The ignited lighter twirled in his slender fingers where every spark just barely flickered across his skin. This gesture was utterly alluring. “After our men released Tom Sullivan, he grabbed his arm and drove to the hospital.” Zack added, “I heard that Young Madam wishes not to make this incident huge, correct?” “Actually, I think Young Madam is right. If this issue escalates and gets out, it wouldn’t be good for the Young Madam. People would often add in bits of details once they start spreading until, alas, they turn into a completely different thing. “Worst case scenario, it becomes a version where he has successfully slept with our Young Madam.” Zack’s tone was respectful and serious. “I know,” said Stanley. “Fifth Master, our people have warned him saying that we have evidence of his crime in our hands. He wouldn’t dare to put the word out and escalate things either simply.” “I suspect that he won’t even tell his family. After all, Tony Sullivan is annoyed by him. I

This meal smelled excellent and looked great. Just a glance was enough to make her mouth water. “I want to eat too, but I have to play the game right now. I’ll eat it later.” Xyla looked at her computer screen. Since the game had started, food would have to wait. Although it was just entertainment, she loved to give it her all in every game. Stanley sat down quietly beside her and put the notebook on his lap. “I’ll help you with this game. You eat first.” When he saw Xyla’s ID on top of the character, he was stunned. Surprise flashed in his eyes. Who knew that she was the number one player in the server, Seven, who could easily overpower him in the game. The person that Henry had tried to sign with a large amount of money. No wonder she was dismissive of Henry’s offer of thirty million dollars a year to become a professional gamer. Thirty million dollars indeed wasn’t an amount attractive enough for her. “Do you play League of Legends regularly as well?” Xyla asked.

Xyla was eating as she watched, feeling very satisfied with his performance. Who would have thought that he was this good? Only, compared to her, he was still a little lacking. However, in this national server, he was considered top-class. The way he worked the keyboard was skilled and elegant. His slender fingers danced swiftly over the keys, flowing smoothly like he was playing the piano. She regularly watched League competitions. Men who gamed usually had nice hands. All the professional gamers she had met had exceptionally nice looking hands. However, his hands were even more attractive than theirs. These perfect hands practically completed the fantasy of someone with a hand complex. How he worked the keyboard was cooler than the other professional gamers as well. The way he played the game was more composed and calm than they were. As she looked at him, the term ‘elegant killer’ flashed in her mind. He was using the most elegant posture to do such bloody things.

“I gave my account to a friend.” He stared intensely at Xyla before he smiled meaningfully. “... Oh, alright then.” Xyla didn’t press him. She continued eating as she watched him play. It took him fourteen minutes to finish this game. By the time she was done eating, his game had ended. It could be said that it was his abilities alone that helped the team win so quickly. Even if she had spotted many flaws in his controls, this was good enough. “Not bad…” Xyla praised. “Will you keep playing?” Stanley asked. “Nope. I’m getting ready to go to work,” Xyla answered. “Then, go on, I’m going out for work as well,” replied Stanley. “Remember to eat lunch,” Xyla reminded. “Yeah,” he grunted a response before leaving without looking back. Xyla called to make a reservation at the restaurant for tonight before sending him the restaurant’s address. After that, she changed her clothes and left the house. *** At the same time, at the municipal hospital. After Tom had

Even if these women made him want to hurl, he no longer cared. *** When Xyla was done with work at Quest Group, it was already six in the evening. As night fell, the dazzling city lights intertwined with the sparkling stars in the sky. The whole world was covered in a sea of brilliance. Putting down the last document in her hand, she raised her head to see the beautiful view. Her neck ached a lot. She gently massaged it with a massage tool before touching up her natural makeup and got up to tidy her outfit in front of the full-length mirror. Her reflection was wearing a white chiffon shirt with a large bow tied around her neck. She wore a houndstooth high-waisted skirt that rested two centimeters above her knee. Her graceful figure was displayed perfectly. The pair of long legs below her skirt was exceptionally fair and slender as if they had highlights of their own. After simply tidying up her largely curled black hair, she grabbed her bag and drove to the western re

Xyla looked down at the time. He was only late for one minute. “It’s just one minute… It’s okay,” said Xyla. Even if they already knew he treated Xyla differently, Sebastian, Henry, and Gary couldn’t help but exchange glances. “Old Fifth, do you only have Xyla in your eyes?” Sebastian complained, mildly raising an eyebrow. “Why are you guys here?” Stanley asked. “It’s dinner time. We’re here for food,” Henry answered. “Rachel, greet Fifth Brother.” As they talked, Sebastian jutted his chin at Stanley. His actions seemed casual and laid-back. “Hello, Fifth Brother,” Rachel greeted. “Hmm.” Stanley glanced at her faintly, using no more words than necessary. “Let’s go. Let’s have dinner together.” Sebastian went ahead inside with Rachel in his arms. “You guys eat on your own,” Stanley said. “Beautiful Miss Quest has promised to dine with us, okay? You’re not planning to not listen to her, are you?” Sebastian turned around with a bright smile, looking at Xyla after s

Xyla was interested in this topic as well. She shifted her gaze to Henry. “Do you even have a heart? I’m here, agonizing, but you’re still laughing.” Henry frowned, looking upset. “Seems like there’s drama,” Sebastian deduced. “Thanks to your jinx, that person really was a shemale. The girl who did the video call with me was hired by him. Whenever he chatted with me through voice message, he used a voice changer, f*ck…” Henry explained. Xyla couldn’t help smiling at that, but she remained silent as she continued listening earnestly. “Hahaha… Was it really a shemale? I’m dying of laughter. Say, are you a shemales magnet? You keep meeting shemales in your online dating experiences hahaha…” Sebastian was holding his sides in laughter. “The main point was, he got scammed again. That girl weaved a tragic story, saying that her father has Uremia and a kidney transplant that required five hundred thousand. She didn’t have the money, so she had to work a lot of jobs every day. He b

Stanley’s eyes turned cold. “So?” “Do we want to continue? If we keep going, I’m afraid it might be lethal.” “Two days and two nights without a minute less.” Stanley’s tone allowed no room for discussion. After that, he hung up the call and turned back into the room. At that moment, Henry was engrossed in watching his team’s competition video while Sebastian was hugging Rachel as he told Xyla jokes. Gary was sitting quietly, eating his dinner, and smiling the whole time courteously. Stanley strode over to Xyla and sat beside her. Henry’s video was a little loud, so Xyla couldn’t resist looking at him after hearing a bit. “Are you watching Team IM’s competition?” At this, Henry instantly looked up. “Yeah. Do you know about Team IM?” Xyla smiled. “Yeah. The only team I like is IM. I like the team’s entire style. They’re passionate and hot-blooded. In their competitions, they’re either at war or on the way to war.” Hearing his team being praised made Henry feel so much
