Chapter 131 - Hidden Intentions
On the day of the much-anticipated hunting event hosted by the Scott Company, the morning greeted everyone with radiant sunshine. The sky was a clear blue, and birds chirped melodiously, flying freely. Participants gathered at a helipad not far from the Scott Company's office, ready to embark on the adventure.The hunting event was set in a forest nestled within a secluded part of the city, accessible only by air due to its remote location. This added an element of exclusivity and excitement to the event. Everyone arrived dressed in full hunting attire, embracing the spirit of the occasion.Zane, known for his composure and style, was no exception. He chose black jeans and a neatly tucked-in white t-shirt as his base layer, topped with an army green jacket that suited the outdoor activity perfectly. His attire was complemented by a pair of sturdy black leather boots, designed to handle the rugged terrain of the forest. sunglasses hung casually around his neck, adding to his cool

Chapter 132 - Rivalries and Challenges
After a while, their journey came to an end as the helicopter touched down on a helipad.The hunting location was not a wild forest, but rather an area managed specifically for hunting purposes.As the helicopter ceased its humming and the door swung open, they disembarked. In a moment of unintended synchrony, Aaron and Zane both reached out their hands to assist Claire in stepping down from the helicopter."Oh, thank you," Claire said, accepting their hands simultaneously. She was careful not to offend or disappoint either of them, showing her appreciation with grace.Leading the way, Claire walked ahead while Zane and Aaron followed, walking side by side behind her. Aaron, seeing an opportunity, decided to strike up a conversation with Zane. His intention was clear: to assert dominance and belittle Zane."Mr. Gardner, it seems you're quite close with Claire," Aaron remarked, his tone carrying an edge of condescension.Zane responded calmly, unaffected by Aaron's underlying intent

Chapter 133 - Into the Wilderness
As the hunting event kicked off and the participants ventured into the forest, the anticipation among the onlookers was palpable. Conversations swirled around Claire's decision to accompany Zane, with many expressing concern for her safety."It's such a pity. Why would Ms. Claire propose something like that? She's just going to burden herself.""Exactly, my worry is for Ms. Claire. What if something happens to her?""Do you think they'll make it back safely?""Quiet down, will you? What if Mr. Scott hears us speaking like this?""To be honest, I'm quite skeptical. Even with Ms. Claire's company, a woman's movements aren't as agile as a man's.""Zane has no prior experience. If they encounter a wild boar, Ms. Claire might panic, and it could end badly for her.""God, I hope any misfortune only falls on Zane, not Ms. Claire.""He's too naive, thinking everything will just work out.""People like Gardner, they need to face misfortune before they realize the reality."Caught up in the ch

Chapter 134 - A Compassionate Shot
As Zane drew closer, he spied through the gaps in the underbrush and realized it wasn't a wild boar but a young deer with light brown fur. Raising his right hand, he signaled to Claire that there was no danger.Claire lowered her weapon, her curiosity piqued by Zane's gesture.Zane approached the fawn and discovered it entangled in wire, panicking at his presence. Its attempts to flee only tightened the snare. Swiftly, Zane worked to free the fawn from its bindings.Relieved to see it was just a deer and not a threat, Claire let out a deep breath, her worry dissipating into a smile as she walked over to Zane. "Zane, it's a deer, and you chose to release it instead of making it your first hunt?" she asked."Hm," Zane replied with a smile, "wouldn't it be unfair to shoot it while it's trapped like this?""Is that really why you let it go?" Claire pressed.As the freed fawn scampered away, Zane said, "I don't know. I just felt sorry for it. It seemed to be pleading with us not to hurt

Chapter 135 - Unexpected Trials in the Wilderness
Before the wild boar charged towards Zane and Claire, there was another encounter in the dense foliage of the forest.Aaron and Paolo were navigating through the underbrush, alert and on the lookout for any signs of game. The quiet of their hunt was shattered by a sudden disturbance behind them—a large, black wild boar burst through the vegetation, charging directly at them with daunting speed."Bos, let me take the shot. Please, be careful," Paolo yelled toward Aaron, as Aaron raised his rifle, aiming at the oncoming threat. Paolo's warning was born out of concern; the boar was dangerously close to Aaron, and a misfire could provoke a deadly counterattack from the distressed animal.Ignoring Paolo's plea, Aaron's face broke into a smug grin, confident in his impending victory. "Paolo, quiet down. I'll be the one to win this," Aaron boasted, already picturing his triumph over Zane Gardner. "Soon, Zane Gardner will be out of here."Paolo was calculating his shot, trying to ensure sa

Chapter 136 - A Newcomer's Tale
Zane continued to carry Claire on his back as they neared their destination. The gathered crowd, waiting for the hunting party's return, spotted them from a distance. At that moment, Aaron and Paolo had yet to return."Isn't that Mr. Gardner and Ms. Claire? What happened to them?" murmured one onlooker, sparking curiosity among the others."What's going on with Mr. Gardner carrying her like that? Did she get hurt or something?" another person added, curiosity piqued.Upon hearing Claire's name, Charles's reaction was immediate and filled with concern. "Claire," he muttered under his breath, his face clouding over with worry for her well-being.Edward, observing the scene, couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and satisfaction. He assumed that Zane's early return indicated a lack of success in the hunt, perhaps failing to capture any game. In his mind, this contrasted sharply with Aaron, whom he believed had likely secured a significant number of catches due to his absence."Mr. S

Chapter 137 - The Novice's Triumph
On a bright Sunday morning, Zane adhered to his usual routine, starting his day with a morning workout followed by a steaming cup of cappuccino. Today was particularly special as it marked his first session training Lily Watson, the daughter of Prime Minister Jack Watson. This new responsibility came after Daniel Evans, Lily's Muay Thai coach and Zane's personal trainer at Elysium Sport Club, had to take a leave of absence due to an injury.Driving to the private residence of Prime Minister Jack Watson, Zane felt a mix of anticipation and responsibility. Upon arrival, he was greeted by the guards stationed at the front gate. They had been informed in advance of Zane's appointment that morning to train Lily, ensuring his smooth entry—a stark contrast to his first visit, which had involved a bit more formality and scrutiny.Zane stepping in as Lily's new coach sparked curiosity and skepticism among the staff and guards of the residence. After Zane entered the premises, a few of the

Chapter 138 - Unexpected Lessons
In the bright, spacious room, Zane and Lily stood opposite each other in the middle of the Muay Thai training ring, poised to begin their sparring session. Both were equipped with the necessary protective gear: gloves, head guards, and shin protectors. The air was charged with anticipation, yet there was a profound sense of mutual respect between them."Are you ready, Ms. Watson?" Zane inquired, his voice steady and encouraging."Absolutely," she replied with determination, her stance firm and ready.With his broad experience, Zane gestured for Lily to make the first move, inviting her to take the initiative. Initially hesitant, Lily quickly gathered her courage and launched a series of quick jabs towards Zane, aiming to breach his defense. Zane, poised and focused, effortlessly dodged and blocked her attacks, using the moment to observe and analyze Lily's movements, gauging her strengths and areas for improvement.Responding to Lily's aggression, Zane began to counter with a meas

Chapter 139 - Gifts of Gratitude: A Watchful Surprise
Zane and Lily sat side by side, while Jack and his wife faced them across the table. The impromptu lunch unfolded in a tranquil and warm atmosphere, a pleasant departure from formalities and an opportunity for genuine connection.Outside the dining room, the guards and servants continued to speculate about Zane's standing with the Watson family."It seems Mr. Jack really likes Gardner, doesn't it? He's treating Gardner quite specially," one servant observed, noting the evident favor Zane was receiving."Could it be possible that he's being considered as a match for Ms. Lily?" another mused, letting their imagination run wild with possibilities."Hey, that's jumping to conclusions. I think it's just to show appreciation for Gardner since he managed to heal Mrs. Jack," a more realistic voice interjected, trying to keep the speculation grounded."Yeah, it's unlikely. Gardner is just a commoner who happened to have a unique talent, but to think he'd be matched with Ms. Lily... I can't se

Chapter 140 - A Visit to Remember
On a particular evening, as the sky painted itself in shades of orange, signaling the end of the day, Zane wrapped up his work at the office. Normally, his routine would lead him from the office to his own restaurant and then to the gym for his regular workout session. However, that evening was marked by a special arrangement with Claire to visit her apartment.Glancing at his watch, which indicated it was already five in the evening, Zane swiftly organized his desk. He shut down his laptop, carefully placed it in his bag, and got ready to leave. Before stepping out, he grabbed his phone from the desk, scrolling through his contacts to find Claire’s number and dialed her.“Claire,” Zane greeted her warmly over the phone. “I’ve just finished up at work. I’ll be heading over to your apartment soon.”“That sounds wonderful, Zane. I’ll be waiting for you,” Claire responded, her voice filled with anticipation.In gratitude for being rescued by Zane during a hunting event, she pledged t
