A resounding explosion boomed from a corner of Juxor City!Then, a mushroom cloud rose to the air, its massive flames exceedingly blinding in the darkness.It was rising from the direction of the secret factory!Justin’s pupils dilated, and he leveled a sinister, fiery gaze straight at Sienna.However, he was too furious to notice a red dot hovering over his body—a signal that a sniper had taken aim at him.Nonetheless, Sienna remained impassive as she took a step to the side, and the red dot landed on her back instead.The sniper was just about to pull the trigger right then but was startled and quickly moved his finger away from the trigger.Blake, who had hacked the cameras nearby, saw that as well, and almost lost his mind right then. "Move, Sienna!" He barked into the transmitter, "Don't stand in front of Justin! The sniper could shoot you by accident!"Sienna simply hung up on him, which left him punching the table in rage. He had no idea what Sienna was up to, and so
"No, you weren't late," Sienna replied flatly as she glanced at Hunter and his boys. "In fact, your timing was perfect."Meanwhile, Justin’s expression turned even colder after what had happened—this was his turf!Without a word from him, more goons and professional bodyguards charged toward the courtyard, but Sienna had been staying at the manor for a while now. She knew that Justin's forces outnumbered hers. A lot of them had arrived in waves and fully occupied the courtyard.But was Sienna panicking?Not at all.She had no assurances when it came to anything else, but she had confidence in her men.Be it Hunter, the never-serious Monki, or Chase, who had been putting on weight lately—they were all veterans who had seen actual combat and survived death. To say that they could fend off hundreds by themselves was no exaggeration.Sienna's gaze remained serene as well. She wanted to talk things out calmly with Justin, which was why she had stopped the sniper. After all, even if J
Arlo was stunned, just like Justin, who was still left on the floor, shock and disbelief showing in his cold gaze."Boss!' When Hunter, Monki, and the men saw that Sienna was wounded, all of them saw red and quickly defeated every goon standing in their way to Sienna."What happened, boss?" "Are you alright?"They all asked all once, making a circle around her.Sienna shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just a scratch."After that near-miss, the snipers in the distance did not dare to fire on a whim now. Hunter quickly tore a sleeve off his sheet to stop the bleeding, and Sienna did not stop him as she rose to her feet, watching Justin as she said, "It's not just snipers. SIA is on their way here—you still have a chance to run."With that, she started to leave with Hunter and the rest.That was when Justin suddenly asked, "Londyn Shadow, why did you save me?"And after she had deceived him?Though the gates of the manor were locked tightly, Sienna leaped and stood on top of
When Blake heard this, he clenched his teeth even harder in fury!“You still have the nerve to say that? I already shouted until my voice was hoarse to ask you to avoid it so that you wouldn't get hurt by accident. Unexpectedly, you still rushed toward the muzzle even though you knew that the sniper had already opened fire. Tell me: Don’t you think that you were acting like an idiot?”Blake was still angry after scolding her, and he continued babbling. The more he spoke, the more outrageous he sounded. “Sienna, why were you trying so hard to save Justin? Aren’t you afraid that he will retaliate against you in the future? Or could it be that he has already moved your heart after you went undercover for a few days?”“…”This was simply ridiculous.Sienna rolled her eyes angrily. Although she knew that Blake was only acting like this out of concern for her, many things could not be explained simply by looking at the surface. Take the Laverick family as an example—even if they kille
Sienna was utterly speechless.It was a very good and powerful excuse.It was no wonder why Harry had an aura that was extremely indifferent and cold, as if he could turn things into ice, when she saw him downstairs earlier. Sienna was helpless as she rubbed her brows. ‘So, Colson, Miss White, and the rest know that I have gotten into an argument with Harry and then left in anger? So, should I take the initiative to say something to Harry to end this cold war in order to show that my anger has subsided?’Sienna sighed and lay directly on the bed as she pretended to be dead. ‘Forget it. I’m exhausted.’Bona blinked, and her face was filled with innocence as she asked, “Nene, did I come up with a bad excuse?”“No, it’s very good. Bona, you’re so smart.”Sienna patted the young girl’s head to comfort her.Bona saw the bandage on Sienna’s arm and exclaimed, “Nene, you’re injured!”“Oh, it’s just a superficial injury. I’m fine.”“No, there’s blood coming out!” Bona was so anx
Under the dim light, the man’s beautiful pair of eyes looked as deep as the sea with a deadly fatal allure, as if they could suck people in.“Harry?”Sienna almost bit her tongue.She overreacted like a cat who was suddenly frightened, and her beautiful pupils were so dilated that they were big and round. Harry leaned closer to her and let out a low laugh as he said, “Nene, there is a study that says people’s pupils will only dilate when they see someone they love. You’re looking at me like this now. Do you love me?”The medicinal scent came at the moment when he got closer to her.The cold and domineering aura belonging to Harry was very pervasive, with an invading energy that surrounded her little by little.Sienna felt her heart skip a beat. She dodged angrily and said, “If that's true, there must be many people who love me, then!”Harry raised his eyes and asked, “Huh?”His tone was neither light nor heavy, but it had a somewhat dangerous aura. Sienna simply sat up as s
“What is it?”Sienna was puzzled.In the next second, the man’s low and provocative voice sounded in her ear—“Nene, remember to take me with you the next time you run away from home.”‘Nene, remember to take me with you the next time you run away from home.’It felt like fireworks had exploded in the dark night sky; it felt like a seed buried in the soil which had suddenly sprouted; it felt like ripples on a calm lake. Sienna sat on the big bed and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.Harry left the room. In order to put what he has said about applying medication for her twice a day into practice, he even took the medical kit away on purpose!Sienna rubbed her temple.Not long after, the closed room door was pushed open again.This time, it was Bona who came in. The young girl had a silly smile on her face with a hint of triumph as she walked in and said, “Nene, I made soup for you to nourish your body!”‘Is it really soup, though?’Sienna’s eyelids twit
The person who opened the door was a young man who was about the same age as Colson. He had a svelte appearance, was gentlemanly, scholarly, and also had a soft expression and a smile that showed just the right amount of alienation and intimacy. He was neither aggressive, nor did he seem too cold.Sienna knew him.To be precise, there was indeed such a person in the original owner’s memory.His name was Simon.He was Colson’s classmate and long-time friend. The original owner had met Simon several times before.Simon asked, “Is my brother here?”“Yes. Come in.” Simon smiled and stepped aside. After Sienna came in, he closed the door and said, “Your brother has been looking for you for several days now. He did not sleep at all last night, and he even took me with him to look for you. He’s just fallen asleep now. I’ll go and get him.”“Okay.”Sienna nodded and then said, “Sorry for making you guys worry.”Simon smiled and did not say anything.Soon, Colson, who heard the ne
The wind blew, and there were wrinkles in the lake.Her heart was also in turmoil.Sienna looked away. Of course, she did not really mean to leave, not to mention, the things that she brought with her had not come in handy yet.Sienna broke away from Harry’s grip, then walked to the group of rocks where she had just sat down and picked up a bag on the ground which contained more than a dozen hand-folded paper cranes.There was a small candle on top of the paper cranes, and a paper-folded disc was placed underneath. The candles could be lit and then placed in the water. Sienna took out a lighter, lit a few, then put them in the water. After that, she looked at Harry, raised her brows, and said, “Here, want to do it together?”Harry sat down beside her. He looked at the delicate paper crane in his hand, then thought for a moment and asked, “Did you fold all these?” “Yes.” Sienna looked at the faint candlelight on the water and said slowly, “When I was young at about the age of e
Eagor was immediately excited. It flew twice around Sienna before returning to its nest.By a lake, a few kilometers away from Lang Garden.Harry’s eyelashes were half drooping under the moonlight. His thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on his eyelids, and his handsome face looked extremely secretive. It seemed as if he was covered with a layer of fog which was light and stunning, but it was impossible to see him clearly. Sienna sat down next to him.This was a group of rocks, which was cold and uncomfortable.But that was not the point. The point was that she was here.A trace of surprise flashed across Harry’s eyes, and there was also a certain emotion on his usually calm and unperturbed face as he asked, “Why are you here?” Sienna looked at the lake in front of her, raised her eyes, and said, “I can’t let you enjoy such beautiful scenery alone.”Under the moonlight, there were layers of mountains and rivers in front of them, and the neatly planted pines and cypresses s
Sienna paused for a moment and subconsciously replied, “Aren’t we going to Scott Mansion to see Lady Scott tomorrow?” “We are going to Scott Mansion to see my grandmother tomorrow. Just accompany me tonight, okay?”The corners of Harry’s mouth curled into a shallow arc, and the clear aura around his body dispersed. He was extremely gentle. “Okay?”Sienna keenly felt that Harry’s speech at the moment was different from usual, but she could not tell what the difference was. After a brief moment of hesitation, she declined, “It’s already very late. Let’s rest early.”“Okay.”Harry got up. He was still smiling as he said, “Goodnight, then.”He then left.The dining room instantly became quiet, and Harry’s invisible charming aura gradually dissipated. The crystal lamp above Sienna’s head did not move and was emitting a warm glow.Sienna wiped her mouth, then got up and left the dining room.When she was about to go upstairs to her room to rest, she inadvertently heard someone
‘At this time, an elderly pretty boy lost the light in his eyes.’‘The person who left the comment above should compensate me! You caused me to drop my mask because I laughed!’When the production team saw that the effect was so good, they decided to let Keegan move around in the virtual world longer before letting him down.It so happened that the live broadcast time was too short, and the viewers were reluctant to leave the live broadcast room because of the high popularity and the heated discussions. As such, they simply made Keegan perform a 360-degree spin!…When Sienna returned to Lang Garden, she received the income from this live broadcast. With Harry’s crazy reward and the accumulation of countless gift rewards that she had received from hundreds of millions of viewers, Sienna made quite a considerable income.In addition, this live broadcast was a great success. It had great popularity, and the Universal Atrium would also get a huge share of the profit.Sienna was sat
Quentin was stunned for a moment. He could not bear it, and he immediately stepped forward and carried Clara, then walked out without saying a word.After he left, Christina, who had been watching this scene, sneered and said, “Pfft, she’s really good at putting on an act. Clara is really a master when it comes to manipulating men.”The live recording stopped here.This was probably the shortest episode of the live broadcast of the large-scale reality variety program, Ninja Survival, and it was probably the most thought-provoking episode.Quentin brought Clara to the hospital.Hank went home with lingering fears.The other guests who also ‘died’ also dispersed in groups of twos and threes. Jonas tried to speak to Sienna, but Sienna ignored him several times. In the end, he could only bow his head and leave in frustration. The live broadcast this time was extremely popular, and many media and reporters were gathered at the entrance of the Universal Atrium.They flocked up fra
Jonas suddenly came to his senses. He let go of Clara’s hand and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain and forest!He would only be facing death if he were to go there in the face of such raging flames. It was even more likely that he would not be able to find Sienna anywhere.But he went anyway.Hank, who was on the beach, had sobered up and was witnessing everything that had just happened. When he looked at Jonas’s back, he mocked, “At least, he still has a conscience.”But at this moment, a person fell down from the mountain wall.She was covered in blood and bruises. It was Sienna.Jonas glanced at her inadvertently. The moment he saw Sienna, he stopped in time, ran over, and asked, “Sienna, how did you get hurt so badly?” Sienna pointed at the high mountain wall and said indifferently, “It’s good enough that I survived.” Hank gulped and made a bold assumption, “Sienna, you… you didn’t rock-climb all the way down, did you?”“Yes.” Sienna nodded lightly. When Ha
In Clara’s eyes, as long as she cried and acted coquettishly, everything would be over just like that.It was just like every other time in the past. However, what she did not expect was that Jonas, who was watching her cry, was indifferent as he asked her a question in a tone that was so calm that it seemed almost unfamiliar to her. “Clara, did you really take care of me?”“…” Clara’s face was instantly pale. When Jonas was unconscious, she was busy being intimate with Quentin in order to enhance and strengthen her relationship with him.Clara said that she took care of him, but in fact, she had only been sitting next to him. Moreover, she was not the first to find out that he was down with a high fever. “Jonas…”Clara wanted to explain, but Jonas interrupted her indifferently, “Clara, I was still conscious even when I was unconscious.”Because he was conscious, he knew of Clara’s indifference and contempt for him; because he was conscious, he knew that Clara and Quentin
Christina was already waiting for him. When she saw that Quentin had opened his eyes, she walked forward with a smile and described everything that happened when he was unconscious to him in great detail.Christina was afraid that Quentin would not believe her, so she deliberately borrowed the staff’s cell phone to view the archive of each time period of the live broadcast. “Quentin, come here and take a look.”…In the virtual world, not long after Jonas had carried Hank ashore, he heard a second explosion in the forest!He suddenly raised his head and looked toward the cliff. His heartbeat quickened in an instant, and his mind even went blank.He escaped, but what about Sienna?There was only one parachute cloth. He landed successfully with Hank, but what about Sienna?Jonas raised his head, and his eyes suddenly flushed red in an instant. He originally thought that Sienna was urging him to jump down because she wanted to do an experiment. As such, he never thought that he
‘It is a fact that Clara didn’t hesitate to push Jonas from behind so that she could escape when they encountered the red fire ants before. Is this also considered right? Doesn’t this give you chills or make you feel scared? ‘Let me ask you, what will you feel when you’re facing the person that you’re desperately trying to protect and she suddenly stretches out her hands to push you to your death? Can you still empathize with her then? Can you still praise her for being kind? I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.’When the super fan was done speaking, the live broadcast room was even more deadly silent.However, Clara did not know anything about this.When she was desperately running forward, the only thoughts in her mind were to escape as soon as possible, find rescue as soon as possible, and then go back alive…Although she liked Quentin and also wanted to marry into the Kane family and become the veritable young mistress of the Kane family, the premise was that she would have to sur
