Alicia was a woman of her word. She turned her Porsche to the right and braked to a stop at the side of the road.Elio had no choice but to get out of the car. Standing by the road, he looked coldly at the white horse and the pickup truck that were rapidly approaching him. The muscles on his arm bulged with limitless strength.There was a long bag in the back seat of the Porsche. Alicia leaned over and grabbed it before sliding out of the car and opening the bag to take out a pair of silver hooks. She was a fighter as well. She was wearing a T-shirt and shorts that revealed her long, snow-white legs. Armed with the silver hooks, she looked like a heroine of old.Her white sneakers kicked off the ground, and Alicia ran wildly toward the horse. She then leaped high into the air and waved her double hooks in midair to attack the man in black, her eyes flashing coldly.Confusion flashed in Ryder’s eyes. He suddenly stood up and slashed out with his sword, deflecting the double hooks
However, they were much weaker than Angus. They were only at the level of ordinary thugs, so they never stood a chance. Elio leaped into the air and aimed multiple kicks at their heads.Bam bam! The two men immediately fainted and fell.Now, Elio had two machetes, one in each hand. He smirked coldly before flying forward and slashing at Angus with astonishing strength.Angus could no longer use one of his arms, and Elio’s aggressive attacks caught him off-guard. He lost his confidence and tried to retreat in panic.Screeech! A large van came to a halt in the middle of the road, but it could not stop before slamming into Angus. The poor driver nearly had a heart attack.However, Angus's body was as strong as steel. He only tilted his body to divert most of the force. He did not dare to fight Elio anymore, so he quickly ran around the truck to escape.It was no surprise he ran. After all, he had suddenly lost feeling in his arm, greatly reducing his combat strength. Moreover, his o
Having survived the battle together, Elio and Alicia were now comrades in arms They looked at each other and exchanged a grin before they burst out laughing.The next second, Alicia’s face flushed. "Hey, what are you laughing at?""Nothing. You’re a pretty good fighter. Thank you for your help," Elio said sincerely."You're being sarcastic, aren't you?" "Not at all, I really mean it…"Before Elio could finish his sentence, a siren sounded in the distance. Naturally, he did not want to get into trouble, so he turned to her and said, "Let's get out of here before we have to make a statement or something."Alicia had the same thought. "Get in my car.""You get inside, and I'll pick up your double hooks first. It's always best to be careful."Elio was really meticulous, Alicia realized. He did not want the police to take her weapons as evidence. She nodded and got into her car to start the engine.Seconds later, Elio rejoined her after grabbing the double hooks and stuffing them
Elio sighed softly. "You wouldn’t understand!" It was all because he loved her. That was why he would protect her no matter how painful it was!Evelyn sent him the location. He told Alicia where to go and then stopped talking, falling into deep thought.In the hotel’s private room, Evelyn sat around the table with her best friends Jenny and May. They were all beautiful, fair, and richThe fourth person at the table was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. He was handsome and wore branded clothes. He even had a million-dollar Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. He was just the type of eligible bachelor countless women lined up for.The man was May's new boyfriend, Tanner Foster. He came from a wealthy family in the city, and he was currently the general manager of his family's real estate company, Luxe Land Properties. He was tall, rich, and handsome.Young people nowadays were very open-minded and easy with intimacy. Last night, May had done her best to pleasure her boyf
When he heard that Evelyn was already married, Tanner cursed inwardly. What a waste of a stunningly beautiful woman.Even so, he still wanted to get his hands on her. So what if she was used goods? She was still top-tier!In Tanner's eyes, his girlfriend May was already useless. Even though Evelyn was married, she still had more value than May. He had to try and get her, at least once. When Jenny mentioned her husband, Tanner’s face darkened as he analyzed how difficult it would be to get his hands on her.If Evelyn's husband really was a loser Evelyn would surely resent him. In that case, Tanner thought he might stand a chance. However, when he heard that Elio had given Evelyn a BMW X5 as a birthday gift, Tanner realized the difficulty of his goal. He glanced at Evelyn to see how she would respond.Evelyn looked troubled and sighed. "I don't know what he's doing either. I heard that he's a driver for some big boss. I don’t know where he got the money to buy me a BMW either.""T
"Elio, what are you doing? You can't even afford to eat? Didn't you just give Evelyn a BMW two days ago? Are you broke aiready?" Jenny asked deliberately."That was because I won the lottery and gave Evelyn a portion of the prize money. I used the rest on the car, so I don't have any left," Elio replied.Jenny snorted. "I see! And here I thought you were rich. You were just lucky. You can’t get rich like that, you useless lout."May scoffed. "That’s why we have to be careful when we choose a man. Look at Tanner! He’s properly successful in his career. You guys don't know this, but his real estate company is negotiating a big business deal. They’re going to renovate the entire slum area!""It hasn't been officially decided yet, but it should be a matter of time. After all, no real estate company in the city is more capable than Luxe Land Properties. If we can't handle this, no one can." Tanner sipped from his glass with a smile on his lips. He was quite confident. After all, his fat
Tanner placed the five-figure watch on the table. It was exquisite!"Oh my god, it’s a Patek Philippe. This watch costs a hundred thousand dollars, enough to buy a luxury car. I can’t even imagine having something that expensive!" Jenny exclaimed in envy."Did you see that? My boyfriend's watch is worth five figures. Do you still doubt his capabilities?" May said arrogantly.Why was Elio picking fights all over the place? He was hopeless! Evelyn looked at Elio angrily and scolded, "Can you keep your mouth shut for once?"Elio appeased his angry wife with a smile. "Don’t worry, it's just a bet to lighten the mood. I’ll raise the stakes." He raised his arm, took off his watch, and placed it in front of him as well.May glanced at the watch with its strange design and snorted. "I bet you bought that watch from a street stall, right? It's worth twenty dollars at most. So much for matching the stakes! I’d say you’re taking advantage of the wager."Her best friend really misunderstood
“Fine, I accept your watch as your wager," Tanner declared.Elio smirked. "Unfortunately, your watch is the one that isn’t up to par. Considering the difference in value, I’d be at a disadvantage if I accepted the bet like this.”Jenny and May looked at each other. Elio was really arrogant. How could he say that Patek Philippe was not good enough? He was out of his mind!"Don’t act like you’re so great! I know you’re Yvonne’s little boy toy. How shameless must you be to show off the watch that woman bought for you?" May was about to go crazy with envy and hatred.Elio frowned. "Watch your mouth and stop spouting nonsense. I can walk with my head held high, it's none of your business who bought me the watch. If you can afford to match the stakes, then do it. If you can't, then forget it. Don't slander me."Tanner's face darkened. He pushed his car keys forward and said coldly, "There's nothing I can't afford. The Patek Philippe watch and a Mercedes G63 worth over two hundred thousa
