Just as the party atmosphere was at its peak, a Subaru Outback silently pulled up on the outskirts of the crowd, the car door opened, and Emily stepped out.
She had clearly dressed up for the party, shedding her usual professional work attire.
She wore a pair of slim-fitting jeans and a figure-hugging white cashre sweater, highlighting the healthy and powerful curves of her body.
In her hand, she carried a bottle of fine Whiskey, with a polite yet distant smile on her face as she congratulated Old George.
Lin Yu'an's gaze t hers from afar for a fleeting mont.
Emily appeared calm as water, as if they were just nodding acquaintances.
But Lin Yu'an read a hint of complex emotion, only he could decipher, from the depths of her serene blue eyes.
Emily naturally blended into the party, being the town's only vet, she was familiar with everyone.
She chatted and laughed with the won from the neighboring houses, occasionally casting a glance, intentionally or not, towards Lin Yu'an who was surrounded by the n.
She was observing how the status of the man, with whom she recently had the most primal entanglent, had changed in the community.
Midway through the party, Lin Yu'an went to get more beer, temporarily leaving the lively bonfire.
He walked into Old George's cabin, taking several packs of chilled beer from the fridge.
When he turned to leave, he found Emily standing at the kitchen doorway, blocking his path without him realizing when she had arrived there.
The kitchen was dimly lit, with only the glow from the living room bonfire shining in from outside, outlining an alluring silhouette on her.
"Congratulations, the hero who helped Old George fulfill his dream."
Emily's voice was light, with a hint of imperceptible teasing: "It seems you've completely conquered this group of tough guys."
Lin Yu'an didn't speak, just quietly looked at her, he could sll a faint scent of perfu mixed with the smoke from the bonfire on her body.
"They've accepted you, treating you as one of the community."
Emily stepped forward, instantly closing the distance between them, making the atmosphere sowhat ambiguous and dangerous.
"But I know what you are."
"What am I?" Lin Yu'an's voice held so confusion.
"There's a more dangerous, more composed beast hidden in your bones."
"Even though you appear calm and composed, with the face of a good kid, I know that when you encounter sothing tricky, your first thought is destruction."
Emily's words made him fall into contemplation, he looked at the woman in front of him who had regained her composure, no longer the panicked person she was that day.
Since his rebirth, from trembling fear to gradually trying to use the Golden Finger, discovering his physique and Sixth Sense enhancent.
His inner emotions and desires, or rather wildness, have also been continuously amplified! Most directly manifested in slaughter and desire.
Lin Yu'an realized this issue when he encountered those three poaching blacks, countless tis wanting to imdiately shoot them, but he forcibly restrained himself.
He once read an article mainly about even if you possess power, rights, your ntal state naturally changes.
It is controlled by genes, your genes feel your current strength is enough to reap more, so it's not just talk that the young dragon slayer eventually becos an Evil Dragon...
And Emily also raised this matter, making him have to deal with it cautiously.
As he imagines what he will beco with more power and money in the future, no one knows.
The only thing he can do is stay true to his heart, continuously adapt and adjust to his ever-growing power, and control his emotions and desires to not beco a madman!
Most importantly, he must take on family responsibilities; this might be one of the few things that can suppress emotions and desires.
Emily's blue eyes stared directly at Lin Yu'an and continued: "I will never forget the look in your eyes that night, you really thought about killing , right?"
Lin Yu'an was silent for a mont, finally nodding: "I did."
This honest answer, ironically, made Emily breathe a sigh of relief.
Her lips curled into a self-deprecating smile: "Thanks for your honesty, at least it proves you're not a complete hypocrite."
She stepped closer again, almost touching Lin Yu'an, whispering in a voice only they could hear: "Want to co to my cabin tonight to watch Bitcoin's rise together?"
"No need to check, it's definitely not yet sixty thousand US Dollars." Lin Yu'an said.
Just then, Stan's loud voice ca from outside: "Hey! Lin! Did the beer get stolen by a snowman? We're dying of thirst here!"
Emily quickly stepped back, returning to her polite and distant expression, she winked at Lin Yu'an and turned to walk out of the kitchen.
Lin Yu'an grabbed the beer and returned to the lively bonfire.
He distributed the beer to everyone, once again being drawn into the enthusiastic conversation.
He tried to temporarily put the conversation he had with Emily out of his mind, raising the beer bottle and laughing loudly with the tough guys beside him, drinking heartily.
Yet, the corner of his eye invariably drifted towards Emily's direction.
He saw her chatting with several mistresses from the neighboring houses, her deanor elegant, her smile appropriate, as if the woman with the provocative gaze just now was just his Illusion.
