Arrogantly, Sahara walked toward them on her heels as she took off her sunglasses slowly. The moment she saw Hilda and the others, she immediately knew what they were here for. "Huh! Looks like you guys found out about our plan. You've been following right behind our asses after finding out that we're here to find Jude McCoy" Mockery was evident in her tone as soon as she opened her mouth and spoke. Taking two steps forward, Hilda gazed down and said, "Wow! You're wearing a skirt again." When Sahara heard the word 'skirt', she was so frightened that she took two steps back subconsciously, remembering the fear of being stripped by Hilda in public. With anger and hatred, she gritted her teeth and said, "A country bumpkin like you also wants to join the fashion industry? What a joke! You better go back and play with your dog!" Not willing to lose the fight, Hilda replied, "If even a swimmer can do it, why can't I?" After she said that, she turned around on her heels and walked tow
The next day, Hilda went to the McCoy Residence again. She stopped 500 meters away from the manor, as she was afraid that she would be attacked by another wave of rotten eggs. He's not answering the phone, and I'm so far away from him now. How do I get him to talk to me? "Say it as I told you to." said Hilda to Toby, who was standing next to her. With a loathsome expression, Toby took the loudspeaker out from the car and turned it on. Clearing his throat, Toby took a deep breath and said, "Mr. McCoy, I can heal your wife's eyes! Mr. McCoy, I can heal your wife's eyes! Mr. McCoy, I can heal your wife's eyes!" Toby's amplified voice was spread across a 5 kilometer radius from where they stood, and it was as loud as the wet market in Taadi City at 6 AM. The sound scared the neighbors, leading them to come out to see what was going on. The driver drove the car around the McCoy Residence again and again in order to make sure that Jude could hear them from all directions. Nathan and
Jude wiped his tears away and he looked like he was a few years older than Nathan, though they were almost of the same age. Recalling the experience, Hilda had a lot more to talk about. "Back then, I survived that catastrophe." That was a memory that she didn't want to remember. Until today, she still did not know how she got through it. Perhaps, it was fate. Connie gave away the cure she had invested billions in after she found Hilda. Not only had she emptied her stock, but she also sent experts to all major pharmaceutical factories to guide the production of the cure without charging them. She had even disclosed the formula of the cure and vaccines to the public. She spent billions to find the cure, but she got nothing in return. However, she was still very happy because she got her daughter back. Billions were nothing compared to her daughter. Wiping his tears, Jude sobbed. "All these years, I've put the blame on others. But, the fault... was actually mine. I'm an incompetent
The area outside Jordan Town had been rebuilt. The fertile land was covered with farmland and gardens. It looked very vibrant, as if nothing had ever happened here before. Suddenly, someone came up to Jude. Turning around, he saw a woman standing behind him. The woman had a slender figure and her eyes were cold and sharp. She had a pair of mysterious blue eyes. Although she looked about the same age as Jude, her eyes were so deep and mysterious that they looked like an impenetrable mountain. "Are you Mr. McCoy? I'm Connie." Connie! Jude did not expect the person in front of him to be the legendary Connie Jordan, the head of the Jordan Family, though she looked exactly like what he imagined her to look like. Without waiting for Jude to answer, Connie continued, "Please come with me, Mr. McCoy. There's someone you might want to meet." Not knowing the meaning behind Connie's sudden appearance and who the person he was going to meet was, Jude followed suit. Leading Jude down the t
It had been snowing in Taadi City recently. Therefore, Rex took the three huskies out to enjoy the snow. While walking the three dogs, he walked in front while the three dogs followed behind him. The leashes were stretched tightly when they suddenly loosened without warning. By the time he looked back, only the leashes were left, the dogs were gone. Then, he burst into tears with a loud wail at the sight... Hilda decided that she was going to kill the two Bowen Family members. Since Arlo is forcing my hand, he can't blame me for this! I can't believe we have the same blood running through our veins. If I don't kill those two younger brothers, I won't be able to live down the shame! When Nathan heard that the huskies had been stolen, he was so pleased that he nearly jumped for joy. Hurray for the Bowen Family! They finally did something right! Don't give up! Next time, steal the chicken too! Soon, the family prepared to return home. On the way to the airport, several black cars si
At Smith City, a group of people finally captured the three dogs. Unfortunately, the dragon head made of pure gold sitting on top of the ancestral throne sported several bite marks. Arlo was so pained by the sight that he grabbed the leader of the huskies and yelled at it. "What the hell do you think you're doing?! I endured it when you bit the tables, chairs, and doors. But, why did you have to bite the Emperor's throne?! Do you know how valuable that is?! The Bowen Family brought it here from Taadi a long time ago! It has nearly a thousand years of history! Even if I sold off your entire family, it wouldn't be able to compensate for the damage you caused! Is it because you want to bite people?! Well, come on then! Bite me! Go on!" Then, Kater opened its mouth wide and chomped down on Arlo. With a 'crunch', it bit down on his watch. The gold and diamond encrusted watch worth hundreds of millions instantly fell apart under the strength of the dog's titanic alloy teeth. It shattered
Oliver had been bragging about the psychic grandmaster and praising the grandmaster to the moon and back. He also claimed that the grandmaster could be traced back to the Bowen Dynasty thousands of years ago. The 'grandmaster' title had been passed down from generation to generation, and the grandmaster's powers were boundless. As long as the grandmaster used his powers, Hilda and her party members would be completely wiped out, all the ghosts and monsters would have to retreat, and the Smith Group would quickly return to normal. However, the employees were very doubtful. Will this really work? The ritual went smoothly. Using Hilda's hair as a guide, the grandmaster used the Bowen Family's Dragon Blood to write a magic spell that would suppress her vitality. In the future, she would never threaten the Smith Group again! "Bow to the heavens!" The psychic grandmaster's voice rang out like a huge bell. He took the lead and knelt on the ground, bowing in the direction of the altar.
Before the sun rose again the next day, the suicide incident at the Smith Group's office building had spread across the entire Taadi City. Various short video clips were circulating on the internet. In the age of the internet, the suicide at the Smith Group could not be kept under wraps no matter how hard they tried to sweep it under the rug. Once again, Oliver and Oscar were taken to the police station to aid in the investigation. The entrance of the Smith Group's office building was cordoned off by the police, and the company was forced to shut down for several days. Somebody had died in the building, combined with the rumors from a while back, none of the employees dared to turn up for work. Besides, the employees were already feeling uneasy in the first place. That was why Oliver had brought in the grandmaster to soothe their fears. Contrary to his expectations, the grandmaster had killed himself instead. The Smith Group was finished! Even the psychic grandmaster was dead! In
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
