While driving the car, Tyrone couldn’t focus on the road because he could almost see Raine’s underwear from the slit of her gown alone. She didn’t even bother to close her coat, and he was bothered with how she flaunted her nice and flawless legs.
"About that Glawackus Powder... Is that effective on you? I an, can I also happen to delete a particular mory of yours using it?" he suddenly asked as he did his best to keep his eyes on the road.
He hated how the corner of his eyes could still see her bare long legs!
Raine chuckled as she turned her head to stare at Tyrone in disbelief. "Why are you asking that? Don’t tell that you’re considering giving a show only to erase my mory about it then later."
Tyrone didn’t respond.
At his silence, Raine turned her head back on the road as she whispered, "I honestly don’t know since no one’s tried it on yet." Suddenly, she wondered if her father had ever tried it on her before. However, her mories still seed intact from a cursory glance.
"It says in the file that it’s only effective on humans so it might work on you. How about we try it later? Let see if it’ll work on you," Tyrone suggested.
Raine glared at him and hissed, "Don’t you dare... I will definitely kill you!"
Tyrone chuckled, "Ah, don’t you think it’s unfair for those that you’ve already used that magical mory loss powder on? You’re acting like that when it’s about to be used on you, and yet you don’t even think about your victims when you use it on them..."
Raine flinched. Why did it feel like Tyrone had a deeper aning in his words?
"We did it for their own good," Raine waved him off. "Geez... How do you think those humans could live with all the trauma the mutants inflicted on them? It’s not easy keeping them sane after an encounter that they thought was only possible in books and movies." she snorted.
"Alright then, fine. Let’s not test that magical powder on you." Tyrone rolled his eyes.
"It’s called Glawackus powder, okay." Raine corrected. She then turned at Tyrone, closely staring at him as she asked, "Though, I’m curious. What do you even plan on erasing from my mory if I agreed to get that thing used on ?"
Tyrone’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. There was a mont of silence before he relaxed his body and gave Raine a soft chuckle, "What else? The strip dance show that you’re about to watch. So you better keep that coat wrapped in your body if you don’t want to match ."
Raine twitched at Tyrone’s words as she murmured, "As if you can even do that. You’re way too suspicious so I won’t risk it..."
Tyrone chuckled, making Raine let out a chuckle of her own.

At Gems Integrated Resort, Hotel & Casino
Everyone was having a good ti at the event because of their privilege to take photos with various stars in different fields. As the CEO of the Yang Globals group, Xander was one of the sorted personnel to get a selfie with. He was sowhat grateful that his wife didn’t attend the event because of all the won he was surrounded with. After all, there was dia everywhere with caras flashing right and left, so he couldn’t just brush them all off like he’d want to.
As more won piled on, Xander inwardly cursed as he signaled at his assistant to do sothing about getting him out of his current position already. He could vaguely recall how his wife punished him with the UTI thing in the hospital when the nurses flirted with him. He was hoping that Yera, his wife, wouldn’t even bother to open the television and watch the entertainnt news tonight, or he would be dood to sleep on the couch and then so.
That was the scene when Raine arrived at the venue. Removing her coat, she handed it over to Tyrone despite the obvious disagreent on his face. She put on her best face. Tonight, she had to stay close to Xander Yang.
"Ah, so many won around him. I bet his wife’s burning with jealousy and annoyance right now," Raine mused as she walked towards Xander. She was honestly glad that Yera Han didn’t attend the said event, giving her more opportunities to be near Xander and protect him.
"Dr. Yang!" Raine called in her sweetest voice.
The caras’ flashes were hindering Xander from having a proper look at the woman from a distance. But as she walked towards him, Xander recognized her impeccable smile. "Dr. Yao?"
Raine winked at him, effortlessly driving away the won who were beside him.
"Where’s Rui?" Those were the first words Xander muttered. They were supposed to be together, after all.
Raine raised her eyebrow with a smile still plastered perfectly on the cara, all while she casually wrapped her arms around Xander’s. The man was obviously looking for his shield, Rui, against her.
"I’m not sure where that ddler-feeling-detec-" Raine paused. Xander noticed how her face had beco gloomy as she looked at the crowd. That was not to ntion how her eyes narrowed at the sight before her.
’Sh*t. It’s gan!’ Raine inwardly cursed. gan was good at throwing daggers, and the one she always used was an improvised dagger with a blade so thin that it was no longer visible to the naked eye, especially when thrown at its target. Once hitting the target, it would penetrate the body without the victim noticing it until the blood gushed out from their body.
’Dam*n!’ Raine cursed, seeing how gan subtly positioned herself to aim at Xander. She looked like soone who was just about to get a glass of wine from the waiter on her back with her arm swaying like that.
"Is everything al-"
Before Xander could finish his words, he felt a sudden movent from Dr. Yao, causing him to lose his balance while he caught her weight. The two of them fell to the ground, Dr. Yao pinning him on the ground with her body above him.
"Are you alright?" Xander murmured, checking to see if Dr. Yao was hurt or not.
Raine smiled at him before she responded, "I’m fine, Dr. Yang. I’m sorry. I think I scratched your arm with my bracelet."
With her words, she quickly got up away from him while Xander followed, checking the arm that Raine was referring to. "Huh? Is her bracelet that sharp to slice my sleeve?" Xander muttered, dumbfounded. It honestly looked like a knife had passed through it.
He was about to ask her not to wear such sharp objects and to look at Dr. Yao’s bracelet, but by the ti he raised his head, she was already nowhere to be found.
"Where the heck did that woman go?" Xander muttered.
