    Chapter 304 Why Is He Here


    Did they truly mention… the Ghost Sect?


    That name carried an ominous weight, casting shadows upon her thoughts. Initially dismissed as


    hyperbole by the caregiverdy, it now loomed ominously real.


    The man’s movements were swift as lightning. Before Milly could fully grasp the peril, his fist surged


    towards her with lethal intent. Swiftly, she sidestepped, narrowly evading the blow.


    The force was palpable; the wind of its passage grazed her cheek with savage urgency. Her


    reflexes, keenly honed, spared her from a dire fate.


    Her adversary, taken aback by her agility, narrowed his eyes. “I didn’t anticipate such skill.”


    Milly smirked, her resolve unshaken. “You haven’t seen anything yet.”


    Launching a counterattack, she aimed for his nk. Thoughcking in brute strength, her


    nimbleness and speed granted her dominance, leaving him scant opportunity to recover.


    Their struggle remained bnced, a contest of wills and wiles.


    Yet Milly sensed a shift. The earlier loss of blood had sapped her strength; despite her body’s


    resilience, the exertion exacted its toll. Energy waned, reflexes dulled.


    Injured hand and limited mobilitypromised, she found herself at a disadvantage. Her adversary,


    relentless and tireless, pressed on.

    No, I can’t keep this up too long. I need to end this quickly, Milly surmised Aware of her dwindling


    stamina, her adversary taunted, “Thought you were tough? You’re nothing.”


    “Once, I refrained from striking a woman,” he dered, his assaults intensifying. “But you’ve


    brought this upon yourself.”


    Undeterred by fear, Milly embraced the thrill ofbat. “Bring it on.”


    “Damn you!”


    As his fury surged, so did his strikes, each more forceful than thest. Yet, on the brink of delivering


    a -decisive blow, the door behind him creaked open with a suddenness that startled him.


    “Hey!”


    Someone had barged in, but thebatants were deep in battle to take notice. However, a sharp


    roar shouted, “Hey, hey, Jett, stop!”


    That shout distracted Milly’s adversary. This was a chance she wouldn’t let go. With a roundhouse


    kick, she delivered a sharp blow to his chest, and something cracked.


    Jett tumbled to the ground, holding his chest tightly as he hacked. “Goddammit, Danny… Are you


    are


    you mad?


    The abrupt disruption came from none other than Danny himself.

    manner tinged with concern, “Ms. Milly, are you unscathed?”


    Drawing aposed breath, Milly affirmed, “I’m unharmed.”


    Danny persisted with worry etched upon his countenance, “You’re certain? I heard a sound akin to


    bone snapping just now. If you’re injured, it would be prudent to seek medical evaluation.”


    Milly gestured towards Jett, sprawled on the floor, “It’s not myself. His ribs may be fractured.”


    Danny and Jett evidently shared a degree of familiarity, though not intimacy. The notion of injuring


    an acquaintance in their presence seemed discordant, particrly given their underworld


    associations. How did Dannye to be associated with them?


    Just as Milly contemted an exnation, she noticed Danny exhaling profoundly, a gesture akin


    to one who had narrowly averted catastrophe. “Phew, what a relief”


    Jeut, suffering visibly, regarded Danny with puzzlement.


    That confused Milly. They know each other? Wait, are they enemies?


    Equally bewildered, Milly couldn’t help but inquire, “Mr. Jarvis, yourpanion… seems injured…”


    Danny responded nonchntly, nodding before shing a conciliatory smile towards her, “Oh, he’ll


    manage. He’s not on death’s door anytime soon.”


    Milly asked, “Oh?”


    Jett, amidst difort, red at Danny with intensity, his desire to rebuke apparent. “You


    treacherous b*stard, how dare you! How dare you forsake loyalty for desire! Mark my words, I shall


    inform the Master, let the Master…”


    Danny swiftly silenced him, his hand firmly over Jett’s mouth, whispering with vehemence, ‘Shut it!


    You should be thanking me for saving your hide! If any harm befell her, you’d be facing far worse!”


    Jett’s expression turned to confusion.


    Seeing his perplexity, Danny’s frustration was palpable, his teeth clenched in exasperation. “If you


    don’t get it, keep quiet. Just know I’m doing you a favour!”


    Once Jett subsided, Danny adopted a genial facade, straightening himself as he addressed Milly


    with a grin. “What a coincidence, you find yourself here for treatment. Small world, isn’t it? This here


    is my mate, bit slow upstairs due to a donkey’s kick in his youth. Don’t mind him.”


    Jett looked bamboozled.


    In her encounters with Danny, Milly discerned his meticulous nature andpetence; if he


    asserted. something, it invariably bore truth.


    Observing Jett, she couldn’t help but pity him, for a man of such evident talent to reveal himself as


    simple–minded was indeed regrettable.


    What a pity it was to witness his carlier outburst, behaving as if he were the sole inhabitant of the


    world. Even within the criminal fraternity, such reckless conduct in broad daylight was seldom


    encountered.


    In retrospect, the pieces of the puzzle aligned neatly. Yet, amidst this rity, a query lingered.

    Mr. Jarvis, weren’t you meant to apany George on his overseas “journey?” Milly’s tone carried


    an unwitting hint of anticipation.


    Danny’s affable demeanour momentarily stiffened, his ingratiating smile freezing upon his lips.


    “Um… Mr. Tate, he….


    “Mr. Tate remains engaged with crucial clients abroad. As you know, business ventures demand


    extensive client engagement. Have no fear, he shall return in due course.


    Milly furrowed her brow. The duration of his absence seemed unexpectedly protracted.
