Chapter 80 - Wanted Him To Fail
Luke’s evaluation began. Just like in the earlier scenarios, the client would act as an ordinary shopper while he accompanied her. However, unlike Natalia, who seemed to possess a sixth sense, Luke did not focus solely on the client. His attention was divided between her and their surroundings.From time to time, he calmly observed the people nearby while sharpening his hearing for anything unusual. He listened closely to fragments of conversations, trying to determine their intentions and understand why they were doing whatever currently occupied them.Three years ago, he had spent a year in the military, and he had been thrown into war almost immediately after arriving. He adapted to the battlefield faster than most, and the memories of those brutal experiences remained vivid in his mind.Because of that, he could still instinctively sense danger. He could easily tell who posed a threat and who did not.While he was observing the people around them, the client occasionally asked him
Chapter 79 - No Exception
What in the world had just happened?At that moment, almost everyone froze where they stood. No one could quite believe what they had just witnessed from Natalia.What she did went far beyond their expectations. Some even felt goosebumps rise on their skin because of how precise and ruthless her performance had been. It was as if she had a pair of eyes at the back of her head.Even Vincent, who usually carried a calm and indifferent demeanor, could not stop his mouth from falling open in shock. He had also expected Natalia to fail the first phase, yet she passed it with ease.Luke, on the other hand, was no longer surprised. Still, he could not help but feel a bit impressed by the way Natalia protected her client. She genuinely cared, not only about the client’s safety, but also about her emotional state.Then a comparison suddenly formed in his mind, especially after noticing that the client had not even realized what had just happened behind her.‘What if she’s been protecting Kina
Chapter 78 - Natalia’s Performance
Natalia let out a quiet laugh before straightening up, making her dagger vanish once more with a simple flick of her hand.“Forget it,” she said, her expression turning serious. “Like I said, I came here for Kina. To become her bodyguard. That’s the only answer I can give you. If you’re wondering about anything else, you’d better set it aside for now. You’re not ready to know those answers yet.”Her voice was firm as she turned away and continued walking. “Just focus on getting close to her. You’ll find some of the answers you’re looking for on your own, eventually.”With that, she disappeared again in the blink of an eye, not caring at all that she had done it right in front of Luke.Luke, on the other hand, remained stunned after witnessing it once more. However, it was no longer as shocking as the first time he had seen her do it that night at his uncle’s restaurant.His gaze drifted back to where she had been standing earlier. And there she was again, calmly listening to Vincent a
Chapter 77 - A Life For An Answer
He quickly shook his head. He did not even know whether to laugh at the thoughts running through his mind.What was going on with him? Was this the effect of everything that had been happening lately, that his imagination had started running wild like this?“Everyone, come with me.”His gaze snapped forward again. Vincent instructed them to follow him for the first phase of the assessment.“Hey, kid!”Before Luke could even take a step, he subconsciously glanced back and halted when he heard a man’s voice behind him. He saw Steven, his brows tightly knit together.Luke did not bother to speak. He simply looked at him with slightly raised brows, as if waiting for Steven to say whatever he wanted.Steven stepped closer, staring at Luke with a strangely curious gaze.“Have we met before?” he asked after a moment, his eyes narrowing.After experiencing Luke’s unusual strength earlier, Steven had grown quiet, as though deep in thought, occasionally glancing at Luke while Vincent was still
Chapter 76 - Destiny?
When they entered the hall, Joey left Luke with the other applicants and headed toward his family to take his place among the judges.Luke stayed at the back of the crowd, his eyes instinctively searching for Natalia. He spotted her at the front row, but decided to leave her alone.“She seems like a reasonable woman...” he muttered.He trusted that she would not harm anyone unless she had a reason to, just like what happened to those men before. There was no need for him to keep watching her every move. Besides, even if he did, there was nothing he could do to stop her.What truly bothered him now was why she had come all the way here, pretending to be one of the applicants.‘What is she planning?’ he wondered, his brows knitting together.He had already dismissed the idea that she intended to harm Kina. If she wanted to, she could have done it anytime.If she was telling the truth, then she was genuinely here to become Kina’s personal bodyguard. But the real question was why.Luke sh
Chapter 75 - Not For Him
Steven gritted his teeth as he looked at Natalia, his gaze now filled with naked hostility. Her beauty no longer mattered to him. In his mind, she needed to be taught a lesson on how to behave properly.How dare she spout nonsense in front of everyone and make a mockery of him? How dare she expose something he had buried so deeply long ago?Natalia was the first to pull her hand away. Then, as if nothing had happened, she casually reached into her jacket pocket and took out a small bottle of hand sanitizer. She sprayed it onto her palm and rubbed her hands together, as though they had been dirtied because of her handshake with Steven.The gesture was blatantly provocative. She stared straight at him while doing it, as if deliberately rubbing in how filthy she thought he was.Steven’s face flushed red with fury. He could not tolerate the humiliation any longer. If anger could be seen with the naked eye, then the people around them would have seen s
