Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 39
Advertisement
Everyone in the ballroom agreed as they heard the words Elder Lu had to say.Owning the shares of Lu Enterprises may sound like a dream come true but it came with many responsibilities.And from the Lady Lu's words, it was clear that the beautiful girl had no training in business and she had been living on the Lu family's charity.Some older people tried to think of the news of the daughter of Old man Lu in the past but all they could think of was that the girl had disappeared suddenly from the business scene..So it was because she had died...she must have married some poor man otherwise why would she leave business?
Xie Eun stood on the stage, listening to her grandmother the last person she had wanted to believe would betray her and her eyes glittered.This woman had showered her with sweet words for the last two years.She had coaxed her again and again to spend the Lu family's money and live a luxurious life.But she was lucky that her upbringing was such that she had refrained and spent only the money she received from her father's investments.It was sparse but it covered her and Aunt Su's expenses .That was enough...if this grandmother had only asked her to sign away these papers,she would have done that but they used her innocence and her truet against her and for that they would have to pay a price!Her grandmother was right in one aspect though,she knew nothing of business..But she was well prepared for tonight at least.
"Grandmother, I may be young but I am no one's fool.Yeona and I are the same age and while she has been modelling in the last two years,I have been studying business in the National University for the past two years.And Inwould like you to enlighten me on how I would be an ingrate by claiming what was rightfully left to me?And what is this about your kindness that I am hearing?What have you done for your orphaned granddaughter that you had not met for eighteen years?Grandfather left the will open for both of us.She and I were both unaware of the terms.But you knew the truth did you not?That I already met the conditions of the will!"

"And responsibility towards millions?I would like to know what Lu Yeona has done for the Lu Enterprises that would help the company regain its lost footing in the international market?"
Every word that Xie Eun spoke resounded in the ballroom as the guests slowly realised that they had unknowingly become witness to a battle for Lu Enterprises' heir..But many of the buainessmen agreed with Xie Eun's words.Lu Enterprises was indeed a prey waiting to be swallowed by the sharks.Whoever the next CEO would be,they would have a tough battle to make it stand to it's past glory.And this battle would turn intona blood bath if such internal fighting was discovered.Until now, most of the people had stayed because of the board of trustees but if an inexperienced person were to take the mantle then it would be a disaster for them and a feast for their competitors.In such a case,however they were inclined to support Lu Yeona because she had the backing of Old Lady Lu who was experienced in business.But what happened next shocked everyone and all the guests already started to make plans on how to suck upto Xie Eun..
While all this was going on,Xie Eun had walked over to a nearby projector that had been playing the slides of Lu family's achievements and handed a pen drive.Her voice then resonated in the ballroom,"Tomorrow,I will take my rightful place as the heir of Lu Enterprises and this is what I will bring with me."
With that,the ballroom turned dark and a single spotlight shone on the screen..People whinunderstood legal jargon all swarmed forward to read and felt their breaths collectively stop..It was an agreement between Alpha Companies and Miss Xie Eun.It stated that after Miss Xie took over the company shares, Lu Enterprises would receive a 100 billion dollar investment from Alpha Companies and Miss Xie would receive apprentice training from the Wolf himself after she had completed her education.In the interim, the Alpha Group would appoint a temporary CEO for Lu Enterprises. The control of the company shares will remain with Miss Xie while the profits will be shared equally.

These details were enough to make anyone's head roll back but the last sentence made people almost faint.At the end of five years, Lu Enterprises would need to return only the investment left out after adjusting the profits.
The businessmen all looked at Xie Eun with a different respect now.Until now,they had been amused by the little girl's play for trying to rise above her station but now...just what was this girl capable that the notoriously reclusive Wolf agreed to such terms.How did a hunter suddenly become so benevolent..was he feeding the prey to make it fatter?But if that was the case,why were all the conditions in Miss Xie's favor?

Dungeon Devotee
Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams… until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world’s greatest predator, a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind.

With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon’s right back. Dungeon Devotee is an episodic serial. It will never be taken down for KU. Each chapter details a single floor of Edmund’s journey through the vast Eternal Depths, with all the levels and loot and lack of cliffhangers that entails.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
