At this moment.
Wu Yuexin and Lin Mo, who came to Chicago City together, drove to a high-end villa area.
"Xinhe lives inside here." Wu Yuexin stopped the car, opened the door, and said.
The night wind was a bit cold. Wu Yuexin was dressed rather thinly and hugged her arms for warmth. Lin Mo transferred a bit of Spiritual Energy, and suddenly Wu Yuexin no longer felt cold; instead, she felt a bit warm.
Lin Mo glanced around casually.
This high-end villa area was built in the center of Chicago, where every inch of land is worth gold. Even an ordinary villa here would probably cost tens of millions of US dollars.
"Xinhe, I've arrived." Wu Yuexin and Lin Mo stood at the door of a villa and made a phone call.
A moment later, the villa's door opened, and Su Xinhe appeared in front of the two, dressed in casual clothes.
"Little Yue... Zhe..."
Su Xinhe widened her clear eyes; the young man beside Wu Yuexin was indeed Lin Mo.
Upon entering the villa, the decoration was relatively simple yet exuded the classical charm of Huaxia.
"What would you like to drink, coffee or tea?" Su Xinhe asked, wearing slippers.
"I'll have coffee."
"Tea."
Wu Yuexin and Lin Mo spoke at the same time.
Su Xinhe quickly served coffee and a cup of green tea with a faint white fog rising.
"Why did you come suddenly?" Su Xinhe sat on the sofa, looking at Lin Mo, and asked.
"Xinhe, I asked Lin Mo to come. He can help you." Wu Yuexin said with her clear eyes suddenly wide open.
"Help me?"
A wry and bitter smile tugged at the corners of Su Xinhe's mouth.
Lin Mo put down the green tea in his hand, stood up, and said, "Xinhe, let's talk in the back garden."
Su Xinhe looked into Lin Mo's eyes, which were as deep and dark as stars, without emotion, as if they were a deep sea with no end in sight.
Su Xinhe was momentarily stunned, nodded, and smilingly said, "Little Yue, you can watch TV by yourself. I'll chat with him and be back soon."
"You guys chat, don't mind me." Wu Yuexin smiled with eyes that curved like crescent moons.
The two walked side by side towards the back garden, reminiscent of their childhood, when they used to walk side by side on the asphalt path connected to the school's wall after school, under the setting sun.
The garden was shaded by trees, with the cool moonlight sprinkling over it.
"Lin Mo, are you here to see me make a fool of myself?" Su Xinhe asked coldly, her eyes fixed straight on Lin Mo.
"I'm here to help you. Do you really want to marry the young master of the Morgan family?"
Lin Mo's sword-like eyebrows knitted together; his expression was indifferent. Su Xinhe took a deep breath, her proud chest rising and falling with her breath, and then she took a few steps forward, her voice clear as a spring, puzzled, "You're here to help me? I hurt you before; don't you hate me?"
In the garden.
The night was silent and the wind cool. "What happened in the past is over. Now, I just want to know if you are willing to marry into the Morgan family. If you are, I won't interfere in this matter. If not... at least we are friends, and I can help you." Lin Mo said indifferently, but his tone carried a cold menace of death.
Su Xinhe turned her head, her cold eyes examining Lin Mo up and down, smiling, "What can you use to help me, just because you can fight? Because you have some special abilities? This is the modern world, and I am well aware of the strengths of the Morgan and Billy families. They have quite a few people like you. Can you help me?"
"The Morgan and Billy families are nothing to me. Just say the word, and I can make them disappear." Lin Mo said calmly.
As if what he said were as simple as crushing two ants.
"You are still as boastful as ever, aren't you?" Su Xinhe said angrily.
"I'm just telling the truth; I can help you."
Lin Mo said calmly. "Alright, I don't want to marry the eldest young master of the Morgan family. What will you do to help me, kill him? The Morgan and Billy families won't spare you easily. They also have Superpower users and top assassins. I'm no longer the naive girl I was a few years ago." Su Xinhe's emotions were somewhat agitated, tears shimmering in her eyes.
A few years ago, the strength Lin Mo showed indeed shocked and surprised her—a Martial Arts Master, with a wave of his hand, all flowers bloomed simultaneously. But over the years, her perspective has changed. Even the bodyguard sent by Master Billy, Miss Gloria, possesses some special methods and abilities.
Compared to them, Lin Mo seemed too ordinary, and the Morgan and Billy families were too powerful.
Even if Lin Mo possessed some Martial Arts and Superpowers, he was still just one person, forever unable to contend against two strong and ancient families.
"There are empty rooms in the villa, pick one to sleep in yourself, I'm going back to my room."
Su Xinhe bit her thin lip, gave him a glance, brushed past him, and walked towards the villa.
"The Morgan family? No matter what, I should put an end to all this." Lin Mo frowned slightly, letting out a faint sigh. Back in her room, Su Xinhe could no longer control her emotions, tears streaming from her eyes, rolling down her pristine cheeks. She stood by the window, with the white embroidered curtains fluttering in the wind, her gaze fixed on the man standing in the back garden, carrying an indescribably complex expression.
...
In the most prosperous and luxurious Queen Club in Chicago.
In a luxurious private room, blond, blue-eyed women in revealing clothes sat on the room's sofa; a young man in a black casual suit was enjoying himself with a cigar in hand.
"Young master, Han Xuan wants to meet you at the club." A bodyguard with an earpiece entered from outside the room, leaning in to speak in the young man's ear.
"Hmm, who's Han Xuan?" The young man exhaled a puff of smoke, frowning.
"He's a junior from the Han family; naturally, young master doesn't know him." The bodyguard replied respectfully.
This young man was the next heir of the Morgan family, his full name Harvey Morgan, the Crown Prince of absolute power in Chicago. Even the young master of the Billy family paled in comparison to him.
"Except for the head of the Han family, do any other Han members have the qualification to meet me?" Young Master Morgan sneered.
"Then I'll send him away immediately." The bodyguard said.
"Wait, this guy dared to come looking for me himself. I want to know why he's here, let him in." Young Master Morgan laughed.
"Yes, young master."
The bodyguard said, stepping back two paces, then turned and left the room.
Soon, the bodyguard returned, bringing with him an Asian young man, whose face showed a look of reverence and held a very low posture.
In front of outsiders, Han Xuan was a second-generation rich kid with a family fortune exceeding billions, but in front of Young Master Morgan, even a single strand of hair from him could crush him.
"Young Master Morgan." Han Xuan said respectfully, keeping his head down.
"You wanted to see me?" Young Master Morgan didn't even deign to look at him, "If it's not something important, I'll break one of your legs."
Han Xuan's face suddenly turned pale. He knew long ago about the violent nature of Young Master Morgan, and hurriedly said, "It's about Miss Su Xinhe."
