When Levi got to the hospital, his father had already fallen unconscious. He walked up to the doctor attending to him."Oh Mr Lloyd, you are here. We already sedated him when he was going out of control. He'll be out for longer this time and will hopefully wake up calmer.""But I should tell you this," The doctor hung his stethoscope around his neck. "Sedating your father consecutively will have an adverse effect."Levi ran his fingers through his hair anxiously. He glanced at Thomas and asked, "Wasn't he already faring better than before? Why did this suddenly happen?""The nurse who was assigned to him had to deal with an emergency and couldn't show up so we got another temporary nurse for him," The doctor adjusted his glass frame as he focused on Levi."We didn't expect despite being in this condition, your father would notice and go hysterical while calling out for—"Levi's ears quirked when the doctor suddenly paused and looked at him with a quizzical look."Mr Lloyd, who is Hann

Levi walked out in confident strides. The tuxedo felt comfortable and fitted him like a glove.Feeling the texture of the expensive clothing materials that must have been used to design the tux, it filled him with a sense of cockiness."Woah! Someone's looking dashing," Brooklyn cheered and gave him a thumbs-up.She turned to the mirror to look at her reflection again not expecting him to stand behind her.Her breath hitched as she watched him through the mirror. His stunning blue eyes shone brightly as he asked in a husky tone,"So... How do we look?"'The perfect couple,' she answered inwardly but didn't dare to say it out loud. However, she gasped when his hand suddenly snake around her waist from behind."What are you doing?" Her voice came out more of a whisper than she'd liked.Levi smiled as her face flamed. Good, he wasn't the only one feeling it. "Shouldn't we rehearse for tomorrow? You know, some PDA? For show of course."Brooklyn's cheeks instantly got two large circles of

Brooklyn resisted the urge to roll her eyes because she recognized the voice too well.Contrary to how she was feeling, she lifted her face and gave the heavily pregnant woman in front of her a beautiful smile.Outsiders hearing her speak would have thought she was a good friend of Brooklyn but in actual fact, they never got along either in college or now.Back then, Anastasia was just a poor girl who had managed to get into an Ivy League college.She hated Brooklyn to the core because she was the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in San Jose.She got everything she wanted freely because she was born with a silver spoon. A privilege Anastasia didn't get.What more? Brooklyn was smart, ranked top of classes and had guys chasing after her."Hi Anastasia, we meet again," Brooklyn felt like Anastasia wanted to rip off the smile on her face.'Steele even invited nouveau riches to his banquet too? If I had known, I wouldn't have attended today and would've just sent my gifts.'Afte

Brooklyn bade farewell to the Steele's and helped Levi out because he was tipsy and staggering.This is because the stubborn man insisted on drinking the alcoholic drinks offered to her that night. Although it warmed her heart, he still got drunk in the process.However, just as they were getting to the door, a middle-aged man obstructed their path."Good evening, Mrs Brooklyn. I have been searching for an opportunity all night to introduce myself to you."Brooklyn looked up and her face turned grim because she recognized the man.He was a nouveau riche who had tried to acquire a contract with the Hernandez's Group once.The contract was almost successful but Brooklyn's sources found out the man was involved in some kind of fraud and the materials he provided for the project were below the standards required.That was how the contract fell through."Hello Mister, you'll have to reach out some other time. As you can see, I'm leaving," Brooklyn didn't want to waste time talking with suc

Levi kept the property deed away and powered on the PC again.Putting away the astonishing thoughts of how he had just inherited a property worth hundreds of millions, he quickly navigated the system back to the mercenary webpage.Just as he logged into the web, a notification popped up.[Sabre sent a request to be your comrade]He chuckled at the use of the word 'comrade' instead of friend and clicked on the notification. That was when he saw that others including Hades, Valkyrie and so on had sent requests too.As soon as he accepted all the requests, Sabre sent a message with a link attached to it.[Blackwing, I'm inviting you to a mission]Levi arched a brow. He didn't know one could be invited to a mission. He clicked on the link and was redirected to a webpage.The mission was only just posted a few minutes ago and didn't have many members who already indicated interest.[Infiltrate a well guarded rival company to retrieve some data][Reward: 1000$][Three spots taken.
