Immoral System 220 Return 3

It happened in absolute silence. All the normal citizens felt no change in their lives and only the few affected and with prior knowledge about the matter knew that everything had turned back to normal.

'... I feel like it should not have been resolved this easily... Finally found his conscience?'

The man was plagued by many indescribable emotions when his private plane finally managed to enter the city. 

The time was around 2:30 pm. The half-host's group was with them but they were on the other side of the carrier. Moments pa.s.sed and they have all successfully broken through the beautiful cl.u.s.ter of clouds, approaching closer and closer to the ground. 

How many times had he tried doing this same, exact thing before? Only to find out everything was a barren land devoid of any traces of humans, much less Sofony's?

Countless times already, perhaps?

He chuckled. The one sitting next to him curiously turned her head. It was Sofony in a long red cashmere coat. Her glossy straight hair was down, swept in front to hide the mark he left on her neck. 

With a smile, he explained. "Nothing. Don't mind me. I was just being a bit emotional."

Her lips parted as he looked at him. But she only managed to speak a few dozen seconds later.

"I think I can read your thoughts somehow. It's been so long for you..."

She meant the time he had not been able to step foot into the grounds of Alina.

No matter how one would see it, this place was his home.

Gio's shoulder trembled as he chortled. His eyes met hers.

"Yeah. I spent one and a half years frozen and drifting everywhere. The other one and a half unfrozen, but still drifting from place and place, if not trying to come back here from time to time. To be honest, I initially don't mind not being able to return to this city since we're already together again." He paused. 

Sofony remained silent when she saw the frightening glimmer in his eyes.

He continued, "But now that I think about it, returning is also nice. I can reclaim what is mine. And also pay a visit to those I should."

The man exuded a dark and heavy aura that thirsted for blood.

Remembering how he kept refusing to say who the person that forced them apart was, she wryly smiled. 

'According to him, it is really that heavily bearded middle-aged man back then. But he kept saying it is his turn to make a move against that host and the other culprit. Who is the accomplice?'

Her eyes narrowed for a second because she knew he wouldn't answer.

"Are you going to visit Sir Conrad first once we landed?"

Upon her mention of that name, Gio turned to her with a very wide smile. It was actually scary, but thankfully it only lasted for three or so seconds before turning into an indifferent expression.

"No," the man emotionlessly replied. 

He thought, Sofony surely didn't know what kind of ident.i.ty that d.a.m.nable uncle of his really had.

It should be the only reason why his girl addressed that man with an honorific.

If she only knew what Conrad Albarez did back then, forget about paying respect, she would definitely slap the always seemingly kind old man to death. 

She grabbed his large and warm hand and squeezed it lightly. 

"If it's fine with you, how about we visit my adoptive parents first? Then I can show you around."

"Hmm." He hummed his agreement.

A second later, she grinned, winking at him with her chin up. "By the way, I would like you to know that I now own a huge mansion comparable to that one you have in C Empire. How about I settle you there? I'll phone my a.s.sistant later and have him provide you a limitless credit card, access to my bank accounts, a garage full of cars, branded clothes and items, and ---- Ouch!"

Sofony stopped and rubbed her poor forehead lightly flicked by the free hand of the laughing man. 

"Why?" she glared as if she was extremely wronged.

It did not truly hurt despite stinging a bit. So of course, she was not asking why he did that, but why he wouldn't allow her to joke about sponsoring him.

Instead of answering, Gio only laughed.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

The woman complained in her head that if only his laughter did not sound so pleasant to the ears and good to her heart, she would have taken revenge already. To what kind of revenge though, only she knows.

Time pa.s.sed and the two finally set foot in the city. Snuggling with each other even as they walked side by side, they headed towards the exit of the airport where George, their a.s.sistant would be waiting with the car.

The sun was still up and there was still a few more hours before the partly cloudy, partly blue sky would turn crimson, then dark blue dotted with twinkling white.

Their yesterday had been full of surprises and events. For sure, this day too, would be very fruitful and fulfilling... Especially since despite the man denying her question about visiting his uncle, Gio was actually dying to meet Conrad.

To plant a few good and packed punches in this respected uncle's annoying face. 

...

Hours later...

Before the day could even pa.s.s the sky to the night, news of the return of the real Ever Victorious owner had already spread to the point that almost everyone in the whole country knows about the matter. 

It was reported that Gio Albarez had a.s.sumed chairmans.h.i.+p again, pus.h.i.+ng Sofony Silver, the previous acting CEO, down to vice presidency. The woman publicly announced this decision along with her plans to focus herself only on the entertainment company she owned. 

In reality, it was a notice made without anyone from the board having prior knowledge of it. But none of the executives complained since everyone was under Sofony's hypnosis. 

Most of the outsiders though who had little grasp of the situation a.s.sumed that a foul play happened which resulted in the Silver's princess embarra.s.sing announcement of her defeat and retreat.

The notion began with the fact that not many knew how Sofony truly became the one in control of Ever Victorious when Gio disappeared.

In those people's wild imagination, they pictured a drop-dead gorgeous villainous woman trying to own what was not hers only to get kicked out when the real owner resurfaced. 

... This would be until another bomb dropped in front of everybody again.

Unfortunately, this one would come a little later, around early morning, to extend a helping hand in waking up many still half-asleep minds. 

It would be, of course, the surprising news about Sofony and Gio formally getting engaged with warm blessings from the parents of the woman's side. And no whatsoever asking for Conrad's opinions.

It was to be one of the man' revenge against that clan head of his. 

'You badly wanted to dictate my life? Sure.'

Conrad was about to be known as a clan head who didn't have a say in his successor's engagement.
