Serena glanced at the meal. The delectable meat sauce clung to the thin pasta noodles. Just the sight was able to invoke her appetite. When she sniffed at the pasta, she could smell the mouthwatering meat sauce.After picking up a fork, Serena twirled a pasta noodle around it. She then popped one end into her mouth and began suckling on the sauce, only to slurp it into her mouth later on. Finally, she took her time chewing on the noodle."How's the taste, Serena? It's decent, right?" Cassian felt a little anxious. He wasn't sure if Serena liked his cooking. After all, she was accustomed to eating fancy food.Jessica asked as well, "Does it taste bad?""Yeah. It sucks. You should order your own food, Jessica."Jessica had already expected Cassian's cooking to be bad. But the next thing she knew, she saw Serena devouring the entire plate of pasta as though she had been starving for ages. When she ate, she didn't even care about her image.After polishing off her plate, Serena dem
Serena's residence was a three-story Evonean-style villa that was built next to a lake. The decorations were very lavish, that was for sure.The moment Cassian entered the villa, he felt a gust of cold wind rushing in his face. This made him shiver instantly."Serena, do you live alone?" he asked."Jessica and I live here." Jessica was the short-haired woman who had accompanied Serena the whole time. She was also Serena's assistant.In fact, Serena had introduced Jessica to Cassian in the car."Here's a suggestion, Serena. Either move to a new house, or hire a few maids to live here with you," Cassian said."Why?""According to the principles of geomancy, it's a misfortune to have such a huge house with very few people living in it.""Oh? Do such principles exist?" Serena asked.Cassian explained, "In the world of geomancy, it's said that Earth manifests energy that can be classified as light and dark energy. With light and dark come heaven and earth, which then gives birth
The moment those people saw Thiago, they all stopped talking instantly. For a moment, the atmosphere became silent."Sorry about the sudden summons, fellow brothers. Thank you for your time. This matter has been resolved, so you may leave," Thiago said with a wave of his hand.Just like that, thousands of men retreated from the streets in an orderly fashion. In less than five minutes, the streets were restored to normal.Cassian couldn't help but marvel at Thiago's influence. As expected of Thiago—the presence he commandeered was simply out of this world!"Cassian, Ms. Landon, this is where we part ways. I shall be heading home first," Thiago said with a smile.Cassian nodded. "I'll visit you in the future.""Alright."Serena smiled as well. "Thank you, Lord Drakeford.""You're welcome." Thiago nodded at Serena before leaving with Claude hurriedly.Serena pointed at Vera before asking Cassian, "Are you leaving with her or me?"Cassian could tell that Serena wanted to talk t
"Who are those people?" Michael asked hurriedly.The bellboy shot Thiago a glance quietly in return. Naturally, Michael understood immediately that the crowd was made up of Thiago's subordinates. It made sense. Only Thiago was capable of summoning that many people in Rivershire.Michael turned to look at Thiago instantly. "What is the meaning of this, Lord Drakeford?"Thiago guffawed heartily in response. "Well, you can't blame me for having that many people on my side, yeah?""Are you planning to use your numbers on me, then?" "Weren't you planning on doing the same to me just now?" Thiago rebuked. "Are you the only one who's allowed to do that? I can't do the same as well, hmm?""T-That's not it! Lord Drakeford, this is purely a misunderstanding! I just didn't want Ms. Landon to leave this place! You've already witnessed what happened tonight for yourself, Lord Drakeford—Mr. Salazar is badly hurt, and his servant is slain! If the Marquis ends up investigating this matter, I'
Of course, Ruby's blood-curdling scream pierced through the atmosphere."Shut up! I'll kill you if you keep screaming like that!" The smile on Serena's face vanished instantly, only to be replaced by a cold look.Ruby trembled in response. She dared not make a sound after that.Serena continued, "Instead of staying in Jasperion, you've decided to come all the way to Rivershire just to cause trouble for me! Since you like running around that much, I might as well break your legs! Let's see where else you can go next time!"You'd be reduced to a stone-cold corpse if not for the fact that you're Drew's sister! I won't kill you out of respect toward him, but if you dare cause me any trouble in the future, I won't hesitate to toss you into the river to feed the fishes!"After Serena was done speaking, she passed the gun to Jessica, who stood behind her. Then, she smiled at the rest of the guests."Sorry about the drama. Let's go, Cassian.""Hold on!" Suddenly, a jarring voice rang
Jeremiah died on the spot. Even in his death, he was still clutching his crotch tightly.Perhaps he had never foreseen the fact that he'd end up getting killed by a woman.The room descended into a lapse of silence. A while later, someone finally spoke up."Is he… dead?""Yup.""Wait, the expert who's placed second on the Tigrine Ranking is just… dead? Just like that?""Mhm.""Serena Landon is seriously one crazy fucker! She really is capable of doing anything!""If the Marquis decides to investigate this matter, everyone who's present at this banquet is going to be held responsible!""Oh shit! Thanks to that crazy bitch, we're all doomed!"Claude was also intimidated by Serena's brutal methods. He murmured, "That woman is definitely ruthless, that's for sure.""If a woman wants to make it big in the business world, she has to arm herself with brutal tactics. If not, she'll get devoured by her rivals right away," Thiago commented.He then said to Claude, "If you're planning
