"I...""You..."It took them some time to react. But as they did, they realized their bodies were tangled together in an awkward embrace.Even Ethan seemed a bit flustered.Eventually, Londyn was the first to react. She pushed herself hastily off the ground, attempting to stand up. But as soon as she moved, a fresh wave of pain shot up her ankle, causing her to let out a small cry."A..."Once again, she fell onto Ethan's chest."Oof..."Although Londyn was not heavy, her fall exerted a certain force that made Ethan quite uncomfortable. However, seeing her pain-stricken face, he had no choice but to support her, gently helping her to sit on the ground."Are you okay?"Noticing the swelling on Londyn's ankle, Ethan reached out to examine it, but Londyn panicked and quickly pushed his hand away."I... I'm okay!"However, Ethan's face turned serious as he studied her ankle."Looking at you now, it seems like your ankle might be dislocated. If not treated in time, it could leave a permane
Feeling Ethan's gaze on her, a hint of blush appeared on Londyn's face. Even though she had initially suggested that he stay, she was now feeling a bit flustered.However, she managed to keep her composure and simply nodded in response."Why don't I take the outside? Anyway, my leg still hurts. If I wake up, I won't disturb you."Hearing Londyn's response, Ethan quickly shook his head."No, you should take the inside, and I'll sleep on the outside. Our daughter often wakes up at night, and with your current condition, it's inconvenient for you to move around. I can get up and take her to the bathroom!"Having made his decision, Ethan paid no heed to Londyn's surprised look, and casually laid down, closing his eyes.Seeing Ethan now, Londyn felt a mix of irritation and affection.Irritated because he didn't seem to respect her opinion. He had asked her preference, and then had ignored it, making his own decision.Affection because she realized how much Ethan cared for her. He was conce
"Woof woof!"As Ethan's party crossed the temple gate, a pack of dogs inside started barking loudly. However, all three of them paid no heed to the dogs, heading straight for a tiled house positioned slightly to the right of the gate."At last, you have arrived!"Seeing Ethan, the man showed no surprise. Instead, his eyes flashed with an exciting spark as he shouted to Ethan.At his behavior, all three were left puzzled.However, before they could speak, the man suddenly shut the room door tightly, checking carefully around him. Finally, satisfied no one was observing, he sighed a little."I'm truly sorry, but this matter is extremely crucial to me. So, I didn't want anyone else to hear it."On hearing this, Ethan, Fox, and Spinel exchanged glances. Fox, seemingly annoyed at the man's actions, snapped."Stop playing games with us. What's so important that you had to call our Captain here? Could it be, you already know who the anonymous letter writer is?"Fox's words were a mere specul
"Wow, wow, Captain, take a look! That's a Ferrari 812 Superfast limited edition. I heard that one has to pre-order from the company half a year in advance. Moreover, including import taxes, this car would cost at least twenty billion!"Spotting a dazzling red vehicle parked near the hotel's main entrance, Fox couldn't help but exclaim with excitement.His outburst attracted quite a few curious glances. Noticing Fox's dyed red hair and multiple earrings, the onlookers sneered. Clearly, in their eyes, Fox was an inexperienced playboy, hence his loud behavior in front of the hotel.Many onlookers started to grow wary, fearing Fox would act out and damage their vehicles.Consequently, the hotel's security team quickly moved in, scrutinizing the trio of Ethan, Fox, and Spinel."May I ask who you gentlemen are? Do you have an invitation?"Seeing the security's standoffish demeanor, Ethan gave Fox a side-glance. Fox immediately recoiled a bit, realizing his previous outburst had caused this
Hearing Fox's words, Aidan's expression changed slightly, but he soon laughed aloud."Brat, despite your young age, you sure talk big. Relying on a snot-nosed brat like you to wipe out my Azure Dragon gang? Who gave you such audacity?"As he spoke, Aidan's aura began to surge. His body moved fluidly, lunging at Fox with a punch.Boom!Aidan punched with an air of nonchalance, believing Fox could not possibly block his strike.But before Aidan could celebrate, Fox threw his own punch. It came after Aidan's but arrived first. Thus, before Aidan's fist could reach Fox, Fox's hand had already landed a direct hit on Aidan's chest.Boom!Fox
Crash!Just as fast as Aidan had charged forward, his body was now flung back at an equally terrifying speed, landing precisely on a group of his bodyguards.Thump!Before the guards could even react, they were swept off their feet by the rebounding force, tumbling onto the road. It took several rolls for them to finally come to a stop.Screech...At that moment, a car approaching from afar saw the men sprawled across the road and made an abrupt stop. A middle-aged man with a furious expression hastily flung the car door open, storming towards Aidan's men, yelling."What the hell are you guys doing? You got a death wish? You could have ended up under my wheels!"
"Go, hurry, and get Aidan medical attention!"Aidan's underlings swiftly acted at Finn's command, whisking him off to the hospital.Finn's gaze shifted at that moment, landing on Ethan and his companions."Was it you lot who caused all this trouble?"Finn had heard from his subordinates about a conflict with the security outside, about a fight with Aidan instigated by these people. This provocation pushed Aidan into a rage and led to the clash with Bellamy, the personal bodyguard of the young master from the Steven family.Because of this, Finn's attitude towards Ethan and his group was nothing short of hostile."Watch your words, old man. Who's here to cause trouble? My boss just wanted to attend the charity auction.It's the person of your dog-eyed masters who can't see the ivory and wanted us to leave.Or do you think my boss is not worthy of attending today's auction?"Despite being injured, Fox was defiant, bellowing at Finn.Finn felt a flicker of unease at these words. However,
Most esteemed guests were in the grand hall on the 61st floor of the New Hanbok Hotel.All who were invited to today's charity auction were significant figures in New Hanbok.Some were city officials. Others were owners of the province's leading businesses.Under normal circumstances, gathering them for an event would be a challenging task. A mere gesture or step from them could cause significant upheaval in New Hanbok.Yet, here they were, gathered in numbers.Even some underworld bosses were present at this charity auction.While the "great characters" were engrossed in discussions about the auction, in an unnoticed corner of the grand hall, three young individuals, two males, and one female, were seated.Apart from a red-haired youth with a somewhat erratic demeanor, the other two exuded remarkable calm.They were not conversing, silently observing the unfolding scenes around them."Captain, inviting even underworld figures to this charity auction, how bizarre.Knowing that they la
