Diana's face went cold as she saw the receptionist's facial expression change drastically. She cast a disdainful look at Diana before speaking harshly."Tutfold PLC doesn't want to see any Wendy Group members now or in the future."Upon hearing this, Diana's eyes went dizzy as she almost fainted. She first thought her ears were lying to her, maybe she didn't hear what was said correctly. She was trying to comprehend what she had just heard, but it was so difficult."Please leave immediately!" the receptionist's voice was more audible and stern than before.Diana heard loud mocking laughter behind her at that instant, and she nearly peed on herself.Damn! What an embarrassment! The previous happiness on her face had completely disappeared. She felt so mortified and wouldn't hesitate to crawl into a hole if she found one at the moment.She cast her gaze to the floor, feeling too ashamed to look the receptionist in the eyes again. She didn't even want to argue with her; the sincerity in
Diana alighted in front of their villa and walked briskly. She was very confused about where to go first. The number of things running around her head at that moment was uncountable. All she knew was that she needed to get things done. In fact, she needed to get things done really fast.What she was expected to do instantly was to go straight to Granny and give her the report of where she was sent and inquire about the scary news that reached her.With the last statement Granny made, it was very obvious that she is the cause of the sudden news.But Diana had a different target. She's the type that doesn't easily let things go. Even in this very terrible moment for her family, she just wanted to fulfill her target.What was the target?She had in mind to have a war of words with her mother for deceiving her. She had insisted not to go for the submission but her mother was the one who remained adamant with her decision. She had also supported the decision with enough persuasion to make
Hastily, Diana and her mother reported to the large living room of Granny. Fear had gripped their hearts since the maid had delivered the message.They both rushed close to Granny whose gaze was fixed on the floor, lost in thought. They halted at a bit of a distance from her and were quite worried about the mood they found her in.Tony and other members of the family were in the living room too. Their eyes were on the duo, who looked so confused and clueless about what was going on.Elena and her daughter were bewildered by the dead silence in the living room. Even a graveyard wouldn't be that quiet.Elena had tried to assume what had happened before their arrival or what they might have discussed before their arrival, but she couldn't come to any conclusion.She shifted her gaze to the left side and her eyes caught a horrifying face. A face filled with horrible and screaming irritation. A face that glared at her, with daggers, swords, and other sharp objects in the world.It was Tony
The silence in the living room now was far beyond the previous one. The tranquility was at its highest height that the sound of the blowing winds could be heard.The whole Wendy family lost their composure at the moment. The call was more like a gun pointed at their heads. They dared not ignore it, yet their hearts were pounding heavily in response to the call.Mr. Huge had threatened them the last time with a comeback, and whatever his comeback might be, it could never be endured.Mr. Huge is a very tough person, and he doesn't do things except tough things only, just like his policies.The other day he came around, Granny had promised to pay up before the week runs out, but there are still two days remaining until the weekend.Granny was trying to guess why he was calling now but couldn't arrive at any conclusion. All she knew was, for Huge to call her with the ongoing issue between them, there must be a problem.One thing is very certain in the hearts of the Wendy family. They knew
David was in his living room, relaxing on a wide black leather sofa. The living room measured 12 by 20 feet and had simple yet unique decorations that made it outstanding. In the center of the room, there was a wide transparent coffee table made of golden glass.He was watching a program on a 65-inch TV.He was so engrossed in the program that he had spent several hours in the living room, but it felt like only a few minutes to him.He had been there since he came back from his company. The program he was watching was a reality TV show.One thing is certain when it comes to something that entertains you: you can never get bored of it. Even after spending a long time on it, you still want more of it.David was laughing loudly, his voice echoing around the walls of the spacious living room. He lived alone in the very big apartment.Suddenly, his stomach began to rumble. It needed some good food. He slowly looked at the skeleton clock on the wall, and his eyes widened instantly."Huh?!"
"Oh really, I'm all ears," David's curiosity increased.Jessica took a glance at the young man's handsomeness again and complimented in her heart, 'It seems this is my first time seeing a young, calm, rich, and handsome guy in my life.'Jessica had been working at Cicada Hotel for some years. But throughout those years, she had only seen young, rich guys and handsome, rich men.It was beyond belief for her to see someone like David, who is young, rich, handsome, and still very calm.The young rich men that visit their hotels always have a total arrogance swimming in their blood. Funny enough, none of them were even as rich as David."The general manager wanted to meet you, sir," she disclosed and took a pause, seeing his eyes widen.He was wondering what could have made the General Manager want to see him."You mean it? I hope there's no problem," David questioned."Not at all, sir. You are the top VVIP customer of our hotel. For that, he really wants to meet you and appreciate you."
Instantly, he heard a ding sound in his head. His eyes began to blink uncontrollably at that second, and the feeling was very sudden.Before he knew what was happening, his brain was already loaded with all the martial skills in the world, from Taekwondo to kickboxing, karate, kung fu, and the like. The skills were installed in his brain, one after the other, but it was as fast as the speed of light.These skills would take a martial arts student a large number of years to study, but they were installed in his brain within a few seconds with the help of the system.Moreover, he had only wished for just one martial art skill, but the system blessed him with all the skills.Then, he heard the robotic voice again.[New mission unlocked: Defeat the ten armed robbers within the next 40 minutes. Your time starts now!][Reward: $10 million]"Huh?" David's eyes widened. The number of guys before him was five, but the system said ten. He queried in his mind.Why should the system even give him
David watched the two guys running towards him, his mind calculating quickly."Huh?" His eyes widened.He never thought that the last guy could have such a dangerous weapon. The way he cracked his neck made him seem very tough.Two guys at once! What a challenge!Not only that, they had deadly weapons in their hands.David was confused about what action to take and needed to act quickly. He looked around and caught sight of the baseball bat.He kicked the bat up and grabbed it instantly. Holding it firmly, he waved the bat in the air, causing the duo to become distracted.Caught off guard, David was able to hit their faces with the bat as they were already distracted, causing them to stagger backward.As the guy holding the dagger lost control and staggered backward, his legs hit the body of one of their unconscious men on the floor, causing him to fall backward and hit his head on a big stone.He felt a sharp pain in his head from the unexpected fall and grunted loudly.The guy with
