Screening, and in just a couple of days they screened out Mr. Turner, right? Emily Brooks knew exactly what was going on and sneered, “It’s the twenty-sixth century and you’re still arranging marriages? Why not screen someone for your own use?”

Grace Brooks replied leisurely, “This isn’t Earth, this is Canglong Star, the Daxia Autonomous Territory. The family has already decided: for the revival of the old industries in Sangyu City, either we change the person in charge, or we reach a cooperation with another family for joint development. This is for the benefit of the family. As a member of the family, since you insist on staying in Sangyu and refuse to leave, shouldn’t you make some other contribution?”

While the two were bickering, over there Ryan Brooks was also getting more and more confused as he listened.

He had secretly notified the family to send people over in order to drive away or even get rid of that pretty boy, but what was the family talking about now… Was it really to force out that pretty boy, or were they actually going to marry Emily Brooks off to someone else?

So who was he actually reporting for?

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang out in his mind: “That’s it? This is your plan? Drive away a love rival, only to bring in a whole family?”

Ryan Brooks turned green in the face and replied mentally, “How was I supposed to know this would somehow involve the The Turner Family? Hey, aren’t you the system? Aren’t you supposed to solve problems? All you do is complain, is that even helpful?”

Gavin Carter said coldly, “Better late than never. Issuing a side quest: Disrupt the situation, expose the identities and schemes of those involved. Quest reward: Kingly Aura. Failure penalty: Forget the penalty, your goddess is about to get married.”

Ryan Brooks was dumbfounded: “What… How am I supposed to disrupt this kind of situation? I don’t even get a chance to speak!”

Gavin Carter looked down on him in his heart: “Given the host’s cowardice, you may receive the Kingly Aura reward in advance, but you must complete the quest in the specified manner.”

Ryan Brooks asked curiously, “What’s the specification?”

“To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools. Quest requirement: Use the domineering CEO template on the people from the Yin family, and cultivate your aura.”

Ryan Brooks: “???”

Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly felt a surge of excitement, as if endless confidence and arrogance flooded into his mind. It was as if he was sitting high above on a cloud platform, pointing with a long whip, ministers bowing, armies charging, blood flowing like rivers.

So this is what it means to receive the Kingly Aura in advance…

Basically, it was just a spell of excitement… plus some illusionary guidance.

Ryan Brooks, brimming with confidence, strode forward.

Their mental exchange seemed lengthy, but in reality, it was very quick. At this moment, Grace Brooks had just finished saying, “shouldn’t you make some other contribution?” Emily Brooks hadn’t even had time to retort when she saw Ryan Brooks standing proudly in front of Grace Brooks, head slightly raised, looking at her down his nose.

Emily Brooks tilted her head: “?”

Grace Brooks shouted angrily, “Who is this servant? So ill-mannered!”

What was the domineering CEO template again… Ryan Brooks thought for a moment, then said arrogantly to Grace Brooks, “Woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention!”

Chapter 10: Breaking the Deadlock, the Blessing of the Father God

This Kingly Aura can’t actually charm anyone.

Because what’s attractive about a domineering CEO isn’t the domineering part—it’s the CEO part.

So Ryan Brooks got beaten up.

Grace Brooks was furious: “Someone, seize this insolent fool for me!”

The two men in black suits behind her moved in unison, reaching for Ryan Brooks’s arms from both sides.

Ryan Brooks, still in his excited state, was lost in his own fantasy of possessing Kingly Aura. At her words, he shouted, “Woman, you’re playing with fire!”

With two “bang” sounds, Ryan Brooks shook off the two guards’ hands. After all, as the butler and head of security, he had some skills.

Emily Brooks moved her hand, wanting to intervene but held back. She was a clever little fox and sensed something was off about this whole incident. Grace Brooks coming here was probably not unrelated to Ryan Brooks, so it was better to observe for now. Thinking this, she put her hand in her pocket and felt around—no sunflower seeds, what a pity.

Ryan Brooks shook off the two Yin family guards and took a step forward, about to wall-slam Grace Brooks.

Grace Brooks never expected this butler to be so bold, and Emily Brooks wasn’t even stopping him! Instinctively, she stepped back, and that bat-person finally made a move.

A kick shot toward the butler’s abdomen, swift as lightning.

Ryan Brooks didn’t have the strength to handle this and was caught off guard, getting kicked over. The bat-person then tried to step on him to pin him down and speak.

Something miraculous happened—Ryan Brooks, rolling on the ground, twisted his body in a mysterious way and actually dodged the stomp.

The system’s reward, “Lazy Donkey Rolling Technique,” was just that awesome.

The bat-person’s foot missed, and Ryan Brooks reached out to grab Grace Brooks’s calf. Grace Brooks screamed and turned to run, demonic energy surging behind her. The bat-person finally used real power, and a sharp sonic wave burst from where his foot landed, instantly knocking Ryan Brooks out.

This all happened in a flash. Grace Brooks, still shaken, turned and pointed angrily at Emily Brooks: “What kind of butler is this!”

Emily Brooks crossed her arms, a cold smile finally appearing at the corner of her mouth: “I’d like to know, Second Aunt, what kind of guard is this? Why does our Yin family have this kind of bio-modified warrior?”

The bat-person’s sonic wave had finally exposed the truth, giving Emily Brooks the perfect opening to make a fuss.

Gavin Carter had the butler stir up trouble precisely for this reason. Last night, after overhearing the conversation between Emily Brooks and the bat-person, he knew that this kind of bio-modification was most likely some kind of taboo, and at the very least, the Yin family definitely didn’t have it—this was the breakthrough point.
