The Ancient Genes

Chapter 729 - Derek And Venus

Red Light District, Ishtar.

Wilson and Anna spend their time alone in each other\'s arms. They had a lot to catch up on. They had missed a lot of each other in all these years, and now that they had finally met they couldn\'t stop talking at all.

Whether it was a bad memory or a good one, they didn\'t hide anything from the other.

Before they knew, the sky had turned dark, and it was night already.

At this moment, Wilson\'s phone suddenly began to ring. It was a call from Axel.

"It\'s late, he must be calling for the meeting.." Wilson sighed. The Ishtar event should have been out long ago, and it was time to discuss the strategies and select members. Yet he was here.

As he was about to pick the phone up, Anna grabbed his hand, "Don\'t.."

She then looked him in the eye and said, "Stay with me tonight…"

Her hands which were holding onto Wilson\'s clothes trembled for a second. It was hard to imagine what was going through her mind when she said that. Whether it was all just for the sake of love or fear of separation.

Wilson looked at her, and then hung up the phone before replying that he was fine with any arrangements that Axel made. Besides, there was still time until the competition began.

After he was done with that, he just tightly hugged Anna and their bodies melted into one.

…

"They still aren\'t coming down.." Derek sat on the reception with a frown on his face. Actually his very own room was on the same floor as Anna. But, he felt it was not a good idea to go there.

It was not like he cared what they were doing, but he was sure that the other party would surely care about a third person. After all, Anna had broken the door to her room.

"Well, she has been learning a lot of things for her boyfriend. I think today is the day she puts all the theory classes to practice.." The lady at the reception laughed, and Derek just gave her a look.

"What are you looking at me like that for? Want me to teach you a few things as well?" The lady asked with a smile.

"Hmph.." Derek snorted as turned his head around not paying any attention to her.

"Come on, don\'t you think aiming for Venus is too high?" She asked Derek with a curious look on her face, and his face turned dark.

"Stop spouting bullsh*t.."

"You say that but people have said that you have been sneaking glances at her.." She teased him.

"Huh? Me sneaking glance at that flatbread?" Derek asked with a laugh, "Honestly, I was just curious if she really was a girl or not."

"..."

"Why are you not saying anything?" He frowned seeing that the reception lady had gone silent all of a sudden. There was even sweat forming on her forehead.

At this moment, Derek suddenly felt a chill rising up his spine, and he felt a shadow over him.

"Flat-Bread? Is this what you call me behind my back?" A voice sounded from behind as Derek felt a strong grip on his head.

\'Crap!\' He knew he was doomed.

Venus was the most trusted subordinate of Ethan Leviathan. She had even often acted as an Instructor for both Anna and Derek.

"I was just kidding! Let go of me!!" Derek struggled, but Venus showed no intentions of letting go of him.

"Damnit! This is why I don\'t like being sweet. People think they can do as they wish when you are too sweet with them." Derek snapped, and the next instant flames busted through his body as he grabbed Venus\'s arms, and threw him over his shoulder.

"Whoosh!"

"Crash!"

There was no show of mercy at all.

Even the lady at the reception was dumbfounded. It was not like she had seen this first time, but it really was hard to believe how someone could be so merciless towards one\'s own crush.

Derek had denied any such thing, but everyone knew about it. After all, this guy was weak to alcohol. And, once drunk, it was all in front. But, since he had too much pride, people pretended as if it never happened.

But, when one saw stuff like this, they really doubted if that was all just something he had said as nonsense and didn\'t really mean it at all.

Venus got up while dusting off her clothes. She really was getting irritated by this guy. He had a bit too much pride, and she had been meaning to straighten him up, but had always failed.

When she heard him confess after getting drunk, she thought that was one way to get this guy under control. But, who would have thought that once he was sober, forget about talking nicely to her, this guy even dared to punch and leave her with a black eye.

It was a good thing that she was the stronger one here, if not she would really have to suffer. This guy after all didn\'t know when to give up. Ever since the day she started to train them, he had made a promise to defeat her, and from that time every moment had been a battle.

"Whoosh!"

Derek once again moved to attack, but Venus\'s figure suddenly disappeared and appeared behind him.

"Bang!"

Only one strike and the guy was down.

"What\'s the count?" Venus asked as she looked at the lady at reception.

"92-0" The reception lady replied with a smile.

It didn\'t seem Derek\'s victory was coming to him any time soon.

"Why don\'t you tell him from the front?" The reception lady asked Venus.

"Tell what?" She asked in confusion.

"Don\'t you like him too?"

"Pfft! This brat? He can\'t even beat me.." Venus shook her head, and then left.

"You heard her.." The reception lady looked at the unconscious guy, but there was no movement from him.

In the end, she shook her head, and got back to her work.
