Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 221

"No, the grandmaster told me to give you this." Samson pushed a velvet box on the table toward Hera and watched her carefully.

Previously, there were news articles that reported that Dr. Shadow was the daughter of the Chime family. He met Camille before at Astral Nova, but her presence felt different from when he actually met Dr. Shadow.

The person in front of him was the real Dr. Shadow whom he met last time.

If it weren't for Bernard, who was watching them from a hidden compartment in the room, Samson would have rushed forward and ripped off Dr. Shadow's mask.

He was dying to see what kind of person was hiding under that mask! How dare Dr. Shadow ignore protests from Astral Nova and give away the century-old gurdyroot!

Hera looked at the velvet box and glanced up at Samson again. Then, she opened the box.

Inside the box, there was a century-old gurdyroot of premium quality. She held it up and examined it closely to determine if it truly was a rare gurdyroot that was around two hundred years old.

Indeed, it was the real thing. By using around ten photos of Bernard's naked body, she managed to obtain a priceless gurdyroot. This made Hera even more curious as to who Grandmaster of Astral Nova was.

"I'll take this gurdyroot. Thanks." Hera placed it back into the box.

Samson said, "Please do."

Hera took the velvet box while Samson stayed still. She turned around to leave, but when she placed her hand on the doorknob, she suddenly looked back and asked, "I'm sorry to ask this so suddenly, but is your grandmaster into men?"

Samson was perplexed. How could this be?

In the compartment room, Bernard was speechless as he watched them from the one-way mirror.

Samson suddenly thought of something incredible. "Are you a woman crossdressing as a man?"

Hera was taken aback. She never expected this to happen!

Suddenly, she felt that Samson was ambushing her from behind. She sidestepped him and avoided his attack.

Then, Samson's hand reached

toward her mask. Hera blocked his hand with the velvet box. In her other hand, with a twist of her wrist, two silver needles appeared between her fingers. She flicked the needles toward him.

Samson immediately used his arra

to shield himself. The needles prated his suit and pricked his armat wasn't painful, but his arm immediately felt numb.

Hera took the chance to open the door and run off with the velvet box.

At the same time, the door to the compartment room behind Samson opened. Bernard came out with a stony expression.

Samson immediately turned around and knelt on one knee in apology. "I'm sorry, Bernard. I couldn't help myself and wanted to see her real face." "Get out of my sight! Run ten laps around Norburgh right now!"

Hera ran out of the room. There was no one in the corridor. She went through the safety exit to reach the first floor.

At the entrance, Leon had barely

been waiting for half an hour when he saw Hera rush out. She yanked open the door to the backseat and jumped in. Immediately, he started the car and joined the flow of traffic.

Hera took off her mask and looked back. Seeing that no one was chasing after her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, did you just commit daylight robbery?"

Leon drove as he glanced in the rearview mirror at the velvet box beside Hera. He shivered.

She truly was God Raven, bringing a storm with her wherever she went.
