With Lance and Scarlet both gone, only Jessica and Arthur remained on the balcony.Arthur gazed at Jessica, and Jessica was also looking at him, the sadness in her cold eyes challenging to conceal. The two stared at each other as if they had been separated for ages.Until Jessica suddenly spoke, her voice crisp and cold yet bearing the maturity of someone who had experienced many trials.She said, "Your eyes always remain so cold that it makes people hesitate to look straight at them."Arthur glanced at Lucia, who leaned against the balcony, her gaze fixed on the distant sky, and asked, "Did Raymond do anything to you?"Jessica smiled faintly and replied, "He didn't get the chance to do anything to me before you arrived. You always appear like a hero, descending when people despair." To me, you are that hero.Jessica thought to herself. She closed her eyes slightly, unsure whether she dared to face reality or Arthur.Arthur looked at her, realizing that times had changed and everyt

Crimson chuckled sinisterly, "On a cold moonlit night like this, going out at this hour, it's definitely up to no good."Arthur glanced at him, "You should be careful with your words before I lock you up in a book."Crimson quickly covered his mouth.Skyler mocked him while Amber continued to give her usual contemptuous look.After giving Crimson a disdainful glance with his arrogant eyes, Amber flew over to Arthur and asked, "Are you planning to deal with Scarlet's curse?"Arthur remained expressionless as he replied, "Do you suggest we let her die because of that curse?"Amber rolled her eyes, "That's not what I meant."After a pause, he added, "I'm just reconsidering it now. The scent of that curse feels oddly familiar."Arthur said, "Last time you had to eat your words..."Amber immediately raised her tail, "Don't bring that up again. Besides, this curse doesn't smell the same as before!"Skyler also furrowed his brows in thought, "You're right. Now that I think about it, the scen

Scarlet prepared everything as quickly as possible. Just as she stepped out the door, she saw Arthur's car parked in front of her mansion. She increased her pace to reach it.Arthur also seemed to have noticed her; he rolled down the car window and signaled for Scarlet to sit in the passenger seat. Scarlet exhaled and then opened the car window and got in.She looked at Arthur and asked, "I didn't make you wait long, did I?"Arthur started the car and casually replied, "No, it was right on time."Scarlet exhaled again and looked at Arthur curiously, asking, "Why are you driving today? Where's Lance?"Arthur responded, "He's busy at the company."It was only now that Scarlet remembered that she had overslept today and had an important morning meeting to attend. Lance must have taken care of these matters for her.Scarlet hesitated momentarily, furrowing her brows slightly, and couldn't help but wonder, "I don't know if I'm overthinking this, but it seems like you knew I would overs

Arthur's black official vehicle rolled along the streets.Asta's luxurious bar was not located in the city center either. This place was an entertainment resort offering all amenities with a breathtaking sea view.Many prominent figures gathered here, making it seem like a world of its own. Hence, the beach built this hidden bar, featuring a tranquil and somewhat remote atmosphere.Arthur occasionally glanced out the window as their car cruised down the road. The moonlight illuminated the vague silhouettes of two black cars tailing them.It was pretty hasty for a meticulous businessman like Asta to choose such an approach to eliminate him. Asta seemed willing to disregard everything to get rid of him, even resorting to a hurried method.Arthur furrowed his brow slightly and turned to Lance, saying, "Find an opportunity to lure them away."Understanding the plan, Lance nodded and drove calmly, gradually increas

The leader remained skeptical of Arthur's words, giving him a suspicious look. "Don't think you can deceive me. You're just trying to sow discord and take advantage of me," he said.Arthur didn't engage in a lengthy conversation with the leader. Instead, he stood up and approached him. He raised his hand and touched the leader's forehead.The leader became apprehensive, but in a moment, his eyes widened, and his pupils seemed to dilate almost to the point of breaking. He could sense that his body was suspended in a peculiar space that inhibited his normal movements, making him feel restrained.Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared before the leader, and instinctively, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his perspective had changed. It was now a top-down view.Everything in this view appeared distorted and surreal as if it were not part of the normal world. The leader saw himself tied to the chair, and even his form seemed ethereal in this perspective. A thick, dark mist coile
