Zachary was seen standing in a room. His gaze is fixed on the window in front of him.Hearing the sound of footsteps walking in and walking towards him, Zachary immediately turned his body around. He saw Athena, who was currently walking towards him.Athena stopped her steps, and she stood before Zachary. "Did I disturb you, sir? I have something to talk to you about."Zachary looked at her sternly. "Say what you will. Is there something going on?"Athena nodded her head. Her face was filled with seriousness. "Sir, it seems that the Pierson family is making a move. Because I feel that there is a strange movement in their house."Athena gave the information she knew. She looked at Zachary's face very seriously. Meanwhile, Zachary, who was in front of her, looked calm.Hermes was seen coming into the same room. He came carrying a teacup for his master. Then he put the tea on the table beside his master's body."Zeus, he spoke the truth. I also know that the Pierson family has made a mo
Naura paced back and forth in the living room. She was worried about her mother's condition. Although her mother often said bad things and talked a lot to Naura, her mother was the only parent Naura had because she had lost her father.Occasionally, Naura looked at the outer door she opened. But she never saw her mother coming. "Where's mom?"Naura was so anxious. She didn't want to lose her mother at all. And now her mother has disappeared without any news since morning. Naura might know her mother's current whereabouts. Naura is sure that her mother is currently having fun. But Naura was afraid if her mother was in that place she would make a big mess because she was drunk..."What if mom makes trouble there? I won't be able to handle it." Naura bit the tips of her fingers.She really felt very uneasy. She wanted to go alone to find her mother. But right now, she prefers to wait for her mother to come home because she hopes that her mother will come home soon.Several hours passed,
Naura's mother is seen occasionally sipping the drink in her hand. She is sitting with a man."Hey, you drink too much." The man named Daniel tried to remind Naura's mother, but the old woman ignored his words."I'm very depressed right now. And I need this drink. Let me have some fun and be here for a while longer. I want to enjoy this drink I haven't enjoyed in a long time." Mrs Naura took another sip of her drink."Do you know I have a very beautiful daughter, but she is very stupid? My daughter is still thinking of marrying a man who does not produce, which is certainly not what I wanted all this time. I want a great and wealthy son-in-law. But my daughter is too stupid to choose an ordinary man." Naura's mother waved her hand in annoyance.Daniel was quite interested in the story. He looked at Naura's mother sternly and spoke, "What if we just trap her.""Trap Naura?" Naura's mother repeated Daniel's words. She furrowed her brow and looked at Daniel with a serious gaze.Daniel gr
Naura's mother's eyes moved swiftly to take in the appearance of the man in front of her. Although she was still under the influence of alcohol, her eyes were not too blind to give judgment.It was clear that the appearance of the man in front of her was so extraordinary. Moreover, she knew that he was the owner of the biggest club in the city. And he came from the famous four-pillar family. And she was happy to meet Lemos who was a great person.Right now, Naura's mother was imagining things. "Naura should have married a man like Lemos and not someone like Zachary." She muttered but again became upset after hearing that her child was so stupid."I'm glad to see you here, ma'am. Can we talk? We'd better sit over there." Lemos pointed to a sofa in the corner of the room. Only certain people used that sofa. And, of course, Mrs. Naura agreed quickly and without hesitation.She no longer had to think about a woman trying to make trouble with her because Lemos' bodyguards had also taken ca
Naura looked at the glass in front of her. This time, her mother no longer poured drinks in small glasses but a medium-sized glass. Naura stared at her mother. She swallowed her saliva as she looked at the drink. "Mom, I can't."Daria didn't care. She looked at Naura with sharp eyes. "Naura, this is a banquet from Mr. Lemos. You shouldn't disappoint him by refusing this drink." Daria forced her. A sigh was heard hesitantly. Her hand stretched out to take the glass, and she gulped down the drink reluctantly. "Mother, I've drunk it. Now let's go home." Naura put the glass back and wiped her wet lips. Lemos smiled happily at that. Meanwhile, Daria poured the drink back into the same glass. She didn't even notice Naura's words inviting her to leave. "Drink some more. We'll drink together." Daria assured Naura. Naura looked at her mother, but she didn't care. She knew that Lemos was an honourable man, and she didn't want to embarrass her mother in front of Lemos. Olivia was forced t
Daria became a little panicked at Naura's words. Even though she realized that her daughter was drunk, she was afraid that all her plans would end just like that. And all this was because of Zachary, who had said all that in front of Naura and almost ruined her plans.Daria didn't understand where Zachary came from and knew the plan. Until now, she was staring at Zachary with a sharp gaze."What he said was a lie. You shouldn't trust that poor man." Daria rebuked him. She even wanted to ruffle Zachary's feathers here.Naura shook her head several times. She wondered if Zachary had never lied, and she chose to believe him. But her head still felt dizzy, so she had to speak by holding her aching and limp head. "Mom is so mean. I know Zachary didn't lie. Why do you want to frame me? What did I do wrong?"Daria looked at Lemos. She gave him an eye roll. Daria wanted Lemos to help her convince Naura.Naura leaned her body on Zachary's arm just like that. She really couldn't control herself
Zachary looked at him calmly. He didn't mind Lemos' challenge at all."I'm not afraid to spar with you. It's a trivial." Zachary returned the challenge by speaking steadily. The look in his eyes also showed no hesitation.This made Lemos feel fed up. He thought that Zachary was too arrogant, so he gave a slight grin. "You're being overconfident by saying that this is a trivial thing. But you need to know that all the drinks here have a high alcohol content. And a man like you would be frail. You'll soon be unconscious after just two drinks."Lemos gave Zachary another sneer. He slightly hardened his gaze as he spoke again, "but that's good. At least, even though you're poor, you're not such a coward despite your impending defeat." Lemos laughed quite loudly.Zachary still had a calm look on his face. But his gaze was sharper this time. "Alright, we'll have a drinking match right now. And if you lose, I will immediately take Naura away from here."Zachary's words were, of course, met w
An explosion sounded very powerful. Several people were fighting in a large area. Likewise, Zachary, who was the general there.He remembered being on the battlefield while still active in the military before deciding to take a break.The sound of gunfire and fighting had made Zachary more accustomed to such things. Finally, the sound of victory was heard."Most of the troops from the opposing side have fallen. And a small number are retreating. We have won." The cheering voice rang out loudly. Making Zachary smile faintly and quickly leave the battlefield.They ignored several people who were injured and even died. Meanwhile, Zachary's wounded troops immediately received treatment.Of course, they would celebrate the war victory by consuming several alcoholic beverages. Everyone enjoys a drink with a sense of pleasure. Usually, they would consume alcohol that was not too expensive but had a high alcohol content. They'd drink together, and it all seemed pretty impressive. He had gro
