Chapter 908 Matrik’s Helpless Little Act
Emma slipped an arm around Malrik and helped the “exhausted” birthday boy into the floating elevator.
The group in the living room watched the two of them leave in stunned silence.

The others who were left behind watched them go, unable to speak in shock. How is it that we have not realized earlier that Malrik could perform so convincingly? Has the storage band taken control of his mind?
Still, this was his birthday.
For today, they decided to let him win.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, the peaceful atmosphere disappeared.
Marcus turned sharply, reached out, and hooked one arm around Corvin’s neck.
“Explain yourself!” Marcus growled. “When Emma looked away earlier, I saw you lifting your lightcore. Did you secretly take another photo?”
Corvin’s face nearly changed color from the pressure around his throat. He hugged the lightcore tightly against his chest as though he were guarding his last breath. “No! I swear I didn’t! I’m only checking the time. Really!”
Edric came closer and gave him a cold look. “Do you think we’re that easy to fool?”
Calum’s gaze fell straight on Corvin’s guilty face. “That expression already exposes you. No one looks that sneaky while checking the time. Give it here.”
He reached for the lightcore without hesitation.
Corvin clutched it even tighter. “Help! This is daylight robbery!”
Everyone pushed in at once, and the room fell into another round of chaos. In the middle of the struggle, a slender hand slipped through the mess with frightening accuracy and plucked the lightcore from Corvin’s grip.
The instant Corvin saw the lightcore in Lucien’s hand, cold sweat broke out across his back. He knew there was no hiding it anymore.
“Lucien, listen to me. I didn’t take anything embarrassing this time. I only wanted to keep a nice memory.”
A terrible feeling crept up Corvin’s spine. Am I really going to die over one photo?
His grip on survival weakened by the second. “Please spare me this once. I can delete it right now.
Lucien ignored his pleading and calmly looked through the screen.
Corvin squeezed his eyes shut. This is over. They may not rip me apart today, but they will probably tom me into a cream stalupaki leave me here forever.
For several seconds, no one made a sound.
Then Lucien’s brow lifted slightly. “This one is acceptable”
* Little Act
Corvin opened his eyes so fast that he nearly gave himself a headache. “What?”
“The composition is terrible,” Lucien remarked, his fingers moving across the screen, “yet the mood is decent.”
A few taps later, he handed the lightcore back. “I posted it in the group chat.”
Marcus immediately released Corvin and reached for his own lightcore.
Before he could open the chat, Silas’ voice floated over from behind him.
“Marcus.”
The chill in that single word made Marcus’ spine tighten.
Silas had already wiped most of the cream from his glasses. He pushed them up the bridge of his nose, and a sharp glint flashed behind the lenses. “After we stopped fighting, did you wait until Emma was not looking and smear cream on me again?”
Marcus went stiff.
He turned around slowly and met Silas’ faint smile. Somehow, that smile was far more terrifying than open anger.
Marcus cleared his throat twice. “Me? Are you sure you saw clearly? I’m reflecting on how disgracefully I treated the birthday boy. Why would I still have the energy to bother you?”
Silas lowered his gaze and wiped a streak of cream from the edge of his clothes. “Really? Perhaps my eyes fooled me.”
Marcus wisely kept his mouth shut.
A short distance away, Drake turned his expressionless face toward Jim.
Jim had been pretending to be dead the entire time. At this point, he seemed determined to dissolve into the air and pretend he had never existed.
“Jim.” Drake’s voice was calm, yet it carried the weight of an approaching storm. “The cream in my hair comes from you, doesn it?”
Jim remained silent.
Drake laughed softly, the sound cold enough to make the air tighten. “I can sense you even when you hide yourself. Did you speed alone would be enough to fool me?”
