Chapter 53: Meet Again

"Uncle, isn’t this woman really beautiful?" Zara suddenly asked while Enzo was still deep in thought.

His gaze instinctively turned forward and found the woman’s phone screen pointed at him. His eyes widened when he saw a photo of Alice wearing only a bra and panties by a swimming pool.

"What are you doing?" he said.

He had initially planned to remain silent like before, but that was no longer possible because of his facial reaction.

"Hehehe, I just wanted to see your reaction. But there’s nothing wrong with this. If you didn’t react, wouldn’t that mean you’re not a real man?"

Enzo: "..."

"Uncle, maybe that woman likes you," Rosa said while driving and glancing backward.

"This really isn’t strange at all. After all, even Auntie likes you, so it wouldn’t be strange if that woman felt the same way. Besides, you’re really handsome. I’ll honestly admit that."

"I admit it too. The question is, if a woman that beautiful pursued you, wouldn’t you be tempted?" Zara added.

Enzo did not know whether he should laugh or cry.

Now he regretted following the two of them.

"I already have a wife, and I’m done with all matters involving women," he replied.

At least, that was what he thought at the moment.

He could not say that he would never be tempted in the future, because something like that could never be predicted with absolute certainty.

Even his relationship with Miya—was it certain to last forever?

There was always a possibility that the woman might abandon him even if he did nothing wrong.

Enzo returned to examining the sword, with no intention of speaking anymore.

Even though it was an ordinary sword, he still needed to understand it properly in order to use it effectively.

Perhaps because of his serious expression, the two women also stopped talking to him.

They realized they would simply be ignored.

So they talked among themselves instead.

Enzo had no idea where they were taking him. He noticed that the car was traveling at high speed, but after spending quite some time studying the sword without them stopping, he could not help but become curious.

When he looked ahead again, he was surprised to find that they were already on the western outskirts of the city.

Stanley Mountain was in the east.

Even his former home was in the eastern part of City Z.

The university and city center were also still in the eastern part.

The western part of City Z could be considered an industrial area, with many factories and warehouses.

The buildings there tended to be low but extremely spacious.

’If I hadn’t become a Spiritual Warrior and graduated from university, I might have ended up working in one of those factories.’

He had already mentally prepared himself for that possibility.

Without asking anything, he simply continued watching the road.

The western outskirts did not have any slums. Instead, there were more newly built residential areas for factory workers.

Apparently, the car entered a road that ended at a hill.

The hill was surrounded by a fence, making it look like a protected area.

However, the grounds around the hill were filled with luxury cars, and many more were still arriving.

Enzo was rather surprised when he saw Alex getting out of a sports car, seemingly in a rather bad mood.

It was quite astonishing to see him already healthy here. After all, Enzo had burned him before he was beaten by his father.

’Unless his father didn’t actually do that after taking him home, and only pretended to punish him so that it would look like he wasn’t taking his son’s side.’

He was then approached by several young men around his age.

Enzo had seen some of them at his wedding, but not the others.

Perhaps they were not even from City Z. They might have come from smaller cities nearby.

After all, there were countless elite families throughout the country.

Those with sufficient strength could be called First-Tier or Second-Tier Elite Families, below the Ten Great Families.

The rest were Elite Families whose strength was not worth mentioning, but they possessed wealth or political influence.

Honk! Honk! Honk!

Rosa pressed the horn repeatedly because Alex and his companions were blocking the road.

Naturally, they did not look happy.

Each of them glared at the car instead of moving aside.

Being arrogant seemed to be a habit among them.

Annoyed, Zara finally rolled down the window beside her.

She stuck her head out through the window.

"Fatty, do you want my uncle to burn you again?" she said irritably.

In fact, even Alex did not recognize who Zara was.

His eyes could still see through the car window.

He simply could not see Enzo because the driver’s seat blocked his view.

Naturally, he saw Rosa and Zara, two young women who appeared to be around high-school age.

There were quite a lot of members of the Stanley Family, so how could he possibly know all of them aside from those who were famous?

Although Rosa and Zara had served as part of Miya’s wedding entourage, their appearances were too different now. They were currently wearing ordinary clothes like typical young women, whereas at the wedding, they had worn luxurious dresses and elaborate makeup.

More importantly, they had barely attracted any attention at the time. Everyone had been focused on Miya herself.

No one remembered their faces clearly, especially Alex, who had been consumed by jealousy at the time.

But Zara’s words struck him immediately.

’Burned?’

He had indeed been burned today.

By Enzo, of course.

’Why is this woman saying it was done by her uncle?’

’Is she Enzo’s niece?’

He looked into the car once again and finally noticed the man sitting in the back.

After taking a closer look, he realized that the man was Enzo.

They had been classmates for a long time, so of course he recognized him just from his shoulders.

"Girl, who are you? What nonsense are you talking about?" asked the thin man wearing a long earring beside Alex.

He looked as though he had used far too many drugs, and it was obvious from his face. His jaw was even constantly moving.

"Dammit, dying rat, you still dare to ask?" Zara became angry and looked at Alex again, who was beginning to become stunned as he started to suspect something.

It wasn’t as though he didn’t know that Enzo came from a small family consisting of only four people—his father, mother, and younger brother.

Of course, there was no way he could have a niece this old.

"Fatty, are you still not going to move?" Zara asked.
