When Diana opened her eyes, she saw Rachit sitting in a chair in front of the sofa. His hands propped up his chin and stared at her intently.
In an instant, a blush appeared on Diana's face.
"Oh... Darling, you're blushing," Rachit exclaimed excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent.
The wife's expression added another layer, which was nice!
After giving Rachit a disdainful look, Diana looked out the window. She furrowed her brows and asked, "What time is it?"
"Past 10!"
"I slept for over 5 hours?" Diana was somewhat surprised.
Her sleep quality had been poor lately. Even during the night when she should be sleeping, getting four hours of sleep was already quite good.
Why did she sleep so long today?
Diana couldn't quite figure it out.
"Darling, you're too tired. You can't be this exhausted in the future, or your body won't be able to handle it," Rachit said with a hint of concern.
Feeling cared for, Diana felt a ripple in her heart, an unfamiliar feeling that seemed quite nice.
After a deep look at Rachit, Diana said, "Let's go home."
"Okay."
As Diana drove her BMW into Moonlight Bay, Rachit squinted his eyes and his expression darkened slightly.
"What's wrong?" Diana asked in confusion.
"Nothing!" Rachit flashed a bright smile and said, "Darling, I'll get off here. You drive back, I'll be back in a bit."
"Where are you going?"
"Darling, are you concerned about me?" Rachit asked happily.
In the past year, every time he went out, Diana never asked him what he was up to. Today, she asked for the first time, which was progress. How could Rachit not be happy?
"Who's concerned about you?" Diana rolled her eyes and then suddenly stepped on the brake, saying lightly, "You can get off now."
"Oh... okay!" Rachit didn't rush to get off, instead, he said with a smile, "Darling, if you're concerned about me, you can just say it directly. I don't mind."
"Well... you don't mind, but I do!"
"Hehe... Darling, you look so cute when you're angry."
"Get off!" Diana said with a firmer tone.
"Hehe... I'll get off right away. Darling, don't be angry, it'll give you wrinkles."
"I don't need your advice!" Diana glared at Rachit, then as soon as he got off, she stepped on the gas, and the BMW roared away.
Diana suddenly felt that this guy was better off being a mute, at least he wouldn't be talking nonsense like he was now, blabbering on endlessly.
...
Hospital of the Zintech City.
Ingrid looked at Hendrik and asked, "Mr. Benz, has Woody found that foolish son-in-law of the Cyrus family?"
Hendrik patted Ingrid's arm and said, "Darling, rest assured, with Woody's abilities, dealing with a foolish son-in-law is no problem at all."
"But please don't let anything go wrong. According to the witnesses from Fragrant Sky Pavilion, that foolish son-in-law is quite capable. Can Woody handle him?" Ingrid expressed some concern.
"I trust Woody's methods. He spent many years as a mercenary abroad, with rich combat experience. I paid a hefty price to bring him in. Dealing with a foolish son-in-law is a piece of cake."
"That's good!"

Once he got out of the car, the smile on Rachit's face instantly froze. He slowly walked to a blind spot in the residential area where the surveillance system couldn't monitor.
Stopping in his tracks, he looked up at the starry sky and said slowly, "Been hiding for so long, is it fun? Come out!"
Four people appeared from around Rachit. They were surrounding him in the middle, one of them being the Woody sent by Hendrik.
"Who are you guys?" Rachit asked casually.
"The ones after your life," Woody replied coldly.
"After my life, just you guys?" Rachit scoffed.
"Just us."
"Why didn't Donahue's father send more people?" Rachit asked with a smile.
"How do you know we're from Skies Benz's group?" Woody asked in surprise.
"Heh... I only have two enemies, one of them is still in the Dragon Kingdom, and the other is Donahue whom I crippled today. What's so hard to guess?" Rachit shrugged.
Rachit's enemy was Zaph, the jerk who spied on his wife. Rachit naturally considered him an enemy.
"Now that you've guessed, you should know that by offending the Benz family, you can only end up dead. Isn't that clear enough?" Woody looked coldly at Rachit, then gestured to the other three, "Attack!"
With the command given, four shiny daggers appeared in their hands, and they all lunged towards Rachit.
Four against one?
It wasn't that they underestimated Rachit, but they always attacked together no matter the enemy. They were a unified whole, indispensable to each other.
Facing the four daggers coming at him, Rachit coldly squeezed out one word from his cornered position, "Trash!"
Squinting his eyes, Rachit slowly raised his right hand and picked up four silver needles between his fingers.
With a light flick, the four silver needles shot toward the four directions with a whistling sound.
"Swoosh swoosh..."
The four silver needles instantly pierced the foreheads of the four individuals.
In an instant, the four of them widened their eyes in disbelief. A look of horror on their faces, as if they were seeing an angel of death from hell.
Moments later, all four of them collapsed softly. Devoid of any signs of life.
Just as he had told Faithe before, his silver needles weren't for saving lives, but for taking them.
Silent and deadly, a single strike to kill.
The Death Needle was not just a name.
Without sparing another glance at the four, Rachit left Moonlight Bay, not returning to the Cyrus family, but instead buying a phone from a store outside Moonlight Bay.
Well... now that he could talk, he naturally needed a phone for convenience.
Spending a little over 200 dollars wasn't expensive.
Today, he just earned 100,000 dollars from Donahue, so he had some money now.
Back at the Cyrus family, the living room was empty. It was indicating that everyone in the Cyrus family had already gone to rest.
Rachit went straight to his room, where Diana was sitting at the bedside with her laptop.
Rachit asked in confusion, "Darling, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I slept for over 5 hours at the company just now, so I'm not tired now," Diana replied. She was looking up at Rachit and asking, "Where did you go just now?"
"I went to buy a phone," Rachit said. He was showing her the new phone he bought.
"Where did you get the money?" Diana asked in puzzlement.
In Diana's memory, when she rescued Rachit, he had at most a few dollars on him, and he hadn't accepted her card. So where did he get the money to buy a phone?
