Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

As for why the lady stayed, both had already prepared themselves mentally.

It was evident that she was still somewhat nervous.

"What should I do..." she looked to Su Chen for help.

Su Chen saw the slightly panicked look in her eyes and smiled lightly, saying, "You don't need to do anything, just stay here for the night."

Of course, she knew that she would have to stay here tonight.

She was brought here this evening for that purpose.

"You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa, and you can leave tomorrow morning," Su Chen continued as he noticed her confusion.

The lady was struck by a dilemma.

Su Chen sleeping on the sofa?

What did that mean.

"Don't misunderstand, you are beautiful and attractive, but I know that coming here was not your intention. I wanted to refuse Horses' Fortune, but he told me if I did not accept you, he would send you to someone else, so... you understand what I mean, right?" Su Chen seemed to read her mind and spoke.

Did she understand his meaning?

It seemed like she somewhat did, yet at the same time, she didn't quite grasp it.

Her look was filled with perplexity.

She was not a foolish woman; otherwise, she couldn't possibly manage such a large bar.

However, at this moment, her mind was indeed muddled.

After being stunned for a long while, she finally caught on.

"Are you saying that you kept me here because you didn't want me to be sent to someone else?" she asked.

"One could see it that way," Su Chen nodded.

A slight thrill of victory rose in her heart.

It seemed that Su Chen did harbor some feelings for her.

"Actually... the boss has never touched me," she whispered softly.

"I know," Su Chen said.

"You know?" She stared at Su Chen with wide eyes.

Su Chen nodded, "Yes, I not only know he hasn't touched you, but also that no one else has, and I know the reason."

"What reason?" Clearly, she didn't know either.

But that was normal.

Horses' Fortune certainly couldn't tell her that he didn't touch her because she looked like his mother, right?

"Do you really want to know?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes," she nodded.

In fact, this question had troubled her for a long time.

Of course, for her, it was a good thing.

But then, curiosity killed the cat.

Claiming that Horses' Fortune was sentimental, that would utterly be fooling people.

Horses' Fortune was a person well-known to her and very understandable.

Absolutely ruthless and brutal.

For his own interests, he would sacrifice anything.

Rumor had it that he once had an elder sister.

To climb the ladder of success, he personally handed his own sister over to a powerful figure.

That incident indeed catalyzed his rise to his current status.

Thus, she was very aware that it could not be for that reason.

"Come here, I'll tell you," Su Chen said to her.

She walked over to his side.

Su Chen whispered a few words into her ear.

Hearing Su Chen's words, her beautiful eyes widened in shock.

So that was the reason!

The somewhat stiff atmosphere suddenly became lively.

They sat together on the sofa, chatting.

She leaned on Su Chen's shoulder, sharing her life story.

It turned out that before meeting Horses' Fortune, she also worked in a bar.

But back then, she was very young, only fourteen years old.

Fourteen years old, in Huaxia Country, is not yet considered an adult.

It qualifies as child labor.

Employing child labor is illegal.

But this place was not Huaxia; this was the lawless Jin San.

So, a fourteen-year-old girl working in a bar was all too common.

Moreover, if Horses' Fortune hadn't discovered her by chance, perhaps she would have already embarked on a path of no return.

She remembered it was her first day at work.

She was a bar waitress.

Because a customer took an interest in her, requesting her company to drink.

She was unwilling, yet was forcibly taken away by the customer.

At that time, many people were around.

Their gazes towards her were numb.

These kinds of incidents were too common here.

She thought that she was going to be mistreated by those bad people.

Then, Horses' Fortune appeared.

Horses' Fortune ten years ago, although not as accomplished as now, had made a name for himself.

Not only did he rescue her, but he also made that person kneel and apologize to her.

Having no parents since childhood, she lived a fostered life.

Shuffled between many places, enduring bullying, disdain, and eventually ending up as a bar waitress.

Years passed.

From fourteen, she grew to twenty-four.

She had seen too much.

And understood the character of Horses' Fortune.

Initially, she thought Horses' Fortune was a hero-like figure who helped her when she was most helpless.

But later, she realized.

Horses' Fortune was actually cruel and ruthless, unscrupulous in achieving his goals.

Yet she was still grateful to him.

Because if Horses' Fortune hadn't taken her away from the bar, she might now have…
