Chapter 108
In the evening, our convoy arrived at the Dark Moon Pack. Stepping onto thisnd again, my
feelings were quiteplex. Nora seemed to sense my unease, so after we settled our luggage at
the hotel hosting the visiting dignitaries, she took me to a nearby bar.
“Diana, let’s have some drinks. Get drunk, and you can forget all your troubles!”
Nora tilted her head back, downing a whole cocktail, then grabbed my hand, pulling me onto the
dance floor. Amidst the shifting colorful lights, we swayed our bodies to the energetic beat and
music.
Gradually, it felt like I had indeed left all my unhappiness behind, with only the pulsating world and
exhrating music before me. Nora gave me a tug and shouted in my ear, “Diana, I need to use the
restroom! Wait for me here!”
I waved my hand, taking a big sip of my drink. Although we imed not to return until we were
drunk, I had only ordered a low–alcohol fruit wine, considering the formal asion tomorrow. I
never thought this light wine would get me intoxicated.
As my body temperature rose unusually, my consciousness began to blur. I staggered towards a
booth, wanting to take a break.
Someone grabbed my arm.
“Don’t go.” A strange voice echoed near my ear, with a hint of arrogance. “You’re really beautiful.
Honestly, I haven’t seen anyone like you around here. Tonight, spend some quality time with me.
“Get lost!”
I shook my head, trying to free myself from the man’s grasp.
“Don’t bother wasting your energy. I’ve drugged your drink, and soon you’ll lose all your strength.
Behave and listen to me, don’t make me angry.”
The man let out a sly, sinisterugh, tightened his grip around my waist, and led me out of the
crowd towards the upstairs rooms.
Upon learning about the spiked drink, I surprisingly became calmer. Pretending to struggle a bit, I
followed the man upstairs. Little did he know that, when he wasn’t paying attention, I had already
taken a counteracting sobering agent.
Now all I had to do was wait quietly for the sobering agent to take effect. Ten minutes. At most ten
minutes, the arm draped over my waist would be gruesomely severed!
He would regret it
“Let her go!”
A familiar yet icy voice suddenly resounded.
I forced myself to lift my head. In my blurry vision, I saw a tall and slender figure! I closed and
opened my eyes with effort, and that figure gradually became clear, presenting a handsome face
before me.
Nathan!
I was greatly surprised.
How could he be here?
“Who the hell are you? Don’t disturb my good time, get lost!” the man holding me growled
menacingly.
Nathan’s face turned cold.
“I’ll say it again, let her go.”
“You tell me to let go, and I won’t? I won’t!” The man, probably quite drunk, spoke with a thick
tongue. “Not only won’t I let go, but I’ll also have my way with this woman right in front of you!
What’s the matter? If your buddy fancies her, I don’t mind sharing augh with you…”
The manughed brazenly, reaching to tear at my dress. Nathan’s eyes erupted with a chilling
intensity, and he swiftly walked towards me-
At that moment, someone reached from behind and grabbed the man’s hand on my waist.
Immediately, there was a crisp sound, and the man let out a painful scream. Before I could react, he
was kicked in the chest, flying into the wall. The impact was so strong that cracks appeared in the
wall.
Simultaneously, a dry, warm hand grasped me, pulling me behind.
From my perspective, I could only see broad shoulders and the slightly protruding cervical vertebrae
at the back of the neck.
Bang! The man slid down the wall, crashing onto the floor, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“You… you yed dirty! You resorted to a sneak attack!” The man shouted indignantly.
“Dealing with scum like you doesn’t require fairness,” a cold voice rang out. “Taking your life doesn’t
need it either.”
“Ryley! That’s enough! Don’t cause a fatality.”
Just before Ryley could snap the man’s neck, I intervened in time, grabbing Ryley.
Ryley turned around, lowered his head, scrutinized me for a moment, and asked, “Are you
injured?”
I shook my head, “No.”
The sobering agent had been taking effect since a while ago. My consciousness had mostly
recovered, but my body still felt a bit weak; I couldn’t stand very steadily. Ryley supported me with
one hand and whispered, “I’ll take you back.”
Considering the current situation, staying in the bar wasn’t suitable for me.
I nodded, leaning on the wall, and heading towards the staircase.
“Wait.”
Nathan’s voice came from behind me.
Ryley and I halted, turning around to face Nathan.

“How did you end up here?” Nathan asked me.
I hesitated for a moment.
It seemed everyone had simr questions. But when these words came from Nathan,
it was genuinely amusing.
“Here? Are you referring to Dark Moon Pack or the bar? If you’re asking why I’m at Dark Moon
Pack…”
I smirked, “Of course, I was invited to attend Alpha Nathan’s engagement banquet. But if you’re
asking why I’m at the bar, it’s simply because I wanted to have a drink.‘
The corridor wasn’t well–lit, and half of Nathan’s face was concealed in the shadows. I couldn’t
discern his expression and naturally had no idea what he was thinking.
Seeing him remain silent, I lost interest in waiting.
“Anyway…” I took a deep breath, “thanks for helping me just now. Nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
“Diana.”
To my surprise, Nathan called me again.
This time, he even walked up to me.
He lowered his head, getting closer, and his warm breath brushed against my ear.
The next moment, I heard him asking in a voice only the two of us could hear-
“Are you still investigating the Gummy Skull case?”
Gummy Skull?
Why did Nathan bring up Gummy Skull?
Could this bar be rted to Gummy Skull as well?
I nced sharply at Nathan, and in that split second, my lips identally brushed against his ear.
Both Nathan and I were taken aback.
Instinctively, I took a step back, and it happened to be right into Ryley’s arms.
Ryley might have mistaken me for being unsteady; his long arm wrapped around my waist, pulling
me snugly against his chest.
At that moment, it felt like I saw a storm raging in Nathan’s eyes.
