Flashing a manful grin, Sawyer peered into her eyes and his fingers spiritedly wrapped around her tapered waist, as if he was asserting in front of her family members that Sasha was his woman.
“Y-You!” Sasha nearly froze in shock.
She couldn’t believe that it was Sawyer standing next to her.
She had definitely pushed him out through the window and even closed it.
So, how did he climb back up to the first floor?
Sasha couldn’t get her head around what just happened.
On top of it, her family members who were already pissed off at her, now had gazes glowing like burning stoves.
“T-They will eat you alive,” Sasha uttered in a low voice. “Why did you come back? Do you not value your life? Do you think your recklessness will bring you out of your poorness?”
“I have three major goals, miss,” Sawyer responded in a similar wavelength. “The first is to find a cure for my sister’s complicated condition. The second is to marry a woman who can help mankind. The third is… to bring peace to this world before my kids are born.”
The first sentence made sense to Sasha as it was expected to come out of a poor man’s mouth, but the next two sentences sounded more like a fantasy than a dream.
Either way, she was in a spot now. She could care less about a nobody’s dreams.
“Don’t tell them you’re poor,” Sasha whispered as she came a step down the stairs. “Tell them you’re a vice president of a bank. You earn about 150K per year. It’s not much, but it’s better than revealing your real revenue.”
“I don’t want to lie, though.”
“If you don’t lie, you will die.”
“But one lie begets another.”
“Just shut up. You won’t be seeing me or my family after this breakfast, so just lie your way through if you want to live!” she scolded him in a low voice.
If only her family members weren’t watching, Sasha would have surely taught this prick his place for touching her without her permission!
“He’s taking advantage of me, Sasha Deville, whom many powerful men sought favor from,” Sasha also couldn’t wait to teach this philanderer a lesson.
Sasha could see her father, David Deville, giving her an unblinking stare, not even bothering to eat the food on the plate.
It was even more the case for Sasha’s mother, Maria, and the same could be said for the other ten family members sitting at the table.
Their rigid, odious expressions gave away their inner feelings.
“With what face did you come to eat?” Maria questioned her daughter in a sharp tone. “How could you bring a stranger into your room? You think this house is a brothel?”
“M-Mom…” Sasha frowned and couldn’t respond. She looked like a squirrel with an acorn stuck in her throat.
Sawyer, however, pulled a chair back and gestured Sasha to sit, surprising everyone.
What was with this guy?
How could he be calm when the air was so tense and nerve-wracking for her?
After Sasha hesitantly sat down, he sat right next to her.
“Shameless. Utterly shameless,” Maria openly cussed, her long sparkling earrings waving to and fro. “If you stick with trash, you’ll become trash, too, Sasha.”
“He looks like he’s in late twenties or early thirties, maybe?” Sasha’s sister, Noelle, said. She had stylish bangs for haircut. “I didn’t know that you liked older men, Sis.”
Sasha wanted to tell her younger sibling to shut up, but she couldn’t do so in this nervy atmosphere.
“How old are you, dear?” Sawyer looked at Sasha.
(Dear? This guy…!) Sasha didn’t want to answer, but she forced out a smile and said, “23.”
“Oh, I’m 32,” he replied.
“Nine years of difference?” Noelle scoffed. “That’s a little too much, I think. And he’s wearing a T-shirt. Who wears T-shirts on dates? He must be piss-poor, though he seems to be a fan of the Empyrean just like me.”
“No one asked for your opinion,” David coldly glanced at Noelle, making her shut up. His gaze then shifted to Sawyer. “You… instead of apologizing to us first, you sat down at our table and started eating and talking brazenly. You have no manners or decency. Someone like you can never become my son-in-law. If I ever see you with Sasha again, I will erase you from this world.”
Sasha expected her father to threaten like this. She thought this would make Sawyer sweat.
Sawyer remembered the words Sasha spoke last night while in her drunken stupor.
She told him how her family members were all selfish, and that her parents only started treating her well after she began earning a good salary, and how her family members used her salary for their daily needs, making it quite hard to save money.
Now, they were also trying to get her married to a rich guy so they could use her to pave their own future.
“I want to marry your daughter,” Sawyer said, holding Sasha’s hand in front of everyone as he thought this would be the best route instead of arguing with them.
Maria and some others ended up coughing out the food that was in their mouths.
Even David coughed hard and had to sip some water.
“You want to marry my daughter and enter the great Deville family?” Maria growled. “How preposterous!”
“Being nice-looking isn’t enough. Even male prostitutes look handsome. If you want money, tell me how much you want,” David uttered, his voice somewhat quivering in rage. “I’ll sign the check right away and throw it in your face.”
“Dad,” Darius, the elder brother of Sasha, voiced his mind in worry, “what if he asks for an absurd amount?”
“Pfft, brother,” Noelle laughed, “I doubt this guy even knows the difference between a million and a billion.”
“Oh, I think I do know the difference,” Sawyer innocently replied. “Your face looks like a million dollars, but Sasha’s face looks like a billion dollars. Am I right?”
Noelle’s face turned ashen. “Y-You…” she quickly looked at her mother. “Mom, call Big Dog and get this clown kicked out!”
Sasha was startled because she had seen Big Dog choke a tiger to death with an elbow lock just because it growled at Maria once from behind the fence.
At this rate, Sawyer might really get killed.

CHAPTER 72
At Brilliant Guild headquarters.“The unending greed of the zombies was conquered by a single stroke of the sword…” Fredrick’s son, Mike, was talking to the guild members while they were repairing the damaged infrastructure.“You’re surely exaggerating things, Young Master Mike.”“I heard there were thousands of zombies. How can a single swing of a sword destroy all of them?”“Even if our entire guild fights those monsters, we will suffer heavy losses against such numbers!”“Heh,” Mike snorted. “If you don’t believe me, that’s your own problem. I’m just telling you guys what my dad told me.”“So, who’s the guy who saved the city?”“It’s the Empyrean,” Mike said.“What? But you said that the zombies were killed by a sword user. The Empyrean isn’t known to use a sword!”“Huh! Did the Empyrean ever tell you that he can’t use a sword?” Mike blurted. “Most of the supersoldiers don't even know what kind of powers he has. So, how can you assume that he can’t use a sword?”At the Mayor's offi
CHAPTER 71
All officers and guards except the low-ranked ones received the order through a voice command to hurry over to the western border of the city.The nearest group of officers rushed over to the border, but they did not have the authority to open the door in the barrier and step outside.Though they could see the hundreds of criminals lying unconscious on the ground on the other side of the barrier, the officers were not able to get to the other side.They had to wait until a superior showed up.By then, over fifty officers gathered and proceeded to cuff up all the criminals.The cuffs were made with a special metal that sealed their strength.Soon, the mayor arrived there with his own group of guards.The mayor was not expecting to see so many criminals.“What are we supposed with all these bastards, sir?” a senior officer asked the mayor.“Let’s keep them in prison,” the mayor replied. “We’ll hand them over to the Super Task Force. They’ll take these criminals to Lode Prison.”Just the

“Kekeke, kahahaha,” Bloody Rooster’s maniacal laugh sent chills down Sasha’s spine. “If you don’t want anyone to die, then get your ass down here, you bitch! Jump from the balcony! Now!”Sasha was afraid to jump from so high.“Didn’t you hear me?” Bloody Rooster got annoyed and started shooting.The bullets that were flying at Sasha stopped in midair.“Ah?” Bloody Rooster was startled and confused. “What the fuck? Do you have some kind of powers?”Sasha, however, looked even more shocked and confused.Just then, all the bullets rose into the air as if they were getting pulled up.At the same time, an air bubble appeared around Bloody Rooster, trapping him inside.“The fuck is this?” He put the machine gun to use, but the bullets were repelled by the bubble, and all those bullets ended up hitting him.Blood Rooster never expected that he’d die from the bullets of his own gun.Even though he died, the bubble that captured him still rose into the sky.Sasha was in shock and disbelief as
CHAPTER 69
Sawyer turned around and looked at his chest.There was a minor cut, but it was healing slowly but surely. A normal attack would have already healed, but because of Richie’s black energy, it was taking time.Sawyer made a phone call to Helia and told her about Richie, which quite surprised her.She assured him that she’d deliver Richie’s corpse to SSL headquarters and also appreciated Sawyer for his effort.“It’s not over yet,” Sawyer told her. “I think Richie was planning something big in this city. With him gone now, all the criminals under him will run rampant. I’ll have to deal with them before they take people’s lives.”“I will call some personnel in Summit city and warn them in your name,” Helia replied.“That will help,” Sawyer replied and then ended the phone call. “Let me clean up this city as much as I can.”He flew and shot through the barrier and stopped high in the air.His eyes scanned all around the city, for he was able to view the whole city from high in the sky.Ther
CHAPTER 68
Sawyer entered the building.There were eight maids standing in the hall, four on either side. All of them had bloodshot eyes, and they seemed ready to attack him, even though they weren’t even looking at him.Sawyer looked up.Richie was sitting on the chandelier. He used the rope-like cloth to come down and land in front of Sawyer.Sawyer didn’t move an inch.“You’re better than I thought,” Richie smiled. “You’ll make a fine addition to my army.”“I did the right thing by coming to this city before going to the Forest of Nightmares,” Sawyer replied, his hands in his pockets. “It’d make things easier for me if I send your body to SSL.”“SSL?” Richie’s expression changed. “You’re part of that fucking organization? Then I’m going to have to kill you in the most painful way before reviving you into a zombie.”He suddenly leaped back and waved his arms, releasing branches of clothes to fly and wrap all around Sawyer.But then, all of that cloth was ripped to shreds.Sawyer didn’t even mo
CHAPTER 67
“You two have no other choice but to enter the mansion… if you want to live a little longer, that is,” the butler was staring at them with an assured smile. He appeared quite villainous.Noelle’s heart raced like never before. She was already regretting coming here. “We’re fucked. I don’t want to become a zombie.”“Then why did you come here?” Sawyer asked her.“Because I was worried about you,” she quickly said.Sawyer didn’t believe her.“And my sister also wanted me to stop you from this suicide mission,” Noelle added.Sawyer glanced at her. “Really? Your sister?”“Yeah,” Noelle scratched her cheek. “Actually, my sister was listening to our whole conversation at the hotel. I know it was unprofessional, but I didn’t know your identity, so I had to be careful.”Sawyer’s expression slightly changed. “I see. Is your sister still listening?”“No. Of course not.”“Hey…” the butler’s expression turned serious. “Are you guys ignoring me?”“Tell your sister to not break my heart like she di
