Chapter 763
On the road in Yeringham, Blake was still driving his decade-old Corolla,
following behind a Maserati.
“Haha, Magnus, seems like your plan has failed again, huh? You’re truly a
failure. You can’t even kill an enemy after so many attempts!”
At his teasing, Magnus’ lips curved into a faint smile. He held neither anger
nor dismay.
Yet, within his eyes, a glimmer of intrigue sparkled-a light hinting at
something more.
‘From my earliest days up until now, I have never encountered such a
enacious opponent. It’s rather interesting!”
Magnus pushed his glasses and grinned.
Haha, I’ve seen this scene play out in movies and novels. Usually, after the
ntagonist’s defeat by the protagonist, they utter such lines to salvage their
pride! Magnus, I’m starting to believe that you’re akin to an antagonist, and
your lifespan might not be all that long!”
“Enough of that. Focus on your driving. If you keep talking like this, we might
just see the end of our friendship!”
Magnus pretended to be slightly angry.
Blake continued to laugh heartily. It was a novel sight to witness Magnus in
this state. While not quite an expression of exasperation, the fact that
someone could get him to this point of frustration was rather amusing.
He was curious to meet Emmanuel and see what kind of character he was.
Meanwhile, inside the Maserati, Ryder tightly gripped the steering wheel, and
his palms were sweaty.
He hadn’t driven for so many years, and now he was driving a Maserati.
Moreover, the woman he liked was sitting in the passenger seat. How could
he not be nervous?
“Mr. Lowe, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot?”
Tia sensed that something was off and offered him a tissue to wipe his
sweat.
Unbeknownst to her, each wipe only seemed to produce more sweat.
“Are you feeling unwell? Let me turn on the air conditioning.”
Tia’s brows furrowed with concern. Given the early spring weather, the
temperature was nid. It was perplexing for Ryder to be dripping with sweat.
“Hehe, Ms. Franks, my dad gets hot whenever he’s around you!” Tommy’s
voice chimed in from the backseat.
“Hey, little brat, you’re always butting in. Get back in your seat!”
At Ryder’s suggestive comment, it was Tia’s turn to blush.

The security guards and greeters at the entrance hurriedly walked over with
welcoming smiles when they saw such a luxurious car.
When they saw Ta step out of the passenger seat and Tommy hop out from
the book, they immediately assumed that the Maserati passengers were
From a wealthy family.
Little did they expect that the person who walked out of the driver’s seat was
a weathered-skinned older man. At first glance, he could be mistaken for a
seasoned farmer.
Upon closer inspection, one might conjecture he was, at best, a retired
laborer.
This unexpected revelation prompted discreet murmurs among the
observers. “How can such a beautiful woman be with such an ugly man?”
“Surely, that man must be incredibly wealthy, right? Perhaps he razed his
hometown to construct an airport?”
