Ryle, her brother and her father gaped. Tatiana's face became red due to holding back her laughter. Jasmine glared daggers at Rylene as she sat down.
Won't I be introduced, love? Jasmine said as she was holding the other guest beside her.
Tatiana pretended to puke while Tryan looked at her with disgust.
Before the guest could open his mouth and introduced, Tryan was already ahead of him
Father, she is Rylene. A new friend we made during our few days stay here. Rylene, this is my father, president arthur silver cross..
He introduced and Rylene nodded. Jasmine fumed when she was not introduced.
Oh my, what an honor to have the president of country Y in our humble abode.
Rylene said then stood and greeted president arthur. He followed suit. She then intentionally sat back down ignoring the fuming jasmine.
Rylene and Tatiana side glanced at each other as if communicating with each other. Rylene's father and brother saw the mischievous glint and continued to eat.
So Taty, who is the other person whom your father came with, your mother? Rylene provoked
President arthur coughed lightly due to the words. Jasmine felt that something bad was going to happen.
Tryan scoffed then glared at Jasmine.
She is not worth to have that title!
Tryan muttered loudly but purposely making president arthur cough more. Jasmine laughed awkwardly then turned to president arthur pretending to worry. She wanted to sooth him by touching him but he pulled away
I am fine. Don't touch me.. president arthur said then continue to eat
Tatiana could not hold her laughter anymore. She laughed so hard.
A ding sound resounded
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ! REWARD A PORTABLE SPACE RING!
A ring appeared on Rylene's left middle finger. It had a purple jewelry
Is this those space rings where anything can be stored inside! Wow, what a treasure! Rylene thought excitedly
Jasmine abruptly stood up feigning that she had to use the bathroom so she left.
Rylene beckoned Judy, the head maid, to come closer then whispered something to her ear. Judy nodded then left.
President Arthur's gaze looked at Rylene. Before arriving to this mansion, he had people to investigate this lucky family and to his astonishment, he did not find anything at all. It was as if they were ghosts. He concluded that it was either they were ghosts or...they were so powerful and hidden.
What a mysterious family...good thing my children have good sense..
He thought
I am curious, president arthur, are you in country Y for the event? Or has something else brought you here...rule turned to him with a peculiar gaze.
Not hostile, not cold but calculating wanting to hear the president's answer. Ryle gaze looked at him straight in his eyes for his next reaction.
Something like that... president Arthur answered indifferently. There was a long pause followed by a dry chuckle from ryle
Not bad..Ryle commented then stood and left
Rylene watched the interaction with a glint of curiosity.
When they finished eating, the twins had to join there father and then left with him together with the silence Jasmine. Rylene informed her father that she was leaving the mansion for a while.
Fine. Be careful. Anything goes wrong, call me immediately... Alexander said dotingly while cupping her cheeks
Rylene held the hands on her cheeks with a smile.
Why are you saying it as if i am going on a mission... Rylene teased
That's because I know you are going to cause trouble...
Rylene chuckled then left the mansion in her family's car dropping her off in a high end hotel. She ordered her driver to return back to the mansion then walked towards the hotel. She walked towards the entrance and opened it to get in but on the inside, no one got in. She disappeared in thin air.
Rylene thought of test run the teleportation of the space rings and to her anticipation, it actually worked.
Larissa appeared behind her in the space realm.
Have something to tell me? Rylene asked Larissa
That woman from the auction is really looking for you...Larissa informed her.
Rylene smiled as she stretched.
It's time to get into character. With my full past capabilities, it will be fun...call her...
Larissa nodded then opened a space window.
Hours later, a black Lamborghini parked at Starborn casino, the most famous casino in the country. Long legs stepped out of the car. There, stood Raven, Rylene's other profile.
She had communicated to serana Sinclair. She was told that there was another auction at this very casino. She insisted to tell her more details when she arrived.
Mr Nocturne?
A male voice approached Rylene and she nodded at him
Please, follow me
He said then walked in the bustling casino.
They went in through a different entrance that had less people and was quiet. He was led to a luxurious waiting room.
Please wait here...
He said then left
Rylene looked around the room. She opened the card gacha and rolled hoping to get something useful.
She got an 'array scan' skill which could scan things and people. She used the skill to scan through the walls and she was amazed with the findings
Mr Nocturne..
A sweet voice called her. Rylene turned towards the source of the voice
I didn't keep you waiting for long, did I?
She asked with a polite smile.
She walked towards her with quiet confidence. Her steps were graceful, unhurried, as though she owned the rhythm of the space. The gentle sway of her hair caught the light, framing her face with an elegance that felt timeless.
Her attire flowed with her movement—fabric brushing lightly against her as if it too is part of the dance. Each stride carried poise, her posture tall yet relaxed, radiating a calm strength. The hallway seems to bend toward her presence, as though beauty wasn't just in her appearance but in the aura she leaves behind: serene, captivating, unforgettable.
Rylene eyed her completely
Women truly bring a city's downfall...
Rylene thought as she gazed at her walking her way. She stood behind her where she sat and placed her hands on Rylene's shoulder.
It's time to go now...
