"The family asked me to come pick you up and specifically mentioned that the first meeting should be formal, so I temporarily requisitioned a helicopter team. It's not much, make do with it."
Scarlett Garrison looked at the swarming helicopter crew nearly blocking the entire villa's entrance, silent and speechless.
You call this... making do?
Then she saw Donovan Jennings gesture towards the people behind him, signaling, "Call out."
"Miss!" Voices of the uniformly dressed pilots rang out in unison, echoing like a military chant, "Welcome home, Miss!"
Scarlett Garrison: ...
Why do I feel such a cringe-worthy sense of embarrassment?
Perhaps because of the cold treatment she received from the Garrison Family from a young age, Scarlett Garrison was not adept at handling such warm receptions. She opened her mouth, only to squeeze out to Donovan Jennings, "Let's, let's go."
Hurry up and leave.
Didn't you see the villa security coming over?
Donovan Jennings watched her reaction with a smile, then suddenly, as if he thought of something, his attractive peach blossom eyes slightly squinted as he sized her up, then asked,
"But why are you here alone?"
Standing alone at the villa's entrance at this time, you surely weren't out buying soy sauce, right?
Upon hearing this, Scarlett Garrison pursed her lips, not wanting to reveal she was kicked out by the Garrison Family earlier, and while contemplating how to gloss over it, suddenly another voice sounded.
With a cold, clear, attractive yet slightly impatient male voice,
"Aren't we leaving yet?"
Scarlett Garrison followed the voice, only then noticing there was another person on that helicopter.
With just one look, she nearly got her eyes dazzled.
Inside the helicopter, the man's legs were slightly bent, and from her angle, she could only see half of his body hidden in the shadow of the door.
His hand casually rested on the handrail of the helicopter, his posture elegant yet steady, making even the folds on his suit jacket seem mysteriously attractive.
But more than all this, what really dazzled Scarlett Garrison was the golden light radiating from the man.
Her eyes had been able to see things ordinary people couldn't from a young age; the colors representing people's fortune varied, but gold, she had only seen on individuals who contributed greatly to the nation.
Yet looking at the almost blinding golden light right now.
Has this person stolen national fortune or what?
Upon hearing the man speak, Donovan Jennings, not bothering to ask further, hurriedly responded with a smile,
"Let's go, right away."
He then started pushing Scarlett Garrison towards the helicopter, deliberately lowering his voice to mutter, "Tch, the Great Demon King is really impatient."
Next, Donovan Jennings led her to the "Great Demon King," shoving her into a seat next to him on the helicopter.
From such close proximity, that golden light grew even more intense.
Braving the brilliance that threatened to dazzle her eyes, Scarlett Garrison finally caught a glimpse of the man's true features.
Like his cold voice hinting at sharp aggressiveness, his facial features were sharp and chiseled, radiating a rugged handsomeness that was underscored by a stringent beauty; his thin lips held a distant chill, like ice and snow walking down from freezing mountain peaks, drowning in his deep and dark pupils.
Sensing her intense gaze, the man slightly turned his eyes, and with just one glance seemed to gather all her inquiries and emotions into his eyes.
Scarlett Garrison was curious about the gold surrounding him but worried he might think her foolish. After a moment's thought, she asked him,
"Are you also my brother?"
At her words, Donovan Jennings, who had just settled across from them, burst into laughter, while the man beside her just shot a cold glance at Donovan, then seemingly withdrew into his deep gaze silently.
