Finally, Silas revealed his request. Dragos was beyond the reach of society, and had survived on its own with its own clan laws away from the rest of the world. They never caused trouble to anyone… but that didn't mean they could have peace. The dragon's saliva was their clan treasure which blessed their land, but its rarity and value had brought them a lot of danger. Over the years, the number of greedy people that tried to attack the village had increased, each more scheming than the other. It was clear that the dragon's saliva brought them more trouble than blessings, so the villagers of Dragos had to find something to protect them if they wanted to survive. Silas had been worried sick about such things until he met Stefan. Although Stefan was rude, he was different from the others who had come to the village. Silas could tell he was a refined person, and that had given Silas hope. On that day, the guards at the memorial chamber had caught Stefan, tied him up, and left him in the

Hence, the negotiation helped both parties reach a compromise, and they were no longer at odds with each other.Silas fished out a contract, and both Quinton and Xavier put their thumbprints on it. It meant that they would cooperate to protect Dragos and help the ancient village thrive. "Okay, we've agreed to your request. Can you let him go now?" Xavier asked impatiently as he wiped away the red ink on his thumb."Gentlemen, come with me." Silas led Xavier and Quinton to the memorial chamber, the most sacred place in the village. Generally, only men of the village could enter it, and outsiders could not approach it, but an exception was made for Xavier and Quinton since Stefan was locked up in the innermost part of the memorial chamber."Ugh… This place is so strange!" When Xavier entered the memorial chamber, he saw the large stalactite statues using the dim lamp Silas had given them, and marveled at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. It amazed Quinton too. "I've seen

"He escaped?" Xavier was initially confused, but when he walked over to where Quinton was standing and looked up, he saw an air vent around seven meters above the ground in the dark room. It was about the size of a well, and though it was quite small, an agile person might be able to escape through it. Additionally, there were some footprints on the wall."Those look like Stefan's!" Xavier observed the footprints, realizing they were from a pair of hiking shoes Stefan had worn before leaving home."He escaped from here?" Silas looked up at the narrow air vent incredulously. "No, it can't be. This air vent is so small, and it'd be hard for someone to crawl out of it. Plus... it's a straight cliff beyond this passage without anything to lean onto. If anyone tried escaping, they'd surely fall to their death!" "What... What did you say?" Xavier's eyes grew wide, and he quickly crawled into the passage and punched open the iron grill on the air vent. Dim light entered the room, making i

"We don't know what happened, and there's no point in fighting. We need to find him first!" Quinton sighed. "Nothing's confirmed yet. I was supposed to die at sea back then, but I'm standing here in front of you, aren't I?"Xavier glared at him, but gradually calmed down. "You're right, nobody knows what happened to him. He's an amazing person, so I'm sure he's fine!"After he had calmed down, he discussed the situation with Quinton and the villagers, and they started looking for Stefan around the mountains. They must see him even if he was dead. If not, it meant that there was a chance that he was still alive.-A week had passed.Renee took the medicine on time every day in Beach City. She was getting better, and could now get out of bed on her own and eat. She could even walk up and down the stairs. Owen gave her a check-up and smiled happily. "It's good news, Ms. Everheart! Your body mass index is back to normal. If everything goes smoothly, you won't even have to take the m

Both Leia and Renee walked to the back garden, where the warm sunlight and fragrance of flowers seemed to make the world a better place.Leia finally decided to bring up Stefan when she saw Renee so gloomy. "Don't worry, Ren. They're probably not back yet because that place is far away. Since we haven't heard anything yet, it's probably good news. Plus, Stefan isn't an ordinary man, and Quinton and that dog Xavier have gone to help him. I'm sure they're fine.""I know... I know they'll be fine." Renee nodded and forced a smile. "I just feel like… the weather's so nice, and the flowers will wilt if he doesn't come back soon. It'll be a waste of good time.""It's okay. Flowers will blossom again even if they wilt. It's fine as long as you're happy and healthy when you welcome him home," Leia said brightly, hoping to cheer Renee up. She felt bad because Renee was sulky all the time. "Are you worried about Xavier?" Renee asked curiously."Why should I be worried about a dog?" Leia sc

Renee chuckled. "Of course I'm happy to have you with me. I don't find you annoying. I just feel that you guys have been taking care of me all the time like I'm a baby, and it made me rely on you. I don't want to keep on being like this. It's time for me to face the world alone." "What did you say? What nonsense is that?" Leia asked anxiously, frightened by Renee's words. Both Stefan and Quinton were not around, so Leia was responsible for taking care of Renee. What if something happened to Renee, or she became even more unhappy? If that happened, Stefan and the others might hack Leia into pieces, and she might even kill herself."Do you remember the last time I left Everheart Manor?" Renee asked Leia vaguely."Let me think about it..." Leia frowned contemplatively, and realized that it had been a very long time since Renee had gone out. "It was probably the time when Shirley's fans attacked us, but that wasn't your fault. I was careless, and it gave them the opportunity to attack

"Ah... it's not a good idea to go out now. Why don't you wait a little?" Leia suggested hesitantly, but in actuality, she couldn't say no to Renee when she asked her something so coquettishly. After a while, she agreed."I heard that Miss Band is coming to Beach City for a performance at Hill Pub. Let's go check it out!" Renee said excitedly, sounding like she had just been released from prison. Miss Band was an old band from Eliwern, and it was the band she and Leia loved the most during their college days. It was an old band from Eliwern. Renee, Leia, and Liam formed a band because they idolized them, and they had then become a legend in BC University and gained a lot of fans. But a few years ago, Miss Band had disbanded, upsetting many of their fans. After being low-key for a few years, the band had now started going on tours around the world with its original members. It was such a rare chance, and Renee didn't want to miss it."Yes, we can go there but... Why don't we just watch
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1697
The pub was overcrowded, and everyone was eagerly waiting for Miss Band to appear. Leia and Renee wore dark punk clothes with large sunglasses and dreadlocks. They looked like cool young women who loved rock music."Ren, it's cramped and stuffy here. Why don't we go back?" Leia held Renee's hand firmly the whole time, and the noise nearly drowned her voice. "Okay, let's go in!" Renee didn't hear Leia. She looked happier than she had been for a long time. She kept feeling things around her as she moved through the crowd, trying to get closer to the stage. As she did so, she accidentally stepped on the foot of a young woman."Hey, what are you doing? Are you blind? You stepped on my foot!""I'm so sorry!" Renee kept nodding and apologizing. "Do you think saying sorry will help? Have you never watched a performance before? Why do you keep pushing me? What's the rush?" The lady's friend demanded as she chewed her gum, trying to seek justice for her friend. Leia bristled and immed

After a pause, a long sigh escaped Timothy. "Well, children are lacking."Both Alexander and Francine kept quiet. They knew he was going to start talking about that again.Timothy would always talk about the same thing whenever they sat down for a meal. He would make Stefan ask Renee to remarry him, and then demand he get his children home. The harmonious atmosphere would become particularly gloomy and tense every time Timothy brought that up. They knew the thing he yearned for was a prohibited topic for Stefan.It seemed Stefan had made up his mind to never have anything to do with Renee. His face would sink every time they talked about him making peace with Renee, remarrying her, or the children. He would put the fork down and leave. However, Timothy mentioned that topic straightaway during dinner. Awkwardness soon filled Alexander and Francine, and they didn't dare to speak at all. They were afraid that the reunion dinner would become a battlefield."Yes, you're right."

"Uh, well…" Suddenly, Francine found it hard to tell Stefan the truth. After all, she knew better than anyone how much he loved Renee. However, Renee was going to marry another man. It must be a big blow for Stefan."What's wrong?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and studied Francine, who was acting weird."Nothing! Let's eat. It's the New Year. Let's eat together." Alexander found it cruel to expose the news to Stefan since it was the family reunion day, so he changed the topic of the conversation. "Fine." Stefan stopped raising questions and walked straight toward the dining table.Francine watched his back and hesitated. She was about to speak up when Alexander held her wrist. "Calm down."Alexander whispered to her, "Let's eat first. Don't ruin the New Year for him.""Yes, you're right. I should calm down." After some contemplation, she felt that Alexander was considerate. She nodded and decided to wait until after the New Year.It was a grand feast.Usually, the Hunt Manor

Francine was confident in Renee. She felt that Renee and Stefan sincerely loved each other deeply, and their romance wouldn't be over that easily. Unfortunately, they cared too much about their reputation and were stubborn. Someone needed to resolve that stalemate. "You made it sound so easy. Ren is single. If she wants to marry, she can marry anyone. We're just her ex-in-laws. We can't meddle in her affairs." Alexander shook his head. He was full of remorse since he felt that the sail had shipped. He blamed his insensible son instead of Renee. Stefan didn't cherish such a good woman—served him right to lose her!"We can't do anything about it, but our son can!" Francine said confidently. "They're always caught up with each other, and they can't stop loving each other.""What do you mean?""Stef can win Ren back as long as he does something.""But they've ended up like this. If they wanted to remarry, they would have long done so. You made it sound too easy," Alexander said,

Francine's cry attracted Alexander's attention. He was reading the newspaper while sitting on the sofa. It was the New Year, and everyone was waiting for Stefan to come home for a meal. Alexander put the newspaper down and looked at Francine with confusion. "Dear, it's the New Year. Why are you making so much noise?" "Nothing." Francine found herself unable to hold the invitation card. She wanted to throw it away, never to expose it to anyone else. However, her reaction made Alexander feel that things weren't that simple. He placed the newspaper down and walked toward her. "What have you got there? Who's getting married? They sent us an invitation card."Alexander was already retired and no longer took note of the happenings around him. He also disliked handling people and affairs. Hence, he generally would not attend his relatives' or friends' events. He would just let Stefan handle them.No one ordinary could deliver an invitation card to Hunt Manor. Francine's expression c

If they fell out with each other at that time, Adie could casually make a few viruses. He couldn't fight them head-on, but he could at least make the properties under the Baldwin family plummet."Same with me," Quinton chimed in, shooting Justin a cold and threatening glare. "If you guys are lovey-dovey, I'll sincerely give you my blessings. If you let her down, I'll ruin your family."The air grew fierce because of Adie and Quinton's warning. "Uh…" Justin was clueless about how he should respond to them. Feeling awkward, he raised the food. "Let's eat something.""This is a serious moment, and I'm still waiting for your reply. I don't want to eat anything!" Quinton kept his solemn face, his tone far from joking."Yeah, say something!" Adie urged Justin and hoped to get a reply."I…" For the first time, Justin felt stressed. Both Quinton and Adie were difficult to handle. Undeniably, Renee's family was powerful."Okay, stop it! What are you doing? How could you bully the host h

Abby blinked and felt that Adie was right, so she stopped resisting it. "Adie, you're right. I think Mr. Baldwin is a pretty good guy though he's not as handsome, mature, charming, and capable as Daddy…"Abby couldn't stop talking. She compared Justin to Stefan and mentioned endless aspects where Justin was worse than Stefan.Coincidentally, Justin came with a lot of local delicacies for Adie, Abby, and Margaret when he learned that they had come. He happened to witness that scene. "Mr. Baldwin isn't as smart as Daddy. Plus, his voice isn't as pleasant as Daddy's. Sometimes he's more childish than us though he's an adult…""Ahem, ahem!" Renee noticed Justin's arrival and immediately cleared her throat to try to stop Abby from commenting on Justin. Unfortunately, Abby didn't stop. It was unknown if she did it on purpose or if she admired Stefan too much."But…" Abby finally stopped talking about Justin's weaknesses.A sigh of relief soon escaped Renee. She knew Abby was abou

Quinton couldn't understand why Renee would be so obstinate when she was generally straightforward and casual."You don't know." Renee sighed and kept her past with the Baldwin family from him. She stood Justin up back then and ran away from the Baldwin family. When Austin learned about that, he nearly made her pay a heavy price for it.At that time, she learned about how dangerous Austin was. When he was happy, he could give all kinds of rewards and make one feel superior. But if he got unhappy and was provoked, he would make one pay a heavy price."Forget it. Let's not talk about that." Renee looked ahead and said curiously, "I wonder what kind of surprise he got me. I hope it's not too much.""I know what it is." Quinton raised his chin and smiled. It looked like he was aware of what the surprise was. "What is it?""Let's go. You'll know when you reach there." Austin asked Renee to head to the West Chamber because the surprise was there. When she reached, she opened the d

Renee wasn't expecting anything when she heard about the surprise. On the contrary, she was scared and wondered what kind of shock it would give her. She knew the Baldwin family's favor and tolerance toward her was more than she could accept. Things might get troublesome if she failed to give a fair response for such kindness… She walked out of the mansion with Quinton, who could tell that she was uneasy. "Renee, why do you look this anxious?""Do I?" Renee snapped back to reality and forced a smile. "I'm pretty happy. I'm not anxious at all." Quinton looked at Renee while shaking his head and sighing. "You might have fooled others but not me. You're unhappy."They were twins who shared a telepathic connection, and Renee looked displeased. Of course, Quinton could tell.Renee stopped pretending since they reached a rather quiet spot. She exposed her true feelings and said, "No, I'm not. I just feel ill at ease."She knew Quinton was the only one she could show her true feelin

Austin wanted to help when the Everheart family was down and out, but he could not bring himself to do so because he was trying to save face.He had thought that the Everhearts could soldier through since they were strong and had support from the Hunt family. Then, he learned about how serious the issue was when he read about the news of Renee's parents killing themselves. However, it was already too late when he wanted to help them at that time…"No, it's not too late," Quinton said coldly. "I've been investigating the families who attacked my family that year and got a shocking list. My family is still not strong at the moment and is too weak to take revenge on them. So, I want to…""No, that's not what you want." Renee could guess his request and immediately interrupted him. "We can't rush if we want to take revenge. Plus, this concerns our family. We can discuss it between us. And our family is still weak. We'll do it once we get stronger."She knew Quinton hoped to get the B
