Terry paused for a moment, thinking of how he could explain what had happened, then said, "Sir, although I can explain, it'll be difficult to believe. So it's better if I show you what happened, instead. Can you bring my computer from the house? There's a video of the entire event." He was trying to avoid explaining at all.
"No need to wait—I brought them all with you," Arieh answered, then took out his phone and called someone to bring the computers that had been taken from the house.
During the wait, Terry asked, "By the way, why isn't she waking up?" He tilted his head toward Katrina, whose head was still hanging down.
"Ah. She'll be asleep for a while, as the dosage of our tranquilizer was the same for her as it was for you. So it'll take her longer to come out of it. Don't worry, she'll wake up in a few hours... but that'll be the least of your problems if you don't give me a reasonable explanation for your failure." As Arieh was speaking, the door op
Rina had been watching the conversation between the fake Arieh and Terry, who had no idea that the Arieh he was talking to was a fake.She wasn't angry at her brother's attempt to kill her at all, but disappointed instead. She would have been angry if he had succeeded in killing someone close to her—something that would've happened if she were under the protection of her own security team at the time the attempted assassination had taken place. But now that she'd survived it and had solid evidence in hand, she was... oddly happy. With the evidence she had, the competition between the Rothschild family's potential heirs would officially be in the bag. Her brother had broken one of the family's strictest rules: never attempt to take a relative's life, especially one of the direct descendants. Competition, within strict limits, would grow the family, but killing a relative—even if said relative was the most useless waste of space ever—would be harmful to the fa
The news broadcast on Arieh's tv cut to a man in a suit behind a podium."A spokesperson for the local police department made a brief statement, saying, 'We're treating this incident with the utmost seriousness, given the unusual circumstances surrounding it. Our top priority is to bring those responsible to justice and provide closure to the affected families.'"The broadcast cut to another slow pan across the emergency vehicles blocking the LaGuardia access road."As the investigation unfolds, the shocking incident has left the city on edge, and many residents demanding answers. The motive behind the attack, if indeed it was planned, remains unknown at this time. We'll continue providing updates on this developing story as more information becomes available."..."Finally, that bitch is dead!" Arieh jumped in celebration and hugged Charlotte, who didn't even attempt to block his advance at all as he continued jumping up and down.Although
After Rina's secretary and Alex were escorted to the waiting room, Rina was left with Aron. They still had a few things to discuss, as they had postponed some of their conversation for when she arrived and they could speak face to face."So.... Are you sure you don't want therapy or something?" Aron asked to start the conversation. It was definitely an interesting beginning."Not really. I was more angry than afraid, so the fear wasn't really my main focus. And because my safety was assured, I got over it during the flight and can say with assurance that, no, I don't need one," she answered after a brief moment of contemplation to ensure her answer was sincere. "By the way, is there a maximum time that I can stay here after the celebration?" She knew she was in one of the most secret and sensitive places on the planet, but she needed time to decide her next course of action."There's no time limit. How long do you plan to stay?" he asked out of curiosity and exp
"Looks like we found our beneficiary," Aubrey said as he and his son watched the parade on a tablet given to them by his assistant. It was the same one responsible for leading the investigation on who benefited the most from their loss in Esparia.The image was the same as the one that had enraged Arieh, showing Aron and Rina conversing and smiling in happiness. It seemed like they really enjoyed each other's company."Who's that?" George asked the assistant."Aron Michael, the sole owner of GAIA Technology and Connect," the assistant answered."What connection is there between an up-and-coming billionaire and the Rothchilds?" Aubrey asked. He knew that company, thanks to the Morgans being involved in forcefully acquiring the technology from them in order to benefit from it. That said, even up until now, they had gained nothing substantial for their efforts. "Is it so he could take revenge on us for stealing his technology using the government?" he contin
"That was really impressive," Rina said as she boarded the car to leave. The public celebration had officially ended in the afternoon, although the unofficial one would continue after the lunch provided by the government. But none of the foreign dignitaries would be at any of these celebrations, which would continue until midnight. A few singers had even been booked for the night's events."I was impressed, too," Aron said as he started the car and drove toward the tallest building in Edenia.They continued chatting as he drove, and when they arrived, they got off and took an elevator to the roof, where a helicopter was waiting for them."Do you have anywhere you want to visit?" Aron asked."How about we tour the city? I want to see the projects you're working on," Rina said, some excitement showing on her face. She was very curious about what Aron was working on.He agreed and sent an updated route to the pilot's HUD. The new route would take them
Aron woke up feeling quite happy. He couldn't help but smile when he remembered last night. Although they were both first-timers, he really hadn't disappointed at all, going five rounds before he was forced to stop as he realized the difference between his stamina and Rina's. He had to give her a breather, as she had nearly passed out from that many orgasms. And with it being her first sexual experience, he had nearly broken her, but they still fell asleep in each other's arms with smiles on their faces.He turned his head and looked at Rina, who was sleeping with her head pillowed on his arm. It would have been a nightmare, if he was a normal person, but he was feeling nothing of the sort at all; his blood supply couldn't be interrupted by such a light head. It was just another benefit of being overpowered.He watched her for a few minutes without doing anything until Rina's eyes fluttered and opened, meeting his.Aron, who had been caught gazing at her, flashe
A week later.Aron was going at it with Rina in one of the mansions built for him in the universal simulation, their tenth round of the day. That had been a frequent activity over the past week, since Aron had spent most of his time with her doing many different things... including skinship. And since there was no pain in the simulation, they constantly did it as if they were trying to make up for all of the time they had lived without it.They had become completely addicted to each other.Everything had happened after they'd clarified their relationship the moment Rina had woken up, as Aron didn't want to delay the conversation. He had seen many movies where any kind of delay at all would result in the main character losing their chance, so he went for it. And it seemed that she'd seen the same movies, since she had wanted to have 'The Talk' as soon as she woke up as well. Thus, they had officially started dating; it was a first for both of them.In the
The rest of the month, the citizens of Eden had wide smiles on their faces whenever they remembered the announcement, and speculation on who would win the bid ran rampant.Together with that, a few opposition parties had already been formed and announced their candidacy for president. Leading the officially formed parties were the other revolutionary leaders, who were very jealous of Alexander's position. They each trusted that they had enough support to win, between their followers and the recognition they had as leaders of the revolution against Adolf. This belief stemmed from believing that Alexander just got lucky and was missed when they got arrested as he was the leader with the fewest direct followers, after all.Although many people would have thought that forming an alliance would make it a bit easier for them to win the election, that wasn't an easy thing to do. Not many people would give up their opportunity to grasp power when they had it, something an alliance would requi
