Connie looked at Linux' expression but did not see any changes. "An internal analysis chart from a military compound."A hint of uneasiness spread across Linux' face momentarily. He pried, "What's that doing here?"Connie did not beat around the bush and said, "Rex from the other day came over today because the robot had broken down. When I was fixing it, I noticed a backdoor in the robot's program. Someone had been spying on them with that robot."A layer of sweat had covered Linux' back.Nonchalantly, Connie continued, "It looks like someone tried to use that robot to try to steal confidential military information in Taadi and go against the Cannon's and Clemon's." He emphasized the words at the end of his sentence.Linux did not respond, but Connie could see the look on his face turn sullen. His introverted appearance was harboring a heinous crime that no one knew about.The air in the room grew heavy. In this room, except for the cats who were threading along the floor lightly, th
Seizing the chance, Hilda quickly tried to escape. After pushing him aside, she started to sprint off.Caleb took one last look at Hex before following after Hilda. While he was running with her, all four cameras on his body were still constantly observing their surroundings so he could act immediately if he had to.Hilda was running on the side of the street. Even with someone by her side, she could not feel at ease. Feelings of despair overwhelmed her and she started to cry as she ran. After running just a few hundred meters, Nathan suddenly appeared, still in his pajamas, at the corner of the street ahead.When she saw him, she finally felt safe. She ran into his arms and started to sob.Nathan looked very distraught. He hugged her tightly in his arms and comforted, "It's okay. You're okay now."She was trembling all over. There were injuries all over her face and neck, and scratch marks all over her stomach and chest.When he received Caleb's report, he immediately ran out of the
Hilda pressed the doorbell a few times before the door swung open automatically. Pushing through the main gate, she entered Linux' front yard. The French windows were dark and bleak as if no one was home. But after taking a couple of steps, the house lit up and Linux came out of his workroom.He opened the door to let her in. "Hilda, what brings you here?"She looked at him still dressed in his work attire and guessed, "You're still working at this hour?""Yeah."When he saw the injuries on her lips and neck, he inquired, "What happened to you?"Without hesitating, she answered, "I went out for a night run and slipped because the ground was too slippery."Linux casted a quizzical glance at her but he did not press further. He did not know about the bad blood between her and Hex. He assumed that Hex had gotten attacked by Caleb's silver needles when he was trying to harm the Clemon's.Hilda stated her purpose for coming, "I noticed that Caleb has an additional defense feature now that
Seeing that the situation was off, the robot by the side quickly sprayed a mist. When Linux breathed in the mist, he calmed down in an instant. The boiling blood inside of him finally cooled down. Linux stared at his hands that were still shivering from the excessive agitation. His eyes were filled with dismay.What happened? Why is this happening? Why did I suddenly lose control of my emotions? Linux had never lost his cool like that before."Hahaha.." Hex, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, laughed with his mouth wide open, blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth."I didn't expect you to make such gaffes for a woman. I thought you're only interested in men."For a while, Linux continued to stare at his trembling hands, his mind went blank. It was only after he suddenly thought of Hilda, who was sleeping still on the bed, that he quickly straightened himself. Instantly, he pulled her sweater down to cover her torso and carried her out in a hurry.Hex
He stared at Hex as he howled, spasmed, and trembled in pain. "You... You set me up!"After half a minute, Hex finally found the strength to speak. His body was sore and sweaty. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Linux.The bomb in his body was the one that would explode when he died. It was his last amulet, and it was Linux who had invented and implanted it in him. He didn't know the bomb had a function like that too!Staring at him, Linux grinned coldly and he pressed the remote control again."Argh..."Hex's figure twisted on the working table, his veins becoming visible. He even felt like his soul was being torn apart.Linux listened to Hex growling in pain and was very satisfied to see him suffer. "Do you think that I can't do anything with your lowly life?""Don't forget that you're just a dog I raised! I'll repeat it again. I don't care about the grudge between you and Nathan. But, if you ever touch her again.."Linux' words were harsh as he went on. He looked at Hex merciles
After watching Hilda pick her outfit, Nathan took Caleb, Gasper, and Nuella out.Hilda was scratched by Hex and she was left with a scar on her face. To make sure that she could be in her best condition and appearance during Linux' banquet, Hilda had to deal with it quickly. After all, Nathan's ex girlfriend and her own ex boyfriend would be attending too.Besides, this was going to be her first time appearing in public as Nathan's wife. She made an appointment at a plastic surgery hospital, hoping that her wound could be healed quickly without leaving a scar.That plastic surgery hospital was said to have the best scar healing and cosmetic repair procedure. Even the normal treatments that they offered were well known. Instead of the usual plastic surgery look one saw on the streets, the faces they created were all beautiful in their own way.Many celebrities had visited Taadi City from overseas just to get a facelift. Even if Hilda was Nathan's wife and a VIP, she could only make an
Intentionally, Nathan teased, "Yeah. I'll go extend mine to 20 centimeters next month. Are you scared?"Instantly, Hilda's complexion went pale. A 20 centimeter long penis!How strong would he be? She didn't think she would be able to fit him in!Watching Hilda who was dumbfounded, Nathan arched his brows and gave her a wink.Hilda suddenly realized that she had been teased. Covering her face, she ran away.After Hilda ran away out of shyness, Nathan continued with his work at hand. He was suddenly very interested in the gossip she had told him earlier. Hilda told him that Anthony was pretty handsome back then, but why did he go for plastic surgery?Besides, he was highly educated and was the second son of the Clark Family, one of the most influential families in Taadi City. There was absolutely no need for the surgery. However, one wouldn't know what the others were thinking. Perhaps he was someone who really cared about his appearance!Hilda did not come back after a long while inst
"According to my research, the reason your dad was able to wipe out the base that the drug traffickers had built for more than a hundred years in such a short period, was because he had obtained top secret insider information in advance. After knowing his and the drug trafficker's own strengths and weaknesses, it only took one shot for him to take them out with the fastest speed and the lowest cost."Johnathan only described the situation in a few words, but Hilda could imagine the scene back in the days. It must have been tough and more thrilling than the spy films one could watch now.When it came to the topic of his father, Nathan's expression turned gloomy.Holding onto his hand, Hilda found it extremely cold.With a glance at Nathan, Johnathan let out a sigh and said, "You might not be able to accept the thing l am about to say in a moment."Hilda was nervous. She was afraid that Johnathan would say something that would shake her entire worldview. In a hurry, she said, "Then, let
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
