Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Chapter 29 The Scent of Blood

Lela came in from the backyard, holding a bandage in her hand. As she looked up, she saw Sylvester sitting on the couch while Michael sat beside him. Sylvester's eyes were full of hostility.

Michael couldn't understand, "Could it be that The X Spirits want to quit? They don't want to take the job even at such a high price? Are they not interested anymore?" He couldn't figure out why Lady Phoenix wouldn't take the order. Could it be that difficult?

Feeling a gaze directed towards him, Sylvester looked up and saw Lela standing by the door to the backyard, innocently looking in their direction.

He leaned back in his seat and beckoned her with his hand.

"Lela, come here."

Lela obediently walked over.

Sylvester reached out and pulled her into his arms, asking, "Where did you go?" As soon as he spoke, he caught a whiff of blood.

Sylvester lowered his gaze, his eyes turning icy. He grabbed Lela's left hand and looked at the blood-soaked bandage. The crimson blood was still wet.

He took a deep breath.

"What happened?"

Lela sighed silently, realizing her mistake. She should have let Watson take away that bandage. Lela decided to switch to a more coquettish approach and threw the bloodied bandage away. She sought comfort.

She threw herself into Sylvester's arms, looking extremely aggrieved. Charlie came downstairs wearing his casual attire and witnessed this scene. Had this foolish pretty girl already developed such a relationship with his brother? He walked over to Michael and murmured, "What's going on? Is she my brother's girlfriend?"

The corners of Michael 's mouth twitched. How could he explain?

Michael shook his head and said, "Master Charlie, I don't really understand their relationship. You should ask Mr. Gomez."

He couldn't possibly say that this girl is a Mutant, right?

Seeing the little one look so aggrieved for the first time, Sylvester's heart ached a little. He asked gently, "Tell me, what happened?" A rare touch of tenderness in his tone.

Charlie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He reached out and tugged at Michael, whispering, "My brother...is he really being gentle?"

What could he say?

So far, it seems that the boss is only gentle with Miss Lela. As for him, he is still fierce. Lela rubbed against his chest, raised her eyes, and then pointed to the backyard. Afraid that he wouldn't understand, she took his hand and led him towards the path.

Michael, the foolish one, wanted to follow but was stopped by Charlie. He raised his hand and hooked arms with Michael acting like they were good buddies. "Michael, I've been lying down for too long these days. Come with me and stretch our muscles."

"But, sir..."

"That has nothing to do with you, "Charlie looked down on him. Didn't he see that his brother was showing affection right now? What does he have to do with it? But Michael was here to protect the boss!

Lela pulled Sylvester to the spot in the backyard where she had just been standing with Doctor Watson. Along the pathway, there was a stone embedded, about the size of a cooking pot, but it was covered by overgrown grass. If you walked quickly, you wouldn't see it and could stumble.
