Naura was very surprised when several shots were fired at the same time. But apparently, the shots didn't hit Zachary's body at all. Her chest stopped beating for a moment. Naura was also still smothering her own mouth. "Zachary..." She repeated Zachary's name with a trembling body. Sweat broke out on her forehead. This was a very tense showdown. All those shots were repelled with the level of the Spear of Thunder he was holding. It seemed absurd, but Zachary was able to move the spear with such agile movements that not a single bullet penetrated Zachary's body. Jimmy lowered his weapon. He was shocked when he saw Zachary. "This is impossible."It all seemed absurd. Zachary should have died when several of him were fired simultaneously. But he was still standing perfectly fine. Jimmy looked at Zachary with a sharp gaze. "A kid like you should have died like my entire family burned to the ground in that manor." He spoke loudly. His chest rumbled violently as he saw Zachary still
Zachary has taken Naura to her house. Now, they are no longer wearing masks.Zachary opened the car door and was about to take Naura into his house. But before Naura entered the house, she turned her body and looked at Zachary."Zake, are you going to be okay with something like this?" Naura's gaze still implied a concern.Naura still remembered the previous incident. She was terrified that something bad would happen to Zachary, including stumbling in legal matters.Zachary nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. You don't have to think about it."Zachary took Naura's hand and rubbed it gently. He wanted to make Naura feel reassured. "This is not something you should think about at all," Zachary reassured Naura again. He wanted her not to feel anxious again.Naura exhaled her breath. She tried to forget about it. But everything was so difficult. "Zake, who are they? Why do they want to hurt you?" Naura looked anxious again when she remembered all the words from Jimmy."They're just lowly thugs. Forge
Inside the Pierson residence. A woman was playing with her finger on her chin. She walked back and forth restlessly, waiting for someone to come."Why isn't he coming back soon?" Diana looked toward the window. There, she saw only a few people on guard duty, but she didn't see her brother returning soon.Diana was very anxious thinking about Jimmy. Earlier, her brother had left and said he would go fishing for the Houghton family's son, who disappeared after ten years. But he didn't come back after almost a whole day. She didn't even get any news about Jimmy."Did he fail to get him?" Diana bit two of her fingertips. "That's impossible." Diana quickly dismissed her bad thoughts.A boy came in. He was named Jackson, looking up at his mother. "Are you worried about uncle?"Diana turned her head, looked at Jackson, and nodded with a worried face. "Yes, your uncle hasn't come back since a while ago. You know that he went to kill that person." Diana couldn't control her anxiety.Meanwhile,
Howard was shocked by Diana's words. He rounded his eyes. "That's impossible. I don't think it's true. What the hell is going on?"Howard still didn't understand, nor did Jackson, who was calming his mother. Meanwhile, Howard got up again. He opened the box that Diana had previously opened. His eyes opened wide when he saw a finger cut with a ring he recognized. Howard knew that it was a ring left by his grandfather with a Pierson family crest in the center of the ring. "How did this happen?" His breath caught a little. He really hoped that his uncle would kill the masked man who had killed his grandfather. Her hands clenched into fists after reading the same letter Diana had read earlier. "He's a damn man. He can't just threaten us." Howard was filled with a great rage. His chest rumbled. He stared at Diana. "Auntie is right. We must kill that man immediately." Howard's gaze was filled with great anger. Diana calmed down a little. She was helped to her feet by Jackson. Then she
Clara squeezed the hem of her shirt after hearing Zachary's words. She looked very emotional. "You should be able to behave yourself and your words," Clara emphasized. She watched Zachary, from his hair to his shoes. She was so upset. Even though Zachary looked well-groomed, it didn't change that Zachary was poor and useless. Clara thought Zachary should respect her because she had a higher position than Zachary. She was also sure that Zachary wanted to marry Naura not only because of wealth but also because Naura had now obtained a huge contract. Clara raised her hand. She pointed at Zachary's face, but her eyes were on Naura. "I will show you if he is a useless man." Clara lowered her hand. She shifted her body slightly and looked at her friend's face. "Naura, at this time, we should have lunch together. I'm glad that you're better now. And I miss you so much." Clara pulled Naura's hand. She grasped it tightly. "I would have bent over for you if she was that lame." Clara stopped
Clara smiled happily at Anthony's arrival. Then she looked at Naura's face and hoped that Naura would be interested in him. Then she said, "Naura, this is Anthony, the friend I told you about last time. He comes from the city of Xilla." Clara introduced him enthusiastically.The man looked neat in the black suit he was wearing. He extended his hand to shake hands with Naura. "Meet me, I'm Anthony."Naura looked at him doubtfully. He returned the hand with his usual gaze. "I'm Naura Harvey.""Yes, I often hear about you from Clara. She often tells me about you. I'm glad we met." Anthony smiled gently. Then he sat next to Clara.Anthony sat politely and neatly. He looked so handsome and charismatic. Clara hoped that Zachary would feel jealous of his friend.Anthony looked at Naura. In his position, they were facing each other. There, Anthony seemed interested and admired Naura's beautiful face.Anthony seemed fascinated with Naura. He watched her without blinking. And Clara was happy to
Anthony smiled. "Well, if that's the case, I'm certainly a better person than him." He smiled confidently.Clara nodded in agreement, but not Naura. She seemed annoyed by what Clara and her friend were talking about. Even though they were talking in whispers, Naura could hear them. And Naura was sure they said it on purpose so Zachary would hear it.Naura looked at Anthony and Clara with annoyance. "You guys are very disrespectful. You shouldn't have said that. Including you." Naura pointed at Anthony.Clara disagreed with Naura's words. "Of course, Anthony has a polite attitude. Not only that, he is also a classy and rich man. He will even pay for all our meals here." Clara spoke confidently.Naura sighed. She held back her irritation. "That is unnecessary," Naura spoke firmly. She could even pay all those bills.Anthony shook his head. "Of course, it is a necessary thing. I'm a man, and I'm a gentleman, so I have to pay all the restaurant bills. That is the attitude of a gentleman."
Zachary gives his card to the waitress. The waiter accepted it and helped him to make the payment transaction.After a while, the waiter returned. "Sir, the payment has been successful. Here." The waiter gave Zachary the receipt and card back.Clara was shocked. She couldn't believe it. Clara looked at Zachary in confusion. "How could he do that?" He mumbled, making Clara upset that Zachary could make that payment.Clara had previously thought that she would humiliate Zachary in front of Naura so that Naura would realise that Zachary did not deserve her, but since then, she had failed to humiliate him. And this was not what Clara had in mind.The woman squeezed the hem of her shirt. She looked up at Anthony, who had been silent. And Clara chose to fold her arms and look away from Zachary. She was even a little embarrassed by Naura.Anthony still felt uneasy, his hand still in Zachary's grip. He tried to remove his hand, but Zachary's grip was too strong. He even had the prestige to as
