The bodyguards’ faces turned livid with rage.They would like to fight against Edward immediately, but they quickly gave up at the sight of the sparkling blue lightning around his hand.“Come on, what are you waiting for?” Yvonne said with her lips curving into a wide sneer. “You’ll all be blessed when you crawl through the exclusive passageway.”Hearing that, Sally smiled behind her delicate hands.“If you don’t want to be cooked by my friend Edward’s lightning, you’d better crawl now!” “Crawl, crawl, crawl!”The crowd standing in line also cheered her on.“Okay, we’ll do that. We can take the insult, but Mr. Cleariver will get back at you for us soon.”With that, except the one with Hugh on his back, all the other bodyguards started to crawl through the so-called VIP path one by one.“It’s your turn now!” Edward glanced at the man carrying Hugh.“How can I do that with my young master on my back?” asked the man furiously.“Easy. Put him down and drag him through the exclusive pass

“I’ll check out. How much are these in total?” Yvonne asked the counter.“200,000 for the silk slip dress!”“190,000 for the beret…”“What!!” Yvonne exclaimed, gazing at the clerk in disbelief.Miss Garcia, Sarah, and her maid broke into raucous laughter.“I’ve told you that you can’t even afford a brooch here. Come on, you’ve lost, kneel and apologize!”“Tell them how much they should pay in total!” Miss Garcia said to her clerk.“Okay, Miss Garcia.”The clerk turned to Edward, Yvonne, and Sally.“Two million dollars, please!”Palpably, there was a cold edge in the voice of the clerk.“Two million?!!” Yvonne gasped with her mouth wide open. She got so nervous that shivers went down her spine.Edward was also astonished. Over the past years, Edward has never bought anything costing more than 100 dollars.“Hey, why don’t you brag now?” Lucia sneered.“You’re still the old piece of junk, Edward. I’m so glad that I made the right decision—breaking up with you, you poor wretch!” Sarah add

"Are you okay?" Edward asked, his voice soft and concerned.Miss Garcia, nestled in Edward's strong arms, felt a warmth radiating through her.As she caught sight of his muscular physique, her heart kicked up a notch.Seeing this, Sarah's fury only mounted."Finished with your little love-in?" she scoffed.Once Edward had brought Miss Garcia back to solid ground, he mocked,"Regretting ditching me now? If you get on your knees and apologize, I might find it in my heart to forgive you. And probably I’ll hug you like that!"“Humph, If you want me to apologize, you'll have to get past my staff first." Sarah snorted derisively,"Impressive staff you've got there, but this place is too tight for a real showdown. Let's take this outside," Edward challenged, releasing Miss Garcia and leaping out of the shop with quick, agile strides.Miss Garcia followed, a strange new sensation towards Edward taking root—a peculiar longing to be conquered by him."Who do you think you are!! I'll make you ea

Seeing a big, beefy man who had a very large moustache coming over to her, Sarah flashed a surprised smile.“Help me, Master Cleariver!” said Sarah with a hint of excitement.The people in the crowd started to gossip again.“Wow, it’s Master Cleariver. He’s one of the best awakeners in New Hook. I suppose he’s coming to avenge for his apprentice Hugh Wood!”“It must be. We’ll soon have another show to watch.”“I’m glad you’ve come on time, Master Cleariver,” Sarah said. “or I’ll be bullied by that punk!”Sarah turned back and pointed at Edward.“You are the bastard who hurt my apprentice Hugh, aren’t you?”Cleariver glared at Edward while brushing his long beard with a mahogany comb.“The bastard says who?” Edward glared back.“The bastard says you!!’ Cleariver blurted without thinking a second.Edward quickly broke into a fit of raucous laughter and said,“Yeah, you’re right! You’re the bastard you’re talking about. Ha-ha!”Only then did Cleariver realize that he had fallen into Edwar
