Two opposing groups stood facing each other, and the smell of gunpowder seemed to permeate the air. The weak and feeble man trembling earlier had now regained his composure. He hurriedly ran upstairs, seeking refuge behind the leader.He stammered anxiously, "Leader, that guy, he... he seems to possess a special ability. You need to be cautious!"The leader glanced at the weak man who had nearly fainted from the pain of his shattered hands. He raised an eyebrow slightly and sneered, "Seems like no matter how powerful someone's ability is, they still fear bullets!"He had little belief that this man could command so many people yet fail to kill the two individuals before them.Louis looked sidelong at him and suddenly smiled, "It appears that you're not afraid of legal consequences, huh?"Laughter erupted from the group, and the leader responded mockingly, "If we can't even catch a glimpse of them, how could we fear any retribution from them?"Louis chuckled, "Oh, I see. Well, then,
Louis saw Natasha, his father's assistant, in his dream. She still had her calm and composed demeanor, exuding a professionalism emanating from her bones. She stood on the beach, her gaze fixed into the distance, her eyes filled with contemplative light.It was hard to tell her thoughts as a profound sense of difficulty marked her expression. Louis glided down and circled her. Her gaze remained fixed in the distance, unblinking.At that moment, a man's voice suddenly broke the silence, "Miss Natasha, the master is summoning you."Louis turned his head to see that the speaker was one of the bodyguards by his father's side. This man was not only skilled in combat but also proficient in driving and possessed a wealth of knowledge in business. He was practically a perfect aide.Natasha turned her head to look at him, nodded slightly, and said, "I'll be right there."With those words, she quickly headed towards Mr. Adonis' room.Passing by the bodyguard, the bodyguard suddenly spoke,
Louis looked at Matthew and said thoughtfully, "This dream of mine is incredibly realistic, from the scenery to the people. It's so real that I feel like I'm in an actual world, not a dream. I'm suspecting that I might be seeing the past."Matthew had a contemplative expression on his face.Louis looked at him and suddenly said, "I hope this time you won't lie to me, even with a single word."Matthew smiled and replied, "You should understand me like that. I last lied to you because I was thinking about your benefit. Any lie from me is carefully calculated to maximize your gain."Louis had a slightly amazed expression. Could it be that anything Matthew says to him is potentially a lie?Louis started to think about summoning someone else here and disregarding Matthew's assistance, as he had shown himself unreliable.Matthew seemed to understand Louis's thoughts. He chuckled and said, "Don't look so skeptical. I assure you this time, my words are genuine."Louis was skeptical of Matth
A man marched aggressively towards them, with a servant trying to restrain him. He wasn't particularly tall and had a rather repugnant demeanor.His face was far from handsome, and he even seemed somewhat frail.However, his temper was undoubtedly not to be underestimated, and his anger contorted his face into an almost grotesque expression devoid of any refinement.Louis noticed Scarlet's reaction as the man approached; her expression changed, showing signs of unease and discomfort. She even subconsciously clutched the edge of her dress and pursed her lips.Louis observed this and furrowed his brow slightly, intrigued. The man reached their table at this moment, and the servant futilely attempted to intervene.Frustrated, The servant said, "Sir, our establishment has a reservation policy, and you can't just barge in like this! I've called security. If you don't leave..."Annoyed by the servant's words, the man waved his arm, causing the servant to stumble to the side. He shouted,
Scarlet sat across from Louis, taking a small sip of tea. Under Louis's gaze, she felt he could see all her sorrows. She smiled slightly and finally spoke, "The man earlier is the prospective husband my father arranged for me. His name is Ron."Louis recalled the appearance and demeanor of the man and said thoughtfully, "He doesn't seem suitable for you."Hearing this, Scarlet couldn't help but chuckle a bit. While she didn't necessarily think that Ron was suitable for her, she did feel that he wasn't the right match. But what could she do? Her opinion would never be taken into account. She was just like a flower, unable to decide where to plant herself.Seeing Scarlet this way, Louis couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly. He looked at her and asked, "Well, I don't think your father judges that terrible. After all, you're his daughter. How could he marry you to someone who doesn't bring equivalent benefits?"Scarlet took a deep breath and shook her head as she said, "You d
Two people in the room heard the sound and turned their heads in surprise. Seeing Louis standing beside Scarlet, Ron immediately exclaimed, "It's them! You dare bring this man home with you; you don't consider me at all!"As fierce as he sounded, Ron didn't dare to take any action. The memories from yesterday were still fresh, and he didn't want to provoke Louis into a fight. It would be embarrassing and humiliating.He turned to look at Mr. Robert and shouted, "You quickly handle this for me! Your daughter doesn't care about me!"But Ron quickly realized that Mr. Robert was paying no attention to him. He stared intently at the man next to Scarlet, his gaze as if he had found a treasure.Under Ron's suspicious gaze, Mr. Robert approached Louis, smiling as he said, "I didn't expect Mr. Louis to be here. If you were visiting my daughter, you should have informed me so I could receive you properly."Louis smiled at Mr. Robert and then looked at Ron, saying, "I don't think Mr. Robert
In response to Ron's accusations, Louis simply chuckled. Meanwhile, Ron felt even more convinced of his theory.He was certain Louis had feelings for Scarlet, so he fabricated these charges against him. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?With growing confidence in his judgment, Ron pointed at Louis and said, "I'm sure you have a crush on Scarlet, and that's why you've framed me for this. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence occur?"Before he could finish his sentence, Ron suddenly clutched his hand in pain. He doubled over, and it became evident that he had unknowingly broken his finger, which now throbbed painfully.Ron's eyes widened as he looked at the tall man standing behind Louis with disbelief. Ace coldly regarded Ron and commented, "Pointing fingers like that is not a good habit. Let me help you correct it; no need to thank me."Ace finished speaking and, with Liam's assistance, handcuffed Ron.Still dissatisfied, Ron protested, "Let me go! I haven't done a
Regardless of how angry David was, Louis remained calm as he asked his question to Ethan. Ethan stood to the side, his elderly figure straight and his old, worn-out coat giving him the appearance of a wise and skilled sage."Are you curious about the effects of spiritual energy?" Ethan asked.Louis nodded. That was indeed his question. He added, "Out there, people gather much spiritual energy. I need your answer to follow this lead."Ethan chuckled and said, "Well, this isn't too difficult of a question. Human spiritual energy is a pure energy flow that sustains a person's life. If enough spiritual energy is gathered, we can reluctantly sustain the life of someone near death, increase their strength in times of crisis, or even preserve a corpse from decaying forever... In short, we can use another person's spiritual energy to supplement our own or that of someone else. However, this spiritual energy has a limited duration of use because, in the end, it doesn't truly belong to us."L
