Chapter 2 I'm Sorry, I Came Late

• "I'm the Great Dragon Doctor. Since you've cultivated the 'Great Dragon Nirvana Scripture' thirty-six thousand times, your cultivation has reached completion. Thus, I will bestow upon you the Dragon Doctor's Legacy…"
• When Cole woke up, he found himself lying amidst ruins.
• His surroundings had been burned beyond recognition, yet he was completely intact.
• He could move his originally crippled limbs, and his skin was not scalded.
• Also, since he had completed his cultivation of the 'Great Dragon Nirvana Scripture,' he could feel Qi surging inside him.
• "Ezra Goodwin, how dare you mistreat Anna! I'll kill you!"
• As Cole clenched his fists, a strong aura spread in all directions, freezing the surrounding ruins into thick walls of ice.
• …
• The lights were on at the Goodwin Club as its goers moved about.
• Anna wore a tightly fitted short dress with deep cleavage and black stockings.
• She would lower her head in shame whenever she saw others casting her strange looks.
• "After you head inside, you better be more sensible. Do whatever they say, understand?" Ezra exhorted.
• "Ezra, I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to earn money like this!"
• "F*ck you! You're almost half naked, yet you're still playing innocent!"
• Slap!
• Ezra grabbed Anna by her hair and swung his palm. The slap was so forceful that Anna fell to the ground.
• She covered her cheeks while her eyes were brimming with tears, but she forced the tears back.
• Squatting beside Anna, Ezra threatened, "You'd better behave, or else you'll be needing to hold a funeral for Cole Stuart!"
• "Please, don't harm Cole. I'll do anything you say!"
• When Anna heard that he was going to hurt Cole, she immediately begged him.
• "If you don't want him to die, you'd better cooperate. Once you're inside, learn to please the customers. Don't just stand there like a pillar. Understand?"
• "Y-Yes!"
• Tears began streaming down Anna's eyes.
• Creek!
• With Anna in tow, Ezra pushed the door open and entered the private room named "Supreme No. 1."
• Once inside, he smiled apologetically. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Irwin. Here she is!"
• Anna slowly raised her head, but she froze when she saw who the customer was.
• Jax Irwin! How could it be him?
• Jax was one of the many admirers Anna had back then.
• Later, Anna got engaged to Cole, and Jax went abroad to establish his business.
• It was said that over the years, Jax had developed his business into a large enterprise and was now the owner of three listed companies.
• "Long time no see, Anna!"
• Jax held a wine glass while looking at Anna with a wicked smile.
• Anna looked down and greeted weakly, "Mr. Irwin."
• "Mr. Irwin, Anna has always admired you. She begged me to bring her here after finding out that you were coming." Ezra smirked.
• Meanwhile, Jax gulped when he saw Anna's seductive figure.
• "Anna, I used to pursue you, but you chose that trash over me. Have you regretted your decision?"
• "I…" While clenching her fists, Anna bit her lips.
• "Mr. Irwin is asking you a question." Ezra came forward and pushed her.
• With her head still lowered, Anna answered, "I…I don't regret anything."
• "The f*ck did you say?"
• Hearing that, Ezra was instantly angry and was about to teach Anna a lesson.
• "Stop!" At that moment, Jax spoke up and stopped Ezra.
• "It's been three years, Anna, but your personality hasn't changed. Heh!"
• Jax swirled the red wine in his glass while sneering.
• "Mr. Irwin, this b*tch needs to be taught a lesson. Please, do whatever you want with her in bed." Ezra bowed and flattered Jax.
• Chuckling, Jax replied, "That can wait."
• The puzzled Ezra wondered, What's going on?
• After chuckling, Jax put on a wicked expression as he poured the wine from his glass all over his leather shoe.
• Then, he pointed at Anna. "Lick it clean. Every last drop. And I'll let you go. Otherwise, you're dead."
• Seven to eight burly men in black clothing came in, obviously indicating that Jax was looking for some group fun tonight.
• "Oh, Anna, where else can you find such a good opportunity? Hurry up and lick Mr. Irwin's shoes!" Ezra urged her.
• "No. I don't want to!"
• With her hands balled into fists, Anna frantically shook her head while retreating.
• "You stupid c*nt! I'll show you!" Ezra rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit Anna, but Anna wasn't going to surrender that easily and bit Ezra's arm, making him bleed.
• "Ouch! My arm! She bit me!" The immense pain made Ezra run around in circles.
• Jax eyed the men in black, and one of them immediately threw Ezra out the door, leaving only Anna and Jax's gang in the room.
• While licking his lips, Jax slowly approached Anna.
• "It's been three years. Don't you know how much I long for your body?"
• "Stop! Don't you come over!"
• Anna covered her chest and backed into the corner with her back to a clear glass window.
• "Anna, stop resisting me. That trash has gone to meet his maker!" Jax guffawed.
• Anna's eyes widened as she asked, "What did you say?"
• Jax chuckled and took out his phone to show her a video.
• "After you left, I ordered my men to burn your rundown rental. Your piece of trash fiancé should have already died in the fire! Hahaha!"
• "No. That's impossible!"
• Anna looked at the surrounding buildings and saw that her home was indeed on fire. However, she still refused to believe what Jax said.
• During these three years, she had been working endless shifts and suffered all sorts of grievances just to save Cole.
• Everything was getting better, and she had almost saved enough money, but then she was told that Cole had been burned to death!
• She couldn't believe that this was real.
• At that instant, she broke down. Her body trembled violently as tears streamed down her cheeks.
• "Come, take off your clothes, and let me enjoy your service. Haha…"
• Jax approached her.
• "No. Never!"
• Anna was still clenching her fists while gnashing her teeth.
• When Jax was about to pounce at her, she slammed her head into the window, breaking it before jumping down.
• "Cole, we'll meet again in our next life."
• Meanwhile, Jax was dumbfounded as he wasn't expecting Anna to be so resolute and would rather jump to her death than sleep with him.
• Swoosh!
• Anna was falling at high speed.
• She seemed to have seen a figure charging toward her in her dazed state.
• Hey? That figure looks a lot like Cole! It seems like it's true when they say one would see their fondest memories before death.
• As Anna thought of that, she slowly closed her eyes, not willing to see herself being bathed in blood because she wanted to leave this world clean and meet Cole in the afterlife.
• However, just as she was about to reach the ground, a pair of strong arms tightly held onto her and pulled her into an embrace.
• Anna could feel a warm sensation and slowly opened her eyes. In front of her was the person she loved dearly.
• "Cole! Am I dead?"
• As soon as she said that, she fell unconscious.
• "Anna, I'm sorry that I came late!"
• Gently placing her somewhere safe, Cole then looked up at the club building. A roaring fire burst from his body when he saw Jax looking down by the window.
• "All of you deserve to die!"
