Meanwhile, back in the cafe, Sage and Laura were chatting happily.Both were quiet people with few words. It was the first time they had met after a long time, but somehow, they managed to keep talking.Laura was serving in the military as a Major General and a female machine gunner.She used to be comrades with Jace and Yoel in Team Draco and had a life-long friendship.Soldiers were respectable. Sage always had a liking for them because of her experience of being kidnapped as a child. Besides, Laura was a heroic and handsome special force police. "And I was wondering why I never saw you again. So you're now a soldier."Laura left a strong impression on the young Sage. After all, not many could defeat Kane or make him cry. To see Laura beat Kane to tears was truly an unforgettable scene.It was not just her. Her other brothers would bring up this incident from time to time to tease Kane.When they were young, all of them studied martial arts in a martial arts school. Laura's
Laura explained that she hurt her waist during a mission.She made it sound light, but Sage looked at her expression and knew that the injury was serious."Turn around. Don't look," Sage ordered Jace. Jace obeyed and turned around in silence.After Louis mopped the floor, Sage sent him to receive Luther and Kane.The three of them were the only ones left in the spacious cafe.Laura could not help laughing, looking at her old comrade, who became as docile as a big golden retriever. She commented, “I didn’t expect the high and mighty Old Dried Fish to be so docile now. Has life trained you or something else that conquered you?"Jace gritted his teeth. He could not turn around, so he had to swallow his frustration. He pretended that he heard nothing."Old Dried Fish?" Sage arched her brows slightly.Laura explained, "Jace’s nickname. Yoel and I gave it to him. Isn’t it nice?"Sage almost laughed. She glanced at the back of Jace’s head and agreed, "Yeah. It suits him."Jace silen
Laura squinted her pretty eyes sharply. Luther patted his chest and said, "I got shocked, Sage. I thought you were caressing a man."Sage was speechless.What were they thinking about? How could they mistake such a pretty girl for a man?"So what if I'm caressing a man? Can't I touch any men?"Jace glared at Sage. He would never let that happen.Before Jace could speak, a cold voice was heard."You're not allowed to," said Kane coldly.Sage and Luther both looked in Kane's direction with confusion on their faces.Laura looked up slightly. "None of y—"Kane grabbed Laura’s shoulders with his arms directly across Sage and Luther, and his face was solemn as he said, “This is your sister-in-law. My wife.”Laura was dumbstruck. Both Sage’s and Luther's jaws dropped.After a few seconds of silence, Laura grabbed Kane's arms with her shoulder against his body. She was about to slam him down, but she forgot she had just hurt her waist. Kane was unfazed and waited for her movement, b
Yoel stared at Melody, and not a single word came out of his mouth.It was the first time he saw her in simple clothes. It looked perfect on her, as if it was custom-made to her body. She looked like an angel.He thought he saw Sage and not Melody. Their unfazed expressions were like two peas in a pod.Nat looked up and down at Melody, and she was slightly threatened. "Who are you?"Melody thought for a moment and said, "If you're his ex-girlfriend, I'm his next girlfriend."What did she mean by that?Yoel's lips moved. He felt his waist aching again.Nat furrowed her brows. "You're a high schooler at most. Are you even of legal age? Such shameless words coming out of your mouth. Where are your parents, little girl? Go home."Melody slowly raised her brows and replied coldly, "I'm sorry. This is my home."Nat was taken aback.Quest heard the commotion and came over. He wore the same kind of simple clothes and looked dashingly handsome."What's up?" Quest naturally positioned
Yoel gritted his teeth with his eyes closed, anticipating the pain.However, he only felt an itch at the back of his waist and Melody's voice saying, "All done."Huh? That was it?Yoel was stunned for a bit as he opened his eyes. Before he could turn back, Melody held him down. "Don't move. It'll take 10 minutes."Yoel was dumbfounded. "You put the needles in already?"Melody replied, "Yes, it was only three needles. I could do it with my eyes closed. You can even run around once I pull out the needles."Yoel was still in disbelief. If what she said was true, how did he not feel a thing? He said to Melody, "Hey, take a photo with my cellphone. I want to see it. It's in my pants pocket.""Why would you want a photo of this?"Confused, Melody reached into Yoel's pants pocket, but her hands were in too deep. She felt something stiffen up as she searched for his phone."Don't touch that!" Yoel's face flushed bright red.Melody was unaware of what he referred to and muttered, "I d
Yoel was both surprised to see his former mate and shocked by Laura's words. He twisted his waist yet once again.That was how both Laura and Yoel ended up on the clinic beds, both getting massages and treatments.Melody gave Yoel a massage with her excellent masseuse skills. Yoel enjoyed it a lot. However, no one seemed to care about Yoel as they all looked at Sage and Laura.Kane looked at Laura's tiny waist full of concern and asked, "Will she suffer from any long-term complications?"Sage prepped the needles as she responded lightly, "It may be difficult for her to make a full recovery."Kane's sharp brows furrowed hard.Yoel was lying face down, but it did not stop him from talking. He took a look at Laura with his head tilted."Weren't you injured from the Mission Rohaim years ago? I remembered that you were nearly paralyzed from the waist down, and we all thought you had to retire. We thought you were fully healed when you came back three months later."He added, "Why do
Laura had sensed that someone was following her for a while. She was good at shaking them off stalkers as well.Recently, she was almost caught. Laura decided to run to Nadeem City to hide from them.She took a break from the company, plus her injuries were not completely healed. Laura thought it was best to avoid any trouble that would cause her to be demerited.However, she never expected the stalker to have followed her all the way there! Have they got no boundaries?"No, I got the right gal," said Kane with a determined yet unusual calm voice, with a tad mockery, "Unless you weren't the person who hit me when I was a kid?"Laura almost lost it. She had punched so many people in her life, and they usually would not even go near her. That was the first time someone came after her."Please, pal, that was ages ago. Why can't you just let it go?"Laura took a look at Kane's face and that attitude. She knew he would not let her off the hook so easily."Fine. We'll fight it out on
Sage and Laura quickly became best friends a little sooner than everyone thought.They were both direct and straightforward, and there were no issues communicating with each other. Though Laura had a military background and seemed masculine at times, she was still a little girl at heart and enjoyed pretty things.Sage spent most of her time in Nadeem City working, jade engraving, visiting Jace's mother, looking after Melody, and shopping with Laura.Laura had a banging body figure, just like models on a runway. Her androgynous style suited any of the clothes Sage picked for her, and even girls could fall for her…Sage got too excited and could not help but take pictures of her in various styles. It was like a photo shoot. Sage gasped in awe when she looked at the photos she had taken of Laura."Babe, come work for me as a brand ambassador when you retire from the military. It's a waste not taking advantage of your face and figure as a model."Laura fiddled with the bucket hat in
