"Good lord, beauty, don't tempting me. I admit I did have some inappropriate thoughts about you earlier, but I swear I didn't actually do anything other than save you. Please put away that hot gaze of yours, my conscience can't take it." Justin muttered inwardly, while on the surface he awkwardly coughed twice and went back to meditating with eyes closed.Before long, Sydney Rice had tidied up her appearance, though her face was still very red. She came over timidly and said, "Sir, thank you so much, and I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I hope you can forgive me. What did you mean earlier when you said the medicine would not work for my grandfather? I've tried a dose myself, it worked miraculously, relieving my symptoms very quickly, so it shouldn't have problems, right?""That was for your situation. If I'm not wrong, your grandfather's condition should be much more severe than yours. And he must be close to 80 years old this year, with poor health all along, correct?" Hearing th
A female cashier quickly went to the back office area, and soon a man with gold wire glasses holding a stack of folders walked out."Haha, you must be Mr. Wilson! I'm the general manager of this Walmart, call me Dominic. It's an honor to meet you." After being notified by the female cashier, the general manager had immediately pulled up the surveillance footage and recognized Justin, naturally knowing who he was.Dominic extended his hand to shake Justin's, who could not refuse the gesture and perfunctorily shook it briefly."This beautiful lady must be Mrs. Wilson! Such exquisite looks! Mr. Wilson, you're so fortunate to have such a beauty accompanying you, truly enviable!"This guy buttered up with flattery, instantly making Ava blush furiously, especially at the "Mrs. Wilson" address which delighted her immensely."Alright, enough. I didn't come today to hear you suck up. Now that this is my asset, it shouldn't be a problem for me to take some things right?" Justin impatiently int
Justin ignored their envious glares.Checking the schedule, he had a finance class today. Usually he skipped such classes, but since he made the rare trip back, he might as well attend.Arriving at the classroom, Justin found Adam Jones, Maxwell Stone and Tank Turner all present. Any other time, Justin would have been shocked, as the three were infamous for skipping classes. Getting them to seriously attend a lesson? Keep dreaming.But today, exceptionally, none were absent. There was only one reason - the new female teacher giving the class. She was very beautiful, fair-skinned, pretty, and long-legged, simply the ultimate temptation for these nerds. Of course they had to attend her class!The lesson had already started when Justin and Ava entered. Justin nodded at the typically strict female teacher, who actually nodded back with a faint smile.That tiny smile was like the warm sun melting snow, instantly melting the boys' hearts. They watched longingly, while hating Justin even mor
"Oh god! It's reached the seventh floor. How pitiful!""What can be done? With such big flames, who dares to go up? Poor child, so young too. Consumed by fire, how tragic."As the crowds whispered anxiously, no one dared attempt a rescue. Justin could no longer sit still. The fire was about to consume the seventh floor. If no one acted now, the child would be doomed!"System, any way to give me fire immunity?"He had considered his Steel Body should be fire-resistant, but the smoke would still be a problem, and he couldn't protect anyone else with it."There is a way, but needs points to purchase. 10,000 points for an advanced barrier shield, impervious to blades and fire. But Master's points are insufficient currently, loans available at 100 points interest daily.""Stop blabbing, nevermind the interest. It's life or death! Hurry up!"Justin couldn't care about points now. That was trivial compared to a child's life. If the kid died when he could have saved him but was stingy with po
The firefighters rushed up to support Justin - the heroic rescuer deserved everyone's reverence.But Justin declined their good intentions, running straight to the woman and panting as he returned her infant.Oddly though, the moment the baby left his arms, it began wailing again. People assumed it was just frightened and thought nothing of it.Justin deliberately acted exhausted, plopping down on the curb to catch his breath dramatically.Some medics came over to bandage his cut and brought mineral water, which Justin accepted with a smile, feeling it sweeter than nectar. Now he understood just how perilous the firefighters' job was. Without his protective barrier, he may not have made it out either. Yet they rushed into such danger with only their flesh and blood. Truly admirable people!Soon a policeman came over with a smile, sitting beside Justin."Not bad lad, charging through such flames to safely rescue the child. You have my utmost respect, few in my life earn that. You're a
In high spirits, Justin brought Ava back to his hotel suite. After a nice shower came...unspeakable matters. When they finally left the hotel in the morning, Ava walked with a slight awkward limp while glaring resentfully at a smug Justin floating on air."Haha, amazing! I'm finally a real man with a wife! Feels so good!"He wondered when he might get a taste of the icy beauty Mia - that would be a whole different experience for sure!Returning home, Justin saw Ava's mother watering flowers in the yard. About to greet her daughter, she noticed Ava's odd gait and immediately realized what had transpired, being experienced. But she had no complaints at all, rather was even happier. She would get to hold her grandchild soon, with a cute partner to accompany her so she'd never be lonely again!"Oh, you lovebirds are back! I better cook up some soups, you'll need nourishing after your first time. Must recuperate properly!" She smiled and left the flustered couple in the wind."It's all you
They lit up and took a satisfied puff, eyes closed as they exhaled perfect smoke rings, appearing refined and elegant like sages. What elegance!"Wow, incredible taste, smoothest cigarette I've had in my life!""Haha, since you elders like them, have the rest too." Justin handed over the remaining cigarettes."Now now, that won't do. Justin's cigarettes must be expensive, you shouldn't have given them all to us. Keep some for your dad and uncle, they've had it rough lately." Hearing this, Justin grew alert and asked what had happened at home recently. After the elder shared everything known, Justin could no longer sit still and rushed back home in a few quick strides, the two girls hurrying after him.But the house was empty when he entered, the table set with cold, uneaten food. It seemed they had prepared a meal but left abruptly before eating.Justin didn't wait, immediately driving out to search for his family. After combing the entire village unsuccessfully, he went into town.T
Kimberly nodded, having been scared out of her wits this time, almost losing her son for good. Rather than living in dread like this, it'd be better finding a safer job environment away from sinister schemes.But Jacob saw more clearly. Such slimeballs existed everywhere. Changing companies wouldn't eliminate that risk. And he didn't wish his son's hard work to be for naught. So he directly rejected the idea."No, you're going back to work, can't resign.""Jacob Wilson, have you lost it? After everything our son went through, you still won't let him quit? Are you trying to end the Wilson line?" Kimberly yelled."Quiet! How can you say that with my brother and Justin here? Does that sound proper?" Jacob scolded his wife. Realizing her blunder, Kimberly quickly apologized. "Sorry, I spoke rashly from anxiety earlier. Please don't take it to heart!"Of course, Shane's family wouldn't make an issue of it."Sis, what nonsense! We're one family. It's no big deal, eh? Wife, Raymond just got
