The next morning, the front page of Wondernow carried a striking photograph, Raven and Aidan standing side by side at Nexus. The headline was sharp and deliberate.
Two masterminds meet at Nexus. Is Miss Zhao's rapid rise tied to Master Azure?
The article did not state it outright, yet the implication was clear enough. Those who knew how to read between the lines had laid bare Aidan's identity.
Raven read it in silence.
The faint curve at the corner of her lips betrayed neither surprise nor displeasure. Her gaze remained fixed on the screen as she spoke, calm and unhurried.
"Launch the WeiweiX line."
Secretary Wan inclined her head and left without a word.
An hour later, the result arrived unexpectedly.
Every item was gone.
Across the city, notifications surged. Orders flooded in faster than the system could register. Within sixty minutes, the entire WeiweiX cosmetic line was sold out.
