There were about fifteen men and women seated around a wide rectangular table, the kind that you find in executive meeting halls, and they were all in golden-made robes. The designs looked cooler than the silver and copper robes.

At the head of the table, Gerald found the vice chairman of this institute, Dr. Wallace K Rainier, in a far more exquisite multicolored robe, ascending from copper to silver and then to gold by the top half and collar.

It looked like a medieval vampire-like costume, but it was actually well-designed.

At this point, Gerald has accepted the fact that everything about this institute gave an ancient vibe. There was something impressive that he couldn't deny though - this room was brimming with power.

The secretary led them into the room.

“Vice Chairman Rainier, Honorable first-rank Archeologists and Antiquarians, the awaited member on trial, Professor Julian Dalton, is here.”

Julian stood before the people in this room, albeit nervous, as he bowed slightly.

    “What are you guys still standing there for?! Quick, go beat up that orphaned loser!”Though Alex's lackeys had witnessed the scary strength that Gerald's bodyguards possess, they were certain that Gerald was not as strong. Plus, there were many of them and one of Gerald. How could he possibly take them all on?Thinking up to this point, the lackeys chuckled with a sinister expression on their faces as they quickly grabbed various bottles from nearby tables before rushing straight at Gerald.Juliet's eyes widened as she was the first person to catch the oncoming group of attackers.“Ger, watch out!”Hearing these words, Terry also saw the lackeys heading towards Gerald with sinister expressions and make-do weapons in their hands.Gerald, on the other hand, was not alert at all. He had actually sensed the danger coming before Juliet even noticed. In fact, Gerald was a bit surprised himself. Growing up, he always had senses that were a bit superior to his peers.This time though, it was

    Seeing the chance to cause Gerald more trouble, Alex quickly spoke before Gerald could utter a word.“That's right. His name is Gerald Stark. He's always been a troublemaker.”The leader of the bouncers stared at Gerald with a slight shake of his head.“I've never seen you here before.”Once again, Alex spoke for Gerald.“That's because he's new. This is his first night here.”Susan rushed over to the bouncer's side.“Sir, you need to deal with that bastard! Back on campus, he's known to be a bully. I mean, look at what he did to one of your men. That should tell you everything you need to know about him!”Juliet couldn't take this anymore. She took a few steps closer to the leader of the bouncers.“Susan, what the fuck are you talking about about?! If there's a bully at WU, it's you and the shameless asshole you call a boyfriend!”Susan glared at Juliet, internally cursing at her for trying to ruin this plan by calling out her lies. To counter this, she feigned a worried expression.

    Gerald wasn't in the mood to come up with an excuse, and thus, he shrugged his shoulders.“I don't know. I guess I was just lucky.”He knew that this reply was labeled, but this was better than not saying anything.The AFSB Squad-9 bodyguard held his ground as the bouncer kept trying to push him back.“Mister, I'll ask you to give up on your attempt to push me, and kindly step aside so my boss and his friends can take up the spot they've rightfully paid for?”The bouncer wasn't about to give up. His credibility as a professional club-guard was in the line. This bodyguard had a smaller physique compared to him. He'll definitely lose face as an employee of Blue Valley Club if he doesn't deal with this issue.Therefore, the bouncer resorted to a more violent approach. He scoffed as he quit trying to push the bodyguard, and folded his hands into fists as he glared at his opponent.“Then don't blame me for dealing with you like this!”He raised his fist, ready to punch the bodyguard's fac

    Terry was glad that Gerald had stopped him from taking back his money from the scared staff. He was furious that he almost accepted this act of bullying from Alex and Susan.“What the heck?! Alex, last time I checked, your family is not the owner of Blue Valley Club, and no one in your family is a shareholder! So what gives you the right to stop us from reserving a private booth?!”Alex gave Terry a look of disdain.“What the fuck are you? You've actually grown enough balls between your legs to talk to me?!”He pointed a finger at Terry.“Listen, I know where you work, okay? That insignificant cafe not far from here. That's where you get the bit of money you survive on, right? I could easily make your manager fire your ass within the next 24 hours if you piss me off.”Alex wasn't aware of what had happened to Cheerio-Law Cafe, and thus he was under the impression that it was still the same simple high-end cafe where he could exercise his influence.Terry sneered at Alex, boldly walki

    Susan ran her hand over his chest before kissing him on the lips.“You really think I was staring because I wanna get back together with that loser? I was just surprised that Crimson & Crown was actually treating that lowlife well. I don't get it. Why him? Could it be that Manager Stephanie Vacker is attracted to him, and they're possibly fucking?”Alex finally calmed down from Susan's explanation.“Who knows? If that's the case, then Miss Vacker must be suffering from some form of blindness, because I don't get what she could possibly see in that idiot.”Susan sighed with relief, glad that she was able to come up with an excuse, or else, she would have been in trouble. She internally reminded herself to be careful at the way she reacted to Gerald, especially when Alex was around.Then the realization hit her. Why was she considering her own behavior around Gerald? There was no way she was actually attracted to him, right?After a one more drink with his friend, Alex glanced in Gera

    Juliet looked incredibly gorgeous in a low turtle-neck, long sleeved top with a gold fitting leather mini-skirt that accentuated her figure perfectly. She had the right makeup on her face with her hair let down in waves to her waist.She looked so gorgeous that none of the five ladies behind her could even dim her light in the slightest. Not in Gerald's eyes, at least.Juliet was quite happy to be here as she gazed at the outfits that Terry and Gerald had on.“Oh my goodness, look at you guys!”She hurried forward to hug Terry first, before going to hug Gerald, when she stopped to really admire his outfit.“Ger, you look really good.”For a miniscule of a second, a look of something unexpected flashed through her eyes, and Gerald was y even sure if he truly saw what he saw. But he ignored it as he hugged her back.“Thanks. Crimson & Crown sent it over on my order. I didn't know how to feel about it at first, but your compliment definitely makes me feel much better.”Before Juliet cou
