The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 320

Instantly, the room falls dead silent. It's so quiet you could hear a snowflake hit the ground outside.

Morgan's pale lips part. "Let me tell you a story."

The executives maintain stiff, polite smiles, silently praying they don't have to hear it.

Morgan gently strokes the freezing metal of his cane. "My cane hasn't tasted blood in a very long time," he says flatly.

Every hair on their bodies stands on end.

Hiss...

One of the executives, quick on the uptake, forces a fake, terrified smile. "W-weren't you going to apologize? Why are you up here? Did the LORD forgive you?"

At the mention of the LORD, Morgan's eyes dim. "No. The LORD didn't use the main entrance."

She had gone straight to The Citadel, completely avoiding him.

"Oh~"

The executives exchange knowing looks, already calculating their winnings.

Morgan shoots them a lethal glare, and they immediately snap back to attention.

"Well, we don't know what to tell you," one stammers. "Just... make sure you show your face a lot. Maybe if she sees you enough, she'll soften up. That's all the advice we have."

After all, they weren't the ones who pissed the LORD off.

They don't dare say that out loud.

Not with his cane practically begging for blood.

Morgan considers this, decides it makes sense, and turns to leave.

He reaches the door when a quiet executive—who hadn't participated in the betting—suddenly stands up.

He rises a little too quickly.

"Morgan."

Morgan stops, but doesn't turn around.
