Chapter 18: Charming Roses.

The bar street looked particularly deserted during the daytime, with only a few cats and dogs wandering around. There were no crowds or traffic, forming a sharp contrast to the bustling nightlife.

Yang Chen pushed open the door of the Rose Bar, greeted the dozing bartender Xiao Zhao at the entrance, and walked towards the passage at the back of the bar.

The bar staff didn't stop him, but instead respectfully greeted him as he walked by, clearly aware that Yang Chen's relationship with Rose was not ordinary.

The corridor at the back of the bar was surprisingly long, spanning over fifty meters, leading to two tall men in suits standing guard in front of a beautiful wooden door three meters away from them. Upon seeing Yang Chen, the two men immediately bowed neatly and made a gesture of invitation.

Yang Chen nodded and walked forward to push open the ornate wooden door. The room was greeted with a natural fragrance, carrying a hint of lavender scent.

It was an unusually large room, with a smooth brown-yellow wooden floor and black marble walls. In the center, there was a leather bed over seven feet wide. The coffee-colored decoration gave the room a dim and seductive allure, revealing a touch of understated elegance. One side of the room was blocked by a glass door, beyond which was an outdoor swimming pool and a small garden.

It was hard to imagine that there would be such a peaceful haven behind a noisy bar. This was Rose's "home."

As soon as he stepped in, Yang Chen suddenly felt a chill, and without hesitation, he raised his right hand to block an attack!

"Whoosh!" A sharp sound of air being split was heard, as a pale white hand holding a sharp dagger suddenly appeared three inches away from Yang Chen's cheek. He managed to block it just in time!

Ambushed and caught off guard, the dagger rotated in the palm like a flowing stream, as the assailant made another stab towards Yang Chen's ribs!

Yang Chen calmly pressed his warm hand against the assailant's arm and lightly squeezed, exerting force outward. The arm holding the dagger could not touch Yang Chen's body anymore.

Realizing that his strength was no match, the attacker lifted his leg to strike Yang Chen's lower back, but Yang Chen had already seen through all his moves. He grabbed the arm holding the dagger and slid it downwards!

Before the leg was fully lifted, the dagger had already become a weapon blocking his path...

"Enough playing!"

Pouting her red lips, Rose threw the dagger on the ground, "Every time, I don't understand how you, a monster younger than me, became so skilled!"

Yang Chen released Rose's silky arm, feeling a bit reluctant to let go of the delicate touch. He turned around and said with a smile, "Not bad, you're a bit faster than a month ago. You've improved a lot."

"But still no match for you..." Rose rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and sat down on the big bed with grace. In her room, Rose was dressed casually, wearing a loose white lace silk nightgown that covered her seductive body. The V-neck collar on her chest was held high by her ample breasts, with the black mesh hollow bra visible from the gap. The bottom of the nightgown was surprisingly short, barely wrapping around her plump, round buttocks. Her ivory-like thighs were exposed generously, revealing shiny and creamy skin.

Yang Chen couldn't help but glance at the gap between Rose's thighs, where a hint of seduction was swirling. Even her underwear was black mesh, and a few black threads were visible...

Rose's eyes revealed a bit of pride. Although, for certain reasons, the man she was infatuated with didn't want to get too close to her, it seemed that he had no resistance to her body. As she was happy in her heart, she threw a seductive look, which could steal a person's soul, and asked, "Yang Chen... is my sister pretty...?"

"Pretty..." Yang Chen swallowed, feeling his little brother rise in excitement. Did God make a mistake? Is this woman from hell? Only the devil could have such a figure, right?

"Do you want to touch...?" Rose blinked her eyes, and with one hand slowly pulled the collar of her blouse, revealing her fair and tender skin. One of her beautiful legs was slightly relaxed, revealing her black mesh underwear, and a few slender legs that were like black grass came into view...

Yang Chen took a deep breath. Although he had seen many beautiful women, his wife Lin Ruoxi's face was beyond comparison. However, the woman in front of him, Rose, was also a first-class beauty. Not only was her charming temperament alluring, but her body was also ripe like a peach. At this moment, Rose was like a blooming red rose, and her sweet fragrance made people dizzy.

Slowly, Yang Chen approached Rose and stopped in front of her. He lowered his body and stared straight into Rose's charming peach blossom eyes. Suddenly, he smiled mischievously and said, "Rose, I really want to touch you, but if I do, would you chop off my hand with a knife?"

"Can I chop it off?" Rose breathed out like an orchid.

"You're too tempting, and I'm feeling weak in the bones. I might not have the strength to resist you," Yang Chen replied.

"Do you want to try?" Rose licked her cherry lips with her lilac tongue, her voice lazy and alluring.

Yang Chen suddenly inhaled the intoxicating pheromone scent emanating from Rose's body, but his eyes remained clear. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, Rose's beautiful eyes, which were full of lust just a moment ago, lost their luster. Instead, a mix of disappointment, despair, pain, and anger appeared. She suddenly chuckled and said, "Hehe, Yang Chen, so this is how you see me."

"How do I see you?" Yang Chen asked with a playful smile.

"Do you think that I have been seducing you to achieve my goals using your strength?" Rose did not hesitate to speak her mind.

"You're right. Your strength is terrifyingly powerful. I have never seen anyone who can give me the concept of invincibility like you," Yang Chen admitted. While speaking, Rose pulled up her collar to cover her exposed beautiful skin and continued to tell him in a soft voice, "Similarly, I need you. Although my Redbud Association and my father's Western Alliance are now the two largest gangs in the western region, my Redbud Association is still too young. If we really start a war, the Western Alliance may lose some people, but our Redbud Association will undoubtedly be completely destroyed."

At this point, Rose's face, which was once gentle and charming, showed a hint of coldness. "Yang Chen, do you remember the night we first met? That night, I was ambushed, and everyone around me was killed. I was the only one who fled alone on the street."

Yang Chen listened quietly and nodded slightly. In his mind, the scene gradually surfaced.
