The cold night wind blew

Rhode stood on the balcony on the second floor, quietly watching the beautiful scenery of Deep Stone City before hiht lines which flickered in the dark sky like fireflies in the night A calentle breeze that could be heard froly formed a whole neorld

Rhode felt that his existence in this world was becoly realistic

“Thuentle pair of footsteps came from behind, but Rhode didn’t need to look back to knoho it was The person also did not say anything and stood quietly by Rhode’s side, bathing in the cool night After some time, Marlene’s voice sounded in Rhode’s ear

“I’ve heard about you fro worthy of your thanks,” Rhode said coolly

“You saved Lize This act itself is a very important matter to me”

Marlene reached out her hand and flicked her long hair Then, she glanced at Rhode’s broad back

“She is my only friend Our friendshi+p was the same in the past, and there’s no difference now If she died…” Marlene trailed off, but Rhode could understand what she was trying to say

“Do you know about Lize’s past?”

“If she wants to tell me, she’ll take the initiative to do so”

Rhode did not answer her question directly, he just shrugged and gave a vague answer When she discovered Rhode’s point, Marlene found herself unable to reply immediately She quietly watched Rhode and clenched her teeth Although Lize told her that Rhode was an easygoing person, Marlene just couldn’t understand hoas he easy to get along with…

“…I have decided, Mr Rhode I agree to your conditions I would like to stay”

“Oh?”

Hearing Marlene’s answer, Rhode turned around

“Have you truly decided on it?”

Marlene proudly raised her head and replied, “Yes”

Although she had lost rasp her oeaknesses She believed that perhaps Rhode wouldn’t be able to give her the best suggestions, but at least someone could point out her mistakes

Now that she had o back on her words That was her pride

“Well”

Rhode didn’t speak any fanciful words and nodded slightly

“Are you still hurt?”

“…It’s alright”

When she suddenly heard hie Subconsciously, she held her wrist The wound wasn’t anything serious, and after receiving Lize’s treatment, not even a scab was left But this injury still left a knot in her heart Just by thinking of it, it was as though she could still feel the pain

“But you had a chance to beat me”

Marleen was shocked These unexpected words took Marleen by surprise, and she raised her head to look at him

“Your injury wasn’t serious If you had the willpower to fight back when you’re injured, then even if you failed in the end, it wouldn’t be as quick as before Just aIf this were a real life or death battle, this action is akin to giving yourself a death sentence”

Marlene’s face turned red when she heard Rhode point out her ht with Rhode and found out that what he said was true Though defeating the youth was almost impossible, but at least she wouldn’t have lost so miserably It was just as he said, it was a life or death battle, she would be dead”

“I understand Thank you, Mr Rhode”

“No proble for a while, she asked again

“Mr Rhode, I heard that… you came from the Eastern Hill”

“Yes, what’s the probleirl opened her mouth but did not finish her sentence

“Never ht, Mr Rhode”
