Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 726, 727, 728, 729, and 730) 

Chapter 726

Before she could figure it out, she had just entered the bedroom when she bumped into Ken Swanson, who had changed his clothes and was about to come out.

She knocked her head on his silver brooch and felt a pain on her forehead.

“Hiss…” Melody Fox gasped.

Ken Swanson apologized from above. Before Melody Fox could say anything, Ken Swanson had already walked out sideways.

Her hand that was rubbing her head froze and she squatted on the spot.

The footsteps gradually faded away, as if the distance between the two of them had increased.

Melody Fox was stunned. After a while, he remembered to chase after her.

However, Ken Swanson’s figure had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

The emptiness in her heart was overwhelming, making her feel as if a heavy rock was pressing down on her heart.

Why not… chase him to the company and ask?

Melody Fox forcefully suppressed this thought.

Perhaps the relationship between her and Ken Swanson should have been like this in the first place, instead of being pure “sleeping friends” like a while ago.

Yes, that was good too…

This way, she wouldn’t have to struggle anymore, and she wouldn’t have to work hard to overcome her fear of love.

So be it…

Melody Fox returned to the bedroom in a daze. She unintentionally looked into the mirror and the first thing she saw was her own ugly and terrifying face.

Other than the first day of her rebirth, she had never looked at herself so seriously.

How ugly…

She reached out to touch her face and realized that there was a trace of blood on the spot where she had been hit by Ken Swanson.

Melody Fox pursed his lips and quickly treated the wound on her forehead expressionlessly.

The wound was not deep, but the alcohol still stung.

Her tears immediately flowed out from the pain.

“It hurts…”

She smiled and wiped her tears, laughing at herself for not being able to endure such a small injury.

But why were there more and more tears that could not be stopped?

When the maid saw that Melody Fox was crying, she was shocked.

“Young Madam, what’s wrong?”

Melody Fox tried his best to hold back his tears. She shook his head and said, “I’m fine. I knocked myself just now. The rubbing alcohol has a little stimulated my tear ducts. What’s the matter?”

The servant heaved a sigh of relief and walked forward with the medical box. “Young Master told me that you might be injured and asked me to bring the medicine up. It seems that you’ve already taken care of it. I wonder if you need any other medicine? There are many medicines to treat external injuries in the medical box.”

“No need.” Melody Fox shook her head and said, “It’s already taken care of. By the way, is Grandma up yet?”

“Not yet. Margaret can’t sleep until very late these days. We all want her to sleep a little longer.”

“Yes, let her sleep a little longer. I want to catch up on some sleep too.”

“Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. The first aid kit is here. You can use the medicine if you need it later.”

“Yeah.”

The servant quickly left. Melody Fox silently retracted his gaze and his mind became even more chaotic.

He noticed that he was injured and even called the servants to bring medicine up.

But why did he only say “sorry” lightly?

But Melody Fox stopped thinking about it.

She had already convinced herself that they were in their best state.

It didn’t make sense for her to reject him but still hang on to him.

She could not do such a thing.

This was quite good.

After Ulric Swanson’s matter was settled, they would go and settle the divorce procedures that were long overdue. Not long after, her phone rang.

It was the receptionist from the law firm she had contacted yesterday.

The other party went straight to the point. “Hello, Miss Fox. We’ve arranged for you to be the most proficient lawyer in divorce proceedings here. May I ask if the person who wants to settle the divorce is you?”

“It’s not me. It’s my friend.”

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to arrange for your friend to meet our lawyer so that we can discuss the details.”

“Alright, let’s book time and the address here.”

“Okay, no problem. I’ll confirm it with you via text message later.”

“Yeah.”

After the call ended, Melody Fox’s attention was finally diverted.

She opened her notebook and began to check the business plan that Ken Swanson had given her yesterday.

She still needed to add some more details.

Meanwhile, in the car heading to the Li Group’s headquarters.

Ken Swanson’s expression was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. It was so heavy that James Deeds did not even dare to breathe loudly. He could only breathe carefully and try his best not to make any sound.

Although he didn’t know what was wrong with the young master, with his many years of understanding of the young master, it was best for a situation like this to reduce his presence.

But just as they were waiting at the red light, Ken Swanson, who was in the back seat, suddenly said,” James Deeds, let me ask you a question.”

“Go ahead!”

“I have a friend, his wife…”

Ken Swanson paused for a moment. He was still thinking about how to phrase his words when he heard James Deeds blurt out, “What’s wrong with Miss Fox?”

Ken Swanson’s expression froze. His black eyes swept coldly towards James Deeds.

“It has nothing to do with Melody Fox! I’m not talking about her.”

However, James Deeds was a simpleton. He said, “Usually, people who start with ‘I have a friend’ will be talking about themselves. Young Master, you…

James Deeds glanced at the rearview mirror as he spoke.

When he saw Ken Swanson’s almost cannibalistic expression, he swallowed his words.

Damn it, what nonsense was he spouting to Young Master?!

“What do you think happened to your friend’s wife?” James Deeds asked anxiously.

“Nothing! Just drive!”

He must be crazy to ask James Deeds, who had been single for more than 20 years, about his relationship.

If only Sid Quant was here. He would definitely be able to analyze a thesis titled “Why does my wife want to divorce me?”

Ken Swanson closed his eyes and held his forehead with a headache.

Although he did not know what he had done wrong to make Melody Fox suddenly think of the divorce and have already taken action to find a lawyer.

But one thing was for sure: he didn’t want a divorce.

However, what he could do now seemed to be to not give Melody Fox a chance to speak. He had to think of a way to avoid her in case she asked for a divorce.

He had used city hall as a shield last time, but this shield could not be used forever.

What should I do…

Ken Swanson’s handsome face revealed a rare loss and helplessness.

Fortunately, the company arrived very quickly. His attention was diverted, and Ken Swanson devoted himself to his work.

The Melody Fox project had to be completely confirmed before Ulric Swanson came out. Otherwise, everything would easily change.

Ken Swanson had been busy with this project the entire morning. It was not until two in the afternoon that James Deeds came over with food that had been heated four times in the microwave. The project was finally confirmed. “Young Master, no matter how busy you are, eat some first.” James Deeds handed over the lunch box with a pained expression.

Fortunately, this time, Ken Swanson finally took it and threw a document to him.

“Go back to the manor and get Melody Fox to sign the document. Then send it back immediately.”

“Yes!”

James Deeds did not suspect anything. He carried the document and left quickly.

When he returned to the office, he brought back a piece of news.

♡

Chapter 727

“Young Master, Miss Fox signed.”

“Okay.” Ken Swanson did not even look up. After checking the documents, he pressed the internal line to call his secretary.

“Send the documents to the legal department and have them finalize the project before they get off work.”

“Yes.” The secretary did not dare to say anything else and turned to leave with the documents.

Today, everyone in the company could tell that Ken Swanson was in a bad mood. No one dared to say a word in front of him.

However, James Deeds was a rather slow person. He always forgot to observe people’s expressions and started talking nonsense.

“Margaret doesn’t seem to be in good spirits today. He didn’t eat much for lunch. Miss Fox plans to cook personally at night.”

Ken Swanson was buried in a pile of documents. He did not react, but he did not stop James Deeds from continuing to gossip.

“Oh, right.” James Deeds patted his head and said, “There’s a guest at home today. Miss Fox invited him.”

Ken Swanson stopped writing and looked at James Deeds. “What guest?”

“I don’t know him, but I saw the work pass of Feiyang Law Firm hanging around his neck. Why do you think Miss Fox is suddenly looking for a lawyer? Is it because of the Justalion Group shares?”

Ken Swanson’s face darkened.

“It’s not that.”

“And that is… ?”

Ken Swanson did not answer. He only ordered, “Find me the number of the boss of Feiyang Law Firm immediately.”

“Yes.” James Deeds was shocked. He did not dare to say anything else and quickly contacted the boss of Feiyang Law Firm.

Feiyang Law Firm was a relatively old law firm in Silverlake. It had a high success rate, especially when it came to handling divorce cases.

What made Ken Swanson know about this law firm was that there was once a rich man in their circle who cheated on his wife and wanted to leave with nothing.

It was Feiyang Law Firm that had helped the powerless woman obtain huge benefits alone. From then on, they became famous and left a memory in Ken Swanson’s mind.

Ken Swanson’s eyes became abnormally cold, like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg.

Even James Deeds, who was used to seeing Ken Swanson’s expression, was terrified.

“Young Master, I’ve contacted him…”

James Deeds nervously handed over the phone in the middle of the call.

“You go out first.”

“…Yes.”

James Deeds quickly ran out of the door as if he was afraid of being implicated.

He muttered in his heart. What was Miss Fox doing? How could she make the young master so angry? He had never seen the young master like this…

Also, weren’t they doing very well last night? Why did it suddenly become like this?

Damn, Melody Fox, she always liked to cause trouble for him!

However, James Deeds did not dare to complain about Melody Fox.

In the office, after Ken Swanson introduced himself, the boss of Feiyang Law Firm, Zhang Feiyang, was shocked. “L-Mr. Swanson? Why are you looking for our law firm?”

Zhang Feiyang knew that the Swanson Group had a very powerful lawyer. He could kill their entire law firm alone. Why would Ken Swanson entrust them?

If it wasn’t business, it must be personal.

Sure enough, in the next second, Ken Swanson said in a deep voice, “Did someone called Melody Fox entrust your lawyer’s lawyer to settle the divorce?”

Zhang Feiyang quickly checked the computer and quickly found the words “Melody Fox”.

“Yes, she contacted us last night.”

“Divorced?”

Zhang Feiyang looked at the note: Helping a friend with a divorce lawsuit.

He immediately replied, “Yes.”

Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes and said irrationally, “You’re not allowed to take her case. You know the consequences if you do.”

Zhang Feiyang shuddered.

Everyone knew that tycoons were tycoons. the Swanson family was the Swanson family. These were two different things.

He definitely did not want to offend Ken Swanson.

Therefore, Zhang Feiyang immediately replied, “Yes! Don’t worry, we won’t take any of her cases!”

With that, Zhang Feiyang said smartly, “I’ll also contact my other friends who run my law firm and guarantee that she won’t be able to find any decent law firm.”

Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows. “Your name is Zhang Feiyang, right?”

“…Yes.” Zhang Feiyang’s heart was pounding. He was afraid that he had made the wrong bet on Ken Swanson. In the next second, Ken Swanson said calmly, “You’re very good. I’ll remember you. No wonder Feiyang Law Firm can achieve what it has now. Director Zhang has a bright future. In the future, if our the Swanson Group lacks manpower, we’ll have to trouble Feiyang Law Firm to help us.”

This was a chance for cooperation!

Zhang Feiyang was so excited that he almost jumped three feet high.

He was about to thank him when Ken Swanson hung up.

However, this was enough for Zhang Feiyang to be happy for a long time.

He did not delay and immediately made arrangements. “No one is allowed to take on the Melody Fox case.”

After giving the order, he quickly contacted all the law firm bosses in the same industry.

Although they were enemies in the same industry, Feiyang Law Firm was very famous. Everyone still gave Zhang Feiyang this bit of face.

At the same time, Ken Swanson, who was on the other end of the line, heaved a long sigh of relief, but felt even heavier.

He knew that what he was doing was selfish, but he could not control himself.

When he thought about how Melody Fox might be labeled as someone else in the future and be called Madam by the man’s surname, he had the urge to destroy the entire world. He had never been able to shake Melody Fox’s heart. It was fine, but when Melody Fox’s heart was given to someone else, he would bear the pain and let go.

However, he was not ready to let go yet.

Or rather, he had not started preparing at all.

******

Meanwhile…

In the Swanson family manor.

The meeting place with the lawyer was finally set here because Dorrene Downey happened to bring the child over to thank her.

Hence, after discussing with the lawyer, she decided to meet her at the manor.

However, just as they were almost done discussing the details, the lawyer came back from the toilet and said apologetically, “Miss Fox, Miss Jia. I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t take on this case.”

Dorrene Downey was stunned, and his smile froze on his face.

“Is, is it about the price? I can give you double the price.” “That’s right.” Melody Fox also said, “The price is not a problem. You can name the price.”

“No.” The other party shook his head and said, “My old mother suddenly fell seriously ill. I have to take leave to go back and take care of her.”

“I see… Then there’s no other way.” Dorrene Downey nodded in understanding. He turned to Melody Fox and said, “Then let’s find someone else?”

Melody Fox nodded and felt that something was amiss.

However, in the conversation just now, the other party was not the kind of person who would raise the price on the spot or have ulterior motives, so it should be true.

Since the collaboration failed, Melody Fox did not insist. She contacted the receptionist at Feiyang Law Firm and asked her to find another reliable lawyer.

However, the receptionist refused directly. “I’m really sorry, Miss Fox. All the other lawyers in our law firm have cases, so…”

“So there’s no one?”

“I’m sorry. But when the others have free time, I can contact you.”

Chapter 728

When Melody Fox heard this, he paused for a moment and deliberately said, “No need. I’m in a hurry here. I’ll contact another law firm.”

Divorce cases were the least troublesome and hard cases for lawyers.

Less effort, more returns.

Law firms loved to take on such cases.

Generally speaking, no matter how busy the other party was, when they heard that they were going to lose a job, they would definitely rush to help her cut the queue.

However, the receptionist seemed to heave a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, you can ask the other law firms first. I won’t delay your time for now. Goodbye.”

With that, the other party hung up without waiting for her reply.

The feeling that something was wrong welled up in his heart again.

After a moment of silence, she called another law firm she had learned about before.

However, after chatting for a while, the other party started to laugh and say that they could not send anyone.

There must be a reason for this abnormality. After repeating this three times, Melody Fox was already certain that someone was secretly causing trouble and preventing them from getting a good lawyer.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to find three law firms in a row, and none of them were willing to take their orders.

Dorrene Downey, who was beside her, didn’t feel anything. Seeing her put away her phone, he quickly asked, “Miss Fox, what did the people from the law firm say? Are they arranging for other lawyers to come over now, or are we going to meet tomorrow?”

Melody Fox shook his head and said truthfully, “They don’t seem too willing to accept our orders.”

“Huh? Why?” Just as Dorrene Downey asked, she suddenly thought of that bastard Robert Downey.

She suddenly widened her eyes and asked in horror, “Don’t tell me Robert Downey did something?”

Melody Fox’s first reaction was also Robert Downey.

However, Robert Downey was sentenced to five days of detention. Today was only the second day. He had yet to come out. How could he extend his hand to a huge law firm like Feiyang Law Firm?

However, other than Robert Downey, she could not think of another person who wanted to stop Dorrene Downey from getting a divorce.

Liam Scott and Dan Maxwell’s corpses had turned to dust, so it was even more impossible for them to interfere.

Therefore, after thinking about it, it could only be Robert Downey.

She asked Dorrene Downey hesitantly, “How’s Robert Downey’s family background? Is there someone more powerful in his family? If it’s really someone from Robert Downey who caused this, this person should be Silverlake or someone living in Silverlake.”

Dorrene Downey thought about it carefully and shook his head. “No. Robert Downey families are poor and their families are in the mountains. It was because of this that I was unhappy with my parents.”

“That’s strange… He has no money or power. Where did he get the ability to make Silverlake’s big law firm not accept our orders?”

Dorrene Downey suddenly slapped his head and said, “I remember now!”

“Yes?”

“When he went out to gamble previously, he met someone from an underground organization. That person was Silverlake people.”

“That’s right. It’s not easy for big law firms to be bribed with money. Only powerful forces or underworld forces can make them not dare to take orders. What’s the name of that underground organization? Where is it located?”

“Wait a minute, let me look at the chat history… When FoxRobert Downey showed off his brother to me on the phone.”

“Okay.”

Melody Fox waited patiently. When he looked up, she realized that Cindy Downey was gone.

In Special Phase Fox, everyone was eyeing her covetously, especially Jennie Taylor who hated her to the core. It was hard to guarantee that she would not take the opportunity to attack the people around her.

“Where’s the child?” She immediately asked the servant with a serious expression.

The servant did not know why she had such a big reaction, so she quickly replied, “Miss Cindy just went to the garden to play and happened to bump into Mrs. Margaret. Now, Mrs. Margaret is taking her around the manor.”

Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief, but she still instructed Spencer to take care of Cindy Downey.

It was better to be safe than sorry. It was not a bad thing to be cautious.

Fox, Dorrene Downey finally found the chat history.

“I found it. This underground organization is called the LTTE. His brother is called Ba Hu, and he’s the boss of this organization. However, I don’t know where it is exactly.” “The boss of the organization?” Melody Fox raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised that trash like Robert Downey could get to know a sect boss.

However, through the search on the black market, she quickly understood the reason.

This so-called underground organization was actually a gang of hooligans, so there were less than 20 people in total.

The LTTE’s base was located next to a pier. It could not be Cindy, this child’s life was really bitter.

However, with her as her godmother, her future would definitely be filled with light.

Melody Fox turned around and walked back. He heard Mrs. Margaret praising Cindy non-stop. Her eyes were full of energy and were no longer as dull as in the morning.

Seeing her return, Margaret immediately asked, “Melody, when can allow an old woman like me to have a great- grandson?”

Melody Fox stopped in her tracks and said awkwardly, “We don’t have such plans for now.”

“What do you mean you don’t have such plans? You should give birth earlier while you’re still young! The risks are greater when you’re old. I’m doing this for your own good.”

Melody Fox could not respond. He could only say, “We’ll try our best…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Can you tell me if you can get pregnant this year?”

“This… It’s really hard to say.” Melody Fox took out his scientific theory and said, “This kind of thing can’t be done just by hard work. It depends on luck.”

Margaret Swanson frowned and said, “Then the two of you are too unlucky! You’ve been married for almost half a year, but your stomach hasn’t moved at all…”

As Margaret spoke, he was afraid that she would misunderstand. He quickly added, “I’m not saying that there s something wrong with you. I’m not worried about you at all. You’re a doctor yourself. You’ve long discovered your problem. I’m just afraid that Ken’s problem…”

Chapter 729

As Margaret spoke, he pulled her over and asked in a low voice, “Brother Ken has been busying himself in the company. In that aspect… did he perform well?”

Melody Fox instantly blushed. “Grandma!”

Margaret covered her mouth and laughed.

“Don’t be shy. I’m already an experienced person at my age. What else can’t you tell me? Answer me honestly!”

“He…” Melody Fox could not help but think of Ken Swanson carrying a towel.

However, she quickly scolded herself for thinking too much.

No matter if it worked or not, it had nothing to do with her. It was impossible for them.

Melody Fox could only lie through his teeth. “There’s nothing wrong with him. I’m sure.”‘

When Margaret heard this answer, She heaved a sigh of relief.

“At first, I didn’t think much of it either, but when I saw Cindy, I wanted to hug my great-grandson’s heart… Melody, Grandma doesn’t expect you to get a baby boy in one go. To me, boy or girl are the same. On the contrary, daughters are more considerate. You just have to give birth to one for me. Gender doesn’t matter.”

“…I’ll try my best,” she replied and quickly changed the topic. “Grandma, I have something to do at my clinic. I have to go over and try to come back early to cook for you.” Margaret Swanson was still a little unsatisfied with the topic of his great-grandson.

However, the matters of the medical center were usually related to life and death. She could not drag Melody Fox any further. She only said, “Then come back early after you’ re done. When you come back, I’ll share something good with you!”

Margaret deliberately emphasized the words “good stuff”. Melody Fox did not sound like a decent thing.

She smiled dryly and nodded. Then, she fled with Spencer.

“Miss Fox, where are you going? Qingle Pier.”

“Yes.”

Melody Fox asked as he fastened his seat belt, “What do you know about Qingle Pier?”

Spencer stepped on the accelerator and replied, “Qingle Pier is very close to our black market. He’s not famous for the pier itself, but it’s no longer used. However, there are many gambling places nearby, and there are several underground organizations. Ordinary people won’t go there. The people who go there are either gambling addicts or drunkards. The rest are from gangs.”

“Then do you know there’s an underground organization there called the LTTE?”

Spencer recalled carefully, then shook his head and said, “I don’ t remember anything. It should be either an inconspicuous small organization or it was recently established. The ones I know are usually relatively large organizations. But that group of people is under the jurisdiction of our black market.”

“What? Qingle Pier is under the jurisdiction of our black market?”

“Yes. The Silverlake gangs are divided by the Hujiang River. The west side belongs to our black market management, and the east side belongs to the people from the black market. Of course, there are also some free gangs that don’t touch either side.”

Melody Fox nodded.

The gangs on the west side belonged to Ulric Swanson. She knew this, but she didn’t know about the existence of the black market before, so she naturally didn’t know who the east side belonged to.

She thought that the gangs on the east side were all the free gangs that Spencer had mentioned.

“Does that mean that if I want to find the boss of the LTTE, I just have to tell Aaron Berg?”

“Yes.” Spencer scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Miss Fox. Only Mr. Deeds and Aaron can help you.”

“What’s the big deal? We’re just doing our jobs,” Melody Fox comforted Spencer Then, she said, “Then don’t go to Qing Le Pier. Go straight to the black market.”

“Do you need me to tell Aaron in advance?”

“No need. Doesn’t he have something very important to do? We can just go and see him.”

“Yes.”

Spencer was very familiar with the way back to the black market. He took a shortcut and drove straight to the black market.

Melody Fox felt a rare sense of relief.

With Aaron Berg around, it was indeed easier for her. At the very least, she did not need to fight her way into the LTTE with her bare hands.

Although the organization was small, it was very tiring to make a move. It was better not to make a move if one could talk.

As they took a shortcut, the car soon arrived near the black market.

Unlike the last time she went to Melody Fox, she took a special passage this time, which was the path taken by the people inside the black market. She did not need to enter through the secret entrance anymore and took the elevator directly to the interior of the black market management area.

The management area was different from the stall area outside the black market. This was more like an office level.

People with different responsibilities had their own exclusive areas.

When she came out of the elevator, the first thing she saw was the information gathering area.

It was filled with computers and documents. Those who didn’t know better would think that this was some company’s data room.

After the information gathering area was the training area. All black market assassins would train, train, and accept missions here.

Spencer brought her into the training area.

After Melody Fox entered, she realized that this place was a completely different world. It occupied a huge area.

Without Spencer leading the way, she would have to spend at least time to find Aaron Berg’s office.

Spencer led her down a long corridor and finally stopped in front of a room with a black door.

However, when the door opened, there was no one inside.

Fortunately, Death Warrior happened to pass by. Spencer quickly stopped the person and asked, “Where is Aaron?”

That person did not know Melody Fox. When he saw that it was Spencer, he first greeted him respectfully before replying,” Aaron is drinking in the lounge.”

“Drink?” Spencer’s expression changed.

Before he could speak, Melody Fox was the first to ask, Aaron Berg, Isn’t he very busy today? Why is he still free to drink?”

That person said doubtfully, “Busy? The black market isn’t busy today.”

Melody Fox narrowed his eyes. “When did he start drinking?” “Well…”

Just as the person was hesitating whether to answer, Spencer ordered in a deep voice, “Answer.”

“Yes! Aaron has been drinking for quite some time… The black market is very empty today, so a few senior brothers discussed to relax. Coincidentally, Aaron came back, so they brought Aaron along.”

“Heh-“

Melody Fox was amused.

In other words, Aaron Berg had anxiously applied for leave to return to the black market not to return to work, but to drink.

Judging from death warrior’s tone, they had not discussed this beforehand.

Coming back to work was just an excuse to slack off.

She was not a strict boss. It did not matter if her

subordinates relaxed for a while, but she could not tolerate

Aaron Berg being so passive and lying to her.

Spencer waved death warrior away and turned to look at Melody Fox awkwardly.

“Miss Fox…”

“Take me to him!”

“Yes.”

Spencer did not suspect anything and led the way. Fox,Melody Fox finally arrived at the recreation area.

This was a paradise on earth. There was a beautiful swimming pool, champagne, and wine. There was even a DJ playing moving music.

Melody Fox immediately saw Aaron Berg lying on the big bed in the pool.

Chapter 730

The water bed was very big, enough for more than ten people to lie on.

There were hot women lying on both sides of Aaron Berg. One was holding a glass of champagne for him, and the other was peeling oranges for him.

Seeing this scene, Spencer was scared out of his wits. His intuition told him that Aaron was dead meat.

He looked at Melody Fox timidly, but he saw that Melody Fox was not as angry as when he first found out that Aaron Berg was drinking.

Instead, she walked calmly toward the pool.

A death warrior immediately wanted to step forward to question his identity, but he was stopped by Spencer’s glare. Others might not know how deep Miss Fox’s relationship with Sir was, but how could he not know?

If these people dared to stop Miss Fox, it was no different from stopping Sir himself.

Melody Fox glanced around and saw that there was a rope on the water bed. The other end of the rope was tied to the handrail of the steps on the shore.

She bent down and pulled the rope.

Unexpectedly, the woman with the champagne spilled it all on Aaron Berg’s face.

Aaron Berg suddenly opened his eyes and glared at the woman coldly.

The woman’s heart trembled. She quickly pointed at Melody Fox and said, “No, it’s not me. It’s that woman who suddenly pulled the rope…”

Only then did Aaron Berg realize that the water bed was being pulled towards the shore.

He looked at Melody Fox with killing intent. The next second, he saw Melody Fox’s face. He quickly sat up from the water bed.

Before he could say anything, the woman with the champagne beside him had already started cursing.

“Where did this ugly monster come from?! Are you all just decorations? How dare you let her ruin Aaron’s mood? Hurry up and kick her out!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman was kicked off the bed by Aaron Berg.

“Ah-” The woman cried out in surprise and took a few gulps of water.

She wasn’t stupid. She finally realized that the ugly monster she was talking about might be extraordinary.

As expected, Aaron Berg’s eyes were filled with unprecedented panic.

Ignoring the fact that he was only wearing large shorts, he jumped into the water and swam to the shore.

In less than three seconds, he appeared in front of Melody Fox.

“Miss Fox…”

Melody Fox looked indifferently at Aaron Berg who appeared in front of her. Her eyes were neither happy nor angry. She said calmly, “Are you done with your work?”

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Aaron Berg’s face. “Sorry, Miss Fox…”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and met Aaron Berg’s gaze. “Apologize for what?”

Aaron Berg clenched his fists.

“I shouldn’t have lied to you and run back to the black market to rest.”

“If you’re sorry about that, forget it.”

Melody Fox’s gaze swept across the rest area and said, “I think you need to apologize even more for the culture you brought out. To be honest, I can’t tell that this is a black market at all. Those who don’t know would think that this is the backyard of some rich young master’s pool. I’ve heard a lot about you guys from James Deeds, but I’ve never heard that you guys have set up such a… paradise below.” Aaron Berg narrowed his eyes and retorted, “Miss Fox, you’ re wrong. death warrior is also a human. Fox is working hard outside. Can’t we have a leisure area to relax and relax when we come back?”

“Heh.” Melody Fox laughed when he heard that. He pointed at the group of hot women and said, “Then may I ask who those people are to you, death warrior? You can let anyone enter the management area of the Black Market at will?”

Spencer had said that only one of the death warrior was female, and that was Nyla Berg.

It was obvious that this group of women was not death warrior. Judging from their coquettish appearances, it was impossible for them to be the management staff of the black market.

Aaron Berg gritted his teeth. He knew that he had no way to explain himself, so he could only lower his head and apologize. “I’m sorry. This won’t happen again.”

Although he apologized, Aaron Berg was still very unconvinced.

Sir knew about the rest area that he had set up, but he had yet to say anything. What right did this empty shelf have to interfere?

“I’ll give you time to clean this today. Remove this so-called rest area and deal with these women. If they leak anything related to the black market, I think you know the consequences.”

“Yes.” Aaron Berg lowered his head even more, but the displeasure in his eyes also became stronger.

The expression in his eyes was covered by his forehead and hair, but this did not mean that Melody Fox could not sense his displeasure.

She raised her chin slightly and was about to speak when she suddenly sensed a murderous intent.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of the killing intent and saw a dart flying towards her quickly.

“Miss Fox! Be careful!”

Spencer, who was standing in the distance, was about to rush over.

Melody Fox was about to make a move when Aaron Berg suddenly took a few steps forward and caught the dart in the air.

All the death warrior players on the scene instantly went on high alert.

A figure slowly walked out of the other entrance of the rest area.

In Room Fox, the death warrior soldiers carrying guns immediately aimed their guns at the black shadow.

However, in the next moment, Aaron Berg suddenly said, ” Put down your guns!”

Everyone was puzzled, but they still put down their hands.

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes and quickly understood why Aaron Berg gave such an order.

That figure was none other than Aaron Berg’s biological sister, Nyla Berg.

She was dressed in black tights and had a few darts and a pistol on her belt.

“Nyla Berg?”

Melody Fox frowned and asked, “Why is it you? What do you want?”

“Miss Fox, there must be some misunderstanding…” Aaron Berg quickly explained for Nyla Berg. Then, he took a few steps forward and said, “Nyla Berg, quickly apologize to Miss Fox!”

Nyla Berg said coldly, “Brother, I must kill her today! You can choose between her and me. If you don’t want me to die in her hands again, let me kill her with my own hands!”

Aaron Berg and Melody Fox were puzzled.

Melody Fox was the first to ask, “Nyla Berg, did you misunderstand something? Did I kill you once?”

If Nyla Berg was one of Ulric Swanson’s people, she would not have shown mercy to Nyla Berg just now when she threw the dart at her. She would not have retaliated directly.

However, the other party was from Ken Swanson. She did not want to draw her sword against her own people.

It was better to explain the misunderstanding clearly.

“After I told you to choose whether to stay or leave, I never saw you again. How could I kill you?”

Aaron Berg also asked, “Yes, Nyla, who did you hear this nonsense from? And didn’t Sir send you on a long-distance international mission? Why are you on the black market?” Nyla Berg narrowed his eyes. He knew that this was the excuse James Deeds had thought of for her.

She did not want to drag Aaron Berg down with her and was prepared to act alone.

However, today, she hid her identity and entered the black market to buy an assassination weapon. She accidentally discovered that Melody Fox was also here.

How could she let go of such a good opportunity to assassinate him?

“I’m not on a long-distance international mission…”

She succinctly explained how Ken Swanson had given the order to kill her and how James Deeds had been soft-hearted enough to let her go.

Then, she looked at Aaron Berg and said, “Brother, these are all the people you brought out. They won’t betray you. If you kill her for me, Sir will definitely not know.”
