Zoe punched Ian in the chest, then spun around and disappeared into the night.
Ian shook his head, and with a flicker, returned to his villa in Central City International.
The villa was home to his beautiful bodyguards, Lena Leng and Sierra Leng. After Ian was nearly assassinated by Lee Family experts, Edward Zhao sent these twin sisters—both boosted to Innate Sixth Layer—to protect him.
But their cultivation had been forcibly raised, so it would be hard for them to improve further.
He’d been back in the main world for two days.
He felt that the negative emotions inside him had faded a lot in this peaceful life.
He didn’t plan to cultivate. After eighty or ninety years in the fantasy world, he just wanted to rest in the main world. Cultivation could wait for the next crossing.
He slept until morning, changed into loose clothes, and went down to the lawn.
He practiced a set of boxing forms to loosen up.
Then he went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
By the time breakfast was ready it was already eight-thirty, but Sierra and Lena Leng still hadn’t gotten up.
It wasn’t until Ian finished breakfast that Lena finally came downstairs. Seeing him on the sofa, she froze, then asked, "Young Master, when did you get back?"
Last night—I got back late, so I didn’t wake you. There’s breakfast in the kitchen," Ian smiled.
Thank you, Young Master.
Lena blushed. She and her sister had gotten far too comfortable lately. Knowing their cultivation wouldn’t improve much, they’d slacked off—and since Ian didn’t need their protection, their vigilance had dropped. Otherwise, with their skills, they’d have noticed Ian’s return even without him hiding it.
I have to head out for a bit, but let’s have dinner together tonight," Ian added.
Of course, Young Master. Take care!' Lena said, bowing.
Once Ian left, Lena rushed to Sierra’s room, knocked to wake her, and told her Ian was back.
So he’s back, whatever,' Sierra replied indifferently.
But he came back last night—and he made us breakfast!' Lena insisted, looking serious.
That’s pretty nice,' Sierra said after a pause.
Don’t forget who we are!
Suddenly Lena’s expression turned cold. "We’ve been trained by the Zhao Family since childhood, sent to protect the Young Master. But now he doesn’t need us, and he’s just paying us a high salary."
What are you trying to say?' Sierra asked, starting to understand Lena’s point.
Lena continued, "He came back last night and made us breakfast, but we didn’t notice at all. Why? Because we’ve lost our vigilance. Ian’s kind, but would he really keep paying two useless bodyguards? If he sends us back to the Zhao Family, what do you think will happen to us?"
The Zhao Family didn’t train us for comfort—they expect us to be useful. If we can’t deliver, they might…
Sierra’s face suddenly paled at Lena’s analysis. "He wouldn’t do that, would he?"
Why wouldn’t he?' Lena retorted.
So what should we do?' Sierra’s expression was now anxious and uneasy.
Young Master said he wants to have dinner with us tonight. Let’s do our best to please him.' Lena sighed. 'I hope he won’t send us back—otherwise, things will get ugly for us.'
Ian sighed softly, looked Zoe Zhao in the face, and said, "I have a girlfriend."
"I know," Zoe replied, biting her lip.
"And not just one," Ian added.
Zoe was stunned, then grew angry. "If it’s not one, then how many?"
Better a long pain than a short one, so Ian said, "Eight."
"What?!"
When Zoe heard Ian actually had eight girlfriends, she forgot to be angry—her mouth dropped open in disbelief.
After a long moment, Zoe finally asked uncertainly, "You really have eight girlfriends?"
"Absolutely," Ian nodded seriously.
"You bastard!"
Zoe punched Ian in the chest, then spun around and disappeared into the night.
