Chapter 657: Chapter 655: FIRST MEETING

Diamond looked at the woman in front of her who emitted a warrior vibe, and from head to toe, the other was simply screaming deadly.

How could a woman treat herself that way?

Didn’t she want to be feminine and enjoy the liberties of being called that way?

However, when she thought of what the other person was into, she could only smile and chide herself to mind her own business.

People do walk on different paths and she didn’t have the right to force others to live in a manner that they didn’t want or didn’t suit them.

Looking at this person, the chief she was supposed to meet, she couldn’t help but applaud her inside her heart.

At such a young age, she managed to be the head of such an extraordinary organization. She could imagine how capable and talented the other person was.

Since the other person was waiting for her, Diamond didn’t dilly dally but walked with a pace that wasn’t so bad and shortly found herself standing in front of the woman, who stood in a posture that might have taken ages to muster.

She stood tall like a tree with her back straight. Wasn’t her back hurting because of that?

"Chief Raya!" Diamond greeted the other, smiling, as she stretched her hand in a friendly manner.

The chief, who happened to be named Raya, didn’t feel startled when the other called her by name, even though she recalled never mentioning her name before.

Considering this person’s means and talents, there was no need to panic at all. She smiled at the other faintly, the best that she could do when facing someone. She stretched her hand to meet with Diamond’s as she responded, "Grandmaster Perry!"

Upon hearing that title once again, Diamond’s eyes squinted happily and didn’t bother to hide that from Raya for a moment before saying, "Don’t bother with the title. Just call me, Diamond!" correcting the other.

Even though the grandmaster sounded nice to the ears, it brought her a certain pressure which stifled her. She didn’t dare be uncomfortable just because she wanted to feel superior.

When Raya heard that, she looked at the other with disbelief but didn’t show it too much. Years of masking her emotions came into play.

"If you insist, then please call me Raya, as well!" Raya didn’t waste her time objecting but agreed quickly and insisted on the other calling her name directly.

Since Diamond had openly expressed her intentions of being friendly, there was no need and no reason why she should make things difficult.

After exchanging pleasantries, Raya brought Diamond to the private room she had reserved before.

This was Diamond’s first time coming to the hotel she owned a generous number of shares. She would be receiving March’s dividends in a week or so, and yet she had never visited the place since she acquired the shares.

So, she was quite interested in seeing the place, which was another source of income for her.

While she was admiring the room and the effort put into it, Raya was observing Diamond, who at a glance looked very simple. That’s if she ignored how good looking, she was.

By just looking at her, she screamed a vase with money. However, when taken seriously, one would notice that she wasn’t as simple as she looked.

For example, as someone who had cultivated from a young age, she was quite sensitive when it came to spiritual energy. And yet when facing Diamond, she could sense an abundant source of it which was well contained in her body.

Although she didn’t let it spill, her sensitivity worked its magic and she could sense it. And it was stronger than hers.

Although she wasn’t certain yet, she had an inkling that Diamond might not just be well versed in alchemy but in martial arts as well. But how could that be possible?

Anyway, that was something that she couldn’t easily ask unless the other party wanted her to know. For now, dealing with the matter which mattered was the reason why she was here.

Still, she couldn’t help herself but take another look at Diamond as she was sitting down.

Looking at her closely without any screen dividing them, the other person was truly a beauty.

For this meeting, Diamond was wearing a burgundy halter dress with a pair of black wedges. Her neck wasn’t adorned with anything but those earlobes, and her wrists showed otherwise.

It wasn’t anything fancy, to be honest. However, the bracelet and the earrings which seemed to be engraved with her name since she could see the DP on them matched her perfectly.

On her left hand, Raya couldn’t help but notice two rings which were both exquisite, especially the green jadeite signet ring. That must be her family ring, she surmised. The kind that cost several legs and arms.

She didn’t know if Diamond usually dressed like this with so many expensive jewelry pieces on her, but this was quite dangerous, especially if targeted by greedy thieves.

However, on second thoughts, there was no need for her to worry. There would be no way someone like her would not have people protecting her. She was more certain as she recalled the matter which had recently settled in the underworld.

Although she hadn’t seen who was protecting her secretly and which master that person was, it shouldn’t be just anyone.

Anyway, pushing that matter aside, her focus shifted to the young lady, who was now sitting in front of her with a smile.

Seeing that infectious smile, Raya was convinced about the reason why millions of people like her so much.

Her smile was alluring and soothing. It made the person seeing it feel drawn in and at ease.

"I am sorry for making you come this way, Raya. I hope that I didn’t interfere much with your work!" Diamond said apologetically as she looked at the other.

Raya smiled faintly at Diamond, not expecting Diamond to apologize.

She was the first grandmaster she had seen who didn’t put on airs. Although in Athary, there were three grandmasters, including Diamond, and she hadn’t seen much of the other two. It didn’t mean that she hadn’t come across any masters in her time serving in the organization.

Her country might be lacking, but what about other countries?
