Chapter 1841: 442: Terrence Lentz: Is Suwen actually our leader?! _5

Playing hard to get?

How childish!

Who would have thought Mandel Thompson, a man in his thirties, would still engage in such antics.

Jean Beckman tossed her head back to arrange her long hair and, without so much as a glance at Mandel Thompson, walked to her usual spot and began to order.

On the other side.

After finishing dessert with Isla Astir, Mandel Thompson had to go back to work.

However, before that, he was going to drive Isla back to school.

Watching the two of them leave hand in hand, Jean smirked. Just as she suspected, Mandel only wanted to make an appearance in front of her. The moment he confirmed she had seen them together, he couldn’t wait to send Isla away.

After all, when you spend time with someone you don’t love, it’s only a matter of time before you slip up.

Isla’s school was nearby.

It only took ten minutes to get there.

Isla got out of the car as she opened the door.

"Miss Astir, wait a second," Mandel suddenly spoke up.

"What is it?"

From the compartment, Mandel took out a jewelry box, "This is for you."

A moment passed, then he added, "I hope our love will blossom and bear fruit."

"Thank you," Isla received the jewelry box.

Mandel raised his eyebrows slightly, "Open it and see if you like it."

Isla opened the box.

It was a trendy waist chain necklace popular nowadays.

Mandel said with a smile, "My secretary told me that all the girls like this these days."

"Um," Isla nodded, "I really like it."

"Then shall I put it on for you?"

"Sure," Isla replied and sat back in the passenger seat, lifting her hair for Mandel to help her with the necklace.

Soon, Mandel had put it on for her.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at Isla wearing the necklace he had bought.

"Well, I should get going."

Mandel nodded, "I’ll come to pick you up this evening."

"Alright," Isla cautioned him, "Drive safely on the road."

You can’t park here for long, so under Isla’s gaze, Mandel drove off.

"Isla!" At that moment, a roommate ran over from the other side.

"Novia," Isla smiled and looked up.

Curious, Novia asked, "Was that your boyfriend just now?"

"Mhm," Isla nodded.

Novia continued, "He drives an Audi."

Today, Mandel drove a regular Audi, just a little over 800,000 Dollars.

Novia, also a local from Capital City, wasn’t surprised, merely asking, "Is he from around here too?"

"Yes."

Wrapping an arm around Isla’s shoulder, Novia smiled, "Boys from Capital City are the most responsible. Isla, you better hold on tight."

"Mhm," Isla nodded, and then added, "Novia, what do you think makes a good gift for a guy?"

Mandel had given her a necklace, so she felt she should reciprocate.

Novia thought for a moment before responding, "What did he give you?"

Pointing to her necklace, Isla said, "This."

"A 30,000 Dollar Cartier. Maybe you could get him a belt or a watch," Novia suggested, knowing Isla wasn’t short on cash anyway.

Isla nodded.

Feeling her roommate’s suggestion was quite good.

--

In Frica.

Only half an hour left until the agreed time for the fight with J.

Viola Thompson changed into a set of light clothes and prepared to leave.

Nathaniel Besian, somewhat anxious, said, "Master, are you really going?"

"A gentleman’s word, fast as a steed," Viola’s tone was indifferent.

Nathaniel looked at Viola, "But you’re a lady!"

What’s the matter if a lady goes back on her word?

Viola smiled lightly, "I didn’t expect that coming from you, Bob."

"I mean it!" Nathaniel scratched his head.

"Master, seriously, let’s not go, okay?"

It wasn’t a big deal if Viola, a girl, acted capriciously now and then.

"No," Viola’s eyes were firm, "whether a gentleman or a lady, one should keep their word and fulfill their promises."

Nathaniel could only show a helpless expression.

Terrence Lentz was also ready on his side.

Gabrie, following behind him, said, "Third Master, remember our agreement - you must hold back and give me a chance to play the hero."

Terrence’s expression was unchanging, his eyes deep and impenetrable.

A moment later, his lips parted slightly, "Whether your beautiful damsel dares to show up is another matter."

There was a hint of mockery.

Gabrie himself wasn’t sure, "Since she challenged you, I think she’ll probably come, right?"

But in truth, how many girls would dare to face J alone?

Do they really think the title of Unbeaten War God is just for show?

Terrence didn’t say much more, simply asking, "Is the arena cleared?"

"It’s all set, don’t worry," Gabrie assured.

Terrence nodded slightly.

In short order, they arrived at the arena.

Viola and Nathaniel hadn’t arrived when they got there.

Gabrie glanced at his watch and felt nervous.

Suwen wouldn’t really be too scared to come, would she?

Without Suwen, how could he play the hero?

As he was pondering.

Footsteps suddenly echoed from behind.

Gabrie and Terrence were facing away from the entrance.

Thus, Nathaniel and Viola could only see their two silhouettes.

Seeing one of the prominent figures, Nathaniel frowned slightly and whispered in a hushed tone, "Master, is that tall one J?"

"Probably," Viola’s voice was light.

She had never seen J and couldn’t be certain.

Nathaniel added, "Why do I feel like... this silhouette seems familiar?"

As if he had seen it somewhere before.

Not just Nathaniel.

Even Viola found the silhouette all too familiar.

However, Viola quickly dismissed the thought.

And at that moment, Terrence turned slightly around.

Their eyes met, and in that fraction of a second, both he and Viola were stunned.

"Boss?!" Terrence never expected to see his company’s top leader show up.

Gabrie froze, his mouth forming an ’O’.

What did Third Master just call Suwen?

Boss?!

Was he hearing things?

Viola raised an eyebrow slightly, "J?"
