Chapter 607: Chapter 606: What on earth do you want to do? _1

With a subtle wave of King’s hand, Luo Qi approached him.

Selena was pushed roughly aside, a sight that left everyone slightly confused.

If King was trying to gain favor with the Leo Family, why was he so rude to the old master’s granddaughter?

But if he wasn’t seeking their favor, then why did he come at all?

Under the gaze of everyone’s puzzled eyes, King held out the sword that he had been carrying.

His deep, still eyes were fixed on Yan Ling.

Even though his eyes were not black and his features were different, the feeling of being stared at by him was eerily similar to her beloved’s. Why was her little heart beating so furiously?

Wasn’t this the reaction she only had upon seeing Qi Yunjue?

Had her heart moved on from him before she could?

If she wasn’t under public scrutiny, Yan Ling would have liked to cover her face and calm herself down.

She had a boyfriend after all!

Moreover, this man might be the one who had kidnapped Qi Yunjue. Until she figured out what had happened, she had to stay alert and treat him as an enemy.

After reestablishing her stance, Yan Ling lightly said, "Sir, what do you mean by this? I am no expert in appraising treasures. You need to ask someone else."

Smart people in the room began to speculate.

In Sicily, there were only a handful of people who could talk to King so calmly.

Could this person really be just a common manservant who sold his body?

"He’s a dead man!" Aliya scoffed coldly.

The last person who rejected a gift from King now rested six feet under.

But the bloody scene everyone expected didn’t occur. Instead, something more strange happened.

"There’s an old saying in China: a hero deserves a good sword. I admire your courage, Wesley. Consider this a gift for our first meeting," said King.

That call to Wesley made Yan Ling’s heart pound with fear.

How did he know her name?

Had he been investigating her?

Or had he figured out her identity?

No, it wasn’t possible. Yuan Bao was a master at forging identities; there was no way he made a mistake.

If the Dark Empire really knew who she was, they wouldn’t be so calm talking to her. He must be bluffing!

But King’s compliment to Yan Ling sent shockwaves through every guest at the party.

They were all clear about the kind of person King was.

If he favored and admired someone, that person couldn’t possibly be as simple as Selena’s manservant.

Could it be that the Leo Family had secretly joined the Dark Empire?

The crowd was full of conjectures, and some were worrying whether they had offended Wesley or the Leo Family and how they should apologize.

Others thought about how to ingratiate themselves with him to foster better relations. After all, having ties with Wesley would mean having ties with King, right?

"This gift is too expensive; I cannot accept it," Yan Ling said.

She believed in the saying: gratuitous gifts often hide ulterior motives.

Considering this man had repeatedly given her gifts, he probably had a bigger scheme in mind.

King’s aura dropped sharply.

Faint-hearted people drew in a breath of cold air.

If the man didn’t know the situation before when he was offered the gift, his refusal now showed an outright rejection.

There were very few people who dared to reject a gift from King these days, especially when he had rejected it twice.

How could he disrespect King in such a way? Wasn’t he asking for trouble?

Selena was worried Wesley would get into trouble and tried to defuse the situation but was held back by Old Master Leo.
