When Carson stretched out his hand to pull her, Angeline launched her ultimate move. She groped her way to Carson's arm, then rolled over him like a phantom snake to his back, clenching his neck deftly.Carson ended up in the same position as Spencer.They had underestimated the enemy!"This blind girl knows martial arts?" someone blurted out loud.Cole was astounded!Actually, he had been paying attention to Angeline the moment she stepped into the stronghold’s main gate.She carried a similar charm to that of Angeline’s, but both of them looked different. Coupled with the fact that she was only a weak blind girl, Cole did not think that she was Angeline.However, she knew martial arts and shared the same agility as Angeline. The question popped up in Cole’s mind once again. Was she Angeline?As Angeline was still weak, she was gradually losing the strength to restrain Carson. Carson took the opportunity to seize her wrist and lift her up before smashing her to the ground.
All of Carson’s prowess and swagger had seeped out of his body. At this very moment, he was just like a coward, running up and down all over the place to avoid Zayne’s fists.Jay let go of Cole's hand reluctantly. Instead of taking revenge, Cole rushed up to Angeline immediately and bent down in front of her, waving his hands in front of her eyes.When he saw Angeline’s unresponsive eyes, Cole's heart sank. He called out softly, "What happened to your eyes, Angeline?"Angeline resented all the disaster and sorrow Cole had brought her. She snapped, saying, "It’s all thanks to you."The joy and delight in Cole's eyes started drowning out little by little. Angeline was certainly not here to renew their relationship.She came to him with such deep-seated resentment. Why else was she here if not for revenge?He grew cautious. "You must be tired, Angeline. Why don’t you stay and have a good rest? We can always talk later.”All he wanted to do was escape—to escape the edge in Angeline’
There was also a wooden sign hanging in front of the bamboo house courtyard. Written on it was the name of the courtyard: Refreshing Breeze!Jay gazed at Angeline who was standing right next to him. It turned out that Angeline was like a refreshing breeze to Cole. Cole had been looking forward to her arrival and here she was at last.A refreshing breeze was something intangible, though! If Cole wanted to win Angeline’s heart, then he could dream on.Jay suddenly held Angeline's hand tightly, his domineering and possessive personality starting to kick in. It gave him a strong urge to merge her into his own body.Cole brought them to the middle of the bamboo courtyard. Jay and the group picked their favorite bedrooms and finally settled in.Cole said to Angeline, "Let me know if you need anything else, Angeline. I will ask the servants to sort it out for you."Angeline said politely, "Sorry for the trouble."Cole's complexion darkened. He could distinctly sense that he and Angelin
At this moment, the secret agent equipment he carried with him started beeping. "An infrared device is detected ahead." The young man pulled down the glasses placed on the top of his head, and suddenly, dense red lines appeared in his field of vision."Damn, are they that afraid of dying that they need to use such a sophisticated defense system? I don’t think even flies can get through this, right? Bad people never die!”The young man swiftly shuttled between the infrared rays, and after getting through the infrared barrier, the system beeped again. "Be careful, toxic device detected ahead."The young man looked displeased. "You don’t need to warn me about this low-level defense equipment. Don't you think you’re too noisy?"The system sounded extremely wronged. "Okay then. All the best."The young man sighed. "I need to get to 48 Stronghold to find that b*stard Cole before I grab the treasure. I must teach him a lesson."The agile young man quickly disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, the wall started shifting and a human-shaped opening appeared. With a leap, Carson jumped out of the opening.When the young man noticed that something was amiss, the wall had sealed up. Thousand Pounder started raining down on him from above. Then, at the speed of light, the young man bolted for the window.However, he was too far away from the window, hence it was almost impossible to escape from this distance. At the very last moment when the young man’s leg was out the window, his other leg was slashed by the sharp Thousand Pounder blades that rained down on him.He struggled to pull his leg out, and the injury on his leg made it difficult for him to move.At this moment, Carson switched on the lights in the villa.He was confident in thinking that the assassin had died from the raining blades.When he saw the empty bedroom, however, Carson panicked and punched the alarm system immediately.48 Stronghold’s Corvettes rushed out at once.When the young man heard the
The young man curled up in her arms.Baby Robbie would do the same thing whenever he did something wrong. He would embrace her by the waist as firmly as he could and act like a spoiled child. ‘I was wrong, Mommy. Please don't be mad at me,’ he would say.Then, she made a baffling decision by tearing off her clothes and revealing her bare chest. She stretched her arms out of the blanket.She then pretended to cry out in a drowsy voice, "What's going on, Ben?"When Jay heard Angeline's voice, he opened the door.At the sight of Angeline's bare chest and arms sticking out of the blanket, Jay quickly closed the door.Despite that, Cole still inadvertently saw the dazzling sight in the room.Jay glared fiercely at Cole!Cole pondered in his heart that if Angeline was not blind, then she would have screamed in embarrassment earlier.Cole asked curiously, "What exactly happened to her eyes?”“She cried herself blind," Jay replied curtly.His tone carried an intense harshness and se
The Corvettes searched all night, but the assassin was nowhere to be found. They had seemingly evaporated into thin air.The next day, Spencer came to 48 Stronghold.He summoned Cole into a secret room and asked with a solemn expression, "Cole, the assassin last night was able to get through the various barriers we’ve set up in Mount Pearl. He’s clearly a well-trained martial artist. I’ve been thinking about it. The assassin appeared immediately after Angeline did. Could they be working together from the inside out?”Cole remained silent...Spencer looked puzzled. "Angeline is nothing but a strong businesswoman in Imperial Capital, but her bodyguard was capable of catching my darts. I don't understand. Why does she have such an extraordinary man by her side?"Cole was still silent...When Spencer saw how Cole did not utter a word, the doubt in his eyes started overflowing. "Are you keeping something from me, Cole?"There was a hint of weariness in Cole's voice. "I’ve said what n
Cole was suddenly a little flustered when he saw the bloodthirsty look in Spencer's eyes. "Dad, Angeline is just a weak and feeble woman. As you can see, she has lost her vision as well."When he talked about ‘vision loss’, Cole choked up with emotions. "It’s my fault. I killed her husband. She cried herself blind. I owe her too much."Spencer said angrily, "You’re too soft-hearted. You saw it yourself. Her bodyguard is definitely no ordinary man. Judging from the skills of that guy called Ben, he’s more than capable of wreaking havoc in the Yorks’ stronghold."Cole explained, "She’s blind. She needs someone like that to protect her."Spencer said, "Well I think you’re blinded by love. Think about it. That guy called Ben can certainly make a big break with his own ability, so why would he choose to stay beside a woman like a useless coward?"Cole said, "If I'm not mistaken, Ben is probably a bodyguard given to Angeline by the eldest grandson of the Ares family, Jay Ares. Jay was t
