Chapter 654 - A monster (1/2)

Xiao Luo moved his lips but said nothing. That Caucasian man, Ian, gave him an uncomfortable vibe. He had this feeling that there was a latent danger lurking within this man, just waiting to strike like a viper. If Huang Ruoran dated someone else, he would not have bothered to stop her, for everyone had the right to date whoever they chose. But he could not read her mind and could never understand her true feelings.

Maybe he was overthinking, and Ian could turn out to be the man that Huang Ruoran had described. Though he looked like a playboy, he might genuinely have feelings for Huang Ruoran.

Xiao Luo changed the topic to avoid further conflict and said, “Putting everything else aside, would it not be difficult to maintain this long-distance relationship with him?”

“Why would it be? As long as we are genuinely in love, the distance between us would only make us grow fonder. We are in the Internet era, and I can see him every day,” Huang Ruoran retorted as she took a sip of coffee.

“Alright, you have my best wishes then,” he replied.

Xiao Luo did not have any romantic feelings toward Huang Ruoran, and it was only because they were friends that he felt compelled to look out for her. Xiao Luo did not wish to see her hurt at such a young age. Anyway, he chose not to pry into her affairs. If it turned out that Huang Ruoran and Ian ended up in marriage, then he would be accused of playing the role of Fahai, the villainous monk in the Legend of the White Snake.

“Thank you!”

Huang Ruoran said and nodded with a smile. It was complicated, knowing that she had suddenly shifted her affection from Xiao Luo to Ian. It all began when Ian saved her by getting her away from that oncoming car in the nick of time. And it happened on that night when Xiao Luo broke her heart. Ian was a handsome, proud, and romantic man who was extremely caring toward her, and it made her fall in love with him.

Xiao Luo soon put the matter of Ian and Huang Ruoran behind him. It was already late in the night, and he was staying in a villa near the western suburbs.

The owner of that villa was none other than the leader of the Lame Gang of the Mei nation. Xiao Luo had defeated him convincingly in a fight, and since then, he treated Xiao Luo as if he was a divine being. He was full of respect for Xiao Luo and had been running errands for him.

Xiao Luo was well aware of what the curse he carried, and whoever became close to him would invariably find themselves in danger. However, he had no qualms about bringing trouble to the Lame Gang. These were gangsters who dealt in drug trafficking, robbery, homicide, blackmailing, and theft. Drawing danger to them would only satisfy him.

“Sir, do you need a woman for the night?”

The leader of the Lame Gang clapped his hands, and a bevy of beautiful ladies walked in. There were Asian, Caucasian, African beauties of every description—slims ones, sexy ones, large ones. The leader laughed and said, “Sir, you may choose anyone that pleases you. You can use these bitches however you like. They will meet your every need and give you fond memories of the Mei nation.”

His underlings nodded repeatedly, like woodpeckers.

“F*ck off!”

Xiao Luo sat at the office desk and was busy typing on the keyboard. He did not even bother to even look at them. “All of you, f*ck off!”

“Yes… Okay.”

Xiao Luo had flatly rejected their offer, and the entire Lame Gang stood in the room feeling rather awkward. They did not dare to oppose Xiao Luo, so they retreated with the ladies and closed the door quietly.

“Boss, we are a bunch of dogs to him. I feel like we have lost our dignity as members of a gang,” complained one underling.

“Shut up. You know nothing!” snapped the leader of the Lame Gang.
