Chapter 167: Stage 2
Johnny rubbed the back of his neck briefly, adjusting his posture as he drove.“…Alright then,” he muttered. “That makes two at Stage 2… and one at Stage 1.”Johnny leaned back slightly in his seat as he drove. “Vixen load up my data”“Yes, Johnny,” her voice replied smoothly The screen appeared. --- [STATUS WINDOW] Name: Johnny Steele Rank: Beginner V Harem Members: 3 (Stage One: 2) / (Stage Two: 2) Isabella Grace Hartfield — Stage 1 Rhea Rhoades — Stage 1 Lydia Silver — Stage 2Sophie Green — Stage 2 Charm Level: 4 Combat Level: 37 Aura Level: 17 Net Worth: $15,577.38 Billion Cash Reserves (Bank): $4,505,992,000 Assets: Bugatti La Voiture Noire Rolls-Royce Boat Tail (×2) Nebula Hotel Silver Crest Holdings Airbus A380 (Flying Palace) Private Jet Mercedes-Maybach S 580 4MATIC X3 Skills: Instant Health Restoration Stealth Mode Psychic Paper Master Key Super Sense — Hearing Empath Reading —A short dry disbelieving laugh escaped him.Not loud, just… su
Chapter 166: Ring Ring
The phone kept ringing, while Johnny just stared at the screen witj his hand hovering just above it. His thoughts moving slower than they should.His body was still caught in the moment he had just been in, the warmth of Sophie still lingering against his skin.Then ringing stopped, and silence followed. A quiet kind of silence. The kind that felt heavier than noise.Sophie let out a quiet breath beside him. It wasn’t loud, it was small, almost unnoticeable, but Johnny felt it. The way her body relaxed slightly beneath him, the way her fingers loosened just a little against his arm.Relief.Johnny didn’t say anything. He just stared at the phone in his hand, his mind still catching up.Then—A soft vibration. A new notification -- Voicemail.His thumb moved before he could overthink it. He picked up the phone and tapped the notification.Margaret’s voice came through. “Johnny… I—I’m sorry.”Everything inside him stilled again.Sophie didn’t move now. She stayed still beneath him,
Chapter 165: The kiss
For a fraction of a second, everything went still.Sophie’s lips were still on his, soft, warm, uncertain. Like she was testing something she wasn’t sure she was allowed to want.It wasn’t rushed. It wasn’t wild.It was a moment that could still be taken back.Like she had crossed a line she couldn’t take back.Johnny looked at her.There was something vulnerable in her expression, like she had already crossed a line and was waiting to see if she would regret it. Johnny pulled her, and kissed her back.Sophie responded without holding back.Her hands moved, gripping lightly, then tighter. His fingers brushed against her waist, pulling her closer as the distance between them disappeared completely.Then suddenly — system screen flashed open in the air beside them. [Side Quest Completed.] Task: Make out with the Hotel Manager. Reward: $10,000,000,000 ....Johnny’s eyes twitched.Not again…Johnny pulled back slightly.“What the hell—”But Sophie didn’t move.Her eyes were stil
Chapter 164: about yourself
They sat across from each other.The first glass came quickly.Then the second.Then another.Johnny leaned back slightly, staring at the drink in his hand. Towel barely on.Sophie watched him for a moment, her legs crossed, skirt riding high on her thighs. “Are you okay?” she asked, leaning forward so her blouse strained tighter.Johnny let out a quiet breath.“No,” he said honestly. “Not really.”He took another sip.“I just….don’t want to think about it right now.”There was a pause.The room felt quieter than before.Not empty. Just… stillThen he looked at her. “You know what?” he said. “Tell me about yourself.”Sophie blinked. “Me?”“Yeah,” Johnny said. “I just realized I don’t really know anything about you.” Sophie looked at him for a moment. Then looked down at her glass, her fingers tracing it slowly. “There’s not much to tell.”“I doubt that,” Johnny replied, smirking.Silence stretched. Thick with heat. “…Alright,” she said quietly.Sophie still did not start talking
Chapter 163: For the best
Johnny did not wait to see how the conversation ended. The moment the officers stepped fully into the room and Margaret’s attention shifted away from him, he moved. Quiet. Careful. Invisible. He couldn’t force her. If he tried to drag her out of here now, it would only make things worse. It would look exactly like what she feared. Like he was someone dangerous. Someone she should run from. Johnny’s hands clenched slightly, as he slipped past the doorway without a sound. One step. Then another. By the time the officers began speaking again, he was already gone.--- Johnny stood still for a moment just outside the building, his hands in his pockets, his shoulders slightly tense. Margaret’s voice replayed again in his head. “Who are you, Johnny?” He exhaled slowly. “Yeah…” he muttered under his breath. “Good question.” “I don’t even know,” he muttered. And that was the problem. He kept walking. Step after step. Until the answer, or something close to
Chapter 162: Maggie
Johnny’s chest tightened.“Maggie—”The room felt smaller than before.Not because anything had changed, but because of the space between them.Johnny stood a few steps away from Margaret, his hand now lowered to his side. The urgency in his chest had not reduced, but something else had taken its place.Hesitation.Margaret hugged her arms lightly around herself, as if trying to steady her own thoughts. Her breathing was not fast, but it wasn’t calm either.“Please,” Johnny said again, softer this time. “We have to go.”Margaret shook her head.“I’m sorry,” she replied, and this time there was more firmness in her voice. “I can’t just walk out with you like that, when I… I don’t understand what’s happening.”Johnny’s hand dropped slowly.“We don’t have time,” he said. “Please, just trust me.”But even as he said it, he could see it.That word—Trust.Right now, it meant nothing to her.Not after everything she had just seen.“No,” she cut in, her voice firmer now, though it still trem
