Being followed by the Dark Web Division didn\u2019t really affect Cherise much. Soon, she arrived at the neighborhood where Xenia\u2019s studio was.<\/p>\n
Xenia\u2019s studio only had her working there, so she chose to set its address at Uptown International.<\/p>\n
Uptown International was a high\u2013end apartment complex, although it couldn\u2019t quite compare to Glenshire Gardens. But even in the prime area of tightly\u2013packed Betrico, it\u2019s considered prestigious.<\/p>\n
Xenia lived on the 30th floor of Building A at Uptown International. Cherise drove her car straight to the underground Level 1 parking, then took the elevator from there.<\/p>\n
The elevator stopped at the first\u2013floor lobby. The doors slowly opened.<\/p>\n
Cherise paused for a moment, surprised. Outside the elevator stood a man who looked strikingly similar to Morris. He was tall and muscular, with well\u2013defined, handsome features.<\/p>\n
He resembled Morris, by with a hint of roguishness that Morris didn\u2019t have; Morris radiated more of an air of integrity. Cherise thought that Morris was definitely more handsome.<\/p>\n
The man was also clearly amazed by Cherise\u2019s stunning appearance in the elevator.<\/p>\n
He considered himself well\u2013versed in the beautiful girls of Betrico, surrounded by countless debutantes, but none compared to the one before him.<\/p>\n
Her delicate face and perfect figure, accentuated by a tight black dress, were both pure and alluring.<\/p>\n
He hesitated for a moment before stepping into the elevator.<\/p>\n
Cherise noticed at once when he stepped inside that the man was missing his right arm. She noticed him holding a briefcase in his left hand and calmly asked, \u201cWhich floor?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man chuckled softly, glancing sideways at Cherise\u2019s face. \u201c32 thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise pressed the button for the 32nd floor and casually said, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
The elevator moved up slowly, and in the quiet space, even the faint sound of breathing could be heard.<\/p>\n
Before long, they arrived at the 30th floor. Cherise walked out calmly.<\/p>\n
The man in the elevator watched as Cherise disappeared from view, a mischievous smile on his lips. \u201cWell, an interesting<\/p>\n
woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
When they reached the 32nd floor, the man stepped out. A man in a black suit was waiting by the elevate. Seeing the man step out, he nodded respectfully. \u201cMr. Joseph Chivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man from the elevator was Joseph, and the one waiting was his assistant, Roger.<\/p>\n
Joseph saw Roger and asked coldly, \u201cIs everything arranged?\u201d<\/p>\n
Roger replied \u201cerything is arranged. They\u2019re under the Ghost Hand\u2019s command,\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph nodded and said, \u201cDon\u2019t go too far, and leave someone alive and bring him to Bergen Club. With that he waved Roger away.<\/p>\n
Roger responded with a \u201cYes,\u201d and lelt<\/p>\n

The large house was now empty except for Joseph. He walked to the mirror and took off his clothes.<\/p>\n
His strong, muscular upper body had only a left hand; on the right was just a bare shoulder.<\/p>\n
The next moment, he punched the mirror hard with his left hand. The once flawless mirror now had countless cracks.<\/p>\n

Blood instantly flowed on the back of his hand, but he didn\u2019t seem to feel any pain and remained silent. Only his deep, dark eyes were filled with an intense bloodlust.<\/p>\n
As soon as Cherise entered Xenia\u2019s home, she saw Xenia standing on a scale, crying loudly. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve gained another six pounds. I swear, if I order spicy hot pot delivery again, I\u2019ll slap myself! My dress! Cherise, I\u2019m sorry!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, her ears hurting from Xenia\u2019s cries, walked straight to the dress on the mannequin.<\/p>\n
It was a dress that matched the main theme of Xenia\u2019s designs. Her favorite Lolita\u2013style cupcake dress in light pink with a<\/p>\n
tiered skirt like a cake. It was youthful, but not really Cherise\u2019s style.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at the dress, then at Xenia, and sighed, \u201cOh well. Then, she picked up the scissors, needle, and thread, and began to carefully modify it.<\/p>\n
After a while, Cherise glanced at Xenia on the scale and said, \u201cAlright, go ahead and try it on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia looked surprised and asked, \u201cCherise, really? Can I?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise rolled her eyes at her. Xenia picked up the dress and changed right there. \u201cWow, Cherise, you\u2019re amazing! It fits perfectly, and with the elastic, I don\u2019t have to worry if I eat a bit more!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise couldn\u2019t help but laugh out. Xenia still had to handle the exhibition stuff, and Cherise didn\u2019t want to stay and listen to her chatter, so she was ready to leave.<\/p>\n
But when the elevator door opened, she ran into the man who loo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-98","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/98","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
