Denton, Christopher, and even ire herself were taken aback.
None of them expected Ss to request ire to escort him back to the Star Gate.

Both Denton and Christopher cast a nce towards Gilmore, standing next to ire. They all had
the same thought, realizing this request might upset Gilmore, given ire was his girlfriend.
No
man would befortable with his girlfriend escorting another man home, especially on a long
journey to a distant ce like the Star Gate in Oakhaven.
Denton, trying to defuse the situation, cleared his throat and said, “Mr. McLean, ire is young and
inexperienced.
“If she were to apany you and perhaps fail to observe proper decorum at the Star Gate, it
would be rather inappropriate.
“Let me escort you instead. I also want to express my gratitude in person to the Star Gate for t
tremendous assistance they’ve provided to the Carter family.”
However, Ss’s expression turned noticeably cold. “Master Denton, he began sternly, “my group
and I traveled a great distance from the Star Gate in Oakhaven to help the Carter family navigate its
perils. It was in assisting your family that we were harmed and had our limbs broken.
“And now, all I ask is for ire to escort me back, and you refuse?
“Are you insinuating that I might have ill intentions towards her?
“Do my bandaged limbs truly make you so wary of mer
Growing visibly irritated, Ss continued, “If that’s the case, then don’t bother escorting us. I’ll call
my father and have someone from the Star–Gate pick us up.
“Mr. McLean, with your hand in that condition, are you sure making a call won’t add insult to
injury?“: voice interjected.
Looking up, Ss found that it was Gilmore speaking
A frown immediately settled on Ss’s face. “What, Mr. Reed? Are you delighted to see me in this
state?” Gilmore chuckled lightly, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. McLean. I meant no harm. You’re right
and injured.
“If ire escorts you back to the Star Gate, I trust that everything will be fine.”
To Ss’s surprise, Gilmore was advocating on his behalf. A smile broke across his face.
Turning to Denton, Ss said, “See, Mr. Carter? Even Mr. Reed, ire’s boyfriend, thinks it’s right
for ire to apany me.
“So, it seems that in your eyes, I’m someone not to be trusted.
“I’ll be sure to inform my father of this once I’m back at the Star Gate. Some people pay lip service
to gratitude but don’t really hold it in their hearts.”
Denton was puzzled by Gilmore’s sudden agreement, but he sensed that the young man must have
had his reasons.
Trying to mend the situation, he said to Ss, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. McLean. The Star Gate
has been exceedingly gracious to us. I value that bond deeply.
“If you’re adamant about having ire apany you, then so be it.
“Should ire cause any unintended offense during her stay at the Star Gate, I hope you can
forgive her Ss, in a magnanimous gesture, waved his hand and assured, “Rest easy, Mr. Carter.
With me around, no one will dare slight Miss Carter.”
Feeling the weight of the moment, Denton turned to Caire and said, “ire, you will escort Mr.

back to the Star Gate.”
Although ire was very reluctant to apany Ss, she couldn’t go against her grandfather’s
wishes. “Yes, Grandpa,” she replied dutifully.
Seeing ire’s acquiescence, a gleam of delight appeared on Ss’s face. “ire, he said with a
hint of excitement, “Thendscapes of Oakhaven are truly breathtaking. And where the Star Gate is
located, on Sword Mountain, it’s as enchanting as a fairnd.
“When we arrive at the Star Gate, I’ll definitely take you to admire the scenic views.”
However, ire wasn’t particrly interested in thendscapes of Sword Mountain at the Star
Gate.
She hummed nomittally. Then, taking Gilmore’s hand, they stepped a few meters away,
ensuring their conversation remained private.
“Why did you agree to let me escort Ss back to the Star Gate?” ire whispered.
Gilmore grinned, “I wanted to visit Oakhaven and take in the sights.”
ire’s eyes lit up, “So, you’reing with me to the Star Gate?”
“Not exactly to the Star Gate,” Gilmore exined. “You head there first.
“I’ll find a hotel in a nearby city tomorrow and message you.
“After you’re done at the Star Gate, we can explore Oakhaven together.”
Joy spread across ire’s face. “Perfect. You head to the nearby city today, and tomorrow, we’ll
explore Oakhaven together.”
With ns settled, they returned to where Denton and the others were waiting.
Everyone noticed the stark transformation in ire’s demeanor. From the sullen look she previously
wore, her face now beamed radiantly.
Everyone was quite curious about what Gilmore had said to brighten her spirits so quickly.
“Grandpa, Gilmore and I have discussed everything. We’re ready for the helicopter now,” ire
said, her reluctance nowhere in sight.
Denton, snapping out of his surprise, nodded, “Alright, let’s board the helicopter.”
Denton then directed his guards to assist Ss, Julian, and the other injured members of the Star
Gate seated in wheelchairs towards the helicopter.
Carefully, they lifted each injured individual from the wheelchairs and settled them into the
helicopter. Once everyone from the Star Gate was aboard, ire bid farewell to her grandfather,
parents, and Gilmore, then stepped into the helicopter.
Of course, for this mission of escorting the injured members of the Star Gate, Denton ensured that
over a dozen of the Carter family’s martialists apanied them for added security.
The two helicopters, carrying ire, Ss, and the others, lifted off from the Carter family’s
mansion, soaring higher into the sky.
They flew farther and farther away until they vanished from the sight of Denton and the rest.
Only then did everyone turn their gaze away.
Denton then looked at Gilmore, “Gilmore, why did you agree to let ire take Ss back?”
Christopher and his wife also curiously turned their attention to Gilmore.
Gilmore replied, “Mr. Carter, as you’ve noticed, Ss has taken a fancy to ire,
I’m aware that his request for ire to apany him back is merely an excuse. However, if ire
didn’t go with him, Ss would undoubtedly harbor resentment. Once he’s back, he would malign
the Carter family at every turn, possibly even fabricating all sorts of usations against us “Given
his status as the heir to Star Gate, his words would naturally carry more weight with his people

than ours would.
“This could bring disaster upon the Carter family.”
After hearing Gilmore’s exnation, Denton and Christopher’s family had a sudden realization.
They now understood why Gilmore had consented to ire’s apanying Ss.
However, what Denton didn’t know was that Gilmore had not revealed the entire truth.
The real reason he had ultimately agreed for ire to apany
Ss was something he had seen through his special visionary ability God’s Eye that Star Gate
was hatching against the Carter family!
