“Mr. Leo?” Diane wasn’t expecting to be saved, and it greatly relieved her that it was Leo who stopped the mad woman.The woman’s hand that was grabbing Diane’s throat fell down.Blood poured out of her severed hand, but she didn’t even frown. Instead, she clawed at Diane’s chest.Leo covered not just himself but also Diane with his aura.It turned into a solid brown shield and withstood her clawing attack, suffering only cracks in return.“What? He can solidify his aura to such an extent?” she frowned this time.“Not many can put a dent in my aura defense,” Leo replied with a gaze that looked down on her. “You should be pretty proud of your skill, woman.”“Who the hell are you? Her lover?” the woman with the severed hand asked she squeezed the muscles at the severed spot and stopped the bleeding almost completely.“No. I have no place for an incomprehensible book like love in my life anymore,” Leo replied and spread his aura into tiny but sharp needle-like feathers which flew at the

Catherine held Denver’s hands, which stopped the lightning streaks from leaking out anymore.“Don’t let her bother you,” she told him. “She’s not just your worry. I will deal with her, so you should focus on other guests.”“You mean, you’re going to talk to Leo Adler?” Denver wasn’t sure if this was a good idea. “We will need the support of the Eagle Rise Group for many reasons.”Catherine, however, smiled with confidence. “I know. I will not let my sister ruin our chances, so leave it to me.”“...Alright,” Denver reluctantly nodded and moved elsewhere.Catherine looked at Diane, who was looking back at her younger sister, but they weren’t smiling at each other.Catherine went straight to their table and sat down without even asking for permission.Leo naturally didn’t like that, and his gaze went from being neutral to cold. “What are you here for, woman?”“Woman? My name is Catherine,” she replied. “And I’m here on Denver’s behalf to talk about the future cooperation of Eagle Rise Gr

At Rose Port.“This is a disaster! We shouldn’t have trusted that crazy woman!” Catherine felt a great worry because the food containers were brought on the backs of lizards. “Now, we can only brace for the crude remarks.”Just then, Minerva took it upon herself to greet the guests and then had the workers serve the food.“Tonight’s menu has Electrical Eel cuisine made out of a freshwater eel caught from the southern sacred lake,” Minerva said while reading from the menu card handed over to her by the head chef. “It’s said that this meat can repair the damage of all the nerves in your body and even improve your nervous system. Its price in auction can easily go up to 100K. Whoever wants a taste of it can raise their arms right now, but you better not waste even a piece of its bones.”“She wants us to eat the bones?” Some guests were offended by her words. “Is she serious?”Minerva didn’t bother to answer their queries as she knew they’d shut their mouths anyway.As Minerva kept talkin

Borg was sitting alone and eating.The head chef came up to his table and said, “You’ve got quite the nerve to show up here.”“Even Minerva didn’t dare to bother me,” Borg responded coldly. “So why are you acting up?”“Her Ladyship Minerva told me to give you this,” the old lady put a folded slip on the table. “You might want to read it.” Saying that she walked away.Borg curiously unfolded the slip.It had a few words written on it: I will deal with your original body.Borg somewhat smiled. “Nobody other than myself knows where my original body is.” He burned the paper to ashes. “Even if the heaven collapses and submerges the earth into the abyssal waters, I will still find a way to survive. No one in this world or above can kill me. Now, I wonder what my other clone that’s gone to the Data Tower is doing.”At the same time, in the Data Tower.A Denver’s clone was fighting Philip.“You really think I’ll be fooled by your tricks, Borg?” Philip was able to fend off this clone’s attack

Denver got onto the stage, and everybody naturally looked toward the stage.He grabbed the mic and spoke, “Some of you might be here thinking I will lay down an easy route that gives you quick results. In the three years I’ve seen my girlfriend, she didn’t win all the races she participated in, but she kept working hard nonetheless. She realized the reality that shortcuts won’t get her to the Olympics.“So, she stopped participating in the competitions and oversaw her swimming pool business. Still, she didn’t stop putting in the hours. She wanted to win medals in swimming and running for the nation, but after coming here and manifesting aura, she lost interest in the dream she had for decades. I am the reason that she had to forgo her dream. She started prioritizing my interests instead. So, I can’t just act lacklusterly.“What I want from you all isn’t just a relationship built on business grounds,” Denver said in a soft yet firm voice. “I want you to be my brothers and sisters….as p
