章 557: Birthday Party

The car sped through the city toward the business district where Astral Corporation's HQ was located. About 15 minutes later, with the traffic optimized by Nexus Prime, they arrived at Astral Corp HQ.

After Will handed the car over to the valet who came to greet them, he led little Sylvana toward her father's office. As they arrived, and the moment little Sylvana opened the office door, she was greeted by a lively scene.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

"Surprise!"

Party poppers went off, sending ribbons and confetti flying through the air as the smiling faces of her parents and others shouted "surprise!" However, Sylvana could only see the celebration through the gap under Will's armpit, as he immediately used his body to shield her.

There stood Daniel, her father, along with Koyuki, Greed, Michaela, Penthesilea, and a woman Sylvana had never met before.

"Will… Can't you tell the difference between gunfire and party poppers?" Daniel asked in annoyance.
