The Only Fuel Is Using The D.

Chapter 97

Lucky 97

"You're just an illegitimate daughter. You can't fight me, I'm way above you. Furthermore, the bond between Calix and me is far stronger than you think. I don't care how or what you do, because at the end of the day, you're the loser here."

Damn, spitting facts out of her mouth. Scarlett gathered information about Kimberly too. 

Kimberly was hurt inside, she was devastated because she knew that Scarlett was right. However, no matter how much Scarlett degrade her, Kimberly won't back down. 

Girls don't use their fists to fight, they use their tongues And it was the most painful way to hurt someone. Physical pain would heal but the wound in her chest won't easily vanish after all. 

Scarlett was actually surprised that Kimberly still had a straight face. She just accepted all of her insults, as if she already predicted them. 

"You're right, your bond will not be broken. But who said that I'm going to break it?" Kimberly stared at her eye to eye. " I will face you fair and square, I will not destroy your bond between Calix, I'll surpass it."

"Do it if you can."

Scarlett replied with straight determination. Both of them had determination. 

"By the way, I'm not an illegitimate daughter. I'm Kimberly Cudgel, the President of the Cudgel Tech. The Chief Operating Officer of the company, and the next CEO and Clan Leader of Cudgel."

For a moment, Scarlett lost her mind. Her face turned nonchalant into stunned. She was alarmed as her eyes slightly trembled. In terms of controlling her emotions, Kimberly had it better. 

Scarlett realized her mistake, then her face became cold, just like always. She had a cold temperament, to begin with, but she still had her emotions. 

She started thinking about it. After what happened to Young Master Chen, Scarlett knew that his chances to become the Clan Leader would be impossible. However, Scarlett didn't know that they already had a replacement. And it was the woman in front of her. 

'She became a COO in just a month after Chen disappeared. That means that she has the talent to acquire the status.'

Scarlett was wondering how a woman two years older than her became the second-highest position of one the most popular Weapon Tech in the world. Scarlett realized that Kimberly was not ordinary. 

""

Kimberly didn't back down her gaze, she accepted her father's proposal because it would benefit her. Scarlett is from a prominent Clan and she's the daughter of the current Clan Leader, this means that she will become an important figure in the future. Kimberly admitted that she couldn't face a powerful woman like her without help. 

That's why she decided to accept the proposal. It wasn't final but she knew that Mark won't break his promise. 

Kimberly did this to show her resolution of having Calix. To have him, she had to win the world first. After all, Calix was meant for greatness. His ability is so much powerful that it can turn the world upside down, that's why Kimberly has to take a step up. Or else she would be left behind. 

Since the opportunity was within her grasp, Kimberly would take it. She was confident in her skills anyway. She was going to show the world, her rival, and Calix that she was not the type to trifle. She would become the greatest inventor of all time. 

Scarlett detected that Kimberly was dangerous. She knew how to use her head, particularly in conversation. Perhaps this is what it takes to win Calix over, to calculate every possible way and find the best outcome. So far, Scarlett has the high ground but it won't take a long time before she would lose it. Especially if her rival was a sly and calculative one. 

"Behind that innocent face of yours, there's hiding a devil."

"Thank you for that wonderful compliment."

"Hmmp!" 

Scarlett scoffed and lost her interest, she just waited till Calix open the door. However, now that she realized it, there was no sound in the room. She was focusing all her attention on Kimberly earlier so she didn't sense it. But now that she lost her interest, she realized that no one was in the room. 

She opened her phone to call him. However, no one was answering the phone. She called him twice and she received nothing again. Then, when she tried it the third time, she realized that something was ringing in the room. 

Scarlett didn't hesitate and burned the door, Kimberly was surprised but Scarlett continued walking into the room. She looked both sideways and found his phone ringing on the bed. 

"He's not here"

She confirmed it. However, she was confused why Calix left his phone. He was not the type to do that. Then what happened?

Kimberly followed her and studied the room, she sighed in relief when she found that nothing was broken. Then, she glared at Scarlett and talked to her. 

"What did you do? Do you know that this is trespassing?" 

She said but Scarlett was not listening, her eyes just moved around. Kimberly was confused and followed where she was looking at. 

Kimberly saw a cup of coffee and a slice of steak on the table. She approached it, touched the cup, and confirmed that it was still warm. 

She looked further around and realized one thing. 

"" Calix is missing."" 

They said at the same time, their eyes met each other and they recognized the heaviness of the situation. First, they have to be calm, it was fortunate that Kimberly and Scarlett has the right mind to adapt to the situation. Kimberly touched her eyeglasses and started looking for clues. 

"The traces disappeared when he sat on the chair."

She deduced that because his slippers were under the table. She was mystified about how Calix disappeared but it didn't matter. Kimberly has a way to find him. 

"What are you doing?"

Scarlett tilted her head while watching Kimberly taking a small device out of her purse. The device started to become bigger, it was a laptop. Scarlett was bewildered, she thought Kimberly's Term Attribute was related to being smart. She didn't know that she could shrink an item. 

'The Cudgel tech released their newest invention of smaller Battle Suit but I didn't know that they can shrink a laptop.'
