attached to her after the marriage?Despite it all, Hilda was still his woman regardless of all the troubles. Since he had already expressed his feelings, he had to take responsibility for h
The Adams Mansion.All of a sudden, a ruckus came from downstairs. The door of the Adams new mansion had been kicked in with a loud bang, and a group of people dressed in black came charging in. The Adams security force couldn't contain them as they ran into the Adams residence.Mr. Adams wasn't home but a member of the Adams family instantly paled when he caught sight of the people in black rushing in. But he immediately spoke up sternly and asked. "Who are you people?"The intruders simply ignored him as they ran up the second floor in a neat line and successfully located the masters bedroom. They kicked open the door like a hurricane and pulled Mrs. Adams out from under the covers before pressing her onto the carpet. With the handcuffs secured around her wrists, they took her away.Her phone was put into an evidence bag and carefully sealed.Meanwhile, the member of the Adams family was unable to stop the stream of people downstair. He had only exchanged a few words with them when
The Hex himself strode in. With each step he took, it was as though his subordinates could see death itself walking beside him. His name symbolized death. He was the killer and the leader of them all.His appearance made many of the assassins present shiver in fear.The Hex had never shown his true face to anyone. Even when he made an appearance before his own subordinates like today, he would wear a stiff mask made of actual human skin to obscure his actual appearance.The Hex walked in and sat on a ratty old couch. He looked at the crowd like he was a king, and the voice changer he had, transformed his voice into one that was rough yet boomingly deep as he said. "Who was the one who took the request for Taadi Square?"A curvaceous woman clad in a mini dress stepped out of the crowd of assassins. Her brightly colored red lips parted as she slowly announced herself and said. "It was me."She was one of the Hex's women, which also meant that she was one of the very few people who had s
Hilda went upstairs to shower and change clothes. After, she finally stepped into the kitchen.Nathan would always be informed about every single thing while he was abroad, even the most mundane matters.Nathan opened the CCTV feed in his house while abroad. Just as Nuella had reported, he saw Hilda entering the kitchen as she began to prep chickens by boiling some water before she sluaghetered them solemnly. She then got around to plucking them and washing the poultry.Was she going to cook them? Who was she cooking for? Why did she suddenly think of cooking some chicken today?Nathan never saw her enter the kitchen while they were home. Yet, here she was today!Feeling immensely threatened by his thousand miles away, Nathan phoned Nuella in a haste."Hilda is cooking something for another man! Who the hell is he and why haven't you told me anything about any one else?"Nuella who was having a chat with the guards was stunned by this piece of information. Rushing into the kitchen, sh
After having two nice bowls of soup, Hilda poured the rest of the chicken soup into two tall thermal container and kept them in her bag before heading out.Nuella promptly followed after her and asked, "Madam, where are you going?""I am going to visit Mr. Anthony now."Oh, she was going to visit Mr. Anthony because of what had happened! She wasn't actually cooking for another rival like I thought!Still, Nuella's sense of danger did not fully subside. "What were you writing just now?"Hilda batted her eyes and said meaningly, "That's a me problem!"What kind of secret was it that couldn't see the light of the day? Were there any other little secrets that she wasn't allowed to know?!Nuella followed her hastily and said, "I want to come along as well!"In truth, Nuella just wanted to see who Hilda was going to show that 'little secret' to!Ever since the ZF organization incident, Hilda had become far more alert. Today, she deliberately got Gasper to drive her over while Nuella tagged
Three months later, the five generations of the huge family were gathered happily together in Nathan's Villa of the Imperial. Old Master Clemon, who was still alive and kicking, held in his arms junior Klaus with a broad smile on his face, while Zis was also all smiles as he held the other junior Klaus. Nathan was staring at Klaus hostilely. "Mr. Klaus, pardon me, but I'll make sure to cut you up into pieces if you get any closer to my daughter!" He held a chilly gaze while asserting his presence. All of a sudden, there was a fierceness about him. However, Klaus only gave him a smirk. "Haha, I don't think you have any say in this, Mr. Clemon." On the contrary, Connie seemed to side with Klaus, as she began chiding Nathan. "You should keep your mouth shut! The kids know what they're doing!" Although Nathan seemed to have backed down, he was still glaring at Klaus. Without warning, Zis, who was the eldest of the in laws, put on a stern look on his face while lecturing Connie, "M
Just like that? Why does she sound so nonchalant about it? My daughter was only six years old when she slept with a twenty year old guy! As her mother, shouldn't she have stopped her? "Times have changed. Besides, the kids are all grown up now, so isn't it normal to have desires? Don't you worry, as I gave her detailed guidance beforehand, as well as showed her educational videos to teach her more about sex." Hilda explained. Nathan's face blanched, wanting to just faint once more. However, Hilda went on. "Linux even developed a condom that helps relieve the pain, as well as increase the pleasure one experiences during sexual intercourse. It will also alert the users if it detects a virus. Besides, Klaus did a checkup beforehand to ensure that he was clean." "I also told him to be careful so as to not hurt Luna before I agreed to let them have sex." There was a livid expression on Nathan's already pale face. Has the world undergone so much transformation during the past ten year
Justin stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Anne, only to find her still actively trying to approach Luna in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Luna Clemon, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised. After Klaus entered the venue, he didn't even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Luna, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Luna showed up. She led the first dance with Giry, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners. Giry was forced to let go of Luna after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn't be
There were a lot of prestigious people present for the occasion, including male guests who were members of royal families. Klaus Adams, whom Justin didn't manage to meet, would also be there, so he could seize the opportunity to connect to people of status. Luna won't be able to provide me with such an opportunity. He took a sip out of his wine to forget the feelings of bitterness within him while he admitted his defeat. I don't belong to Luna, nor is the opposite possible, as we belong to two different worlds. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall as the hosts from Smith Group showed up. Jerome Bowen and Connie Frimpong were the ones to show up first, whereas Hilda Adams and Linux Jordan followed behind. They're here! The crowd moved in their direction with anticipation in their minds. The main protagonist will be here soon! The girl who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, as well as being the heir of prestigious families including the Damien Family, the Clemon
Anne also received an invitation to attend the ladies' ball, which was something that someone at the bottom of the social pyramid would never get to know and join in on, they practically lived in two different worlds. It wasn't until then that he knew how different they were. While Justin would never eat street food with Luna, her current boyfriend was willing to do so. Gritting his teeth, Justin left without a word, as if having made a decision. This time, he was finally able to leave her behind, even if they met each other again in the future, he would treat her like a stranger. There was a time when he used to want to spend his life with Luna, as he never met someone as intelligent and kind as her. Even if she was no better than other people, she was at least better than Anne in both regards. However, they could never get together. His family would never agree to the match due to the fact that Luna couldn't help his family climb the social ladder like how Anne could. It wasn't
A month later, the military training ended with Giry having bruises all over his face. On the other hand, both Luna and Klaus had a tan when they returned. They had also gotten to the stage of holding hands all the time with each other. As usual, Connie maintained her deathly glare when she met Klaus. She had arranged a group of people to join the military training, hoping that they could teach Klaus a lesson, but all of them wound up being intimidated by him. Geez! That bunch of cowards! Even Connie herself was beginning to acknowledge that she no longer stood a chance against Klaus by now, say less of anybody else. She was getting older, so it was time to hand things over to the next generation. Now, Klaus was the young, determined, and ambitious one, whereas Connie had aged, so she was no longer the former's opponent. Therefore, she could only watch as Klaus dated her granddaughter. After the military training, Luna's eighteenth birthday was approaching fast, which would mark
Jumping with joy, Luna latched herself to Yaa. "Marie! When did you arrive?" Yaa warmed up to Luna upon seeing the latter. "We'll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?" The girls walked away while they chatted, but Yaa didn't speak with Klaus when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Klaus pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Yaa had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Cannons, that was where she truly belonged. Yaa was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Justin Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Adwoa appeared out of nowhere to scare him. "Aha! You're done for! The general called for you! Justin, you should be prepared! The following month will b
The moment Connie's words were heard, Luna's reaction was the most intense. "Grandma, what do you mean by that? Why are you talking about him being worthy or otherwise? We're just friends!" Although we... we kissed the other time, neither of us ever brought that day up again. Therefore, they were still at the beautiful stage where things were fuzzy. Hence, Connie's proclamation burst the bubble, making the situation exceedingly awkward. Klaus, who was eating, stilled for a moment, but he said nothing. Upon seeing this, Connie was in seventh heaven. Finally, I've found his Achilles heel! Putting on her authoritative air as an elder, she loftily asserted, "My granddaughter will never marry a man who doesn't even have a high school diploma." All at once, the atmosphere turned awkward, and Luna's face flushed bright red from mortification. At this time, Hilda hurriedly smoothed things over, exclaiming, "What are you saying, mom? What's this about marrying and all?" She should at last l
The old son in law was indeed zealous, for he brought back gifts for everyone, including Jerome, Connie, and Luna's uncles. Despite Connie's staring match with Klaus earlier, she hugged her gift to her chest, reluctant to put it down for even a second. Klaus's gift to her was a handwritten score from her favorite pianist back when she was young, so she truly loved it. Meanwhile, Adwoa got a set of Western European non mainstream fashionable clothes, and she seemed besotted as well. Klaus even had gifts for Luna's friends, including Giry, Dean, and the others. He distributed the gifts one by one. At the end of it, he took out a tiny gift and waved a beckoning hand toward the back of the house. "Kater!" Woof! A husky scampered out in a mad flurry. Then, Klaus unwrapped the gift to reveal an adorable ball. Gratified, Kater left with it in its mouth. "Tangerine! Orange! Lemon! Gordon! Goldstein!" Upon hearing their names, the few orange cats padded over, meowing all the way. Klaus
