I should’ve known that she wasn’t someone who would behave herself. He nodded, saying, “Yeah,
that’s technically right.”
Satisfied with this response, Willow nodded. “Well then, let’s get along well from now on! What would
you like to drink? Order away!” He nodded. “Just a bottle of drinking water will do.”
She then went downstairs to get drinking water for him. On the other hand, he began his work. After
deciding to upgrade the surveince system around Presgrave Vi, he inserted his code program into
it.
Just then, Willow came back with the drinking water. At the sight of the man fully immersed in his work
while sitting on the couch with his back straight, she found herself captivated. The way he focused on
his work was always so charming, and the sight of his slender fingers typing out codemands was
just so cool.
She uncapped the water bottle and ced it beside him. ‘I won’t disturb you, then. I’ll be in the lounge
outside.”
Her heart had settled down. With the man by her side, she felt the whole world was rallying around her;
nothing new or interesting outside could draw her interest, and she could stay home quietly without
going anywhere.
She picked up her iPad and started ying games. She did y some to pass the time, though she
was not skilled at it and was often defeated by others. After losing several rounds in a row, she
sprawled on the couch in frustration.
Just then, Jasper pushed the door open and came out. Seeing the look on her face, he asked with
concern, “What’s wrong?”
“I keep losing!’ Willow sighed helplessly before her eyes brightened up. ‘Jasper, do you y. games?
Can you y a few rounds for me?” He sat down next to her, upon which she immediately taught him
how to y. After listening attentively as she exined the gamey several times, he took the iPad
from her and started ying for her.
She noticed that his hands’ movements were fast, precise, and highly defensive. Just as she expected,
he won the first round. She looked at him with admiration as he proceeded to the second round and
won again. She pped in excitement, saying, “Wow! You’re amazing!”
After finishing three rounds, he handed the iPad back to her. “You’re on your own now.”
She listened to him diligently as though she were a child. Since he was unwilling to y such childish
games, she decided not to y. either. She asked him, “Where are you going, then?”

He replied, “I’m going to check the surroundings and reposition some surveince cameras. You stay
here and wait for me.”
Suddenly, she grabbed his arm. “Give me a kiss before you go.” Jasper was speechless. “Just a kiss
on the cheek will do,” demanded Willow.
The man had no choice but toply with her overbearingmand. Cupping her little face in both
hands, he pressed his lips onto her rosy ones, his breath slightly heavier.
Her eyes widened slightly as she felt the intense rush of hormones between their lips. Feeling
somewhat dizzy, she shyly closed her eyes, savoring the kiss from her beloved on this quiet afternoon.
Inside an apartment in the city center, at mercenary with an aura of bloodlust was gazing at the city
with eyes full of hatred and murderous intent. He took out his phone and opened a photo. It was a
recent snapshot of Jasper’s movements, and in the photo stood at beautiful girl beside him. She was
the daughter of the Presgrave Family, Willow.
Inevitably, she also became one of his current targets. All his team members were killed, but the bounty
was still avable-a whopping 300 million dors! As long as he continued to finish this job, all the
money would be his.
He stared at the girl in the photo, capturing the look in Jasper’s eyes as he looked at her. A sinister
smile curved his lips. “Jasper Wyatt, I’ve finally found a way to make you suffer the most painful death.
Killing you with a single blow isn’t the most agonizing way. It’s making you watch your beloved woman
die before you that will truly make your life a living hell.”
He was Calvin Fitch, a killing machine trained by Moncent who ranked at the top of assassins. He had
superb hacking skills and the most terrifying means and physical prowess. The only time he had failed
was when Jasper intercepted him and got him kicked out of his previous organization.
