Chapter 190 Demons within Part 8

Luther had a weird look on his face. He lifted his arm and pushed the bracelet up all the way to his upper arm, snuggly fitting on his biceps.

Even then the damn thing felt a little bit uncomfortable.

His handsome face scrunched up slightly as he pulled the woman closer and whined, "My dearest wifey, aren't you going a bit overboard?"

Su Lin immediately turned around and angrily retorted, "Are you rejecting my wedding gifts?"

Game over. How else could the poor wife slave respond?

He hastily comforted her and coaxed her by hugging the woman tightly and whispering sweet nothings in her ears.

Su Lin almost broke out into laughter.

Without torturing him further, she explained the other useful features of her wedding gift.

"Each one of those trinkets can block several attacks from someone even twice as strong as me."

"They automatically get activated and form a defensive barrier around you, almost like your aura."

Luther couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Protective treasures?? They were invaluable items that every cultivator would drool over!

He was literally wearing billions of dollars on his body!!! This has to be the most expensive wedding gift in the history of marriage.

And the woman in front of him had churned out such heaven-defying treasures in the span of a few measly hours!!

He didn't even know what to think of anymore.

Su Lin chuckled at the man's startled expression and tiptoed closer to suck on his alluring slightly parted thin lips.

With her adorable hunk encased in so many protective talismans, she didn't have to worry anymore about sneak attacks and felt very relaxed.

Leaving behind the awestruck man, Su Lin then happily skipped away to get ready for the day.

Their production unit had already started turning in profits and now that they were in Hongkong city for a couple more days, it was a perfect opportunity to start another outlet store.

The husband and wife pair lazily spent the rest of their day strolling around the city's malls and unexpectedly even found a good space they could potentially use.

Su Lin called her assistant Ah Min and informed her about it.

The woman who was already restless without being by her boss's side, happily took down the details and immediately started working on it.

When Ah Min started at this company, she mainly wanted to gain experience working with a start-up unit, but her boss and the other capable leaders of the company had completely blown her mind.

Their company was growing at such an insane pace, that she could hardly even understand or compare it to anything else that existed.

Ah Min just wanted to greedily learn and guzzle down everything she could from her cool and awesome boss!

She first called the property manager listed for the specific space.

They talked for about an hour negotiating the various terms, including contract period, monthly rent, and so on.

When everything was satisfactory, and Ah Min received a verbal confirmation from them, she immediately called the finance department and notified them about the new incoming expenditure.

She then called the production unit and smoothly coordinated the production and distribution details with Runyan and her assistant.

After about three to four hours of working out the details, Ah Min finally sighed in relief. Everything had gone smoothly and the job was done.

But just as she reached her office, the property manager called her again.

"Sorry, Miss Min. I am unable to lease this space currently. I will definitely keep you updated if our situation changes. Thanks for understanding."

Beep.

The man had already hung up on her!

Ah Min was confused. What the hell just happened?? Something definitely seemed very fishy.

Everything was finalized and the property manager was even going to send her the papers for signing by tonight. So what changed?

Ah Min, however, was not completely stumped just yet. She was a very resourceful and capable assistant.

She thought about it for a while and then called some of her contacts in Hongkong city. She wanted to see if she could find some more details indirectly through them.

And bingo! A few hours later, one of her friends called back and gave her only a single name, the Mo family's young master Mo Ling.

Ah Min furrowed her brows and immediately texted Su Lin about this new development.

The Mo family was a very influential family in Hongkong and she didn't dare to handle this situation on her own.

Somewhere in the middle of Europe...

"YOU... YOU... HOW DARE YOU LET MY SON GET OUT OF YOUR SIGHT???" A middle-aged woman bellowed as she crushed the phone in her hands.

"Ella dear, you didn't even let him finish what he was saying." A man lovingly hugged her from behind and wiped the tears off of the woman's cheeks.

"But he... Honey, our son has really suffered all these years. I can't even believe he is alive."

She tried her best to not hope again but to no avail. Her foolish heart jumped at the first chance it got.

The woman sat back on the couch and leaned with her eyes closed.

Her face looked extremely tired and lifeless. But the woman was mesmerizing beyond belief.

It was as if she stepped out of an old god's oil painting. None of the current actresses or models could even hold a candle to her elegance and beauty.

But right now, she seemed to be completely drenched in untold misery.

Ella Augustin, the iron-fisted current matriarch of the Augustin family, had made peace with herself a long time ago about her missing son and his potential death.

Now and then some vague news and unreliable tips did continue to reach her ears, but she had never been faltered by it.

But this time...
