"very good, very powerful."

After a long time, Catherine finally said this famous quote once said by Marx.

"Mr. Fingers and Horns aren't exciting enough, so what's the point of using something new?"

Ada shrugged.

"Maybe it's time for you to find a man, Ada." Lily smiled.

But Ada shook her head like a rattle: "Don't you know? The man who loves me the most has married his mother, and I have not been interested in men until now. It's you, Lily.

,don’t you like Elvis very much?”

"Yeah, but that's admiration, not love. I like the songs he sings, but I don't want him to be my husband."

Elvis Presley's playfulness is also a symbol of him in a sense.

"Actually...in addition to Mr. Fingers and Horns, we can actually have more tricks~"

Catherine laughed mysteriously.

How could there be more tricks in the 1960s than there were in the 21st century when the Internet exploded? Not to mention, there are countless tricks that Catherine knows.

After all, all kinds of romantic action movies and romantic horror movies were popular in that era.

"What?"

Not only Ada, but others are also interested.

"Well……"

Catherine listened, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"The simplest ones are probably 69 and grinding tofu... If you go more in-depth, there are various utensils, such as beating eggs..."

It seems like that thing wasn’t invented yet? Or maybe it hasn’t spread to the United States yet? After all, it is a Japanese product.

"Tofu? Food?"

Catherine shook her head.

"It's a skill."

"Skill?"

They seemed very interested, so Catherine told her about it.

"Use your mouth?"

They were all a little surprised.

"Hmm, actually, I can definitely show you... that... can I take it off?"

Catherine moved.

"No, Kate, at least for today, you must wear it." Lily put her hands on her hips, but she looked really funny in her Dalmatian clothes and those slapping dog ears.

"But then I won't be able to perform!"

Catherine said.

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other a little bit, and finally compromised.

In the end, all the equipment on their bodies was taken off, but the innermost layer of "horsehide" was still left, and they were asked to put on the hood. By the way, they took out an evil ponytail that did not require a belt.

In short, for Catherine, her 17th birthday is exciting and unforgettable...

By the time it was all over, the lights were already on.

"Ah, summer is here!"

Lily, who was full of energy, recovered first and closed all the curtains.

Now, the town behind the villa has suddenly expanded a lot. High-rise buildings have begun to be constructed, and the town has begun to become brighter.

"Would you like to go out for a walk?"

Lisa also sat up.

"Go out? But will it be dangerous if we go out at night? We haven't tried it before..." Ada hesitated.

"I heard there was a gun battle..." Lily added.

When it came to the gun battle, several people nodded in agreement.

"The newspaper mentioned this again a few days ago. To be honest, the United States is really a dangerous place. I suddenly realized that we were really brave back then. Without Jenny's bodyguard, there would have been too many things that could have gone wrong at that time.

!”

"No one is interested in children," Lisa said.

"That's not necessarily true." Catherine was still lying on the ground with her blindfold still on. Perhaps because of her birthday, she became the most vicious victim of the attack. However, Catherine's endurance was good, and in the end, they all died together...

Except Elsa.

However, Elsa began to take charge of tidying up the house. Fortunately, the bedding had been removed and replaced with ceramic floors in the summer, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

"There are many people who are interested in children," Lily also said.

"America...is it really that dangerous?"

Elsa listened, then opened her mouth in surprise.

"Don't worry, Elsa. We have a lot of bodyguards." Catherine comforted her.

"Here... it will probably be safer at night. The Mafia doesn't seem to pay much attention to this place. But in New York as a whole, the Mafia is very powerful."

Jenny said.

"In that case, if we take to the streets now, there will probably be no problem, right?"

"Actually, I think we should let Catherine cut the cake first?"

Jenny added another sentence.

At this time, everyone started laughing sheepishly. Because they were having too much fun, they didn’t even cut the cake.

"Happy birthday Kate!"

Ada came over next to her, hugged Catherine, and kissed her on the forehead.

"Thank you." Catherine felt a little embarrassed.

"Wait a minute, I'll take that out and come right back."

Catherine said as she was taking off her blindfold, but was pulled over by Lily who suddenly came over.

"Don't worry about this, come on, Kate!"

Holding a table knife, Catherine was pushed in front of the cake.

"Make a wish first!"

"Um."

Lily climbed up the ladder and lit the top candle.

Catherine silently made a wish.

She hopes that everything will develop for the better.

But after making the wish, Catherine got a headache because the cake was too big.

"Uh...what should we do?"

"Just a symbolic cut will be enough."

"Um."

However, when Catherine raised the knife and cut it, Lily screamed.

"War! War!"

Then, Lily grabbed a handful of cream.

Ada, who has quick eyes and quick hands, also grabbed the cream at this moment.

So, a cake war began.

Catherine finally understood why they prepared such a big cake: they just wanted to have a great time!

"oops!"

Innocent Elsa was also hit by a missile.

"Elsa!"

Catherine wanted to protect her, but soon, the cream flew towards her.

"Hey!"

Catherine was almost speechless, but soon she also entered the "war" - tooth for tooth, eye for eye.

While Catherine and her friends were having a great time, Bruce, the president of Ark Group, held a piece of information.

"Sir, this is the share information of the umbrella company, as well as the financial report information of Ark Group in previous years..."

"okay."

Bruce has the materials ready.

He decided to officially hand over the equity to Catherine when she was 18 years old.

Many states have laws that prohibit minors from holding shares, and some even require them to be over 21 years old before they are allowed.

So before that, Catherine's equity had always been looked after by Bruce, the guardian.

Although Catherine can find everything he prepared, for Bruce, this is probably one of the few places where he can help...
