"But we don’t have money now, so we'll have to wait for two months before buying a house,” Selena spoke, seemingly approving Fane’s idea. "You already gave two thousand as a bride-price to Ma, so you don't have to give anything anymore. What’s left is Grandfather's birthday gift and the ten-million compensation to Ivan. I've got an idea: Since you're on excellent terms with Miss Tanya, perhaps you could ask her to give you your first month’s salary a few days earlier than the actual payday. Problem solved!" 3
She paused for a moment, caught up in her thoughts, before adding, "Wait till you get another month's salary, then we'll go and scout for villas. It's not like w e can't stay here for now."
"I don't think we can stay here, though!
"Kylie doesn't have a room to herself, and you definitely won't allow me to touch you!"
Fane was firm in his decision as he spoke, "I'll go and see if there are any suitable houses for us when I have the time. We’ll see after we've set our eyes on something."
"Your job is pretty free and easy, huh?"
Selena did not know whether to laugh or cry. She felt like Fane was being a rather irresponsible bodyguard, getting off work early when he had personal errands t
o run. There were probably no other jobs that were as easy-going as this in the world.
The couple quietly chattered among themselves. Eventually, they drifted off to sleep as the night thickened.
The next morning, Selena jolted awake and told her husband to get up, afraid that their daughter would see him on the bed. Only then did she wake Kylie up. 1
The two quickly set off to go about their separate routines for the day.
In the Drake family's estate, James, Spectre Face, and Tanya were all utterly stupefied by last night's events.
There were 300 Eagle clanmates who came, and each o f them was powerful fighters in their own right. One of them had been the Eagle Clan's top fighter, too. His fighting prowess was comparable to that of a general, yet he had perished under Fane's indescribable power.
They came to check on the corpses the moment Fane left. More specifically, the 300 odd ones who Fane had killed with a wave of his hand. 1
