The guests gathered in groups, some discussing business opportunities, others seeking to forge future relationships. All attention suddenly focused on the entrance where John led a group towards them. Despite appearing diminutive among them, his followers, all prominent shareholders of ProTrade in Country Y and long-time business partners with the headquarters, trailed behind him, clearly acknowledging his current status.As John and his entourage approached, the guests' attention shifted towards them. One couldn't resist stepping forward with a smile, saying, "John, not surprised to see you here. Have you met your chairman yet?" John smiled in response, "He visited ProTrade headquarters to meet me on my first day in Country Y. We've certainly had our discussions."The person who spoke couldn't help but furrow their brow slightly. Did John mean he was the chairman, not Scott? Despite the slight ambiguity in John's words, many guests surrounded him. After all, Scott operated in Co
He couldn't help but sneer slightly and look towards the shareholder, saying, "Is there a problem?"The shareholder seemed slightly surprised by Scott's coldness, but having read much about Scott, knowing him to be someone who disliked frivolity and approached work with great professionalism, quickly replied with a smile, "No, nothing at all. I just wanted to introduce myself and express my desire to learn more about your innovations. It would be great if I could work at the headquarters you oversee in Country U!"Scott furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this; it was as if the shareholder was self-nominating to move to Country U. John, noticing this from afar, saw other shareholders beginning to engage Scott in conversation, which left him feeling dissatisfied.These people clearly didn't know their place; they wanted to abandon him at the Y headquarters and join Scott in Country U. He didn't feel that they were genuinely interested in technology; they simply thought Scott was s
Scott heard that and glanced towards Cale for a moment, shaking his head, "No, I'm no longer interested in him. It's just that there are some unusual things about him that may be related to my current trip."Upon hearing this, Cale quickly became serious, saying, "Should I detain him for you?"Scott shook his head, "No need, I'll investigate this myself."Cale nodded without further comment, and the two continued their conversation, seemingly without anything unusual happening around them.Scott remained seated, his gaze still fixed on Curtis, while observing those around him.Curtis seemed to have noticed Scott's gaze, appearing slightly nervous at first, but quickly composed himself and smiled charmingly at the person he was talking to.Scott could sense a strange energy emanating from Curtis, as if he could effortlessly attract anyone, regardless of gender, which in itself was unusual. As he observed Curtis and those around him, Scott caught glimpses of two figures behaving oddly, d
Scott chuckled at that, saying, "I told you, no one can hear us. Were you two planning to keep up the act forever, Lucifer, Albert?"Upon hearing Scott speak like that, the twin brothers' faces showed surprise, then they simultaneously rolled their eyes, looking somewhat resigned, finally accepting the truth. Immediately, all signs of nervousness vanished from their faces."How did you figure that out?" one of them spoke up; it was Albert.Scott shrugged. "It's quite simple, really. Your performances were rather transparent to me."Albert and Lucifer couldn't help but look a bit embarrassed, saying nothing further.But soon enough, Lucifer brightened up and asked, "Alright, so why did you summon us here?"Scott didn't beat around the bush. "I just want to know why the two of you are interested in Curtis. He's your target?"Albert and Lucifer remained silent for a moment. Then Lucifer furrowed his brow slightly before speaking, "Yes, he's our mission target. There have been some strang
Emily, upon hearing that, had no further comments. After all, the team leader was Lucifer, and her curiosity couldn't change anything.Ayer and Scott got into the car, and Lucifer slowly spoke: "We've been investigating for a few days. Based on the information we currently have, it seems that Curtis is following a big fan named Julia. Julia has been a fan of Curtis since the beginning, she really admires and adores him."Pausing for a moment, Lucifer continued: "Tonight she has a date with Curtis."Hearing this, Scott raised an eyebrow and said, "An idol dating a fan?"Albert, sitting next to him, nodded and said hesitantly, "Don't you know? Most fans love this. Being asked out by someone they admire, how could they refuse?"Scott didn't express any further opinion, and Lucifer added, "So, Julia could be the next target. Our current task is to prevent this and investigate further to determine if Curtis is responsible for the recent strange deaths."In fact, if they had started investig
Scott had no further comments upon hearing this. The girl standing next to him, who looked exactly like Julia, was actually Ayer. After consuming the energy absorbed from previous battles, Ayer had unlocked more of his abilities.He could now transform into other people, making it difficult to distinguish any differences in personality unless closely observed. The only weakness was that he could maintain another person’s appearance for only an hour, after which the energy would dissipate.Lucifer also assessed Ayer with a scrutinizing gaze, aware that Ayer’s identity was anything but ordinary. Given that Scott was the head of the Arnold family, having unusual individuals around him was not a cause for concern. Lucifer understood that, regardless of what happened, Scott would bear the responsibility of saving the world."Alright, let’s go, Ayer. No, I should call you Julia now," Lucifer said.Julia, who was actually Ayer, nodded firmly at Scott. He picked up a handbag and walked out
He did not hesitate to reveal his evil nature because he knew well that the person before him surely knew nothing. She likely didn't even sense the danger approaching her. The girls before had all been like this; he was too familiar with it. Curtis smiled, then softly said, "Your love for me is truly immense, Julia."Hearing Curtis call her name, Ayer's eyes widened even more, her excitement making it impossible to stay still. It must be said that Ayer's acting was truly flawless, without any mistakes. At this moment, Curtis began to stand up. He walked towards Ayer step by step. Ayer remained seated, her body trembling with excitement, her eyes full of admiration, reverence, and love for Curtis.Curtis got closer and closer to Ayer until they were less than 2 cm apart. He slightly lowered his head and said, "You love me so much, naturally, you would die for me, right?" As if under a spell, Ayer responded, "Of course, whatever you ask me to do, I will do it." Curtis, satisfied,
Emily drove on without a word. The car was her invention, and only she could control it, making her the driver.Moreover, she was a strong girl and had no issues with driving. They quickly arrived at Cale's mansion.Cale was somewhat surprised to see Scott return with a few others and hurriedly went out to greet them."You haven't rested yet?" Scott couldn't help asking as he saw Cale rush out.It was well past one in the morning, and normally, Cale wouldn't stay up so late unless there was something urgent. Besides, the Gomez family was currently peaceful, giving him no reason to stay awake.Cale shook his head quickly in response. "You haven't returned yet, how could I sleep?"The Lucifer group nearby couldn't help but silently admire Cale's sincerity towards Scott and the Gomez family.It was even more than the admiration others outside had for Curtis, albeit Scott didn't employ any peculiar methods.Scott glanced at Cale. "Alright, you can rest now. I have something to attend to."
