Facade

“What happened?” Gino asked when he heard the sounds coming from Hera’s end of the line. 

“I’ll talk to you about the things you brought up just now. I need to go now. 

Hera ended the call before swiftly typing a sentence into the WhatsApp private chat. “Will you believe me if I tell you that was the wrong photo?” 

She hesitated for a moment when she was about to send the message. Then, she deleted the whole thing. 

Hera needed to stay calm. Maybe the grandmaster hadn’t seen the photo yet. 

Thinking that luck might be on her side, she deleted the sentence before the photo. 

Hera wanted to send Piglet’s photo and information to the grandmaster of Astral Nova earlier. Since Piglet preferred men, this mission was suitable for him. 

But in the end, she screwed up. 

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: “You have a nice body. Are you trying to seduce me?” 

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: “But I haven’t had my till of looking at it. Why don’t you send me the same photo again?” 

Hera was stunned, to say the least. 

She opened the photo album, only to see Bernard’s photo in it. The date it was saved happened to be the same day Bernard had sent the photo to her. She must have accidentally saved it while fighting Samantha for her phone. 

Shit! This was all a huge misunderstanding! 

Hera quickly tapped on the photo to delete it. But when the system asked her if she really wanted the photo gone, she ended up tapping 

She had to admit that Bernard was insanely hot and sexy. 

“no” for some reason. 

That was when Hera remembered what Bernard had done to her back then. She swiped back to the Whats App private chat and decided to go with the flow. 

Shadow: “You like it? I’ll give you the photo in exchange for the century–old gurdyroot in your possession.” 

Meanwhile, Bernard smiled as he stared at his phone in the study 

It seemed that Hera was pretty skilled at turning the tables in her favor. 

Bemard tapped a slender finger on the desk rhythmically. What would Hera do if she were to find out that he was the grandmaster of Astral Noval 

Back in Hera’s room, she breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed that the grandmaster wasn’t replying to her message. It’d be weird if he did end up agreeing to her request. 

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: “Deal” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The message stunned Hera to the core. 

What? Did that really just happen? 

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: “But you need to send me ten sexy photos of yourself from different angles” 

Hera fell silent at the absurd condition. 

Was this really the grandmaster of Astral Nova? Did someone else hack into his account? 

To think that the grandmaster would have such a weird fetish….. 

Despite feeling confused, Hera still downloaded a few photos of sexy men from the Internet before sending them to the grandmaster. 

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: “Are you doubting my memory? Are you refusing to take the deal?” 

Hera fell silent after seeing the message. 

How the hell could she get her hands on ten of Bernard’s sexy photos taken from different angles? 

Christopher sat on a bench outside the operating theater in Reinland Hospital. He kept sneaking glances at his watch from time to time. He originally wanted to drive Hera home after school, but his plan was ruined.
