“Let’s go back to your office for dinner then. I made you some lamb.”
“Okay!”
After that, under everyone’s gaze, Anna and Wayne returned to Anna’s office, holding hands. Meanwhile, Patrick sent Victoria into the operating room. Her blood dripped onto the hospital floor, looking quite unsettling.

“I had no idea Victoria was still alive. How did she get away after their ship sank?” Anna asked while munching the lamb in her office.
“That surprised me as well. I think it might have something to do with her past. You know, she used to be a mercenary, and she’s stronger than I thought. Otherwise, she couldn’t have been the chief for so long,” Resting his chin on his palm, Wayne looked at Anna and replied.
“That’s right. We might not have been able to defeat her if she hadn’t become weak after being infected. She’s probably in a lot of pain now that she’s been shot so many times.”
“I’m not going to let her die so easily. I want to torture her and make her life a living hell!” Gritting his teeth, Wayne said.
“She deserves it. What the hell was she thinking? Using special forces to take down Night Eagle? Dream on!” With that, Anna took a hard bite of the lamb.
“She shouldn’t have threatened you in the first place. You’re my people,” Wayne expressed his dissatisfaction.
While they were still eating, Camila called Anna. Then Anna switched the phone to speaker mode to let Wayne hear their conversation.
“My assistant is coming to your hospital to pick up Victoria. I heard you shot her. Is that true?” Camila asked excitedly.
“Yeah. You should bring a stretcher bed because she cannot walk right now. She’s been shot in each of her limbs. Even if you remove the bullets, she will be unable to walk afterwards,” Anna said.
“You guys are incredible! Wayne did that, right? You’re far too kind to do this.”
“Yes. He’s right next to me now,” With a smile, Anna said, “What do you intend to do with her?”
“I’ll keep her locked up in jail. There will be rats and cockroaches to entertain her.” Camila explained calmly.
“Wow! You’re even tougher than Wayne. But, in any case, she deserves it.”
“Sure.”
“She’d probably rather kill herself.”
“Don’t worry. We have plenty of ways to keep her from committing suicide.”
“Great.”

The Carousel Group won the racing race last month. As a result, their new car brand received a great deal of attention. Unfortunately, Matthew was abducted before the race ended. The Carousel Group had planned a post-race celebration party as planned, but it was canceled because they didn’t find Matthew.
Tammy later told Matthew that Jayden’s friend Dominic drove her and Alicia to find him. And Tammy said she wanted to take Dominic to dinner to thank him. Matthew appreciated Jayden’s efforts for the race, so he invited them both to dinner. Meanwhile, Alicia suggested bringing Kevin because she was his fan.
That night, the six of them went out to dinner. They were all the same age and shared many interests, so they had a great time together. Because several of them were underage, they all drank juice rather than wine.
When Alicia saw Kevin, she blushed. But she still asked Tammy to take a picture of them. Tammy didn’t find Kevin as handsome as Alicia did. Her brother, she thought, was the most attractive of the three boys, followed by Dominic.
Tammy saw Matthew and Dominic as two different kinds of cute guys. Matthew was stern, cold, and oppressive. Because he became president at such a young age, he had always kept a poker face to make himself appear untouchable. On the other hand, Dominic was far more easygoing than Matthew. He had soft black curly hair and gentle green eyes, and his smile was always as warm and bright as the sun.
Matthew had only met Dominic twice, yet both times had been unpleasant. The first time they met, Dominic stole her contract and she mistook him for her enemy. The second time they met, Tammy even yelled at him. Later, when everyone assumed Matthew had fallen off a cliff, Dominic drove Tammy and Alicia to find him. It wasn’t until then that Tammy thought of Dominic as a wonderful friend who was generous and cheerful. Most importantly, he was an excellent player.
Tammy later watched a lot of videos of his games and discovered that he was indeed fantastic, as people said. Tammy admired him because he was good at mind games.
At the moment, Tammy had Matthew to her left and Dominic to her right. She couldn’t help but ask Dominic, “Why did you decide to retire so soon? You’re still young. And you have the potential to win more awards, Dominic.”
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.
“Yes,” Tammy said.
“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we’re not even friends now,” He said.
“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore,” Tammy said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.
“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.
“No.”
“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”
“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It has nothing to do with you.”
Hearing Tammy’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Tammy loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we’re friends now,” he said.
At that time, Alicia was talking to Kevin, and Matthew was talking to Jayden. On the other hand, Matthew kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.
Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Matthew. The two boys then locked their gazes on each other. Matthew appeared wary and hostile, whereas Dominic didn’t seem to be bothered by Matthew’s gaze at all. Tammy, however, was so concentrated on eating that she had no idea what was going on between her brother and Dominic.
“Can you teach me how to play games?” Tammy asked, her gaze fixed on Dominic.
“You’re doing a good job as a live streamer,” Dominic replied, sounding as if he was genuinely complimenting her.
“No, I’m not as great as you.”
“I’m a pro, so I have to be good. Do you want to be a part of the professional team as well?” Dominic asked, looking rather intrigued.
“I haven’t thought it through yet, but I’m interested in it. My brother said he’ll be supportive of that,” With a shrug, Tammy replied.
“Then let me know when you figure it out.”
Hearing that, Tammy became thrilled right away. She asked, “Really? Are you willing to do that?”
“Only if I happen to be in Birmingham at the time.”
Dominic had been living in London before coming to Birmingham. Because his family did not support him to be an e-sports player, he moved to Birmingham with a group of friends and formed his own team.
He won some competitions and broke the national record over the years, but he became disoriented about his life. His father had recently become ill, which made him realize it was time for him to return to London.
“Great! Let me toast you!” Tammy said. She picked up her juice glass and clinked it with Dominic’s.
“Are you sure you want me to be your teacher?” Dominic asked jokingly. He laughed when he locked eyes with Tammy and saw her excited expression.
In response, Tammy nodded her head and smiled. Seeing that, Dominic wanted to stroke her hair, but he gave up that idea because he saw Matthew was looking at him with hostility.
After a while, Dominic went to the bathroom. And Matthew followed him after paying the bill. Dominic stopped in the hallway when he realized Matthew was following him. He turned around and asked, “Matthew, do you have anything to say to me?”
