Chapter 6 Inspecting the Goods

• The bodyguard's right hand, which had just been holding the gun, was completely covered in blood, with only two fingers left out of five and the rest blown off!
• The handgun had exploded!
• The next second, Lucas rushed over like a whirlwind, knocking the man unconscious with a single kick.
• "What an annoying scream!"
• Lucas said with a look of disgust as he dug in his ear, then turned to the still-stunned Celine and said, "I left him alive. It's time for you to handle it."
• As long as his cheap wife didn't die in front of him, he couldn't be bothered with the rest.
• Celine took a deep breath and gave Lucas a long, meaningful look.
• Even though she was a business goddess, known for her strong and commanding presence, with nerves of steel, everything that had happened in such a short span had left her deeply shaken.
• After calming herself down, she took out her phone and called her father.
• On the phone, Willy was extremely anxious when he heard his daughter had been attacked. After confirming that she was unharmed, he immediately said he'd send people over to handle the scene and the aftermath.
• After hanging up, Celine tried to get into the car. However, as soon as she lifted her foot, she lost her balance and nearly collapsed.
• Everything that had just happened, especially having a gun pointed at her head, had clearly taken a toll on her nerves.
• At that moment, a faint scent of tobacco wafted over, and before she knew it, Celine felt her feet leave the ground—she had been scooped up into someone's arms.
• "Hehe! Sweetheart, got so scared your legs went soft, huh?"
• With her soft, warm body in his arms, Lucas felt incredibly pleased, grinning mischievously as he teased her.
• It feels so good!
• Sweetheart?
• Hearing this term and looking at the face in front of her, Celine was so furious her chest rose and fell with indignation. The perfect curves were bouncing up and down!
• Just a moment ago, this guy had kept insisting he'd only known her for less than an hour, acting like he didn't care whether she lived or died!
• In an instant, he was calling her "Sweetheart"?
• A surge of anger and disgust welled up in Celine's heart, along with an inexplicable sense of grievance.
• "Get lost! Who's your sweetheart? You bastard!
• "Let me go!"
• Celine snapped sharply. Her fragrant scent lingering as her delicate hand flew directly toward Lucas's face!
• Slap!
• A crisp slap echoed in the air as Celine's palm connected squarely with Lucas' face.
• He paused for a moment, feeling a slight tingle on his cheek. It didn't hurt, but ...
• If word got out that the infamous Shadow Demon, who made the underworld tremble in fear, was slapped by a beautiful woman, it would definitely leave jaws dropping.
• "Sweetheart, since you're so eager to get physical with me, I won't hold back either!"
• Lucas carried Celine into the back seat. A mischievous smile creeping onto his face.
• The next second, his demon claws darted forward.
• "What are you doing?"
• Celine gasped in shock when she saw his move, trying to stop him.
• But Lucas' speed was unmatched—his demon claws had already landed on that proud curve!
• Rip!
• In an instant, the sound of tearing fabric filled the air as Lucas roughly yanked off a button from Celine's blouse!
• "You bastard! What are you doing?"
• Celine's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe how brazen this man was, daring to be so rough with her!
• Had she just escaped one predator, only to fall into the clutches of another?
• However, what this bastard did next caught her even more off guard.
• Lucas placed the torn-off button into Celine's hand, then jumped into the driver's seat without making any further moves on her.
• Celine glared at Lucas with eyes full of murderous intent, wanting nothing more than to strangle him on the spot.
• But when she lowered her gaze, she suddenly froze!
• In her palm, the button had been crushed, revealing a small red light blinking continuously.
• "You ... "
• Celine's heart was sent on a roller coaster by his actions. She stared at the button, with its blinking red light, wanting to say something but hesitating.
• In this day and age, who hasn't watched a few spy movies? Even if Celine wasn't an expert, she wasn't so naive that she didn't realize this button was some kind of tracking device.
• Pressing her lips together, she let out a soft huff, her tone filled with irritation as she asked, "So, when you got in the car and your eyes were wandering, you were checking this thing out?"
• "Wrong! Finding that was just a bonus. I was mainly inspecting the goods."
• Lucas grinned, completely oblivious to how he'd just missed a chance to earn even a shred of goodwill from the goddess. Instead, he kept sneaking glances at Celine through the rearview mirror.
• After the assassination attempt and the button incident, Celine now had a slightly disheveled look, which only added to her allure, making her even more captivating in Lucas' eyes.
• "You're absolutely a top-tier! I have no regrets. Hahaha!"
• Lucas muttered to himself, clicking his tongue in appreciation as he kept stealing glances at her.
• Inspecting the goods? Celine was confused for a moment, but then she immediately realized what he meant.
