Meanwhile, inside the taxi, Charlie remained silent. The strange encounter had left him in an unusually foul mood. He sat in the back seat with his arms folded, his expression gloomy as the city gradually approached.The driver was still trembling. However, after several minutes, he slowly recovered. His breathing became steadier and his hands stopped shaking.Then, a siren suddenly rang out.Woo—woo—woo!Charlie immediately raised his head. Several police vehicles appeared ahead, then more emerged from behind, and the taxi was surrounded from both sides.The driver's expression changed. "Why are there so many police officers?" He nervously glanced at Charlie through the rearview mirror. "Sir... you aren't carrying any contraband, are you?"Charlie looked at him, his expression somewhat strange. "How could that be?" He gave an awkward laugh. "I'm a model student and a model citizen. How could I possibly do anything illegal?" He spoke with absolute confidence, but before he could fini

The police officers immediately moved forward, but at that moment—Tap, tap, tap,A pair of boots stepped onto the road, and a woman slowly emerged from one of the police vehicles.She was tall and capable-looking, with an aura that immediately distinguished her from the surrounding officers. Her expression was cold, and her posture was straight.There was a sharpness in her eyes that made the surrounding officers instinctively straighten their backs.Oliver watched through the video feed, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he realized who the person before him was.She was Tina Bloom, captain of the Ironspire Criminal Investigation Brigade at Peak External Force Realm."Oh?" A smile slowly appeared on his lips as he realized another female lead had appeared much sooner than he'd expected.From her appearance and temperament alone, Oliver could immediately classify her as the stereotypical fiery policewoman heroine, and according to the system, Tina was simply too upright, openly disob

Not long afterward, Oliver arrived to pick her up.As usual, Charlotte accompanied him.The moment Lilly saw the two of them together, she couldn't help feeling a strange sensation in her chest.Oliver looked composed and handsome, while Charlotte stood beside him in her professional attire.They looked natural together.The thought came into Lilly's mind before she could stop it, and she immediately shook her head.'What am I thinking?'“Lilly.”Oliver's voice brought her back to reality, and he looked at her from head to toe.“Let's go.”Lilly nodded quickly.“Okay.”The three of them soon arrived at an upscale clothing store.Lilly was visibly uncomfortable the moment she stepped inside.Everything around her looked expensive.Extremely expensive.She subconsciously lowered her gaze, which Charlotte noticed.As a woman, she immediately understood Lilly's concern.“Miss Lilly,” Charlotte said gently, “don't worry about the price. Just choose what you like.”Lilly hurriedly shook her

Jessica was furious.Anyone would be.She had already been stopped at the entrance of the Republican Hotel, denied entry despite explaining that she had business inside, and was now suddenly being grabbed by the shoulder by a complete stranger.“What are you doing?”Her voice carried a trace of anger as she turned around, ready to give the person behind her a piece of her mind.Yet the moment she looked up, the words caught in her throat.What entered her field of vision was an exceptionally handsome face.The man standing before her was tall, his posture relaxed yet naturally imposing. His silver suit fit him perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and long legs without appearing ostentatious. There was an indescribable nobility about him, the kind that didn't need to be deliberately displayed.He simply possessed it.For a brief moment, Jessica forgot what she had been about to say.The anger in her eyes faded slightly, replaced by surprise.'He's... handsome.'No.Handsome wasn

Jessica's fists tightened.She truly wanted to slap him and wanted to wipe that disgusting smile off his face.However, she couldn't.Not because she agreed, but because she understood the consequences.Brandon wasn't an ordinary businessman. His company possessed tremendous influence.If she publicly offended him, the Greenberg family might lose even more opportunities.Jessica stood there silently, feeling powerless, humiliated, and completely alone.Just as Brandon believed he had successfully cornered her, a calm voice suddenly echoed beside them.“You actually want my woman to sleep with you?”The surrounding conversations instantly stopped.Everyone subconsciously turned around.The voice wasn't loud, yet it carried an indescribable authority.Brandon's expression changed, and Jessica also widened her eyes.A tall young man wearing a perfectly tailored silver suit slowly walked through the crowd.His expression remained calm, and his hands rested casually inside his pockets.Yet
