Flynn wrung out the water from his shirt.
He shook it off and left it on a large boulder.
Since there was no one on the mountaintop, he decided to take off his pants and wring out the water. It felt uncomfortable being all wet.
Meanwhile, Layla Woods entered deep into the bamboo forest, feeling the increasing spiritual energy as she went further in.
As a powerful Grandmaster and a disciple of the Green Liniment Ghost Doctor, she was highly sensitive to spiritual energy.
Feeling the subtle influx of spiritual energy into her body, she felt incredibly relaxed and content both physically and mentally, secretly amazed.
It was no wonder that Lord Valerian Nox, as a Greater Sovereign, considered this place a treasure for cultivation. It was truly remarkable.
How wonderful it would be if she could cultivate here as well.
She envied Molly George for being able to seize this opportunity before her.
As she was lost in her thoughts, Layla found herself standing less than a hundred meters away from the cliff.
There, she saw a man standing near the edge of the cliff, completely naked except for his underwear. He was wringing out his pants with his back facing the cliff.
The man’s back was strong and muscular, with firm glutes and smooth lines. His arms were well-defined and powerful, while his legs were solid and sturdy like steel.
His entire body exuded strength and vitality, showcasing his physical prowess.
Layla was stunned. She had never seen such a perfect physique before.
He was so strong!
Her heart skipped a beat. Not only was Lord Valerian Nox incredibly powerful, but his body was also flawless!
The image of Lord Valerian Nox’s physique would leave a lasting impression in Layla Woods’ mind.
She liked it so much!
This was what an ideal man should look like!
Wait… What was she doing?
Peeping at Lord Valerian Nox’s body?
Why did she feel like a peeping Tom?
But it wouldn’t hurt to look a little longer, right?
Just as Layla entertained these thoughts, she suddenly snapped back to reality as if struck by lightning.
She quickly took several steps back.
She nearly jeopardized herself with her earlier fantasy!
What would Lord Valerian Nox think if he saw her peeping at him?
This was not the right time!
At that moment, Flynn also sensed someone’s presence in the bamboo forest.
Layla saw Lord Valerian Nox about to turn around. Her scalp tingled, and she quickly ran down the mountain as fast as she could.
How embarrassing!
It was too awkward!
Although she was hailed as a prodigy among people, when faced with such situations, she became flustered. As a woman who had never been intimate with a man before, Layla Woods blushed and didn’t know what to do.
All she wanted was to escape!
She couldn’t let Lord Valerian Nox see her. Otherwise, her image would be completely ruined.
He would think of her as a peeping Tom!
She could forget about becoming his disciple for the rest of her life.
But why didn’t Lord Valerian Nox like her?
She couldn’t accept it without asking him!
As Layla quickly ran down the mountain, her mind raced. Then she recalled something important.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
“I treated Maisie Carlisle at the Watson family’s place before, and Lord Valerian Nox and Zion Watson are enemies…”
“He must think I’ve sided with Zion Watson!”
This was disastrous!
She never imagined that this would be the root cause of their misunderstandings!
If only she had known how powerful Lord Valerian Nox was. Even if the Watsons paid her one billion in consultation fees, she wouldn’t have gone!
Layla Woods deeply regretted her decision.
But who could have predicted that Lord Valerian Nox could easily defeat Jack Jenkins? She thought he would be just another stepping stone for Jack Jenkins…
“I should go back for now. I’ll apologize and explain everything another day. I must cut ties with the Watson family.”
“But I only met Zion Watson a few times. How can I cut ties with him?”
“Besides, Xavier Caldwell tried to assassinate me in Northview.”
As Layla Woods pondered, she suddenly felt sorry for Flynn.
She misunderstood him.
Flynn didn’t hire an assassin to kill her…
“I should find an opportunity to talk to him. I’m not someone who is unreasonable!”
With that in mind, Layla Woods drove away from Jade Dragon Mountain. Before leaving, she glanced at the mountaintop one last time.
“Flynn, you should see Lord Valerian Nox with your own eyes.”
“You two are not much different in age.”
“But there is an insurmountable gap between you two.”
“No! You are a world apart from him! Lord Valerian Nox is the brightest star in the sky, while you are just dust!”
“Well… you might be slightly better than that since you’re a Grandmaster. But what does that matter when you’re ten times weaker than me? How can you possibly compare to the mighty Lord Valerian Nox?”
On the mountaintop.
“Layla Woods? What the hell this woman is doing here? Didn’t I tell her not to come? And now she’s peeping at my body!”
Layla Woods hurriedly fled while Flynn also sensed someone’s presence. He put on his clothes and chased after her to the entrance of the mountain top where he saw her already halfway down the mountain.
“This woman is unbelievable! Dragon Gate Group has been in chaos, and yet she still has time to come here seeking apprenticeship!”
“I’ll have to talk to her properly next time so that she won’t bother me again.”
“Well… Her legs are quite a feast for the eyes but still inferior to Lilia Hussain’s…”
Flynn leisurely descended from the mountain with a hint of amusement on his face.
Faced with Rose Sharp’s relentless attack, Lilia Hussain must be feeling terrible right now.
Maybe now she was considering begging him for mercy…
By the time Flynn reached the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark outside.
That was when he received a call from Scarlet Wong. She headed to Plenilune Mountain after work.
Flynn drove to Plenilune Mountain where Scarlet Wong was waiting at the foot of the mountain with traces of dust on her clothes and some dirt on her shoes from Ponocord Bay’s dusty roads.
“You’ve worked hard,” Flynn smiled guiltily, feeling like he was taking advantage of her efforts.
He carried her bag for her without hesitation.
Scarlet Wong smiled and said, “It’s all for making money.”
Flynn didn’t comment on that statement. It wasn’t entirely false. Once Orco Real Estate was developed, money would be pouring in endlessly. Considering that, her recent hard work was definitely worth it.
“I’ll give you Orco Real Estate. If I need money, I’ll come to you.” Flynn wrapped his arm around Scarlet Wong’s slender waist and walked towards Thodell Mansion at the mountaintop together.
“Give it to me?” Scarlet Wong raised an eyebrow in surprise but smiled playfully. “Sure thing! I’ll support you from now on.”
“But if I find out you’re using money on other women, I’ll castrate you!” She made scissor gestures threateningly while smiling mischievously.
Flynn laughed and said jokingly, “Oh? In that case, maybe I won’t give it to you!”
“What? You bastard! I’ll strangle you!” Scarlet Wong threatened as she lunged at him.
Flynn swiftly dodged and dashed up towards the mountaintop while Scarlet Wong shouted after him in frustration. “You… Ahh! You’re driving me crazy!”
The two playfully wrestled their way into the villa. Flynn took a quick bath since he felt dirty after being soaked by rainwater mixed with sweat. It didn’t smell pleasant at all.
When Flynn returned to their master bedroom, he froze at what he saw-quite the sight…
“Flynn, come here and massage me.” Scarlet Wong’s slightly parted red lips formed a seductive smile that resembled that of an enchantress.
Scarlet Wong had changed into a uniform and lay provocatively on their bed.
Beneath her short skirt were long slender legs wrapped in smooth stockings.
Her fair skin contrasted against the glossy texture of her stockings, radiating an irresistible allure.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall across the bed sheets, creating an enticing contrast with her stockings…
