บท 22: Trouble & Web (1/4)

At 4:20 PM…

Arkhen, Zoe, Evelyn, and the other two shitheads returned home.

Nolan's parents had also returned by now, so Arkhen met his aunt, Katherine. She was a fashionable one and wore trendy woman's outfits. She handled a modeling company and was a fashion designer.

On a scale of beauty, she was a bit less than Grace. She had a slender figure with C-cup boobs. Her neckline was long, along with her height, which was 5.9 ft.

She kept a long bob hairstyle, which suited her figure and face, making her look sharp and sexy.

After meeting with Katherin and Jax, Arkhen went to Isabella's and Grace's company, Queen's Crown. This company was in the top 20 cosmetic companies in the world, ranking 17th.

This time, the three of them went in Rolls Royce, the Phantom Tempus. Arkhen was driving and Evelyn was sitting in the passenger seat while Zoe was sitting behind with a small pout. She lost rock, paper, scissor against Evelyn so she had to sit behind.

"I'll sit at the front when we return," Zoe said as she stuck out her tongue.

"Ok, ok. Your turn when we return," Evelyn said as she rolled her eyes.

…

Soon they arrived at the tall building with two big digital boards displaying products and advertisements, and a giant [Queen's Crown] written on the near top floor of the building.

The three of them went inside and none of the guards stopped them after seeing Zoe and Evelyn.

They had already informed Isabella and Grace that they were coming, so a staff member led them to the main office.

However, the main office only had Grace and Isabella sitting there at their respective tables with a frown on their faces.

"I wanted to show you around, but today is a bit tough," Isabella said with a sigh. Grace was more disturbed as she had a deep frown on her face.

"What happened, mom? If there's any trouble, you should call Dad," Zoe said.

"Yes, what is the problem?" Evelyn asked.

"Mom, aunt Grace. What happened?" Arkhen asked with narrowed eyes. 'If there's an opportunity to intact the first step of my first goal, then we gotta do it, Velshi.'

[Yes, my lord]

"Sigh, we had a collaboration with another company and wanted to create a temporary exhibition hall at a property. It belongs to the government, and we also had all papers and everything ready," Isabella said as she pointed at the files on the table before shaking her head. "However, that minister rejected and didn't give the permission."

"Why?" Zoe asked with a frown. "If it's money, then it shouldn't be a problem."

"He wanted a bribe, and we also had it ready, but he had another demand," Isabella looked at the distressed Grace and sighed. "He wanted to have one night with Grace. If she doesn't do that, he will never permit this project."

"Of course, I rejected it outright. But he threatened to post the video of me giving him a money bag and him rejecting it. We found out that he always acts like that at first, so he can blackmail people," Grace said with anger in her voice as she balled her fist.

Arkhan walked in front of Grace and grabbed her hand before unlocking her fist. He then looked at Grace solemnly before asking, "Aunt, where did he tell you to go?"

"His farmhouse," Grace said with a sigh. "If he gave that video to authority, there will be an inquiry, and our company will face obstacles."

"Let's go to his farmhouse tonight," Arkhen said with a cold face. "I'll come with you and show him hell. Nobody will even know about it."

Isabella and Grace were startled, while Zoe and Evelyn nodded quickly.

"Yes, let brother Arkhen handle it," Zoe said with a grin. "He will teach that minister a lifelong lesson."

"Yeah, brother. Break his balls," Evelyn said with a laugh.

"It's not so easy," Isabella frowned. "If authorities found out that you are the culprit, there will be huge trouble."

"That's why we need a plan, and I have a very good one," Arkhen said with a smile while a glint passed through his eyes. 'Haha, I got a superb idea. But it depends on if I can use reality points to do that thing.'

[What is it, my lord? I'll see if I can do it]

'I'll tell you later. First, let me convince them to go with my plan,' Arkhen said before he told everyone to sit down at the round table in the office.

"So, what is the plan?" Grace said with a somber expression. "If we can teach him a lesson, I am in. I hate that bastard."

"You only have to do one thing. Call him," Arkhen said as he looked at Grace. "Tell him that you are ready to accept his demand, but he must arrange things such that nobody knows you went there."

"After that?" Isabella asked.

"Leave the rest to me," Arkhen said with a smile. "Here's how I will do it…"

…

Ten minutes later, everyone looked at Arkhen with a dumbfounded expression.

"Son, are you sure you want to do it that way?" Isabella asked.

"I think it sounds cool, hahaha. Brother being a hidden superhero," Zoe said with a chuckle.

"But how will you uncover that information part?" Grace asked with doubt.

"Maybe brother has some people of the past who have such skills?" Evelyn guessed.

"Yes, that's the part I am not sure about," Arkhen said with a nod. "If I failed in that information plan, I will resort to the normal option where I'll just teach him a lesson and take aunt Grace out. I'll go inside incognito while aunt Grace will also be incognito with that minister's means, so it's all good."

"We are going to his farmhouse and that whole area doesn't have much alertness but has its own security. So, if you can just deal with them without leaving evidence about us, it would be enough," Grace said thoughtfully.

"Alright, then let's start the preparation," Arkhen said.
