chapter 39 cheongsam woman

Tyler Luo's pupils shrank as he locked his gaze on the person before him. It was as if what he thought of appeared before him — unexpectedly seeing Kevin Luo made things seem more interesting. Seeing Tyler Luo smiling in that direction, Avery Xu couldn't help but push him: "What's up with you? Recognize someone familiar?" "No familiar faces, but I did spot an enemy. What should we do about that?" Tyler Luo pointed ahead to a group of young people gathered in the distance. Following Tyler Luo's direction, Avery Xu was stunned, "Kevin Luo?" "You know him?" Tyler Luo looked at Avery Xu in surprise but then realized it made sense. Given Avery Xu's apparent status and background, it wasn't strange for her to know Kevin Luo. "You better not mess with Kevin Luo. He’s vengeful and ruthless. Relying on his status as a member of the Luo Family, he bullies both men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds. He's notoriously known as a prodigal son in Fenghuang City," Avery Xu said worriedly and quickly advised. However, she seemed to overlook that if Tyler Luo indeed had a feud with Kevin Luo, how could he not know about Kevin Luo’s identity? While speaking, Avery Xu pulled Tyler Luo in another direction, afraid that Kevin Luo would notice them. Although she wasn’t really afraid of Kevin Luo, she wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, especially since she didn’t come to the party to make enemies. Tyler Luo didn’t mind as long as Kevin Luo didn’t provoke him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate to make the Old Master of Luo lose a grandson. But Tyler Luo’s troubles were just beginning, as most people Avery Xu knew were women, older than Avery Xu, and the gathering of these women was predictable. In the end, Tyler Luo found an excuse to slip away. He wasn’t fond of such parties, but the variety of fine wines, from famous domestic liquors to foreign spirits, was tempting, filling the air with a rich aroma. Tyler Luo decided to stay put, finding the social interactions unsuitable for him. He had nothing in common to talk about with those people. However, the approaching footsteps from behind were hard to ignore. In a busy venue, footsteps were common, but these were heading towards him. With no one else around, he couldn’t overlook the sound. The footsteps seemed familiar. When Tyler Luo turned around, he was surprised at first, but then, like other men, he became entranced by the woman approaching. The woman, clad in a red cheongsam, accentuated her fiery figure. Her shoulder-length hair added to her charm. The design of the cheongsam highlighted the alluring curves of Eastern women, from the slit reaching her knees to the fitted waist and the voluptuous outline at the chest, making her dazzlingly attractive. But no one dared to approach this mature and stunning woman, known as the Godmother of the Underworld. Yes, this woman was none other than the Godmother of the Underworld, Scarlett Qin! But why was Scarlett Qin approaching him? Tyler Luo didn’t show any surprise, watching Scarlett Qin with a slightly lustful gaze, no different from the surrounding men. But inwardly, he was puzzled. He had changed his face recently, and Scarlett Qin shouldn’t recognize him. Yet nothing is absolute. Tyler Luo decided to pretend like the other men for now. However, Scarlett Qin was clearly approaching him. Initially curious, her inner turmoil became evident as she stood beside Tyler Luo, silently observing him. Tyler Luo seemed a bit "in awe," moving slightly backward. But Scarlett Qin just stood there, watching him, remaining silent. Most people would feel suffocated under such invisible pressure, especially with Scarlett Qin's bodyguards shadowing her. Though they were about twenty meters away, no one doubted their skills. Knowing Scarlett Qin's identity, people only dared to watch from afar, not daring to come close. Although Tyler Luo appeared as captivated as other men by Scarlett Qin, he showed no fear. Scarlett Qin sensed this immediately. “Even though you look different from that night, I recognized you at a glance,” Scarlett Qin softly spoke, her voice barely audible to Tyler Luo. Tyler Luo frowned, surprised at her words. No one had recognized him since he learned the skill of altering his facial muscles years ago after leaving Fenghuang City. But today, this woman recognized him with just one glance? In that instant, a flicker of murderous intent crossed Tyler Luo’s otherwise feigned passionate gaze. “You want to kill me?” Scarlett Qin, with her sharp intuition, sensed this immediately. Tyler Luo smiled, “I’m just surprised. But if you think those two bodyguards can save you before I act, you’re destined to be disappointed.” Scarlett Qin had no doubt about his words, “I’m curious, who are you exactly?” “Some things are better left unknown. Otherwise, it might invite unnecessary trouble. And sometimes, this trouble can be lethal,” Tyler Luo turned away, not facing her, and reached for a drink. Scarlett Qin didn’t mind, signaling her bodyguards to move further away. As Tyler Luo said, if he wanted to harm her, the bodyguards wouldn’t be able to stop him. But there was no clear reason for him to attack her, was there? Scarlett Qin, a bold and wise woman, now stood beside Tyler Luo, “Would you mind finding a place to have a proper chat?” “What to chat about? Flirting with you?” Tyler Luo looked up at the mature beauty in the cheongsam, inhaling her subtle fragrance, which easily stirred desires. But Scarlett Qin wasn’t offended by Tyler Luo’s attitude and said, “I’m actually quite interested in the power behind you.” “Why are you so sure there’s a power backing me?” Tyler Luo countered. “That’s because I’m not certain, and I want to probe you,” Scarlett Qin replied honestly, but was it really so? Tyler Luo remained silent, sipping his wine, “This wine is refreshing, especially since it’s free.” “At first, I thought there must be a powerful force behind you. But now, I feel you’re not afraid of our Chen Gang, not because of any power, but because you have absolute confidence in your own strength,” Scarlett Qin revealed her true intention. This confirmation from Scarlett Qin was important. She knew the extent of Chen Gang's influence in Fenghuang City, yet this man was unafraid of such a colossal entity, showing his immense self-confidence. Fortunately, Scarlett Qin didn’t know Tyler Luo’s true identity; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so surprised. “I think we can cooperate,” Scarlett Qin suddenly proposed. Tyler Luo was genuinely surprised, pausing to look at her, “What kind of cooperation do you think is possible between us?” “Your strength is immense, and I feel that indeed, you don’t have a force backing you. This is just my intuition. You intervened last time, trying to contact me, right? I don’t know your purpose yet, but it doesn’t hinder our cooperation,” Scarlett Qin said softly, treating it as a common matter. But Tyler Luo sensed her excitement, well-masked but not escaping his observation, “What kind of cooperation? Let’s hear it.” Tyler Luo had to acknowledge Scarlett Qin’s courage and wisdom. It took immense guts to propose cooperation with someone unclear and mysterious like him. Although she might have confidence in Chen Gang, making such a decision without fully understanding someone’s background often leads to fatal consequences. “I’m sorry, I can’t reveal it until you agree. It’s a matter of great importance,” Scarlett Qin played coy, her mature charm and stunning figure in the cheongsam making her irresistibly attractive to most men. A truly mature beauty, Tyler Luo couldn’t help but admire her inwardly.
