Sage knocked on Seth's office door with some trepidation.The door opened automatically.Seeing that Seth was the only person in the office without the so-called senior executives, Sage's scalp numbed. She almost wanted to turn around and leave.Seth looked up at her. "What are you doing standing there? Come in."Sage took a deep breath, stepped in, and closed the door.She forced a smile. "Seth, what do you need?""Come here." Seth waved at her.Sage could only walk over."I've checked your constitution earlier. It's still somewhat fragile. I'll strengthen it for you while I have time now."Sage was a little skeptical, not believing Seth would be so kind."N-No thanks."Seth got up and walked over to her. Ignoring her refusal, he tapped on her mute trigger point, grabbed her hand, and squeezed it.Crack!The sound of bones shattering rang.Sage's pupils dilated so much that she stopped breathing.However, it was just the beginning.Next, she tasted what hell-like tortu
She stopped showing the hate in her eyes but kept it deep in her heart.Then, she discovered her change and looked a little shocked. "My bone strength... My internal energy..."She was shocked by Seth's abilities, but she was also overjoyed.The increase in strength in just one day was already terrifying.If she could keep it up every day, she would progress to foundation rank realm.Once she got there, her Poison Technique would also improve.She would then find a chance to get up close to Seth and poison him while he was unaware.There was an extra sparkle in her eyes.She decided to pretend to be increasingly inseparable from Seth.Until the day she made a breakthrough....Tanya did not stay in the company for another minute after work. She hurriedly left with her bag.There were two reasons.Firstly, she did not want to run into Seth again. Secondly, she had to work part-time once a week.She had to tutor a Year 3 senior girl.After leaving the office, Tanya took a
Bang.Tanya collapsed on the couch. She felt the world spinning and was shocked as she looked at Chance approaching her. "There's... something wrong with your tea!"Chance grinned hideously. "It's too late to notice it now. What do you think? Do you feel weak and sleepy?"Tanya bit her lip with all her might, barely keeping herself awake, and stammered."You're... breaking... the law... It's not too late to... stop..."Her breathing became labored, and everything became blurred.Mr. Chance was not in a hurry. Instead, he teased Tanya while she was still conscious."Haha, do you know I have several cameras in the room?"Whatever happens here will be recorded."If you report this to the police, I'll spread it so that the whole world can see your body."It made Tanya so anxious and angry that tears flowed down her face.Tanya looked even more tempting.Chance swallowed hard and could not hold back any longer. He pounced on her like a hungry tiger.Tanya closed her eyes, accep
Mr. Chance was in too much pain to speak, and his eyes were pleading.He had had enough punishment—he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.Seth was about to take Tanya away.Just then, the beautiful woman suddenly walked up in front of him with a resolute look. "Do you dare to sleep with me?"Seth looked shocked. "What did you say?"He thought he had heard her wrong.The beautiful woman repeated with her alluring eyes full of resentment. "I've worked so hard for this family. I never thought this bastard would do such a thing behind my back."In that case, I'll give him a taste of what it's like to be cuckold!"Seth took a closer look at her.Her age should be more than 40 years old, but she looked like 34 or 35 years old because she had maintained herself.Her looks would score eight out of ten, and her height was about 1.7 meters.Her skin was fair and firm, and she emitted a charm only mature women would have.Women this age were the most charming.Seth shr
Seth easily dodged the pillow thrown at him and grinned. "Why? Is this how you treat your savior?""What nonsense are you babbling about…?" Tanya was about to curse him out, but she stopped mid-sentence.She just remembered that she had gone for her tutoring job only to be drugged by her employer.She could not remember what happened after that."Did you save me?" Tanya was shaken. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. "Wait, did you order that guy to drug me so that you could swoop in and save me like I'm some damsel in distress?"Her imagination was surprisingly wild.Seth was left speechless. "Think about it. How long have you been a tutor here? When could I have possibly gotten to know that monster?"Tanya calmed down. She had a tutor here since before she ever set foot at Starnight.In that case, it was impossible for Seth to be involved with him.To be safe, though, Tanya ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind her.In the bathroom, she checked herself car
Tanya was overcome with envy.If not for that incident, she might have had a child of her own by next year.Thanks to Seth, though, that was impossible now.All of a sudden, her resentment for Seth came back with a vengeance.The fragrance of food reached her nostrils. The waiters began to serve the food they had ordered.Tanya grabbed up a skewer of mutton and bit into it viciously, as though it was Seth's flesh. She did not have to pay for this meal anyway.Soon, the entire table was filled with skewers, and beer bottles piled up at their feet.Seth ate slowly, enjoying the cool breeze from the river.He savored the meat and beer, enjoying the beautiful woman's company.Ahh, this was the life.The other guests nearby looked at him enviously.However, no one dared to approach them.To avoid unnecessary trouble, Seth unleashed some of his aura to intimidate the strangers as soon as he sat down.Tanya could not sense it, but the others could feel Seth's overwhelming stren
"Your total is 262 dollars. You can just pay 260."Tanya almost fainted. She asked in disbelief, "Is it really that expensive? Are you sure?"The boss gave her a kindly smile. "I'm sure. You ordered a lot."Tanya wanted to slap herself.Why did she double the order just now?That was almost a month's worth of her living expenses. It was all gone, just like that. She could barely breathe through the pain.Tanya paid the money with shaking hands.When she returned, all she could think about was how she had to save to make up for today's meal.When she returned to the table and saw Seth's face, Tanya was furious. She could not bear to look at him anymore, so she turned to leave.Seth said calmly, "Are you forgetting something?""I already paid for the meal!""You still owe me a kiss, remember?"Tanya's expression distorted.She had been so focused on the food that she had completely forgotten about that.Tanya was even more reluctant to kiss Seth than she was to pay the bill
Seth shook his head and ran after her.He secretly circulated his spiritual energy to dry himself off.Tanya was a tough nut to crack, but Seth was confident he could subdue her.After a while, Seth drove off on his own, leaving her alone on the side of the road.Tanya stomped her feet angrily. "Why do I have a rude, despicable, and stingy boss?!"She was so far from home that even taking the bus would cost her ten dollars.That was yet another unexpected expenditure.As Seth drove, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips.She looked gentle, but she was headstrong. For a woman like her, he knew he could not go along with her.He had to do the opposite and only occasionally give her some benefits to sweeten the deal. Only then would he be able to subdue her and win her love completely.…On the other hand, Sage was mixing hundreds of medicinal herbs together in her room in the villa.She was making a powerful poison from the Five Poison Sect's archives.If she succeeded
