"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.

“Oh, please—don’t pin it all on me. You act proper, but who knows what’s going on in that head of yours.”Mason Alvarez shot back, a little defiant.Alice was in too good a mood to spar with her.After so much time with Joseph, Alice’s cooking had improved dramatically.She still couldn’t quite match him, but she was close.The whole house was filled with the rich fragrance of dinner.When the last bit of prep was done, Alice took her seat at the table.It was laden with dishes—an abundant spread.Vrrrm.Just then, the sound of a car drifted in from outside.“Joseph’s back.”Alice hurried out at once.Mason followed quickly behind.After parking, Joseph stepped inside.But when Alice and Mason saw him, they froze.He was bruised and scuffed, his white shirt smeared with dirt and blood.He looked utterly spent—worn thin.“What’s with the staring?”Joseph asked, seeing them stand there, stunned.“Joseph… is that blood? Are you hurt? What happened to you? How did you end up like this?”“

“The most important thing right now is to get your body back in shape.”“Once you’ve recovered, we’ll tell you everything we know.”Neil Foster paused, as if weighing his words, then spoke to Joseph.“All right. I’ll wait for your call.”Joseph could only agree, helplessly.On the way back to the West Mountain training base, Joseph and Neil chatted about trivialities—work, life—nothing more.Half an hour later, they pulled up outside the West Mountain base.“Professor Wilson, you can still drive, right? You seem steady enough.”Neil got out with Joseph, sounding him out.“Much better.”“I was just worn out. Driving shouldn’t be a problem.”Joseph replied.“It’s been a long time since you’ve fought at this intensity—dancing on the edge between life and death. You may find it brings new insight, and it may stir old memories.”“Coach Adams and I want you to take some time to digest what this fight has given you.”Neil’s tone carried real weight.“Okay. I understand.”“Dean Foster, I’ll h

“That’s just how ordinary people think. The ones who make it here accept that death could come at any moment.”“Even if they die, no one will ever know how it happened. It’s as if someone simply vanished from the face of the earth.”Brian Adams spoke with complete indifference.“I’ve passed your trial. Now you should be able to tell me everything, right?”Joseph drew a deep breath.He’d said “you all,” not “you.” With Neil Foster standing here, Joseph was now certain that Neil and Brian shared an unusual bond.“You brought me three golden seals that day. Do you still have them on you?”Brian Adams asked in a calm, even tone.“Of course.”Joseph replied as he took out the three golden seals.“Hand them to me.”Brian Adams said to Joseph.Hearing this, Joseph didn’t hesitate. He passed all three seals to Brian Adams.Brian weighed the seals in his palm, studying them in a thoughtful silence.“Dragon Seal, Tiger Seal, Golden Horse Seal—each belongs to a different person.”“The Dragon Sea

Once the two dozen black-clad fighters took their positions, they charged without hesitation. Joseph braced and met them head-on.With so many blades in play, blood was inevitable. Soon the saber in Joseph’s hand was slick with it.There was no alternative. They were too many. The only way through was to strip them of combat power, fast.All he could promise himself was not to take lives. Nothing more.By the twenty-minute mark, Joseph was bleeding too—surface wounds only, nothing that slowed him down.It took him more than half an hour to put the group down for good. His strength clearly exceeded their expectations. These weren’t street punks swinging pretty fists; they were trained killers, each capable of taking on ten. And yet, before Joseph, none of them gained an inch. Worse, he cut through and walked away intact. Shock gave way to resignation.With the twenty-plus fighters dealt with, Joseph moved on.In the forest, the checkpoints Brian Adams had set far exceeded anything Jose

The red dot centered over his heart made Joseph’s pulse jolt. He slipped aside on instinct.A dull report—bang—followed a beat later. He’d already moved. If he’d waited for the shot to react, he’d be a corpse. Bullets outrun sound—sniper rounds most of all.He rolled behind cover, breath harsh and fast. If not for the shadows masking him, if not for that fleeting glimpse of the laser sight, he would have died with a hole through his chest.They weren’t pulling punches. They wanted him dead.His jaw tightened. Heat surged in his veins—familiar, ravenous. A bloodthirst he hadn’t felt in a long time pressed against his ribs like something waking.Anyone who comes for my life should lose theirs. The thought struck like a spark—wild, reckless.He wanted to kill the sniper hidden in the trees. A whisper—dark and insistent—uncoiled in his mind, urging him to finish it.But reason tugged the other way. He hovered at the edge between impulse and restraint.That near-fatal shot had shaken somet

“He should be able to,” Brian Adams exhaled, though uncertainty colored his tone. “I only ordered the kid to leave the forest on a stretcher. I didn’t order anyone to kill him.”He turned to go, but Neil Foster caught his arm.“What did you say? ‘Should?’ Old Adams, what is that supposed to mean? Are you telling me you don’t even know whether he’ll make it out alive?“If something happens to him, how are you going to answer to the general who died?”Neil’s composure cracked; panic washed the color from his face.“If he can’t pass a trial like this, how could he ever amount to anything?” Adams said quietly.“He shouldn’t have held back just now. He should’ve killed you with a single punch,” Neil shot back, livid.“If he could have killed me, I wouldn’t have objected,” Adams replied, utterly unfazed.“You—” Neil flushed a furious red.Adams shook free of his grip and walked off. Neil hurried after him.Once Joseph entered the forest, he relied on his senses, moving deeper along a quiet
