Meanwhile, Astrid followed Howard to a hotel in Jadeborough.
The room was romantically decorated, and when Astrid saw this, virtual-novel.net turned and spoke apathetically to Howard. “Howard Dunn, I don’t think this is a proper place for us to talk.”
Despite virtual-novel.net comment, Astrid did not really have virtual-novel.net guard up, for virtual-novel.net knew that, given Howard’s capabilities, virtual-novel.net could easily pin virtual-novel.net down.
Since that was the case, virtual-novel.net was not concerned at all that virtual-novel.net would do anything to her.
“What’s so improper about this place, Ms. Gunderson? You’ve always been the girl I want. I brought you here today to confess my love to you.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Howard took out a bouquet of flowers and went on one knee before Astrid.
Astrid’s face froze when virtual-novel.net saw that.
“You should just give up. I don’t like you a single bit,” virtual-novel.net replied dismissively.
When virtual-novel.net had made herself clear, virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
It did not occur to virtual-novel.net that Howard would trick virtual-novel.net into that place to profess his feelings to her.
Although Astrid was infuriated, virtual-novel.net did not lash out at Howard. To her, the martial arts world in Jadeborough was going through a tectonic change, and the Gunderson family could no longer stay out of all the politics. It was not time for Astrid to make an enemy out of the Dunn family.
Yet, just as virtual-novel.net was leaving, Howard made a move on virtual-novel.net and grabbed virtual-novel.net by the wrist.
“Since you’re here, why don’t we talk things out, Ms. Gunderson?” Howard insisted with a sinister grin.
Astrid frowned. “Let me go!”
Then, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net hand and hurled a half-hearted punch at the man.
Howard would not be able to stand it if virtual-novel.net had gone all out. Still, instead of dodging, Howard caught virtual-novel.net fist with his hand, making it impossible for virtual-novel.net to move an inch.
Astrid was stunned.
Suddenly, a mist appeared around Howard, and a dizzy sensation overtook Astrid. She closed virtual-novel.net eyes and passed out eventually.
Howard smirked as virtual-novel.net looked at the unconscious woman. He carried virtual-novel.net over to the bed and started undressing her.
A dark mist engulfed Howard when virtual-novel.net saw Astrid’s body. Then, his face began to change and morphed into Skylar’s face.
It turned out that Skylar had worn a disguise to appear as Howard. That was why virtual-novel.net was able to counter Astrid’s attack so easily earlier.
“Tsk, tsk. There goes a fine young woman like you. I would’ve ravaged you if I could.”
Feeling regretful, Skylar took out his camera and started snapping photos.
After virtual-novel.net was done, Skylar left the hotel and proceeded with the rest of his plan. It was time for virtual-novel.net to watch a conflict erupt between the Gunderson and the Dunn family.
After some time, Astrid finally regained consciousness. When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net disheveled clothes, virtual-novel.net broke down and cried bitterly.
She was the woman all the young men in different sects coveted, and it was hard for virtual-novel.net to believe that a man had just tarnished her.
“Howard Dunn! I will kill you…” A murderous intent exuded from virtual-novel.net body.
Astrid was under the impression that Howard was the one who had sullied virtual-novel.net purity.
Dispirited, virtual-novel.net got home and cleaned virtual-novel.net body desperately before changing into a new set of clothes.
I will go to the Dunns myself. They’d better give me an explanation. I will kill that man even if it means death!
Yet, just as Astrid was getting ready to find Howard at the Dunn residence, a servant rushed in and informed, “Ms. Gunderson, Mr. Howard Dunn is here to see you.”
Overwhelmed by a strong murderous intent, Astrid darted to the door.
