After the board meeting ended, Diane was leaving with a dejected look.

“You,” Jessica told her. “Come to our office.”

Russell and Jessica together exited the room.

“Why did she call me?” Diane wondered a bit anxiously. “Wait, if it’s going to give me a chance to talk to Russell, then I’ll take it.”

Diane quickly went to Russell’s office.

Jessica was sitting on the edge of the desk and was feeding berries to Russell. “Show us the recordings.”

“Are you really asking for those recordings after the meeting finished?” Diane sounded impatient.

She somewhat envied what Russell and Jessica were doing. It even upset her.

“Yeah. Depending on whether you did what I said or not, you will either keep or lose your job,” Jessica warned.

Diane then showed all the recordings that were on her mobile.

Jessica looked at Russell. “What do you think?”

“You asked for ten. She brought twelve. So, what’s there to think?” Russell spoke calmly.

He looked calm but also a little tough and difficult to understand.

    Diane used the check Charlotte had given her and credited a million dollars into her own account, which she later transferred to the Den Bank.She was a bit worried about whether the transfer would happen or not, but after the money successfully transferred, she felt so relieved, confident and arrogant at the same time.She mocked Charlotte in her heart, calling her foolish for giving away a million dollars and even allowing her to transfer it to the Den bank.“Don’t underestimate Charlotte Heller,” the sandpaper system warned her. “That woman didn’t seem to have any superpowers, but she definitely gives off an abnormal aura. She’s not simple, so don’t underestimate her and let your guard down.”“Hmph, of course I know that she’s not simple,” Diane snorted. “She’s the owner of one of the biggest banks in the world. I’m sure she has crazy influence around the world, but with you by my side, I’m also sure that I can fight back against such bigwigs. Don’t you agree?”“I do agree,” the sy

It melted into the rest of the car.”Big Dog also joined and forcefully tore apart the back door.They were expecting severe casualties, but Diane stepped out with minor wounds and coughing.“P-Please save him,” she hurriedly said and collapsed to the side.However, to her surprise and confusion, the brothers grabbed her and rushed to

    Diane was eating black grapes while lying down on the patient bed.The air conditioner was turned on, and a nurse was showing her the latest local news on a mobile website.“Why have they still not published the news?” Diane frowned. “Is the Myers family keeping the accident completely hidden? They have the power to do it. Tsk, at this rate, I’ll have to pay him a visit to find out his current situation, whether he's alive or not.”Diane glanced at the nurse. “Bring me pistachio milk. I like it cold.”“Y-Yes, ma’am,” the nurse didn’t mind doing chores for Diane because the head nurse had ordered all the nurses to take great care of Diane and the brothers.After the nurse left, Diane started talking with the system.“They are doing all the tests for me even though I look fine,” Diane snickered. “The doctors really love money, but I’m not going to pay them anything. If the men who admitted me here pay for me, it’s fine, but if they leave it to me, I won’t pay a dime. Also if it shows in

    “Wait a second,” the guard blocked Diane’s path with his left arm. “You can’t leave without showing the bill receipt, ma’am.”Even though he said ‘ma’am,’ Diane didn’t like the look in this guy’s eyes.He was one of those men who were foolishly proud of doing their job correctly.Seduction might not work on these types of men, and Diane wasn’t the type to seduce someone who looked much older than her, either.Besides, she was never the type to receive insults, and she was also not in a good mood right now.All of this added up and made Diane touch the guard’s hand.The guard pulled his hand away. “If you don’t have the receipt, then you can’t leave,” he stressed his words.But then, he felt a stinging sensation in his chest.It made him feel weak.As he touched his chest, his sight also turned blurry.“This is what happens when you mess with people who are way out of your league,” Diane coldly said and walked away.The guard couldn’t even hear her words clearly because his sense of he

    Diane started rubbing her palms together.“Let me bring you a chilled drink,” the manager told her and was walking toward his tent.Just then, the main building’s ceiling collapsed. All the metal and cement crashed pretty fast, giving little to no time for anybody to react.The people who were on the top fell right into the broken iron beams, which pierced their bodies.Some died on the spot, whereas some suffered bad injuries and were not in a position to move.“Oh, no!” Diane covered her mouth with both hands and moved back as a cloud of dust filled the entire property.The manager stood in frozen shock as something completely unexpected had happened.The noise was also loud enough for Little Dog and Big Dog to hear.And they also saw the building collapse.They rushed out and made sure to check on Diane from a distance. Only after seeing that she was safe, they felt relieved.“A building collapsed like that, and she’s standing there instead of running away,” Little Dog opined. “She

    Nox did not take the ambulance to the hospital.Instead, he stopped it at a corner of the street, and the real ambulance driver who had been held at gunpoint now switched places with Nox.There was only one car at that spot.Kuro was inside this average-looking car.“I met her and gave her the card,” Nox told him.“What makes you think she’s going to come?”“She loves money. I gave her a VIP entrance card to a casino,” Nox said. “I would be surprised if she doesn’t come running.”“If she’s really as money-hounding as you say, then she’s going to be easy to control,” Kuro said. “But I’m not going to put my dick in a hole infested with parasites. That’s not happening.”“You don’t have to have sex with her. As long as you can marry her and make her be obedient with your money and fame, that’s enough,” Nox replied.“Let’s build my fame in the casino then,” Kuro laughed, lighting up a La Leon cigar worth over a hundred dollars. “In a few weeks, my name shall become popular among the gamble

    Diane had regained her consciousness a minute ago, thanks to her system’s efforts.However, Diane did not attack the brothers.After all, the system warned her, “These brothers are not ordinary. They used some kind of energy in their attacks when they struck you. I had to work hard to remove the seal they put on your body.”“Seal?” Diane frowned a little. “Did they seal my energy point when they struck my neck? They must have learned some eastern martial arts then.”Diane had female friends, some of whom would go to dojos to attract the males. Diane also went there a few times in the past, so she knew a little about the martial arts they used.Some men tried poking her body to impress her, too, but she wasn’t impressed as they weren’t good-looking enough for her.“Even if they are martial artists, can’t I just weaken their organs with your help?” Diane talked with the system in her mind. “I just need to rub my palms, and then… they will collapse, not knowing what hit them.”“Like I sa

    In Hawk Park.In the High Tower.Borg was talking with Minerva, offering her food, but she refused to eat it. “If you don’t eat, you’re going to get weaker.”“Just give me my locket,” Minerva calmly said.Borg smiled. “You think I don’t know that you can contact your mother with that locket? I’d rather not fight that monster who can regenerate at will, you see. I’m not sure if I can win against your mother.”“You’re not going to get away with this,” Minerva looked him in the eye. “The council will figure things out. And you will lose everything.”“No one knows that you’re here, babe,” Borg pulled her cheek. “The council will be busy going after Denver, so I have all the time in the world to make you and your dad meet.”Minerva frowned immediately. “My dad? Don’t tell me…”“I’ve already informed Golden Falcon,” Borg grinned. “He said he’s on his way.”“D-Don’t do this. I don’t want to talk to him, much less go to his side!” Minerva growled.“Hahaha, now your expression suits you more,”

    “Heh, she’s going to cough and bleed to death,” Gray snickered.As the blue gas swiftly filled the room Sheryl was in, she waved her arm.Many fascicles of leaves flew about in the room, and the density of the gas lowered pretty fast.Gray’s eyes swelled wide open. “I-Impossible. She’s absorbing the poisonous gas with the leaves.” She quickly frowned. “What’s more, the leaves don’t seem to be changing color, which means they’re immune to poison. This is one sick ability. If she’s capable of this, what more can she do?”Borg was watching this on a projected screen. He removed his armor suit and folded his sleeves. “I will handle her, but be prepared for collateral damage.”“I will do my best to increase the defenses, Borg,” Gray was saying, but just then she received a red alert.The movement of the turtle monster changed.Gray, Borg, and Sheryl felt it without even having to read any messages.“Why is it heading to the surface?” Gray was utterly confused. “Did Green Fang do this?

    From laser guns to ADE nets, Borg was able to control all of the electronic gadgets in the room.The only exception was the mobile in Sheryl’s pocket not because of Rose but because of Sheryl’s aura.“I can deal with the laser bullets, but is there any way for you to control those nets, Rose?” she queried under her breath.“No, they are not just simple electronic gadgets, and he’s securing them with nanobots,” Rose replied. “I can’t control those bots as they only receive signals from only trusted sources. Maybe, if we disguise ourselves well enough, we might succeed, but it’ll take time to crack their code.”“How much time?”“Indefinite. It could take hours or days.”“That’s not helping.” Sheryl created a bough of branches to push back all the ADE nets, but the laser bullets still destroyed her branches.She didn’t use aura in order to conserve her strength.Contrary to her approach, Borg let loose his skills.He started off with the 108 combat styles, which focused on the rabid move

    Sheryl didn’t wait for Borg to attack her.Rather, she attacked him first.She created a wooden sword in her left hand and a dagger in her right, both of which had been enhanced by aura.With a single leap, she closed the distance, and the sword sought to behead Borg in a quick diagonal slash.Borg moved his head to the side, but then came the dagger stabbing at his chest.Before he could move, the weapon struck him and put a dent in his armor.He still used that little bit of time and managed to jump back.“That was dangerous…” Borg’s expression changed.“Tsk,” Sheryl slightly frowned. (He calmed down instead of panicking. I guess he isn’t the Fourth Son for no reason.)“The double-dealing technique…” Borg said with a hint of arrogance in his tone. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. But your aura is lacking…” he looked to his left and saw ADE nets. “It seems Gray troubled you before I got here.”“Don’t fret,” Sheryl replied. “Even though I feel like I’m having fear, I can still f

Sorry for the inconvenience.The actual Chapter 321:A few minutes earlier.Sheryl just came out of the High Tower and saw a cloud moving in a direction it wasn’t supposed to.“The winds are blowing north, but the cloud is heading eastward?”This immediately reminded her of the time when she, Denver, and Catherine used a cloud to hide and close in on the tower not long ago and successfully infiltrated.“Is someone inside that cloud?”She had no idea who could be inside that cloud or where the cloud was heading, but she took a gamble and followed the cloud.She released a thin branch and grabbed the cloud and hung onto it.In a couple of minutes, the cloud reached the ocean and took a dive into the waters without slowing down.The cloud separated from the hidden jet,

    As the guards swarmed on her, Sheryl asked, “Is Minerva here?”“A dying person doesn’t need to know,” Gray was walking away. “I’m going to start experimenting on Golden Falcon. His genes will help boost our speed, I’m sure.”The guards shot laser bullets at Sheryl.She created wooden armor around herself, but the laser bullets were able to pierce her armor without a problem.On top of that, the aura dispersing nets deteriorated the quality fast, and this didn’t help Sheryl, either.Nevertheless, she used all her energy to burst at once in the form of wooden spikes, which slipped through the gaps in the nets and killed the guards that were all around her.All of them were severely injured, but none of them were dead as they were all augmented humans capable of surviving even with some of the vital organs gravely damaged.Gray turned around and was shocked to see Sheryl freeing herself from the nets.She didn’t break the nets as they were highly sturdy yet flexible. She was able to use

    “Yellow Tiger…” Elissa’s scornful gaze first fell upon him. “A guardian like you is unable to stop the rankers from doing what they want. But you’ve lost an arm and a leg. This is beyond shameful. You should just retire from your position.”“Ugh,” Yellow Tiger slightly lowered his head in shame. “I’ve got no excuses. I will meet the king soon and give him my resignation letter.”“Mm?” Elissa looked at Borg whose chest wound was deep. But the blood coming out of it was bubbling.It suddenly started to beep and then exploded.Elissa waved her hand and the explosion got sucked into her hand and turned into a ball of black mass.Catherine’s eyes swelled out of her sockets. (D-Did she just cancel out a big explosion? How? What kind of power does she have?)“It seems I was tricked,” Elissa was staring at Borg’s body. It wasn’t moving anymore. “This is just a clone.”“A-A clone?!” Natalia and other council members were stunned. “Then the real one…”“He probably escaped through the ocean,” El

    The slaves of the council members didn’t even have the time to react.The same could be said for most of the council members.Even Yellow Tiger was a fraction of a second late to react.The two laser beams flashed at them.They were supposed to be struck dead; at least most of them.But an aqua shield formed above all of them and deflected the laser beams at the last moment.“Ngh?” Borg frowned.The huge aqua shield looked like a dome. It was spinning around all of them, and the movement made it easier to deflect the laser beams in tangential paths.It was cast by Natalia.“Borg, you have gone too far!” Natalia leaped at him and thrust her sword at his chest.She was fast, but Denver intervened and kicked the sword away.“If we kill him, we won’t know where Minerva is!” Denver blurted.Natalia was surprised to see that Denver had freed himself from the black energy ropes.“H-How did you come out of the ADE rope?” Natalia asked.“I just used spiritual aura, and it disintegrated the rop

    “You’ve got so many skills, Borg, but you won’t be able to defeat those who have polished the few skills they’ve got,” Yellow Tiger tried to roast him with words. “That’s because you mostly focus on acquiring new skills but not so much on sharpening those skills you’ve already got.”“It’s like having a wife who loves you and wants to be loved, but you show love to every other woman that comes your way,” Natalia added. “And you expect yourself to be called a great husband? Nope. That's not how the world works.”“But I never set my sights on marriage,” Borg replied while he charged his hands with energy as silently as possible. “As long as I am better than I was yesterday, I will keep improving. My graph only goes up, and in time, I will master all those skills I’ve got, and I will be more than capable of sitting at the top of the world.”“Hahaha,” the council members started laughing. “Technology sure can help create powerful things, but you do know that aura reigns supreme, don’t you?

    Yellow Tiger was observing the fight between Denver and Borg.“That punk released poisonous flames!” Yellow Tiger didn’t like it. “He doesn’t care about others’ lives. What if the council members breathe those flames and lose their minds?”The council members are generally more resistant to poisons because they were often fed rare herbs that would boost their health and strength.Nevertheless, Borg’s flames were not ordinary.They were living flames,which he could control, thanks to the nanobots present in the flames.These flames didn’t need a fire source as Borg could freely control them.They could burn for as long as he wanted.They could roast anybody he wished.And Borg made sure that those ever-burning flames concentrated on Denver and Catherine.“They can’t seem to escape from those deadly flames,” one of the mothers of the council said, looking up.“Don’t underestimate the lightning ability,” Natalia was saying, and something flew out of the flames and landed on the ground be
