"Give the biggest round of applause to the SALAZAR GROUP," Mr. Demiand said in a loud voice.All the guests clapped as Xavier entered the stage. His body was shaking from head to toe. His heart was beating so fast that he felt like he wanted to break free and jump. But her nervousness was instantly dispelled when a loud clap from William landed on her shoulder."Let's just say everyone here is a vegetable," William said.Xavier was surprised to hear William's sudden words, how could he not be surprised, his master had suddenly asked him to consider all the guests in the room as vegetables. Although it sounded like a joke, William's words were completely true. Assuming that the hundreds of people in the Clover Hotel lobby were vegetables would give Xavier a psychological boost. His fear and worry could disappear in an instant.The effect of practicing William's words can be felt directly by Xavier. In his mind, each person in the room has a different head. There are tomatoes, carrots,
Less than five minutes after William and Charlotte waited outside the room, Xavier approached them with a happy face."That trick you told me really worked. I could barely contain my laughter when I shook hands with Mr. Demiand," Xavier said."Of course. Although it seems like a joke, my words are based on a psychological theory. I don't just say them at random," William said.Xavier then invited William and Charlotte to come with him, "Now come with me. We don't have much time.An increasingly curious Charlotte asked, "Tell me, Xavier. Where are you taking us?"Xavier looked surprised, "I told William we were going to meet Mr. Demiand.""What?! meet him in person?!" Charlotte immediately straightened her clothes as she limped after Xavier and William.When they arrived at the front of the room, two tall, black men stood at attention like trained soldiers. They were none other than the bodyguards guarding Mr. Demiand's private room at the Clover Hotel."These are Mr. Demiand's guests
The youthful-looking old man then told a long story about the history of the Hudiya poison, which he and Rudolf Ophiuchus had apparently created. The poison was basically a rudimentary youth medicine. Instead of eroding old cells so that they can regenerate, the drug actually eats away at its users little by little until they finally die. Mr. Demiand and Rudolf Ophiucus did not give up hope and continued their research. Many parties are also interested in the research, putting their lives in danger. At that time, they met the Raven Kingslayer, who offered them protection so that they could continue their research in peace. Thanks to Raven's protection, the antidote to Hudiya's poison was finally found. But their research was far from over. Their goal was not to create a poison and an antidote, but to create an eternal youth drug that would extend their lives as long as possible. After much research, they came up with the hypothesis that by mixing the Hudiya poison and the antidote,
"Do you know Kuro?" asked Mr. Demiand."We met him when we went into Enits Pela prison. He stopped me when I was about to beat up a guy named Don Corleone in there." William replied."I didn't expect you to go to the last level of the prison," Mr. Demiand said."We had to. Because the fighter who will represent us in the battle of my city is being held there," Xavier said.After this long conversation. William and Charlotte said goodbye to go home first. While Xavier had to stay to discuss some offers of cooperation between Jaeger Company and the Salazar Group.On the way home, "I didn't expect you to do all this for my father, William. I am truly grateful." Charlotte then did something unexpected in the moving car. She gave William a heartfelt kiss on the cheek.This must have made William very happy. It was the first time Charlotte had kissed him. Although not on the lips, this is a big step forward in their relationship. During their marriage, they never kissed or made out. They ne
The force of the impact activated William's car airbag, "Are you all right Charlotte?""I'm fine William," Charlotte said."We'd better get out of here as soon as possible," William said as he got out of the car.Together with Charlotte they looked around the very quiet streets. Their eyes kept searching for the child who had almost been hit by him."Looking for me?" someone said from the shadows.Slowly, the human silhouette began to appear, highlighted by the street. And how surprised William and Charlotte were when they realized that the child they had hit earlier turned out to be an adult of small stature."Who are you?!" asked William.Charlotte, sensing that the situation was not right, immediately took cover behind William's body.The person in front of William laughed, "Does it matter to you who I am? I'm just an insignificant person who came along to take your life."He then continued, "As a parting gift, I will answer one of your questions.""Who hired you?" asked William."
"Calm down Charlotte, I'm fine," William said, showing the area where he had been shot. And there was no wound at all."What? How is that possible? I clearly saw you get shot," Charlotte said."This is a very expensive bulletproof suit. Thanks to it, I'm fine," William said."It's a relief not to be seriously injured," Charlotte said with a sigh of relief.The all-black suit William was wearing was the same one he had inherited from his late father. He had bought it and worn it on his first visit to Xavier.He did not expect that the suit he bought for a million dollars would actually work according to his abilities. In fact, William initially bought the suit only because he liked the model that could support his charisma. But now he is very grateful that he bought the expensive suit because it saved his life.Although his shoulder is still very painful because the shot that the little man fired was at close range. However, he was lucky that the suit he bought had extraordinary techno
The next day, William had to go to Edenwall alone because Charlotte had some office work to do. As a result of the Lysander family's ranking in the bottom ten, many cooperation agreements were unilaterally terminated that very night. The few remaining ones had to be reworked quickly in order not to leave. As a result, his mother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and his wife were burdened with an enormous amount of work to keep the Lysander Group afloat."This is all because of the stupidity of you two! I told you not to look for items that are just unique. But look for items that have a long historical value," Emma Lysander expressed her anger at the dining table.Not stopping there, she continued her anger, "How many times have I warned boh of you not to look for shortcuts? Now look at the results of your foolishness! Our company was almost destroyed because many contracts were canceled unilaterally.Liliana didn't seem to accept that only she and her sister were to blame for the incident
William then told Charlotte all the plans he had made from the beginning. He said that all of his current plans began when Charlotte was slapped by her stepmother during a family gathering that she was not allowed to attend at the time."Honestly, I was so angry at the time that I wanted to burn your whole house down along with your mother and your two stepsisters. Just for defending me, you were slapped until your cheek was swollen. I don't think any husband would want his wife to be treated like that. William said with a small spark of anger in his eyes."I didn't expect you to be so vengeful about it," Charlotte said."You know Charlotte, what they did to you that night was not just slapping you. They also stomped and spat on my pride. That's why I was so angry," William said.He then went on to tell the story of the plan he had prepared. William said that he wanted to win first place in the "race" for prizes that Mr. Demiand was holding. He wanted to win first place not only becau
