CHAPTER 451
In Salem city.Diane’s friend Jordan was playing a football video game in his friend’s home.“Yo, Diane called me and wanted me to come over to carry some table upstairs,” Jordan was telling his friend.“She’s definitely calling you for more than that,” his friend said, snickering.“I know, but I spent 2000 dollars last time for her purse,” Jordan said. “And she didn’t even let me fuck her, giving excuses that she was on her period and some shit. These women hate playstation but play more games than any of us gamers.”“You did well by rejecting her request, or she would have vacuumed out your purse.”“I know, but, hey, your sister also called for help yesterday,” Jordan said. “Do you want me to go?”“The fuck did you say?”As the situation turned a bit serious and ugly between the two best friends, the door bell rang.Neither of them were willing to check.“Pizza delivery,” a voice spoke from the other side of the door.“Pizza?” Neither Jordan nor his friend ordered it, but both of th
CHAPTER 452
Jamie laughed his ass off after Leo refused to help Diane straight away.Diane squeezed an egg to paste to vent her frustration.“Everybody gave an excuse to not help you,” Jamie said. “That shows how much they trust you.”“Y-Your son didn’t refuse. He said he’ll help me tomorrow,” Diane retorted.“Haha, you don’t know him. If he says he won’t do it today, then he won’t do it ever,” Jamie chortled. “A miracle needs to happen for him to change his mind about anything. That’s why I walked out of Eagle Rise Group. It’s become a pain in the ass to work alongside him after all.”“I’m sure he’ll come tomorrow,” Diane blurted. “Just wait and see.”She looked around and saw that all the furniture was mostly wooden and old.“You’re so rich, so why don’t you live in a villa and have ten butlers and maids working under you?” Diane asked.“I’ve experienced all that. Now, all I want is some peace, which you’re not letting me have.”“Huh, good joke.”Her reply made Jamie roll her eyes.A few second
CHAPTER 453
Diane came to the convenience store because Jamie told her to get a minimum wage job as it would make her look competent and improve her chances of impressing Leo.Diane didn’t show the manager a resume, but she showed him her tailored dress and curvy body and why she would attract customers and have them spend longer time in the store.She gave him a bullet point list with her eyes alone.The manager gave him a 20 dollar an hour job.She asked for thirty, but because of the lack of customer inflow, the manager couldn’t give her more.In the end, Diane had to settle for twenty dollars.She went to the costliest item section and stood there, wondering how she should get into Leo’s heart. “I can’t believe I’m doing a minimum wage job. I’m overqualified for this shit, but if it really helps get some marks in Leo’s mind as Jamie said, then I’ll do it.”Diane’s presence did attract a few men into buying things in the priciest section.In just an hour, the manager felt happy for giving the
CHAPTER 454
“Who the hell are you?” Subrina didn’t show any patience toward this impolite, ignorant stranger who dared to sit before her without even asking her permission. “If you didn’t have a good reason coming here, then believe me, you’ll leave with five dozen dog bites.”“I’m a friend of your daughter.”“My daughter?” Subrina looked at him from top to bottom. “Which daughter?”“Which one do you think?”“Diane?”Leo smiled. “You’re correct.”“So what brought you here?” Subrina’s tone changed. “Don’t tell me that Diane is with you right now. Is she staying at your house?”“No, she’s staying at my dad’s house.”Subrina’s jaw dropped. “Y-Your dad? H-How can she live in your dad’s house?” she got up from her chair. “Has she completely lost her fucking mind? Where is your house?”Leo was surprised by her response. “You seem to be mistaken about something. She’s not dating my dad.”“That’s what she says in the beginning. Take me to your dad’s house! Now!”“She’s learning martial arts from him.”Su
CHAPTER 455
In the end, Subrina didn’t let the dogs loose.Leo exited the villa gate.Nicky was competing with the guard in rap songs and completely outdid the guard.But the guard was quite happy to have met Nicky who had so much talent that the guard couldn’t even feel jealous. He only felt admiration.“You should try to become a professional rapper. You’ll become a legend,” the guard told Nicky.“Rapping is just my hobby,” Nicky said and then opened the car door for Leo. Nicky quickly drove away. “How did it go, Boss?”“Now I’m sure that Denver lost his memories three years back,” Leo said. “That’s why he wasn’t able to return to Hawkers all this time.”“Who can erase his memories?”“He supposedly raided Crimia three years back.”Nicky’s eyes bulged wide open. “T-That impregnable criminal city?”“Yeah. Even I can’t guarantee that I’ll make it back ‘alive’ from that city,” Leo uttered. “I’ve heard many stories about it, that it has a hundred floors or so and that each floor is wider than Salem
CHAPTER 456
At Den Bank headquarters.Bianca and her dad just finished talking with the investors and were now having a discussion while playing golf inside the recreation room.Darrell was able to put the ball into the coffee mug no matter how they were tilted. He could hit the walls accurately so that the ball ended up in the coffee mug which was laid horizontally on the floor.Bianca, however, was not able to play the game well.“You seem distracted,” Darrell asked. “What are you thinking about?”“I was wondering if its right to remove 11,000 positions in the next year,” Bianca said. “I know that rapid resetting will increase the lenders’ stock price, but… should the cut be this deep?”“With artificial intelligence also rapidly improving, it’s necessary to erode the disposable roles,” Darrell replied. “I expect that we’ll save over 1.2 billion dollars by eliminating 11,000 employees. In fact, many of our consumer companies will be shedding thousands of employees in the coming months.”Bianca f
CHAPTER 457
“Leo Adler, the head of Eagle Rise Group?” Bianca was even more shocked than her dad.After all, she had tried to get Leo’s appointment many times in the past, but she couldn’t.Bianca could easily get the appointment of the governor if she wanted, but she couldn’t get Leo’s appointment, not even once.It left a bad taste in her mouth.“Why is that egotistic guy at our bank?” Bianca was walking out. She was ready to meet and talk to him, but Darrell stopped her.“Don’t rush it. Why do you think he’s here?” Darrell asked.“We’ll know once we talk to him.”“He’s here because of Denver Nighthawk,” Darrell said.Bianca was startled. “What makes you think so? Is it because he attended the Rose Port opening ceremony?”Darrell somewhat nodded.“What if he asks us to pick sides?” Bianca asked back.“That’s what worries me as well,” Darrell frowned. “What do you think are the chances of Denver winning the competition and getting his hands on the Black Hawk Card?”“I don’t know how powerful his
CHAPTER 458
At Wang Corps headquarters.Jordan Wang was reprimanding the staff for his company-produced cars receiving a safety rating of less than five.“I don’t care if we’re saving a bit more fuel than before,” Jordan rebuked the directors. “What we need to save is the passengers first. Everything else comes afterward.”“B-But, sir, we have other models which offer greater safety,” one director explained. “It’s just that this particular model offers a little less safety. We got a 4.4 safety rating, but in return, it will offer 2 more miles per liter. It can also accelerate faster.”“So that the rate of accidents can increase?” Jordan harrumphed. “Who’s the chairman of this company?”“Y-You, of course.”“Then do as I want. We will compete with the changing market in our own ways,” Jordan told them. “Safety comes first. Everything else comes after. The reason our company has grown over the years is because we produce quality products that last a long time. If the toy is costly but can’t even end
CHAPTER 459
After working for three hours and earning sixty dollars from the hourly wages and ninety more dollars from the five percent commission, Diane returned to Jamie’s home.Jamie was in the frontyard, shoveling the snow to create a thin path outside.“His back is totally exposed. I’ll show him how pathetic he is,” Diane crawled on her toes and then suddenly kicked at his butt. “Oh, no! There’s a centipede on your butt!”BAM~!Diane found herself lying fifteen feet away buried in the snow.She got up with effort and looked to be in shock. Her ankle turned sour. “How did I get here?”She looked at Jamie who was still sweeping and acting like nothing happened.“This geezer… did he catapult me with his aura or something?” Diane frowned. “How is that even possible? I couldn’t even see him move. Just how strong is this old guy?”Diane still had no idea what exactly happened.“M-Master Jamie,” Diane walked over to him, slightly limping. “Are you okay? Did I kill the centipede?”“I think it ran aw
CHAPTER 460
Nox and Kuro returned to Mount First.Nox kneeled before Mickey and reported everything, but Kuro was just standing on the side.Kuro didn’t seem to have inclination on accepting Mickey as his lord just yet.“It’s rare for you to fail a mission, but it’s understandable if that woman was with Jamie Adler,” Mickey shut the book he was reading. It was a book about the founding of the four guardians. “What’s more interesting is that Leo Adler came here and also brought that woman along. Why would he be walking around with Denver’s ex-fiancee? Surely, he has ulterior motives.”“We can contact him and make use of him,” Kuro suggested.“If you think Leo is easy to handle, you’re mistaken,” Mickey replied. “He’s not just a single person. He has the entire Eagle Rise Group behind him. He’s a little too much for me to take on right now. It would require a great deal of dedication to bring him down. With the Rankers Festival approaching, I can’t afford to have attention diverted elsewhere.”“I w
