There are rumors that a socialite, during a party, attempted to spill red wine on Kyle Kinston, hoping to use it as an excuse to get close. However, the wine didn't end up on Kyle, and instead, she was so frightened by him that she seemed to have lost her soul, leading to the collapse of her entire family. Another rumor says a gangster once offended Kyle and barely managed to escape Falling City, only for Kyle to dispatch ships and helicopters, forcing the gangster's boat to a standstill in international waters.
No matter which rumor it is, it is evident that Kyle Kinston is not someone to be easily offended. If you do, your life is essentially over.
The reporter was almost completely collapsing to the ground, wishing desperately that he could turn back time so he wouldn't have asked such a damned question.
In the car, Kyle Kinston leaned back in the rear seat with his eyes closed, his right hand pressed over his heart, fingers tightly clenched, faint blue veins surfacing on the back of his hand. His left hand hung at his side, also in a fist as if deliberately suppressing something.
After a while, his hand slowly relaxed, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he opened those deep, dark phoenix eyes.
The body... was in pain again. Although this bout of pain didn't last long, it was a sign, telling him that the full moon was approaching. Every full moon night, his body would be in unbearable pain. This was the Kinston Family's Blood Curse. In every generation, there was always one who inherited the curse. No one knows when or where it originated, but the number of Kinston members who died from it kept increasing.
This pain cut to the bone, seeped into the blood, and the only antidote was to find one's '命依' (life dependency).
Every Kinston member who inherited the Blood Curse has someone in the world who is their life dependency. However, no one knows what their life dependency might be like, and can only search aimlessly in the vast sea of people. It might be an old person, a child, a man, or a woman...
Only by finding the life dependency and being touched by it can the pain be relieved. Yet, life dependency is extremely hard to find. Many Kinston members, because they couldn't find theirs, succumbed to despair and committed suicide after years of enduring the pain.
'命依', life dependency... just name, destined to be a lifeline for the Kinston Family.
When he met Mabel Quinn, it was precisely when the precursory pain occurred. Compared to full moon nights, precursory signs manifest in the days leading up to the full moon, occurring occasionally, with less severe pain and a shorter duration.
Even amidst the pain then, his body felt it, his heart pounding strangely, the pain easing as she touched him.
The feeling in his body told him that she was his life dependency! The one he had been searching for, encountering her in such a circumstance was unexpected.
He took her back to the temporary residence, forcing her to sign a contract. Since she was his life dependency, he decided to bind her to his side.
At this moment, Kyle Kinston's phoenix eyes looked through the car window towards the hanging moon in the sky.
Tomorrow will be the full moon...
Meanwhile, in the dormitory, after watching the news broadcast, Mabel Quinn couldn't help but ask, "Have many people in the history of the Kinston Family really died young?"
