The bell rang and the morning  break is over. Me and my class quickly go on the room so that we don't get late for the next class

I am now my chair and I notice that Cate,Abigail,Maria and Lucas are my seat mates. Cate is on my left and Abigail is on my right, also Lucas are in my back and Maria is on my front. What is this conincedence!

Our teacher is now changed and Abigail whisper to me and said that our teacher is a former Adventurer. He is so very bulky and muscular and he also have a huge scar on his left arm

He teaches us how to survive without anything except you sword and fist. It is quite a new to me so I took note what he is saying

"So if you are very tired or you ran out of mana, break a monster core and the essence of the core will go fourth unto you and it give you a little boost in Stamina and Mana"

Okay I better take note on that

Half an our later and now the morning period is over.I pack my stuff, Abigail pat my shoulder while I was packing and she asked

"Viktor, are you ready for this afternoon?"

She asked me

"What do you mean?" I response

"Ohh you don't know? we are having a weekly duel match right after the class. You know this right?"

What? I didn't know about this. I read the schedule and I am sure that they don't have this event! Or I am just blind and I don't see it while I was reading the schedules

"Well to be honest, I didn't about weekly duel or something like that. I am sorry"

Abigail response with a laugh

"Hahaha!  why are you apologised to me? You have no mistake dude. Alright I will explain what will gonna happen"

To summarise what Abigail said, me and my classmates will draw a straw and whoever what name will you pick is the one I will be get duel

It was a quite and fair game but what happened if a Support Type Mage will be fighting a Attack Type Mage. That will be brutal

"Thanks for the explaining, Abigail"

"Just call me Abi, and don't be too polite on me dude"

"Alright"

"See, you are too polite"

"Haha, you have a point. So Abi, see ya later"

I response casually just like she said

"Now that's better, yeah see you dude"

I and Abigail finished talking and Abi is going somewhere but I didn't ask and now Iet's go in the dormitory... Wait where is my dorm again?

Oh no, I forgot where it's is! Damn it brain, why are you not working properly!

I have no idea where my dorm is and my final resort is to ask my someone. I think the teacher are having a break in the cafeteria, better let's go there

After couple of minutes, I am in the cafeteria and my guess is correct

I approached my first period techer, yes the teacher with a menacing gaze. For some reason, Cate is also here and she is eating a homemade sandwich that my teacher gave

"Hello sir, can I ask something?"

Teacher quickly look at me but Cate is munching the sandwich like I am not here. She like that sandwich huh?

"Viktor! What do you want to ask?"

I am still having a eye contact on him even I am menaced by his gaze

"Y-Yeah, I forgot where is my dorm but I know what is number of my room"

"Hmm... So what is the number?"

"It's room number 22 sir"

"Ohh wow! What a coincidence!"

He looked at Cate that is still eating and he karate chop her mercilessly

"Hey!  I said that you just eat the half! Not the whole thing!"

"Aw! Thats hurt!"

Cate rub his head to sooth the pain

"Come on brother, take this as a compliment because you sandwich us too good for my taste buds"

"Spare me with that!"

Wait they are sibling! That is a unexpected discovery!

"Cate, enough"

Teacher gets serious instantaneously and Cate is looked like a puppy with parent right now

"Sorry..."

"Cate"

"Yes"

Cate is really submissive when teacher is serious, yeah not gonna blame her and I will also get submissive if that gaze is staring in my soul

"I want you to escort Viktor to the dormitory

Cate suddenly flinched and he looked at me

"S-Sherwood?! Why are you here?"

She doesn't see my presence huh? Disappointed but not surprised

"Your number is 21 right Cate?"

"Yes, I think.."

"Now Cate, escord mister Sherwood here and I will forget that you eat my sandwich"

And he gaze Cate again

"Okay! Let's go Sherwood"

Out of the sudden, Cate grab my arm and she drag me out of the cafeteria. 

"See you in the afternoon Viktor!"

I heard teacher is calling me but I cannot turn because Cate is still dragging me. Cate is going fast and If this keep this up, I will lose my balance so I ask her to slow down

"Cate, can we slow down a bit?"

She stop and she looked at me, she flinch that she almost fell down

"Oh sorry Viktor, I was just scared of my brother"

"I understand you"

Cate face went down on the ground. As I looked on more on him, I notice that he have a blue eyes and.also a very silky white hair that is same as his brother and she is quite innocently cute

"Would you not stare me like that, it makes me a little bit uncomfortable.."

My eye immediately go on the different direction

"Oh, sorry"

"It's alright"

An awkward silence immediately follows so I break the ice

"So, can you show where is my dormitory"

"Ah! Yes, let's go"

Cate quick walk on the halls and I followed her. A couple of minutes past, we are now on the dormitory house. Cate entered and I followed her again

"I guess this is your room"

She pointed on the door that have "22" marks on it

"Thank you"

I grab the door knob but my mind is telling me that I need to talk to Cate so I followed my instinct

"Hey Cate"

"Yes?"

"If you want to talk about my parents or something, just call me anytime. Abigail said that you are a fan of my parents right"

Ah crap, my sentence is so wrong that I look like I am bragging

"...okay then, can I ask maybe right now?"

"Sure"

I don't have stuff to do so I agreed to her request

Well she asked a lot of questions mostly about my parents. Her faces is always sparkling when I answer her question until she finally run out of questions.

"Thank you so much Viktor! I have so much learned about The Blue Maiden and the Fiery Warrior! Can we talk about them again next time?"

"Okay"

I really wish that we can talk different topic but I guess if she happy we talked about my parents so I stick with that

Cate go to her room right next door, I also go to my room to unload my stuff.

I scan the room and looks likes it's just a plain room with bed, chair and table on it with a empty bookcase there, that is pretty neat

I put down my back pack and I cast a spell on it

(Open Rift)

Open Rift is a Magic Spell I personally created. To be honest, I didn't how magic work and I just accidentally created it by imagining that my backpack have a different dimensions. It work like a Doraemon pocket and you can store a lot stuff on it

I cast the spell silently to avoid suspicion. I then grab inside backpack and I take my book, staff, my favourite pillow and blanket and some cupcakes that father make. Yes, he bake cupcake and other bread too but she secretly hide his hobbies because the people see her as a fierce warrior not a baker

I take a bite on the cupcake and it very tasty. Okay let's put this in order. I put every of my book in the empty books case and I hide my staff under my bed. I also put the pillow and my blanket in the bed

Alright it's all set, now lets get my school booklet and review what going to happen in the after noon. A couple of hours later and I The bell rang. I take a little nap for an hour to replenish my brain

I tidy myself and I grasp the door knob because we are on the adventure... But on school

I opened my and I quickly walk on my lecture room, well that was the plan but I fell down because I trip on something

"Aw! What the..."

I look were I trip and I see something horrible. It was Lucas and he is unconscious in the floor. I quick go into him and I tried to wake him up

"Lucas! Wake up!"

I tried to wake him but there is no response.

"Wake up!"

"alright, here we go"

Viktor, Son of the one who defeats a lots of demon Lord and now he will now go on the Ascheim Institute of Magic and Sword Academy to sharpen his intellect and improve his sword skill but a boundaries is blocking him. he have a special magic affinity called Void which powerful and his parent tell him to not use his power until he is 18.now adventure awaits on him,but in the academy.

Elsewhere, with Book of Sage Immortal's participation, the Office of Strategic Deception's offense went more smoothly than expected. Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had perfectly suppressed the two imposters with the Royal Scepter which Odd Zhuo had discovered in the birthday gift boxes, but their lips were sealed tight, and so far they had refused to say a single word.
"We have no other choice." Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal shook the scepter and furrowed his brow. "Someone, torture them!"
"Senior Immortal… are we really going to torture them… Isn't that a bit inhuman?"
At that moment, it was as if Judge Bao had possessed Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal. "Since these two imposters are so stubborn, we need to torture them! Someone, remove his purple and gold crown and strip him of the imperial robe[1]!"
"Senior Immortal, it seems our sect doesn't have a dragon head guillotine[2]…"
"Who said we'd be using a dragon head guillotine?" Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal shook the scepter. "Someone! Put headphones on them and play Irascible Dharmaraja's song! Tie them up and place them in front of the screen, and replay that basketball video[3] ten thousand times!"
"Too cruel…" Everyone couldn't help sighing.
…Listen, would a human say that?!
"Ai, who knows if these two will be able to take such torture."
In Wang Ling's bedroom at the Wang family's small villa, Odd Zhuo couldn't help sighing ruefully at the scene being played by Book of Sage Immortal. But things had already come to this point, and it wasn't possible for him to intercede on behalf of these two imposters; to sympathize with the enemy was to be cruel to yourself.
"According to my calculations, there's a 32% chance that the two imposters will surrender and confess under torture."
Book of Sage Immortal said, "However, there is also a 68% chance that the two will choose to surrender if Teacher Wang Jiao is involved."
"Senior Wang? Didn't they go back to their hometown?"
"Mr Wang did indeed go back, but not just to honor his ancestors." Book of Sage Immortal didn't say anything else after that.
But Odd Zhuo heard the implication in its words.
Although he didn't know why Father Wang had gone back, it was clear to him that it was for something momentous.
As expected, shifu's family wasn't ordinary.
... 
As Book of Sage Immortal said, Father Wang had indeed returned to his hometown.
The Wang family's ancestral home was a sea village which actually wasn't far from Songhai city. As a village by the sea, it was the most abundant in seafood and sea salt oranges. There was an orange orchard at Old Man Wang's place, which he usually attended to himself. However, since his stay at the Wang family's small villa was a little longer this time, he had gotten someone else to watch the orchard.
For Old Man Wang, his retirement was quite cozy — his children all had their own jobs and were living well, and he had grandchildren. As an old man, he had practically no regrets.
The only one he had was that he had no partner to grow old with him.
Wang Ling's grandmother had died early, before Wang Ling was born, and he had only heard about his grandparents' love story from his dad. He didn't know whether there were parts of it that were exaggerated, but his grandparents' feelings were absolutely an example for young people.
Looking at what happened with Old Man Wang and Teacher Pan previously, Old Man Wang had been a Casanova when he was younger — he had dated countless girls, but in the end, he chose his most beloved person to spend his life with, and that was Wang Ling's grandmother.
Wang Ling had always been deeply curious about his grandma since young.
But there was a limit to how much he knew of her.
To not be too nosy about one's elders was the most basic courtesy that a junior could extend to them, so Wang Ling wouldn't deliberately search out information on his grandma.
Old Man Wang was a "lord" in the sea village — this didn't mean that he was a tyrant, but that he was popular and respected by the villagers. As a young man, he had once served as the sea village's keeper of records. This was a high-ranking position in the village, and Old Man Wang had been able to assume this position despite his low realm purely because of how popular he was.
And electing Old Man Wang indeed proved to be a smart decision.
During his time in office, the sea village opened a market in every city which showcased the various types of dishes which Old Man Wang developed using sea salt oranges. Taking advantage of its geographical location, the sea salt oranges which the village exported were very sweet and large, and were a hit in the cultivation farmer's markets.
So, how popular were the sea salt oranges exported by the sea village in those days?
All kinds of people who saw the sea village's orange sellers on any train platform would go so far as to risk being hit by the immortal sword express as they crossed the tracks to buy the oranges[4]… 
Even to this day, the sea salt oranges exported by the sea village still took up a large share of the market, making the sea village one of the ten most affluent villages in Huaxiu nation.
When Old Man Wang retired afterward, he dove wholeheartedly into the culinary arts, a field he had always been the most interested in since young, and continued to develop new dishes all these years.
Although he didn't have a partner to accompany him, he actually didn't feel lonely in the village. His neighbors Old Second Wu and Old Liang were his mahjong partners, and they would play mahjong together whenever they were free. Conversely, the reason why Old Man Wang decided to stay at the Wang family's small villa was because he was too popular.
If someone had to be blamed, it would be the old women who drooled over Old Man Wang for so long… They would come over every now and then to nag him about taking care of himself, which he found a little unbearable — the village had even once arranged a matchmaking meet exclusively for him.
Sheep stopped one hundred meters from the village entrance, and Father Wang and the others got off.
Until now, Father Wang was actually still skeptical about the matchmaking issue. "Dad, was it really as exaggerated as you say?"
"You've never experienced it, of course you wouldn't understand." Old Man Wang still felt some lingering fear whenever he thought of the matchmaking interviews which the village had arranged for him.
The point was that he couldn't lose his temper in front of the villagers!
They meant well. On top of that, he usually gave the impression of being an affable person in the village — how could he get angry? Furthermore, even if Old Man Wang lost his temper, it wouldn't seem like it, given his temperament; instead, it looked more like he was throwing a tantrum… 
After hiding out at the Wang family's small villa for half a year this time, Old Man Wang felt sure that the matchmaking interviews which the village had arranged for him should have already been shelved, which was why he was only brave enough now to come back for a visit with Father and Mother Wang.
In the end, they had just gotten off a hundred meters from the village entrance —
Father and Mother Wang were just about to help Old Man Wang off, when a broadcast rang out in the village.
"Attention, comrades! Old Wang has returned to the village! He's one hundred meters outside the village entrance! Let us respectfully welcome Old Wang back!"
The voice resounded loudly throughout the sea village.
Old Man Wang was so frightened, he almost fell off the tricycle…

As a cultivation genius who has achieved a new realm every two years since he was a year old, Wang Ling is a near-invincible existence with prowess far beyond his control. But now that he’s sixteen, he faces his greatest battle yet - Senior High School. With one challenge after another popping up, his plans for a low-key high school life seem further and further away...
Wang Ling: I just want to eat my crispy noodle snacks in peace...
Father Wang: If you're careless enough to destroy the country, it’s coming out of your pocket money. 
Wang Ling: It’s not my fault that the backlash from punching me kills you.

In a room with 10 bunk beds, a young man slowly wakes up.

As he sat on the bed, he watched his surroundings in confusion, and then remembered what had happened.

In the past, he was Rafael Nascimento, a fat young man, a very common sedentary, he loved animals, lying all day, pounding every day, and so on.

And as he pummeled with certain material, from the window he'd forgotten open, a stray bullet came, and struck him in his chest.

And with the dick out, Rafael died!

(Lich: Excuse all those who call Rafael if they are offended!)

Just remembering this, he feels a lot of shame, but what happened next was the best thing he could dream of, reincarnation!

He was allowed a new life, with powerful abilities that he himself chose!

With that in mind, he looked at his little child's hands, and thought of the word, Status.

Seeing his status, and seeing that nothing was different than he expected, and there was even a Blessing, Jason was very happy.

He then stood, but immediately sat down, for he felt memories come into his mind.

The memories themselves were not memories, they were just information about the System Features in your body, as well as simple information about your everyday life.

Jason was found at the door of the Orphanage by one of the Sisters, who immediately welcomed him, named him Jason, for it was a very common human name, and reminded him of his first love.

(Lich: Take the machetes out of his sight, we do not want a second immortal monster!)

And for 9 years, Jason was fondly created by the sisters, even though most of them are Beastkins, there is no discrimination between races, as there are hundreds of different Tribes in the Kingdom, the Wolves, Tigers, Bears, Pandas, Foxes, Rabbits and etc.!

The only thing you are discriminated against, is if you are very weak!

If you are too weak, so weak that you can not do anything, so weak that your Level limit is Deadly Level 10, you will be discriminated against, and you will not even be able to enter the army, which only accepts those with Deadly Level, Level +20.

Well, from the information in your mind, every 100 Levels, it's a Rating, then Mortal, comes Warrior, Level 101 to 200, then Master and so on.

Normally, at the age of 12, someone will receive their Forced Awakening, which is used as an Awakening Crystal in children, and then their Level Limit will be shown for all to see.

Jason upon awakening, it was shown that he could reach Level 70 of the Mortal Rank, this was considered good, as only those very unlucky ones will have Level Limit below 20!

Ordinary people will have 21 ~ 50, above the average 51 ~ 100, and above 100, would be the geniuses.

For many, Jason is only considered above average, and if he were to join the army, he could at most reach the rank of Captain.

Of course, this is not your case, since previously, everything was just a lie, your level cap, did not really exist, so he could rest easy.

Without saying that in the Kingdom of the Beastkins, the entrance of Humans into the Army is not allowed, and that is very understandable, since they are a Kingdom of Beastkins and not human.

So even if he wanted to, Jason could not join the army, but he's not worried about it now, since he could join the Order of the Rider, who accepts anyone, or even join the Adventurers Guild, which is very open for anyone to join, and you do not have to pay anything if you are in Rank 1, but if you reach Rank 2, you will need to pay 1 Silver Coin to remain a Registered Adventurer in the Guild.

...

As Jason thought, the door was opened, and a Beastkin, with Cat's head, hairy body, and wearing a white dress entered.

She looked at Jason and said.

Cate: "Jason, let's eat, it's time!"

Hearing this, Jason smiled, nodded, and followed.

And in the process, he looked at her with more curiosity, and even a little desire.

Even being a Beastkin, does not change an important fact, Jason, or would be Rafael, is a fanatic by monsters, he always dreamed of having sex with any monster, humanoid of course, in fact, he would have sex with anything humanoid, and that be a woman, but it has its limits as well.

Cate did not feel the perverted looks of Jason, and just thought there was something on his face, and asked if he had, and Jason just smiled and said she was more beautiful today.

Listening to Jason praising her, Cate laughed and patted his head as he said it.

Cate: "You're growing up and you're learning to give up on women, I bet when you grow up, you'll be a womanizer!"

Jason just smiled, and soon they reached the refectory, where there was given the food, Beef Soup with Vegetables and Bread!

After eating, playing with some friends, Jason went to Cate, and said he wanted to learn how to fight with a sword.

Hearing Jason, Cate agreed, for Jason had what was needed, and then told him to go see Sister Jaix, who was a former instructor in the Adventurers' Guild, who retired and began caring for children in the Orphanage, and she sometimes taught children aged 12 and over, fencing.

Manager Sam then can't find any of her words to slap on Sassy anymore. 

All she can do now is to be in silent and pray for satan. Pray that  her boss will know all of this later on so that this Sassy will have Her punishment for what she did just now. 


You wait Sassy... My boss will ruin you more later on!


Sassy didn't pay any attention over Sam anymore as she faced Mr. Shawn instead to have a deal. 

"Mr. Shawn I have my proves, you can check them out if you only agree with me"


Mr. Shawn as expected nodded as an agreement already and the men took Sam away from the sala already so that they can give her punishment at last. 


"what punishment are they going to do with Manager Sam?" Mr. Shawn curiously asked them. 


Valentino then answered him "well we're just going to put her in our head quarter's jail so that she wasn't able anymore to ruin Sassy's image." 


Mr. Shawn then nodded in understanding. He breathed peacefully knowing that they're not really going to kill her.


"So Mr. Shawn, do we have a deal?" Sassy then initiated a shake hands, so he grabbed it and "yes Ms. Sassy." 


I can see, Sassy was just ruined. In fact I'm not a one sided person so I will be listening to this lady as long as she's going to tell the truth... 


Well Mr. Shawn is not a one sided person. He seek for other's point of views. It just happened that day when he met Sassy Personally as his model? He doesn't have any profile of  her but her famous profile "A stainful & scandalous model in U.S" that was Manager Sam given to him.

Vince woke up as early as he had planned to cook a breakfast for his Sweetheart the next morning. He got also a call from the woman again from yesterday who ordered him to take Donita at her first day being the CEO of the S & T Shipping Company.


He cooked hearty eggs, bacons, and also garnished apples and cabbages and friedrice with shredded white crop and a hot chocolate for her and a bruide coffee for him. 


So sweet, is he the husband now? Hehe... 


Donita were still yawning when she reached the kitchen. By the way they don't share bedrooms. Vince's apartment is the most luxurious and big among rooms inside that hotel, as it consist of 3 bedrooms with bathrooms, 1 big kitchen, Entertainment room and a sala(Filipino term for Visitor's place in the house) indeed. And it was located at the top floor of the hotel. The fact that, that hotel 'G luxury Hotel' were owned by Vince also by the way. 


"good morning Sweetheart!" Vince greet her and was about to kiss her when she stopped him "no... no... no..." with her hands on his chest. 


"but why?" Vince frowned.


"why? Oh let me recall, I forgot Cate, where's Cate? You promised me that I'm gonna see her again at last hmp!" she stubbornly recalled. 


And Vince can only react on her is "tss silly..." then he is going to hug her already when she stopped him again. 


"ok stop stopping me now Sweetheart, see I've cooked breakfast for us. Can we eat first? Then I'll tell you later what you wanna know when we're heading the company already"


"sigh... ok." then she let him lead her to her sit already. 


While Vince noticed her irritated self this day, he find it unusual that led him to voice out loudly what is in his mind "you're so moody this day, so unusual..."
"what? Sigh..." She heard him and it gave her more the erge to be irritated. Then she realized...ugh! Why am I like this? 


Then she heard Vince sighed.


"ok I'm sorry, maybe... it's beacuse My period hadn't yet arrived, that's why..." then she boringly pick her fork to get some eggs but Vince put some already. 
"oh I see, I understand" Vince told her with his smiling face again. 


"thanks for understanding" she then smiled too as his smile were though encouraging. 


"But don't forget to call me Sweetheart, or else..." then he kissed her suddenly. 


Ugh! Vince you're too sweet! 


On the way to the S & T Shipping Company... 


Vince decided to give her the safest answer that he could tell her about Cate. 

"Well unfortunately, Cate has something to do in the other country about the other branches of the company. So she's not able yet make you see her by now " he explained. 


Donita nodded and "Well I hope she's all fine, how about the company? Why did she placed me as the CEO? You know she must be at least introduced as the true CEO before leaving the country"


Well Donita has a  point but. 

Vince didn't expect her to ask about that. He then find another safest answer. 


"Well you'll know someday Sweetheart, just follow as what they say, don't spoil the story"

"Ok Dana we'll just inform you later on if you're qualified" his friend finally ended the session. 


"Ok then, I'll be heading now" the woman named Dana spoke flirtatiously...


When the woman already gone, Air immediately thrown everything that is on the table, all documents! 


"oops relax bro!" his bestfriend Gio spoke. 


"take all that bull***t documents out of my sight" he spoke with his mad voice and cold eyes. 


"ok ok... I'll be going already too, you're too err I can't take this anymore" then Gio got those documents and walked out of his place as fast as he can already. 
A minute later... 


A slow knock on the door broke the silence, it made Air's mood got more pissed. He's too tired this day already in everything. And now someone's trying to visit him? 


"Bull***t!" he cursed same time when he opened the door with disgust. 


"ah A-Air--Oh sorry M-Mr. Timenez... " the lady spoke while carrying a medium box.


"..." he doesn't like to speak so the lady spoke hurriedly even though she's too nervous already.


"Ah M-Mr. Timenez, I-I'm just going T-to give you t-this p-personally!" and then she let out a smile with her heart. 


But Air isn't really willing to make fun this time, even with this neighbor of him he got more pissed...So


The Lady's eyes got wide when she suddenly saw his smile! Yes Air smiled! And the next was he got the medium box which contains...


"Ah that, that's all cookies I've made it with all my heart just for you! Hmm i-I'm actually the one who's giving you some of that since last 3 years. And am... Am... I-"


But she stopped when He suddenly smiled differently, well it's already different smile from the start actually.


"and you like me... Am I right?" there he hit the right words! 


"Y-yes! Actually... It's been 3 years already and I'm graduated now. So I'm hoping... Hoping that-"


Then He cut her and "hoping to make me choose you other than those woman... Am I right, again?" he's still smiling but differently, really! 


Then the lady spoke in an excited manner "yes! Can I? I-I love you!" there! she let her final words got off from her tongue! At last She had confessed already after that long 3 years of keeping! 


Plus She didn't even expected that he's really giving her his time. It's really something she should celebrate later on! ... But then..


"hmm this cookies might be so delicious!" he complimented but then the next he did was 


DUG! SCRATCH! 


"m-my cookies!!" she immediately chase her scattered cookies at the floor and look at him "w-why... A-Air... This--"


"That? Oh... I'm clumsy sometimes so it got there" She suddenly stopped her tears and gave him her sweet smile and "oh I see... It's ok I can make another one--"
But 


"I'm not stupid. You're asking me if I can just choose you rather than those woman, right? Oh I'm afraid, you love me? I'm sorry I don't feel the same in fact I don't even like you" he spoke straightly without considering her feelings.


"But--"


"Why? It's simple, you're not like them. You're too ugly, nothing to show off, nothing, NOTHING like an empty box. You got it? So stop disturbing me, anymore..."


Then he ended the conversation and even stepped one of the cookies near him and broke it before living the lady so miserable there with her tears like rain already. 


"what?... H-he doesn't even liked m-me?... B-because I-I'm not like t-them?" 


She's so miserable! That Air is--


"you're so ruthless... I should have realized it from the start... " and she grabbed all the cookies and she smiled bitterly and spoke... 


"I promise... He'll... Eat all of you, someday... And... He'll regret!" 


WHAT?! Who's this tough lady? She sounds like wanna take some revenge! Wasn't she aware? We're talking about Air here. 


The Mr. Tycoon-Villion Air Timenez! 


Let's run up our imaginations and find what will happen then...

Chu Yang was left confused that night. Heavenly Armament Pavilion's first day of opening had attracted such a grand crowd of onlookers. Of these onlookers, there were many martial artists and affluent people with pompous appearance, who were most certainly members of some large families in the city.
How could these people have been able to withhold their curiosity and not be interested to enter for a look?
It is noteworthy that one could raise his combat ability by at least one level with a sharp divine weapon in hand, whether he was walking in the Jiang Hu or fighting in the battleground. Thus, it only made sense that all martial artists had dreams of being within reach of such a treasure.
Being in possession of a divine weapon meant that one's qualities would be far superior to that of any other ordinary weapon. It was essentially equivalent to having an extra life!
Did this not warrant more curiosity and attraction from the crowd?
Whether it was a martial family or the military, shouldn't such a weapon be enough to attract them?
Chu Yang was perplexed and could not figure out the sorcery behind it all. He thought, "As far as I know, once Iron Cloud Nation heard of the weapons, they should have come storming in regardless of the truth. But how peculiar was it that nobody actually cared. Did I remember wrongly?"
On day 2, there were still onlookers staring at his stop in wonder. However, there was a decline in the number of onlookers and no one had entered the shop through the doors. In comparison to the first day, at least there was a trio of gangsters that had tried to stir trouble.
On day 3, there were fewer onlookers. Chu Yang became depressed. It didn't matter to him if anyone had made a purchase, but it would have made him feel better if a few people at least entered to have a look around his shop. Was none of the people in the city, which numbered in the millions, curious enough to view his shop? Ultimately, what kind of sorcery was this?
On that night, there was finally something different.
After having his dinner, Chu Yang was reading the book 'Immortal Medicine' that Du Shi Qing had given to him. Upon opening the front page, there was an opening phrase: 'In this world, who can avoid death? No one. Therefore, doctors may only heal non-life threatening diseases. However, what defines a non-life threatening disease? I humbly believe that non-life threatening diseases are ones that are inflicted by external forces and cause bodily pain.'
'As for terminal illnesses, their lives are dependent on destiny.'
As he read along, Chu Yang was disturbed. The meaning of these words was clear: Any injury or illness could be cured so long as one was not old to the point of burning out the last bit of gas in his tank. Of course, this was only in theory. However, this sounded really exalted.
Bang bang!
Someone was knocking on his door.
Chu Yang was just getting immersed in the book and asked impatiently, "Who is it?"
"I heard that there are divine weapons for sale here, thus I've come specially to have a look." a tired voice came from outside.
Chu Yang's heart skipped a bit. The voice had a hint of a pompous persona and appeared to disregard anyone else, though it sounded distraught.
Only people who have become used to living with wealth could have such a voice.
Furthermore, he sounded really young.
Chu Yang closed the book and opened the door. Right in front of him was a youth in silk clothes standing at his door. His face was calm but tired. There appeared to be an unsolvable light of melancholy from his eyebrows. The youth maintained his expression even after Chu Yang had opened the door.
The youth's clothes proved his affluent status. However, he appeared to have come from afar without any rest since his clothes were covered with dust. How could one appear to be so pitiful, in contrast to his haughty voice?
Suddenly, the youth's stomach let out a growl and it appeared to be from hunger. The youth maintained his facial expression and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
An isolated glow of light came on as a lamp was lit.
"Please have a seat." Chu Yang could tell that the youth was definitely the child of an affluent and large family from his behaviour and aura.
This was particularly because the aura of the upper class was something that the regular officials' families were lacking in.
Large rich families typically produce spoilt kids, yet at the same time, geniuses tended to be groomed from these families as well. This was due to their initial starting position being way ahead of the typical masses.
Chu Yang was sceptical. Why would a beloved child of a large family be out at midnight? There was not even a single guard following him as well. Further, why did he appear to be so distraught?
The youth showed a faint smile and took a few steps into the shop after checking out the insides. He sat opposite Chu Yang and asked, "What is elder martial brother's name?"
"Are you here to buy weapons or make friends?" Chu Yang smiled and asked as he looked up.
"Good!" The youth gazed at him for a moment, before speaking gently. He then took off a sword from his waist and placed it on the table. He gazed at the sword unbearably for a moment and pushed it to Chu Yang, "Since brother specializes in selling divine weapons, do you mind taking a look at my sword?"
Chu Yang was left speechless. He had opened his shop to sell weapons but to no avail for three days. Finally, a customer had come in the middle of the night. But to his dismay, he was actually trying to sell Chu Yang his weapon! It appeared that he was in the same business. Chu Yang felt that he was really down on luck.
He thought for a while before reaching out for the sword. He had nothing to do and was idling anyway.
The sword felt heavy in his hands and Chu Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Good sword!"
"Brother, how can you tell that this is a good sword without even pulling it out?" said the youth who was dressed in gold clothes. His every behaviour were gentle and indicative of his good family upbringing, though his clothes were covered in filth.
"Common long swords are typically 3 feet in length, with a scabbard it would be 3 feet and 3 inches. However, your sword is 3 feet and 5 inches in total." Chu Yang gazed at the sword and said, "An inch longer is an inch longer for experts of the sword. This is specific only to swords and no other weapons. Those who believe that this rule applies to all weapons are mistaken because the sword is a gentle killer. It is long but not firm, otherwise, it would be brittle and easy to break. Therefore, a short sword is easier to create while a long sword is difficult to craft. A sword like yours must have been difficult to make since it is much longer than the common long sword. Judging from the scabbard and hilt which are old and unadorned with a faint blood aura, coupled with the fact that it remains the same though it has been through many years and experienced many kills, this must be a really good sword!"
"Well said!" laughed the youth, with appreciation in his laughter. "Brother is indeed a person who knows swords well!"
"Also, a regular longsword weighs at around 6 to 9 pounds, while the ideal heavy swords weigh in at 7.7 pounds. It would be hard to tell if it were mixed with other specific metals." Chu Yang smiled lightly.
"However, your sword has already exceeded thirty pounds." Chu Yang claimed, "A sword that does not change shape despite its weight is most definitely a good sword!"
The youth's eyes began to show greater appreciation.
Chu Yang's wrist turned. With a clang, the longsword exited the scabbard, as if it were a groaning dragon and a hissing tiger. A ray of light spread throughout the room immediately as the lamp's light was reflected upon the sword and became thousands of rays, lighting up the entire house in magnificence!
"Good sword!" Chu Yang praised as he inspected it carefully. As he proceeded, he sang more praises for the sword.
Blade as still as autumn water. Yet it appeared to be constantly shaking when still.
"Observing a beauty underneath the light is a great joy in life. However, seeing a sword underneath the light is actually the greatest blessing for those who know swords." the youth sighed. "The sword has a spirit and a heart within. The killings of Jiang Hu could be seen by looking at a sword! A famed sword is like clear autumn water. The sounds of groaning dragons and hissing tigers bring to one's mind an image of armoured cavalry stomping through Jiang Hu!"
"Yes." Chu Yang sighed, "To look at a sword is to look at Jiang Hu." He raised his head and faced the youth. "However, you and I have never met before. Your intention of coming here today is not to let me take a look at this sword to feel a bit of Jiang Hu."
As he spoke, the lights from the sword flashed. Without looking, Chu Yang returned the long sword to its scabbard, as if the blade had its own eyes.
"You are indeed an expert with swords." The youth said, smiling. "I am obviously not here just to let you view my sword. I wanted to find someone who loves swords."
His eyes flashed a pained look. "Ever since I left home, I didn't have a single penny on hand. All of the items which I had have been sold to save this sword throughout my journey of eight thousand miles to get here."
The youth looked at Chu Yang, "Brother, all I need is a hundred and twenty gold. I will leave my sword here as collateral. I will come back with ten thousand gold to retrieve my sword back."
Chu Yang fell into silence and was getting doubtful.
One only needed to look at this sword to tell that this sword was priceless. It was more than sufficient to put it as collateral for one hundred and twenty gold. Nevertheless, he could not fathom how such a good opportune would find its way to him.


Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!”

After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed.

However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.

Manajer Cate sudah mengetahui peringatan tersebut, tetapi Cate masih tidak sadar.
Lagi pula, manajer Cate melihat tumpukan portofolio aktris di meja Qiao Sen ketika dia memasuki kantornya dan jelas bahwa Qiao Sen telah melihat semua itu. Sepertinya, dia sedang serius mempertimbangkan pilihan untuk mengganti Cate.
Sang manajer ingin menenangkan Qiao Sen, tetapi syarat Qiao Sen untuknya adalah mencegah Cate bertindak sembrono.
Karena ini, sang manajer berakhir memberikan sebuah jam tangan bermerek pada Qiao Sen. Tetapi, Qiao Sen segera mengembalikannya tanpa membukanya.
Tentu saja, Qiao Sen telah menghubungi Tangning untuk membahas masalah ini, tetapi mereka berdua memiliki pendapat yang berbeda mengenai aktris mana yang harus dipilih. Jadi, mereka tidak bisa menemukan aktris yang cocok pada akhirnya.
"Mari berikan Cate kesempatan lain. Karena kita sudah syuting begitu banyak, sayang untuk merelakannya sekarang."
"Aku seharusnya mendengarmu dari awal dan tidak mempekerjakan seorang aktris dari luar negeri. Aku hanya membawa penderitaanku sendiri."
Tangning tidak menjawab. Lebih tepatnya, perhatiannya saat ini sedang berada di acara anak-anak yang sedang diputar di televisi di hadapan Mo Zichen.
Berandal kecil tersebut terpesona dengan layar televisi saat dia memegang remote tv di tangannya. Namun, dia bahkan jelas belum bisa berjalan dengan benar.
Kemudian, Tangning menutup telepon dan fokus pada gambar di televisi ….
Dari kedua bersaudara tersebut, Mo Zixi senang tidur, tetapi dia juga ceria dan aktif. Mo Zichen, di sisi lain, seperti seorang pria tua. Tidak peduli apa yang dilakukannya, dia mirip seperti orang dewasa kecil dan sangat tertarik untuk mengamati. Maka dari itu, Zixi terlihat seperti seorang anak, sedangkan Zichen terlihat lebih tua dari usianya. Begini terus, Tangning memprediksi bahwa berandal kecil tersebut akan berakhir lebih cerdas darinya dan Mo Ting.
…
Sementara itu, di pintu masuk dari stasiun televisi tertentu.
Xia Hanmo dan Lin Qian melangkah keluar dari studio dan mengetahui sedang hujan di luar. Jadi, sementara Lin Qian berlari mengambil mobil, Zhou Qing mendekati Xia Hanmo dari belakang.
"Hanmo."
"Zhou Ge?" Xia Hanmo melihat Zhou Qing dengan bingung.
"Aku tahu kamu memiliki hubungan yang baik dengan Lin Qian, tetapi ada beberapa hal yang aku tidak yakin apakah aku harus mengatakannya. Aku hanya ingin memberi saran padamu; aku tidak bermaksud apa-apa."
Xia Hanmo sedikit terkejut, tetapi dia menjawab dengan sopan, "Silakan."
"Aku mengakui kemampuan Lin Qian. Ditambah lagi, aku tahu dia memperlakukanmu dengan sangat baik. Tetapi, aku percaya bahwa latar belakangnya sedikit rumit. Bagaimanapun, pacarnya berada di militer. Jika dia menikah suatu hari, dia kemungkinan akan menempatkan seluruh fokusnya pada keluarganya. Jadi, aku rasa kamu perlu mulai mempersiapkan dirimu untuk kemungkinan itu dan mencari asisten serta manajer yang cocok."
"Meskipun aku yakin Tangning akan mempunyai pengaturannya, aku percaya bahwa keperluanmu adalah prioritas utama."
Setelah mendengar nasihat Zhou Qing, Xia Hanmo menganggukkan kepalanya, "Terima kasih atas sarannya Zhou Ge, tetapi aku rasa tidak perlu untuk saat ini."
"Iya, aku hanya mempersiapkan dirimu untuk kemungkinan tersebut," Zhou Qing tersenyum.
Segera, Lin Qian tiba dengan mobil dan asisten Zhou Qing juga menghentikan mobilnya di hadapan kedua orang tersebut. Mereka masing-masing menaiki mobil mereka dan kembali ke rumah masing-masing. Tetapi, Xia Hanmo merasa sedikit tidak nyaman. Meskipun Zhou Qing hanya memberikan saran, Xia Hanmo tidak bisa menerima kemungkinan jika Lin Qian meninggalkan sisinya.
Jadi, ketika dalam perjalanan pulang, Xia Hanmo mau tidak mau bertanya pada Lin Qian, "Kapan kamu berencana untuk menikah?"
"Aku belum mempertimbangkannya," Lin Qian menjawab.
Xia Hanmo secara diam-diam menghela napas lega. Selama bukan dalam waktu dekat. Jadi, masalah yang dibicarakan Zhou Qing, dia akan mempertimbangkannya lagi ketika waktunya tiba.
…
Cate menginginkan Mo Ting, jadi dia tidak memiliki pilihan lain melainkan berusaha mendapatkan kontak fisik dengannya. Tetapi, pada saat ini, banyak dari seluruh kru tahu bahwa dia tertarik pada Mo Ting.
Namun, para kru lega melihat Mo Ting tidak pernah sekali pun melirik Cate; yang merupakan penggemar Pasangan Mo tersebut tidak perlu khawatir.
"Cate ini sungguh murahan hingga dia tidak melepaskan kesempatan apa pun."
"Presiden Mo milik Tangning. Aku harap wanita ini bisa mengendalikan dirinya sendiri."
"Aku benaran benci aktor dari luar negeri. Mereka mungkin bagus dalam akting, tetapi hubungan mereka terlalu berantakan."
"Tunggu dan lihat. Cate pasti akan mempermalukan dirinya sendiri."
Ketika para karyawan berkumpul bersama membahas Cate, manajer Cate secara natural mendengar percakapan mereka. Hal-hal sudah sulit untuk mereka tetapkan, namun Cate tidak tahu bagaimana cara menahan dirinya.
Beberapa saat kemudian, Cate meminta anggota karyawan untuk mengambilkan air padanya. Namun, setelah dia meneguknya, dia langsung meludahkannya kembali dan memiringkan gelas tersebut ke lantai; itu terlalu panas.
"Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan? Apa kamu berusaha membakar aku?"
Asisten kecil lokasi tersebut merasa dirugikan. Terutama karena melayani aktris ini tidak pernah menjadi bagian dari deskripsi pekerjaan sejak awal.
Tetapi, agar tidak menyinggung wanita tersebut, dia mengambil gelas tersebut dan pergi mengambil minuman lagi. Namun, kali ini, Cate mengeluh bahwa dia tidak menaruh gula di dalamnya.
Asisten lokasi tersebut tidak bisa tahan lagi dan bergumam beberapa kata dalam napasnya. Namun, Cate mendengar apa yang dikatakannya. Meskipun Cate tidak mengerti bahasa Cina, dia masih bisa mengetahui bahwa asisten tersebut sedang mengeluh. Jadi, dia bertanya pada manajernya, "Apa yang barusan dikatakannya?"
"Dia mengatakan bahwa kamu tidak sebanding dengan Tangning," manajernya menjawab dengan lugas.
"Jika Tangning begitu hebat, lalu mengapa kalian tidak mempekerjakannya? Aku yakin kalian bisa menyokongnya tidak peduli dirinya seburuk pel*cur."
Asisten lokasi tidak mengerti bahasa Inggris, jadi dia hanya merasa semakin frustrasi. Melihat ini, Cate tertawa dan menuangkan air di gelas ke kepala asisten tersebut, "Tangning adalah pel*cur buruk, seorang pel*cur buruk!"
Sang manajer membiarkan Cate mengatakan kata-kata ini karena dia tahu bahwa tidak ada orang di sana. Tetapi, dia tidak menyangka bahwa kata-kata itu akan terdengar hingga ke telinga Mo Ting.
Bagaimanapun, asisten lokasi telah ditindas, jadi dia secara alami mengeluh pada Qiao Sen. Meskipun dia tidak mengerti bahasa Inggris, dia mengingat kata terakhir Cate dan mengulangnya pada Qiao Sen.
Setelah Qiao Sen mendengar ini, wajahnya berubah merah marah. Hal yang paling buruk adalah Mo Ting sedang berdiri tepat di belakang mereka.
"Presiden Mo …."
Mo Ting tidak mengatakan apa pun saat dia memelototi Cate, yang berada di kejauhan, dan berjalan ke arahnya.
Qiao Sen dan asisten lokasi segera mengikuti dari belakang, bersiap untuk mengatasi badai yang akan segera menyerbu.
Tentu saja, Cate terkejut melihat Mo Ting. Terlebih lagi, kapan Mo Ting pernah mendekatinya sendiri? Jadi, Cate langsung berdiri dari kursinya dan menyapanya dengan senyuman. Namun, Mo Ting hanya berkata padanya, "Segera pergi dan kembali ke Perancis! Jangan biarkan aku melihatmu lagi!"
Ekspresi Cate berubah dingin, bingung dengan permintaan Mo Ting.
"Kenapa?"
"Shuuu," kata Mo Ting dengan dingin sambil berbalik pada manajer Cate, "Jika kamu cerdas, kamu akan memberi tahu agensimu untuk merelakan Cate. Jika tidak, aku akan membuat agensimu menderita."
Sang manajer tidak bergerak. Lebih tepatnya, dia tidak tahu bagaimana harus bereaksi pada ancaman Mo Ting.
Sang manajer bisa mengetahui bahwa Mo Ting benaran marah.
Jadi, dia tidak memiliki pilihan melainkan melakukan apa yang diberitahukan padanya. Lagi pula, dibanding pada Cate, tidak ada yang berani menyinggung Hai Rui.


Malam sebelum pernikahan, tunangannya kabur bersama wanita simpanannya.
Karena frustasi, ia mendekati pria yang berdiri di depan kantor Catatan Sipil, "Presiden Mo, pengantin wanitamu tidak datang dan pengantin priaku melarikan diri .... Saranku, bagaimana kalau kita menikah saja?"
Sebelum pernikahan, ia berkata, "Bahkan jika kita berbagi ranjang, tidak akan ada hal yang terjadi di antara kita berdua!"
Setelah pernikahan, sang pria mengatakan, "Jika kita tidak mencobanya, bagaimana kita akan tahu?"

Pengurus Cate sudah dapat merasakan bahaya yang menghampiri, tetapi Cate masih tidak sedar.
Lagipun, pengurus Cate sudah ternampak satu timbunan profil pelakon wanita di atas meja Qiao Sen semasa dia masuk ke pejabat lelaki itu dan jelas sekali dia sudah membelek semuanya. Nampaknya, Qiao Sen benar-benar mempertimbangkan pilihan menggantikan Cate.
Pengurus itu mahu menenangkan Qiao Sen, tetapi syarat Qiao Sen untuknya ialah menghalang Cate daripada bertindak semberono.
Kerana ini, pengurus itu akhirnya menghadiahkan Qiao Sen seutas jam tangan berjenama mahal. Tetapi, Qiao Sen memulangkannya tanpa membuka hadiah itu.
Sudah tentu, Qiao Sen sudah menghubungi Tangning untuk membincangkan hal ini, tetapi mereka berdua mempunyai pendapat berbeza tentang pelakon mana untuk dipilih. Jadi, mereka akhirnya tidak dapat memutuskan pelakon yang sesuai.
"Mari beri peluang lain kepada Cate. Memandangkan kita dah rakam banyak babak, rugi kalau putus asa sekarang."
"Saya patut dengar cakap kamu dari awal dan tak gajikan pelakon luar negara. Saya cuma cari masalah sendiri."
Tangning tidak membalas. Setepatnya, perhatiannya kini tertarik pada rancangan kanak-kanak yang bermain di televisyen di hadapan Mo Zichen.
Budak bertuah itu terpukau dengan skrin televisyen ketika dia memegang alat kawalan jauh di tangannya. Tetapi, dia jelas sekali belum boleh berjalan dengan elok.
Kemudian, Tangning meletakkan telefon dan fokus pada imej di televisyen…
Antara dua beradik itu, Mo Zixi suka tidur, tetapi dia juga nakal dan aktif. Mo Zichen pula, seperti orang tua. Tidak kira apa yang dilakukannya, dia kelihatan seperti orang dewasa mini dan sangat menarik untuk diperhatikan. Maka, Zixi kelihatan lebih seperti kanak-kanak manakala Zichen kelihatan lebih tua daripada usianya. Dengan keadaan sekarang, Tangning menjangkakan budak bertuah itu akan menjadi lebih bijak daripada dia dan Mo Ting.
...
Sementara itu, di pintu masuk sebuah stesen televisyen.
Xia Hanmo dan Lin Qian melangkah keluar dari studio, mendapati ia sedang hujan di luar. jadi, ketika Lin Qian berlari mengambil kereta, Zhou Qing mendekati Xia Hanmo dari belakang.
"Hanmo."
"Abang Zhou?" Xia Hanmo memandang Zhou Qing dengan keliru.
"Saya tahu kamu ada hubungan baik dengan Lin Qian, tapi ada sesuatu benda yang saya tak pasti saya patut cakap atau tak. Saya cuma nak beri kamu cadangan. Saya tak bermaksud nak ancam kamu."
Xia Hanmo sedikit terkejut, tetapi dia membalas dengan sopan, "Teruskan."
"Saya iktiraf kemampuan Lin Qian. Tambahan pula, saya tahu dia layan kamu dengan sangat baik. Tapi, saya percaya latar belakang dia sedikit rumit. Lagipun, teman lelaki dia dalam tentera. Kalau dia kahwin nanti, kemungkinan besar dia akan fokus sepenuhnya pada keluarganya. Jadi, saya rasa kamu perlu mula siapkan diri kamu untuk kemungkinan itu dan perhatikan mana-mana pembantu dan pengurus yang sesuai."
"Walaupun saya pasti Tangning ada aturannya sendiri, saya percaya keperluan kamu satu keutamaan."
Selepas mendengar nasihat Zhou Qing, Xia Hanmo menganggukkan kepalanya. "Terima kasih atas cadangan itu Abang Zhou, tapi saya rasa itu tak perlu buat masa sekarang."
"Ya. Saya cuma siapkan kamu untuk kemungkinan." Zhou Qing tersenyum.
Kemudian, Lin Qian tiba dengan kereta dan pembantu Zhou Qing juga memberhentikan keretanya di hadapan mereka berdua. Mereka menaiki kereta masing-masing dan kembali ke rumah masing-masing. Tetapi, Xia Hanmo berasa sedikit tidak selesa. Walaupun Zhou Qing hanya memberi cadangan, Xia Hanmo tidak boleh menerima kemungkinan Lin Qian meninggalkannya.
Jadi, semasa mereka memandu pulang, Xia Hanmo tidak dapat mengelak daripada menyoal Lin Qian, "Bila kamu rancang nak kahwin?"
"Saya belum pertimbangkan lagi." Lin Qian membalas.
Xia Hanmo melepaskan keluhan lega. Janji bukan dalam masa terdekat. Jadi, perkara yang dibangkitkan Zhou Qing, dia perlu pertimbangkan semula apabila masanya tiba.
...
Cate mahukan Mo Ting. Jadi, dia tiada pilihan selain cuba mendapatkan sedikit sentuhan fizikal dengannya. Tetapi, ketika ini, boleh dikatakan seluruh kru sudah tahu dia berminat dengan Mo Ting.
Namun, kru berasa lega melihatkan Mo Ting tidak pernah memandangnya sekalipun. Mereka yang menjadi peminat Pasangan Mo tidak perlu bimbang.
"Si Cate ini sangat murah sampaikan dia tak akan lepaskan sebarang peluang."
"Presiden Mo milik Tangning. Saya harap perempuan ini boleh kawal diri dia."
"Saya betul-betul tak suka pelakon luar negara. Mereka mungkin pandai berlakon, tapi hubungan mereka terlalu kacau bilau."
"Tunggu dan lihat saja. Cate mesti akan malukan diri dia sendiri."
Ketika kakitangan berkumpul bersama untuk membincangkan Cate, pengurus Cate terdengar perbualan mereka. Keadaan sudah cukup sukar di set untuk mereka, tetapi Cate tidak tahu bagaimana mahu menahan dirinya.
Seketika kemudian, Cate meminta seorang kakitangan mengambil segelas air untuknya. Namun, dia meneguk sedikit, meludahnya semula dan menuangkan kandungan gelas itu ke atas lantai. Ia terlalu panas.
"Apa kamu buat? Kamu cuba bakar saya?"
Pembantu set remehan itu berasa seperti dipersalahkan. Terutamanya kerana ia bukan tanggungjawabnya untuk melayan pelakon ini pun.
Tetapi, untuk tidak menyinggung wanita itu, dia mengambil gelas tersebut dan berlalu mengambil segelas air lain. Namun, kali ini, Cate merungut dia langsung tidak meletakkan gula di dalam air itu.
Pembantu set itu tidak boleh bertahan lagi dan menggumam beberapa patah kata, berbisik. Namun, Cate mendengar apa yang dikatakannya. Walaupun dia tidak memahami bahasa Cina, dia tahu pembantu itu merungut. Jadi, dia menyoal pengurusnya, "Apa dia cakap?"
"Dia cakap kamu tak boleh dibandingkan dengan Tangning." Pengurus itu membalas terus terang.
"Kalau Tangning hebat sangat, kenapa kamu semua tak gajikan dia? Saya pasti kamu semua boleh sokong dia tak kira betapa teruknya perempuan jalang itu."
Pembantu set itu tidak memahami Bahasa Inggeris. Jadi, dia cuma berasa lebih geram. Melihatkan ini, Cate ketawa dan mencurahkan segelas air itu ke atas kepala pembantu set tersebut. "Tangning perempuan jalang teruk, perempuan jalang teruk!"
Pengurus itu membiarkan Cate menuturkan kata-kata ini kerana dia tahu tiada sesiapa di situ. Tetapi, dia tidak sangka kata-kata ini akan sampai ke telinga Mo Ting.
Apa-apa pun, pembantu set itu dibuli. Jadi, pastilah dia merungut kepada Qiao Sen. Walaupun dia tidak memahami Bahasa Inggeris, dia ingat kata-kata terakhir Cate dan mengulang kata-kata itu kepada Qiao Sen.
Selepas Qiao Sen mendengar hal ini, mukanya berubah merah kerana marah. Paling teruk, Mo Ting berdiri betul-betul di belakang mereka.
"Presiden Mo…"
Mo Ting tidak berkata apa-apa ketika dia mencerlung pada Cate, yang berada di kejauhan, dan berjalan ke arahnya.
Qiao Sen dan pembantu set segera mengekorinya, bersedia untuk mengendalikan ribut yang akan melanda.
Sudah tentu, Cate terkejut melihat Mo Ting. Apa-apa pun, bila Mo Ting pernah mendekatinya sendirian? Jadi, dia segera berdiri daripada kerusinya dan menyapanya dengan senyuman. Namun, Mo Ting hanya berkata kepadanya, "Cepat beredar dan balik Perancis! Jangan biar saya tengok kamu lagi!"
Air muka Cate berubah dingin, keliru dengan permintaan Mo Ting.
"Kenapa?"
"Shoo." Mo Ting berkata dingin sambil berpusing kepada pengurus Cate. "Kalau kamu pandai, kamu akan suruh agensi kamu lepaskan Cate. Kalau tak, saya akan buat agensi kamu merana."
Pengurus itu tidak bergerak. Lebih tepat, dia tidak tahu bagaimana mahu memberi reaksi untuk ugutan Mo Ting.
Pengurus itu tahu Mo Ting benar-benar marah.
Jadi, dia tiada pilihan selain berbuat seperti yang disuruh. Lagipun, dibandingkan dengan Cate, tiada sesiapa berani menyinggung Hai Rui.


Malam sebelum perkahwinan mereka, tunangnya lari bersama-sama perempuan simpanannya.
Dengan perasaan kecewa, dia terus memilih lelaki yang berada di hadapan Pejabat Urusan Awam. “Presiden Mo, pengantin perempuan kamu tidak datang dan pengantin lelaki saya sudah lari. Boleh saya cadangkan kita berkahwin?”
Sebelum berkahwin, dia berkata, “Kalau kita berkongsi katil yang sama sekalipun, tiada apa-apa yang akan berlaku antara kita!”
Selepas berkahwin, si lelaki berkata, “Kalau kita tidak cuba, bagaimana kita mahu tahu?”

La mujer estaba al tanto de la existencia de Tangning. Después de todo, había sacudido la escena internacional varias veces. Pero independientemente de a quién se enfrentara, el equipo de Cate confiaba en que sus condiciones extraordinarias se añadieran al contrato.
—En Francia me tratan como a un tesoro nacional. En todos los lugares donde me quedo tengo un nivel de cinco estrellas. Pero miren el hotel aquí en Beijing. Incluso el aire acondicionado está roto. No quiero quedarme en un lugar como este.
Si alguien se quejara de que Hollywood maltrataba a los actores extranjeros, tendría que soportarlo, porque era Hollywood. Pero, ¿quiénes creían que eran Superstar Media en comparación?
El equipo de Cate estaba preparado para luchar con Tangning. Ya tenían mil razones para convencer a Tangning de que aceptara las nuevas condiciones, no obstante, obviamente habían subestimado las habilidades de Tangning como gerente y jefe.
Pensaron que estaba aquí como actriz. Sin embargo, desde el momento en que Tangning puso un pie en la sala de reuniones, ya no era la actriz Tangning.
El traje blanco de su cuerpo la hacía parecer madura y hermosa. Cate se dio cuenta de repente de que no podía saber lo que Tangning había planeado. Cate había traído algunos abogados, así como su representante y su asistente. En total, eran cinco, pero Tangning simplemente había llevado consigo a Long Jie.
—He oído que su equipo pidió condiciones adicionales —relató Tangning sin rodeos.
Cate no dijo ni una palabra. En su lugar, su representante habló en su nombre:
—Nuestra Cate es famosa en Francia y tiene un estatus considerable en la escena internacional. Tenemos derecho a recibir un mejor tratamiento.
—Debió haber discutido estas condiciones cuando firmó el contrato por primera vez. Ahora que el contrato ya está firmado, entonces tienes la responsabilidad de cumplirlo. ¿O cree que es fácil presionar a Superstar Media?
—El contrato fue establecido por nosotros, así que siempre hay lugar para ajustes. Además, ustedes fueron los que invitaron a Cate aquí. ¿No debería ser su responsabilidad satisfacer sus necesidades? —preguntó el representante, expectante—. Si quiere responsabilizar a alguien, debería culparse a si misma por no tener a nadie en China que sea comparable a nuestra Cate. De lo contrario, ¿por qué viajarían tan lejos para suplicarnos?
—Entonces, ¿qué planean hacer? —inquirió Tangning y se cruzó de brazos.
—Nuestro abogado discutirá con usted las condiciones que nuestra Cate desea —respondió. El representante pensó que Tangning estaba llegando a un acuerdo, así que empezó a mencionar al abogado.
Pero, tan pronto como el abogado de Cate dio un paso adelante y entregó a Tangning algunos documentos con las condiciones de Cate, Tangning extendió su mano y les hizo un gesto para que se detuvieran.
—Antes de hacer cualquier nueva petición, creo que debería firmar este documento primero.
 Tangning hizo un gesto a Long Jie para que le entregara un documento mecanografiado en francés y lo colocó delante del representante de Cate.
—¿Un acuerdo de cancelación de contrato? —se sorprendió el agente. 
—Superstar Media puede tener mucho dinero, pero no somos estúpidos. La primera vez que han hecho pedidos extraordinarios, ya tenía la intención de enviarlos de vuelta a Francia. Tengo tres razones para esto: en primer lugar, mi país puede no estar aún tan bien desarrollado, pero todavía tengo acceso a noticias de entretenimiento. Al menos, sé que la señorita Cate actúa en Francia con habilidad, pero su reputación es un desastre. Así que no me diga que le tratan como un tesoro nacional en Francia. ¿Cree que nunca he estado en Francia? ¿O esperaba que nunca fuera a Francia? Qué vergüenza...
—... En segundo lugar, no es que China tenga malas actrices. Es solo que Cate encaja en el papel que estamos intentando realizar. Si no fuera porque estaba embarazada, no creo que hubiera tenido ninguna oportunidad. Según las estadísticas, mi influencia en el mercado occidental parece ser mucho mayor que la suya… En tercer lugar, por lo que he oído, la señorita Cate ha llegado a un punto en su carrera en el que está intentando cambiar su estilo, pero no ha encontrado ningún papel adecuado y ha acabado participando en algunos fracasos, haciendo que su agencia sufra. Si cancelamos nuestro contrato ahora, y su agencia le culpa de su pérdida, no solo Cate se quedará en una habitación sin aire acondicionado, ¡sino que puede quedarse sin ninguna habitación!...
—... En conclusión, Superstar Media fue quien la ha escogido, no al revés. Así que, adelante, firme la cancelación del contrato y vaya a casa. No desperdiciemos más el tiempo del otro.
La contraparte nunca esperó que Tangning dijera palabras tan duras, así que Cate parecía especialmente disgustada.
—Long Jie, vigílalos mientras firman el acuerdo. No tengo tiempo que perder con ellos —dijo Tangning antes de que se diera la vuelta para irse. Sin embargo, el representante de Cate la retuvo de repente.
—Puedo demandarla por incumplimiento de contrato y pedir una compensación.
—La primera vez que revisamos el contrato, ya lo confirmamos como la revisión final. En otras palabras, no tiene derecho a solicitar una segunda revisión, o estaría incumpliendo el contrato. Así pues, me temo que la persona que terminará pagando la compensación es usted...
El agente se congeló después de escuchar estas palabras. Obviamente, vinieron aquí con la intención de obtener beneficios de Tangning, pero nunca esperaron que ella los rechazara desde el principio.
¡Qué montón de basura!
Aunque Tangning esperaba que los actores extranjeros recibieran un trato especial, no era razonable que Cate fuera tan mimada.
El punto de vista de Tangning estaba claro, su enfoque era firme y su mensaje era simple: ¡actúen o váyanse a casa!
—Vamos, firma —insistió Long Jie en inglés.
Sin embargo, el gerente fingió no entender el inglés y se negó a firmarlo.
Por supuesto, Long Jie no lo expuso. Después de todo, Tangning no quería que se fueran. Simplemente quería que supieran que Superstar Media no era fácil de convencer.
Después, el agente llamó a Qiao Sen y le habló de una manera mucho más educada.
Qiao Sen estaba bastante sorprendido. Parecía que, a partir de ahora, Tangning tendría que ocuparse personalmente de estos asuntos.
Después de este incidente, Long Jie esperó un momento adecuado para hablar con Tangning de corazón a corazón:
—Pensé que aprovecharías esta oportunidad para enviar a Cate a casa y asumir el papel tú misma. Nunca esperé que la conservaras. Tangning, tanto Lu Che como yo pensamos que una película de ciencia ficción de producción nacional debería ser protagonizada por uno de los nuestros. De lo contrario, no se sentiría tan pura y auténtica....
...Ninguno de los dos cree que podemos aceptarlo. Trabajaste muy duro para preparar esta película. Si terminas haciendo famosa a Cate, la única cara en la memoria de todos será la suya. Aunque no pudieras aceptar el papel, deberías haber encontrado a alguien más de China para que lo aceptara...
—Yo no tomé la decisión —respondió Tangning—. Estoy seguro de que Qiao Sen tomó su decisión desde el punto de vista de los negocios. Sigamos con ello por ahora y veamos cómo nos va.
—Una vez que la película empieza a rodarse, no hay vuelta atrás —recordó Long Jie—. Además, ni Lu Che ni yo entendemos por qué debes renunciar a tu identidad como actriz. Aunque ahora seas representante, ¿por qué no puedes seguir actuando...?
—... El incidente de Xu Xin no fue culpa tuya...


La noche antes de su boda, su prometido huyó con su amante.
Frustrada, abordó al hombre que se encontraba ante ella, frente al registro civil.
—Presidente Mo, tu esposa no vino y mi esposo huyó. ¿Puedo proponerle que nos casemos?
Antes de casarse, ella dijo:
—¡Incluso si compartimos la misma cama, nada pasará entre nosotros!
Luego de casarse, él dijo:
—Si no lo intentamos, ¿cómo lo sabremos?
