471: Documentary (Part Two)

Documentary (Part Two)

Hazel smacked James on the shoulder and said, "What are you saying? Slow down, mister!" 

James chuckled as he watched her cheeks blush. He stopped teasing Hazel after seeing his girlfriend feel embarrassed. He petted her head and then pulled Hazel close, letting her rest her head on his shoulder as they continued watching the documentary. 

Meanwhile, Tim sniggers, witnessing all of this drama. He was mocking Jake for being a jerk. He was too jealous that Hazel found a boyfriend who doted on her. Jake could only glare at Tim. He could not rebuke the annoying guy as he's truly an idiot.

Realizing his stupidity, the only he could do was feel hopeless and regretful in his heart.

Anyway, as the show carried on, it displays a brief story about Hailee's ancestors from Davies' side were no longer a secret to the world. In fact, their family was written in history as warlords from ancient times. They were great rulers of many kingdoms throughout Europe because of cross marriages.

However, Hailee's forefather, a Briton, elopes with a lady of a noble family from France who is engaged to a Duke of Russia.

The couple joined the expedition toward the South pole, where they found the land was now called Australia. Aboard a ship and anchored in a town called Broome, the couple makes friends with locals. Hailee's forefather gathered a group of natives, enslaved people, and a few British Royal soldiers for an expedition from Broome to nearby villages, crossing several deserts and lakes until they settled in Lake Carnegie.

Hailee's forefather used his knowledge to teach the native men to build houses out of bricks. He teaches them how to make them. As well as irrigation to their farm, better transportation, bridges, and a lot more.

Then, his wife learned the native language, and slowly she taught them to speak English and French. 

As years passed, exploring more parts of the land, Hailee's forefathers started mining and owning a vast land called Meadow Town, now called Dream City. 

Hailee's forefathers also started several industries that brought a great economy to the land. 

The first part of the documentary mostly features Hailee's family. Before it ended, they played a teaser regarding the Shen family.

In an interview, Vincent's great-grandmother of a distant relative spoke about the history of their Clan.

"The Shen has a long history, and the government wanted to keep an official record about us, acknowledging our existence as descendants of once a great imperial family dynasty. The country is planning to honor all the remaining descendants of the dynasties. However, it is all up to the new Head of the Clan. I don't know if my great-grandson Vincent will accept this recognition." 

"Elder Shen, I used to hear that Shen is not your real surname? Why does your ancestor have to change their surnames?" 

"Well, our family ruled C Nation for almost three hundred years. We defeated several kingdoms and set up many provinces with our Imperial Governors. However, the Wu clan plotted to eliminate the entire family. With careful planning by my forefather, the late Emperor Xing, he sought the Xu kingdom's help, for whom the Imperial crowned princess was married to the Xu crowned prince. Our ancestor, the young imperial prince, was saved and fled to continue the bloodline of the Imperial Xing family." 

With that remark, the first part of the episode ended. Those who watched the documentary were left awed by the information they had just heard.

"Did I hear correctly?" One netizen posted on her social media with the link to the first part episode of Shen and Davies's Journey a Love Story Documentary.

"Don't tell me, CEO Vincent Shen is from the Imperial family?!"

"Let me browse the history!"

At that very moment, millions of netizens dug into the history of C Nation. They found out that the Xing Dynasty was the second to the last dynasty before the imperial throne ultimately ended after a massive rebellion.

"Oh, gosh! Our queen is married to an emperor!"

"CEO Vincent Shen is the living emperor!"

"They were definitely a match made in heaven! Both are from noble families!" 

"The Royal families!" 

As the world was shocked, people from P Country, who was well known for the influence of the Lopez family, were only a bit surprised. They've witnessed the lifestyle of the Lopezes in the past hundred years. And now that it revealed Shen's true bloodline, they were very proud of Vincent. 

"Wow! I could not believe that our man has more to reveal!" Lloyd exclaimed. There is also a viewing party at M Resort with Shen Group bosses and employees with Lopez and Shen's friends and relatives.

Fraine organized it with Zaijan and Rodney's help since it also included their family history.

"Have you heard of this?" sat at the table close to the stage; Rodney asked Zaijan.

Zaijan pulled the corner of his mouth as he teased Rodney, "Are you talking to me now?"

Rodney glared at Zaijan. It was indeed a mistake that he spoke to him when, until now, he could not accept what Zayn did to Fraine.

"Humph! I still hate you!"

Zaijan heaves a helpless sigh. "Do you not figure out yet why I did it?"

"I'm not interested!"

Zaijan shook his head when Rodney still acted like a child. "You are too childish."

"Stop talking to me!" Rodney bellowed. He stood on his feet and kept a distance from Zaijan.

Zaijan was left speechless. Rodney's childish behavior makes things complicated when it is supposed not. 

"When will this guy mature?" he mumbled.

Back in Dream City, loud applause filled the dining hall. The guests invited to the viewing party stood up and approached Vincent and Hailee's table.

"It was beautiful!"

"Ah, boss Vincent is a real king!" Hazel shrieked. 

"Are you not listening? The Shen's are from the imperial bloodline." Liza corrected Hazel, knocking her head. 

"Ah! I can't wait for the next episode!" Nadia chimed in.

"Me too! Sadly, we have to wait another week!" Hazel echoed.

"It was pure torture! I want to watch the whole documentary!" said Liza, which was concurred by Hazel and Nadia.

Meanwhile, the other girls surrounded Hailee and were bombarded with questions. 

"Hail, have you heard about this?" asked Kelly, curious. 

Hailee nodded and replied to Kelly, "Vincent told me. Also, Shun knew it already since he held all the information of all Royal families." 

"A crucial secret that the world needs to know." Cassandra chimed in with a mysterious smile that only Madison understood.

"Indeed, Mama!" Madison concurred, sharing a knowing look. 

And listening to the other ladies, Hazel approached Hailee and whispered in her ear. 

"Hail, there is no doubt that Madam Hilda is an Empress Dowager! No wonder she acted like one ever since!"

On the other side of the world…

A bottle of champagne flew and landed on a giant TV screen hung on the wall, which caused the appliance to shatter. 

"I told you to erase that data!"

The men in the corner shivered when their master screamed at them.

"Master, our best hacker could not go through ATHENA. No one ever defeated Master Crow's security system." 

"Just say that you are all useless! Simple job. No one can do it properly!"

The men remained silent from the scold. They could not retort that it was impossible to break through to their software.  2

Their master wished for the documentary data to steal and crashed it afterward so that they could not release it to the public. But they failed to do so. 

"Get out! All of you!" 

'Shun Crow's men sure are too loyal to him!' 

It infuriates him that he could not bribe anyone any longer.  Fortunately, he managed to brainwash Liam, but he is no longer useful to him now.
