The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

"No way. Fiona and Andrew are pretty old. No way that the four of them failed to snatch the goods.”

Xena frowned when she heard that. She walked over t o take a look.

At the sight, her face contorted in disgust-because there was no pouch in sight.

"Useless! Four men and they couldn't rob an old couple?"

Young Master Harvey's expression hardened. He did not look very pleased.

Although three million bucks was not much to him, he never liked failing in anything he did.

"It looks like there are three bikes, but an extra passenger is riding on one of them!"

One of the men exclaimed when they came closer into view.

The bikes zoomed forward. The people were full of distrust. Five men came down from the bikes.

"Bo-boss..."

One of the men had lacerations on his forehead; blood streaked his face.

He ran over to Young Master Harvey. "We-we didn’t manage to get the goods," he said, terror laced in

his

voice. "We fell into a trap!"

"Useless!"

Young Master Harvey threw a vicious kick at the man. Then he noticed Fane. "Who’s this punk?" he

asked his four men.

"Fa-Fane? Why are you here?"

Xena's eyes flickered; her expression morphed into one of a horrified surprise.

She had already thought everything through. She needed to find a way to get money for herself. Even if

she did not marry Young Master Harvey in the future, i t did not matter so long as she had money of her

own and could live a comfortable life.

If that did not work out, she still could marry Ben, in spite of the trash he was. Or she could leave the

city b y herself, start anew in another place.

She never thought that Fane would actually come.

This was a clear indicator that he had seen through her ruse.

"You know him?"

Young Master Harvey was stunned, "Why does the name Fane sound familiar?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Young Master Harvey, this punk is a skilled fighter, and he is a bodyguard for the Drakes. He’s also

Selena's husband, and Ben's brother-in-law!"

Xena immediately said to Young Master Harvey.

"Heh. A skilled fighter? How skilled, exactly?"

Young Master Harvey flashed a sardonic smile. "Oh, so this is the good-for-nothing who leeched off his

wife," he said. "I remember you telling me that this punk practically destroyed the Taylors. If not for him,

Selena would never have been kicked out of the Taylors. What a shame. That beauty was snagged by

such a swine!"

Here, he stretched his limbs lazily. "I heard that Selena is very attractive," he said, expression teasing."

It's a pity that I don't take interest in women who are married and have had a kid. I probably would like

to fool around with her if she wasn't married!

"You beat up the four of them, eh, punk? Not bad!"

A grunt quirked his lips into a mirthless smile.

"The punk didn't really beat us. But he must be pretty skilled anyway. He managed to take hold of our

bikes and flip them over. Who knows what would have happened if the bikes didn’t fall!"

One of the men who was injured spoke up, trying to defend his dignity.

"I’ve never expected that you would mix around with such vermin, Xena. Plotting to steal money from

Father and Mother? Heh. How dumb can you get!"
