The private jet landed on the tarmac; Serena was still asleep, sleeping peacefully.
Lucas Laine’s gentle gaze fell on her; the fiery love hidden deep in his heart dared to reveal itself unrestrained only at this moment.
Watching the strands of hair scattered on her forehead, Lucas couldn’t help but lift his hand to gently brush them away. But before he could touch Serena, a large hand, with defined knuckles and as beautiful as a piece of art, intercepted his hand mid-air.
Damian Quinn’s expression was unfriendly; his captivating almond eyes narrowed to a dangerous arc, exerting more force as if he intended to break Lucas’s hand.
"What is the Vice Alliance Hierarch doing?"
Lucas forcefully shook off the man’s hand, not hiding his hostility towards him at all, "Just waking Serena, Master Damian, no need to make a fuss."
Damian’s eyes were dark and cold, showing no emotion, but the air pressure around him decreased, exuding a silent malice, sending chills down one’s spine.
"Serena is my fiancée, Vice Alliance Hierarch, you’d better watch your boundaries."
Upon hearing this, Lucas merely curled his lips, a provocative smile appearing on his handsome face as he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Serena and I grew up together; we’ve been through more intimate things than this."
Sure enough, as soon as these words dropped, the man’s breathtakingly handsome face instantly turned terrifyingly icy, his murderous intent evident.
On account of Serena, he had already tolerated Lucas repeatedly, but he continued to challenge him so recklessly!
Lucas snorted, "Do you know whose territory you’re standing on right now?"
Behind them, Helios and Finn almost simultaneously drew their guns, the dark barrels aimed at each other.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped to its lowest point, full of gunpowder tension.
The two rows of Hidden Guards standing not far away witnessed this tense scene, each involuntarily shrinking their necks, not daring to make any noise.
Serena furrowed her brows, slowly opening her eyes, evidently woken by the noise.
As soon as she awoke, the tense atmosphere between Damian and Lucas immediately dissipated.
"Serena, you’re awake?"
Serena, just waking up and not fully alert yet, instinctively nestled into Damian’s arms, nuzzling slightly.
Watching this scene, the Netherworld Syndicate’s Hidden Guards nearly had their eyes pop out.
Damn, this is still their mighty and awe-inspiring Alliance Hierarch!!!
When did their Hierarch ever act cute! Could this be the power of love!!! Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel⚑fire.net
But Lucas’s eyes darkened, his heart filled with intense bitterness.
Damian, amused by the young lady’s actions, curled his thin lips, letting out a low, raspy laugh.
"Baby, just woke up and already acting cute with brother, huh?"
The man’s voice, both alluring and thrilling, made Serena’s ears tingle, finally waking her entirely, and she pushed him away with burning ear tips.
After all, it wasn’t just the two of them. She couldn’t lose her dignity as the formidable Alliance Hierarch!
"I think I heard you talking about something?" Serena awkwardly changed the subject, sharply sensing something amiss, "Were you two fighting?"
For the first time, Damian and Lucas responded in such perfect unison.
Witnessing this, Helios and Finn were utterly bewildered.
Just moments ago, they were almost about to fight! Who would have thought their leader/vice leader’s acting skills were so impressive!
Serena cast a suspicious glance at them, clearly unbelieving.
"Of course." Damian’s defined hand gently caressing the girl’s waist, "Why would your brother lie to you?"
