Benjamin’s expression was barely readable as they got closer to the event hall.[It doesn't matter what they throw at us, to be honest. With you guys with me, no intention is getting past us.]Everyone felt better when they heard Benjamin’s words. It doesn't matter what these corporate tycoons do, they won't succeed. In the end, it was Benjamin and his crew who would be trapping these people. The predator had no idea that he was the prey.“The heir apparent had arrived! Please, welcome Master Benjamin, the son of the late Master Dallas Whiteridge, and the grandson of Great Master Hunter Whiteridge!”“With him are especially close friends. Madam April Scott, the Whiteridge family's Goddess of War. There's also Mr. Maximus Detroit, and Miss Olivia Hearts.”The crowd rose from their seats, walking forward to fall onto their knees as they bowed their heads towards the straight pathway that leads from the entrance of the event hall itself.“Welcome, Master Benjamin!”Benjamin led the grou

The CEO frowned slightly, his heart burning with anger. This guy couldn't just let it go. He decided to turn to Benjamin instead.“Master, I'm one of the minor hosts of this introduction event being held for you. Please, you can't just watch one of your subordinates treat me like this.”Benjamin glanced up at the CEO from the pamphlet he appeared to be going through, before glancing at Anthony.“I believe there are no children in this hall. Whatever issue has been brought up by my subordinates, it's only right that you guys sort it out by yourselves. I don't want anyone to come crying to me. It's not a pleasant sight.”The CEO was insulted once again, but he swallowed it, walking closer to the raised platform to them but before the heir apparent.“For the words of ignorance that had come out of my mouth, I sincerely apologize to you, Master Benjamin, and your company. Please, forgive me.”Anthony spoke with a heated tone.“Apologize for the backhanded words as well.”The CEO clenched

Chairwoman Aurora Coney had a slight look of arrogance on her face as she adjusted her suit.“Well, am I wrong? Young woman, you couldn't even hold yourself back, and just had to show off in a room full of so many people, at such an important event. Perhaps, we should push for a thorough inspection of character and social etiquette before we allow just anyone in here.”Before Olivia could say anything, Max stopped up with a glare directed at that woman. He didn't give a fuck who she was, but he won't just stand by and watch her talk down on his girlfriend like that.“Watch your mouth, old lady!”The crowd gasped and some of the guests couldn't hold back their laughter. This event was turning out to be much more fun than they anticipated. Usually, it was very organized and strict in the various sessions of the event, making it quite predictable and boring. The after-party was usually the highlight, and even then, most of the people would keep their composure to not look bad in front o

Clearly, wherever she is, this place is meant for the wealthy class.She got out of bed and took her higheros. Whoever brought her in here must have taken her shoes off.Even though Veronica didn't necessarily feel scared, she knew she still had to be wary of her surroundings.Thus, she held her high heels and tiptoed to the door of the bedroom, placing her ear on the door just in case she picked up any sound.“Chad, what are we doing here?! Those two women brought us here for a reason.”“For the hundredth time, Amy dear, I don't know. The only way out is to start with patience. Otherwise, we'll just be running up our energy in futility before the answer even presents itself.”“But how am I supposed to say calm, Chad. We have no idea where we are. It's been an hour or so since we woke up, and still….nothing!”“I'm sure we were brought here to use up space. Well, he is meeting with the mysterious host soon. Let's just wait for Veronica to wake up.”Veronica recognized the voices of he

“You're right! Since these people have the audacity to come here and cause trouble, without even spending enough energy to properly hide their sick intentions, then we should just kill them right here and now!”“Yeah, I think that's the next best thing to do! By the time the supreme master figures out the trap, he'll have us to thank for taking quick actions to eliminate the threat!”“That's a good idea!”Veronica and her parents were left in shock at how quickly things went south for them. It seems these people had no idea of their coming, as well as the circumstances that led them here in the first place. This made their appearance too sudden, and thus, suspicious. Their status was too high in the Whiteridge family, which made it look impossible for them to be possibly thrown out. Therefore, the logical conclusion, out of a lack of proper information, would be to assume that they were here to eliminate this hidden ‘dragon’ of an organization before it gets to take off.Veronica and
