What the mercenary said made Blake suspicious. He asked, "Weren't the two of them brought in by Albus?""Yes, Albus was the one who brought them in. But we're not familiar with them. Blake, this is also the first time I've seen them. Why do I feel like they seemed different from what I remember?" asked the mercenary.The mercenary walked closer and wanted to take a closer look at Chandler's and Erin's appearance. Right at that moment, Bob and Rob barged into the fort again.They came just in time as it was Chandler who gave them the order."The enemy is here!"Once someone shouted that, the mercenaries started shooting like crazy again.Blake bellowed, "Don't fucking waste the bullets! Just ignore those two useless metals!"Rob and Bob had an indestructible appearance. All the bullets bounced off them while they stood still like statues.It seemed like the purpose of their appearance was to intentionally attract attention.By the time Blake looked back at Chandler and Erin a
Of course, it was impossible for them to go back through the path they came from.They had already come so far, so how could they possibly return empty-handed? Besides, they still had not found the device to take off Erin's bracelet."You call the shots, Chandler. We'll do it if you choose to attack the fort," Taylor said with a firm expression.Chandler stood at the side alone. After he thought long and hard about it, he made a decision.At that moment, Bob and Rob returned. But they stood at the entrance to protect Chandler and the others. The drones disassembled and returned to the back of Bob and Rob, becoming one with them."We shouldn't attack. What Blake and his people want is the treasure. We'll give them that. I'll talk to Blake and ask him to work together with us," said Chandler.Without missing a beat, Erin said, "No! It's too dangerous for you to go alone. We have to go together with you.""That's right. Even if we want to work together with them, they might not a
After Lucille asked that question, Chandler took a peek at the ointment in Erin's Hand.Lucille recalled something after she saw the ointment.Two days ago, a tube of ointment that was the same as the one in Erin's hand had fallen out of Paulo's suit jacket when he laid it over his arm.After she had picked it up, she asked if his hand was injured. But he said he was not injured, and he quickly snatched the ointment back from her hand.It seemed like he cared a lot about it.Meanwhile, Chandler was momentarily lost in thought.The ointment in Erin's hand was the one Chandler had asked Alan to purchase from a research institute abroad.It was specially formulated to treat various external wounds. It could even be used by infants.He had bought this expensive, non-irritant medicine that was imported because Enny had scratched her face with her nails once.At that time, Alan even specifically told him that some of the ingredients used in this ointment were uncommon. They were not
After what Erin said, Paulo looked at Lucille, who stood far away from them.She had her back facing them. She did not look like she was crying, but she clearly looked a little nervous and uneasy.Paulo said, "Alright, I'll apologize to her."As Paulo walked toward Lucille, Chandler came up to Erin and said, "It's best if you stay out of whatever's going on between them.""Chandler, Lucille came here with us. She's Kyle's cousin. We should take better care of her. I don't want to see her suffer any resentment," said Erin.Chandler asked, "Didn't you notice? Lucille seems to really like Paulo."It suddenly became clear to Erin after Chandler reminded her.Otherwise, Paulo's attitude earlier would not have upset Lucille so much.As his bodyguard, it should be normal to her that her boss would occasionally lose his temper. Was there a need for her to be so sensitive?There was only one reason for that—Lucille might truly have a crush on Paulo.It was because she was fond of him
An hour later, Chandler and the others entered the new secret passageway. The three people who had been following in secret hid in the shadows.They were Theodore, Elliot, and Queenie.They had followed the wire rope, jumped into the river, and swam to the underground palace.They had been tailing Chandler and the others all the way here.Once they found out Chandler and Blake were going to work together, Theodore decided that they absolutely could not be exposed.Otherwise, they might be all captured. If so, they would no longer have anything to do with the treasure hunt.Elliot could not hold back anymore and asked, "Theodore, are we supposed to just keep following them like we're their shadows?"Queenie chuckled. "Elliot, if you're unhappy, just rush up to them and see if they'll accept you.""Stop making fucking sarcastic remarks, Queenie. Are you happy to just keep following them?" asked Elliot."I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just telling the truth. There are only three of
Half an hour later, Queenie and Elliot had their masks on and found Chandler and his team.Blake was pointing his gun at them.Chandler immediately said, "Don't shoot! They are one of us."Queenie and Elliot pretended like they had lost their voices from being poisoned. They made noises that sounded hoarse, but they just could not utter a complete sentence."Holly! What happened? Why are you and Kyle here?" Erin was incredibly shocked.She could not wrap her head around Queenie's appearance.Wasn't Holly abroad? Why was she there?Taylor could not believe it at all. He felt nervous and wanted to go hug her. Suddenly, someone fired a shot from the shadows.That made Taylor freeze in place.Theodore appeared behind Elliot. He had a gun in his hand and a sullen expression on his face. "Back off, all of you! Don't come any closer or I'll blow them up."His threats worked.Nobody dared to move recklessly because Queenie and Elliot had bombs around their necks. However, the bomb
Liam dropped another smoke bomb down the hole and another explosion could be heard.After he continuously dropped another two smoke bombs, the sound of explosions finally stopped. It was only then they confirmed that the coast was clear."Those three people are truly evil! They actually planted two bombs that were triggered by sensors." Draco was furious."They were worried that one was not enough to kill us. Uncle Draco, I'll first head down this hole. You and Engel can come down once I make sure it's safe down there," said Liam.Draco laughed. "Are you kidding? How can we let a kid like you risk your life? Engel, you should head down first."Engel asked expressionlessly, "Boss, what if a bomb malfunctioned and the smoke bomb didn't trigger it? Would it immediately explode if someone of my size went down?""It's possible. Don't worry. If you really triggered it, I'll gather all your remains and take them home. You'd be considered to have died in the line of duty," said Draco."
Liam, Draco, and Engel arrived at the fort and saw six men on the ground."Liam, do you know this man with a tattoo on his neck?" Draco asked.Liam replied, "I do. His name is Albus. He belongs in the same group as Blake.""It looks like they've been tranquilized and are not awake yet," Draco remarked."That's right. Let's go. We have to catch up to my parents," said Liam.Draco raised his tranquilizer gun and gave each of the six men another shot in their thighs.Liam frowned a little. "Aren't you afraid they'll die of tranquilizer overdose?""Then, that's just bad luck for them. I gave them another shot to prevent them from waking up and giving us trouble. You know that your parents are too kind to kill people," said Draco.Liam felt that what Draco said made sense. "That's right. It's just bad luck for them, then."The three of them walked toward the wall and were ready to descend with the rope. Suddenly, Draco took out a bottle of fragrance and gave himself a spray.Liam
Erin chuckled lightly as she said, "Enny would have married and fallen in love with another man sooner or later. "If that man is Paulo, I would be more than willing. Enny will be very happy in her life, and I'm at ease entrusting her to Paulo. And with Paulo being so wealthy, I don't have to worry about anyone coveting Enny's status or her family's power.""You make a good point!" Jill agreed."Jill, if your wedding with Ryder happens around the same time as Enny's, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to help you," Erin said worriedly."No worries, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Ryder and I just need to register our marriage. We've been living together for ten years anyway," Jill said.Erin nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. Weddings are quite tiring anyway, whether you have one or not."After chatting for a while, Jill heard Ryder's footsteps and said quickly, "Let's talk next time. He's coming in." …At 10:00 pm that day, Erin visited Chandler's office at his company.However, h
Ryder turned around with skepticism etched across his face. "What could possibly be wrong? Look at how anxious you are."As she leaned against the doorway, Jill held her phone aloft. There was a challenging glint in her eyes. "If you can remain that calm after hearing this news, I'll play your game with you later.""Really?" Ryder raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with."Forget it if you don't trust me." She pretended to turn away.In a swift motion, Ryder closed the distance between them."I believe you. Now, tell me," Ryder said."Enny and Paulo have settled things," Jill announced with a smirk playing on her lips."Damn! Who told you?" Ryder's curiosity peaked.Jill waved her phone triumphantly. "This is exclusive insider information! Erin personally sent a WhatsApp message, see for yourself!"Ryder snatched the phone, his eyes scanning the message rapidly.The message read, "Enny was two months pregnant with Paulo's child, and the couple had visited Paulo's parents. Whil
Cyril looked at Paulo's departing figure and sighed. "Master is so good-looking. That's why Ms. Frost has been chasing him for so many years… Actually, Master and Ms. Frost really are a perfect match!"Only after Paulo's figure disappeared into the forest did Cyril turn around silently.He was suddenly startled. "Ms. Frost…""Why so guilty? I'm not some demoness who preys on monks!" Enny exclaimed.Cyril laughed. "Ms. Frost, you're really humorous…""I'm asking you, where is your master?" Enny demanded.Cyril hesitated and said, "I don't know where Master is."Enny called his bluff. "Liar!""I really don't know," insisted Cyril."Cyril, your master is going through the most difficult time of his life. As his capable assistant and disciple, you must help him!" insisted Enny.Enny's serious expression made Cyril ask curiously, "What trouble has Master encountered?""Well, he wants to be with me, but he's too embarrassed to ask. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall
Many years later, on the day Enny got her ID card, she drove to Skycloud Mountain overnight.There was a temple on the top of Skycloud Mountain, and she was going to see someone there.By the time she struggled to the mountaintop, it was already 6:00 am the next day.Enny was dressed in black. She wore white hiking shoes with a duck tongue hat and her hair casually tied in a ponytail.Her beautiful, bare face had been a stumbling block on her path to growth.Every year, the number of men she rejected could fill several trucks.That was just among those who had the chance to approach her, while those who didn't could only watch from afar.Enny looked straight ahead, wiping the sweat that had trickled down her cheek.She took a deep breath and walked into the small, secluded temple that was cut off from the world.She finally arrived just in time on the day the new chief abbot took office. In fact, she was there to prevent the new abbot from entering the monastic life!Driven b
Erin had planned to visit Matthew's "Thinkerin City" to buy a violin and visit him.But Matthew's shop was closed, so after waiting for half an hour with Enny, she went to another store to buy one.However, she happened to meet him on the street now.Matthew slowly pushed the wheelchair toward her.He was dressed very casually. He wore a plaid shirt with short sleeves, jeans, and branded sneakers.His simple style was a far cry from his rock star days.He looked somewhat thinner, his smile faint. "Erin, did you and Enny come to buy an instrument?""Yes, we bought Enny a violin. We actually wanted to visit your store." Erin's gaze drifted to Claire, who sat in the wheelchair.Matthew responded, "Sorry, I had to take Claire to get some medicine."Although Claire had been tragically affected by Matthew's obsessive fans years ago, she survived. However, she was left mentally incapacitated and was sometimes lucid for only a few hours.Matthew was loyal, taking it upon himself to c
Chandler's appearance wasn't anything mysterious or an extraordinary entrance.It was filled with the usual beauty and romance of a typical wedding.After reaching Erin, he knelt on one knee with a face full of happiness, opened the ring box with both hands and looked up at her.He asked, "Erin, will you marry me again?"Erin's heart was filled with joy as she asked jokingly, "If I refuse, will you force me into a wedding dress and marry you?"He replied firmly, "Yes!""Since I have no choice, I suppose I must agree," she said with a smile. Erin extended her hand for Chandler to slide the engagement ring onto her finger."You will be Mrs. Frost for the rest of your life! Don't even think about escaping!" Chandler exclaimed."Ah, I won't run. I am willing to be a happy prisoner," Erin said self-deprecatingly.Ryder rolled his eyes, his expression full of sourness.Kylan caught his expression and patted his shoulder without saying a word.As Erin put on the ring, everyone pres
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again as Enny started doing Erin's makeup."I'll get it, Mom. You stay seated, okay?" Enny said."Fine, Mommy won't move." Erin winked at her. Seconds later, Enny shouted, "Godfather!""Enny! You look so beautiful!" The joy in the man's voice was palpable.Erin stood up and walked to the living room, knowing Sean had arrived.By then, Sean and another man had already entered.They closed the door behind them."Erin, I've brought a makeup artist for you," Sean said with a slight smile.The man beside him bowed politely to her. "Hello, Ms. Lane!""Maya, your male disguise is a total failure. You just slapped on some rough makeup without even wearing a realistic mask. You don't look like a man at all," Erin teased with a laugh.Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Frost's security measures are too strict. If I had worn a stranger's male mask, I wouldn't have been allowed in, and I would have been detained.""Why go through all the trouble o
Meanwhile, Erin had just gone to open the door of her hotel room.To her surprise, the person at the door was Roman."Rom! It's really you!" Erin exclaimed with joy. Dressed in a tailored white suit, Roman held a bouquet and joked, "Do you need to check my face to make sure I'm not wearing a mask?""Haha! I know it's you! Come in and let's talk. Thank you for the flowers!" Erin took the bouquet he offered and invited him inside.A minute later, Roman was sitting on the couch.He looked out to the underwater world from the floor-to-ceiling windows and remarked, "Enny and Eddie must really love this room.""Yes, the kids could watch it all night. Chandler specifically chose this type of room for the children," Erin explained.As Erin placed the fresh flowers in a vase, Roman inquired, "Where's Chandler?"Erin replied, "You should know what he's busy with, right?"Roman's gaze turned indecipherable, his tone probing as he asked, "You already know?"Erin laughed. "Yes. Did it d
Jill naturally denied it when she heard the question. "We didn't expose anything! Erin just happened to see us. What could we do? Pretend we don't know her? That's not realistic at all!""Did you really say nothing?" Ryder asked doubtfully.Calix was also skeptical as he questioned, "Erin is so sharp, and both of your acting skills are so poor. She must have figured it out."Tina exclaimed defensively, "We really didn't say anything! You two are so annoying! I'm dying of thirst here! Jill, hurry up and open the door. We can talk inside.""Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Jill echoed. She took out her room card, swiped it, and opened the door.The two women were about to close the door when Ryder stopped it with his hand. He asked, "What are you doing, not letting us in?""What are you coming in for? Don't you have your own room? Go away, we're going to take a nap!" Jill said grumpily."Taking a nap at this hour? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
