Jiyong's stance for now was to neither accept nor reject his sister's offer. He had always trusted her abilities as a world-class hacker but allowing her to join in his path of revenge was another matter that needed careful consideration. Besides, his original path of revenge required some drastic modifications as well.

Jennie didn't force him to accept her offer right away either. There would definitely be a time that he would need to borrow her skills as a hacker.

Luka was powerful but still immature in so many ways. So was Louis. Her two cat AI children would definitely join the war against the Vetrovs' enemies but both of them still had a lot of growing up to do before that.

There were multiple methods that she could use to power up all of them but everything would be easier with her brother's full cooperation. He knew more things about the enemies than she did.

If they wanted to completely defeat those enemies, they couldn't do it alone. They needed to work together.

"Think about it some more, Big Brother," she told him. "Just remember that regardless of our different personal values, we have the same motivation—to destroy all the enemies and protect the families that we built in this life."

"Hm, alright," he finally replied.

Jennie smiled and then rushed into his arms. When her brother hugged her back, it felt like home. Her old home. Her brother, Nikolai, was more of a parent to her than their mother and father in their past life.

She rubbed her face against his chest. His appearance and physique might be completely different from what she remembered in their past life but the warmth of her brother's embrace remained the same.

Jiyong chuckled and stroked her long hair. "You're already a grown woman, not to mention a mother, and yet you still dare to act like a little girl."

"It's because you're my big brother."

His gaze softened. "Yeah. I'll always be your big brother."

A week before Donghwi and Mao Qiu's scheduled wedding date, a large portion of their most important invited guests received another invitation.

This time, it was an invitation to an exclusive gala hosted by Mingyu to celebrate the national shooting team's silver medal win at the World Shotgun Championship. He was one of the coaches of the team.

Included in the gala invitation were the national team's sponsors. The main one was Manoban Corporation.

The gala was scheduled at the same exact date and time as Donghwi and Mao Qiu's wedding.

When a portion of their invited guests received Mingyu's gala invitation, they immediately understood that it was a deliberate shady move to undermine the wedding. It wasn't a secret that Mingyu launched a defamation lawsuit against Donghwi and eventually won the case.

Mingyu might generally be a low-key person but he was nonetheless an agricultural tycoon in his own right. In terms of wealth and influence, he was leagues above Donghwi's current status. Mingyu was already an emperor of his own agriculture empire while Donghwi could only be considered as a crown prince with an unstable foundation. His other siblings including Jennie Kim were also vying for their father's throne.

A group of the wedding guests immediately cancelled their attendance in advance and planned to attend Mingyu's gala instead.

Even when Mingyu's own prestige as an agricultural tycoon was taken out of the equation, just the fact that he was hosting a victory gala for the national shooting team was already enough reason to attend his gala instead of Donghwi's wedding.
