“We have here Mr. Peter Frost, $400,000 dollars.”

“Mr. John Musk, $800,000 dollars.”

Mr. Jason continued announcing the names. Lyra shifted uneasily in her seat, feeling like she was drowning.

“Hey,” John said, catching her attention.

“What’s wrong? Are you expecting someone?” he asked, searching her eyes.

A bead of sweat formed on Lyra’s forehead. She sighed. “I don’t think we can win this today,” she said, her voice filled with hopelessness.

It was the exact moment John had been waiting for—when he’d become her only option. He smiled brightly.

“Huh?”

Lyra was taken aback. Why would he be smiling at a moment like this? She had always trusted John as a friend and had never thought of him any other way.

“What’s with the laughing?” she asked, her expression growing serious.

John took a deep breath, then looked into her eyes.

“Do you trust me?” he asked calmly.

Huh? What’s wrong with him? she thought.

“Yes, why are you asking that kind of question right now?”

“Give me your hand,” he sa

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 187

    Back at the Black house. It’s already six a.m. in the morning. The head of security in the lobby sat on his chair, his hand gliding around the edge of the table in front of him. And his mouth countless times hissed away as he kept on waiting, as if for his plans to come true. “But sir, isn’t this the right time to let Mr. Don know about this situation already? I mean, he should’ve been the first person to know immediately, but still yet he has no clue about his family that’s suddenly gone and his daughter that’s been kidnapped.” The guard, who he had invited to join him in his office—since he saw him as one of his favorites among the rest—spoke cautiously. “We could have at least done something, since we know it’s just one man who’s involved in all this. And we just let the person escape just like that…” he said, totally dumbfounded by the story his boss here was telling. If not that somehow they had chosen him as leader, he really would’ve cursed him, thinking of how he

  • The Underestimated Ex    Chapter 186

    With the man’s tall figure and his appearance, he didn’t really look youthful, but he couldn’t be said to be old either.And what the man had failed to understand was that Steve was on a higher level. Their powers didn’t work the same.He failed to know this crucial part about the Kareth power he wielded.In Avalley’s kingdom, he was considered one of the youngest and special because he was stronger than the rest. At least he thought so. But he never thought of going to the elderly ones to humbly ask them for guidance.Although he had inherited the power and unlocked it with basic training, he failed to know that a higher-level person like Steve could see energy flows surrounding him, even with his eyes closed.But for him, all he could see when he closed his eyes was darkness. And when he wanted to focus, he just told his head to shut up.He never really understood the real technique behind this power or how it worked. Afte

  • The Underestimated Ex    Chapter 185

    Looking at the man now, How does he know how to awaken the Kareth power? Steve thought as he looked closely, as if trying to observe something.And in the man who wielded this power, he felt like he was indeed surprising Steve, who seemed to concentrate on him.But for Seralyth, she was quite amazed, and at the same time, an angry look formed on her face. This was one technique she had always wanted to awaken but was never close to controlling. Most people who wielded this were usually older because it took decades to learn, master, and use it.But it’s not exceptional for young ones who could learn to awaken it more quickly in their early age. What surprised Seralyth was that this man didn’t look old at all. She could say the same, remembering that Adrian had simply made the breakthrough at a younger age, but the same couldn’t be said for her.Back home, while they were kids, her teacher would say her body was still too weak, and w

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 184

    The lady that he’d asked to attack Seralyth wore a black gown that reached her knees, with flower trims at the bottom. Her black face almost looked like it refused the brightness around her. In her hand, a bow could be seen, and arrows rested at her back. And just when she heard the words of her boss, she pulled down the bow. A smile crept on her face. The kind that seemed wild, as if her teeth widened with her mouth that stretched almost to her ears. Seralyth was stunned at the view in front of her. “What the hell?” she muttered. Her face tightened—not in surprise, but in excitement. She was eager to face something that seemed far stronger than the humans around this place. She could already tell the figure was quite strong, just from a glance. Meanwhile, the man prepared to hit Steve after cracking his fingers and rolling his neck t

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 183

    In an opulent, well-designed room, all the furniture was white, matching the walls and the wardrobe that stood in the corner. An almost silent beeping sound could be heard, and just as it started, Steve woke from his light sleep. He hadn’t really been asleep that deep anyway, as he had been meditating internally. “Master, I hope all is okay with you,” he muttered once he opened his eyes. It wasn’t that he was worried about Adrian’s safety, but the beeping meant someone was tracking Adrian. Right now, his tracker had redirected the pursuer toward him instead of Adrian. He quickly rose from his bed and moved quietly to the parlor. And just as he had anticipated, an attack came from his left—an arrow heading straight for his head. Thankfully, Steve’s hearing was sharp. Without even looking at the direction, he caught the arrow with his left hand. “Hmm. Looks like we’ve go

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 182

    The lead guard’s face drenched in hectic sweat as his heart’s frantic beats could be heard loudly. “Just who is this bastard?” the guard muttered. He could feel ache in every single breath he took as if his death was imminent, and as every second passed he felt it drawing closer. He just couldn’t imagine how imminent his death would be. But even at this point he knew better than to just give up yet. He still had the lucky chance that the women in the lobby section seemed to be ignorant about the whole situation — because if they were aware, they wouldn’t hesitate to have reported to Mr. Don in an instant. Although the lead guard knew that he would be blamed for not contacting the boss immediately this situation came to his notice, he also knew that doing so would only fasten his death anyway. He was sure there was no way he was getting out of this situation alive, not even if he performed a miracle
