The Emerald Bank embezzlement case was a hot topic among the rich, including the Laureves. The whole family was celebrating Lucy's birthday. Since Zayden was her husband, the Rauverons were invited to the private event."I heard the Orionis Star is in a bad situation," Wylie did not discuss the Emerald Bank like the others.Zayden had been trained to keep a straight face in public. When everyone at the table looked at him, he gave them a nice smile."SIS is a new rival for my company. But business is like that, right? Like LRV and CFT competing in the entertainment field. LRV has remained consistent with its strong influence. Orionis Star has a good reputation for a long time, so the current problems will quickly pass.""Dad, why discuss work on my birthday?" Lucy pouted, hugging Zayden's arm. Her gaze fell on Brigitta, who was enjoying some cake. "I hear Brigitta has something important to say to all of us."Brigitta stopped putting a piece of cake into her mouth. There were five oth
Warrick was dumbfounded by the love percentage Iris had for him. Then, he turned to Grant, who was still looking at him resentfully.The system revealed that Grant's love percentage reached 30%, which was strange.For people new to Warrick, their love percentage was usually neutral or minus because of the bad rumors about him. He was sure he had never met Grant before.But Grant's Love Detector results indicated that he had been watching Warrick for a certain time. The rumors out there had no effect on him."You didn't come here as enemies, huh?" Warrick finally spoke after done with his surprise.Since Iris mentioned Grace's name, the two of them seemed to know each other in the past. But Warrick knew nothing because his mother rarely talked about her friends.Always busy with work and other things, Grace preferred to listen to her son's stories when she had free time."I think I'll die first before I can avenge Grace," Iris closed her eyes and caught her breath, trying hard not to g
"Well, you're ready!"Damian looked at his reflection in the mirror. As Warrick had said, Lacey could change his appearance with makeup.His hairstyle and color were changed to brown with a neat cut. Lacey made a fake burn scar on the left side of his face, giving the impression he was a loyal bodyguard ready to fight fire for his master.He was not allowed to wear glasses because the people of The Orchid Combine might have remembered it. His eye color was also changed to green.Without the glasses, it was hard for him to trust people. But he had to take them off for his safety. They would only be taken out when necessary."Thank you for helping me," Damian said as he got up from the chair. "I'm going to Sky Vision now."Lacey just smiled and waved goodbye to Damian's departure. Just like him, she needed to go too. Last night, Warrick had suddenly changed the task given to her.He was originally assigned to spy on the Nerelart family members to get evidence of their crimes. Surprising
SIS was already on top thanks to its accurate stock predictions. If Warrick wanted to make his company even more viral, he would have to create an even bigger sensation.What should he do? He could not possibly make a scandal to push SIS known throughout Radix.But there was no quicker way to get famous than involved in a scandal. Warrick did not want to just let go of Goddess Axara's gift.The new business would add to his wealth and reputation. How could he pass that up?"Is there a problem, Sir?" Soren asked with concern as Warrick's expression looked worse than before.Warrick shook his head and refocused on the document he was reading. It was a report about a spike in client sign-ups.Too many had come to SIS overwhelming the consultants and financial advisors. The sales team had also been directed not to take on any new clients until a certain time."You can hire more employees to solve this problem," Soren suggested, thinking Warrick had a headache about that.He continued, "We
Warrick could not possibly stare at all the members of Nerelart at once. They might consider him impolite. So, he made eye contact with them as naturally as possible.Everyone looked at Warrick with different expressions, but mostly uncertainty. It was true that they did not want to be tied up with The Orchid Combine anymore, but they wanted a useful alliance like Hugo.[Ding!][Goddess Axara gives you another quest: Influence the Nerelart family to accept you as an alliance.Reward: 5% of Emerald Bank shares.Penalty: None.]From the quest, Warrick was even more convinced by his assumption that not all Nerelart family members accepted him. He had bought Emerald Bank shares using Foresee Potential Investment.But getting another 5% was a big advantage. His conversation with Iris might be long or short depending on the situation, so he had to communicate well to improve his image."How about I introduce my family members first?" Iris thought Warrick did not know all the Nerelart family
Aelish would take the day off to attend the Nerelart family party. It was the 60th anniversary of the Emerald Bank. The crew and actors were also tired from working non-stop for the past few days, so she decided to give them a break.Just like yesterday, Brigitta was on set and acted like she was close to the crew. She even helped the actors practice."There's really no schedule tomorrow?" she asked as she walked up to Aelish."Yeah, we're taking the whole day off," Aelish replied nonchalantly. Warrick told her to let Brigitta spy on her."What are you going to do tomorrow?" Brigitta tried to pry for more information.Aelish had yet to guess what would happen at the party. But since Warrick did not ask her to send Brigitta away, that meant it was fine if she revealed a bit of their activities."I'll come to the Emerald Bank's party. Since you're part of the Laureves family, you should get an invitation too."Hearing that, Brigitta's face turned gloomy. Tomorrow, Iris would be celebrat
The party hall instantly became silent due to Iris' statement. Everyone needed time to digest what she meant. But even when they understood, they could not say anything in shock.The members of The Orchid Combine were present at this party, so no one predicted that Iris would take such a crazy action. They had already heard rumors Warrick had something to do with the embezzlement case.Back then, all they could think was that he was trying to annoy Iris, and she would take care of it. They were upset to find out the two of them had ended up in an alliance."Have you lost your mind?!" Cassius finally got over his shock. He glared at Warrick, who was grinning at him from the stage. "Are you really siding with this lunatic?""You and I are both crazy, so it doesn't matter who she chooses," Warrick replied, making everyone gasp in shock."How dare you equate yourself with me!""Ah, right. You're lower than me. Please forgive my mistake."People started whispering about Warrick's actions.
Ashton was already hiding in the hallway connected to the party hall and he could hear everything that was happening. The people he brought were retired soldiers.He did not take the soldiers on duty for his benefit. Although the retirees had not been in combat for a long time, their years of experience could still be seen."That Eamon guy has strong people," Killian, who was monitoring the situation directly, reported to Ashton through a special communication device connected to an earpiece.Ashton glanced at his watch. "How long do you think this fight will take?""I'm not sure. Probably about an hour.""You can take care of this by yourself, right?"Killian did not answer because one of Eamon's troops found him. While dodging his opponent's shots, he replied, "Leave this to me, General!"He darted towards his opponent, caught his hand, and twisted it until the gun fell to the floor. Another opponent appeared but he quickly turned the previous one into his human shield."You're not
