What?Raylon is the one picking up Aurora? Dharia’s face instantly fell. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling an intense urge to stab her half-sister with a knife. But since she was surrounded by many people, she had no choice but to control her emotions and remain calm.“No matter what, she’s still my sister. And he’s an employee of Diamond Group. It’s only natural that she would hitch a ride with Mr. Raylon to get here,” Dharia said. She was someone who was very particular about maintaining her image. Therefore, she couldn’t admit to the problem in front of so many people. After hearing her explanation, Timone nodded and showed an understanding expression. “Oh, I see. But, Dharia, why haven’t I seen Richard today?” “Hm?” Dharia murmured, feeling confused. “Didn’t he say he was going to bet with you? He said he was going to throw a birthday party for Aurora that would amaze everyone, right?” Dharia rolled her eyes, unable to hide the disdainful look in her eyes. “Someone
How shocking and terrifying it was. The most terrifying part wasn’t the line of luxury cars. It was the words on the signs atop the cars. Famous companies from Rio Dio Country. The bosses of the underground forces that instill fear in people. People who are usually only seen on TV.Today, everyone gathered to celebrate Miss Nelsons’ birthday. Passersby were stunned by the astonishing sight. Some even exclaimed, “Wow! That’s Emperor Group! The company that ranks in the top ten in Ligos city, Emperor Group! OMG!”“Oh my... the formation. It’s truly amazing!”“Who is Miss Nelsons? How could she mobilize major companies in Ligos city and get so many people to drive luxury cars to celebrate her birthday? Is there really someone that impressive in Almolia City?”“There’s more! Isn’t that the boss... Isn’t he someone we only hear about in rumors?”Everyone was curious about who Miss Nelsons was. They busily took out their phones and snapped pictures of the incredibly spectacular and surprisi
Richard’s right hand gripped the knife tightly. He then swung the knife towards the red wire on the bomb with the fastest and most agile movements.Now, both their lives depended on the red wire he was about to cut.If the red wire was the bomb’s main wire, they could survive. But if it wasn’t, he and Number 6 would die without intact bodies.It must be correct!Richard trusted his own judgment and abilities. The red wire must be the main wire of the bomb.“2 seconds.”Click!The red wire was cut cleanly with one swift motion of the knife.Tit... tit... ti....The terrifying warning sound from the bomb gradually weakened and eventually stopped.Richard suddenly exerted force on his toes pressed against the floor. His body, which had entered the engine compartment, was ejected out. As his body flew out of the engine compartment, he performed a 90-degree rotation in the air.Cling!His legs landed steadily. However, due to the intense heat in the engine compartment, Richard’s entire bod
Aurora felt no guilt at all. Instead, she walked step by step towards the courier without paying any attention to the words of the onlookers.“Thank you. I really like this dress. I’ll wear it later,” Aurora said with a smile.The women from the conglomerate family spontaneously displayed disdainful expressions. Dharia and the others looked down on Aurora even more.At that moment, an Underwater Hotel waiter suddenly arrived carrying a luxurious party dress.“Excuse me, I’m sorry. Which Miss Nelsons is the birthday girl today? A gentleman specifically prepared a dress for Miss Nelsons earlier. He also sends his birthday greetings to Miss Nelsons,” said the waiter.The waiter’s voice attracted everyone’s attention. When Timone saw the dress, she widened her eyes in surprise.“OMG! Isn’t that a dress from the Skyler Group? If I remember correctly, that dress was auctioned for more than eight hundred million!” Timone exclaimed.“Huh? Just a dress equals several years’ worth of salary. Oh
A man spoke while looking towards the stairs. Just a moment ago, he had been talking endlessly about Aurora in a negative manner, all to make a good impression in front of Dharia. But in the next instant, the man was frozen. His laughter suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in shock. The glass in his hand fell and shattered on the floor. “Quick, look. Look at that!” “Oh. My. God! I swear on everything!” “Good grief!” Everyone followed the man’s gaze, and in the next moment, they saw the figure that left them all in silence. Dharia was stunned and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with jealousy and resentment. Because the dress Aurora was wearing was ‘The Flying Phoenix’, which had once caused a sensation throughout the country. The Flying Phoenix, the most valuable item from the Skyler Group in Ligos city. Compared to the dress Dharia was wearing, Aurora’s gown was infinitely more luxurious. What Dharia couldn’t accept the most
“Is that the person in charge of King MMA? It’s true; he’s really different from normal people.”“I’ve heard about King MMA’s fame for a long time. I was always looking for the right opportunity to meet them, and it finally happened today.”And so many similar comments came from those around. They all flocked to surround the person. Dharia and her family also approached the man with quick steps and enthusiastic tones, saying,“I didn’t expect Mr. Mario to value Dharia so much! Even King MMA sent someone to come!” Carmen exclaimed, which made Dharia smile with joy.“I am the host of today’s event, Dharia. Thank you so much—” Dharia’s words stopped as her smile slowly turned stiff. Why was this person ignoring her, not even looking at her, and passing by?“Who is Aurora?” the man asked.“I’m!” Aurora replied, standing up from her seat, drawing the attention of everyone present. In their hearts, they wondered what mistake Aurora might have made to make the King MMA representative look fo
Aurora looked uneasy and didn’t know what to say in response to Timone and Dharia’s comments. Her eyes were fixed on the paper in her hands and the guests who were laughing at her one by one.Eventually, she could only manage a cold smile without intending to explain anything. She knew that whatever she tried to convey would not be believed.“Why are you silent? It’s true, right?” Timone continued.In front of all the guests, who were both friends and family, Dharia shook her head while looking at Aurora and said in a feigned sad tone, “Aurora, you’ve really disappointed me!”“I was kind enough to let you celebrate your birthday with me, and you came here wearing fake clothes. I considered you part of my family, but you’ve done everything to win the bet against me.”“My patience has run out! I’m not going to let you act as you please! What you’re doing is absolutely disgusting!”“Security! Quickly report her to the police!” Dharia shouted.Seeing Aurora’s confused expression only fue
He stared at Richard with eyes that seemed ready to popping out from their sockets. Even now, he found the sight of him in front of him far more terrifying than meeting the king of hell. How could he be here?!The important person his uncle was supposed to introduce to him had turned out to be the parasitic son-in-law of the Nelsons family?!Elvan’s legs felt like jelly, causing him to fall to his knees on the asphalt. He stared at Richard in disbelief, shaking his head.“Richard? No way, how could it be him?” Elvan muttered almost in a whisper.Raylon looked to the side and saw Elvan’s pale face as he sat on the asphalt.“Hahaha! You’re shocked by our welcome for Mr. Richard, aren’t you?” Enea laughed.“Elvan, come here. This is Mr. Richard from Ligos city,” Raylon said, introducing Richard to Elvan. He waved his hand, calling Elvan, who was sitting on the ground.The man thought similarly to Enea; he assumed his nephew was shocked by what was happening before him. Meanwhile, Elvan
