Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 805 A Well-Planned Plot Was Slowly Revealed (Part One)

I have become accustomed to watching her succeed in attaining her own happiness from afar. Whenever she does, my next step is always to withdraw from her life. For she has made it clear, even without uttering the words herself, that it is where I belong. However, as life will have it, she is always thrown in situations that like to grab away her happiness. Following that, she will fall into depression and experience a lot of pain, which is something that I can not bear to see. As a result, there is only one thing I can do, and that is to support her in any way I can, whether she asks for my help or not.' -Eric Long A loud humming from an engine could be heard, followed by the screeching of tires upon making contact with the ground, as a non-stop flight from T City to Dragon Island landed at the International Airport of Dragon Island.

When the plane had come to a complete halt, an influential man emerged from the door, and descended through the air stairs.

Wearing a fancy black suit, Brian exuded a gloomy aura with a single purpose in mind while walking under the bright, blue sky. His steps were unusually hurried, and under closer observation, one might notice that they lacked a certain elegance that was often present. It seemed that Brian Long was too distracted to notice the change in his own movements.

As soon as the airport supervisor saw Brian, he rushed towards him, and said respectfully,"Mr. Brian Long, the car you ordered is ready," Taking out the key from his pocket, he handed it to Brian, "The car is in the parking lot at this very moment." "Okay," answered Brian curtly. He then took the key, and walked towards the parking lot through the exclusive passageway. Behind him, concerned Tony followed and sought for a good time to speak up.

"Mr, Brian Long," said Tony carefully. "Why don't you let me drive?" Once they were in the parking lot, Brian went to the driver's side, and unlocked the door.

Without sparing Tony a glance, he said,"No. I'll go ahead first,"

With that, he entered the car and did not wait for Tony to get in. At a crazy speed, he drove away like an arrow pulled back off a string. With a loud 'whoosh' sound, by the time Tony was able to squint his eyes, the car was nearly out of sight.

As he was looking at the dusty trail of the car, the corner of his lips twitched. "Always too stubborn, and too conceited, Mr. Brian," he muttered to himself,"If only you'd just admitted your mistake while you still had the chance. As the saying goes, 'A dead duck's mouth is stiff!' Why did you have to wait until the last minute to correct your mistakes?" Sighing, he added, "Alas. I still hope you can make it on time!"

Driving out of the airport at an accelerated speed, when he was nearing the downtown, he took out his emergency light from under the seat and put it on the car roof. He switched it on, warning other vehicles to move aside, and carried on driving all the way to Central Square. Along the way, he switched on the radio to listen to live reports from the site. As the time for the engagement ceremony drew closer, his usually indifferent face finally revealed signs of worry.

The truth was, he had planned to arrive at an earlier time. But the continuous heavy snow in A city in the past few days caused a lot of flights to be delayed. Under such a situation which was out of his hands, in order to reach the Dragon Island as soon as possible, the only alternative was to first arrive in T city, and then take a private plane directly to Dragon Island. It was exhausting, but it was the only way.

As Brian kept pressing on the accelerator, he drove like a rocket through the streets. It was not until he got close to Central Square, where he was stopped by the security guards.

Without a second thought, Brian got out of the car while wearing an overconfident look. Thanks to his prominence, and special identity, he was allowed to pass through to the Central Square smoothly. When he approached the ceremony venue whilst a bit out of breath, he heard the voice of Coco, and instantly could not help but quicken his pace. As Coco was about to finish her words to announce official engagement between Eric and Molly, he finally reached the place in the nick of time, and shouted loudly,"I object!"

"You have no right to object!" Eric stood up and said in an indifferent but firm tone, showing his nobility as the ruler of Dragon Island. Just as both Shirley and Molly were surprised why he had accused Brian of having no right to object, he eyed Brian - who was now standing in front him, in such a cold manner, and said defiantly,"You are not a citizen of Dragon Island. You have absolutely no right to propose an objection!"

Startled, Shirley opened her mouth wide, though she could form no words together. As she looked at Richie and then at Frank, she noticed that they were wearing the same facial expression. Only then did she understand why Richie's remark was that even if Brian were to arrive and object, it would be ineffective. How could she have forgotten that the only people who had the right to object were those who had the identification of Dragon Island? And those who were invited to attend the ceremony today, as they were VIP guests, would certainly not propose any objections either because they had no interest to meddle in their family business.

Molly bit her lips, as she noticed that at the moment, the flashes from cameras were flickering madly. After all, what just happened right now was explosive news for the outside world.

While refraining from frowning, she could already imagine the headline. It would be written something along the lines of,"Dragon Island open to the outside world, and the engagement ceremony of its ruler was objected!"

In the sun, the spotlight now fell on Brian and Eric, with Molly standing quietly next to Eric. She knew exactly that she should not be wayward at the moment, and that there were things that she could not do such as stand on Brian's side and tell the reporters that she loved Brian instead of Eric. No matter how much she wanted to follow her heart, she did not want either of the men to be harrowed by the media the next day. Thus, with her silence, it was now perceived as a man-to-man battle.

As both powerful men continued to eye one another, their gazes were so intense that the rest audience could read any of their true emotion. They just kept staring at each other, an invisible battle occurring between their angry stares. 00000
