The Unveiling of Secret Queen

She walked up to them, refusing to let them continue to be an eyesore, and held out her hand: ”Everyone, please~”

The word ”please” coming out of her mouth carried a mocking, sarcastic edge, as if she were saying, ”Please, get lost.”

Willy Kingsley and the others ended up completely losing face. They hadn’t achieved the purpose of coming here at all, and practically slunk off the top floor with their tails between their legs.

Valencia Jett only sent them as far as the elevator. When the group reached the hotel’s first floor and were out of Khendy Lordon’s line of sight, the Faces of the few Powers who’d been talked into coming by Zevaney Kingsley sank. They stopped in their tracks and turned a cold gaze on Willy Kingsley to the side, saying, ”The Kingsleys Family really have some tricks. You’re using us as a Gun, is that it?”

At the very Start, they really hadn’t understood why Zevaney Kingsley, since She had Khendy Lordon’s address in hand, would want to give them a free advantage and let them come along to ’compete fairly’.

After that near‑scare just now, what was there left they didn’t understand?

Zevaney Kingsley and Willy Kingsley had treated them like Monkeys for a show!

The person from the business alliance had the ugliest Face color. He let out a cold laugh and said, ”I’d say it’s not the Kingsleys Family that have good tricks, it’s Ms. Kingsley Zevaney who’s really got the tricks.”

”You’re misunderstanding...” Willy Kingsley also hadn’t expected that trying to steal a chicken would cost him the rice, getting exposed in public and now being surrounded as they settled the score.

He hadn’t finished his Sentence.

The business alliance man gave him no good Face color at all, cutting him off directly: ”Things have already gotten to this point, Mr. Kingsley, save the ’you’re misunderstanding’ nonsense. That line of talk is better used to fool kids! Go back and tell Ms. Kingsley that this ’great favor’ of hers—we’ll remember it.”

Just now on the top floor they’d been scared half to death, holding their breath the whole time, not even daring to speak.

They might have been innocent, but by coming along with Willy Kingsley this time, they had equally offended Maybelissa.

They clearly hadn’t done anything, yet they’d managed to offend both Maybelissa + Khendy Lordon. How could their Hearts not be furious, not resent Zevaney Kingsley’s scheming calculations?

The other people all had the same attitude and said similar harsh words to Willy Kingsley.

Roughly, when words don’t click, anything more is wasted.

Once they’d finished, they couldn’t be bothered to listen to Willy Kingsley’s excuses and just turned on their heels and left.

Watching the people they’d called over storm off one by one, without him being able to keep a single one, Willy Kingsley stood rooted in place, not recovering for a long time.

Before approaching these people, they’d specifically picked several families in Inderia that had some Power but weren’t as strong as the Kingsleys Family.

Now that they’d offended these people, with their characters, even if they didn’t dare do anything to him and Zevaney Kingsley for the Kingsleys Family’s sake, once they had the chance they would still take a bite, and wouldn’t mind kicking them when they were down.

And these people counted as the Connections he and Zevaney Kingsley had spent quite some time currying favor with. Just like that, those few Connections were completely ruined.

At this thought, his head felt like it was splitting. Willy Kingsley hurried out to look for Zevaney Kingsley.

...

At the same time.

In the Car, Zevaney Kingsley also received a phone call from Khendy Lordon.

At the very Start She was still nervous, thinking things had gone more smoothly than She’d imagined, and that Willy Kingsley had already settled everything.

She picked up the phone call and had just politely greeted him, ”Mr. Lordon, I didn’t expect to receive your call so soon.”

She hadn’t finished her Sentence when the man’s cool Voice came through from the other end of the Phone: ”Zevaney Kingsley, didn’t I Warn you not to play games with me?”

Zevaney Kingsley’s Face color Changed, her fingers clenching tight on her Clothes: ”Mr. Lordon, what do you mean by that?”

”Since you’re asking, I’ll make it a bit clearer.”

Khendy Lordon’s Voice was indifferent: ”Zevaney Kingsley, listen carefully. I already have a Cooperation partner for that project.”
