Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Hero Saves the Beauty

Aurelia Shaw’s eyes narrowed coldly, but before she could make a move, a shadow flickered in front of her. A tall figure suddenly loomed above, shielding her completely.

A low, familiar groan came from overhead.

Aurelia frowned, lifted her chin, and looked up. The cold, handsome face hovering above entered her line of vision. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and a cold gleam flashed instinctively through her eyes. However, she quickly noticed something was wrong.

Mason Nightshade’s brows furrowed, his eyes as cold and sharp as a blade. He stood in front of Aurelia Shaw with his back to her, his broad chest completely shielding her 1.7-meter frame from view. One hand protected the back of her head, while the other hand covered her head. Crimson blood seeped through the sleeve of his white shirt, dripping down his slender fingers and splattering below.

"Hiss—," a gasp of shock echoed around the scene.

Titan Jennings was the first to come to his senses. His expression changed drastically, and he hurried over in a panic, "Mr. Nightshade... how did you get here? Your arm... quick, call an ambulance!"

Mason Nightshade nonchalantly waved a hand, casting a sidelong glance at Dovina, who was pinned to the ground with her wrists held by Alexander. His deep-sea-like eyes were icy, as if hiding a sharp arrow aimed at her. Dovina shivered deeply, her consciousness returning. Faced with the situation, she wished she could feign madness to slip through this.

Mason Nightshade clearly wasn’t going to give her that chance. His voice was low and calm, without any fluctuations of anger, yet it gave a chilling feeling like someone had recklessly touched the bottom line of this dark overlord. He asked quietly, "Your name?"

Dovina shivered again, trembling beneath her costume and unable to speak for a long time.

"Answer the question!" Alexander pushed her, increasing the grip on her wrists so tightly it felt like they might break.

Dovina let out a piercing scream, unable to support herself with her hands, she banged her head against the ground, sobbing and begging, "Mr. Nightshade, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

Her head banged "bang bang" against the ground, the already bloody wounds now bleeding profusely, covering half her face mixed with dirt, making her look like a hideous ghost.

Mason Nightshade frowned in disgust, giving her a cold glance as if unwilling to look a second time, and looked away indifferently.

Lowering his gaze, his slightly lowered eyes looked tenderly at the cold little face of the girl in his arms, her long lashes casting a shadow on her pale, bloodless face, masking the emotions in her beautiful eyes.

Mason Nightshade’s eyes deepened, his voice rich and gentle as he softly asked, "Are you hurt?"

Aurelia Shaw was unsure if it was her illusion, but why did she feel Mason Nightshade’s tone was so... gentle?

No!

The moment this thought surfaced, Aurelia Shaw dismissed it.

With an inward mocking smile, she stepped back coldly, her demeanor distant, her voice also detached and polite. She thanked insincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Nightshade, for your help, but you should tend to your injury first. I’m fine."

The warmth in his arms suddenly disappeared, and Mason Nightshade’s lips moved as if wanting to say something, but Aurelia Shaw interrupted him.

Her almond-shaped eyes turned icy as she looked at everyone, speaking in a deep voice, "This matter already constitutes intentional harm, report it to the police."

"No way!"

Titan Jennings shouted.

Realizing his overly intense reaction had drawn curious looks from others, Titan Jennings feigned calmness and explained, "Filming hasn’t been going on for more than two months, and first there was an actor accident, now there’s a conflict between actors. What will the media speculate about us?"

"We’re currently in a sensitive period of promoting the show, and if this gets out, it will affect the broadcast and bring negative impact to the show. It’s not a big deal, just a small actor causing trouble; it can be settled privately, no need to involve the police."

"Mr. Nightshade, what do you think?" Titan Jennings spoke at length and then looked at Mason Nightshade with a fawning expression.

Instantly, all eyes focused on the silent Mason Nightshade, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Aurelia Shaw also lifted her eyelids slightly, looking at him indifferently.
