2024-09-12 22:54:31"What does it have to do with you?" Blake Morgan was the first to reply.
"Grandpa is right. What does it have to do with you?" Alice also replied in the group.
Seeing their responses, Mason Morgan was speechless and could only send a series of question marks in the group to express his astonishment.
"Dad, although you have the final say in Alice's matters, and I trust your judgment, I should at least know what kind of man my daughter is going to marry, right? I'll find time to go over and take a look after a while. There are too many things going on here in Metropolis City at the moment. @Blake Morgan," after a long time, Mason Morgan sent another lengthy message.
"Do as you wish. It's not like you can change anything anyway," Blake Morgan said rather domineeringly.
"Dad, you're overthinking. It's only just beginning now!" Alice was obviously a bit exasperated too.
After replying, Alice put down her phone.
"Why aren't you eating yet?" At this moment, Joseph also came out from the kitchen. He placed the last dish on the table.
"Ah? I was waiting for you! I thought about it and felt it wasn't quite right to start eating alone," Alice was slightly stunned, then answered.
"Try it. No need to be so formal," Joseph picked up a piece of cheese steak for Alice, making her feel a sense of bliss.
"Thank you," Alice expressed her gratitude, then took a bite.
However, after just one bite, her expression changed, and she instantly froze.
"Um, how is it? Not tasty?" Joseph noticed Alice's unusual expression and asked.
However, Alice didn't answer. Instead, she picked up two more pieces and started eating.
"If it's not tasty, don't force yourself. Try something else?" Joseph blinked and suggested.
"Joseph, what are you saying? What do you mean by not tasty? It's too delicious! How can it be so delicious? This is the most delicious cheese steak I've ever eaten. It's simply too good."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first. It's too delicious," Alice couldn't wait to start eating. She was already a bit hungry, and with such delicacies in front of her, she found it even harder to control herself.
"This is delicious!"
"Oh, this is delicious too."
"This one, this one, even more delicious."
"Wow, this is the most delicious. It's too good."
As she ate, Alice kept praising Joseph endlessly.
Hearing this, Joseph felt a bit unreal. Was it really that delicious?
"Isn't this just an ordinary home-cooked meal? Is it really that delicious?" Joseph smiled awkwardly. Was this girl just teasing him?
"Joseph, you're being too humble. Whew, even the top chefs in my family can't make dishes as delicious as yours."
"Joseph, be more confident. You're really amazing and awesome," Alice continued to praise him while not stopping her hands from eating.
Joseph smiled and started eating too.
Alice ate more dishes, while Joseph ate more rice. Since childhood, Joseph had always had a huge appetite.
After about an hour, Alice was finally full. Although Joseph had a large appetite, he was already full at this point.
"If it's not enough, I can make more for you," Joseph noticed Alice's lingering desire for more.
"Ah? No, no. I can't eat anymore. Really can't eat anymore," Alice quickly responded.
She seemed to have been eating a bit like a wolf just now, not very ladylike. Would Joseph dislike her?
Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit uneasy.
"That's good then," Joseph smiled.
"Joseph, I don't usually eat so unladylike. Do you prefer gentler girls?" Alice asked tentatively.
"You just need to be the way you like. It doesn't matter what kind of girls I like," Joseph chuckled.
"How can that be? That's too casual," Alice shook her head.
"Then let me put it another way. I like all your ways," Joseph said with a smile.
"Ah? Are you serious?" When Joseph said this, Alice's pretty face instantly turned red. She turned around and fled back to her room.
Joseph watched Alice's departing figure and just laughed. She was already eighteen years old, yet still like a child.
After Alice left, Joseph began to clean up.
Back in her room, it took a long time for Alice's burning heart to cool down.
"So, Joseph likes me too. Does that mean we have mutual feelings?" Alice lay on the bed, hugging her big plush doll, talking to herself.
Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed her phone, dialed Blake Morgan's number, and called.
Before long, the call was answered.
"Hello, Alice. How is it going? Have you arranged everything?" Blake Morgan's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Of course. It's not a difficult task. I've settled Joseph in," Alice replied.
"So, what's the matter? Calling grandpa so late?" Blake Morgan asked again.
"There's nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you that Joseph's cooking skills are really good, much better than those top chefs in our family," Alice couldn't stop praising Joseph's culinary skills.
"Hahaha... Is that so? Now I want to taste it even more."
"However, I can't fully trust your opinion on it being delicious because, in the eyes of someone you love, even their flaws are virtues," Blake Morgan couldn't help but tease.
"What do you mean by 'someone you love'? My relationship with Joseph is not certain yet!" Alice said this, but her heart was happy.
"I remember three years ago, when Joseph married into the Cooper family, someone in our family hid and cried for a day and night, with swollen eyes."
"She even said Joseph Wilson had promised to marry her and that Joseph wasn't a man of his word," Blake Morgan teased again.
"Grandpa, you... Always teasing people. I won't talk to you anymore," Alice's pretty face turned slightly red, unable to keep a straight face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Blake Morgan, she hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Alice opened F******k and found that her update had exploded with 99 comments.
Moreover, when she opened it, she saw that all 99 comments on the update were from the food photos she had just posted, mostly from boys.
"Alice, who is this man? He's not your boyfriend, is he?"
"Alice, are you in a relationship? Which family's young master is this?"
"Joseph? Who is Joseph?"
"Fuck, if he becomes your boyfriend, I'll kill him..."
"Hehe... Don't let me see this guy in Nova City. Every time I see him, I'll beat him up twice..."
Alice read the comments for a while. They were all a mess.

Suddenly, something came to him. He hurriedly returned to the box and began searching through it. Blood dripped from his hands onto the photographs, and those once-happy smiles were inevitably stained crimson.After rummaging for a while, he finally pulled out a document from the very bottom of the box. On its cover was the emblem of a dove.Pressed beneath the document was a small doll—a white dove plush.He picked up the toy and examined it.The moment he saw the white dove, an even more violent wave of memories surged into Joseph’s mind.Pain—excruciating pain!“Ahhh—!”Clutching his head, he screamed in agony. The cry reached its peak before his strength finally gave out. He fell backward onto the floor and blacked out, consciousness slipping away entirely.Outside the room, Neil Foster and Brian Adams stood waiting. Listening to the heart-rending screams from within, their expressions grew grave.They understood all too well that for Joseph, physical pain was secondary. The true

“No matter what, I’m prepared to bear it,” Joseph said softly. “If I spend my life running away, my heart will never know peace.”“I’m going to open this box—to reclaim my destiny, to rediscover my purpose, and to take back everything I’ve lost.”A faint smile crossed his face as he spoke.“Very well,” Neil Foster exhaled. “Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t say anything more.”“Old Adams, let’s step outside. He should go through this alone.”Brian Adams nodded and followed Neil Foster toward the door.After taking a few steps, however, Brian Adams stopped and turned back.“Young Master, so many years have passed. You must change as well. You’re no longer the inexperienced boy you once were.”“I believe you can steady yourself and begin making plans for the long road ahead.”His expression was cold as he spoke to Joseph.“I know,” Joseph replied, nodding.“Then I’ll take my leave.”Brian Adams inclined his head slightly and left the room, closing the door behind him.Once they w

Before long, gunfire and screams rose from beneath the ship. The once-azure sea was stained with blood, a crimson bloom spreading slowly across the water.The ship sailed away, leaving behind only a solitary enforcement vessel. Bodies drifted on the surface, abandoned to the waves.Predators of the open sea, near and far, seemed to catch the scent of blood. Drawn by it, they soon arrived, and the floating corpses were devoured in short order.At the same time, Elysia’s borders erupted with sudden incursions. At multiple strategic entry points, small-scale skirmishes broke out. Most of the intruders came alone, yet each possessed terrifying combat prowess.Even so, casualties were suffered on both sides.Beyond these, there were also large, organized border crossings. Some forces fought their way in, others slipped across in secrecy, but most avoided prolonged entanglements with the border troops, as though their sole objective was simply to enter Elysian territory.As for why they had

“Director Foster, should I say something?”After Joseph logged into the page, he asked.“You can say something if you like. But even if you say nothing, the moment your account lights up, they’ll know you’re back.”“You haven’t logged into this account for years. They all thought you were dead.”Neil Foster replied patiently.“I’d better say something,” Joseph said after a moment’s thought. “Otherwise, they’ll really believe I’m dead.”With that, he fell silent, carefully organizing his words.“All right. Young Master, say whatever you wish.”After speaking, Neil Foster said nothing more.At the very same moment, in Dreadmoor, in the capital city—A man dressed in traditional Dreadmoor attire, a narrow mustache beneath his nose, sat upon an enormous dragon-headed throne.Just then, another man entered in a hurry. He was also dressed in traditional clothing, a long saber strapped at his waist.“Downwell, that man has returned.”The saber-bearer spoke gravely, in the harsh tongue of Dre

“One of the reasons we sought you out, Young Master, is indeed Miss Alice’s safety—and it is also the most urgent one,” Neil Foster said, nodding.“What exactly is the situation?” Joseph asked, his brows knitting slightly.“At present, Miss Alice’s name sits at the very top of the assassin bounty list,” Neil Foster replied.“Her death carries a reward of 1.1 billion dollars.”“Capturing her alive is worth as much as 1.5 billion.”“With such staggering sums on the table, desperate men will always emerge. Foreign assassins will soon begin infiltrating Elysia, and Miss Alice will be placed in extreme danger.”Neil Foster exhaled softly, his expression grave.Hearing this, Joseph clenched his fists once more, his face growing darker by the second.“What they want is the research in Alice’s possession,” he said. “Why resort to killing her?”His thoughts were in turmoil, and he spoke almost without thinking.“The answer is simple,” Neil Foster replied.“First, such research being born in El

Hearing the question, Neil Foster and Brian Adams exchanged another glance.“It seems you’ve already remembered quite a lot,” Brian Adams said, taking the lead.Although he did not answer Joseph’s question directly, his words were, in effect, an answer.“So my mentor truly still has other family?” Joseph frowned, his hands tightening into clenched fists.Once again, the image of the little girl from his dreams surfaced—the despair, the helplessness, the quiet sorrow that clung to her.What had she gone through to leave such an impression?“Young Master, may we explain everything to you step by step?” Neil Foster asked after a moment’s contemplation.“Yes. But today, I must have an answer,” Joseph said firmly.“Young Master, let us speak in the inner room,” Neil Foster said, gesturing politely as he led the way.Before long, the three of them entered a room that appeared to be a private reception lounge. Neil Foster poured each of them a glass of water, unhurried and composed.“I’m c
