Rex's temples pulsed. He had been taught a lesson by Nathan after the previous incident, and it seemed like he couldn't avoid being taught another lesson on this day.No!Even if the sky falls down, any senior in the family hierarchy can take my place. I'm in the lowest ranks of the family, so I'm just a pure and innocent baby! No matter what. I can't be taught a lesson again!Rex hurriedly grabbed Thomas and fled. "I'll be leaving first since Kater is afraid of being outside alone, Commander. See you around. Hehe.."Kyle who was fuming beckoned to Sonnia. "Come, Sonnia."With that, Sonnia was taken away by Kyle with her head drooping low.As Nathan stared at Hilda expressionlessly the whole time, the latter did not even dare to breathe. Now that everyone else was gone, the two of them were the only ones left.After staring at her for a few minutes, Nathan stood up and stepped into the darkness without saying a word. Hilda immediately went after him.The two of them got into the car
Hilda tried hard to pretend that everything was normal, acting like she was eating and sleeping well. To her surprise, as soon as she finished her meal and put down her utensils, Nathan asked in a perfectly calm tone, "Are you going out to fight some gangsters tomorrow?"Hilda trembled all over nervously while her muscles contracted. After a few seconds, she replied with a smile, "How is that possible? I have work tomorrow."Sh*t, who leaked that out?!Nathan finished his meal without saying another word before he entered his study.Indeed, there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home after dinner. Even though everyone still watched TV together after dinner, nobody dared to say a word.Hilda was also in a dilemma, but she had to join this time's fight no matter what.This will be the last time I act willfully. After beating them up tomorrow, I'll wash my hands of this and never fool around outside with Lily again. With that thought in her mind, she grew confident as she belie
It seemed that many people had arrived since the sound of footsteps could be heard from all directions. Hilda immediately put on her face mask, her black battle suit looked so over the top that she looked like someone acting in a movie about assassins.Standing next to her, Nathan also put on his face mask. He wore matching outfits with her since they were a couple!Rex secretly asked, "Commander, how could you be here and fight just like this? What if you get photographed and your photos are sent to the weekly magazines?"Annoyed by the question, Lily answered, "That's not a big deal. This isn't the first time I've been photographed fighting with someone."Lily was already used to being photographed. After all, photos of her fighting, clubbing, and making trouble after getting drunk appeared in headlines almost every day. Because of that, Nathan's public persona had long since changed from the mysterious and flawless Prince Charming to a loafer who liked clubbing and waved his fists
Manny had dropped out of school and mingled in the society for several years, so she knew what to do in such a situation.She grabbed a machete and charged toward Hilda.As she raised the machete at Hilda, the latter avoided the attack with incredible agility and blocked the machete with her stun gun. As Hilda caught the machete in her hand, she released the current from her weapon. In the blink of an eye, Manny's whole body twitched as she fell to the ground, paralyzed. The high end killer equipment Hilda was using to fight against the group of high schoolers was like killing a chicken with a chainsaw.As Manny writhed in pain and sobbed loudly, her smoky makeup was all ruined.Then, a pair of black heavy duty boots stepped on her head forcefully.Hilda stubbed Manny's head in the sand by the river bank, just like how Manny had pressed her face onto the ground back then. She did it with such force that Manny's face went so deep into the sand. The sobbing woman was even forced to eat
Meanwhile, everyone else was busy cleaning up the battle scene. They picked up all the school bags that were left behind.Rex picked up a paper and glanced at the score. "Hey, this idiot couldn't even solve such a simple question!" He scoffed.Thomas picked up a school bag and exclaimed excitedly, "Look, Rex! There was an art student here!"Manny had lost her voice from crying so much and was dragged to the car by Sonnia. They put her together with the unconscious June.Meanwhile, Hilda helped Bruce back to his feet. The 18 year old boy was terrified with tears on his face.She patted the dust off him. She seemed to be at a loss for words, but Bruce spoke up first and said, "I didn't mean to hide the truth from you, Hilda."Back then, Bruce was often too poor to eat, Hilda would share half of the only bun she had with him."I didn't want to do it. My mother told me to be like my sister. She wanted me to study hard and please Salem. I've only seen my so called father a few times since
The Universal Games was only held once every four years. It was a major event that attracted the attention of the world. If a representative won a gold medal at the games, it would bring utmost glory to his or her country!Bruce's mother used to be a synchronized swimmer, but her results were not extraordinary. Because of her outstanding looks, Salem took a liking to her and made him his mistress. After she retired, she gradually lost her beauty as the years went by. Hence, she placed all her hope and dreams onto her son and daughter.In fact, Sahara performed well and even surpassed her mother, but she lacked the right timing and resources..Nathan noticed that Hilda had stopped fighting and was using all her connections to get Bruce's sister into this year's Universal Games expedition team to represent Taadi.After working at the Institution for the last two years, she had accumulated her own contacts. She also knew several people who were in the sports scene. For instance, her coll
When the call went through, Hilda spoke before Nathan could. "Huh? Have you finished working already?" Her voice was as gentle as ever, and there was no hint of frustration in it at all. It seemed that she was still rather composed.Nathan wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say when he tried to open his mouth. Despite having such a huge dilemma hit her company, she never bothered him once. Her resolution made his heart ache."Is the company doing okay?"Hilda was unfazed. "Yeah, it's just a small problem. We'll overcome it. Also, I noticed earlier that your equipment is gone. All the data will probably be restored by the day after tomorrow."From the way she spoke, it was like she was describing some easily dismissed matter. However, Nathan knew that their company was going through their biggest challenge since inception. If they couldn't weather through this, they would fall uncontrollably. It was anxiety inducing to see so much pressure weighing upon their young shoulders.
Everyone hastily rescued the receptionists and shut the door to the office area. The office was separated from the reception area with a glass wall, so everyone could currently see the landlord furiously trashing everything and splashing paint outside. The receptionists' sobs kept echoing in everyone's heads.The two receptionists were very upset and scared as they wept, having been splashed with paint. Everyone grew even more frightened as they watched what unfurled in the office. Hilda would probably have yet another stack of resignation letters on her desk tomorrow. Who would want to work in a place where their safety couldn't be guaranteed?Soon, the landlord began to smash the glass wall ferociously. Everyone could see every bit of dementedness in his face.They huddled in a group as their fear reached a fever peak, afraid that the landlord would smash the glass door at any moment and charge in to kill them.Hilda had a cold gaze as she glanced at the terrifying landlord and his
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
