It was a quiet night with a few stars adorning the night sky.At this time in Juxor City, Justin gazed at the thick stack of files in front of him. These documents clearly confirmed many experiments that had been ongoing in the secret factory all this while.The truth turned out to be exactly what Lone Shadow had told him! The man whom Justin had wholeheartedly trusted was the one who took the initiative in producing deadly poison gas for financial gain! Justin was sitting on the sofa. The look in his eyes was icy cold and razor sharp.“What else do you have to say, Uncle?”The middle-aged man who appeared unkempt stood in the living room and made an effort to defend himself. He urged, “Justin, listen to me. I didn't want to do this, but their offer was too generous. I did this because I was too tempted by their conditions. Justin, you grew up under my watch. Can’t you give me another chance and forgive this small glitch of mine?”“A small glitch?” Justin was so mad that h
Revenge?Arlo restrained a smile of contempt and raised a brow, saying, "That's going to be difficult—she is Lone Shadow, and from the intel I gathered, her whereabouts are never known. No one knows where she is, and you'll never find her!"Justin was naturally aware of that as well, but he was too stubborn to give up on anything he set his mind on.As such, even if finding Lone Shadow was no different from finding a needle in a haystack, he would scrounge through the haystack at least once!"I don't think she can hide from me!" Justin growled, lifting his dark gaze.Arlo shook his head before he turned around and left the room. His car was already waiting outside, and he instructed the driver once he got in, "Drive. Take me to the airport."… Arlo's private jet streaked through the night sky before landing at Isonbert at 10.00PM.The instant he got off, he found a tall, slim figure waiting by the road. Chuckling, he called out, "Felicity."The figure turned around, and it wa
’No way! Did she stand me up?!‘Still, that’s not quite right because I came here on my own volition.’Stopping a girl nearby, he asked, "Excuse me, but would you happen to know where Sienna Lang is? Is she not coming today?"It just so happened that the one he had stopped was Clara, who studied him from head to toe. Though she decided that he was not from Isonbert, she could tell that he was from an important family.But why would a person like him be looking for Sienna?Combing her hair behind her ear, Clara flashed her impeccable smile as she replied, "I don't know. She's always skipping classes, so she's probably doing it today as well.""Oh. Thanks."Arlo was not at all disappointed. However, since he would be staying at Isonbert for a while, he would definitely meet her!However, although he came to the university over the next three days as well, he still did not manage to meet her. It was not until the following week that Sienna finally showed up at school. Having bee
In the perspective of the onlooking students, it was all a show—a delightful feast! Meanwhile, Flora was glaring ahead furiously, her conceit there for all to see as she yelled at the girl, "Tell me, Janice—why did you go through great lengths to help that b*tch, Sienna? Do you regret opposing me now? Say you do and beg for mercy… then I just might consider sparing you!"Nonetheless, Janice said nothing.Her resistance and refusal was too obvious!"Fine. Have it your way!" Flora laughed icily. "You asked for it, b*tch!"This time, she fired a shot with everything she got!Whack!The tennis ball shot forward like a bullet, but just as it was about to hit Janice on the face, a slim figure abruptly appeared before it picked up the tennis racket on the ground and returned the shot with a backhand! Pow!This time, the tennis ball shot out with even more power and precision back toward Flora, hitting her squarely in the forehead, sending her stumbling backward with a loud yelp.F
Flexing her wrist, Sienna said nonchalantly, "Cut the crap and start serving."Flora was already raring to go, and her fiery eagerness was showing all over her face.She was an avid tennis player who had taken part in various tournaments. With her skill and physique, Sienna just might lose even if they were playing singles, and now, she had four of her lackeys on her side!"Serve!" she snapped loudly at one of her lackeys, who sent the tennis ball streaking toward Sienna!Everyone else was watching the match wide-eyed—including Janice. She had stayed amongst the crowd despite her limp and could feel cold sweat on her palms. As everyone looked on, Sienna swung her racket, sending the ball back from whence it came, hitting the server with a smack!In fact, she did the same for every subsequent ball sent at her, which left Flora gritting her teeth in frustration. "No more games! Serve together!" After all, with everyone launching their balls at Sienna endlessly, she doubted tha
Arlo stepped out from the crow, studying Sienna as if she was an item while he flashed his self-indulgent smile. His gaze seemed to sparkle even as he spoke casually. "You certainly deserve the title of Isonbert's most beautiful lady."In fact, he had thought everything about Sienna was an exaggeration before meeting her. But at this very moment, he must admit that the lady before her was as intoxicating as she was unforgettable.Nonetheless, Sienna remained impassive despite Arlo's flattery. In fact, she wanted to roll her eyes.‘Is the world really this small? Why did Arlo show up here, of all places?”Fortunately, she had put on a disguise before taking on the mission of spying on Justin and never showed her true face. As such, she was not worried that Arlo would recognize her even if they were face-to-face.Throwing her tennis racket aside, Sienna cut a path through the crowd and left, while Janice mustered her courage and gingerly followed her."You were waiting for me,
The lady before Arlo had just told him that he did not catch her eye, and he almost could not believe his ears. Nonetheless, he restrained his irritation and asked, "Really? Do you not find me attractive at all?" Sienna merely gave him a look of sympathy. "Sorry, sir, but what gave you such confidence?"It was a ruthless line, and it left Arlo's face pale!For the first time, he actually doubted his looks. Was he not handsome enough? Not attractive enough? Or perhaps he was not important enough?Suddenly, he felt like he had had a bucket of water poured over him as he pondered the meaning of his existence.Meanwhile, Sienna was not bothered to entertain him further, and Janice just happened to be leaving the nurse's room."Let's go," she said."Okay," Janice replied.Still, as she jogged to catch up to Sienna, she spotted a patch of redness on Sienna's sleeve and gasped in surprise, "Sienna, y-you're hurt! There's blood on your wrist!"Sienna did a double take and soon real
"Got it," Sienna replied and headed upstairs.The door to her room was not locked, and Sienna entered to find Harry sitting on the couch beside her bed, casually flipping through a book on her desk, his long, clean fingers looking firm and strong. The bedroom was brightly lit, throwing a warm glow over his chiseled face. As always, his visage projected warmth, and his dark, blazing gaze drew people in like a blackhole. That was when he looked up from the book and saw Sienna.None of them spoke, and the bedroom was so silent one could hear a pin drop.Sienna had an idea why he was here, and hence took out the contract signed before from her drawer and handed it to him. "The contract period may be over, but the conditions we agreed upon still apply—I’ll help you root out the poison in your body, so you don't have to worry about that."Harry stared at her for a long while, but a storm was now brewing behind his calm gaze."I've been gone for days, but this is all you can think ab
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
