Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

With lightning speed, Lisa emerged and addressed Elspeth as ‘Miss Lynwood’ when she saw her.

Elspeth waved her hand dismissively. “Alright. You’re already Harper’s disciple, so there’s no need to

say those anymore. Let’s just stick to the rules for now. Elspeth will do it.”

Lisa nodded in agreement, not questioning the command as it was her duty to obey.

Elspeth flexed her wrist and pulled out a veil to cover her face, after which she led her men to the

intersection and lay in wait for their target.

It was a route the director frequently passed by. According to their research, he would buy roasted

chicken here every night and carry it home with a bottle of alcohol.

To be honest, it was the first time Elspeth held a bold operation. As the target walked toward her, she

flicked her left wrist, and her two black-clad men flew out like swords.

Soon enough, the director was bound and tossed into a narrow alleyway.

Being in such a situation that was new to him, he was terrified. Due to the fear of losing his life, he was

crying for mercy before anyone touched him. “I beg you. Please don’t kill me. I can give you money, no

matter how much you want, as long as you don’t kill me…”

She calmly approached and glared at the obese man on the ground. She frowned as she kicked his

chubby body. “I don’t want your life or your money. There’s only one thing I want.”

The director’s eyes widened in surprise. “Really? I’ll give you whatever you want!”

“I want a spot in your next movie.”

With these words, the director finally understood whom he was dealing with. In the next second, he

glared at her fiercely. “I thought it was one of my enemies who found me, but I never expected it to be

you, Elspeth. I admit you’re wealthy, but what use is money alone? I am well-connected, both in the

underworld and in legitimate businesses. If you lay a hand on me, I won’t spare you!”

Well-connected to both the underworld and the legitimate businesses… With a mischievous smile,

Elspeth quipped, “Come on. Tell me. Can your connections help you block this?”

And with that, she slapped the director with such force that it nearly knocked his neck crooked.

“Ah…” the director squealed like a pig. Looking at Elspeth’s face through her veil, he could see those

eyes that were as clear as water yet chilling as ice.

She was a formidable beauty indeed. The director’s sweat dripped down his neck, emanating a greasy

odor.

“Are you not giving in yet? Huh?”

“What kind of talent does it take for you and your whole crew to gang up on me?” he retorted, his neck

stiff with defiance. “I’ll get someone too. Why should you be the only one who gets to call the shots?”

Elspeth laughed and clapped her hands, slow and rhythmic. “Fine, call someone. I want to see whom

you’ll bring today.”

With a glance at Lisa, she made a subtle gesture and commanded nonchalantly, “Untie him and give

him his phone back.”

At these words, the director finally realized that his belongings had been stolen by Elspeth’s

accomplices without him noticing.

How fast were these people? The director couldn’t even imagine. He wiped his sweat, and when he

noticed Lisa leaning over, he discreetly scattered something onto her nose tip.

Before Lisa could even see what it was, it disappeared. She thought nothing of it, assuming it was

poison and popping an antidote pill.

With his trembling hands, he dialed a number. “Jaxon? Yes, it’s me. Can you come over now? I’m in a

bit of trouble; if I can’t solve it, I might not make it out alive. Yes, I’ll pay whatever you want, and

remember to bring your best men too…”

The director groveled and begged, using every ounce of flattery he could muster.

Jaxon… Why does that name sound so familiar? Elspeth searched her memory and suddenly realized

something, a sly smile playing at the corner of her lips.

After hanging up, the director felt his confidence surge. But time ticked by, and still, no one arrived.

“Are we done here?” Elspeth grew increasingly impatient. She had only come to secure a spot, and if

he weren’t willing, she’d have to resort to more extreme measures.

The director was starting to get anxious, his growing unease expanding like a balloon. “Maybe there’s

traffic on the road. Just give him a little more time, and he’ll show up.”

“Fine. I’ll wait one more minute. If he doesn’t come by then, I’ll just have to off you,” Elspeth threatened.

Of course, Elspeth had no intention of actually killing him. Her words were just meant to intimidate him,

but they had the desired effect. The director, a middle-aged man, was so frightened that he actually wet

himself. Disgusting. Elspeth furrowed her brow and took a few steps back.

Just as her patience wore thin, a cloud of dust appeared in the distance, and the director, who had lost

all light in his eyes, suddenly perked up.

“He’s here!”

Elspeth wasn’t all that surprised. Instead, she crossed her arms and waited for the group of people to

approach.

The leader was a skinny teenager with cropped hair and a sharp, almost predatory gaze, like a cheetah

waiting to pounce.

He glanced at Elspeth and seemed momentarily surprised before turning his attention to the director.

“You called me for this?” The teenager sounded so annoyed like the director had caused him a great

deal of trouble.

The director, taken aback, quickly explained, “This woman is threatening me. She doesn’t know that I’m

under your protection. Can you help me teach her a lesson?”

“Hmm?” Jaxon furrowed his brow and seemed hesitant to help him immediately.

The director writhed on the ground, especially agitated. “Jaxon, don’t worry; I’ll give it to you even if it’s

three million, so just name your price. Just help me teach this woman a lesson, and I’ll pay you tonight!”

Jaxon cleared his ears and grinned menacingly. “You honestly don’t know your own limits…”

“Yes, yes, that’s right! She doesn’t know her limits!”

The director looked at him with a gradually growing intent of malice in his eyes, his heart blooming with

joy. Yes, that’s it. Give her a slap and make her realize who’s in charge!

But before he could finish his thoughts, Jaxon turned around and kicked him hard in the leg.

“Ah! Jaxon, what are you doing?”

The director was caught off guard; he never expected that the person he had called in to help him deal

with Elspeth would not only not assist him but also kick him!

However, none of the people present were surprised, not even Elspeth or Lisa, who just watched

silently.

“Jaxon, did you hit the wrong person? It’s not me…”

Jaxon kicked him again, harder this time. The director was in so much pain that he couldn’t even

speak.

His bones were probably broken.

“No, I’m doing it right.” Jaxon squatted down, gripping the director’s chin tightly. “Do you know who

made me move against you?”

The director didn’t know; he could only cry out in pain.

“It was the founder of the Evil Wind Sect, the Great Elspeth! I’m not dumb enough to risk my life for

you.”

The Evil Wind Sect… The notorious assassin group? The director’s legs went weak, and he almost

fainted.
