Chapter 763


    On the road in Yeringham, ke was still driving his decade-old Coro,


    following behind a Maserati.


    “Haha, Magnus, seems like your n has failed again, huh? You’re truly a


    failure. You can’t even kill an enemy after so many attempts!”


    At his teasing, Magnus’ lips curved into a faint smile. He held neither anger


    nor dismay.


    Yet, within his eyes, a glimmer of intrigue sparkled-a light hinting at


    something more.


    ‘From my earliest days up until now, I have never encountered such a


    enacious opponent. It’s rather interesting!”


    Magnus pushed his sses and grinned.


    Haha, I’ve seen this scene y out in movies and novels. Usually, after the


    ntagonist’s defeat by the protagonist, they utter such lines to salvage their


    pride! Magnus, I’m starting to believe that you’re akin to an antagonist, and


    your lifespan might not be all that long!”


    “Enough of that. Focus on your driving. If you keep talking like this, we might


    just see the end of our friendship!”


    Magnus pretended to be slightly angry.


    ke continued tough heartily. It was a novel sight to witness Magnus in


    this state. While not quite an expression of exasperation, the fact that


    someone could get him to this point of frustration was rather amusing.


    He was curious to meet Emmanuel and see what kind of character he was.


    Meanwhile, inside the Maserati, Ryder tightly gripped the steering wheel, and


    his palms were sweaty.


    He hadn’t driven for so many years, and now he was driving a Maserati.


    Moreover, the woman he liked was sitting in the passenger seat. How could


    he not be nervous?


    “Mr. Lowe, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot?”


    Tia sensed that something was off and offered him a tissue to wipe his


    sweat.


    Unbeknownst to her, each wipe only seemed to produce more sweat.


    “Are you feeling unwell? Let me turn on the air conditioning.”


    Tia’s brows furrowed with concern. Given the early spring weather, the


    temperature was nid. It was perplexing for Ryder to be dripping with sweat.


    “Hehe, Ms. Franks, my dad gets hot whenever he’s around you!” Tommy’s


    voice chimed in from the backseat.


    “Hey, little brat, you’re always butting in. Get back in your seat!”


    At Ryder’s suggestivement, it was Tia’s turn to blush.

    The security guards and greeters at the entrance hurriedly walked over with


    weing smiles when they saw such a luxurious car.


    When they saw Ta step out of the passenger seat and Tommy hop out from


    the book, they immediately assumed that the Maserati passengers were


    From a wealthy family.


    Little did they expect that the person who walked out of the driver’s seat was


    a weathered-skinned older man. At first nce, he could be mistaken for a


    seasoned farmer.


    Upon closer inspection, one might conjecture he was, at best, a retired


    This unexpected revtion prompted discreet murmurs among the


    observers. “How can such a beautiful woman be with such an ugly man?”


    “Surely, that man must be incredibly wealthy, right? Perhaps he razed his

    “Thank goodness the kid doesn’t take after his dad!”


    Overhearing these hushedments, Ryder couldn’t help but feel


    embarrassed.

    Tia also overheard thesements but kept her head down and brushed


    her hair behind her ear.


    “Hmph, what nonsense! My dad isn’t ugly!”


    Tommy’s sudden outburst startled the crowd.


    Just as everyone believed he was courageously standing up for his father


    and defending him, Tommy’s focus swiftly shifted to the opposite side of the


    scene, where an ugly man was getting out of a ck Coro.


    “Look there! See how my dadpares to that unattractive guy. Is my dad


    truly that ugly? That fellow over there is the real eyesore! Much uglier than
