"Oh..." Receiving a concise response that required no elaboration, Valerie felt a bit taken aback.

Benjamin chuckled and added, "Is there something peculiar that you need to inquire about, Val?"

"Yes," Valerie nodded once. "I observed you cooking with the finesse of a master. It seems odd that you've mastered these cooking techniques as a non-expert. Did you happen to receive formal culinary training?"

"Well, no. Never took any formal cooking classes," Benjamin responded, casually transferring the stir-fried vegetables into the serving bowl.

Valerie felt that the response wasn't quite sufficient, so she pressed on, "Then, how did you acquire this type of cooking skill?"

Benjamin took a moment before replying, his gaze shifting as he mulled over his response. Revealing that his culinary prowess was mysteriously passed down through generations in the family heirloom was out of the question. Valerie wouldn't grasp the enchantment behind it, and he harbored no desire to unravel this mysti

You go ahead and enjoy your meal," Benjamin suggested to Valerie, rising from his chair.Valerie turned her head, then asked, "Who called?"A smile graced Benjamin's lips as he simply responded, "Just an old friend."Valerie was on the verge of posing another question, but Benjamin had already risen and departed from the dining room.

    After hanging up the call with Benjamin, the man who was sitting behind the desk without delay immediately contacted Lebron."Lebron, meet me in my office immediately," Joshua said firmly, then immediately turned off the phone without waiting for Lebron's answer.Shortly thereafter, the tall and burly man opened the door and greeted Joshua, "Mr. Wilson, do you have any orders for me?"Lebron, who was originally on the first floor of the Frost family's residence in Regal Hill, immediately got up and went to Joshua's study when he got the order to appear."There are directives from Master Frost," Joshua motioned for Lebron to take a seat across from him before continuing, "Master Frost harbors suspicions regarding the Luther family and has tasked us with conducting an investigation.""Wait, the Luther family?"Lebron was stunned.

    A black SUV came to a halt on a desolate road about a kilometer away from the Luther family residence. The Luther home stood at a considerable distance from the rest of the neighborhood, situated on a vast piece of land that served as a substantial buffer from the surrounding area."You guys are okay with walking a kilometer or so?" Lebron asked them.He had deliberately stopped far enough away because if he advanced another two hundred meters, there might be an overseer of the Luther family villa who saw them coming."No problem, captain," replied Claire, on behalf of her friends.Lebron looked around. As far as the eye could see, no one was passing by. It was so quiet that Lebron could hear the sound of birds calling to each other."After passing through this housing complex, you go straight north. Later you will find a house with a very large yard with many guards at the gate. That's the Luther family villa," Lebron explained.Claire, Jenny, and Maria nodded. The three of them got

    "I don't believe this is the right decision, Claire," Jenny whispered. She continued walking, tightly gripping Claire's arm. Fear had seized her heart and mind. Don't fault Jenny for her apprehension. The reality before them was undeniably daunting."There, calm down, Jenny. I promise there won't be anything," Claire said, trying to reassure her two friends.Claire could feel Jenny and Maria's palms holding her hand starting to sweat as they got closer to the two men carrying bottles of alcohol. Claire glanced anxiously at her two friends, then sighed."Claire, they're getting closer," Maria squeaked, very quietly, as if she was afraid that the two men would hear her."When we cross paths with them, be calm. Everything will go well even if they look for trouble with us. Trust me, we're not just any women, we're trained troops!"Claire, Jenny, and Maria tightened their grip on each other as they passed by the two men.

  • Benjamin's Heirloom Ring   Run out of Toothpaste

    Valerie's house, almost midnight.Like his old habit, Benjamin would brush his teeth before going to bed.However, when Benjamin went to the bathroom, he found that the toothpaste had run out.Benjamin absentmindedly scratched his head, even though there was no itch while muttering to himself, "It just occurred to me. Yesterday, I sliced open the toothpaste tube to scrape out the last bits of jam, and now I don't have it anymore."Believing that Valerie must have a substantial supply of toothpaste or at least one tube in her bathroom, she hurriedly exited her room. In the hallway leading to the kitchen, she encountered Valerie, who oddly enough, was holding a toothbrush.She took the initiative to greet, "Hey, Ben, aren't you asleep yet?"In response to the friendly greeting, Benjamin replied, "Not yet. I came to find you.""Oh, really?" Valerie raised her eyebrows. "I was actually hoping to catch you and inquire if you have any spare toothpaste. Mine ran out, and I don't have any in

    "You demon man!"The two drunk men widened their eyes in disbelief. They called Benjamin a demon because he had magical powers that could not be explained by human logic. They were very sure that Benjamin was not an ordinary human like them.Annoyed, the man with the revolver threw his revolver in a final attack.Benjamin swiftly caught the small revolver. Laughing crisply, he asked, "Don't you have any other bullets?"The two men did not answer. They looked at each other as if they were communicating through what was implied in their gazes.The two drunk men tried to run away. However, Benjamin moved faster. Benjamin grabbed their back collars and pulled them until the two big men fell to the ground."Where do you think you are going?" Benjamin asked with a grunt.

Despite his explicit directive for her to stay put and avoid descending, Valerie couldn't help but catch wind of the unfolding events."I heard there were five shots in total. Were you hit by any of those shots, Ben?" Valerie pressed once more. Her sense of ease hinged entirely on Benjamin's ability to offer a convincing reassurance.Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. "Not a single bullet found its mark on me," he responded nonchalantly. Benjamin extended both arms, executing a casual twist of his body, a physical demonstration aimed at reassuring Valerie.
