Winson let out a bloodcurdling scream as he let go of Gwen and clutched his manhood, slumping onto the ground in excruciating agony.Gwen quickly turned around, intending to check on the man in black.Initially, she was expecting to see five or six tall, burly men overpowering and attacking the lonesome man in black, but to her surprise…All six of Winson's men were slumped on the ground in crumpled heaps, clutching various areas of their bodies as they wailed in agony, not unlike Winson.The man in black, however, was not at all fazed. In fact, there was not even a hair out of place.Seeing that Gwen had escaped from Winson, the man lifted his head to glance at her.All Gwen could see from her distance was his dark, penetrating eyes, but she could make out the vague hint of a smile in them.She could not help faltering at this.For some reason, she was again reminded of Luke.Luke used to be as good at fighting as this man was, and he also used to smile at her like this…"Le
The man could not help curling his lips into a smile when he heard this. "I'm the last person in this world to be scared of death."The truth was, he should have died long ago.Who would have thought…a man that should have died would turn out to be resurrected in his twin brother's body?"That's good to hear." Gwen paused. "I'm willing to pay you double whatever Joshua's paying you. If you follow me back to Sea City, you'll be getting triple the amount of money than what you're getting now."With that, she let out an exhale and continued, "Can you help me buy the tickets? Let's go to Sea City.""Alright." The man smiled, strode into the living room, and sat down on the sofa.Gwen could not help glancing at his name while he bought the plane tickets to Sea City.His name was Stefan Joneson.Not a bad name.Gwen was ready to depart with all her belongings.She was just here on a short trip and thus did not have much stuff with her.Stefan was an even bigger minimalist; all his
Hearing what Gwen said, Stefan smiled. "That's great."If she could forget about her sad past, even if he was not by her side protecting her, he would not worry."I think it's great, too." Gwen smiled and led Stefan into the villa. Since no one had stayed for a long time, the entire place was covered in a layer of dust. Gwen flicked the switch, but the living area was still in darkness.She furrowed her eyebrows and looked up at the chandelier. "Is it broken?""I don't think so."Stefan placed the things in his hands down, turned around, and headed out. Soon, the lights indoors were turned on.He returned from outside. "The main switch wasn't on."Gwen hesitated for a while before chuckling sheepishly. "I'm sorry. I really lack proper life skills."Her father had cared for and pampered her from a young age. After all, she was also the heiress to Sea City's Larson Group. When she got married to Ben, he treated her well too, because he was after her family fortune.Then came t
"You better be honest!""How much do you have on you? Hand it out!""If I were you, I would've left Sea City a long time ago. Luke has been long dead and you have no one backing you, yet you're still in Sea City. Are you staying because you think your other brothers are living terribly, so you want to compensate them?""You'll have to be as honest as how arrogant you were back then when Luke was alive!""Kurt Will, don't blame us brothers for being ruthless! If you want to blame someone, blame Luke Jones for dying too early!"…A familiar name and uneasy cries rang out in the alley. Stefan furrowed his brows.He would never forget the name Kurt Will.Kurt was one of Luke's loyal men. He had always been his bodyguard, protecting him. He was one of the first in the gang to know about Luke's wish to sacrifice himself for Gwen and was the first one to support his sacrifice for the one he loved.Kurt had always been a quiet, loyal man. Luke had also once predicted that after he lef
Stefan felt a little sorry for Kurt, seeing him in this state.Back then, he only cared for Gwen. His only concern was to have the love of his life live her best life yet had neglected his brothers in the process.If he were still alive, Kurt, the man who was always loyal to him, would not have been attacked so badly.At that thought, Stefan took a deep breath and smiled at Kurt. "Who said we don't know each other?"Then, he clenched his fists and glared at the thugs fearlessly. "I'm here just to let you know one thing."Whether in the past or the future, Kurt Will is under my wing. If you want to bully him in the future, you'll have to go through me!"Then, he swung his fist at the thugs.The leader of the thugs never thought that Stefan would be so courageous. They were caught off guard and stumbled a few steps backward, almost falling.After a while, the thug got a hold of his footing. He looked up and glared at Stefan. "How dare you hit me?!"Stefan snickered. "Not only do
Kurt was even more baffled at that moment. His boss was not dead, but he even gave himself a new name!He went from Luke Jones to Stefan Joneson?"Let's go. I'll take you to the doctor." Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, walked over, and helped Kurt stand up. "What happened to your arm?"Kurt paused for a while before saying honestly, "I broke it in an accident on delivery a few days ago."As Stefan helped him up, he sighed and added, "Max Church sent those men to check on me to see if I've been in contact with Gwen, but when they saw my broken arm, they started extorting me for money and bullying me."Kurt smiled bitterly at Stefan. "Have I embarrassed you?"Things were different when he was with Luke as it was him doing the beating; never was there a moment when Kurt was beaten. However, at that moment…Kurt felt terrible letting his former boss see him beaten up so badly."It's not embarrassing at all." Stefan was silent for a long time before sighing deeply. "It's my fault. All
"I'm fine. I helped out an injured person on the way back." Stefan smiled. "Don't worry; not many people can hurt me in a place like Sea City."At that, Gwen was instantly silent. After a while, she said gently, "Okay. Come back quickly."She did not wait for Stefan's response as she hung up.Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, a little surprised that she hung up on him so quickly. Gwen was usually very polite to strangers and people she was not close to. Only with people who she was very close to would she show her true character, doing things like hanging up on them before they could finish a sentence."Boss…" At that moment, Kurt said feebly, "Don't you think you've kind of exposed your identity a little by what you said just now? Gwen thinks you're a foreigner, being your first time here in Sea City, yet you said that no one could hurt you here."He cast a careful glance at Stefan, saying, "Do you think she'll realize who you are?"Stefan furrowed his brows. He realized that ever s
Gwen's entire body stiffened when she saw Stefan's reaction. She furrowed her eyebrows and immediately realized what she had done. "Luke is…someone that I used to know.""That's the name of my old boss," Kurt said as he stepped into the house. "He passed away some time ago."Since he had promised Stefan that he would go along with his act and pretend to be acquaintances, that was what he had to do.He strode over to Gwen and reached out to shake her hand. "Long time no see, Ms. Larson."Gwen widened her eyes in shock when she saw who it was. A split second later, her gaze changed to one of incredulity. "Are you…Kurt?""Yes, that's me." Kurt chuckled. "I thought you had forgotten me.""Why would I?" Gwen shook her head, and her gaze fell on Kurt's broken arm. "I just never thought that…"Kurt was one of the bravest and most ruthless of all of Luke's men. Out of all of them, he had been selected to become Luke's personal bodyguard and had assumed this role for many years. Thus, it
