Chapter 40

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee and Liam walked side by side in the hallway that led up to the banquet hall.

Liam, who had been a dignified and proud gentleman outside only moments ago, had now transformed completely into a docile little puppy—all smiles and adoring glances at Renee.

"I can't believe those people from the Hunts dared to bully you like that!" He grumbled. "The next time they do it, I definitely won't let them off so easily!"

Renee smiled slightly and teased him, "Wow, Liam… I'm used to seeing you all

    "What do you think?" The fortune teller asked.He looked at the visibly stirred Leia. His smile carried a deeper meaning. "You and him were a perfect match to begin with. Being together came as naturally as water flowing downstream. There were no real external obstacles, but your inner demons were too strong. That's why you kept pushing him away again and again. It's such a pity.""Does that mean it's really over between us?"Leia swallowed and tried to keep the composure she had been faking all this time. Her voice came out cautious yet urgent."Whether it ends or not isn't up to him. It's up to you. If you want it to end, then it will end. If you don't, you can turn back at any time. He will always be standing where he is and waiting for you," the fortune teller said while stroking his long beard as he gently swayed his head. He was smiling."It's up to me?"Leia pointed at herself. Although she was surprised, the anxiety in her eyes had faded. It was replaced by a barely con

    As Renee and Leia walked forward, a voice suddenly called out from behind them."Ladies, since fate has brought us together, how about a fortune reading?"They turned around. To their surprise, there was an elderly man with a graying beard. He was holding a cloth painted with an odd symbol. He had on patched-up clothes, his hair was messy, and he looked like a down-and-out fortune teller."Sir, do we know you?" Renee asked. She studied his face and found it oddly familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.Water Dock was full of all kinds of people. Fortune tellers like him weren't uncommon. Maybe she had run into him before while wandering around, but they'd never really crossed paths."Of course," the fortune teller said before stroking his beard with a mysterious smile. "Not only do we know each other, but I even guided you in life once. And now that I see you again, it seems both of you are entangled in relationships that weigh heavily on your hearts.""Guided me?" Renee thou

    Before long, Renee and Leia arrived at Water Dock.This place was once a lawless gray zone filled with instability. It had become relatively peaceful and orderly after the true owner of Carmine Pawnshop returned."Wow, this place looks completely different from what I remember! All the vendors are well-behaved, and the people coming and going look pretty decent too. It honestly feels like one of those touristy historic towns!" Leia exclaimed the moment she stepped into Water Dock.At first glance, the streets were filled with dazzling rows of goods. The crowds moved in neat order, and quite a few people were even taking photos and checking in for social media. The only thing missing was a big sign by the dock that read 'Greetings from Water Dock! Wish you were here!'And yet, who would know that this place used to be a completely different world?Back then, killings and robberies happened frequently. The people who came and went were all dangerous figures. Ordinary folks wouldn't

    "Why not?" Renee asked.She looked at Jovan and thought that he was a little too stubborn.He had already agreed with what she said, yet he still insisted on talking tough."I don't think love needs to be a game. Take right now for example. I'm the one who likes you. You think that means you've got the upper hand over me. But the truth is, having feelings for you is my main motivation. Even if I have to swallow my pride and act like a simp, and even if you never give me any response, I'd still feel happy just being close to you."He continued talking seriously. "Love itself is only about the person who feels it. Your joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all decided by you. So there's really no such thing as winning or losing."Renee froze.Jovan's perspective was interesting. For a moment, she couldn't even argue with it.In the end, she could only smile helplessly. "No wonder you always bounce back no matter how many times you get knocked down. Turns out my attitude doesn'

    Stefan didn't argue after hearing that. He simply smiled bitterly."You're right. I'm a coward. I'm used to calculating risks and consequences down to the smallest detail. The dynamic Renee and I have right now is the optimal solution after all my calculations. I just don't dare take another risk."More than anyone else, he knew he had never truly let go of Renee. That was why his pain felt a hundred times clearer than anyone else's.When his emotions surged, he sometimes had the reckless thought that nothing else mattered as long as he could be with her. But that thought usually only lasted for a moment. The instant he lowered his head, logic would take over.Even he didn't know whether that kind of restraint meant he didn't love her or that he loved her too much."Fine. Keep messing things up then. One day when she really runs off with someone else, I won't feel the slightest bit sorry for you. I'll be beating drums and setting off fireworks to celebrate that she finally found s

    Stefan sat by the campfire. He nudged a small cluster of flames with a stick. His gaze grew distant as he fell into thought. "Letting her misunderstand me isn't such a bad thing. I'm not exactly a good man anyway. It's much easier for her to hate me than to love me."Although the two of them could now set the past aside and get along peacefully, he knew very well that some feelings were like the sparks flickering in front of him. Give them the slightest chance, and they would flare back into a raging fire.When they burned, the ending would only be destruction.He had worked hard to play the role of the villain perfectly. If he stopped now, all of that effort would be wasted."I don't get you. I seriously don't get you. Sometimes you make me so mad."Xavier plopped down beside Stefan. He grabbed a burning stick from the fire and waved it around irritably."You obviously love her. So why do you keep hurting her? Are you mentally unstable or something?""I never wanted to hurt h

    Charlotte never expected that Renee, who had always been a pushover, had the guts to fight back."You shameless witch!" She cursed furiously. "Why don't you take a look in the mirror and realize how wicked and depraved you are? You're just a gold digger whose family was financially ruined! Nothing ab

    "Didn't you say you'll share the burden with me earlier? Are you scared already?” Stefan sneered. "If you want to leave, just leave. I might as well die than live like this."Renee typically would not give in to harsh threats but was a sucker for attacks on her conscience. If she really left him now,

    Renee instantly stopped humming, and her smile died on her lips. She instinctively turned around to leave, as if she'd encountered something unfortunate.'Damn it.' She could only blame herself for procrastinating. Although she'd already decided to move, she hadn't found a suitable place to move into

    “I’ve got it right here. How would I dare slack off when you’re my boss?” Liam stopped his cheeky act and handed the woman a thick stack of documents.Renee couldn’t care less about her sick state and skim through the pages quickly.After a few moments, a pleased grin formed on her lips. “Good.
