Seth broke the silence in the quiet corridor. "Will you not see me either?”There was a moment of silence in the room when suddenly, he heard the sound of various objects falling to the ground. He could imagine that Alaska had accidentally knocked some things over as she was rushing to the door.The door opened, and when Alaska saw Seth, the smile faded from her face.Smiling, Seth peeled off the mask from his face.Like a rollercoaster, Alaska’s emotions plummeted one moment before soaring the next. "Is it really you, Seth?""Yes, it's me."Alaska took a deep breath. She was very familiar with the scent of the man she longed for. It was indeed him. She quickly pulled him into the room, locked the door, and then hugged him tightly."Seth, I can't believe I got to you again. I'm so happy. This feels like a dream."I realized that I had fallen for you completely a long time ago. I feel like I’m losing my mind every day I don’t get to see you. I thought we'd never get to see eac
That family, however, might run into trouble this time. It might even go into decline. They should never have set their sights on Alaska. He had spent time getting to know her, thus developing a great fondness for this kind, beautiful, gentle, and charming woman. Alaska was also his only hope of making a breakthrough past rank nine. Seth would never allow anyone to ruin that."So, you don't want to marry that man, right?" Seth asked.Alaska shook her head. "I don't want to, of course not. I like you, Seth, and I will never like another man in this lifetime."Seth smiled. "You don’t have to marry him as long as you don't want to. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do. I mean every word of it!"Alaska was still unable to fully grasp the power behind Seth's words at this moment and thought he was just trying to comfort her. She did not know that Seth was the only Peak Nine-ranked Warrior in Longford. The power contained within Seth was far more than any long-es
The beautiful woman gazed at Seth with a soft, alluring gaze as she said, "Why don't you come in?" Her voice was gentle and seductive.The woman had slept soundly since her light and dark energies were balanced after the 'treatment' Seth gave her earlier. When she woke up and saw he was not beside her, she felt a bit disappointed. She quickly got dressed, and when she opened the door, she happened to see Seth again.Seth had initially considered knocking her out but then changed his mind. The beautiful woman was Alaska’s mother, after all. If she were to go looking for the head of security after he left, it could spell trouble for both him and Alaska.With that in mind, Seth entered the room. Using the same method as he did before, he pressed her against the corner of the wall, and then...Half an hour later, the woman lay on the ground, completely spent. Seth spoke up then, saying, "This cannot happen again next time."The beautiful woman was startled, immediately realizing tha
"Which plot are you two interested in purchasing?"Seth answered, "The land on the north side of the city. I want all of it.”"Oh, alright." The man nodded, but then his eyes widened in the next moment. "What did you just say? I don’t think I heard you clearly."Fortunately, this was all happening within his office. Should it have occurred outside it, his authority would have taken a hit from his loss of composure.Smiling, Seth repeated what he said.The man did not look pleased, however. Instead, he looked at Seth somewhat suspiciously. “I think both of you are aware of the problem with that area. Buying it all would be a huge financial loss. Did you perhaps receive some inside information?"Sitting nearby, Mila lightly tapped her fingers on the table light and replied, "What do you think? Do you really think we’d know anything if even you, who's within the system, haven’t received any information?”The man considered what Mila said but still had his doubts. "Although the land
Suddenly, Seth’s expression changed. Mila was rubbing her feet against his thigh lightly under the table yet pretending like she was doing nothing. Seth shot her a look, asking her to behave herself. However, Mila just blinked her eyes innocently, looking as if she had no idea what he was referring to. Not only that, she was beginning to get bolder under the table. She used the tip of her shoe at the start but had taken the entire shoe off now. Mila was wearing stockings today, and she used her stocking-clad foot to slowly lift up the leg of Seth’s trousers. The sensation of her stockings rubbing against his skin was an extraordinary one.Meanwhile, the staff were so engrossed in calculating how much money the land would cost that none of them noticed what was happening between them under the table. Mila was getting bolder and bolder, her feet moving higher and higher. After warning her a number of times to no avail, he extended his leg decisively and trapped Mila’s foot be
Mila struggled again, desperate to free her leg. However, her efforts were futile. She felt a sense of despair, tears seemingly about to well up in her eyes. She said, "Can't you just… take a look? What if it’s… something... important. It’d be bad… if you… missed it…”Fortunately, the people around them were deeply engrossed in their work. Otherwise, they would have caught onto their subtle movements a long time ago. Seth teased her a little more before picking up his phone in the end to read the message she sent.[Sethy, I'm really sorry. I won't do it again in the future. Can you please let me go?]There was a coquettish tone to her message, the kind that could melt even the toughest of hearts.Smiling, Seth decided to let her off after the mild punishment. He had no intention of humiliating her in front of everyone and released her foot.Mila finally breathed a sigh of relief before she quickly shuffled her shoe back on.After taking a few deep breaths, the blush on her face
Seth was stunned. "What's wrong? Why did you cry out of the blue?""Seth, since when did you have a girlfriend?" Willow asked in a tearful voice."Girlfriend? I don't have any.""What's with those lipstick marks on your face?" Willow struggled to hold back her tears while looking aggrieved."You have a girlfriend. I don't want her to get the wrong idea, so I should leave. I'll leave immediately."With that, she turned around to return to her room and pack.Laughing out loud, Seth followed and grabbed her hand."What were you thinking? I had a drink with a friend tonight, got drunk, and..."After hearing what had happened, Willow was still skeptical. "Really? Seth, you are not lying to me?"Seth nodded. "Of course it's true. I'll show you if you don't believe me."He took Willow's hand as they walked to the room where Yvonne slept, and he opened the door.The two people outside the door froze at what they saw.Yvonne was uncomfortable and hot after drinking.So, she threw b
Seth was already immune to all poisons.He was the king in front of these poisonous creatures, and they would stay away from Seth when they saw him.After more than an hour in the mountains, Seth did not find any blood lotus, but he did find some rare herbs.For example, a root herb that was nearly 50 years old.Root herbs that old were very nourishing to warriors.Then there were several mushrooms aged between 30 to 40 years.Seth went deeper.After about two hours, Seth stopped.He turned off the flashlight and directed internal energy to his eyes, and his vision spread rapidly.He saw a cave more than 2,000 meters away.Outside the cave was a blood-red lotus fluttering in the wind.Seth was shocked to see the blood lotus, and it had not yet been picked.Besides that, the blood lotus looked old; it should be 70 or 80 years old.Even if herbs that old were ordinary, the medicinal power they contained was pretty strong.Not to mention a precious herb like blood lotus.Ho
