After Ss and ire departed the mansion in the Rolls–Royce, Denton, Gilmore, and the others
returned to the vi’s living room.
Denton then inquired about Christopher’s trip to Star Gate in Oakhaven.
Christopher recounted how he had ventured to Sword Mountain, and met the third elder of Star
Gate and the leader.
He also exined how the leader had agreed to assist the Carter family, dispatching Ss and
Julian, a top internal force martialist, along with over a dozen mid–level internal force martialists to
Oakhaven. Christopher, though Ss keeps emphasizing that he will ensure our family’s safety, he
is just a mid–level internal force martialist.
“The most powerful among them is Julian, an elite force martialist. If the ck Hawks send elite
force martialists outnumbering us, our family could be in danger.”
Denton was still a little worried and said.
Christopher added, “I did suggest to the third elder of Star Gate to send more powerful helpers.
“The elder agreed, but I didn’t expect that the head of Star Gate would only send his son and elite
force martialist Julian.
“In the words of the Star Gate leader, ‘Given that Star Gate, a reputable faction in Oakhaven,
stands with the Carter family, the ck Hawks wouldn’t dare make a move.”
Denton understood that Star Gate was trying to employ a strategy of intimidation.
If the ck Hawks knew their ce and stayed away from the Carters, there would be no conflict
between Star Gate and the ck Hawks
Thus, Denton could only hope this deterrent would work and Lawrence, along with the ck
Hawks, would back off.
Meanwhile, Gilmore, seated on the sofa, remained silent throughout the discussion.

“The Star Gate is cing too much trust in itself and in Ss,” he thought.
From his God’s eye, Gilmore could tell that Ss was utterly ipetent. Instead of serving as a
deterrent to the ck Hawks, Ss and his team seemed more like liabilities.
So, relying on them to counter Lawrence and his group was a pipe dream.
Yet, Gilmore chose to keep his insights to himself.
However, he needed to do something to remedy the crisis of the Carter family.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed as Stephen entered the vi’s living room.
“Sir, our operatives near the Weston estate have made a crucial discovery.” Stephen said solemnly
to Denton.
Denton inquired, “Stephen, speak up. What have they found?”
“About an hour ago, over a dozen individuals dressed in the robes of the ck–Hawks arrived at
the Weston estate. Norman and Lawrence personally greeted them,” Stephen reported.
Denton’s face turned serious, a determined glint in his eyes. “Just as I suspected. After I injured
Lawrence, he wasn’t willing to let it go. He’s called in reinforcements from the ck Hawks to exact
his revenge. “Dad, should we contact ire immediately and inform Ss about this, urging them
to return as soon as possible? Christopher suggested with concern.
However, Denton waved him off, “No need. Even though Lawrence’s backup has arrived, if they
are nning their revenge, they wouldn’t choose broad daylight. So there’s no need to alert ire
for now: “Let Ss and the others enjoy their sightseeing and rxin bit

“Because there’s a good chance that Lawrence and his crew might strike our estate tonight.”
“Sir, I’ll immediately organize our guards, experts, and the Phantom Guards to prepare for tonight’s
confrontation.” Stephen said, fire burning in his eyes, his voice filled with unwavering resolve.
Denton nodded, “Go ahead.”
As evening approached, a zing red sun hung at the horizon where the sky met the sea, casting
shimmering, golden reflections upon the waters–a sight to behold.
On the soft sands of the beach, many couples wandered hand in hand in the glow of the setting
sun. While the young men whispered sweet nothings, their partners blushed as rosy as the evening
sky. However, one particr paircked the whispered romantic exchanges and blushing cheeks–
Ss and ire.
Ss was pulling out all the stops, trying to impress ire, hoping to charm her with his da witty
humor, and tales of his exploits.
ng looks,
He cracked jokes, shared amusing anecdotes, and conversed about everything under the sun. But
ire seemed unimpressed, a veritable ice queen. At most, she’d allow the faintest hint of a smile
to y upon her lips, only for it to vanish within a heartbeat, her expression returning to its original
frosty
state.
It wasn’t really her fault; she had been wary of Ss from the very beginning.
If it weren’t for the Carter family’s need to seek assistance from the Star Gate, ire would never
have agreed to this sightseeing escapade.
She was well aware that Ss was using this opportunity to get closer to her, but she wasn’t
having any of it.
In her eyes, Ss paled inparison to Gilmore–he couldn’t hold a candle to him.
Thus, that entire day, even on that beach, no matter how eloquent or entertaining Ss tried to be,
ire remained unfazed.
And she always had that ice–cold expression on her face.
Finally, Ss seemed to lose his patience.
Or perhaps, he simply ran out of tricks.
He stopped in his tracks, his face serious, but his eyes radiating a certain dominance. “ire,” he
said, “Do you really believe I can’tpare to your boyfriend, Gilmore?”
ire was taken aback, unsure of Ss’s intentions. “Mr. McLean,” she responded, “Gilmore is who
he is, and you are you. Why would you want topare yourself to him?”
Undeterred, Ss pressed on, his demanding gaze turning soft, “Alright, let me ask you this then. If
I can eliminate all threats to the Carter family tonight, will you agree to be my girlfriend?”
It was as if he believed the affection in his eyes could melt the icy barrier around ire’s heart.
But to ire, Ss just seemed tiresome.
No matter what he did for her, she would never develop feelings for him.
Gilmore already held that special ce in her heart.
Smiling slightly, ire replied, “Mr. McLean, let’s not joke about this. It’s getting dark; we should
head back.”
“ire, you don’t believe me?” Ss retorted, determination evident in his voice. “Give me just an
hour. It’s five in the evening now. Before six, before it gets dark, I’ll be back to show you I’m a man
of my word.”
With that, Ss turned on his heel and strode confidently toward the Rolls–Royce parked nearby,
leaving ire behind, her face reflectingplete bewilderment, trying to piece together what had
just transpired.
