Chapter 11 Coveting His Body

  • "You never cease to amaze me, Kaiser," Sylvia said, looking at Kaiser with a strange expression after dismissing the thugs. "You know curses, alchemy, and even martial arts. What skill will you show me next time? Sorcery? Or perhaps little wings on your back?"
  • Feeling a bit uneasy under her gaze, Kaiser changed the subject. "Sylvia, aren't you curious about the motives of those people just now?"
  • "Of course, I am," Sylvia replied. "I'm curious why someone as gentlemanly as you would have any connection with those people."
  • She knows. Kaiser sighed inwardly. Considering the Valerio family's connections and wealth, it would be madness for Morris to try kidnapping Sylvia.
  • The thugs' target was Kaiser all along, and Sylvia got involved because of him.
  • Seeing her beaten-up car, Kaiser apologized to Sylvia, "I'm sorry. Those people should be sent by my ex-wife's brother to teach me a lesson."
  • "No need to apologize," Sylvia smiled. "You're the Valerio family's savior. Besides, I'm unharmed, and being protected by someone feels rather reassuring."
  • At this point, Sylvia suddenly chuckled and continued, "Today has truly been an eye-opener for me. Kaiser, since you're so skilled, could you be my bodyguard for a few days? After all, I'm just a woman who needs a sense of security."
  • After finishing her words, Sylvia gazed at Kaiser expectantly.
  • Kaiser couldn't imagine any man refusing Sylvia's request.
  • Kaiser wasn't sure what this woman was up to, but considering the trouble he had caused her, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree, "Okay!"
  • "That's wonderful!" Sylvia exclaimed. "There's a party tonight, and you'll be my escort."
  • Before Kaiser could respond, Sylvia drove away.
  • Kaiser watched as Sylvia's car disappeared into the distance. He remained silent for a long time.
  • Embarrassingly enough, he felt as if Sylvia was coveting his body.
  • Dusk fell at Valerio Castle, located on a low hill not far from Valerio Villa.
  • In ancient times, this castle served as an easily defensible military fortress. However, in the modern era dominated by firearms, it had lost its military significance.
  • The Valerio family transformed it into a venue for hosting various events.
  • At this moment, a silver business sedan slowly stopped at the castle's entrance.
  • The door opened, revealing a pair of black high-heeled shoes stepping out.
  • Following were slender legs that reflected a soft glow under the neon lights.
  • Everyone nearby was quickly captivated by these legs, eagerly anticipating the appearance of their owner.
  • The owner did not keep them waiting long, elegantly descending from the car.
  • "Goodness, how can there be such a beautiful woman?" someone exclaimed.
  • "Truly one of God's most outstanding creations!" another person mumbled in awe.
  • "I know her. She's the CEO of Delgard Corporation, the favored one of Lady Luck, Elvira. I never expected her to be even more beautiful in person!"
  • Soon, news of Elvira's arrival spread throughout the square.
  • Tonight, Elvira wore an expensive light blue evening gown with delicate makeup, presenting a beautiful face that exuded nobility and elegance.
  • The open back of the gown added an indescribable allure.
  • Pure and tempting, she seemed like Eve who had just tasted the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
  • "Is this Valerio Castle? It's my first time here!" Elvira's assistant, Evelyn, exclaimed as she stepped out of the car.
  • Elvira didn't reply. As a billionaire CEO, she was naturally familiar with Valerio Castle.
  • Suddenly, someone rushed over from a distance. "Elvira, you're here!"
  • Elvira and Evelyn turned to look. It was Carlos, Elvira's suitor.
  • Elvira furrowed her brow, appearing somewhat surprised.
  • "Carlos? You're here too?" Behind Elvira, Evelyn greeted him and laughed. "Your timing is perfect, now Elvira has a male companion!"
  • "That's great. I don't have a female companion either!" Carlos exclaimed with joy.
  • Upon hearing this, Elvira opened her mouth to protest but ultimately didn't say anything.
  • Tonight's party didn't require bringing a partner, but having one could help Elvira avoid some troublesome situations, like unfamiliar people approaching her or toasting.
  • These were tasks Kaiser used to handle, but since their divorce, Kaiser could no longer appear on such occasions.
  • As the three were about to enter the castle, a commotion erupted in the crowd.
  • "Look, another goddess! This woman is even more beautiful than Elvira!"
  • Hearing this, Elvira seemed displeased. She looked toward the source of the commotion only to be suddenly taken aback.
  • She saw an unexpected person.
  • "Kaiser? What's he doing here?"
