"What is it?", Edward asked in a defeated tone.
She tilted her head slowly to look at him, her lips arched into a devilish smile. Another chill run down Edward's spine.
"Let me go with you to the Golden Arc."
She spoke just one sentence but it sounded like an atomic bomb just went off in Edward's ear. He stood up hastily. "That's not possible!" His voice went higher than usual which surprised Conrad, Ayu and Elias. Edward had always been the neutral guy. It's the first time for them to see him like this. But the young woman was unfazed. She sat comfortably, not batting an eye looking at Edward whose nose is fuming with smoke and is about to burst.
"I can't let you set foot in that company, master! Over my dead body!" His voice is firm. Exposing her identity in her current state, anyone will make her a target. God knows how many hungry vultures are out there looking for her, eager to feed in any given opportunity. Inside the Seie mansion, she's safe. The high-tech architecture of the mansion and the Seie family's deep connection in the underworld are the only reasons no one has crossed their line yet. Enemies were kept at bay for the past years but with the her coming of age, the Quadrant is in pressure. To add fuel to the fire, there's that wicked witch who wants to claim the throne for herself too. Edward didn't abandon everything in Venezuela just to get this far and get crushed by the enemies so easily.
