The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Asia looked at the ten people sitting in front of them. She was very interested and kept on looking at the ten people in front of them.

The corner of her lips raised up a little bit. Her smile was so subtle that no one could notice it.

Then, everyone's attention were brought into the front when the EMCEE took the microphone and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen we're gathered here tonight for a very important occasion. And for the first time in history, we were joined by Mr. Alinsky and his companions."

Everyone broke out in discussions when they heard the confirmation. At first, they were really curious to see them; the outsiders attending the said event thus they reacted that way.

Though murmurs and discussions were all over the place, the EMCEE continued, "It's such an honor to have them here with us in this conference. Now, to formally welcome them, I would like to call on President Williams on stage."

When Mr. Williams heard his name, he immediately got up from his seat and walked on the center and the EMCEE gave him the microphone.

"Good day my fellow mercenaries. Today is a very special day since we're joined with Mr. Alinsky and his granddaughter."

Another round of murmur erupted on the venue. Ever since she walked inside the venue, they could tell that her presence was very familiar. After all, she's a force to be reckoned with in the past.

"Right. They're here to join us with every contest that we're going to prepare. I mean not Miss Anastasia but the gentlemen who are with them."

"Excuse me President Williams. It's not because we're underestimating their abilities but will they be able to keep up with us?" One mercenary among the crowd boldly asked him.

"Well, they dared to be here, I'm sure they knew what's at stake. But of course, since it's a very special moment for all of us, it's not bad to share the moment with them, right? There's nothing to lose if we'd let them to join us."

Asia who had been listening to their conversation had no other choice but to interfere by raising her hand. However, she didn't wait for them to recognize her action first as she immediately spoke.

"Right. They're here because of me. There's no need to be friendly with them during matches. Show them how ruthless a mercenary should be inside the ring. However, I do hope we could interact freely while we are here. Anyways, it's good to be around many mercenaries again. This sure brings back a lot of memories." What she said broke everyone in discussion once again.

"Code name, Asia."

Like a bomb was being dropped in the venue, everyone were stupefied. Even President Williams was caught off-guard. He didn't expect her identity to be someone this big. Of course, she's a very big deal especially for him.

Seconds after, the venue became so noisy. Asia who caused this wild reaction from them decided to be quiet on her seat and didn't add any explanation.

She knew they wanted her to explain. After all it's not allowed to leave the mercenary world unless it's death. However, her case was special.

At the same time, it's a sin to claim someone's mercenary identity. Especially if that person was a like a legendary figure in their field.

"Are you really Asia? Do you think you can fool us?"

"Do you think you will escape the mercenary law just because you're the granddaughter of Mr. Alinsky? You know we never recognized him as a leader. Thus, you won't be able to escape the judgment!"

These types of comment really irritated her the most. And thus, without warning, she dashed towards the direction of the person who furiously questioned her.

Her movement was really fast and she grabbed the latter's collar and a silver needle flashed on her hand. Without warning, she pierced it on the man's neck.

The person immediately limped and fell on the ground. Everyone were caught off-guard as it happened in merely six to seven seconds.

Thus everyone raised their guards against her. By far, she's the most dangerous person inside this room aside from the people present on the stage.

"Come on. Give me some slack. It's just recently that I woke up from hell. I think each one of you really thought that I'm really dead. Well, hello b*tch*s and a**holes, I'm alive and well! Dare to challenge me and you'll end up just like him."

Asia got confident to show a little bit of her wild side because she's in a familiar territory. But of course she had no plans in dropping this act, yet. Somehow she found it entertaining to see both of their reaction. She could be a good actress someday.

Asia smirked and then turned around to go back to their table. Before she sat down, she spoke to President Williams.

"Legally, I was announced dead by the authorities. I even got my death certificate. Therefore, Anastasia Watson died nine years ago. Now tell me President Williams, am I still in the active members of the mercenary database?"

"No. You're already dead. We based it on the fact that no one survived in that incident that night. Your death report was based on the report made by the authorities who was assigned on your case."

"See. Since I'm already dead, that stupid rule don't apply to me anymore. Therefore, you have no rights to raise those words to me." She said while facing the second person who dared to question her earlier.

"I was in a vegetative state for almost nine years. Who knows how many times in that span of time I died while in that state and then my benefactor would then resurrect me. You see, I have suffered death. And I think that's enough. Don't worry, I have no plans in going back. I'd rather stay in my current life now." This time, she addressed it to President Williams.

What she said silenced them. After all, she was right. Their rules only applied on the living. As for her enemies, revealing to them that she's the granddaughter of Mr. Alinsky, she thought they would hesitate in attacking her deliberately.

Though they didn't recognize him as a leader, his connections and influence were unthinkable.

Thus, being the granddaughter and heir, she had an additional backing.

"I...I understand. You're already excluded on that rule. Don't worry." President Williams tried his best to appease her.

He really thought that she's dead. She was a big threat to him back then. And now that she's back, then should she really want his throne, it's easy for her to challenge him in a match.

After all, her family was the original founder of the mercenaries.

"Then, thank you."

The atmosphere in the room was still tensed. Everyone had their guards up.

Frederick and Francais both looked at Asia and Mr. Alinsky who seemed to be unaffected by the atmosphere. They could feel that all eyes were on these two figures yet they were like attending an ordinary event or something like that.

Asia didn't forget to look at them and give them a smile.

"Ahm, so I'm expecting to have a wonderful celebration with everyone. Again, have a good day!"

For sure, Asia's revelation shocked the crowd. And it even threw President Williams out of concentration.

So far, the dinner was peaceful despite those revelations earlier. Asia could tell that almost all of them were ready to threw their weapons towards her direction.

Compared to the rest of them, they were trying to hold back their composure. Just like the others, they also looked down on the mercenaries. For them, their livelihood depends on their wanted orders.

Without them, they won't have jobs to do. They could fight and might probably take down three or five among them. However now, they were in a tight position.

So, if they really wanted to act superior over these sea of killers, they'll surely be defeated. Worst, their heads would be removed from their heads later on.

Thus they tried their best to not act as if they didn't exist there at all.

Almost half of the people here were her enemies or those who were mad of her and wanted to kill her.

The event finished in a peaceful note. Most of them stayed inside the venue to hang out with their fellow mercenaries.

As for them, they were led into their accommodation rooms. She was assigned in one suite together with her grandfather.

Frederick wanted to complain about this but Mr. Alinsky was very strict with his rules with regards to his granddaughter.

Asia was pleased to this but she dared not to show it to her face. At least, she won't deal with him at night. And at the same time, she'd have the break time for herself. To plan on what to do next.

"Thank you grandfather."

"You're welcome Eunji."

The night was still young and there were many things going on.

As expected, there were mercenaries who couldn't wait to battle on the arena and got themselves killed outside the official games. Thus, it was not counted.

On the other hand, Francais went to Mr. Williams' room to talk to him. He was very angry and dissatisfied.

"What the h*ck is happening here?!"

"I should be the one who should ask you that question Francais!" President Williams refuted him immediately.

Just like him, he was also not pleased with what was going on.

Yes, Francais Monet and Peter Williams were actually good friends. They were college friends and they planned this.

Francais didn't give him an answer, he even added his question, "We both agreed to control both worlds. But now, why did this happen?"

"It's because of Nathaniel Bai. He threatened to expose everything that I did in the past. I don't know how he was able to get a hold of it. But he surely did."

Speaking of whom, Nathan who was driving his vehicle. He was driving somewhere. His right hand was on the steering wheel while his left hand was holding their family pictures.

The road was dark thus it's uncertain where he was heading to.

Would he be joining the conference? Or was he going on another destination?
