Reboot: Mechanic

Olivia Harrett's eyes were filled with murderous intent whenever she saw Amber Hersey. 

It wasn't because she was jealous of her talent as a Magus, but that she hated her guts and demeanor. 

From everyone's perspective, Amber Hersey was a refined grace and timeless beauty that commanded attention wherever she went. With an air of sophistication that resonated through her every movement, she embodied the epitome of elegance and maturity.

Not to mention, she possessed a statuesque figure that exuded confidence and poise, which attracted many men.

And of course, compared to her, she was always a bit lacking whenever people discussed them two.

Olivia Harrett was like the bratty and spoiled young lady whereas Amber Hersey was the mature and refined beauty. 

Hence, Olivia Harrett was always resentful of Amber Hersey, believing her to be fake and a pretentious whore. 

"Anyway, where are the people of the Hill Family at? Don't tell me they're not coming again?" Olivia Harrett glanced at the empty chairs and asked, unwilling to let Amber Hersey ruin her mood. 

"The Hill Family is still in a mess since the previous incident, and they are busy internally picking a decent heir." Amber Hersey replied softly, answering her question, much to the displeasure of Olivia. 

"I believe this is everyone now." Rex Warner suddenly interrupted and said. 

So far, the VIP room contained the heirs and members of the Warner, Harrett, Carlson, and Hersey Families, excluding the Hill Family because of certain circumstances. 

"Indeed," Amber Hersey nodded her head and glanced at Robert Cook. 

"Manager Robert, you may begin the dishes and leave us now. And thank you for your trouble." She then said politely, void of any arrogance belonging to a top family.

Robert Cook held a sincere smile when he heard her. "Understood, Lady Amber. The food will arrive shortly and I won't disturb you further." 

Contrary to his attitude toward Olivia Harrett, Robot Cook was completely sincere toward Amber Hersey, mainly because of her politeness and demeanor that doesn't look down on others. 

Naturally, Olivia Harrett could feel the difference in treatment but was too lazy to be bothered by it. 

Who was she?

She was Olivia Harrett and someone that everyone must respect regardless if they like it or not. 

"So pretentious." Olivia Harrett clicked her tongue and muttered, feeling disgusted by Amber Hersey's voice. 

Once Robert Cook made his exit, the rest of the heirs glanced at their family respective members. They didn't need to say anything for them to understand that they are to be stationed outside and not remain in the room any longer.

There was a reason why all four of them had decided to gather here. 

"I'll be outside, young miss." Butler Wade whispered to Olivia Harrett's ears and said, clearly telling her that he would be ready if something goes awry. 

Despite their families being equal in power, it was obvious that they had disputes with each other in secret. Just that no one dared to be the first to break off the facade and remain amicable on the surface. 

"I'm not a little kid anymore, Butler Wade. Just go and wait for me." Olivia Harrett said, but still had her tone and attitude mild down by a margin. 

Sometime later, the VIP room was now left with only the four heirs, Darren Carlson, Rex Warner, Amber Hersey, and Olivia Harrett.

"Although we're missing the Hill Family, we can only make do with us four." Rex Warner said and began the discussion.

"Recently, the patriarch of my family has used his ability of clairvoyance and perceived that the White Syndicate would interfere with our plan regarding the New Region." He then revealed in a solemn tone. 

"Hmph, the White Syndicate? They're just a bunch of phony groups, acting mysterious and thinking that they are some big shot. I dare them to show up in front of me and fight me directly." Darren Carlson snorted coldly, clearly having a terrible opinion regarding the White Syndicate. 

"Would you lower your rough behavior already?" Rex Warner rolled his eyes and was exhausted by his boorish behavior. 

How could someone like him actually become an heir? 

Meanwhile, Amber Hersey was silent when she heard the news. If it was the Warner family patriarch's words that perceived such a future, then this matter was no longer simple. 

"Is there anything else that Patriarch Warner had mentioned?" Amber Hersey asked, seemingly trying to get a clear picture of the situation.

Rex Warner turned his head toward her and nodded. "The patriarch mentioned that there are suddenly three variables in the New Region. One was naturally the interference of the White Syndicate, and the other two remain a mystery. Even the patriarch couldn't unravel the fog and determine it." 

Amber Hersey was secretly alarmed to learn that not even Warner's patriarch was able to unravel the fog and obtain an answer. There were only two possibilities for this kind of scenario to occur.

One was that their ability was insufficient to determine and the other one was that the cloud of fog they wanted to uncover was out of their reach, meaning they are incapable of predicting their fate. 

Naturally, Amber Hersey hoped that it was the former and not the latter, given that it would be disastrous to have an unknown variable, not to mention two unpredictable variables to be in the picture. 

While the room gradually became gloomy because of the sudden revelation, Olivia Harrett yawned loudly.

"Is that all?" She said in a bored and uninterested tone. "And here I thought we were going to be exploring the wilderness and doing something fun, but it's just a discussion of some variables."

"Hmph, I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Olivia. If we are just discussing and not planning to fight, then I'm out of here. I'd rather go out and kill some beasts." Darren Carlson intervened, agreeing with Olivia Harrett. 

"Looks like we have the same mind, Darren. Let's just head out since it's nighttime right now. The monsters are going to be more powerful, and we can give ourselves a challenge." Olivia Harrett stood up and suggested. 

"Count me in!" Darren Carlson readily agreed to the suggestion and both left the VIP room, leaving Rex Warner and Amber Hersey utterly speechless. 

"One brute and one brainless." Rex Warner sighed softly.
