“Yes. He’s the most powerful gangster in Country Y. He’s involved in both legal and illegal business, violating countless criminal laws of Country Y. He’ll do anything to achieve his goal,” Stanley Batton said.Xyla Quest was not surprised by his answer. She had already guessed it, more or less.No wonder he was so arrogant.Following that statement, Stanley carried her carefully in his arms and hopped into the helicopter.The rest followed behind him one after another.Zack Cassidy was in charge of flying the helicopter. After everyone had settled down, Zack pulled the controller, and the helicopter gradually ascended. “How did you get him to let you go?” Questions were swimming in Stanley’s mind. Xyla recounted the ins and outs of the whole incident to him.After listening to her explanation, Stanley mumbled, “I didn’t know there’s such a story behind him…”“Yeah… I’m very lucky indeed. Otherwise…”He could feel his scalp prickle, hearing her stutter. Immediately, he st
The ferocious aura he emitted struck all his men in the backseat.Stanley Batton did not say anything else. He pulled Xyla Quest onto his lap and caressed her lovingly as though she was a fragile gem. “Master Lancelot has already taught her a lesson. He said that she’d be treated the way she wanted me to be treated,” Xyla said. “Mhm.” Stanley responded apathetically.“How did you and Master Lancelot meet?” Xyla asked.“Dragon Group has dealings with his legal company,” Stanley answered truthfully. His slim fingers ran through her hair gently, as if he was patting a noble Persian cat.***About half an hour later, the helicopter arrived at their villa.The helicopter gradually landed on the helipad.Zack Cassidy was the first to get out of the helicopter. He then walked over to open the door for the two of them, courteously. Carrying Xyla carefully in his arms, Stanley jumped out of the helicopter and headed straight to the living room.The living room was warm and cozy.
Meanwhile, in her home, Georgie Clementine was going through the Heroes Assemble forum in her study.Everyone was discussing her wedding with Cloud Piercer that was soon taking place.Some people wished them well, while others said crude things out of jealousy.Many insulted Cloud Piercer.Countless low-level accounts were trying to get people riled up in the forum by saying that Cloud Piercer’s company in the real world actually went bankrupt and that he was in a terrible financial position.Their basis for this was that Cloud Piercer hadn’t spent a lot of money in the game.Although the rumor seemed fake right away, a lot of people fell for it.Under this post, many people commented about how sorry they felt for Georgie.“D*mn. I feel so bad for Extraordinary Geo. I thought she was going to get married to a rich tycoon in the game. I thought this would have a happy ending like Cinderella and Prince Charming, but the fairytale had ended before it even began.”“To be honest, C
Extraordinary Geo remained silent.“Hurry up and put the clothes on. I’m sure you wouldn’t want people to think that you’re getting married to a poor bugger, right?” Cloud Piercer asked.“I don’t mind,” Extraordinary Geo replied.“But I care about my image. Hurry up, put them on. Think of it as doing me a favor by teaching these people a lesson,” Cloud Piercer said.After hesitating momentarily, Georgie put on all the equipment he had gifted her.Suddenly, Georgie’s character in the game looked much classier.With the white wedding dress on, her character in the game looked like a fairy that originated from the heavens.In fact, the wedding dress had its golden halo effect. Her entire body was glowing brightly on the screen.In the next second, everyone started spamming in the chat space.“D*mn… I’m going blind from all that bling. Look at Extraordinary Geo’s equipment!”“D*mn. How much does this cost? Who said Cloud Piercer was broke? I’m going to fight that person who made
When Georgie Clementine looked at the wedding scene in the game, her heart was full of joy…Some things were truly hard to predict.Before Georgie started playing this game, she told herself that she would only play it casually. She never thought of falling in love or even getting married on the internet.However, without realizing it, all her earlier presumptions were forgone, and the unexpected happened.After circling the city with the entourage of wedding guests, they arrived at a portal to enter to get to their honeymoon destination.Their carriage automatically entered the portal, while other players were kept outside by the system.After entering the portal, they arrived at a luxurious, palace-like place. There were congratulatory decorations in red all over the place, and many red candles were lit.It looked exactly like the kind of place a newlywed couple would spend their first night together.Another message appeared on Georgie’s screen. “Cloud Piercer is inviting yo
At night, Josh Batton still needed to film for Teenage Idol. Georgie Clementine needed to be there as well.There was still a large pile of documents waiting to be signed by her in the office.***The next morning, when Xyla Quest woke up, Stanley Batton was still not by her side.Xyla lazily sat up in bed.After looking around, she noticed there wasn’t any note. She knew that he probably hadn’t left and was making breakfast downstairs.When Xyla thought about Stanley, a pleasant smile appeared on her face.“Beep, beep, beep…”Just as she was about to get out of bed, her phone rang.A news headline appeared on the screen.“Is Skyview Hotel going down the drain soon?”Xyla immediately tapped into the news and checked it out.She was shocked by what came into sight.“At 8 o’clock Atlantis time, Skyview Hotel’s investors all over the world began requesting for their investment capital to be withdrawn. As soon as the news got out, various major banks in the world requested the
Sebastian Brenand never would have thought that Rachel Wood would say such a thing.In the past few months, Sebastian and Rachel had always been on good terms.He had given her everything, including money, a car, a house, jewelry, branded bags, and branded clothes.It could be said that Rachel was the luckiest woman among those who had rich boyfriends.Sebastian immediately let go of Rachel and sat up with a confused look in his eyes. “Rachel, why are you doing this? Haven’t I given you everything you wanted? Nobody in the entire city of Atlantis has treated their women this well…”At that moment, Sebastian felt his heart aching very badly.“Yeah…” Rachel nodded.“So, why are you doing this?” Sebastian pressed on.Rachel slowly sat up and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her face was pale.“This morning, a woman called you on the phone. You told her you would meet her tonight…” Rachel said.“Yeah… What’s wrong with that?” Sebastian still felt confused.“If I only think
“There are a lot of things we can’t decide on. For example, we don’t get to choose who we marry. In my case, my family would find the most suitable woman for me to marry. Even if I don’t think we’re compatible, they wouldn’t care,” Sebastian Brenand said with a bitter smile.Rachel Wood remained silent and nodded. “Can you please go out? I want to be alone for a while,” she said.Sebastian dried her tears. “In that case, have some time to yourself. I’ll return to check on you later. I think there’s something urgent at home,” he said.“Okay,” Rachel replied softly.Sebastian turned around and left the ward right away.After he had left, Rachel broke down in tears. She fell onto her bed, and her sobs grew louder.She shouldn’t have made the huge mistake of falling in love with her sugar-daddy.If that hadn’t happened, she could still be happy now.‘Goodbye, Sebastian Brenand… We’ll never meet again.’Not long after Sebastian had left, Rachel packed her things up and left the hos
