"Yeah? Why?" Archie asked. The girl became more and more curious. She was afraid that the young man in front of her might have done the same as his friend.But before Daniel could answer this question, he remembered Helena."Hey, where is Miss Dubois?" he asked Kieran."She's resting over there!" Kieran replied, pointing his index finger in the direction of one of the rooms.Daniel quickly walked in the direction Kieran pointed. He opened the door and saw a beautiful girl lying on the sofa. Helena looked very tired, but her clothes were still intact."Thank goodness! Nothing happened to her!" Daniel exclaimed happily. He felt relieved.Then he touched Helena's hand and held it gently, trying to wake her up."Miss Dubois! Miss Dubois! Wake up!"Helena remained asleep.Daniel then gently shook her shoulders a few times, but Helena still didn't open her eyes."Why is this girl so difficult to wake up?"At first Daniel thought that Helena was just too tired. But when he saw the drink on t
Daniel was in his car.He had originally planned to take Helena to the hospital, thinking that she needed immediate medical attention.But when he saw her body through the car window, he was relieved because she seemed to be fine."Maybe she just needs some more rest!"Daniel then punched Helena's name into his GPS system and tracked down her home.As the owner of Tec-Auto, Daniel had access to certain information about his employees. It was all done to help the employees in case of emergencies.Of course, Daniel had access to all this data with their consent.Not long after, his phone screen showed a place he needed to reach. "Carmel City."Daniel only had to drive a little over two hours to get there.Two hours later.The car Daniel was driving arrived at a city outside of Tectona."Carmel City" was the name written on the roadside sign as his car passed through the area.Carmel was a suburban city that directly bordered the city of Tectona, and it was a beautiful city.Several buil
The woman screamed at Daniel and chased him away.Actually, Daniel was not alone in the room. Louise was also there. The girl was sitting on the bed watching her sister.The woman immediately entered the room and grabbed Daniel's hand, pulling him away from where he was standing."Aunt Lena, what are you doing?" Louise whispered as she saw the woman pulling Daniel's hand roughly."Be quiet! Just take care of your sister! Don't interfere in the affairs of adults!" the woman named Lena said as she continued to drag Daniel out of Helena's room."Sister, what are you doing? Let him go! He is Helena's boyfriend!" Elise shouted as she saw her sister grab her daughter's boyfriend by the hand."Boyfriend, you say? No one but Matthias is allowed near my niece! Do you hear me?" Lena yelled.Lena was Elise's only sister. Since Elise's husband, Helena's father, had died, Lena had helped them with their lives. Lena was also the one who sent her two nieces to school.So she felt entitled to decide
Lena was one of these unfortunate people.Though the Deshaies didn't persecute her, her crops had been failing for the past few years.Therefore, she not only needed financial help, but also needed to earn money to meet her daily needs.Lena knew she couldn't borrow from the bank. That's why she borrowed from the Deshaies. As her debt grew, she struggled to pay it off.At the same time, after learning that one of the young men in the Deshaies family had his eye on her niece, Lena tried to get closer to him in order to get leniency and avoid repaying her debt."Don't you know how much I spent on your two daughters' education? If I hadn't supported Helena, she wouldn't be as successful as she is now!" Lena snapped without any shame.Every time she argued with her sister, she always mentioned her own good deeds, as if she had done them only out of self-interest."I don't want to hear anything from you right now. Wake up your child and tell her to leave immediately!" Lena snapped again an
Helena was about to move her hand when a voice was heard from the direction of the door."Darling, what are you doing? Are you going to leave your lover for a rich man? Come on! Do you think I can't make you happy?"The voice was casually spoken, but sounded very loud.When everyone turned to the source of the voice, they could see Daniel standing near the door with his arms folded across his chest.Daniel was indeed pretending to be Helena's boyfriend. He did it for one simple reason.If he had no relationship with Helena, what reason would he have to help the girl?Besides, after hearing Louise's explanation of what the Deshaies family, including the young man in front of him, had done to the locals, Daniel couldn't just stay silent.He had to do something to save them. He had to stop the incredibly greedy Deshaies family!But first, of course, he had to save Helena by paying off Lena's debt!"You stupid boy! Have you gone mad? What are you doing here? Get out before I lose my patie
Helena didn't know how to answer that question at the moment.If she said that her boss, in this case Daniel, couldn't afford two hundred million for the land, it would be openly insulting Daniel.But if she told the truth, her aunt would immediately sell the land to Daniel, who seemed to have a plan to help them."He... he..." Helena stuttered."Helena! Don't beat around the bush! Just say whether your boss will buy it at that price or not!" Lena urged again.Seeing that the situation was becoming unfavorable, Matthias couldn't stay silent."Aunt, why are you interested in the nonsense and unclear words of this young man? Isn't he just a poor young man who can only make up stories? Why should we listen to him? Besides, if I marry Helena, you don't need to sell anything, right?"Matthias spoke calmly and softly, but his heart was growing worried. 'What if Helena's boss really wants to buy the land? What should I do?'"Matthias, be quiet for a moment! Let me decide here!" Lena said.He
Lena couldn't speak. She felt pain all over her body. After several kicks, she could barely stand the constant pain. She was about to pass out.But before she lost consciousness, she saw the figure of a young man coming from the direction of the door. She recognized him. It was the young man she had belittled!"You're not only cunning, you're also a coward! Tell me, are you only brave enough to fight a woman?"She could hear the young man's voice directed at Matthias.At the same time as these words were spoken, Lena's consciousness completely faded away.She had fainted.On the other side, Daniel's words surprised Elise and Helena, who thought they had lost the young man. They opened their mouths wide but were unable to utter a single word.Not only them, the words also shocked Matthias.What?Why is that despicable young man here?Why did they let him go?Matthias was furious with his subordinates.He thought they had disobeyed his orders by letting the young man escape before his
Daniel found himself in Arena 12, facing an opponent he had been briefed on. Montgomery Brooks!With each new round, the contestants were given a larger arena. In this round, the arena was fifty meters in diameter, slightly wider than the previous one.After entering the arena, each referee would remind the contestants of the rules that would be used in this round."Jeffrey, Montgomery, listen carefully! This round will be a 3-on-3 duel! There are no rules about who attacks first. The one who can hit his opponent three times the fastest will win this round!" said the referee.Unlike the previous rules, in this round, two contestants in an arena didn't have to wait for either themselves or their opponent to finish their turn to attack three times."Get ready! Fight!" the referee shouted before quickly leaving the arena.Under this rule, each contestant was free to attack each other from the beginning of the match.This time, however, Daniel's opponent was in no hurry to attack."Hey, y
