"When you break through to become a Martial King."
The words echoed in his mind like a great bell.
Elias Lennox's grip on Dawn Miles's shoulder tightened, and the look in his eyes grew much deeper. "I've waited for you for more than a decade. The wait is finally over…"
Dawn Miles grew increasingly suspicious. She felt that something was off about Elias Lennox.
He suddenly ducked his head, his handsome face drawing closer.
Dawn's heart clenched. She shoved him away with all her might and fled in a panic.
"I'm going to do the dishes, Brother."
Elias Lennox's gaze followed her retreating figure, his amber pupils constricting for a moment.
Like a cheetah that had just spotted its prey, filled with raw anticipation.
Once outside, Dawn Miles let out a sharp sigh of relief.
As she gazed out at the ocean, a blurry face once again surfaced in her mind.
