"Madam, here is the island manager I selected," Kyle said to a woman descending the stairs.
Mira couldn't see the woman's figure yet, but she waited patiently for her to co into view.
As soon as she laid eyes on Cyra she was stunned, her calm composure disrupted.
She could feel the power and dangerous aura radiating from Cyra, sothing she had never experienced, even in the presence of the 12 aristocratic families.
"She is the one." These words echoed through her soul, her business instincts screaming at her as she watched the woman descend the stairs with elegance, grace, and a seductive flair.
"What importance are you to ?" Cyra asked in a sultry tone, her eyes cold and emotionless as she turned to Mira.
Cyra sat on the sofa, leaning back as she rested her hands on the armrest, tilting her head slightly with her chin propped up by her hand.
Feeling Cyra's eyes on her, she regained her composure, but all her carefully prepared speech was long forgotten. Her mind raced with only one thought - I need this woman as my backer. She didn't care about Cyra's blunt question.
"Madam, I am Mira Black. I'm highly skilled in business managent. I hold a degree from Spring City Genius University and have six years of experience. I'm known as the business prodigy across the 12 cities, I believe I could be of great use to you.'' her tone was confident, which was remarkable given the pressure of Cyra's attention.
Cyra gazed at the composed woman in front of her, remaining silent.
She motioned for Kyle to co.
"Bring a bottle and glass from the cold room," she said to Kyle in an unhurried tone, ignoring the tension in Mira's pounding heart.
Kyle walked over to a section of the kitchen store and entered a code to open the door. Inside were clear bottles filled with red liquid. He rembered the day he discovered it was blood, solidifying his belief that Cyra was a supernatural being- likely a vampiress.
He had little information about these creatures- how to kill one, only knowing they fed on blood. This knowledge couldn't shed light on how to kill her.
A frustrated frown marred his lips, and a thought of poisoning her drink ca to mind, but he shook it off.
Once the employee leaves, I'll strike tonight. He picked up the bottle and walked out, not forgetting to take a glass with him.
He placed it in front of Cyra. All this took ten minutes, but it was the longest minute of Mira's life waiting for Cyra's answers.
Cyra unscrewed the bottle and poured the red liquid into the glass. She sniffed it briefly before drinking, savoring the fresh taste of blood on her tongue.
Hmm...she was satisfied with the crystal stream's amazing use to her. Her mood turned light, and she graciously answered the pitiful woman.
"You're hired. Let the butler brief you on your duties. You can leave now." She filled another glass not paying attention to the stunned woman.
"Miss Mira let's go." Kyle's voice brought her back to her senses; she stood and thanked Cyra respectfully before she walked out with Kyle, still shocked at how she was hired so easily. Not knowing that Cyra could read her heartbeat, if she was telling the truth or had bad intentions.
Cyra enjoyed the drink in her hands, but she still preferred the fresh one straight from the artery.
She finished a whole bottle and got up to look for Zane. She walked straight to the ga room she built for him and saw him lying inside the ga pod with his eyes closed, and his health status displayed above him.
She climbed into an empty pod next to him, lay down, and connected to the ga world.
Her avatar appeared in the virtual world; she passed different ga players and tried to locate Zane through her party, which only showed Zane's na and no one else's.
She followed the map to Zane's location; her avatar was different - she had short red hair, her face masked except for her eyes, and she wore black shorts and a top.
She looked and felt real, just as the virtual world felt real, with players trading weapons, drugs, and food for in-ga currency. Here, you could feel pain and physical sensation.
If humans didn't need to eat or rest they would spend all their ti here, and there is a ti limit to the ga.
She brought out her bike in her inventory and drove, following the map directions.
Stopping at the battleground, she saw Zane- a female figure with black hair and a warrior's outfit, wielding a long sword against an opponent.
Followed by loud betting noise echoed from the crowd gathered to watch the fight.
