Louis held a champagne glass in his hand, gently lifting it as Lucy's gaze swept toward him. Ethan smiled, embracing Lucy's waist. Lucy could only feel his hand, cold and reptilian, like a dangerous serpent. She slightly furrowed her brows, trying to avoid Ethan's hand, and said, "I think I should consider who my opponent is. I don't want to attack anyone's pride."It was a provocation aimed at Louis. Ethan laughed, "You don't know who you're talking to. This person holds significant power."Lucy smirked, "No matter how much power someone has, we're all the same on the race track."Standing next to Louis, Helen heard their banter and immediately furrowed her brows, "These people are really asking for trouble. I'll teach them a lesson!"As she spoke, she took a step forward, but at that moment, a hand grabbed her hand. Helen turned around and felt a shiver run through her body. She blushed as she looked at Louis, seemingly surprised that he would hold her hand.Contrary to Helen's reac
The ThunderBolt raced swiftly through the streets, so fast that it seemed like a fleeting image.Lucy only heard a "whoosh" sound as the ThunderBolt disappeared from her sight.Wide-eyed, Lucy couldn't believe the scene before her. She could recognize the enmity between Horus and Ethan.She didn't expect Ethan and Garow to be unable to stop Horus. He, indeed was a formidable person.However, Lucy wasn't saddened either. She casually brushed her hair back and laughed, saying, "Though I couldn't borrow your ThunderBolt, you won beautifully!"Louis pressed down on the accelerator and drove straight to the finish line. The car's nose crossed the red strip at the finish line. The car didn't stop but continued for a while.Then the sound of brakes echoed, and the ThunderBolt spun around on the road before coming to a stop.The air seemed still for a moment, and suddenly, a resounding voice exclaimed, "Horus is the grand winner!"After that, it was like pressing a start button for the entire
Louis didn't immediately return to the company but spent two days relaxing and working remotely on a yacht. Taking advantage of this opportunity, his subordinates also had a chance to relax.Louis lay on a sun lounger wearing only swim trunks, basking in the sun. His perfect abdomen was exposed, and his solid and attractive muscles could swoon any girl at first sight.Leonard stood beside Louis and couldn't help but say, "I don't know if you're aware, but Helen seems to be drooling over you."Even Leonard could sense Helen's burning gaze, so how could Louis not notice?He slightly raised his head and looked in one direction. When Helen realized she had been caught, her face immediately turned red, and she quickly moved away.Louis smiled and said, "She's still too young and doesn't know what it means to like someone. She has these feelings for me only because I saved her."Upon hearing Louis say this, Leonard didn't say anything more. He felt that Louis might need a deeper understandi
Louis hung up the phone, and within moments, a knock on the door echoed through the room. The person entering was none other than Leon and Leonard.Leon and Leonard approached Louis and stood before him. Leon spoke, "Do you have any tasks for us, sir?"Louis nodded. "The Alexander family has expressed sudden interest in collaborating with our company. I have never revealed my true identity or done anything to draw attention to myself, so their offer raises suspicion. I want the two of you to investigate the Alexander family's recent activities."Upon hearing Louis' words, Leon couldn't help but smirk and said, "They should pray that they have no association with those who oppose you."Louis sighed and rolled his eyes slightly. "I hope so too. Otherwise, I might bring their ambitions to a halt right here."Interrupting the conversation, Leonard added, "However, it's not entirely improbable that they simply want to cooperate with you or even destroy you. Atlantis has been rising rapidly
Helen gathered the hem of her dress, looking at Elena with a pained expression. "Do we have to wear these? How can you stand it? It feels so restrictive and inconvenient."Elena adjusted her hair and smiled at Helen. "Didn't you hear what the chairman said? As long as we can still fight when he needs us, it doesn't matter how we dress."Pausing momentarily, Elena stood up and walked before Helen, smiling as she spoke. "Besides, these dresses serve their purpose. For example..."As she spoke, Elena took a belt from a drawer and quickly strapped it around her thigh, where the dress concealed it.After finishing, she smiled at Helen and said, "You can hide your gun in there. It's a brilliant idea, isn't it?"Helen's eyes sparkled, and she smiled brightly at Elena, nodding vigorously. "Absolutely! I'll shoot off the heads of anyone who dares to get in the chairman's way."After Helen finished speaking, Elena's expression became somewhat enchanting. She pursed her lips for a moment before
Louis continued walking inside when suddenly someone bumped into Elena, causing the drink in their hand to spill and wet their clothes. Eren looked at the stain on his clothes, furrowed his brow, and glared at Elena, shouting, "You wretch, do you see what you've done?! Do you have any idea how expensive this outfit is? You couldn't afford to replace it even if you worked your whole life!"Elena furrowed her brow, but her professionalism prevented her from making impulsive moves. She slightly lowered her head and said, "I sincerely apologize. I will compensate you."Eren, slightly intoxicated, finally looked at Elena's face. His gaze immediately became intense, and he narrowed his eyes with a smirk before making things complicated, saying, "I don't want compensation. I want a new outfit right now!"As he spoke, he raised his hand to pull Elena towards him. At that moment, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist. Eren tried to tear away but couldn't. A cold, low voice echoed in his ear, "Gue
Stopping to look at Mr. Alexander's unpleasant face for a moment, Louis shook his head and sighed, "But I didn't expect Mr. Alexander to be so eager to listen to that person, huh? Would you kick me out of this banquet just because of a word from him?"After saying that, Louis shook his head again. "I never expected the Alexander family to have deteriorated to such an extent that the master of the family has to listen to a brat..."Boom!Alexander slammed his hands on the table, standing up abruptly. His face was highly unpleasant as he looked towards Louis, furrowing his brows and saying, "Young people are weak in everything, only good at running their mouths."Louis narrowed his eyes and smiled. "You're too kind."Pausing momentarily, he continued, "If our cooperation cannot continue like this, then I have no reason to stay here any longer. You must know that my work is not leisurely either."After speaking, Louis stood up, brushed off the nonexistent dust on his body, and left.Watc
The car traveled on the long road. Lucy sat on one side, remaining silent and brooding.That wretched Louis dared to say she intentionally approached him! Was she so desperate for male attention? She was not only the heir of the Crown family but also a girl pursued by many. Did she need to win the favor of a man?!Although this Louis guy appeared handsome, he was overly confident. Lucy sighed and carefully reconsidered. His confidence seemed natural, the spirit of a strong, self-assured, and composed individual.With that in mind, Lucy glanced at Louis for a moment. He seemed to need to remember their previous conversation. Looking out the car window, he tilted his head, lost in thought.Lucy felt disheartened, thinking about the emotional turmoil she experienced on the island that day. She had always been calm and confident, but she hesitated to ask if Louis was Horus this time.If he weren't, it would be better, but if Louis turned out to be Horus, she would be incredibly embarrasse
