Renee left the Hunt manor with the Rainbow Glaze in her arms, still feeling rather conflicted. She then called Rubio,
hoping to settle matters regarding the Everheart Residence as soon as she could.
The two decided to meet up in a lovely villa within Care Farm. Rubio was smoking a cigarette at the time, a young
woman in her early twenties sitting right next to him.
“You’re quite a diligent woman, I must say! You were able to get your hands on this priceless treasure that many
would sell their souls for, in such a short period no less! I knew you could do it – you’re capable and tenacious, as
expected from my confidant.”
Renee had placed the Rainbow Glaze into a beautiful box, holding it with both her arms carefully the whole time.
She smiled softly and responded, “You’re too kind, Rubio. It’s just an artifact, really. There’s probably loads of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsubstitutes out there. It’s not like it can grant immortality, so how could people be willing to sell their souls for such
a thing?”
Rubio just smiled, his eyes fixated on the box in Renee’s hands, looking as sly as a fox.
However, the young woman next to him scoffed at Renee. “Ugh, uncultured much? Do you know just how valuable
the Rainbow Glaze is? Sure, immortality sounds great, but this thing can cure any illness! It even helps chase bad
omens away!”
“It’s rumored that it can help freshen your mind and extend your lifespan if you pour drinks from it. Back then, the
Hunts and Carmine Pawnshop went head to head with each other just to get their hands on this treasure! The Hunts
needed it to extend their second son’s life after all, and because of that, that family nearly-“
“Shut up!” Rubio shot the young woman a dirty glare just as Renee was getting interested in the story. The young
woman then lowered her head, not daring to utter another word.
“They needed it to extend Stefan Hunt’s lifespan?” Renee asked with a frown. “Rubio, can you tell me anything
about this relic? Why would the Hunt family go to such extremes for a mere artifact?”
Rubio smirked coyly, naturally refusing to reveal much to Renee. “Just hand me the relic, and I’ll give you your land.
What’s with this nosy business all of a sudden? So what if this thing helps with the Hunt family bloodline? You’re
divorced, so the fate of the Hunt family has nothing to do with you now, right?”
“Yeah, but I’m just a very thorough person. I can give you the item, but I have to know its history first.” Renee spoke
firmly, seemingly determined as she stared back at the man.
Rubio was losing his patience, and he leaned back against the sofa with a chilling grin. “It’s up to you then. Hand me
the relic and I’ll sign the contract. If you don’t, I’ll just carry on with my work as planned next week. It doesn’t really
matter to me anyway, so make sure you think it over.”
“Sorry, Rubio. I can’t give this to you until I understand the situation completely,” Renee replied and left with the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRainbow Glaze right away. If the relic really was that important to the Hunt family, or to Stefan Hunt, she couldn’t
bring herself to give it to Rubio for her own selfish reasons. She would just have to find another way to get the
Everheart Residence back.
Rubio watched as the woman left, his lips curving into a mysterious smile.
The young woman didn’t quite understand. She hugged Rubio’s arm and asked in a sickeningly sweet voice, “Rubio,
that’s the priceless Rainbow Glaze. How could you just let it go over some land?”
“What do you know?” Rubio glanced at the woman disdainfully. “This is a battle between the powerful, and I’m just
a little pawn in this game of chess. If she did hand the relic over before the boss gave any further orders, I’d just be
attracting unwanted trouble to myself. It’s best to stay out of this.”
The young woman couldn’t suppress her curiosity. “The boss you mentioned… Is it the second son of the Hunt
family, Stefan Hunt? If it really is him, it’s true that we can’t afford to offend him.”
Rubio just smiled cryptically. “No, the true mastermind is someone else.”
