Chapter 27: Sweet Seventeen

  *g**g*“Twelve years!” So announced Merlin Porshi to a crowd created through uniting the most famous as well as wealthy individuals across the ey of humanity.An annouhat got all of them to turn toward him, each with a gss of champagne held within their right hand, seeing the patriarch of Porshi standing above them on aed ptform. Despite their position (below and being looked down on by the business man) none of them looked unfortable or even angry. In fact they seemed fih their position if nervously looking towards one particur dark-skinned girl in a simple one-piece white dress.The strahing about the girl was the fact she was wearing a white cowboy hat. Strangely it suited both her & her dress well. Not to mention nobody there would dare to speak up against any choice she may make due to her position. There were a total of 4 “groups” that had formed within the rge ba hall they all had gathered within. Of those groups; the twest were split betweewo business magnate parents and the young bck girl who was bubbly talking to those arouhat was not to say that the area around the young Porshi heir wasn’t crowded; especially sihe girl & him already had a “system” for these events.Plus it was the day where it was most advantageous to approach her specifically.“When I first brought Armor-Cordis Porshi to the shooting range I expected little, just a nient where a father teaches his daughter something, with the hope she’d never o use it in her defence. Little did anyone expect I would bee the father of two girls who together achieved mold medals than some tries have managed in their entire existence!” Showing his speaking chops as he mao get a little chuckle from the crowd of businessme alohe other individuals.He did not stop there; tinuing his speech after a brief pause. “That is just the start of what our sed oldest has mao do after we allowed her to finally spread her wings. See, after she taught a certain brat a humbling lesson, I decided to give her a single branch of Furstin along with a single promise. A promise that she would get more if she did well managing what she was already given - that promise to give her the entire subsidiary when I felt she was experienced enough to step up. Now that I look back it was a foolish promise that I had nht nor idea to give…” That line seemed to cause a few people to be taken by surprise. Seeming as if he was denoung some a of the girl who they came here to celebrate. Those reporters who they had brought in (having cameras showing every inch of this pce live for the world to see) seemed to zoom in on every member of the ty family. They did not notiy of the ive expressions that they imagined - instead all of them seemed smiling except for the you who outing with her arms crossed angrily at having to be there.Armor-Cordis herself was pletely beaming to the point some seemed to bee dazed, as if they had been hit by one of her stun grenades, as she even giggled. There were even some others in the crowd who looked to keep their joy despite those worlds. Among them was her secretary who used to be a branch manager & a certain stist who was h up the horderves that were floating around on their own hover-tehanced waiter-bots.“The reason for this… Is because she never needed my help.” Closing his eyes in a moment of weakhat he shook away with her head. “What did she do with the little bit of the pie I gave her? She went ahead to start her own grand bakery that far surpassed what I thought that pie was even worth when I had it myself. With the single branch that I gave she mao massively expand after using her golden medal as a jumping point. Not hard to uand in hindsight since she was her own sponsor; even then she tio hungrily absorb knowledge from many different fields.” Looking towards the girl with undisguised pride. “I am sure you all know how our little Furstin chairwoman is a prestigious business woman as well as an athlete who quered every event she took part in. What some of you do not know is that she has a total of at least 10 doctorates simply because I gave her a branch because it had an amicable retionship with a nearby uy. Most of those she gained before she was even ten years old - she is even a fully lised surgeon of many different fields.”Shortly afterwards there were a lot of fshes that took pce after that annou.“There is so much to celebrate but I have taken enough of your time; I am positive everyone here knows all about her successes already so let us just toast to that.” Just as he said, he lifted his gss to the air, everyone in the room followed him. Signalling their agreement before they all dowhe tents of the gss without hesitation. Although there was a coughing fit from a certain blonde haired girl with a toned body who clearly couldn’t handle her drink.In respohe cause for this entire celebration began ughing at her younger sister by a handful of months whi turn got an angry gre from the girl. Most would be afraid of the Porshi princess’ retaliation (not due to her family but rather her infamous fist) yet that did not scare her. Stig her to at her sibling as if gloating that she was not in the same position.Still the event was far from over. As soon as they were all done drinking the versations began to tinue in the groups they had coalesced into. Those around the parents were the older & mrumpy business men that somehow still believed that her success was all some kind of power py - meanwhile those around her sister were mostly those of the younger geion who believed the same. Of course there were also people who came just to try and “rip the mask” from her face or try to use this as a ce to drive a rift between brother & sibling which they push themselves into.None of the siblings care much for that as they had no reason to.There had long been a discussion where Armor-Cordis made it very obvious to the family that she had no i in running anything but the Furstin subsidiary as well as no iion to bee indepe. It was also the same day she came true about her wider objectives… About the “new world project”.“So what is that ‘new world project’ you and master Arthur always talk about?” A girl, with eyes that drifted stantly to Arthur, questioned in a rather demanding fashion that practically oozed distee the smile she presented. An awkward silence created around the chairwoman as it was clearly rude sidering she had far surpassed any of them in “rank” however she didn’t seem insulted.Lightly ughing with a bot ing down to take her empty gss away from her; repg it with a little bowl of strawberries that she ate using a toothpick. “It is just a little family fun we decided upon on at of us all being rather busy and having little time to meet up otherwise. We just all log into some virtual reality game or another. Just something that allows us to py together without needing to worry about our panies for a couple hours.”“Ooo~ we did hear that the Porshi main family were close but it’s o see the rumours are true.”“I must be sad not to be able to meet up oftee being so young…”“You shouldn’t feel guilty master Furstin; it only makes sense you would be busy with all you do!”Voices of support echoed throughout their ears which caused the aggressive girl to frown while the person iion just offered them each a brightsmile. Those strawberries also were not there just for image as she happily plopped oer another into her maw. A move that seemed to only improve her expression which also resulted in that aggressive girl quickly bei in the background due to her radiance.“Did you guys hear that Wechuge apparently killed one of the major human traffig gang’s leaders along with most of the people who could repce him?” Suddenly one particur question caused the not famous young military tractor to pause her berry pig. Turning to look toward the girl who asked that question which made her nervous.In response, likely to try to appease her, anirl spoke up to repromend the former. “Do you up something so scary? Not only is dy Furstiing but it’s eve to be a happy day where she happily celebrates her 17th birthday!”Surprisingly it was the girl who they were worried about that spoke up in her defence.“Ah~ that is quite fi is pretty iing, makes you wonder if they really exist or if they are just some guy in a fancy halloween outfit does it not muhuhu~?” Plopping arawberry in her mouth much to the relief of those surrounding her. With her obvious intrigue iopic they quickly began to discuss it with great vigour in hopes to get the girl’s attention by proxy.“Couldn’t actually be real.” “You never know…”“Why do they kill so many people; do they just like murdering?”“I’ve heard rumours that they are actually like the wendigo ahe flesh of their victims which is why all that is dust from their shattered bones!”“Now that is stupid.”“Yea all the people they kill end up being bad people anyways.”“So you think they’re a viginte?” “Nah I overheard from daddy that they’re actually an assassin with a very high price point.”“You ’t be infamous and an assassin.”“That’s a spy not an assassin hahaha.”“Hahaha h-how do they get them to accept a tract then?”“Heard there is some website or something where you send your request with them deg when you meet up to discuss things…”“Very spooky…”Armor-Cordis just watched the beautiful girls eically discuss the supposed monster while eating strawberry after strawberry; a big bright smile on her fabsp;
