Elara Don suddenly stripped the man's clothes, her eyes widening as she closely examined him.
The man's chest muscles were firm, his bronze skin appeared sensual and wild under the dim light.
From this close, she could smell the mixed scent of tobacco and mint on him.
The scene from four years ago surged back into her mind, causing Elara's face to change, heart pounding.
Was it him?
Four years ago, was it him who took away her purity?
Elara suddenly stood up, and when she touched a faint bite mark on the man's shoulder, her heart leaped to her throat.
It was him!
It must be him!
That night, she had bitten his shoulder in pain.
Back then, she tasted blood.
She thought she must have bitten very deeply!
The scent, the plum blossom birthmark, the bite mark, everything matched perfectly.
Elara was so furious she was about to lose it!
She so wanted to ask the bastard in front of her why he took away her purity back then!
"Woman, are you so interested in my body?"
The man's teasing voice sounded in her ear, making Elara want to smack him to death.
Damn man, she finally found him!
Yet luckily he hadn't recognized her!
"No! Just now, I smelled blood and thought I'd see if you were hurt anywhere."
This man was a thug!
Constantly shouting and fighting, enemies everywhere.
She definitely didn't want to be associated with a person like that.
Moreover, she didn't want him to know that she had given birth to two of his children four years ago!
Didn't want her sons to be in danger in the future!
So, she must protect the secret from four years ago!
"Did you see anything? Put some ointment on me."
The man's deep black eyes glanced over her, his chin lifting slightly to the bag she held in her hand.
So he started ordering her around?
Elara really wanted to throw her things hard at him.
But in the end, she calmed down.
Couldn't let him notice anything unusual about her.
Otherwise, her secret would be exposed!
"Bro, where are you from? You don't look young, surely you have a wife and kids?"
Elara simply sat beside him and started cleaning his wounds with medical supplies.
"Why are you asking this?"
The man raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on her delicate side profile, eyes flickering.
"Just asking casually!"
Elara applied iodine to the wound on his arm, blowing on it twice, "You're always fighting as a thug, you should at least leave a legacy in case you get killed one day!"
She was really like a Bodhisattva!
Why was she bothering to provide a legacy for a thug for free!
The woman's fragrance filled his nostrils.
The sting in the wound mingled with the tingling sensation from her gentle breath.
The man's muscles tightened suddenly, Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
His voice lowered even more hoarse, "You care about me? Why don't you give birth to one for me?"
Ha!
Damn man, climbing up as soon as he's given a ladder?
Elara applied a bit of force with a glare, "Sweet talker!"
She indeed gave birth to two for him, but he would never know this fact in this lifetime!
"Ow, are you trying to murder your husband?"
The man groaned, seeing Elara's angry little face, amusement flashing through his brows.
"Thug bro, if you take advantage of me with your words again, I'll..."
Elara stood up, pulling out a spray bottle from her bag, aiming it at the man.
Fierce yet cute!
Did she really think this thing was a universal spray?
The man chuckled lightly, interest gleaming in his deep black eyes.
"There's, I put medicine on for you, I'm leaving now."
Elara frowned slightly, her eyes meeting the man's deep black ones, feeling a strange familiarity.
A figure flashed in her mind, and she quickly shook her head, stopping herself from overthinking.
Why was she thinking of Damon Hawke again?
They are completely different people!
The woman's slender figure disappeared into the night, and only then did the man in black step out from the shadow towards the man.
"Sorry, master, I'm late. Those people have been dealt with, and your wound..."
"It's fine."
Damon Hawke sorted out his clothing, touching the wound that had just been tended to, a slight smile on his lips.
Charlotte Soo... amazed him!
"Master, the ones who wanted to kill you were underlings of your second uncle, who you drove out, what do you think..."
The man in black respectfully inquired, cold glints in his eyes.
"Chase Quinn, cut the tendons of those three men in black, and throw them in front of him. Tell him that there will be no mercy if it happens again."
Damon Hawke's long fingers adjusted the human skin mask on his face, then donned the Firebird mask, his tall figure exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
"Yes."
Chase Quinn complied, watching Damon stride forward, hesitantly, "Master, do you want me to investigate that woman just now?"
The master has a dual identity.
This is a secret.
Outwardly, Damon Hawke is the current head of the Hawke Group.
In secret, he holds another identity.
Leader of the Netherworld Organization.
This organization, under the previous leader, always operated on the edge of legality.
Since Damon Hawke took over, he started cleaning up and regrouping, planning to bring the organization into the light.
As a result, he would occasionally be attacked by dissenters within the organization.
And the woman who appeared suddenly just now, who knows if she was sent by the enemy to confuse him.
"No need, your brother is investigating."
Damon Hawke spoke, slightly curling his lips.
Rhun Quinn is investigating?
So, the master knew this woman from the start?
...
Elara Don quietly returned home, taking a deep breath.
What a thrilling night.
Fortunately, she managed to turn danger into safety.
Just as she put her things down, her phone rang.
Elara glanced at the caller ID, her red lips pressed tightly together.
It was Victoria Don calling.
Upon answering, the shrill voice of a woman came through the line.
"Elara Don, how ungrateful are you? We kindly introduced you to someone, and you nearly disfigured Riveras Hayes!"
Almost disfigured him!
Elara clenched her phone tightly, "He brought it on himself! Victoria Don, tell your parents that if this happens again, I'll ensure the other party's family line ends! At that time, don't expect those who were pandering to fare any better!"
With that, she ignored Victoria Don's yelling and hung up the call directly.
The Don Family, truly despicable!
Elara pressed her lips together, thinking of something, she opened her computer to search information about Victoria Don.
Victoria Don is now a big star, with plenty of gossip available online.
She just wanted to find some clues from it.
Could it be the Don Family who took her children away?
Elara quickly scanned several pieces of information, her brows knitted tightly.
Victoria Don had a child with Damon Hawke four years ago?
Because of this, she holds Damon Hawke's fiancée title, making waves in the entertainment industry?
How could it be such a coincidence?
If her children were really taken by the Don Family, could Damon Hawke's child be her child?
Was it Damon Hawke who took her purity four years ago?
Did Victoria Don discover this fact, and to marry Damon Hawke, took her child and tried to kill her?
No, no!
Didn't she already see Bea's biological father?
The thug from today is the man from back then!
