Chapter 56

Su Nuohan paused for a moment. She had always known that the man pampering her before her eyes was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. Take, for instance, the look of sheer terror on the faces of those men from Southeast Asia whenever they heard his name; or how even an underworld overlord like Xiao Heng willingly called him boss. The reasons behind this were enough to prove that he was far from ordinary. Whenever he was by her side, he always reined in the fierce aura that usually surrounded him. On that day when the members of the Council of Elders refused to acknowledge her identity, she had seen with her own eyes what he was like in front of them—cold, detached, and utterly terrifying... though she was not afraid of him.
