Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

The large wild park in Greafury City was beautiful, and the scent of grass filled the air as they walked along.

But Lela still felt a tightness in her chest. Sylvester didn't like her pretending to be strong, so he simply held her tightly.

Being embraced by Sylvester, Lela's internal unease gradually dissipated, but she still felt a lingering sense of dread, as if she sensed something about to happen.

At that moment, roars of wild beasts could be heard from the trees on both sides.

Lela trembled, clutching Sylvester's hand even more firmly.

The bodyguards positioned behind them, upon hearing the noises, immediately assumed a defensive stance, gripping their lightweight pistols and scanning their surroundings. Mildred fixated her eagle eyes on the surroundings, fearful that something unfavorable might suddenly emerge.

They were all rigorously trained and possessed strong abilities in sensing danger and swiftly engaging in combat.

They had also experienced countless life-and-death situations with Mr. Gomez, so their performance was particularly disciplined.

Sylvester...

Thinking it was the roar of these fierce beasts that scared Lela, Sylvester no longer hugged her tightly.

Instead, he lifted her up and held her like a little bear, providing her with the greatest sense of security in his chest.

"Don't be afraid, little one, I'm here. As long as I'm here, no one can harm you."

With these words, he gently patted her back and continued walking forward, with each step exuding tenderness and affection.

Lela faced Sylvester, her hands wrapped around him, her feet naturally hanging down by his side, and her chin resting on his shoulder. She wasn't actually scared, she just felt that peculiar and familiar sensation.

Suddenly, she felt something and looked around the surrounding woods.

However, apart from the howls of the beasts and the birds that flew out of the forest in surprise, she didn't see anything. Sylvester continued to comfort her gently, "What's wrong?"

Lela shifted her gaze back and kissed Sylvester's neck, her voice muffled, "Sylvester, this place feels strange to me." "Do you want to go back?"

Sylvester whispered in Lela's ear, "If you're scared, we can leave and not play anymore."

No emotion of his precious girl was more important than anything else.

Lela took a deep breath and shook her head, "No."

Sylvester chuckled softly, "Then don't be scared later."

Lela's little head leaned against Sylvester's neck as she murmured, "Hmm," her thoughts unknown.

No one knew that as the group passed by, a quick shadow flashed through the forest.

As they continued on, their surroundings became wider, and in the distance, there was an imposing and grand platform. Around the platform, there were dense metal fences that even the incredible biting force of the beasts couldn't break. The platform was large and exuded an air of luxury.

The high-ranking executives, heirs of influential families, and socialites engaged in conversations with one another. Despite the considerable number of people, it didn't appear congested.

While it was labeled as a gathering, it was essentially a hub for resource exchange.

That's why many people in the entertainment industry are willing to attend such events.

These are all investors, and pleasing just one could lead to substantial resources.

Josh Fudge hailed from a privileged background and had talents of his own. Being on the Forbes list, it was only natural for him to partake in the event.

Consequently, this time, in addition to heirs of influential families, there were also numerous attractive celebrities from the entertainment industry who possessed both the appearance and demeanor of the upper class. Jiang Wenxu saw Sylvester and Lela from afar and called out, "Master Sylvester."

Upon hearing this, the people on the platform gradually quieted down and looked in the direction of Sylvester, showing a visible degree of reverence.

Josh Fudge had been interested in befriending the rumored Master Sylvester, so when he saw his figure, he personally came over to greet him.

Master Sylvester arrived, and Tang rushed to meet him.

Then he noticed the girl in Sylvester's arms, and Josh Fudge smirked and asked, "Who is this little girl?"

Sylvester put Lela down, and her breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before everyone.

Josh Fudge had seen many beauties in his life, but he had never seen such a stunning girl.

She had the innocence and fragrance of a young girl, yet also possessed an enchanting charm.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

A flicker of irritation crossed Sylvester's eyes. "Mr. Tang, do you have trouble with your vision? When someone is unwell, they require care. Watch your step, as their condition may deteriorate in an instant." His words carried a threatening undertone.

Josh Fudge didn't dare to confront him directly and awkwardly replied, "I was being impolite."
