    "How did you get in the trap of that girl, Xavier? You should have realized that she was something planning when she asked you to tell your bodyguards to leave. I can't believe you could do such a stupid thing," Duke exclaimed, looking at Xavier. "The girl was so beautiful and she looked so innocent. I didn't realize that behind her innocent face, there was such a devil. I won't let this matter end here like this. I will definitely get my revenge," Xavier said to him and smiled devilishly. "Don't talk rubbish, Xavier. You have crossed your line too. She was an innocent girl. You presented to be her well-wisher, then you asked her to sleep with you. What is wrong with you?

    Hearing her words, Xavier smiled softly. Amelia looked at Xavier and said, "One minute why are you asking me about Lelia? Do not try to make a move on her. She is a very good girl.

    "Why did you have to go through so much trouble to get army training? You are not an army officer, so why did you go through so much trouble to get army special training?"

We are trapped in a big danger. What is there to laugh about here?"Xavier spoke up fisting the bullets in his hand, "They are using the bullets I made to kill me. It is amazing that the bullets I made for the pro
