The dance party began, and Nathan held Hilda's hand and led her onto the dance floor. A slow and soothing music happened to be playing, and the ladies and gentlemen on the dance floor slowed down their movements.Hilda was upset the whole time while she was dancing with Nathan. Without saying a word, she rested her chin on Nathan's shoulder while slowly taking her steps along with the music.Nathan seemed to know the reason for her silence, for he placed his hand on her back and gently patted her twice. "I just went to say hello to her."Winnifred looked very much like Leah, so he really couldn't ignore her when she stood in front of him.Of course, Hilda wasn't angry just because Nathan had spoken to Winnifred. She was just feeling inferior, for she knew that she was inferior to Winnifred. Some heights were destined to be insurmountable no matter how hard one tried. So many people worked hard to earn money, yet there would always be only one person who was the richest in the world.H
Hex's sponsor!Nathan always knew that for Hex to be so brazen, he would need a steady supply of money to support him. His sponsor could be anyone, such as Linux..After he left the basement, Nathan sat in his study room and started to process the continuous amount of paperwork.Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night.All of a sudden, there was a knock on the study room door, and Caleb's voice rang. "Daddy, can I come in?"It was then that Nathan remembered Caleb. He wanted to have some alone time with Hilda, so he didn't bring it to Linux' party tonight. But why would it suddenly come over at this time of the night?Furthermore, it was a robot, and its program didn't allow it to go into the study room, basement and other file storage places.I've always suspected it's a spy, and even though we've checked its system countless times, who knows whether there's a loophole in its system?After clearing and putting away his classified files, he replied, "Come on in."Caleb only came in
The world had fallen into the pits of madness!Linux shrugged and nonchalantly replied, "I still have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Clemon."Suddenly, Gasper came over with a solemn expression as he glanced at the crowd and murmured, "We have found the others as well as Nuella and Toby, all of whom were drugged by ether. They are not in danger, but Madam and Hex."Gasper did not dare to continue speaking.Upon hearing the information, Nathan felt like the whole world had gone dark. He gritted his teeth as he resisted the urge to roar. "Continue tracking them," He ordered.At this point, everyone had realized what was happening, and the atmosphere dropped to a freezing point. Hilda had fallen into the hands of Hex!And Anthony was Hex, whose accomplice was Linux!Rex turned around and ran out hurriedly to make a call. "William, Hex's identity has been confirmed. It's Anthony Clark from the Institution! You have to report this immediately. He's planning to flee Taadi City, and
Hilda knew that she was in a car from the occasional bumps, but she had no idea where they were going or if Nathan would come in time to rescue her.She was desperate and helpless, feeling like a leaf that could be crushed at any time by a passing boat..He was actually Hex! He had always been lurking around Hilda and observing her every move. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike!Linux turned off the screen as he could no longer bear to watch that scene. A gush of warm heat gushed out and condensed into tears. As he turned around, the tears splashed out from his eyes."I want Hex dead, Butler!"One second later, the robot butler replied, "The other party has gone beyond your range of control, Linux. Unable to execute the relevant commands."The bomb placed on Hex was Linux's protection amulet. It was also a kill switch for him. He could take Hex's life as long as he wanted to, but they were too far apart and Linux could no longer control him right now.The news of Hex
Just as they were about to get to the main point, the chauffeur suddenly spoke up. "Boss, the route up ahead has been blocked off due to the heavy fog, so all outbound vehicles have to change course."Anthony's hand was on Hilda's safety shorts. He was about to pull them down, but he stiffened upon hearing the chauffeur's words. Anthony got up a few moments later to put on his combat uniform and picked up his weapon. A large caliber submachine gun. He strapped on a variety of other weapons before he pulled a gas mask over his face.Right then, Anthony dropped a coat on top of Hilda. He picked her up and helped her into it. "Get out of here through the nearest exit, and keep your guard up."She was completely limp like a doll as he held her. Fully dressed for battle with that weighty gas mask on his face, he was armed to the teeth as well.Anthony gazed at Hilda, the latter being near him. She had dressed up nicely, but her pretty face was a mess right now with visible tear streaks on
Anthony took a look at old master Clemon and tilted his head. A mocking smile came onto his face as he said, "Old man no, I should be calling you Grandfather instead.""Pfft, who's your grandfather?" Old master Clemon glared at him."Whether you admit it or not, you are my grandfather. My biological father is your son, Damian" Anthony said patiently.With his eyes focused on Anthony, the man went rigid. He wasn't able to return to his senses for a long time.Anthony continued with a sneer. "How do you think your son managed to take down that major drug trafficking family within a few months back then? In case you didn't know, they had been reigning in Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle for close to a hundred years. He married into that family, intending to take down the entire clan from the inside!""You.."It was old master Clemon's first time hearing about this.His eyes were widened with rage, but unfortunately, he couldn't move.Anthony continued to say, "However, your son made a te
William stared at the Hex coldly. It was also his first time hearing that the Hex was Damian's descendant, but William was still as calm as ever. "Release the hostages, and I will guarantee that you'll have a safe passage out of the country."Anthony tilted his head as he gazed back at William. A cold light emanated from his dark eyes, seeming as though he was a venomous snake. "My apologies, dear brothers. It's a pity that we have to meet under such circumstances."The Hex gave a polite bow to them. "My birth father is Damian, while my biological mother is Mavis. I was initially born as Jayden, but I changed my name to Anthony after my mother remarried."Nathan pointed somewhere, and Gasper brought Mavis over with a gun held to her head. "Your mother is with me. I want to exchange her for one of the hostages."Even though Nathan would love nothing better than to kill Mavis with his own hands to avenge his mother's illness, Mavis was the only hostage he had.Anthony took a look at the
That member had been holding Hilda's detonator when she suddenly leaped up nimbly and killed him despite being paralyzed. Now that he was dead, the detonator fell to the ground.Everyone instinctively braced their heads for cover. They had only one thought in mind, that they were all about to die!However, the explosion they were expecting never came. Hilda struggled and hurled the dagger that she had somehow managed to conjure out of thin air at the member that was guarding old master Clemon.The blade sunk into the man's chest. He reflexively reached up to touch it. Having lost his grip on the detonator, it began to fall to the ground.Hilda charged over to grab the detonator and shoved it into old master Clemon's hands. She then kicked his wheelchair, sending it careening into the distance.Everything was over in a blink of an eye. By the time everyone realized that the bomb hadn't blown up, two members were already down, and old master Clemon had been sent far away from his initia
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
