"I didn't expect him to do that!" Elena said, her voice full of grievance.Aaron's eyes burned with anger as he pointed at her and scolded, "Shut the hell up! The Brooks family is coming after us now. What are we supposed to do?""I already met the Brooks family an

Cyrus was lounging lazily in the luxurious hall of the Golden Land, his head resting on Shadow's lap as she gave him a gentle, professional massage. The elegant crystal chandelier above cast a soft, warm light, bathing the entire space in an air of sophistication. Priceless antiques and artworks adorned the hall, each piece exuding history and refinement.Shadow's hands moved gracefully across Cyrus's shoulders and back, her touch precise and soothing. Her skillful movements eased the tension in his muscles, dispelling the fatigue in both his body and mind.It had been Shadow who answered Josephine's call earlier under Cyrus's instructions. He had his own plans—he wanted to create some distance between himself and Josephine, hoping that when danger inevitably arrived, she would remain uninvolved."Boss, Winston is hosting a birthday banquet tonight, but I suspect his intentions are far from pure. Should we take any action?" Shadow asked softly, her hands never p

Early the next morning, Josephine cast a resentful glance at Cyrus. Without even bothering to have breakfast, she drove off to work. However, halfway there, she collided with another car.The driver of the other car turned out to be a hooligan. When he saw Josephine, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. He got out of his car, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and swaggered over to Josephine's car window, knocking on it.Josephine rolled down the window and frowned. "You hit my car."The hooligan chuckled slyly. "You can't blame me for this, sweetheart. You're the one who ran into me."Josephine, furious, shot back, "You swerved lanes out of nowhere!"The man leaned in closer to Josephine, the acrid smell of smoke wafting into her face. "Don't get so worked up, gorgeous. How about we settle this privately?"Josephine eyed him warily. "How do you propose we settle this?"The thug gave her a lewd smile. "Have dinner with me, and we'll call it even

"Have you forgotten me? It's Winston, Josephine." The voice on the other end carried a faint hint of disappointment.Only then did Josephine think of someone. "Oh, it's you, Winston.""Josephine, it's been a long time. I've been so worried about you. Hearing that you're recovering makes me really happy," Winston said, his tone filled with genuine concern.Josephine responded politely, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now.""That's great to hear. Josephine, how about having dinner tonight? It's been ages since we caught up," Winston invited warmly.Josephine hesitated for a moment. "I'm sorry, Winston. I've been really busy with work lately, so I might not have time.""No problem. Then let's plan for another time when you're free," Winston replied gently. "Josephine, take care of yourself and don't overwork.""Okay, I will. Thank you, Winston," Josephine said before hanging up.After the call ended, Winston's image involuntarily surfaced i

At that moment, Cyrus seemed to snap out of it, slowly releasing Josephine from his grasp.Josephine's delicate face immediately flushed a deep red. She lowered her head, unable to meet Cyrus's gaze. She was gasping for breath, as if she had just finished a long run. Her chest heaved unevenly, the erratic rhythm betraying the turmoil in her heart."I'm sorry. I acted impulsively," Cyrus said, his voice muffled behind his mask but heavy with guilt. He knew all too well that if he had forced Josephine into anything, the consequences would have been both unpredictable and severe. It wouldn't just hurt Josephine but also leave him in a situation beyond repair.Josephine bit her lip, her mind a chaotic tangle of thoughts she couldn't unravel. She didn't know how to face this man, someone she had always seen as a hero, familiar yet suddenly so unfamiliar. What he had just done had caught her completely off guard. Nor did she know how to handle the storm of emotions roiling

"Alright, since you all want to die, I'll grant your wish." Cyrus tightened his grip, and with two sharp "crack" sounds, he instantly snapped the necks of the Darklight Duo. Their bodies slumped lifelessly. Their eyes were wide open, unable to close even in death.At that moment, the phone belonging to the Darklight Duo rang. Cyrus picked it up and answered, but the person on the other end remained silent.After a brief pause, a strange voice came through the line, "It seems the Darklight Duo is dead. Cyrus, I underestimated you. I hope you can handle the next challenge just as easily."As soon as the voice finished speaking, the phone in Cyrus's hand exploded, the powerful shock causing his palm to tingle. The explosion was so powerful that it left no trace behind, as if the phone had never existed.Cyrus's expression grew darker. He knew that the threat from this mysterious person was serious, and more dangerous challenges awaited him. But Cyrus would not be af

After a while, Anna walked out of the bathroom in a loose nightgown, her hair damp and draping over her shoulders, giving off an enchanting fragrance."Cyrus, why don't you sleep in the guest room tonight?" Anna asked, her voice soft and shy.Cyrus nodded, got up, and headed to the guest room. The room was simply and comfortably furnished. Cyrus lay on the bed, his thoughts a bit chaotic.Meanwhile, Anna returned to her own room, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. She thought about Cyrus in the next room, filled with anticipation and nervousness.After what felt like an eternity, Anna finally mustered the courage to gently open her door and walk toward the guest room. She stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then softly knocked on the door."Cyrus, are you asleep?" Anna's voice was barely above a whisper.Cyrus opened the door and saw Anna standing there, a hint of confusion in his eyes."I... I'm a little scared. I can't sleep
