As soon as Seth received Uno's report, he immediately made some new assignments. He ordered the ten Night Wolves he had sent on the second mission to return, and he commanded all of them to protect Willow.The second mission was almost done, anyway.Next, he called Willow and told her to stay at home until he returned.He also applied for leave at school in advance.He had to settle matters here as soon as possible so he could return to Jonesville sooner.Ring ring ring!His phone rang. Seth glanced and saw it was an unfamiliar number.Once he accepted the call, a pleasant voice came from the other end."Good evening, Mr. Yeager. Have you had dinner?"It was the air stewardess."Good evening. Yes, I've already eaten.""Oh, I see…" The air stewardess was obviously a little disappointed, but she quickly pulled herself together. "Then do you wanna come out for a drink? My treat."Seth checked the time. It was nine o'clock in the evening.After some thought, he decided to me
Once he had confirmed Laurel's condition, Seth placed a hand on her forehead and leaned her against the seat slightly. He placed his other hand on her abdomen.It was just the sort of gesture that could cause a misunderstanding.Laurel thought Seth was trying to take advantage of her.The next moment, however, she was stunned.She felt a rush of warmth surging from Seth's palm into her abdomen.The pain she felt receded quickly.Laurel finally had the strength to speak again. She looked at Seth with a complicated expression. "Why are you helping me? I wasn't exactly nice to you before.""It's a doctor's duty to save people. I'd even save a mongrel by the curb."Laurel's temper flared in an instant. She gritted her teeth hard enough to grind them down."You never have anything good to say!"Seth could not be bothered to retort.He simply continued injecting his internal energy into her body to aid the circulation of blood in her abdomen.Laurel's face grew rosier, and her co
"Hey, missy! It's very dangerous for you to be here alone at night.""That's right. Why don't you come play with us?""Don't worry, we're all good guys."The air stewardess' tone was cold. "I'm not interested. Please leave before my boyfriend gets here. You don't want to cross him!"She acted cold on the surface, but she was secretly extremely flustered.She had even gone out of her way to dress like this and hide her figure, so why did she still encounter perverts the moment she left the house? How could she be so unlucky?The men did not stop after she said that. Instead, they became even more excited.They started to harass her even more brazenly.One of them even reached out to touch her face.However, before his hand could reach her, he felt his body fly into the air.The world spun before his eyes, and he thumped heavily to the ground.At the same time, his other two companions also flew through the air and landed beside him. All of them groaned and grimaced in pain.
A somewhat balding man stood next to her.When the man saw Faye, he could not look away.Faye was taken aback. "Peach, why are you here?"She then told Seth, "Mr. Yeager, Peach here is my colleague."Peach crossed her arms and sneered at Seth. "Don't be so gullible, Faye."This kid probably isn't even twenty years old. How capable can he be?"If you ask me, he's totally lying to you. There are too many love scammers around these days. Don't let him fool you."Faye was a little angry, but she suppressed her rage. "Peach, I think you've misunderstood. Mr. Yeager is my friend. and he's the real deal."Peach snorted and looked at Seth. "Do you even make five thousand a month? I've heard that some interns only make two or three thousand."Seth picked up his juice and took a sip. He did not even look at her.This woman was obviously the arrogant, opportunistic sort.Seth had nothing to say to people like that.To Peach, Seth's silence only confirmed her suspicions. She turned to
Peach turned deathly pale as soon as Faye said that. "Goodness, Faye, how could you speak to Mr. Anton like that? Quick, apologize to him!"Faye might be kind, but she was no pushover.She never compromised when it came to her principles. "Let's talk some other time, okay, Peach? I just want to have a nice dinner with my friend now. Please leave!"Mr. Anton's expression was not pleasant. "Isn't that rather rude of you? I sincerely want to be friends with you. Why are you being so disrespectful?!"Peach poured out a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Faye. "Faye, drink this glass of wine as an apology to Mr. Anton. Let bygones be bygones."Faye stood up, her expression cold. "Since you refuse to leave, fine. We'll leave instead!"Bam!Mr. Anton slammed the table and stood up abruptly, emanating a ruthless aura."Know your place. You should be honored that I've taken a fancy to you!"Faye was trembling with rage. "What are you gonna do? Hit me in public?!""So what if I hi
Peach even rubbed her eyes, as though she thought she was hallucinating.Compared to the other two, Faye was relatively calmer, but she was still very shocked inside.It was not her first time here, so she knew that the owner of this bar was an extraordinary person. She never expected that the legendary boss would be so respectful to Seth!Ever since Meia saw Seth show off his skills last time, she had admired this man, even though he was much younger than her.She had always wanted to ask him about martial arts, but she never got the chance.Seth took a sip of water, then pointed at Mr. Anton and Peach. "These two are very noisy. They're disrupting my meal with my friend."Meia's eyes flashed fiercely as she abruptly turned to look at the other two.Immediately, Peach and Mr. Anton felt their hearts pounded wildly, as if they were being stared down by a terrifying beast."Meia, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't know about your relationship with that gentleman," Mr. Anton
"Me? I'm just a model citizen of Longford."Pfft!Faye burst out laughing at Seth's words, laughing so hard she rocked back and forth.As expected, she was wonderful to behold when she laughed like that.After that, Faye was in a very good mood that night.When she was in a good mood, she liked to drink. No one could stop her no matter how hard they tried.Soon enough, she had finished an entire bottle of wine. The wine's alcohol content was not exactly low, either.Faye was drunk out of her mind now, and her face was flushed. "Mr. Yeager, cheers."Seth shook his head. "You're drunk. I'll drive you home.""I'm not drunk. I can still drink."That was what drunk people always say.Speechless, Seth raised his hand to signal to the waiter.The waiter came over and asked respectfully, "May I help you?""Bring me the bill. How much is it?"Originally, they had agreed that it would be Faye's treat, but she was definitely in no condition to pay right now.The waiter said, "Oh, o
He had to give up on that plan and come up with something else instead.Plan C required physical contact with Faye.However, Seth treated Faye just like any other patient. He did not have any wayward thoughts about her at all.Starting from her hands, he moved up her arm, tapping each of the meridians on her elbows, her shoulders…By the time he reached her chest, Faye slowly woke up…Faye was dazed at first. She blinked and then looked down to see Seth's hands pressing down on her…"Ahhh!"After a second of stunned silence, she let out a high-pitched scream.Seth calmly pulled his hands back. "I was giving you a massage to sober you up. You were drunk, and I don't know where you live.""I was drunk?"Faye tried her best to recall what had happened just now. All of a sudden, she felt extremely shy.She had behaved like a lunatic while she was drunk. Her entire image was ruined."It's all over." She buried her face in her hands, feeling disgraced for some reason. She was s
