Kassy lit another cigarette. Her expression was gloomy. Three separate forces were searching for Matthew. The first was the League of Shadows, the second was Ray's men, and the third was Percy Mallory, the leader of A City's criminal underworld. It was a race against time, and Kassy had to be faster than Ray and Percy. Otherwise, once he managed to escape from her clutches, it would be next to impossible to capture that crafty man again. "Ms. Kassy…" While Kassy was deep in thought, another subordinate rushed into the room excitedly. "We found Matthew's whereabouts." Kassy instantly stubbed out her cigarette and stood up. "Where is he?" "He is seen near a shopping mall in Arbat Street…" Before he could finish the sentence, Kassy was nowhere to be seen. … Late in the evening, in Moscow's famous pedestrian street. Luke walked among the crowd. He wore a pair of oversized sunglasses, and only his sculpted chin was seen. He glanced coldly at the black cars that surro
Luke casually walked out of the mall. The "woman" stood out in the crowd. "Her" appearance was unique, and "her" mannerisms were elegant and graceful. Kassy glanced at Luke suspiciously, thinking that the woman seemed to be abnormally tall. However, it was not unusual for a woman in Russia to be over six feet in height. Kassy pointed at Luke domineeringly and ordered him, "You! Take off your sunglasses!" Luke smiled and did what he was told. His fair face was brought into view. Kassy frowned. That beautiful "woman" had a pair of bewitching eyes, and they looked somewhat familiar. Soon, she banished that thought. A man as prideful as Matthew would not stoop to disguising himself as a woman. Moreover, Matthew's skin was a healthy bronze color, while that woman was fair. They were not similar at all. She waved impatiently at Luke. "Go away. Stop wasting our time." The men in black let Luke off. Kassy continued to search for Luke in the crowd. None of those people m
Luke let his guard down a little when he saw that it was Percy. "Why are you here?" "I happened to be passing through and saw a woman in need," Percy said jokingly. When he noticed the wound on Luke's arm, he sounded concerned. "Are you alright? Is it serious?" Luke chuckled coldly. "I won't die. Yet." He knew that Percy was concerned about him even though he was joking. That was the way Luke's good friends cared for him. Perhaps friendship among men was like that. "Tsk tsk, I should've known that you're born lucky. That huge explosion didn't even kill you, so what could a few underlings do to you? How did you become so fair though? Did you undergo plastic surgery? I'd like to know your secret…" Percy spoke animatedly as he reached out to touch Luke's chin. Luke narrowly dodged Percy's hand and shot a piercing glare at him. "Do you want to know my secret to fair skin?" Percy nodded in puzzlement. It was not surprising that he was curious. Luke's female disguise was brea
Tommy saw his mother covering her face and thought that she was crying. That made him behave even more angrily toward Luke. His tiny body stood tall and straight, and his round eyes glared unyieldingly at his father. Then, he bared his sharp, white teeth and bit down on his father's exposed arm. The pain caused Luke to gasp. Luke did not expect that the little boy's teeth would be so sharp. He wondered if Tommy was reincarnated from a wolf. Even though he was in pain, Luke was comforted by the fact that Tommy was so protective of his mother. However, he wished that Tommy would protect Bianca from the other people, not Luke. Luke lifted Tommy by the collar and narrowed his gaze as he looked at the little boy. "Hey, kid, I'm playing with your Mommy. What makes you think that I'm bullying her, hmm?" Tommy pointed at Luke and said angrily, "You were pinning Mommy down and she couldn't breathe! I saw that Mommy was crying secretly and moaning in pain. You're so big and stron
Bianca was still sleeping after the sun rose. She lost count of the number of times Luke had entered her last night. She was thoroughly exhausted. He hugged her soft and fragrant body. Under the first rays of sunlight, she was like a blooming flower. It just felt so good to hug her. He did not want to get up. Bianca seemed to be troubled by her dreams. She frowned slightly, and her body curled up like a lazy cat. Occasionally, she let out a slight moan. Luke made sure that she was in a comfortable position. He brushed the strands of hair on her forehead, then gently kissed her clean forehead. His indulgent gaze fell on her peaceful sleeping face. Her brows were thin and elegantly curved like paper fans. The three children inherited her long and curly eyelashes. Luke could not help but gently touch her eyelashes and lightly pull her eyelids. He loved to see her dark pupils that were pure and clean like spring water. Somehow, he clearly remembered the first time they me
After lunch, Bianca brought a tray laden with Tommy's favorite food and dessert to the room next door. Seeing Bianca at the door, Selena shrugged helplessly. She could not deal with the little boy's temper, so she left the room and let Bianca deal with her son. Tommy sat barefoot on the soft Persian carpet, assembling a monster robot toy. The toy parts were scattered all over the carpet. Tommy had disassembled the monster robot toy that Ray had given him as a present. After disassembling it, he began to put it together piece by piece. He was fully focused on his little project. Bianca placed the tray on the table and quietly crouched down in front of him. "Mommy brought you your favorite food, Tommy. Come and eat." Tommy seemed not to hear his mother. He continued to assemble the robot toy. Bianca was dazzled by the array of small parts. She was not sure which piece went where, but Tommy was deftly putting everything together like a master craftsman. Bianca held Tommy
Ray sat on the other end of the couch. Bianca was surprised that Percy was there too. Ray was dressed in a black dress shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans. He did not look as intimidating as usual, but instead, he looked like a gentleman. Percy was dressed in a white shirt, which made his already fair skin seem even fairer. He smiled gently when he saw Bianca. "Long time no see, Sis." Bianca returned the greeting. "You're here in Moscow too, Mr. Mallory." The woman's smile was warm and charming, which made the two men dumbfounded for a moment. Bianca was not the most beautiful woman in Moscow, but she could be considered good-looking. She was not as unrestrained as Eastern European women, but she had a different, enigmatic charm. Bianca had a face that both men and women loved. She seemed docile and adorable. Her eyes were big and round, and her pupils were like black moons that sparkled brightly when she looked at people. Her smile was sweet and refreshing, and it co
Bianca turned around and stared at Luke's handsome face. She wanted to cry when she saw how concerned he was for her. She had thought of many possibilities, but she had not imagined that Luke would be living under such treacherous circumstances for the past two years. Her heart wrenched when she imagined him undergoing the inhuman tortures like in the video. A pair of immaculately sculpted hands gently wiped away her tears. "I'm fine, silly girl." Bianca reached out to tear away Luke's clothes as though she had gone mad. "No! I want to see if there are any scars on your body. I want to know what they have done to you in the past two years…" Bianca was too caught up in the passion while they were in bed last night. She regretted not showing enough concern for the condition of his body! Luke encircled Bianca's waist tightly, grabbed her hands, planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, and comforted her with a smile. "I'm really fine, Bea. I wouldn't be standing in front of you i
