Henry's expression revealed a deep hatred that went as deep as a well, just at the mention of his enemy's name.“I know Uriel well enough to come up with the perfect plan to corner him and kill him. Miss Isabella, Mr. Najeeb, trust me when I say that I have a foolproof plan to catch our target. All I ask is that I get a share of the spoils.”Najeeb chuckled with a head nod.“Of course! Uriel was able to win over seventeen different gemstones with perfect ratings in terms of quality and quantity. If you can help us get what we want, you will be given a share of what we reap, naturally.”Getting the chance to take the gemstones from Uriel's hand while ending his life. This was the perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone. Juliana was glad that she was able to guide her otherwise foolish fiancé into devising this plan of borrowing someone else's power to take down an enemy that is evolving too fast for them to handle.Thus, Henry began telling the two foreigners of his plan. Mea

Uriel was never rejected by TAINS. It was the Den family who sabotaged everything. And yet, here was Henry, standing on the podium, addressing the crowd of powerful guests whom he had never been accepted into TAINS.Alas, none of these guests knew whether Henry was telling the truth or if he was lying. Still, they quickly found something very fishy about this.First of all, it was clear that Henry had some sort of personal vendetta against Uriel, and he was shamelessly deploying one tactic after the other to ruin Uriel's reputation at this event.Secondly, how could it be possible that Uriel was rejected by TAINS, and yet, he's far more skilled than any graduate from that institute? In fact, wasn't Henry Den, this man trying to tarnish Uriel's reputation, a graduate of that same institute? Yet, he wasn't even capable of deciphering a good raw stone, and instead, lost more than $100 million.Still, it was somewhat uncertain if investing in this new lapidary, Orion-Meteor Cutters, was

Julian walked up to the podium with a wretched expression on her face, quickly getting under the protection of Henry while glancing at Uriel with a wary expression.She kept shaking her head at Henry while whispering into the microphone.“Babe, I'm scared.”Henry kissed Juliana's forehead to make people see him confirming his scared partner.“It's okay, my love. I promise that this bastard won't be able to touch you. Not today, not ever again.”Everyone at the after-party could hear their words, as their voices, though in comforting whispers, still bled into the microphones in Juliana’s hand.After a few seconds, Juliana timidly turned to the guests and spoke.“Ladies and Gentlemen, as some of you can tell, I'm Mr. Henry Dem’s future wife and the mother of our children.”She rubbed her stomach, as the audience whispered amongst themselves about the Den family's bloodline being continued. Those within New Stone City had heard that Henry was rumored to medically have a low sperm count,

The fight between four of Uriel's masked bodyguards and Isabella Giordano’s nine remaining bodyguards ensued, and a great show unfolded.Unlike Henry's bodyguards, Isabella's bodyguards were abnormally strong and agile, able to punch a hole through a wooden table, and with speed high enough to carry a slight gust of wind.Yet, the nine remaining Italian bodyguards held no light in comparison to the masked Whiteridge soldiers. Within five minutes, the four masked bodyguards had thoroughly taken down Isabella's bodyguards. Meanwhile, the remaining eleven bodyguards gathered near the stage, ensuring that Uriel was safe from the chaos.From where she stood, a bitter expression spread on the woman's face, and her long nails dug into her palm as she whispered.“What the fucking hell is this? Who is this bastard's backer? Why are his bodyguards so strong?”Najeeb had a teasing smile as he walked up to her.“Perhaps, I should buy in a bit?”Isabella knew that Najeeb was making fun of her in

“Who gave you the right to mess with my people? Foreigners nowadays sure do have a lot of guts, huh?”For the guests with the normal range of senses, which is practically most of everyone here on the sky terrace, they couldn't see the face of the person who spoke those words from the middle helicopter hovering along with its fleet over their head. Still, they could hear the domineering tone in this person's voice. It was a deep, masculine voice that carried a strong air of oppression with it.On the other hand, those with the extraordinary senses to see farther in the sky could see a tall and lean masculine figure clad in a white suit…and a unique mask. Every inch of this man's body was covered, and yet, the youthfulness he exuded was intense.Uriel immediately recognized Benjamin's voice as he was helped up onto his feet by the mashed bodyguards around him, whispering apologies at their inability to protect him well. But he wasn't even bothered by that, as he was too awed by the flee
