Chapter 151 What’s Going On?

Chapter 151 What’s Going On?

The Shawn Residence was ablaze with lights tonight.

The vast estate was lit up by countless energy lamps, turning right into day. The shield kept the acid rain at bay, t stop the clammy air unique to the wet season from seeping in.

Mutant parasites, nearly invisible, floated through the air like specks of dust, ready to invade any warm body. Hovercars pulled up one after another at the entrance, and guests dressed to the nines stepped out.

Aristocratic families, business moguls, political bigwigs, and top military officials, pretty much every major player Core Planet was here tonight.

The whole street was jam-packed with hovercars, not a single space left open.

Guests in their elegant outfits made their way into the festively decorated mansion in small groups, their laughter compliments filling the night air.

Dora’s hovercar rolled up to the entrance.

The door slid open, and Seven was waiting outside, umbrella in hand.

It insisted on tagging along, saying, “The Master’s exclusive butler has to be on duty.”

Dora had no choice but to let it tag along, dressed up in its “butler uniform.”

Clive was the first to step out, dressed head-to-toe in black combat suit, his face expressionless. His eyes swept ov surroundings, his intimidating presence filling the air.

Elmer was next, his white beast ears twitching in the night breeze. His sunny, handsome face carried an expression was both familiar and oddly out of place as he looked around the Shawn Residence.

Lioren had shifted into his big cat form, his silver-gray fur shimmering softly under the lights. His amber eyes were ha lidded as he lazily trailed after Dora.

Rafe was the last to get out, his red hair fluttering in the night breeze. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his blue eyes gentle and refined, giving him the air of a sickly nobleman.

Mindy stepped out from the other side, her silver-gray combat suit tailored to perfection, with just the right touch of ag patterns. She looked both sharp and elegant.

Dora stood at the front, her bright and beautiful face showing a faint smile that revealed nothing of her thoughts. She held Lioren, the big cat, in her arms; Rafe, Clive, and Elmer flanked her, with Mindy standing on her other side. The five humans and one cat made a team that stood out amidst the entourages of the elite, looking distinctly different “We’re here,” Rafe said, a hint of amusement flickering in his blue eyes as he looked at the brightly lit gates. “The Shawn family sure knows how to put on a spectacle.”

Clive didn’t say anything, just gave the entrance guards a cool once-over with his eyes.

Eight Level 4 supernatural ability users, with a Moderate Level 5 leading them.

That kind of lineup might be enough for ordinary guests, but for this group, it was nothing but window dressing.

Elmer glanced around curiously, amazed at how much the mansion had changed after twenty years. His white beast ears were especially noticeable in the darkness.

He insisted on keeping them out, after all, Dora liked them.

He was wearing a cream-colored combat suit, his fluffy ears twitching and making people turn their heads.

Mindy stood next to Dora, looking every bit the badass. She shot a cool glance at the people staring and arched an eyebro unfazed.

Lioren, the big cat cradled in Dora’s arms, had his amber eyes half-closed and his tail drooping lazily, like he couldn’t be bothered with any of it.

But a closer look would catch a sharp glint in those cat eyes, way too clever for just an ordinary pet

“Let’s go,” Dora said, cradling the cat in her arms as she took the lead toward the entrance.

When it was their turn, the receptionist took Rafe’s invitation alanced at it and anmediately put on a practiced smile, though there was something else hidden behin

“Mr. Sterling, welcome,” the receptionist said.

“But…” he added.

Successfully unlocked!

He paused, his gaze sweeping over-Dora and the others, his voice a bit louder.

The invitation only lists the former CEO of the Sterling Group.

“I’m afraid the rest of your party can’t come in.”

He practically spat out the words “former CEO.”

Mindy frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?” The receptionist’s smile was all surface, no warmth.

“I’m just doing my job, ma’am.

“Mr. Sterling is allowed in, but the rest of you aren’t.”

Elmer shot him a glare. “You!”

Dora held Elmer back, her voice calm. “This invitation came from the Shawn family, didn’t it?”

“Yes,” the receptionist replied.

“And doesn’t it clearly say ‘plus family’? Did you miss that, or are you just ignoring it?” Dora challenged.

The receptionist’s face froze for a second, but he quickly recovered. “Yes, it does say that.

“But ‘family’ here means the Sterling family only.

“As for you folks…”

He glanced over Dora, Clive, Elmer, and Mindy, then finally settled on the “cat,” his smile dripping with sarcasm.

Then he said, “Sorry, but I don’t see a single Sterling family member among you.”

Mindy’s temper flared. She realized he was just making things difficult on purpose. “Seriously, what’s that supposed mean?

“The invitation says ‘plus family, and we are his family!

“Dora is Rafe’s female mate, how is she not family?”

The receptionist’s face changed slightly. ‘Female mate?’ he thought.

He glanced at Dora. She was stunning, with a presence that set her apart, but…

“Ma’am, you say you’re Mr. Sterling’s female mate, do you have any proof?” he asked.

Mindy, furious at the receptionist’s arrogance, glared at him, her whole body trembling. “You!”

The receptionist’s smile stayed the same, but there was a smug glint in his eyes.

“Mindy,” Dora said, gently holding her hand, her expression still calm. “No need to argue with him.”

She looked up at the receptionist, a faint smile playing at her lips.

“Are you sure you want to stop us?” she asked.

Her smile was faint, but for some reason, the receptionist felt a chill run down his spine.

“What’s going on?”

A familiar voice called out from behind them.

Dora turned around and saw a hovercar just pulling up, with Vivienne stepping out, followed by Iris and Felix.

Vivienne was dressed in a luxurious deep purple gown, looking regal and dignified.

Iris trailed behind her, still looking timid as ever, but when she spotted Dora, her eyes lit up a little.

Felix was in a silver combat suit, radiating confidence. He glanced over the tense scene at the entrance, his brow furrow slightly.

Vivienne handed her invitation to the receptionist, her voice calm but laced with the kind of confidence only a true leader

has.

“And what happens if you add mine?” she said, coolly.

The receptionist froze for a moment, caught off guard.

“Dora is my daughter,” Vivienne said, her voice calm but laced with a commanding authority that brooked no argument

“And Rafe is my son-in-law.

“My daughter and her beast mates, aren’t they part of my family?

“Two invitations. That should be more than enough to bring in all my family, don’t you think?”

The receptionist opened his mouth, but was completely stumped for a moment.
