    The kiss ended, narrowly avoiding going too far.


    Luckily, they were in the living room, so Luther didn''t act recklessly.


    He held her waist, breathing heavily, his breath spraying on her neck, causing her whole body to heat


    up.


    Joyce pushed him away, "Control yourself, okay?"


    Luther kissed her red lips again, "I''m already controlling myself, my dear wife."


    "No more kissing. This is the living room. What if Darrines inter and sees us? It''s not good."


    Joyce looked displeased. She didn''t even want to mention Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold had already seen


    them, but he wisely left.


    She felt that her face was getting thicker and thicker. She used to feel embarrassed about it.


    Being caught by Mr. Arnold so often, she had be numb to it.


    Luther raised his head, his handsome face filled with resentment. He had forgotten that there was still


    Darrin as a third wheel who coulde in at any time. It was really annoying.


    But then he thought, Joyce currently needed protection.


    So he moved Joyce aside, "When you go out or work, take him with you. Let him protect you at all


    times. That way, I can feel at ease."


    Joyce looked at him suspiciously. Had this man changed? He wasn''t jealous at all? It was rare.


    Luther saw the doubt in her eyes and quickly exined, "After experiencing so many things before, I


    always felt uneasy. Now that I think about it, Dashuai was right to assign a trusted person to protect


    you. It''s necessary. If it were me, I would do the same."


    Joyce stood up, "There''s no need for so much danger. It''s a peaceful era now."


    She poured herself a ss of water and took a few sips. Suddenly, she remembered something and


    quickly said, "Wait for me. I have something for you. These past few days, you''ve beening back


    Luther replied, "Okay."


    After a moment, Joyce took out a box from the study and returned to the living room. She handed the


    box to Luther, saying, "I prepared this for you."


    Luther nced at the box, "What is this?"


    "Open it first," Joyce said mysteriously.


    Luther took the box and lifted the lid. Inside the box was a cylindrical mini metal rod, to be precise,


    slightly longer and thicker than a cigarette.


    "A mini shlight?" he asked. He couldn''t tell what it was at first nce. It was made of pure silver


    metal, seamless throughout.


    "Why would I give you something as simple as a shlight?" Joyce said disdainfully. "What I''ve given


    you is the most advanced cutting-edge technology."


    Luther raised an eyebrow and yed with her long hair, calmly looking at her. "So what is it exactly?


    My dear wife."


    "There are two devices inside. The wider end can generate a strong electric current in a short period of


    time. You only need to touch the other person with this metal rod, and they will instantly fall to the


    ground," Joyce gestured to Luther. "See, it can be used for self-defense."


    "Hmm, I probably won''t need it," Luther curled his lips into a faint smile. "When we''re up close, I can


    just knock them down directly. How little faith do you have in mybat skills?"


    Joyce red at him yfully, "You can never be too careful. It''s better to have something than nothing."


    "Understood," Luther said while ying with her hair. "The other end, I suppose, is the advanced


    feature you want to introduce."


    "You''re smart!" Joyce pointed to the other end of the metal rod. "The stun baton is just an additional


    function. The real power of this metal rod lies in its ability to emit electromaic pulse waves, which


    can cause circuit failures, disrupt shortwavemunication, burn out fuses, pierce instionyers,


    shut down wireless control devices, disable rm control systems, and even affect radar within a


    radius of a hundred meters."


    Luther narrowed his eyes after hearing this. It was impressive.


    "Where did you get this?" He held the metal rod in his hand, finding it lightweight andpact. He


    didn''t expect it to be so powerful.


    "In fact, QR has been developing this technology for a long time, originally intending to test and breach


    security systems. However, there was always a core technology that couldn''t be cracked. QRcked


    military talents in this field. After I reunited with my mom, I mentioned this and wanted the technical


    teams from both sides to work together to break through this core technology. So we have been


    secretly working on it. Originally, we nned to use this technology during the merger and general


    offensive of the warlords. Unfortunately, by the time we developed it, the Otis incident had already


    ended, and it didn''tserve its purpose. So I had them create a simplified version that can be used for


    self-defense in daily life."


    Joyce pointed at the metal rod. "Put it in your bag, you never know when it mighte in handy. Darrin


    and I each have one too."


    Back then, she carried the maic spheres with her, which saved her from Otis''s attack.


    Luther put the metal rod in his pocket. "What you gave me, of course, needs to be well-preserved."


    He asked, "This technology can be used for security in one direction and in reverse for military


    purposes. Its power is extraordinary. It can disrupt radar and cause various effects. The warlords are


    lucky to have someone as talented as you."


    Joyce smiled, "I can only solve a small part of the problem. The rest requires support from various


    technical teams. Besides, this technology currently has a limited range for targeted attacks. It still


    needs further development. I just made a few prototypes for now, for use in small-scale attacks."


    "That''s still impressive."


    Luther praised her and couldn''t help pecking her lips lightly.


    Originally, it was just a casual taste, but when he touched her soft, warm lips, he couldn''t control


    himself again and embraced her tightly, kissing her deeply.


    She was like a deadly poison to him, and he had be addicted, unable to quit.


    Just then, Darrin walked in and happened to see the scene.


    He paused for a moment, turned his face away awkwardly, and coughed lightly.


    Joyce was startled and quickly pushed Luther away, standing up from his embrace. Damn it, they had


    been caught by Darrin again. She felt so embarrassed and felt like she couldn''t face anyone. They


    were showing affection openly in front of everyone.


    "Cough, cough." She cleared her throat. "I''ll go take a look in the garden."


    After speaking, she quickly left the living room.


    Luther didn''t feel embarrassed at all. He stood up and straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes.


    He walked over to Darrin, suddenly serious, "When I''m not around, you should always stay by her side.


    It''s not peacefultely, and you should pay special attention to Rocus people."


    Darrin furrowed his brow, "Rocus people? Mr. Warner, do you know something?"


    Luther shook his head, "I''m not sure either, but there have been quite a few traces of Rocus people in


    Khebury recently. The timing coincides with our return. Be cautious."


    Darrin nodded, "Mr. Warner, rest assured, I will consider Dashuai''s safety more important than my own


    life."


    Luther lightly patted Darrin''s shoulder.


    This was the style of a warlord, and he could feel a little more at ease with Darrin around.


    When he turned around, a shadow of gloom covered his eyes.


    The road ahead would be exceptionally difficult, and he didn''t have much time left...
