CHAPTER 161
At Drake’s restaurant.This was a small to medium sized restaurant, which was quite popular for a very long time.A man in a long leather coat entered this restaurant.He ordered two dishes.Once the food was served, he ate a bit and then looked at the waiter. “Call the chef here.”“I-Is the food not to your liking, sir?” the waiter asked nervously.“I’ll talk to the chef, so call him please,” the man responded coldly.Moments later, the chef arrived.He was a tall and handsome man with not a single fault in his looks.“What’s your complaint, sir?” he humbly asked.“My name is Rob,” the man in the cream-colored coat introduced himself by standing up and shaking the chief’s hand. “It’s an honor to meet you, Sir Jim.”Jim’s expression changed. “Do you know me?”“I was sent here by my friend,” Rob explained in a low voice. “Actually, he didn’t want me to come here, but I thought I should.”“I don’t get what you’re trying to say. Who’s your friend?” Jim asked.“He’s the one who rescued yo
CHAPTER 162
Later that day.Rob sat down in a park not far from Serenity company.He waited for more than an hour.“I thought he’d come, but I’ve waited enough…” Rob was getting up, but then he saw a man in a hat and goggles entering the park.Smiling, he sat down.The man in the hat came straight to him and sat down next to him.“;How did it go?” Kevin asked.“I won’t call it a failure, but I didn’t succeed, either,” Rob said, acting like he was reading a newspaper. “He wants to meet you. Face to face.”“What’s your opinion on him?”“My opinion?”“Aren’t you an aura user?” Kevin said.Rob was quite surprised. “Since when did you know?”“I guessed it when you said you’ll meet Jim Draknor. Now that I met you in person, I can tell.”“Huh, you must have gotten hold of some strange systemic power,” Rob laughed. “I don’t sense any abnormal aura from you, so it must be some crazy system.”“Well… we can talk about ourselves later, so tell me about this Jim Draknor. Is he worth meeting?” Kevin asked.“To
CHAPTER 163
At O’Brian mansion.Venessa woke up in the afternoon. She was having a cold, so it wasn’t easy for her to get up from the bed.She inhaled some herbal vapors and then came out of her room.To her shock, the corridors were lined with bodyguards of both genders.There were dozens of them.“What are you all here for?” she asked one of them. “Did some big shot come to this mansion?”“No, ma’am,” one of them replied politely. “We were hired to protect the people of this house.”“This house?’” Venessa frowned.She didn’t talk with them. Instead, she went to Orland’s room.There were guards in his room, too.She told them to get out.Only after Orland gave them permission, they walked out of the room and closed the door.“Why did you hire so many of them?” Venessa asked. “What are you afraid of?”“Not what, but who.”“Don’t tell me it’s Kevin Kingsley you’re afraid of?” she snorted. “That snot-nosed brat who would clean my spectacles and polish my staff whenever I tell him to? You’re afraid
CHAPTER 164
At the dining table.Venessa was smiling as she looked at all the family members.“It’s been a while since we all ate together like this,” Venessa said.Cecilia was seated right next to her grandmother.Venessa put a small box in front of her granddaughter, puzzling others. “Don’t open it. It’s a gift for your husband.”“For Kevin?”“Give it to your husband,” Venessa stated.Cecilia smiled. “Okay.”Brielle couldn’t even force out a smile. “Aunt, when are you leaving? Do you need me to arrange flights? Just tell me.”“You don’t have to worry about my flight trips anymore, Brielle,” Venessa laughed. “I’m staying here for a while. I’m not leaving until I see Serenity get back to its feet.”“That’s…” Brielle was not expecting this.If Venessa were to stay here, it would be highly inconvenient for her.Brielle looked at her daughter-in-laws for help.“Grandma,” Naomi showered a beautiful smile. “I’m going to a flower park this evening. Will you come with me?”“Oh, I would love to, but I th
CHAPTER 165
After lunch, Cecilia and Venessa walked out of the mansion building.Brielle had arranged a car for them.The driver was a bald guy with a skull tattoo.“The driver’s name is Andre,” Brielle told them. “He’s highly skilled and will keep you from harm. Two squads will keep watching you and will step in if you need help.”“Why are you going this far for my security, Mom?” Cecilia didn’t like it as it felt like her mom was just trying to keep Kevin from approaching her.“Obviously, to keep you from harm,” Brielle replied, patting her shoulder. “No matter what you think of Kevin, I won’t accept him until he’s proven his innocence. Until then, you should keep your distance from him.”Because Venessa was around, Brielle was speaking politely and much more rationally than usual.“Having more security doesn’t hurt,” Venessa said.Cecilia reluctantly entered the car.After three cars left, Brielle took out her mobile and speed-dialed a number. “They just left the mansion. Heading to Serenity.”
CHAPTER 166
Like a deer that would freeze in extreme winters, Kevin’s body froze against his will.He managed to generate heat and break free before he got frozen deeper.His opponent Gabe, however, didn’t seem the least surprised.Kevin, on the other hand, was huffing and puffing. He tried to talk with the system, but it wasn’t responding. It went utterly silent as if it didn’t exist.Kevin looked at Gabe who looked like he worked out once or twice a month. How can such a guy exude such powerful chilling energy?Just standing in front of him was making it difficult to breathe.“H-How can there be such a gap between us?” Gritting his teeth, Kevin lunged forth and threw his fist. “Silver Fire Fist!”His fist burned through the air and zoomed onto his opponent’s face.Gabe blocked it with a single finger.Kevin’s eyes froze in disbelief.“The ability to turn your body into steel…” Gabe uttered. “Is it one of the abilities your showman system granted you?”Kevin’s eyes enlarged to the max. “H-How do
CHAPTER 167
“K-Kevin!” Naomi and Dabby, who were watching the television drama, got up from their seats.Their eyes looked for the guards, but all the guards were down on the floor.When did that happen?How come they didn’t even hear the guards fall to the floor? Or not even notice it? They were probably too immersed in the program.“Did you knock out all the security guys?” Naomi asked. “Did you put sleeping pills in their drinks?”“I did what I could, Naomi,” Kevin came down slowly and steadily.There was no need for him to hurry because he knew they wouldn’t be able to run from him.“Why are you here, Kevin?!” Dabby asked angrily. “Haven’t you already made us suffer the other night? What more do you want?”“You only cleaned a toilet once, and you’re acting like you did it forever,” Kevin came down to their level. His gaze wasn’t pleasant but cold. “You really have it easy, Dabby. Until you got married, your parents took care of you. After marriage, your wife takes care of you.”“How dare you!
CHAPTER 168
Orland’s hands shivered as they approached the ties tying the toilet tools around his waist. “Y-You cannot do this to me, the great Orland O’Brian!”“You better remove that only if you’re gonna clean, Uncle,” Kevin warned. “Otherwise, I will take you and leave you in a pig farm. You’re gonna sleep with the pigs for a few days and nights so you’ll grow grounded.”Orland’s hands stopped.He couldn’t remove the ties around his waist anymore.“Good choice. I heard that pig shit smells much worse than chicken shit,” Kevin said. “So, you did the right thing. Now, go and clean the toilet. I didn’t even apply sauce, so all you gotta do is clean it. I’m giving you a relatively simpler task, so do it and impress your son and daughter-in-law who are watching you. Show them what you can do.”“Fuck you,” Orland uttered and then started walking toward the toilet.Dabby and Naomi couldn’t believe that Orland was actually willing to clean the toilet.Orland was somebody who wouldn’t listen to anybody
CHAPTER 169
At Serenity company.Three SUVs stopped outside.Andre stepped out first and started smoking.Cecilia got out of the car and opened the door for her grandmother and helped her get out.Venessa coldly looked at Andre, “Do we have to tell you to open the door?”Andre smiled at them. “I only open doors for those that are worthy of my respect.”“Look at this guy…” Venessa turned toward him. “So I am not worthy of your respect? What’s your bank balance? What’s your background?”“Those things mean nothing to me, granny,” Andre replied. “I only care about aura.”“Aura?”“If you’ve got it, I would know, but you don’t, so you’re nothing but a frog in a well,” Andre said.“A-A frog in a well?” Venessa’s eyes swelled out of her sockets. Nobody called her that in as far and as long as she could remember. “You stinky brat!” She raised her hand and slapped him.Andre’s expression didn’t change one bit.“Argh.” It was Venessa’s hand that hurt. “What a brute.”“Grandma, let’s go,” Cecilia quickly too
CHAPTER 170
In the evening, Cecilia and her grandmother came to a wedding party.They also brought Emma and Max along to lift up their spirits.What Cecilia loved about her grandmother was that she always tried to be cheerful and kept the people around her feeling the same, especially those she liked.Cecilia still remembered all the times she went with her grandmother to many parties. It brought back all those memories to her.But right now, the reason for coming to the wedding was more than just to greet the wedding couple.It was to find investors for Serenity company.Cecilia had already tried calling Jordan Wang, but Jordan Wang did not even want to talk about the deal unless Kevin came off clean.She tried some other businessmen as well, but none of them came forward to support.She could use her own money, but that wouldn’t do much for the company’s image. It would do a lot more good if some big investor were to turn toward their company.This was why Venessa brought Cecilia to the party.
