Some time later, around 3 PM, Eller drove Wanda to a cafe.
The Kavaja Gallery had already reserved a table; they gave their names and were led by a waiter to a four-person table by the window.
"Please wait a moment, your coffee is being carefully prepared, and your desserts will be served shortly."
The waiter bowed slightly and then turned to disappear from Eller's sight.
Soon after, a stylishly dressed, black-haired woman approached Eller and Wanda.
She wore a dark green fur coat over a knitted dress, an orange silk scarf around her neck, a bronze belt at her waist, and even in the dead of winter, she wore black stockings and open-toed high heels, carrying a diamond-studded crocodile skin bag.
Eller could tell at a glance that this person was wealthy.
The woman sat down without any trepidation and pulled out a business card from her bag.
The business card was a simple white, with the person's name and position written on it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you both, I am Elisa, the new head of Kavaja Gallery." After introducing herself, Elisa noticed Eller's presence and proactively greeted him.
"I never expected to meet the most famous novelist in all of America here; it's truly a pleasant surprise."
Eller was not surprised that someone recognized him.
As time went on, his popularity would only increase, and he would complete over twenty novels this year, making his fame even greater.
"I'm just here to accompany my lover," Eller said calmly.
"If you need an autograph, let's take care of today's main business first."
At this moment, Eller suddenly felt a strange aura, like the foul smell of a wild animal.
His first suspicion fell on the woman in front of him.
But when Eller tried to probe whether Elisa was an ordinary person, he could feel a power influencing him.
Interesting… Eller thought to himself.
Although he couldn't be sure if Elisa was a member of HYDRA or another mystical force, Eller remained extra vigilant.
"Your autograph can't be bought with money."
Elisa seemed very talkative.
After gaining some of Eller's goodwill, she looked at Wanda and said, "You must be Scarlet, right?"
"Yes," Wanda nodded, "My real name is Wanda."
"Alright, Wanda," Elisa smiled slightly, then took out a contract from her handbag.
"Including you, there will be a total of seven painters participating in this exhibition, scheduled for February.
If a client takes a liking to your painting, the commission will be…"
Elisa explained the contents of the contract to Wanda, and Eller listened alongside them.
In short, Kavaja Gallery was organizing an exhibition to promote new artists, scheduled for late February, and Wanda needed to provide thirty works.
Besides that, there were some commission issues.
Overall, from Eller's perspective, there were no problems with the contract; he nodded towards Wanda.
Wanda understood Eller's meaning, but now she had only one concern, "Thirty works?
I currently only have about twenty that are presentable.
To produce nearly ten more in a month…"
"It's fine," Elisa interrupted Wanda's worries.
"If you're troubled, I can reduce the number.
After all, for exhibition pieces, we at Kavaja Gallery prioritize quality."
"Then I can agree." Hearing this, Wanda finally nodded in relief.
"That's great!" Elisa immediately beamed with joy.
She handed the draft contract to Wanda and then said, "You can keep this contract for now; a more formal contract will follow.
If you have no issues, I'll be leaving now.
I have another painter to meet with shortly.
You two can enjoy your coffee."
After saying this, Elisa hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Goodbye, Ms. Elisa," Eller and Wanda politely bid her farewell until Elisa disappeared from their sight.
Just then, two latte coffees were brought to Eller and Wanda by the waiter.
Wanda looked down at the steaming latte and delicate desserts and said, "Eller, do you think that woman named Elisa has a problem?"
"I have a feeling, but no proof," Eller looked at Wanda dotingly and comforted her, "Don't worry, with me here, you just need to enjoy the process of painting."
Wanda truly loved painting; the joy she felt after completing a work always showed on her face.
Since there was a good opportunity at hand, Eller would not let Wanda give it up.
As long as he dealt with anyone trying to cause trouble, it would be as if nothing happened.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Soon after, the elegantly dressed 'Elisa' arrived at a luxurious suite.
Green magic power surged, and the disguise of the urban beauty was lifted, revealing her true appearance.
The sexy and beautiful woman's forehead was covered in sweat, looking as if she had encountered something terrifying.
Seeing this, Dario Agger, ostensibly the CEO of Roxxon Oil Corporation, asked her, "I'm curious what kind of person would make the famous Viper, Ophelia, so disheveled."
"That guy's strength is growing at an alarming rate; now, a single glance from him can make me feel like I'm facing a formidable enemy," Viper wiped away her sweat with a tissue.
"If my magic wasn't so exquisite, he would have seen through me on the spot."
"That guy?" Dario hesitated slightly.
"Are you referring to Kamen Rider Geats?"
"It can only be him," Viper said through gritted teeth.
"This guy disappeared for a while and then became even stronger.
He has a power on him that I can't understand."
Kamen Rider Geats… Even just thinking of the name made Viper's head ache intensely.
For HYDRA to achieve their great ambition, they absolutely could not bypass Kamen Rider Geats.
However, Eller's rapid increase in strength also gave the HYDRA high-ranking officials a headache.
Especially since Eller could not be turned, HYDRA didn't even know how to entice him.
"Kamen Rider Geats…" Dario repeated the name several times, then suddenly had an idea: "Do you think there might be other Kamen Riders in this World?
How great it would be if there were Kamen Riders who could be enemies with Geats."
"Perhaps," Viper said, her head aching.
Just then, a message appeared on Viper's personal terminal.
[Whitehall: Breakthrough in time-travel technology.
The experimental team has brought back what you wanted from another World.]
The accompanying image was an ancient book with mysterious, snake-like runes on its cover.
"The darkhold from another World?!" Joy appeared in Viper's eyes.
She finally wouldn't have to fear that hateful Kamen Rider anymore.
