Chapter 724: Chapter 457: Online Lovers Meet After Two Years—So Excited_3

A girl, out there fighting and killing, always makes people uneasy.

Even though—

Out there, anyone who has heard of Nora Scott’s reputation wouldn’t treat her as a "girl".

"Do you remember that time in Sandcastle City two years ago? It was just me, you, Uncle Master, and Boss Alex. We ran into a group of troublemakers, and Uncle Master didn’t even lift a finger; just touched the leader. A big, burly man dropped as if having a seizure, scaring them so much they didn’t dare fight back and ran off with their tails between their legs."

Benjamin laughed, "Later, they came to us after some exorcism rituals, realizing he wasn’t a sorceress. This gang was persistent, choosing to bother us while we were camping alone in the wilderness. About twenty people surrounded us. Honestly, I was a bit nervous, thinking if there was time to call the police. But then I took out my phone, and shit, no signal in that middle-of-nowhere place. So, what happened? Uncle Master boldly sits on a chair in the crowd, and no one dared to touch her."

"Every one of them was scared shitless by her."

Benjamin spread his hands and chuckled, "We were naive back then. Look at Boss Alex, who knew her the earliest. He brewed two cups of tea for us and led us aside to watch the show."

Perhaps sparked by Benjamin’s reminiscence, Humphrey Jennings found himself smiling, feeling a bit amused.

"Uncle Master is experienced. She started gambling with them, using two fingers, scaring the daylights out of me. I was thinking if I could cut your fingers instead, after all, out of all of us, your hands are the roughest—"

Saying this, Humphrey Jennings shot Benjamin a sinister look. Benjamin cleared his throat, stopping that line of thought.

Then the conversation shifted, "But she won. I thought, being a girl, she might be soft-hearted, especially since it involves two fingers. I figured she wouldn’t dare take them. But she didn’t even blink when she watched them get cut."

"At that moment, I was stunned, thinking she’s not just a girl but like a fierce female warrior."

"Oh, I asked her later if she was confident of winning. She said gambling is about a fifty-fifty chance. Having a guaranteed win wouldn’t be called gambling. I also asked, what if she lost, would she rely on her looks to cheat? Oh my god, she just casually stretched out two fingers and said ’A bet’s a bet, just two fingers, give them to him, it’s not like they can’t be reattached after they’re cut.’ Wow, scared the hell out of me..."

"Anyway, back then, I always thought no one could handle such a ferocious heavenly immortal. Boss Alex said it himself; he couldn’t do it. Whenever he saw Uncle Master, he just wanted to assist her, feeling completely overshadowed by her presence. You won’t do either; in front of her, you look so meek, eager to go along with her on everything. So I really don’t understand... how my heavenly immortal Uncle Master ended up falling for Pedro Langley, this pretty boy."

Benjamin shook his head, utterly baffled.

Humphrey Jennings stubbed out his cigarette, saying nothing.

—In fact, if Nora Scott had chosen Boss Alex, Humphrey Jennings could have understood, but choosing Pedro Langley... that’s truly incomprehensible. They just weren’t from the same world.

"She just likes my type."

Suddenly, a steady and confident voice came from the side.

Humphrey Jennings’s hand trembled.

Benjamin was startled and leaned towards Humphrey Jennings, almost huddling into his arms.

Humphrey Jennings pushed Benjamin away and gave him a warning look: coward.

Receiving the warning, Benjamin pursed his lips and stood straight.

Humphrey Jennings didn’t notice, his view blocked by Benjamin, who was engrossed in his storytelling, so neither of them noticed when Pedro Langley had been "openly" eavesdropping at the door.

"Do you have a habit of eavesdropping?" Benjamin taunted.

Pedro Langley casually glanced at them, not holding back his sharp tongue, "You two selectively blind. Wasn’t I standing obviously enough?"

Benjamin: "..." What’s with this guy, such a sharp tongue. Finally giving up pretending to be nice in front of us?! Not even afraid we might tattletale to Uncle Master about him!

"Tsk," Benjamin retorted, "You’ve got some nerve, saying she’s into your type... My Uncle Master’s got a picky mouth; she’d get bored eating the same dish for too long. Wait till she’s tired of you, let’s see how cocky you are then."

"Oh, really?" Pedro Langley countered smoothly, "She’s had the same dish for six years and still hasn’t gotten bored."

Humphrey Jennings + Benjamin: "..." This pretty boy is damn infuriating!

Benjamin pondered how to hit Pedro Langley precisely with a single line in retaliation. Before he could think of a way, he saw a head rest on Pedro Langley’s shoulder—

"Are the three of you chatting?"

Nora Scott came up behind Pedro Langley, naturally wrapping her arms around him, resting her chin on his shoulder, tilting her head. Her dark eyes were bright, and her gaze lacked any hint of menace.

Humphrey Jennings + Benjamin: "..." The two who had just been reminiscing about this heavenly immortal’s heroic deeds found it hard to accept her current approachable demeanor.

Can time bring back the fierce and ruthless heavenly immortal?

Night fell.

Miguel Smith parked his car and walked into a restaurant. As soon as he entered, he pulled out his phone, scanning the restaurant. Suddenly, the figure by the window caught his attention.

Nora Scott’s brother!

The young handsome lad sat on a chair, his long legs unable to stretch under the table, awkwardly placed. A bottle of water was beside him, a third drunk. He had his head down, playing on his phone. It was obvious he was solving Sudoku, tapping the boxes and numbers quickly as if he had a complete Sudoku chart in mind.

The youth had a unique slenderness of his age, but his few serene and aloof aura was even more striking, quite eye-catching, with several tables of young girls frequently glancing his way. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

After sending a message, Miguel Smith considered saying hello, so he headed towards Marcus Shaw.

Reaching the table, Miguel Smith placed his hand on the surface. As Marcus Shaw looked up, Miguel Smith gave him a smile, "What a coincidence, are you waiting for someone here?"

Marcus Shaw paused his gaze, scrutinized him for a moment, then remembered—one of the "Cheering Trio".

A while back, the popular domestic single-player game "Black Town" was developed by his team.

"Yeah."

Marcus Shaw nodded slightly.

He wasn’t familiar with this person, having only met once when discussing how to handle the golden cup, not even having exchanged WeChat.

Responding to Miguel Smith was purely out of respect for his sister.

At this moment, his phone vibrated with a new message—

[MS]: Are you there yet? I’m wearing a black T-shirt with a skull on it.

Marcus Shaw raised his eyes, seeing a large skull staring at him with two dark holes as eyes, painfully juvenile.

Marcus Shaw: "..."
