The Goddess Of War
Chapter 73 - Lloyd's Family Plan

Brandon Lloyd, who could sniff out any serious problems that would happen to him, was in a state of shock.

Rudyard Lau is a banged up, man, he had caught himself by Wang Zhu Ming trying to take Anna by force in order to silence Cassey's crimes as well as his own who had tried to cover up Cassey's assassination attempt on Anna.

From the conversation Ronald Stewart earlier, he was convinced that Wang Zhu Ming had already told him about the alleged problems in his family, until the chairman of the Association invited him to meet. In fact, Ronald Stewart also asked him to bring all his daughters' sons with him.

Of course, Brandon can ignore it if it's just an invitation or a request made on the basis of a regular report.

However, it would be different if Wang Zhu Ming made an official report. The association will definitely send him an examination letter officially to conduct the investigation that Wang Zhu Ming had reported.

The association would naturally not ignore the official report of an S rank Hunter.

Just wait for the time until Wang Zhu Ming made an official report, then the official summons from the Hunter Association, it was certain that he would receive.

It was at that moment of his mind that Rudyard Lau came up with a tablet in his hand and showed the news of the Dungeon raid accident that he had not previously cared about.

Yep. He was not even worried about the result of the raid, even though his beloved daughter was there.

Upon seeing the newscast Rudyard showed him, there was a sneaky glint in Brandon's eyes. From what he had just witnessed, he saw an opportunity for him to escape from the problems that might befall him.

In the footage he was watching, Brandon saw his daughter coming out of the Dungeon gate in the carrying of Wang Zhu Ming, like a prince carrying a princess.

Then, the camera took a picture of the familiarity of those who seemed to be chatting in a special ambulance car belonging to the Association.

Without a long wait, Brandon immediately contacted Cassey.

•••

Cassey Lloyd put her smartphone back on after she finished receiving a call from her father.

Very rarely, even almost never, Brandon Lloyd called him first. Especially at 2 am as it is today.

Brandon Lloyd immediately made a call to inquire about the news of his beloved daughter, after he got the news about the raid accident that his daughter experienced.

That was Cassey's previous thought, shortly after he received a phone call from his father. Cassey thought her father was worried about her.

However, after speaking for a long time, his father asked more about meeting him with Wang Zhu Ming and whether he had any affinity with the number one Southeast Asian Hunter after the man saved him from a raid accident.

“He didn't even ask if I was okay. And there is absolutely no discussion of the burning princess's residence. There's no way he doesn't know, right?”

Cassey threw the bolster she had hugged since just now recklessly as she recalled her father's talk that sounded ambitious as ever, regardless of her feelings.

“Cih... All he thought about was raising his degree to a higher level. If he had not neglected his family, his youngest daughter would certainly not have fared like that. Why would she have to match Anna to the man I love?!” Cassey nagged as she recalled her conversation with her father just now.

Cassey thought that his father wanted to make political connections with Wang Zhu Ming by using him.

Although Brandon has not conveyed his intentions directly, but Cassey's thinking has little in common with Brandon's true intentions.

Brandon wanted to use his daughter to speak to Wang Zhu Ming so that the man would not make an official report to the Association.

Brandon would really be cornered if the Association went to check on his entire family and did not find Anna in the examination.

But, the Association could not send him a formal summons, if Wang Zhu Ming did not make a formal report in writing.

The association could only ask him to come voluntarily if they did not have an official report. Brandon, of course, has the right to refuse.

°°°

When he remembered Anna, suddenly all the fine hairs on Cassey's body brushed. It also made it difficult for Cassey to sleep.

He recalled the last time he saw the ghost of his half-sister 4 days ago. So scared and surprised, he fainted on his own puddle.

The ghost that always appears and bothers him even makes him homeless, after he burns down Lloyd's daughter's residence because of the panic he suffered.

It was fortunate that he took the graduation exam from the Academy. So, Cassey doesn't have to be scared for a few days.

He was even more afraid of meeting the ghost of his half-brother than having to meet monsters within the Dungeon.

After losing her room, Cassey was forced to sleep in her mother's bedroom for a while, while the princess's residence was rebuilt.

°°°

Cassey wanted to go to the restroom, but because she had just remembered Anna's ghost, she became a little afraid even though she was finally desperate as well.

Upon his return from the bathroom, Cassey lay back and contemplated the possibilities of Anna Lloyd.

After the incident, Cassey immediately quarreled with Reinhard, his secretive girlfriend from his family.

Reinhard, whom he accuses of directly falling for Anna at the meeting, defended himself. They were fighting at the scene, so Cassey was late to check on Anna's body.

However, as she learned later, Anna's body seemed to be carried away by someone else and disappeared.

At that moment, he meets Bimo Gandri, Anna's personal driver, who just happened to come and is surprised to see Cassey in the courtyard of the Asian Soul building.

In order to eliminate the evidence for having seen it in that place, Cassey ended up harming Bimo in order to eliminate the evidence.

Because he knew, the man was the only person in the princess residence who would not be able to be persuaded to ignore the incident, if Bimo later found out.

Until a few days after the incident, Cassey became very frightened if the Hunter Association found out that he had hurt Anna, as well as Bimo, so badly.

At first, Cassey did not plan to kill his half-brother. He was just carried away by emotions, until without realizing it, he had over-acted.

Cassey eventually decides to search for Anna secretly every day.

When trying to investigate through CCTV footage, the Asian Soul security team told him that they were doing maintenance on all CCTV cameras on the day of the incident, so he was relieved that the evidence for his mistreatment did not exist.

That's what Cassey knows.

Asian Soul did not say that their boss and Brandon Lloyd had sabotaged the CCTV footage.

Cassey ended up being a little grateful for it.

If only Asian Soul was not doing maintenance on all CCTV cameras, then it would have put him in danger and of course he would have been in the Hunter Association prison.

Until finally, ‘ghant Anna’ came to see him several times. He believes Anna is dead.

He concluded, it is possible that his stepbrother had run away from the place and died in a place that is unknown to anyone until no one found his body and made his spirit curious.

At a time when Cassey was still remembering her half-sister, she got a call on her smartphone.

When he saw that it was Reinhard Bern who had contacted him, he was somehow very lazy to take the call and just let it go.

Reinhard Bern still contacted him twice before giving up.

Cassey turned on his mother's computer and looked through the latest news of the Academy raid accident he was following, then found a video cut that his father seemed to have watched and contacted him.

His face suddenly warmed. His heart also beat faster, as he recalled the handsome and dashing Wang Zhu Ming.

Unknowingly, he several times smiled to himself and felt a little hot.

“Stupid, what am I thinking?” Cassey murmured when she finally realized that she had thought of something impossible.

•••

Joana Nankins just got home when it was almost morning. The woman immediately hugged the daughter she missed after they had not met for several days.

“You okay Cassey? They take good care of your injuries, right?” joana asked worriedly. On the way home, he had seen the news regarding the Hunter Academy raid accident.

“Ya, mom... I'm fine now.”

Joana Nankins breathed a sigh of relief. He examined Cassey's body and his face looked delighted after learning his daughter seemed to be doing well.

“Then..., how about Wang Zhu Ming?” Joana Nankins asked with a seductive look.

Cassey furrowed her brows. “Does dad tell mom too?” Ask Cassey.

Joana Nankis was surprised to hear that. The question comes from itself. He hasn't even spoken to Brandon Lloyd in days.

“Brandon contact you?”

Cassey nodded.

“What did he say?”

“Father asked me to approach Wang Zhu Ming,”, Cassey said with a slightly irritated face as she recalled her father directly telling her to approach Wang Zhu Ming without making small talk first.

Joana Nankins smiled happily. “Then what do you think?”

Cassey was silent for a long time before finally answering her mother's question. “Dia..., of course I am happy to be saved by him and meet him in person.”

Hearing that Joana Nankins laughed.

“What if you follow what your father said?”

“What??”

Joana Nankins smiles at her daughter. A meaningful smile that her daughter had guessed what her mascudine was.

Joana does want Wang Zhu Ming to be her son-in-law, as Cassey's husband. But all this time he had still not found a way to be able to bring them together, because he himself did not know the Wang family who were in the capital.

Whether because the universe had helped and supported his intentions, they had accidentally met.

“But... how can I meet him again?” ask Cassey in a slightly timid manner.

Joana Nankins grabbed Cassey's body and rested her head on her shoulder and rubbed the head of her beloved daughter.

“You'll meet him next week, are you ready for that?” Said Joana Nankins with the corners of the lips curved upwards.

Cassey straightened up and looked at Joana Nankins face. “Next week?”

“Yes. You have to prepare yourself, ok?”

Hearing that, Cassey recalled Wang Zhu Ming. How valiant the man was, how his fighting strength as well as the man was really very handsome, even according to him Wang Zhu Ming was the most handsome man he had ever met in his lifetime.

What if he could have a special relationship with the man most coveted by women in Southeast Asia? What if they get married? Those thoughts made Cassey blush.

“But, what's next week?” Ask Cassey to Joana Nankins.

Joana rubbed her daughter's hair, “Guild Gold Dragon will hold a welcoming party for the new Hunter they recruited from the Academy, as well as introducing Wang Zhu Ming to all Guild members in City C. You also got your invitation.” Said Joana who then smiled widely.

Previously, Cassey had already been confirmed to join the Black Diamond guild after his graduation from the Academy. However, due to the Anna Lloyd incident, he ended up having to join the Gold Dragon guild.

It was a condition given by Wang Chu Gong, the director of Asian Soul, to Brandon Lloyd, that CCTV footage that was in Asian Soul and its surroundings be sabotaged by him.

When Cassey found out about that, regarding his joining the Gold Dragon guild, he did not disagree. He even strongly agreed. He did want to be in the same guild as Reinhard Bern, his lover.

But, Cassey was now even more excited because he knew that Wang Zhu Ming was there.

Although the high-class Hunter only scheduled himself to work for 2 months at the Gold Dragon branch guild, in this C City.

“Will master Wang also come? Doesn't.., it seems like he's the one who doesn't like such events?”

“Sure. The guild leader of the Gold Dragon branch of C City had already confirmed it.”

Hearing that, Cassey's face turned red. He did not comment anymore on Joana's words and immediately buried his face in his mother's chest.

•••

Meanwhile in the Black Diamond guild office, Brandon Lloyd was scolding Rudyard Lau very loudly. He almost beat up his personal assistant.

"You, bring our best people to pick up Anna from the lady's apartment***** that! If you need to, get rid of Gina Stewart!" Brandon orders with his red face.

During his life, there had never been anything he wanted that did not materialize.

His life starts to look a little messy when Cassey starts to make trouble.

If it wasn't for Cassey being her beloved daughter, she wouldn't even bother to cover up the matter until she had to try to remove the traces of her daughter's crimes.

Negotiating with Wang Zhu Ming was indeed one way for him to escape the investigation. However, the best way is to bring Anna back and silence her in order to escape with certainty from the Association's investigation.
