"Who the f*ck are you guys? Don't you know who I am?" Edmond glared at everyone. "I'm the one who owns this place! If I wanted someone to get lost, that person had to roll! You don't believe me? Wait, you bastards. I'll call my uncle Edward now. Let's see if you'll get an audition!"A vein popped on his forehead, as Sett understood that things were increasingly becoming troublesome.Everyone was starting to gossip. "Edward? Isn't that one of the supervisors of the entertainment industry?" With that, everyone quickly shut their mouths. No wonder Edward lacked respect for everyone. They quickly backed off, not siding with Sett any longer, for fear of earning the eerie of Edmond.Damn it! Sett clicked his tongue, he was depressed as the supervisor was getting involved. He could only hope that the supervisor would be impartial. Shortly after a man in his fifties got out of the "Dreams Do Come True" building with a group of bodyguards, he was supervisor Edward. "Nephew, what's the mat
"Ms. Scarlett, is Mr. Crow not offended by my making him come here in person?"One of the board of directors shared his thoughts with a rather anxious expression. No, it was not just him. The other members of the board of directors present in the room had an uneasy expression as if they were standing on a single cord wire. Yet, no one could really blame their reaction as they would be meeting an entity that they could only look up to. The Crow family was an existence that they could look at but not reach. Moreover, seeing them in the flesh was already a challenge.To their knowledge, even someone like Ms. Scarlett had to work under them, and who was Ms. Scarlett? She was one of the pinnacles of the richest people in Darian City! She was a true billionaire! "Don't be nervous, Chief Director, Ainsworth. You see, Mr. Crow is a very compassionate man. It's not like he will bite you or anything." Ms. Scarlett giggled in her melodic voice. However, her words didn't calm the directors a
"It's been a while, Elena. You look stunning as ever!" Sett praised his sister-in-law.In the back of his head, he was thinking. 'Why is Elena here? Darn it, I shouldn't have used the side entrance.' At the same time, Sett also knew that it was impossible to use the main entrance without revealing his real identity, which was a big "No" to him. "Stunning?" Elena narrowed her eyes. "Heh, brother-in-law, are you telling the truth? You aren't lying to me, like other guys?" Elena said, with all seriousness, while twirling her hair. Sett forced a smile on his face. "Of course, your beautiful Elena. Why would I lie to my sister-in-law?" Hearing Sett's answer, a cunning grin appeared on Elena's exquisite face. "Then, who's prettier, me or my sister?"Sett became tongue-tied, how was he supposed to answer her question? He let out a breath. This was one of the reasons why he didn't like to speak with Elena. She was just difficult to talk to! "Um, honestly saying, I think your sister is
The old Nokia that Sett was holding crashed on the gym's mat, and while his expression altered between pale and red, the shock and anger that he felt at that moment muddied his judgment. Who wouldn't be in this state when their loved ones were about to be stripped naked for questioning?How could someone do that to a minor? If they aren't monsters, then what are they? Sett clenched his teeth. Dammit! Threatening his young sister? Those cops must be tired of living. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't feeling like skinning someone alive, and it would be an understatement if he didn't yearn to outright murder those cops.Yet, he had to suppress his anger. No, he had to control his boiling rage, as he knew that he was dealing with two police officers. Things would blow out of proportion if the situation wasn't handled carefully. He also knew that it was detrimental if his decision was clouded by emotion.Sett took a deep breath, calming his nerves. He still had time to head towa
Just as the police officers were about to put the handcuffs around Nini's arm, right before they could do so, the police officers raised their sharp eyebrows as they ceased their action when they caught sight of a group of students with a teacher coming toward his direction. "What's going on here?" The PE teacher, Dexter, grimaced. At first, he was skeptical of the situation, but upon seeing it up close, with the addition of the officer's solemn expression and, on top of that, Nini's terrified expression was genuine. Immediately, Teacher Dexter's countenance turned ugly, as he shouted. "What are you guys doing!" At some point, the students also realized something was terribly wrong, so they took out their phones and discreetly turned on the video recording. The two police officers signal each other with their eyes. They couldn't delay any longer, or things would be problematic for them. So one of them steps forward to explain. "We received a report of a hit and run accident in th
Sett witnessed the sight of her little sister, Nini, sprawled on the floor weeping while her friends tightly hugged her, while two police officers were trying to force her to stand up. That wasn't all. He took note of the bald man yelling insults beside Nini. His fuse was maxed out, resulting in his incredible shout, which freaked out everyone on the school plaza. Although he was furious at the moment, it far outweighed his gratification that he made it in time. 'Thank God, I made it on time.' He had frantically driven his car, nearly crashing in the process, just to arrive in time. Nevertheless, it was worth it! At this point, the police officers, Kenneth and Adrian, postponed what they were trying to accomplish after that outburst. They grimaced in irritation after being interrupted. Who the h*ll dared to shout at them? By now, the students and the teachers were gawking at the school passageway. It didn't take long before they spotted a figure. It was Sett, who was slowly stridi
"Nini, why didn't your brother listen?" Sarah was worried sick. Nini's brother was such a nice guy; she wouldn't be able to sleep if something happened to him. "Do you trust your brother that much, Nini?" Kimberly spoke with an anxious tone. "En, I trust my brother!" Nini spoke with confidence while nodding her head without the slightest bit of hesitation. Upon hearing Nini's words, Sarah and Kimberly look incredulously at her. When all was said and done, they could only stare at the gradually farther away back of Sett and the two police officers. It didn't take long before Sett was led beneath a walkway bridge, near the abandoned bungalows. The place could be deemed remote and there was barely anyone in sight, apart from a small number of hobos glancing from time to time while warming themselves in some corner. "You guys sure this is the back of the school?" Sett dropped the question while raising an eyebrow. "Just continue to walk, Chubby. We just want to have a small talk wi
"You're dead, chubby! You hear me, you're good as dead!" Kenneth shrieked hysterically.A vein poked out of Sett's forehead. He was getting annoyed at this police officer's howling and screaming insults. Why is this guy so loud? Why couldn't he just shut his trap? Hey, if others saw this police officer in a miserable state, wouldn't they think he was about to be butchered or something? "Give me a break." Sett mumbled while sitting on top of the grassy ground. He was dead tired already. 'After this is solved, I need to attend tonight's audition for the company. This is way too exhausting.' Just then, Sett felt the vibration On the surface, followed by the engine roaring. He instinctively shifted his sharp gaze toward the northwest."So, they've finally arrived." It didn't take long before the noise of sirens blended with the sound of tires grinding on the soil, as police pursuit vehicles and special vehicles arrived at the scene. It is worth mentioning that the police vehicles wer
