Renee was curious when she heard someone walking up the stairs.


    When she saw the neer’s face, she gaped slightly in surprise.


    “Haze, what… are you doing here?” She hadn’t seen him ever since they had said goodbye back then.


    Now, she was tongue-tied and didn’t know what to say.


    “It’s been a long time, Phoenix.” Haze smiled at her, dressed casually as usual.


    With both hands in his pockets, he looked like the very picture of nonchnce.


    “I’ve been thinking about you and watching you from afar.” Renee got goosebumps hearing that, and


    stuck her tongue out at him.


    “That sounds creepy, you know? People might think you’re a stalker who’s been having a crush on me


    for years.” Quinton red at Renee and scolded, “Renee, don’t be rude.


    Mr. Baldwin is our importantrade.


    His family is very powerful and influential, and they’re the only family that can fight against the Hunt


    family.


    If we want to defeat the Hunt family, we need the Baldwin family’s support.


    Also, he’s the reason I got this ce.


    If not, our home would’ve turned into a sewage treatment nt.


    You should be thanking him.” Renee rolled her eyes.

    “Quinton, you’re too naive.


    They wanted to set up a sewage treatment nt here because of him.


    He just used some petty tricks to make us owe him a favor.


    What’s so great about that?” In her eyes, Haze was just a rookie she defeated four years in a row


    during the Global Hacker Championship regardless of his powerful background.


    Of course, she could diss him any way she wanted.


    However, Haze was not at all angry.


    He pursed his lips and said, “Quinton, I’m sure you don’t know this, but Pheonix and I are actually good


    friends.


    She not only shares my trade, but she’s also my fiancee.


    My family hopes that I can marry her and take her home soon so I can bring glory to my family!” “Pfft!”


    Renee knew he would brag, but couldn’t control herughter when she heard his dramatic statement.


    “Dude, just stop.


    My brother will believe you.” “I’m not lying, am I?” Haze approached Renee and said pitifully, ‘TH be


    honest with you-my main reason foring to Beach City was to make you fall in love with me and


    marry me willingly.


    But what did you do? You ignored me and let me fend for myself in this strange city.” Renee smacked


    her forehead and groaned, then said, “If you don’t stop, I’m going to beat you up.” “Okay.” Haze


    immediately shut his mouth.


    He was fully aware of Renee’s martial arts skills, especially since he had experienced her violence


    every time they met.


    He really didn’t want that to happen now, or he would embarrass his family greatly.


    Quinton was very pleased when he saw their interaction.


    He nodded and said, “I didn’t expect you two to be so close.


    Well, our cooperation will surely be smoother because of this.


    I’m sure we’ll im the top spot in Beach City when both of our families form an alliance!”
