Standing up, Flossie Wright walked to the counter to pay the bill.
But as she barely reached the counter, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her, laying several red banknotes on the counter’s surface.

The cashier lady was startled, and her panicked eyes blinked uncontrollably at Perry Reed, who was standing by Flossie’s side.
"No need for change."
With a voice dripping in indifference, Perry Reed grabbed Flossie Wright’s arm, pulling her out of the door bluntly.
The cashier lady stood speechlessly, gazing at the red banknotes left on the table, she didn’t even have the courage to pick them up.
So handsome, but so terrifying...
Being forcefully dragged away, Flossie Wright, without a regular exercise regime, was unable to even break free, let alone strike back.
Flossie Wright had a stern expression.
She was annoyed.
However, Perry Reed, who easily pulled her out onto the street, seemed to realize something.
In the crowded street, he suddenly stopped.
Staring seriously and puzzledly at the woman next to him, Perry Reed furrowed his brow, "Too weak."
Flossie Wright’s face darkened.
The once strong Erina Taylor was devilishly tough. Few could get lucky dealing with her.
Though Flossie was optimistic and didn’t much care about it, she was pretty uncomfortable being assessed like this by Perry Reed.
"However," Perry Reed’s lips curved slightly, his tone changed abruptly, "That’s good."
Erina, once so powerful, didn’t need anyone’s help. All men felt powerless in front of her.
Noticing that Flossie Wright, who was standing in front of him now, had become weaker, Perry Reed, a man with a strong ego, felt better inside.
But, this wasn’t over yet.
"Erina," Perry Reed suddenly called out to her.
"Stay with me."
He turned his head, his eyes full of overflowing tenderness, contrasting greatly with his previous tyrannical image.
After a slight pause, Flossie Wright turned to look at him, "No need."
They knew each other for five years. While they couldn’t say they knew each other very well, there was at least some tacit understanding.
How could Flossie Wright not see through his thoughts? She just didn’t want to think about it. In her twenty-something years of life, she never wanted to give her heart to anyone.
"We can quit being mercenaries."
Lowering his gaze, Perry Reed looked serious, his fists clenched in his sleeves, his joints turning white.
For them, it was always friendship, open and candid. He thought it was okay, at least he knew Erina wouldn’t give herself to anyone else.
If no one can, then nothing matters.
This woman always easily walked into people’s hearts, leaving only the deepest imprints that time could not erase. She’s like a strong drink, tempting you before you even take a sip, gives you a strong hit when you drink it, and leaves you lingering after.
However, such a woman was killed in a quiet and desolate ruin, when no one expected it.
Only regret after missing, only pain after losing.
Pitiful him, being resolute and decisive in everything else, was left irresolute in front of this woman, unable to make himself clear to her.
After experiencing such deep scars, how could he behave as before when she stood in front of him again?
For her, he was willing to give up everything.
"Perry Reed, people like us are no longer suited for an ordinary life," Flossie Wright said slowly, her eyes downcast. "You’re well aware that you can’t abandon the people following you, and I won’t agree to be with you just because you’re willing to give up."
