Meanwhile.A plane had landed on time.Justin leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed in the business class cabin. He had hardly slept the two nights before, so he wanted to close his eyes a little during his short flight time to Isonbert today.His assistant called out in a low voice, “Chairman Laverick, we’re here.”Justin opened his eyes, and there was a cold glow in his black pupils. He got up, strode out of the plane, and walked out of the airport. There was not the slightest crease on his straight and slim high-fashion suit. His body was cold, and he had an extremely stern aura. His assistant followed behind him with hurried steps as he carried a coat in his arms.Arlo was leaning against the car body outside the airport. When he saw Justin come out, he greeted him with a smirk and said teasingly, “Didn’t someone say that he’ll only be free in a week? You couldn’t wait to come over to settle the score with Lone Shadow?”He deliberately emphasized the word ‘settle t
Miss White hesitated in place as she looked at the small box that was being handed in through the bars of the iron gate. She did not know whether she should take it or not.Justin pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “You can open it and take a look. You can help me pass it to her if there’s no problem with it.”Only then did Miss White take over the small box.When she opened it, she saw that there were some medications inside. There was also a small jar with the words ‘scar removal cream’ written on it.Miss White was relieved. “Okay, I’ll pass this to my young lady on your behalf when she comes back.”Justin then returned to the car.Arlo and Justin’s assistant also got into the car.Justin looked at the time on his watch. Time was running out, so he instructed calmly, “Go to the airport.”“Okay, okay. I know that you’re a busy man,” Arlo sighed helplessly. He started the car and headed directly for the airport as he joked, “Some people simply say one thing when they mea
Cloud, the Lord of Chaos.Sienna rubbed her eyes. She almost thought that she was mistaken. At this moment, it was peculiar as to why she would think of Harry and Cloud, the Lord of Chaos, as one person. How could that be possible?Harry was the young master of the Scott family, and he had an undeniably noble status. Although Sienna had only met Cloud, the Lord of Chaos, face to face during the last mission, she had also heard that all of Cloud’s dazzling achievements were the result of fighting in dangerous battles. The two of them could not be confused with each other at all.Sienna shook her head and withdrew her gaze.She walked to one of the trees, measured the distance of a few steps with her feet, then squatted down and began digging the sand and soil with the small shovel in her hand.Harry asked in a low voice, “Nene, what are you doing?”“Looking for the medicinal herb!”Sienna puffed and panted as she kept digging.The medicinal herb that they were looking for th
Sienna closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep as she listened to the sound of the wind in the desert.The desert was not safe at night, and there might be other animals approaching. Therefore, Kai arranged for four of his subordinates to take turns keeping watch at night.After making all these arrangements, Kai looked at Harry and said, “Master Harry, the temperature is too cold at night. You shouldn’t be out in the cold. You should go into the tent.”Harry turned around and looked in the direction of Sienna who was not too far away. He could see that there was no light in the tent. Sienna had really lay down and was resting. Harry walked to the tent beside Sienna. He lifted the curtain with cold pale hands and got in.Everything went smoothly that night. Sienna opened her eyes, opened the curtain and walked out, only to see that a small part of the wheels of the off-road desert vehicles was buried after a night of wind and sand. The sky outside was bright, and the splen
He observed the etiquette and also clearly knew when he should advance and retreat.She could not pick the slightest fault with his actions.Sienna secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Ever since their last cold war, Harry tore up their agreement on the grounds that there were loopholes in the contract when she proposed. He said that they should terminate the contract and end everything there. After that, he kept his silence on the matter. Likewise, he never mentioned that he would hold her accountable again. It seemed as if they had a mutual understanding to forget all about her drunken gaffe where she took advantage of him.Now, both of them were coexisting peacefully, without overstepping or crossing the line. His words where he was too ‘deeply engrossed in the play’ seemed to have been just a whim, and now, Harry was already the same as he was at the beginning. He was cold and detached, and he always seemed like he was unapproachable and was thousands of miles away even thou
The atmosphere in the car was silent for a second.Speaking of the incident where they got drunk that day, Matty was so drunk and unconscious at that time that he had no idea what happened next.Until now, he had always thought that his plan was unsuccessful. As such, he did not dare to appear in front of Harry for several days. It was not until he heard that they had gone to the desert to look for the medicinal herb that he decided to follow them.Sienna turned a deaf ear to Matty’s words as she pretended not to have heard anything.Harry’s eyes looked indifferent. There seemed to be light that was going on and off in his pair of dark and beautiful eyes. From a distance, it looked like there was an intoxicating tenderness in his eyes, but upon a closer look, his eyes looked as cool and calm as water. Matty shrunk his head into his body. He realized that his brother’s anger had not subsided yet. As such, he sat back in the passenger seat quietly as he did not dare to say another
Sienna refuted Matty’s view directly. “Who said so?”Matty was stunned for a moment, and he then subconsciously replied, “Isn’t that so?”The corners of Sienna’s mouth twitched slightly, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. Back then, this incident created a huge sensation, and Sienna had also heard about it in the capital city. It was said that Cloud, the Lord of Chaos, was undercover to perform an extremely terrifying mission. He had to sneak into a large multinational group to collect evidence before finally destroying it in one fell swoop!At that time, the identity of Cloud’s partner who was undercover with him was exposed when he was rescuing hostages, and he suffered all kinds of inhumane torture by the group of criminals. Cloud shot his partner and ended his life.From that point on, Cloud was charged with being selfish and seen as terrifying at the expense of shooting his own partner with his own hands in order to protect and save his own life. This
But she was just talking about Cloud just now; she did not mention him.It was baffling. Sienna did not care about his gaze. She simply picked up the bottle of water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and started drinking.Kai, who was in the driver’s seat, had already turned off the radio earlier, but the atmosphere was tense, so he tried to fix the situation as he cleared his throat and said, “Why don’t we change the topic? This topic is too serious.”“That’s right.” Matty’s spirit was lifted. He put the sluggishness that he felt earlier aside and stammered as he said, “Harry, I’m here to help you this time!”Harry did not respond. He looked out the car window at the sand and dust rising in the sky, and all kinds of emotions emerged in his dark and beautiful pair of eyes. When Sienna said those words and spoke up on his behalf earlier, he felt as if there was boiling hot lava that had instantly melted layers of ice within him. It was as if there was finally hope for a drowning ma
