Chapter 413 Easton was beaming with joy. âCould I be bluffing? She's really gorgeous...â
Delight suddenly flooded Reva's features as she called out, âKayson!â
Easton turned around, only to see Kayson enter, and asked excitedly, âKayson! Kayson! Have you
seen the new CFO?"
âYeah.â Kayson nodded.
Easton chuckled. "What do you think? Isn't she pretty?â
"Yeah!" Kayson replied with a smile.
Easton sighed. âToo bad. I don't know what her name is or if she has a boyfriend...â
âHer name's Celeste Peach,â Kayson answered.
Easton, Reva, Quincy, and the others glanced at him at once.
"Why are you all looking at me like this?â
Easton could not help asking, âHow do you know her name, Kayson?â
"Oh, sheâs my friend.â
The rest of them widened their eyes as Easton wailed, â
No! My first love is gone again!â Natalie deadpanned, âEaston, this is like your 216th first love.â
âF*ck off!â Easton retorted.
It was already after working hours, and Sadie was working overtime , so Kayson went downstairs to
meet Celeste without informing her.
Celeste chortled and whispered, âWe won't have a scandal tomorrow, will we?â
Celeste took Kayson to a restaurant that served her favorite dishes. She used to cook on her own
when she stayed abroad, and Kayson was not a picky eater, so he could eat anything âWhen can the
car be picked up?â Kayson asked.
âIn one or two days. I donât want a temporary license plate, so I'll collect it after they've handled all
the details,â Celeste answered.
âThat makes sense.â Kayson nodded.
Kayson wanted to take Celeste back after dinner, but she said that she wanted to take a stroll, and
he did not refuse.
Celeste sighed. âSo much has changed here. I'll need to spend some time familiarizing myself.â
âReally?â I've spent a long time in the village, so I'm not quite sure.â âVillage?â Celeste was puzzled.
Kayson nodded. âI've always stayed in the village. I'm only here under my mentor's orders to repay a
favor.â Celeste asked curiously, âIs it your hometown? Is your mentor in the village too? Is it fun
there? Will I get a
chance to visit your village in the future?â âIt's kind of boring. You might not actually like it,â Kayson
replied. Celeste looked interested as she grinned. âNot necessarily!â While she spoke , there was a
subtle change in Kayson's expression as he dragged her to the side.
Boom! A crack appeared out of the blue where Celeste had just been standing!
"W-What's going on...â Celeste looked alarmed.
Kayson looked grim. âIt's fine. I was the target.â
Celeste was still looking confused when Kayson suddenly picked her up, causing her to squeal and
cling to his neck.
Just as Kayson reached a deserted forest, a swoosh of sword aura billowed. A tree was cut and
collapsed as a result. Kayson kept Celeste protected behind him and
asked with a frown, âAre you Ghoul Sword?â
Campian had told him that Ghoul Sword had entered Clouspring
A middle-aged man wielding a long sword with a reddish blade appeared before Kayson. His gaze
was dark as he exuded aggressive, murderous intent.
âYou should die for wrecking my energy crystal! I'm going to kill your entire family and all your
friends!â
