Chapter 169: Elizabela Monteiro

It was still very early when Ingrid went to the training room and started meditating, using the Qi technique.

Like strands of spider web, only red, Ingrid was pulling the Qi of Heaven and Earth towards her. Her body pores were all open, sucking in Qi.

Like an explosion of energy waves, Ingrid's body glowed and burst forth with red light. However, this was not because she went up to the Second Order. Although it was a lot of Qi, it was not enough to break the Second Order barrier, but it did not mean that it was useless, because thanks to this, she directed Qi to her body, and managed to get 29 times stronger in her body.

"Sigh..."

Ingrid was dripping with sweat. She sighed and stood up with regret.

"Well, it was better than nothing..." Ingrid tried to comfort herself as she walked towards the bedroom.

Arriving at Luan's room, Ingrid took a shower in the bathroom and left with a towel. Picking up a set of clean clothes to work with, she got dressed and left.

Upon arriving at the Headquarters of Dimas Corporation, Ingrid entered with Maira while they talked and smiled.

Karol Oliveira was a socialite who came through the back door to try to get close to Luan when she heard that he was going to work as CEO. She had always been in love with him since she was young, as she was the daughter of the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer). Despite being 2 years older, she had known Luan from a young age and studied at the same school as him. But with the arrival of Ingrid...

Karol Oliveira was so furious that she couldn't swallow any food, her lungs almost bursting with rage, however, she could only persevere. There was nothing she could do about it at the moment.

"Tsk, even managed to bewitch Ms. Maira Dimas. This Ingrid is a vixen." Next to Karol, Ariana Gonsalves tried to suck up to her by speaking ill of Ingrid. After all, she also envied Ingrid, but she knew she was not as beautiful as she was, nor as gifted as she was. Even when it came to work, although they spoke ill of her, saying she hadn't even gone to college, many knew, especially in their sector, how professional Ingrid was.

"Luan must be just playing with her. After he gets tired, she will be the first to get a foot in the ass." Of course, Karol did not believe what she had just said. She knew Luan's character and knew he wasn't like that, but if she didn't say that, should she have admitted defeat?

No, she would never do that! She had loved him for several years and even though he was now dating, she would not give up on him. After all, they weren't married yet; they were just dating, weren't they?

Comforting herself, Karol snorted in disgust towards Ingrid and went back to doing her job.

The marketing supervisor, Elizabela Monteiro, was passing by when she heard Karol's whisper. Although she was not from a family as prominent as Karol, she was not far behind. Vesides, she had never liked Karol, and hearing what she said irritated her.

"Tsk, did you think you could win Luan with that face? Luan is actually the boyfriend of Secretary Ingrid, haha ..." Elizabela rejoiced, "Do you know Ingrid? Have you met her before?

Your appearance is totally incomparable with hers. You are literally a ghost. You can work as a slave and carry Luan's shoes, and he still won't choose you."

Embarrassment passed over Karol's face.

With that, Elizabela felt intensely satisfied. She turned her heel and marched off.

'Elizabela, you bitch, you'll pay for that!' Karol cursed in her mind as she clenched her teeth tightly.

It was close to 1 o'clock in the afternoon when Ingrid received a video call. On the iPhone screen she got from Luan, Luan's image appeared.

"Hi, how are you? How is everything there?" Luan asked quietly.

"It's okay..." Maybe because Luan had whispered, she ended up whispering too.

Luan laughed a little and asked, "It must already be lunch time there. Have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah." Ingrid nodded, like a lovely maiden, "I already ate."

"That's nice," Luan said, "I will be back in 1 to 2 days. I may not be able to communicate until then. Take care."

"Okay..." Even when the screen went dark when the call ended, Ingrid stared at the cell phone screen, lost in her own thoughts.

Ingrid was having lunch at Luan / Maira's office, and as she took the call, Maira was in the bathroom.

"Was it Luan?" Maira asked when she returned. Although she did not hear specifically what Ingrid said, since she spoke softly, she still heard whispers.

"Yes, he said he'll be back in 1-2 days. Until then, he doesn't know if he will be able to communicate with us," Ingrid replied.

"Is it because of the dimensional cracks it opened in Germany?" Maira still remembered seeing this on the news. "If it is, there is a good chance that he is killing some monsters, since 4 dimensional cracks opened at the same time in Germany."

Ingrid thought and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask about it, but thinking about it now, it's really possible it's because of it."

"By the way, wherever he goes, these cracks appear. Is it possible because he has so much power, are dimensional cracks attracted to him?" Maira has thought about this before. After all, until now, Brazil was one of the countries that had the most dimensional cracks.

Ingrid was unable to refute this theory. She herself had already come to think of it. Perhaps it was like Maira said: where there were more massive amounts of Qi would be the places that would attract dimensional cracks.

Now with the emergence of the game: Online Survival, which Luan had made, Brazil, which was the main country to play this game and that managed to increase its strength the fastest, being in the lead, although the difference was not so alarming, perhaps this was the reason that some of the dimensional cracks were opening, even when Luan left Brazil. Despite not being very dangerous, just yesterday a dimensional crack had appeared in S?o Paulo.
