Meanwhile, the guests were having a blast in Miller's villa.Everyone raised their glasses and gave Miller their blessings."Mr. Jackel Senior, may you have a long, healthy life!""Thank you!" Miller beamed with joy.He glanced at the empty seat next to him and asked his eldest son, Quentin Jackel,
The atmosphere in the villa was heavy and subdued.Displeased, Miller glanced at Sean and said, "I'll say it again for the last time, young man. If you're here to celebrate my birthday, you're more than welcome. But if you're here to cause trouble, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave.""Ask me to
The atmosphere in the villa fell into a tense silence as every eye fixed on Sean in disbelief.None had expected him to have the audacity to speak out like that in their presence."Young man, what did you just say?" After a moment of silence, a voice from the Jackel family erupted with anger."You l
"Bringing in a troop?""Am I hearing this correctly? He's talking about bringing in a troop? And he wants them fully armed?""Who does he think he is? Does he think he's some kind of major or commander?""I bet he's just putting on a show!"The Jackel family members couldn't help but smirk in mocker
"C-Commander Linnet!"The Jackels turned pale as they gazed at the man in military attire before them, their bodies shaking violently.They never expected Sean to truly bring in a troop from the Skye City Division. To make matters worse, Howard had come in person!Wasn't Sean supposed to be a castof
"Dad, do you think we should let the Xenos family know about this?" Colton's face was etched with anxiety as he looked at Miller. At this juncture, it seemed only the Xenos family's intervention could smooth things over."Are you trying to get us killed?" Miller glared fiercely at Colton. "If the X
At the entrance of the villa, Howard couldn't hold back his concern. "Mr. Lakeworth, it appears the Jackel family members are scheming something.""I'm aware," Sean replied calmly."Then, why are you giving them three days?" Howard was puzzled."Because right now, the Jackel family is our best shot
"It really was you who called the troops!" Layla covered her mouth in disbelief. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself. After a while, she managed to pull herself together, but her gaze was still filled with wonder when she looked over at Sean. "Who are you really, Sean? Why would th
"Quickly, hold your breaths and hide your presence!" Amelia instructed in a low voice.Everyone suppressed their breaths and hid in the bushes.In the sky, a swoosh echoed, and tracking waves radiated through the air. Upon failing to detect the presence of any vital energy, they quickly left.After
"What? Did you say that Grandma and the others are here?" Selene's heart skipped a beat."Yes! Hide yourself!" Sean said urgently.Suddenly, they heard a swoosh, and before they could move a muscle, the sounds of wind breaking resounded in the forest. The strongest presence amongst them had already
"First time?" Startled, Sean then realized what she was speaking about and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, it was. What's the matter?""That explains it." Selene had a confident look on her face, as if she were now sure of something. "What do you mean?" Sean asked, puzzled."That explains why there's su
"Would you like to expose Zephyr's scheme?" Sean asked in a deep voice when he saw the iciness in Selene's eyes."Yes." Selene nodded. The disgust she held for Zephyr was undisguised in her tone."The Ten Great Families are still in the dark; even if both of us combine forces, we're far from being Z
"Selene, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I couldn't control myself." Upon hearing Selene's low mumbling, Sean felt the numbness in his scalp intensify.Even though he had been forced to take action in this incident, he took the initiative to claim the responsibility. After all, Selene was at
Selene moaned softly, gradually waking up.Sean took in a sharp breath and felt his scalp turning numb. This was bad! He hurriedly got up, wanting to clear up the scene.However, when he looked at the clothes strewn across the floor, he knew that it was too late to dress Selene and cover her body.
Sean's body tensed, his mind resonating with a thunderous roar.Before he could react, Selene's soft lips pressed firmly against his. Her tongue, sweet yet tentative, explored his mouth.In an instant, heat ignited within Sean like a wildfire. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he swiftly pushed
"Selene, what are you doing?"Sean's heart skipped a beat as Selene suddenly embraced him from behind, resting her head against his chest.He sensed that if this continued, it could lead to serious trouble.At that moment, Selene's breath hitched.The sensation of Sean's body pressed against hers, a
Sean's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected Selene to kiss him so passionately!Her lips were remarkably soft, and her tongue moved with nimble grace, despite her lack of experience. Fueled by the ambergris, her kiss was intense and fiery.At that moment, Sean felt as if he were about to mel
