Before Hailee could take a step forward, Vincent stopped her track. She looks up at him with questioning stares in her eyes. Vincent did not answer, but his eyes traveled from her face down to her legs. She did not understand at first. "Is something wrong?" she asked curiously, wondering if she needed to wash her face. Or maybe had a shower? But she already did that a couple of hours ago, and so she didn't smell of anything, and Vince's reason made her confused. "It's getting windy. Maybe…

All of a sudden, tension was put up between the two groups. The elder's private bodyguards and the alliance agents couldn't make a move or act at the moment when at least thirty snipers were aiming at them. Vincent swept his gaze to the vastness of forest in front of the chateau. Based on the positions of the laser lights, it was where they came from. Then, his gaze moved to fifteen noblemen below and fixed his eyes on Prince George. If he isn't mistaken, he is also Hailee's cousin, like Prince…

"Good evening. Thank you for coming tonight. Since we all know why we all gather here, I would not take this long with pleasantries and acknowledgement...

Vincent put back his phone in his trench coat after the call. He went back to the bar counter; Shun poured a whisky on his glass this time. "Thanks…" Vincent picks up the glass, toast in the air, and then says, "How honored I am to be served by Chairman Crow." Shun chuckled. He shook his head after he emptied his glass. "The honor is mine, Vincent. As I've mentioned already, we are a family now… I need not say this… Nothing I want from you but to make my cousin happy." Vincent smiled, then…

"Frederick!" Nicholas Crow called out to him. With hurried steps, Fred climbed the staircase, spreading his arms to embrace the man. "Brother…" "It's been a while, Frederick." Nicholas smiled and returned the embrace. He patted Fred's back before he let him go to look at the man walking behind Fred. Nicholas shifted his attention to Vincent. Fred nodded. He introduced Vincent to Nicholas. "My oldest child and only son, Vincent..." "It's an honor to meet you, Master Crow." Vincent politely…

Present Time Suddenly, the stillness of the wind was disturbed when the 24.1 millimeters bullet was cut in half by a particular bullet that countered the shot. And this bullet continues traveling straight to the man hiding in the clock tower. "I missed it!" he yelled on the radio before the bullet hit his right eye. He groaned in pain. But what he was upset about was someone able to counter his shot. 'Who could that be?' He knew no one in this world who could make a clear shot to counter…

At the library… Jacob and Alex sat down opposite each other. The butler served them coffee and left immediately to give them privacy. Jacob's fists remained tightly clenched. He was concealing his anger. All these years, he knew that few of the elders didn't fully support Shun, and they were on allegiance to bring him down from his seat. Shun is vocally telling him this. However, he couldn't see a bigger reason to step in to help Shun. He focused on ruling the Oceanic Continent to make it a…

Kelly left to search for Pitt to tell the guy to pick up Chester in Dream City. With the maids' help, she found the guy joining the food taste. "You have such a thick face, Pitterson Cha!" Kelly scolded the guy after putting the whole mousse cake in his mouth. "You're already eating the dessert without even trying the starting course!" "What? I'm hungry. I'm not here for food-tasting, but to eat!" Pitt dug the main course dishes, completely ignoring Kelly's fierce gaze at him. "Get out! Go and…

The following day, Alex's suitcase was ready, as well as his flight was scheduled for tonight. Duke Martini made sure that Alex's arrival was on the day of Vincent and Fred's departure. "This is the perfect time you are by her side." Alessandro reminded his nephew. Alexander creases his forehead, gaping at his uncle with a suspicious look. "What do you mean by that, Uncle?" he asked with curiosity. Casting a glance at his nephew, the Duke turned his gaze back to his food. "Do what I am telling…
