Soon after Gianna's slender figure had disappeared from their sights, the younger guard noticed the uneasiness of the older guard."Oi, are you scared? Don't tell me you believe that mixed breed?" The younger guard sounded annoyed when he asked the question."We should have given her the benefit of the doubt. What if she told us the truth?" "Real or not, do you think that Lady Xur would bother herself listening to a mere assistant's whining? Remember this, Lady Xur only listens to herself!" The younger guard yelled as he went back the guard house. He then prepared a cup of coffee before he sat down in front of the monitoring screens. His face turned sour when he set his eyes on the screen. "Something's wrong with the CCTV." The young guard sighed deeply."Okay, I will call the technician." The older guard who just went in replied."But he isn't available until 10 am. Aiyoo, I'll roam around later after I finished my coffee. Anyway, let's talk about our bet! How much will you bet?" The old man's face lit up as he replied, "I will put my rest day at stake!" "You're no fun, old man!" The younger guard said before he took a sip of coffee.=========================================Gianna was still wearing a smile on her face as she walked on the tesselated pavement. Thanks to the nano jammer she placed on her ID, she didn't need to worry about getting caught by the CCTVs.As she roamed around the vicinity, the camera she hid in her pocket, started capturing images. As Gianna continued to walk, she noticed that most of the houses she saw had no gates."What's this? Is this the latest trend?" Gianna asked herself as she took her phone out and search about the League Elite. Unfortunately, the search result was zero. She inhaled deeply and decided to ask help from Hanzo. She then sent the guy a message, telling him to investigate about League Elite's gateless mansions.She was about to go for another round of checking out the area when her phone buzzed. It was Huang Xur.For a while, Gianna hesitated to answer the call. But she realized that maybe the guards had already informed Huang Xur about her arrival. She then decided to answer the call."Hi! Where are you now, Gianna? I'm thinking about sending someone to pick you up when you reached the gate." Huang Xur sounded like she was in a good mood."Hello, Lady Xur. I'm currently walking my way to your mansion, I am on road 3.""My place is almost 3 kilometers away from the guard station! Anyway, stay right where you at.I'll ask somebody to fetch you." Huang Xur then ended the call and asked one of her guards to fetch Gianna."What a stupid girl! Is she a country bumpkin?! No class at all!" Huang Xur yelled as disappointment took over her face.Huang Xur was about to throw her phone in annoyance, when she heard a man's voice."Hmmm... The princess of the palace seemed agitated. What's wrong my dear niece?" It was Huang Xur's uncle Huang MingsiSeeing the business magnate, Huang Xur's face lit up as she rushed to him and gave him a big hug."I missed you, Uncle! How's your business trip?" Huang Xur asked, avoiding the question"I missed you too, princess! It went well. Our business deals went smoothly. Did you have a problem while I was away?" Huang Mingsi then hugged Huang Xur.Huang Xur paused for a while, she looked like she was contemplating something thus making her uncle worry."Tell me, what's wrong." Huang Mingsi then put his hands on her shoulders, gently squeezing them."Uncle... Am I ugly?" Huang Xur faked the sad look in her eyes."Huh? Who said that you are ugly? You are the prettiest my child! You are beautiful just like your mother." Huang Xur gently cupped Huang Xur's face with his hands."Come on, come on... Tell uncle your problem. I won't let anyone bully my beloved niece." The man added."Uncle..." Huang Xur said before she started to sob."I... huhuhu... I-I had a miscarriage." Huang Mingsi's eyes opened wide from too much shock."I- I am sorry to hear that... But... Hang on... You have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me about it?" Huang Mingsi's voice was full of worry."I am sorry, uncle... Don't bother with him, he already left me and he even refused to acknowledge our baby..." Huang Xur made her voice sound lonelier."Bastard! I won't let that man get away! Tell me his name! I'll make sure he'll pay for making you cry!" "Uncle, please calm down... I don't want something bad to happen to you." Huang Xur blurted lie after another without batting an eye."Don't worry about me. And besides, I swore to your mother's grave, to my sister Skyla that I will take care of you." "Thank you, uncle! Please help me. Help me with Zhang Chenric!" Huang Xur wailed as she hugged Huang Mingsi.'Just wait and see Zhang Chenri... You'll be mine soon!'
