Chapter 163 A Gift for You

King and Leon were stunned upon seeing that person.

Mr. Yarbrough

Wasn’t he supposed to be in Maldonia? Ilhat was he doing in Halturia?

Whit, what was he here for?

Finished

Santiago Yarbrough had long silver hair that reached his waist. They swayed gracefully with his actions.

He looked divine and elegant being in white-

without the snake.

“It’s only me. Come out,” he said sternly.

King and Leon finally reacted and hurried out of their hiding spot.

They knelt on one knee to greet Santiago who was standing in the center of the room. “Mr. Yarbrough.”

“Mhm.” Santiago acknowledged their greetings while stroking the snake coiled around his left wrist.

“What are you doing here?”

“We are here… King began, but Leon shot him a glare.

Then Leon explained, “Mr. Yarbrough, we are here to track down the new sect leader. The bracelet has chosen its master. We’ve learned that the new leader might attend the banquet tonight, so we’re here to meet them, hoping to bring them back to the Ghost Sect as soon as possible.”

Santiago smiled meaningfully. “Oh? Is that so?”

Though he was the second in command in the Ghost Sect, the members rarely interacted with him.

Firstly, he was too mysterious and exuded an eerie, terrifying presence. Secondly, they were always busy with missions and rigorous training, leaving them no time for anything else.

Leon couldn’t grasp the meaning of Santiago’s smile, and he could only admit that he was telling the truth.

now.

Yes.”

Tension was in the air.

Only the hissing of the snake was heard in the room.

“Hiss…” It sounded menacing.

Santiago remained silent and/continued to stroke the snake’s head.

After a long pause, he devilishly smiled and said, “Good job. Remember to report any updates to the Ghost Sect.

Leon and King felt relieved at that.

They were terrified.

Thankfully, it was a false alarm.

Leon kept his head down. “Yes, Mr. Yarbrough.”

Santiago glanced at them once again and left without another word.

Finished

King collapsed to the ground and gasped for breath once they made sure that Santiago was gone. They were so nervous that they broke out in a cold sweat.

“He scared the hell out of me. For a moment there, I thought I was going to die… Gosh

Even the usually composed Leon was shaken by Santiago’s presence.

King asked worriedly, “Do you think Mr. Yarbrough believed what we said?”

Thinking about the minute–long silence still filled him with dread, something felt odd.

But since Santiago hadn’t said anything, he was unsure about the situation now.

Leon wiped the sweat on his forehead and took several deep breaths to calm himself.

After pondering momentarily, he said, “m not sure, but we should be alright since he didn’t say anything. Even if he didn’t believe us, he wouldn’t punish us.

King realised Leon was right.

“Since Mr. Yarbrough is here, are we going to proceed with our mission?”

If Santiago wanted to steal the living test subjects, they didn’t have a chance against him.

Leon checked the time and said after a pause, “We’ve prepared this for so long, we have to at least try. The test subject is our safeguard within the Ghost Sect.”

“We can help Mr. Yarbrough if he wants it too. Even if we don’t get it, we can earn his favour. It’s a win–win situation, we’ll play it by ear.

King nodded. “Alright.”

In the car.

Milly seemed to remember something and handed a box to George. “Here, a gift for you.”

The box was long and narrow, a tie was likely in it.

George glanced at the brand on the box and raised an eyebrow. “For me?”

Milly nodded. “Yes, I promised to get you a gift. I got this from DearD.”

It cost me three thousand dollaret

Why is it so expensive! It isn’t made from gold!

.94%

Finished

Milly’s movie hadn’t been released yet, so she hadn’t received her pay yet. She used her pocket money to buy the tie.

George opened the box. A dark gray tie recommended by the sales clerk was lying inside the box.

“It’s beautiful,”

He then removed the limited edition dark blue tie he was wearing and handed the new tie to Milly. “Help me put it on.”

Milly was taken aback by his request. “What? But I don’t know how, and this tie doesn’t match your outfit today.”

George was in a blue and black suit today and it perfectly matched with his dark blue tie.

He would look odd after switching to this dark gray one.

George seemed to be in good spirits. It’s fine, I like the one you gave · me.”

“Okay… but I don’t know how to tie a tie, Milly hesitated.

She had no idea how to do it, and George, who clearly wouldn’t have to do such tasks himself, probably didn’t know either.

Milly turned to Danny who was driving and asked, “Mr. Jarvis, do you know how to put on a tie?”

Danny instinctively replied, “Yes.”

I’m Mr. Tate’s assistant, after all, I know how to do everything!

Perfectly!

Milly sighed in relief. “Great, can you help Mr. Tate with his tie later?”

Danny felt a chill run down his spine suddenly.
