"Uhm…brother? What do you mean as your Chief of Staff?" Christina chuckled shyly, taken aback by his brother's sudden proposal.

However, despite introducing himself as a high-ranking official in the Ruthenia…

Witnessing technology far superior to theirs and their reaction when they are fighting the beast itself. All of it was eye candy for the patrons watching the movie. They felt…

The Romeo and Juliet movie took about two hours to complete and as everyone witnessed the story on the big screen, the patrons cried sympathetically to the main characters.

The movie theater was located on the first floor of the shopping mall.
