Keith laughed. His luck had been pretty good today. He'd gotten another skill.
Come on, singing, dancing, acting, and playing music. If he didn't go into show business,
wouldn't it be a colossal waste of talent? Keith let out a long breath and looked at the
sky. He knew very well that as his abilities became stronger and stronger, he'd start to
draw more attention to himself and offend more people.
He had to keep moving forward until he reached the peak, and he was looking forward to
it. The view from the top above the clouds at the mountain summit. But these were
things that would happen a long time from now.
His pressing problem was where to sleep tonight. Of course, it wasn't a problem to go
and sleep at his parents' house. He still vowed to take good care of his sister during the
day, even though he was being chased out of his own home each night.
It could be a little embarrassing if his parents asked about it. Suddenly, his heart jumped
as he thought of a place to go. A little while later, Keith was walking along the dimly lit
street into Westville.
Suddenly, two young men walked quickly in front of him. They were wearing black
clothes and baseball caps. If Keith's eyesight wasn't so good, he would never have
spotted them.
The two of them had their heads lowered in discussion when they suddenly saw Keith in
front of them. They stopped in their tracks and looked at him with a trace of panic in
their eyes. Keith frowned slightly, but he didn't know these two people, so he didn't want
to approach them directly.
The two young men looked at each other and hurried down the street even faster. When
they passed each other, Keith noticed something and looked back. There was a peony
petal stuck to one of their pants.
He racked his brain to remember where he'd seen this kind of peony before. It was from
Olivia's living room. Stop! Keith's shout rang out.
The two young men flinched, and they didn't even turn their heads before rushing off
down the street. All right, let's go, Keith shrugged. He waved his hand, and two silver
lights flashed.
Two coins hit the fleeing men right in the back of their knees. Keith's 30 points of power
shot out coins that could almost pierce a person's flesh. The two people screamed on the
spot and rolled down the hill.
Wind walking activated. Keith's body vanished from the spot he'd been standing in. In
just a few breaths time, he appeared in front of the two men.
Shock appeared in their eyes, and the system's voice rang out. Range perception
activated. The two men in front of you pose a threat.
In the next moment, the two young men reached into their pockets. But having predicted
their movements, Keith kicked out twice. With a sound of bones breaking, their hands
were crushed, and the guns hidden in their jackets fell to the ground.
But even after receiving such heavy blows, the two young men still scrambled for the
pistols that had fallen from their grasps. You're courting death. Keith flicked his finger,
and two more coins shot out.
They hit the men in the thumbs. The thumb and the forefinger of each young man
cracked, and they could no longer grab hold of anything. Keith took a step forward and
placed his foot on the chest of one of the men.
Who sent you here? He barked. Are you trying to harm Olivia? Fear appeared in their
eyes, but at that moment, the system notification sounded again. Range perception skill
activated.
An enemy in the distance poses a threat. Keith was shocked, and without even thinking,
he jumped away. A split second later, a gunshot was heard.
The bullet hit the spot where he had just been standing. Sniper rifle! A cold light flashed
in Keith's eyes. Then he pointed his finger to the sky, and a crack of thunder boomed
across the boulevard.
With a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, the woods in the distance were set
ablaze. Unfortunately, Keith didn't have the thousand-mile eye skill, nor did he have the
ability to respond to the sound. He had aimed the lightning at the enemy in the distance,
but no screams came from the target's direction.
Suddenly, a black off-road vehicle rushed out of the woods, the door flew open, and a
burly man dragged the two young men into the vehicle before the car screeched off into
the night. Keith's body flashed with electricity, and two lightning bolts shot from his
eyes. With another crack of thunder, the car was sent flying.
It rolled down the road and crashed into a stone wall before exploding in a ball of fire.
Keith's jaw fell open. He'd only wanted to blow the tires so that the car would have to
stop.
He didn't think it'd cause it to crash and explode into flames. You've shattered the
opponent's wish to escape. Attribute point plus one.
Under such a huge impact, it was impossible that any of the people in the car had
survived. Keith made a swift decision, and his entire body flashed with arcs of electricity.
Dense currents of lightning flew in all directions.
After a series of crackling noises, every street lamp and surveillance camera in the
surrounding area was blasted into pieces. Terrifying electrical currents rushed along the
cables and into the monitoring room. With a bang, the terminals and hard drives were
burned to a crisp.
The on-call staff who woke up at the noise were completely dumbfounded. You've
shattered the wish of the night shift staff to slack off and sleep. Attribute point plus one.
The thunderous strike had burned all the evidence. Keith was about to use his wind
walking to chase after the sniper, but as he moved away, his entire body shook, and he
almost lost his balance. Too many things had happened today, and he'd even used the
power of Thor skills several times, causing him to deplete both his spiritual energy and
his stamina.
He hurriedly stabilized his body. When the two attribute points that he had just obtained
were added to the stamina and spiritual energy, the tiredness he felt was slightly
alleviated. Keith saw the Westville security guards rushing towards the fire.
He watched them long enough to ensure they had the situation under control. Then, he
quietly disappeared into the forest. After creeping around the back of the estate, he used
his key to open the back door and enter the Strauss mansion.
It was so quiet that no one seemed to be home. Keith was worried about Olivia's safety.
He checked all the rooms on the third floor and found no one.
There were no signs of a struggle or a fight. He let out a sigh of relief and found a spare
guest room. He took off his clothes and fell into the bed, pushing away the many pillows
before falling into a deep sleep.
Later that night, Olivia finished a long day's work. She was mentally and physically
exhausted and wanted nothing more than to go home and sleep. After returning home,
she made her way to her room, threw off her clothes before climbing into the soft bed.
In a daze, she seemed to be searching for something. When her fingers touched what
she'd been looking for, the corner of her mouth curved into a reassuring smile, and she
fell into a comfortable sleep. The next morning, Keith felt his arm had gone numb and his
stomach was being pressed down by something.
He slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw what it was, he was so alarmed that he
almost fell out of the bed. Olivia was lying beside him with her head resting on his arm.
Her breath was even as she slept soundly.
In front of him was the beautiful, sleeping face of his boss and, technically, his wife. As . he took a deep, calming breath, Keith smelled a faint, feminine fragrance that made his
cheeks turn red and his heart thump. Sneaking a peek under the blanket, he almost got
a nosebleed.
Other than a scrap of a silk negligee, Olivia was almost naked. Her soft hand rested on
his chest, and her smooth thigh was crossed over his stomach. Lord help me.
Keith felt his heartbeat even faster. He wanted to sneak out and run away, but he was
afraid that he would wake Olivia up. For a moment, he lay frozen on the bed.
Olivia seemed to feel the unusual movement beside her, and she opened her eyes in a
daze. The sight that greeted her was the young man's delicate but embarrassed face.
Keith? Olivia called out instinctively in her daze, and then her entire body froze.
She realized her current condition, and her beautiful eyes widened. Although she didn't
dare move, her body noticeably began to tremble. Keith knew that he wouldn't be able
to pass this test.
He rubbed his nose, then laughed, and said, Mistress, good, um, morning? Ah! A scream
rang out, and Olivia clutched the blanket and sat up in shock. She pointed at Keith and
said in a trembling voice, You, you, you, why are you here? Keith gave a small smile and
said, You might not believe me, but I came to find you to spend the night. No, I mean, I
came to your house to spend the night.
No, no, no, no. I came to stay overnight, to stay overnight in your house, but not with
you. The more he talked, the more suspicious it sounded.
Olivia's face was completely red by now. She looked at Keith's eyes, which were filled
with panic, and said shakily, You, you're shameless. What did you do to me? What did
you do while I was sleeping? You didn't do anything, did you? Keith looked at the sheets
and heaved a sigh of relief.
Look, there's nothing there. We're both still clothed, right? Olivia's heart beat even faster
as she peeked under the blankets. There were no stains, and everyone's underwear was
still in the right place.
Olivia let out a sigh of relief and felt her body go weak and hot. For a moment, she only
looked at Keith with teary eyes, not knowing what to say. You fulfilled Olivia's wish of not
doing anything.
Wish value, plus one. Current progress, ten of ten. You and Olivia shared a bed.
Intimacy, plus twenty. Current intimacy, seventy. When Keith heard the system
notifications, he frowned.
What kind of crazy operation was this? Just as the tension was about to grow unbearable, they heard an exclamation. Old Mr. Strauss had come to call his granddaughter to
breakfast. The door was pushed open, and a stunning sound burst from his mouth.
Oh, good morning, Keith. I didn't realize you were here. Don't let this old man interrupt.
As the door swung closed behind him, he shouted, You kids, remember to eat a hearty
breakfast later. When Olivia heard the old man's shout, her eyebrows disappeared into
her hairline. Did he not care about his granddaughter at all? She looked at Keith and
lightly snorted, Get out.
I want to get dressed. Ten minutes later, Olivia came into the breakfast room in a
beautiful long dress. Her expression had finally calmed down.
Keith took a bite of toast and asked curiously, But, Mr. Strauss, I made sure that I found
an empty room to sleep in last night. So, why were you by my side when I woke up this
morning? Olivia felt her face heat up. Although she didn't want to admit it, her memories
couldn't lie.
Last night, she had been the one who had found Keith asleep in bed. But, of course,
Olivia couldn't admit that. That's my room.
All right. Keith didn't intend to push the issue. He looked at the pot of peonies in the
corner of the room and asked, Have you felt like someone's been following you recently?
Following me? Olivia snapped.
Who would be following me? Don't tell me you came to my room last night to protect
me. Um... Keith smiled awkwardly. He suddenly got up and walked to the corner, circling
the pot of peonies as if he was looking for something.
Olivia was smart, and she had guessed what he was trying to do. She gritted her teeth
and said in a low voice, This bastard is looking for an excuse. I won't accept it.
Coward!
