Chapter 164
Simon Hernandez’s expression darkened when he heard Marina Bailey’s words, and he leaned forward, wanting to relive the previous experience.
However, Marina raised her hand to stop him.
Simon’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
“I have to go,” Marina said, her red lips parting slightly.
His expression turned somber. “Come back soon. I’ll be waiting for you at home.”
“Hmm,” Marina responded with a nod, then turned around and walked towards Brendon.
Upon seeing Marina’s return, Brendon immediately straightened his posture.
Brendon pretended as if he hadn’t seen anything, but how could he hide his little thoughts from Marina?
Especially since he kept glancing out of the corner of his eye.
“What are you looking at? Don’t you want to continue this mission? Do you want to go back and resume being the mayor?” Marina narrowed her eyes.
“Let’s go!” Brendon immediately restrained his emotions upon hearing her words.
They quickly drove away.
However, as they passed by Simon, Marina couldn’t help but steal a glance.
Hmm…
He truly deserved to be their captain, with such keen observation skills and high standards.
But…
“Captain, when it comes to choosing a man, it’s not just about looks. You should pick someone strong so they can protect you in the future,” Brendon said with an air of experience.
“Do you think I still need someone to protect me?” Marina casually played with the scarf on her wrist and asked nonchalantly.
Uh…
It seemed like she didn’t need it.
With their captain’s formidable strength, he could indeed protect everyone.
“When I say ‘strong,’ it’s not just about physical strength, but also in other aspects,” Brendon said in a relaxed tone.
“What other aspects?” Marina finally looked up and asked.
“For example… certain activities that require physical stamina in bed,” Brendon thought he was being subtle in his words.
However, Marina’s expression on her face made it clear that she wanted to throw him off a cliff.
“Can you be any more vulgar?!”
“How is that vulgar? You should know that a harmonious intimate life is the secret to maintaining a relationship.”
“You don’t know, whenever my spouse gets angry with me, all I have to do is throw her onto the bed, engage in some physical activity, and I guarantee she won’t be mad anymore,” Brendon proudly shared his experience.
Sat,
Marina was dumbfounded.
“That’s why I’m telling you, having a strong and powerful man is better. Some men may appear tall and muscular, but in reality, they can’t last more than three seconds in action. We shouldn’t settle for such men,” Brendon continued with his lewd remarks.
Marina was destitute of a response.
Marina suppressed the urge to kick him, but her mind involuntarily recalled the events of one year ago that night,
Although her memories of that night were unclear, she remembered that she hardly had any rest.
She had to leave the next morning, forcing herself to push through the exhaustion.
In retrospect, Simon was still somewhat good-looking and useful.
“Captain, what’s on your mind?” Brendon looked at Marina, who had a pensive expression, and called out.
“I’m wondering if it’s still possible to inform Matthew Dic kson to revoke your qualification for this mission,” Marina replied softly.
Brendon immediately shut his mouth.
He didn’t dare to say another word.
What he said was heartfelt.
Why could not their Captain listen?
Pretty women were not to be desired!
Three-second men were even more undesirable!
Oh well…
But their team captain was already so tough. He guessed that maybe Marina liked the soft and weak pretty boy type.
Hmm…
Brendon suddenly felt like a whole new world had opened up.
However, staying in Solemwood, he could never truly revive the Campbell family.
He used to believe that the Campbell family was an unattainable existence.
But after experiencing true power, his previous understanding seemed laughable.
In the face of absolute strength, he was simply fragile and vulnerable.
That’s why he wanted to go to Janeborough!
Only by establishing a firm foothold in Janeborough can he truly revitalize the Campbell family.
This would be his fresh start!
Gordon’s gaze burned as he looked at the bustling scenery outside the window.
The vehicle entered a mountainous area after approximately seven to eight hours of driving on Marina’s side.
This could be considered a no man’s land; very few people came.
There had been a few incidents involving travelers in the past, so there were even fewer adventurers around here now.
However, Brendon felt more and more excited as he looked around.
After all, this was his main battlefield!
As their vehicle entered this uninhabited area, they were already being observed.
It happened just as they were about to cross a specific sensitive boundary.
Several figures suddenly jumped down from the mountains and erected a roadblock in the middle of the road.
Brendon’s vehicle came to an immediate stop.
“Up ahead is a restricted area where dangerous beasts roam. You better turn around,” said the two individuals, their bodies darkened by the scorching sun but their eyes shining unusually bright.
Both Marina and Brendon looked slightly wary at their expressions.
Brendon immediately turned off the engine excitedly, unbuckled his seatbelt, and swiftly exited the vehicle.
When the two people on the opposite side saw his actions, they immediately assumed a defensive stance as if preparing for a confrontation.
