MTL - Pretend To Be a Boss - Chapter 371v2 Showdown on the Holy Mountain

“What exactly is the point of this life of mine?”Lukas Brandt thought to himself as he chugged down a cup of Wheat beer in a local pub in Darmstadt.He had always dreamt of being a professional footballer, he fell in love with the sport when he watched his country Germany beat the Argentine national team in the World Cup final in 2014, with memories of his father hugging him tightly after Mario Gotze scored the goal that gave them the cup.He had been 7 back then, currently 36, but his biggest regret was giving up at the first sight of failure at 15.He had given up his dream of one day representing his country, and died (un)fortunately while trying to save a kid.Waking up 20 years younger and with a system, follow Lukas' journey from an SV Darmstadt 98 academy reject, to undoubtedly the greatest footballer of all time.Set in an alternate universe so some names and events will obviously be changed massively, else it'll just be a biography of a real life player :⁠')

[Matured Content]Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria.But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love. Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him. But then, the other one comes instead. Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage. Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize. Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince. But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart! Or could he? ________“What can you offer me, little human,” He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything. “Please,” She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, “Just let me go.” “Fine,” He shrugged as if it was an easy request, “You can go.” “W-what?” She croaked, finding it hard to believe. “Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily.” Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath. But did he really mean? Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet. She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming. Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake. This was never freedom. It was a hunt. And she just became the prey.

[Entertainment circle + cool text + vest + real and fake daughter + double strong sweet pet]

Suddenly, she encountered an accident, and once she passed through the book, she became an 18th-line cannon fodder female supporting role that is popular on the Internet, and she is still a fake daughter who is not as good as the heroine in the book.

Black fan: Our Feifei’s acting skills crushed Shiran!

The next day, Shiran’s first drama aired, and the seven-second shot became popular on the Internet, overshadowing the lead actress Shi Wenfei.

After that, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and he won the best actress trophy in one fell swoop.

Black fan: Our Feifei sings well and can write lyrics, so what?

Top Streamer: To win the Best Golden Melody Award this time, I am most grateful to my gold medalist composer @时然.

Black fans:! ! !

One day when Shiran was broadcasting live, black fans frantically poured in, and the barrage of abuse filled the barrage.

Black fan: Our Feifei is engaged to the young master of the Zhou family! The fiancé is tall, rich and handsome and still dotes on her, unlike you, no one loves you!

“Honey, where are my things?”

The man’s deep and magnetic voice silenced the barrage.

In the next second, a man with a monstrous appearance appeared in front of the camera.

Everyone was shocked!

It turned out to be Chu Jinchen, the future patriarch of the first family!

The man’s black eyes swept across the barrage, pretending to be puzzled, “The Zhou family? I don’t know you.”

Shi Ran looked at someone in Versailles: “I’m live broadcasting.”

“How about a live broadcast that’s more interesting?” As he spoke, the man leaned closer and behaved intimately.

The audience showed their aunts and smiled.

As soon as the camera goes dark, the live broadcast is turned off.

The audience pounded on the keyboard frantically: Slam! Ask for a live broadcast!

The next day #影后公司恋情# was the top trending search.

Chu Jinchen: Baby is willing to disclose me!

Shi Ran: Are you sure you didn’t buy this hot search?

“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head became hazy and an intentional hot sweet sigh was pulled out of her.

‘How the hell did I get myself in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This never happened before.

‘Yeah, I remember.’

Her future in which she would become the fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family, and would be eaten to death—even down to her bone marrow. A future in which the Cartier ducal family is embroiled in a power struggle and fragmented.

To avoid that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, the archrival of her former life.

Yeah. There was no problem. She knew this man, before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

20-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or around 15 million in USD).

After going back in time, in order to avoid a hellish life because of debt, she becomes the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, the archenemy of her master.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“…… huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either. That her information transaction would become a marriage contract.
