After leaving the Principal’s office, Yvette didn’t go back to the physics ssroom but went straight to the nearby arcade.


    When Eagle King arrived, Yvette was there ying a basketball game with some kids and enjoying herself. It was rare to see her act so yful and childlike, so he didn’t disturb her.


    Eagle King was dressed in a floral tank top today, and his tattoo of an azure dragon across his arms was fully exposed outside. People passing by didn’t dare to look at him for long.


    up the deepest


    Standing at the entrance, he took out a cigarette and lit it. Wisps of white smoke gently rose, stirring up memories buried in his heart.


    In a daze, his mind drifted back to that rainy night seven years ag


    Back then, he had just finished a mission but was ambushed due to his carelessness. He was gravely injured and fled into a narrow alley using hisst strength.


    By that point, he was too weak to move and could only wait for death. In their line of work, life and death had long since been unimportant.


    But then, in a half-conscious state, he heard a cold, piercing voice. “Do you need help?”


    His strong will to survive forced him to use hisst breath to reply. “Yes” Then, he slipped into a deepa. When he woke up, he was already in Yvette’s apartment.


    What happened next!


    “What are you thinking about?” Yvette turned around, holding some candy she’d won from the kids, and noticed Eagle King standing at the entrance, looking distant and lost in thought.


    Thetter stubbed out his cigarette and smiled mischievously. “Boss, you might want to look behind.”


    Yvette nced back in the direction Eagle King pointed. Those kids she had just yed basketball with seemed about to cry


    at any moment


    ‘Come on, it’s just some candy, right?’ she thought.


    Juggling the candy in her hand, she sighed and walked back to return it to the kids. However, she kept one pink piece for herself.


    Eagle King saw her sneaking move but decided not to say anything to avoid getting into trouble.


    Suddenly, his expression turned serious, and his tone became formal. “Boss, people in Mysonna have been asking around about you. Word is it’s from the Goodman family. When did you cross them? Braydon Goodman is infamous. If he’s after you, it won’t be easy to shake him off.”


    Yvette kicked a pebble at her feet, her voice calm and unconcerned. “Don’t worry about it He can’t reach me here. Let him make a fuss on his own.”


    Eagle King chuckled wryly. “What’s it like having a boss who fears nothing? he wondered.


    The Goodman family from Mysonna… Just hearing their names made people shudder. For decades, they had dominated the underground gangs in MysonnaText property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Braydon, especially, became notorious at a young age.


    He was known for being ruthless, with a reputation for killing without a trace. His subordinates were unmatched, with no


    one daring to oppose them in Mysonna


    Eagle King turned worried on Yvette’s behalf.


    “All right, let’s head back to school,” Yvette said, the irritation in her heart mostly dissipated. The hostility in her eyes also disappeared, reced by a carefree look.


    Eagle King looked at her with a pitiful expression. “Boss, seriously? You called me over, but before I even getfortable, you’re telling me to leave? That’s so unfairl


    Yvette’s profile was sharp and alluring, radiating undeniable sharpness and arrogance, but her voice was soft as shemented, “You got a problem with that?”


    Eagle King trembled inwardly. “No problem at all. By the way, are you really not taking that 100 million dor deal?”


    Yvette waved her hand dismissively, leaving behind only lier lean figure. Under the fading light of sunset, she appeared even more frail. “Nope,” she answered.


    After Yvette left, Eagle King headed back to the bar.


    Not far away, Winona quickly ducked aside, pretending to look at something, when she saw Eagle King turn back. Little did she know, thetter had already spotted her.


    “Ha! Where’d this straye from, thinking she could spy on us he muttered to himself.


    Winona had stumbled upon Yvette by chance.


    She was originally nning to visit the Carter residence. Reba, for some unknown reason, had insisted shee over for dinner. Normally, Winona would’ve been thrilled, but now, she had new goals and ideas, and she wasn’t as interested in Victor anymore as well. She was only going to the Carter residence out of obligation.


    When she passed by the arcade, she saw Yvette ying games with a group of kids, and she stopped. A few minutest shi saw a man with an intimidating tattoo, wearing a tank top and blue flip-flops, strike up a conversation with Yvette.


    Winona quietly used her phone and snapped a picture of the two of them looking quite close.


    She was ecstatic. With the photo, she was confident that the distinguished man in the auditorium wouldn’t want to be with Yvette.


    After watching Yvette part ways with Eagle King, Winona gathered her courage and started tailing thetter.


    Eagle King, however, deliberately led her in circles. Wearing high heels, Winona had blistered feet from walking. She didn’t dare to cry in pain and could only force herself to keep up.


    Eagle King stopped at a newsstand and bought a newspaper. He glimpsed at Winona’s disheveled appearance from the mirror above the stand.


    He smirked with a wicked gleam in his eyes. He had already recognized her as Winona


    After two hours of wandering, Eagle King finally returned to Night Bar.


    Winona watched him go inside but didn’t dare follow. The bar wasn’t open yet, hence entering now might raise suspicion. She already knew where the guy hanging around Yvette worked, so she wasn’t worried about missing her chance. Victor had sent her over ten messages, asking where she was and urging her to hurry, but she ignored them all. Finding a quiet spot, she took a picture of her swollen, bleeding ankle and sent it to Victor along with her location.


    Victor rushed over as soon as he got Winona’s message, and he found her looking disheveled in a café. to her and asked what had happened.


    e quickly went up


    With teary eyes and a vulnerable expression, Winona exined 1-1 identally got hit by a cyclist and twisted my ankle, which is why I couldn’t make it to your ce. I’m sorry”


    Victor couldn’t care about the dinner anymore. He called for his driver and rushed Winona to the hospital.


    Meanwhile, Reba was waiting at home, Seeing nobody return, she tried calling Victor, but he didn’t pick up. Her call came in just as Victor went out to get medicine for Winona, so he missed it.


    Winona nced at the phone and saw it was Reba calling. She stared at it for a long time but made no move to answer.


    At Argol University’s cafeteria, Yvette ordered a ribs tter and was quietly enjoying it by herself. A few people nearby recognized her but only dared whisper among themselves.


    Bonnie had been searching all over the school for Yvette. Finally she thought of checking out the cafeteria. To her relief, she found her there. Yvette’s eyes were lowered, her long and thick eyshes hiding her gaze.


    “Yve. I finally found you!” Bonnie eximed while wiping off the sweat on her face. She was panting from the running and grabbed the bottled water on the table and chugged it.


    Yvette slowly picked up a piece of rib and murmured, “Not scared of me anymore?”


    Bonnie scratched her head, a little embarrassed, but her tone was now firm. “Yve, I’m not scared of you.”


    Werte took a bite of the rib and nodded approvingly. It’s tasty, she thought.


    “Have a seat,” she said.


    Bonnie knew it meant that Yvette had forgiven her. She happily sat down and animatedly began recounting the day’s events in physics ss,


    “Yve, guess what? We’ve got a new teacher in the physics department. Guess who it is?” she said.
