Chapter 651
April was in a beautifully designed gown made with some of the most expensive pieces of fabric and designs. Costing tens of millions of dollars, the dress is paired with gem-encrusted high heels. Every single accessory on her, down to her earrings, is worth millions of dollars each.The crowd couldn't take its eyes off her.“Whoa! Who is she?! I don't think I've ever seen this before.”“I have. That's his lover, April Scott. They attend the same university right now, Elites Domain University. She has been his significant other for a year now.”“Holy shit! She's gorgeous as fuck! There's no way two people with heavenly blessed attractions were actually rated to meet and fall in love with each other!”“I know. God definitely has his favorites, and unfortunately, it's not us.”“I feel like this is their world, and the rest of us here are just living in it.”Benjamin held April's hand as they glanced around at the crowd in front of the humongous villa. April was able to mask her nervous

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 who had just been called out was thoroughly insulted. The light was on him, brighter even though the entire hall lightings weren't exactly dimly lit. Still, he felt like he was out on the spot unprepared, with all eyes on him, and it made him feel humiliated.There was something about Anthony, as he stood near the raised border on the platform, staring down at him with such a condescending expression. It was haunting, and part of it had to do with the angel face that this man has, while the words that came out of his mouth were hurtful.This CEO tightened his fists at his side. He wanted to yank the gun from one of the Whiteridge soldiers and just shoot this man straight in the head.April didn't give off any reaction when she caught those thoughts.The CEO took a deep breath. All eyes were on him now. He needed to deal with Anthony with his words. Otherwise, he would end up taking the blame, no matter the premises of this incident.Therefore, the CEO smiled warmly before he

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

Anthony did not shy away from this woman either.“Chairwoman, believe me when I say that I'm not exactly thrilled about this either. If you all were truly of a United mind to celebrate the Heir Apparent, I wouldn't be standing here right now, having to put you all in your place. If there's anyone to blame, blame those shrewd acquaintances of yours who are trying to prove a lying dragon.”Words were coded, but the message was sent loud and clear. No one could misinterpret those statements that Anthony just made.A male President stood up this time.“But what exactly qualifies you to lecture us?!”It was at that moment that a voice boomed through from the entrance of the Grand Hall.“It seems you all have become disdainfully lazy in running your etiquette codes. Is it because it's been years since we attended an important event like this? Oh, right? It's been literal decades since the late Master Dallas Whiteridge, and some of you weren't even in power back then. So this is a mixed cas

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

Benjamin needed no introduction, and Johnny Biggs moved on.“As you can all see by now, these people are far greater than any of you guys have given them credit for. So maybe, from now on, think twice before you.open your mouths.”It was then that Benjamin rose from his seat.“Let me make this clear. For every covert and overt comment made at me and my group, I will be settling accounts with you at a later date. Be prepared to face the consequences of your actions.” The formal introduction had its first half of the event done and over with, which then led to Benjamin and his group giving a chance to other guests to properly introduce themselves.At such a huge event, even the politicians across the United States, and from other countries, were treated as the lower guests. After watching those arrogant executive members make a fool of themselves, they took great caution in how they introduced themselves to Benjamin.Benjamin enacted due courtesy, giving back equal in the energy that

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

Chad couldn't help but seek affirmation of what he just heard.“I'm sorry, did you just say that you all were created?”Gigi stopped in her tracks as well, turning to face the three people with a proud expression.“You heard right, Master Chad. We were all created by the supreme master. You know? It's just like your Whiteridge soldiers were created by you guys. The difference, however, is that we're built to be better than them.” Veronica and her parents couldn't believe what they just heard. They proceeded forward but they couldn't stop staring at Gigi. This powerful person was actually created by someone outside the Whiteridge family.What else does that mean?The very thing that the Whiteridge family prided themselves on - the creation of evolved human beings - has now been replicated by someone else, and by the looks of things, these reactions are even more impressive than theirs.Gigi had infiltrated the most secure place in the world without being detected. The Whiteridge sold

“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
