Chapter 225

‘What pro? Is it a guy or a girl? Is he handsome? What’s your relationship with him?’ Leia could smell gossip from a mile away, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Renee smiled mysteriously. “It’s a guy, and yes, he’s very handsome. You know him.”

’A guy?” Liam wasn’t too happy to hearthat. “Who is he to you?” He asked, unable to hide the jealousy in his voice.

Renee didn’t answer him. Instead, she made a call.

‘Yes, just keep walking…” Renee said after a while on the line.

At that moment, a tall, handsome man appeared at the bar’s entrance. He had a black mask on, and his eyes were dark and calculative.

Renee quickly stood up and waved at him. “Over here!’

Liam, Leia, and even Christopher and Xavier, all looked in the same direction.

The man walked to where Renee was, then removed his mask.

Leia was momentarily stunned. “Isn’t he… a younger version of Stefan?’

‘What do you mean? He’s nothing like that jerk. This guy’s name is Julian, and you introduced him to me as a gift. Have you forgotten?” Renee said in annoyance.

She asked Julian to sit next to her. “Was it a long drive? Are your hands sore? I hope they’ll be okay when you play later. The four of us will have to take down the enemy’s crystal, and these two are hardly useful. It’s up to the both of us!”

Julian sat down, a cool expression on his face. Calmly, he retrieved his phone and unlocked the screen. “That’s easy.”

‘ Alright then, let’s cut the small talk and get to it!” Renee said excitedly, and ushered everyone into the gaming zone.

Liam was initially a little jealous of this handsome guy who looked like Stefan, but seeing Renee focusing entirely on novelxo the game with no romantic interest in the guy whatsoever, Liam didn’t ask any questions. He entered the gaming zone.

‘I have to show off my skills and win her over!’ Liam thought to himself determinedly.

The four of them, each holding their phone, began playing as if nobody else was around. It was a pretty odd sight in a bar…

Christopher and Xavier couldn’t look away from Renee and her friends.

’Julian?” Christopher frowned, a little surprised. “The guy rarely appears in public, but he actually knows Renee?”

Xavier was confused. “Who is Julian? Why does he look like Stefan? It’s obvious that Renee still can’t get over Stefan, so she found someone who looks just like him.”

‘Of course he’d look like Stefan – Stefan is Julian’s uncle,” Christopher explained.

Xavier’s jaw dropped. “I never knew Stefan had a nephew. He even looks so much like him! Why hasn’t Stefan ever mentioned him?”

‘That’s because the Hunt family kicked Julian’s family out. They don’t acknowledge them. However, Julian is very capable, and is a genius in developing chips. The famous chief engineer and the largest shareholder of KCL, Mr. Y, is Julian!” Christopher said softly, his eyes gleaming.

“So he’s the famous Mr. Y!” Xavier’s eyes were wide in shock.

There were plenty of rumors that Mr. Y had an ‘unusual’ relationship with Stefan. In fact, some even claimed that they got married abroad.

Surprisingly, this ‘unusual’ relationship was actually a familial one.

That explained why KCL Group only supplied their chips to H Group.

These two companies had a complementary relationship. Without KCL’s chips, H Group wouldn’t have been as successful, but without H Group’s financial support, KCL wouldn’t have been able to make the technological breakthroughs they always did. Thus, they were inseparable.

’The dude looks like an extreme nerd though. He’s actually playing games with Renee. Huh, I always thought Mr. Y was a sophisticated elite. I bet he’s only taking the credit of being KCL’s chief engineer…

He probably hires someone else to do the work.” Xavier watched the four of them, still unable to associate Julian with Mr. Y.

‘A chief engineer is still human. He’d also have to eat, sleep, and do all the things we usually do.

Besides, science freaks are normally gaming addicts. I’m sure you’d be surprised by his other identity…” Christopher said cryptically.
