The girl can’t hide her guilty looks, realizing that she has accidentally unveiled what’s inside her dirty mind.“Uh, I, I, I mean your body!” Naomi refutes in stutter. “I didn’t touch your body! Look! You passed out with wet clothes. I couldn’t just leave you like that. You could get a cold.”“So you took off my clothes?” Thomas asks slowly.Naomi nods a few times, so fast, with rigid movements.“And you saw everything?”Now the girl looks so guilty, crossing her fingers in her chest. Still with blushing cheeks, she glances to the left to avoid Thomas’s intimidating gaze.Thomas turns around, rubbing his head with a frustrated expression, and then limps away from her.“No, please!” Naomi rushes to him. “Don’t be mad at me! I had no other choice!”Laura notices Thomas getting out of the house with Naomi. Some greedy hope slowly creeps into her heart. She then gets out of the car, thinking that Oliver must have bought the house for her.She even shows so much confidence to confront Thom
Thomas grimaces, looking so stupid with their antics. He looks so uninterested in interfering with them, and walks away by dragging his weak legs.Meanwhile, Naomi is still finding the fun in making Sylvia annoyed. “Look at that! Your fiancé apparently loves me much more. He doesn’t want me to be hurt. It’s a testament of how much he cares about my pretty face.”“You shut up, ass hole!” Sylvia shouts by pointing a finger at Naomi. “Stop teasing my fiancé, you damned girl!”Not wanting to create another conflict with the Saunders Family, Oliver pulls Sylvia away from Naomi. But Sylvia isn’t stopping in arguing with her.“You’re a hoe! Dirty hoe!”“I said enough!” Oliver takes Sylvia inside the house and then closes the door. “You are going to put me and my dad in a difficult situation, you know that?!”“Why are you siding with her?” Sylvia pulls her hand. She looks so pissed off. “I’m your fiancée! You should be on my side, not her!”It makes Oliver frustrated. “I’m not siding with her!
“How would I know that he would be able to walk again? Even the doctors have given up on him,” answers Laura defensively.“Haven’t you realized it yet? Donovan matched Sylvia with him for a reason. He couldn't be just an ordinary man. Now he even has a connection with the Saunders.”“Well! You have to hire those people again to kill him. He must die!”Joaquin starts to look restless. His slick hair has become messy for being rubbed so many times.A moment later, he realizes that the situation has become so quiet. Oliver and Sylvia's argument can no longer be heard anymore.He turns around, and finds Oliver walking towards him, with Sylvia still standing in the meals room with a suspicious gaze.Joaquin becomes uneasy, afraid that Oliver and Sylvia might have heard his conversation with his wife just now. But…“Uncle Joaquin! Please excuse me! I still have work to do!”Oliver hands over the house keys to Joaquin, and then walks towards the front door.“Hey, Oliver!” Laura rushes to that
Just before arriving at Sommerchill, Alfred tells Thomas that he will drop him off on the road, because he doesn’t want to enter that district area.However, Naomi insists that Alfred take Thomas to his apartment. They even start an argument, with Thomas just silently watching them fight.“Are you scared? It seems like my father was wrong to hire you!””“Look! If something happens to you, the job is not the only thing I’d lose. Your father would kill me!”But then, Alfred turns silent. Confusion is clearly seen in his face as he observes his surroundings.“What’s wrong?” asks Naomi.Alfred doesn’t immediately give her an answer. They are now almost entering the Sommechill district, but the place is not like how Alfred used to know.There are many small street vendors, with people walking leisurely on the pedestrian. There are even teenagers walking along in peace without so much alertness. It is far from the scary impression as Alfred described.Indeed, he has not visited this place fo
Thomas gets inside the apartment building, and climbs the stairs with his weak legs. Once he gets to the door to his apartment, he issues a specific command.“Inventory! Box. No. 39! Take out key number 1!”But nothing happens. There’s no blue light appearing, no item dropping, nothing.“What’s going on here?” he mumbles as he rubs his neck. “My necklace? Ah, shit! I must have left it in that room! Daaamn!”He rubs his forehead with an awry face. Moments later, he bangs on the door, calling out several names in a hectic way.“Diego! Luca! Mateo! It’s me, Thomas! Hey, you guys! Are you in there?”No one answers. But he keeps banging on the door, until a slightly fat old man appears to greet him.“Mister Hendrix, Sir! You are back!”“Oh, Mr. Finley! Yeah, it’s just me! Didn’t I tell you to stop calling me mister or sir? I’m much younger than you!”“Why?” The old shrugs. “You are the boss, and there’s no one else here. Is there anything I can help you with?”“I lost my key. The other one
After finishing his conversation with Naomi, Thomas opens a small safe deposit box that is planted in a wall.There isn’t much in the safe, only six necklaces with unique amulets. For Thomas, these amulets are far more important and valuable than the $100 million in the coffin.He unsheathes the katana slightly, and lightly scratches the tip of his thumb with the blade. He holds one of the amulets, placing his bloody thumb on one side of it that has a pattern which looks like an electronic chip.Suddenly, a notification in the form of a blue hologram appears before him.[!][An S-rank hunter has been identified][Name : Thomas Hendrix][Age : 23][Condition : 87 % fit][Balance : 0 Gold Coins][The exchange rate today is $964 for one Gold Coin][To gain Gold Coins, please go back to Icalaterra and complete some quests]Thomas waves his hand on that hologram, and it immediately disappears. He issues a command to open his inventory, and then, another interface occures showing 40 small bo
It’s already past 10 p.m. Meanwhile, Laura Underwood is still busy helping her daughter packs her things.Laura and her husband have already moved most of their belongings into their new house in Strugist Hill.The only thing holding them back now is Veronica, their only daughter, a teenage girl who is currently a senior in high school. It’s not easy for them to persuade the daughter to leave Donovan’s residence.“Then what about school?” the girl whines. “Strugist Hill is too far. It will take an hour and a half from there to my school.”“Your father can drop you off before he goes to work,” Laura replies, forcing to carry her daughter’s suitcases out of the house.“That’s not the problem, mom! If I have to live there, it means I have to wake up much early. Besides, I’ll be too far from my friends.”Laura doesn’t budge, and puts the two suitcases in the trunk of the car. “You can invite your friends to stay at our house in the weekend. Haven’t you always asked my permission to bring f
While her daughter is still confused, Laura looks so desperate and pathetic. She slowly drops to her knees, and starts crying with a pitiful face.“Oh, God! Why can’t you let me have a peaceful life just for a while?”“Mom? Why are you crying?” asks Veronica with a clueless face.Laura just keeps sobbing. “My house? Hiks! Oh, God! Why?”“What the hell?”Veronica’s face turns pale. She holds her head, thinking about the party invitation she has just posted in her social media.She can already imagine how embarrassed she will be after her friends learn what has happened. Her dream of living like a princess has shattered before her eyes.“Is that… Is that our dream house?”The ownership of the house has been transferred to Laura this afternoon. Only six hours the house in her possession, but it’s already been destroyed.Joshua Morris can be said to have fulfilled his promise to buy her the house. There is no way she can ask the man to buy her a new one.Joaquin gets out of the car, and st
