Chapter 204: Stay Alert

Nicholas frowned, his bodyguard beside him showed a furious face. "Our agreement has been made clear from the first call, finish your mission first then...."

However, before the bodyguard finished speaking, the mysterious man had drawn his knife right at his neck.

"Since when did the ants dare to speak in front of the lion?" After speaking like that, the bodyguard was already slammed and thrown at the wall.

He could only howl in pain while regretting his interference with his superior's affairs.

To be honest, he wasn't that weak himself, but his opponent was too great this time. He couldn't keep up with the speed at which he moved, so he got thrown at the wall.

'This guy is strong!'

Nicholas was sullen at first, but then he felt a little happy as he quickly said, "Fine, I'll pay half."

Shortly thereafter, his servant walked over to Nicholas and gave the mysterious man his cellphone.

"The password is 5640," Nicholas said. "Carry that cell phone on and when the time comes, I'll call you,"

"And..." Nicholas glared at the man. "I don't want you to disappear or not pick up when there's an incoming call. We won't let you get away if you betray us!"

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise. Just call me when the time comes," the man then left Nicholas's sight.

When the man left, Nicholas said to his servant, "Keep spreading this recruitment and look for the other assassins,"

"Understood."

The servant immediately walked out of the room, leaving Nicholas alone.

"Soon.... You will die soon!" Nicholas's gaze was engulfed with the fire of hatred.

......... ..

Ryan didn't know that the Kruger had started to go after him. He was still busy experimenting and no doubt, he failed yet again.

Since he was in a bad mood and felt his head dizzy, Ryan decided to get out of the building and get some fresh air.

The sunlight really felt good, he inhaled the fresh air deeply while strolling around. 

Putting aside the matter with potion X and other problems for a while, Ryan enjoyed the quiet moment alone. 

Without realizing it, he had walked quite a distance from the Avalerion company.

Ryan explored the city without thinking about anything, he really enjoyed this solitude.

But suddenly, a voice called him from behind.

"Ryan!"

When he turned his head, Ryan realized that it was Megan who had called him.

Megan waved with a sweet smile on her face. It seemed like she's happy to meet Ryan.

"What a coincidence," Ryan walked over to her and smiled back.

"What brings you here?" Megan asked in a cute tone.

"I was working too hard and my head felt like it was exploding, so I took a walk to get some fresh air," Ryan said, shaking his head.

Today, Megan wasn't as dressed up as usual. She only wore modest clothes. Her housewife image didn't look bad, Megan would definitely make a good wife someday.

"What about you?" Ryan asked in return.

"I was accompanying my mother shopping," Megan replied with a smile.

"What? Your mom is here too?" Ryan looked a little panicked.

"Yes," Megan nodded her head and saw Ryan who suddenly became tense.

"Then, I'll leave it first since I have other business," Ryan wanted to leave quickly, he couldn't stand Megan's mother for her questions and enthusiasm.

A mother's power when she tried matchmaking her child was truly terrifying!

"Meggie, help me with the things… Ah, Ryan!" 

But it was too late, Megan's mother's voice could already be heard from behind him.

Ryan turned and forced a smile. "Ah auntie, good afternoon. I happen to have work in this area and now it's time to return. So I'll go first,"

"Oh I see, it can't be helped then," Irene, Megan's mother, smiled at Ryan. "But didn't you promise to eat with us? How about we have lunch first? I will cook the best food you will ever eat,"

"Ah, auntie, don't bother."

"Oh come on, it's just once for a while. Do it for my daughter."

Seeing Ryan's gesture, Megan ventured herself. She held Ryan tightly while blushing.

Seeing Megan's action, Ryan looked at her with his eyebrows raised. It looked like this woman wanted him to accept her mother's invitation.

Ryan was doubtful and confused, but at this point, Irene had already given her shopping bag to her child. So that her left hand was holding a shopping bag and her right hand was holding Ryan's hand.

"Just come with us, you'll know how delicious my cooking is."

With a reluctant heart, Ryan obeyed and walked hand in hand with Megan.

Ryan peeked at Megan out of the corner of his eye, the woman looked happy when he walked with her.

Ryan was completely helpless, it seemed like running away was not a good choice.

Arriving home, Irene immediately got ready to cook.

"Meggie, you sit down with Ryan. Leave the kitchen to me."

Seeing Megan's mother getting busy in the kitchen, Ryan felt a little uneasy. "Doesn't your mother need help?"

"Just let her be," Megan quickly laughed when she saw Ryan's embarrassed face.

"By the way, you will have to help me later."

After putting her belongings, Megan sat next to Ryan.

"I can't help you too much, it all depends on what you need me to do."

"At least please tell what questions she will ask," Ryan smiled bitterly. Irene really saw him as her son-in-law, especially after he was caught kissing her child outside her house.

"Her question shouldn't be that hard so there shouldn't be a problem," Megan said, trying to calm Ryan down.

Ryan reached out and held Megan's two hands, he then said in a serious tone, "We can only go through this together."

"You're just too much, it's not like we're going to a war," Megan said with a laugh.

Irene was about to take the plates when she happened to see her daughter holding hands with Ryan. The sight made her happy.

She really liked her future son-in-law, she had to acknowledge Megan's ability to find a good husband.

"Meggie, go get Ray some snacks to eat first," Irene said while returning to the kitchen.

Ray?

In an instant, Ryan shivered as if he was in the north pole and his body could not stop shaking for a while.

Not even his grandfathers called him with such a cute nickname.

Seeing Ryan's reaction, Megan laughed. "It's your own fault for calling me Meggie, so now that you have your own 'cute' nickname, don't blame me,"

Ryan felt so helpless. "That's…. Not the same,"

Could the two even be compared? After all, Megan was Irene's child so it was natural for her to give her that kind of nickname, But him? This made Ryan dizzy.

Shortly thereafter, Irene called them both for lunch.

When he arrived at the dining table, Ryan was surprised when he saw the luxurious meal served in front of him. There were almost ten kinds of cuisines such as chicken shawarma, baked lemon garlic salmon, shrimp pasta, sweet and sour carp, prawn spring rolls, etc. Ryan could not hold back his saliva at all, the smell was just  really delicious!

"Come on,  sit down and don't hesitate. Meggie, get him the fork and spoon," Irene invited Ryan to sit down.

Ryan then sat down and received a cutlery from Megan. The woman then sat beside him.

He just stared at these delicious foods and since he was a guest, he was reluctant to take the food first.

"Meggie, give him the pasta," Irene said as she kicked her daughter's leg.

While enduring the pain, Megan brought the dishes for Ryan. The man himself was worried, he could only follow the host's wish.

"Let's eat. It's hard to make this food, you know," Irene smiled and put the food on Ryan's plate.

'Wow, this much?' Ryan's face twitched, it seemed that this mother wanted to captivate his heart through food.

Seeing Ryan overwhelmed, Megan could only laugh.

Irene then looked at Ryan, frowning. "Why don't you eat? Do you not like my cooking?"

"Ah? No, no, your cooking is really delicious," Ryan quickly picked up his fork and began to eat. He realized that Irene was looking at him with a smile, and that smile was really terrible.

"Ouch, auntie, don't keep looking at me, you also eat it," Ryan said.

Irene just shook her head and said with a smile. "Ray, how is your relationship with Meggie? Have you two made any progress? Have you had sex?"

Ryan almost vomited the food he was chewing.

"Cough, cough!" Ryan choked while Megan's face turned completely red as she blushed hard.

This old woman really didn't know how to filter her words!

Ryan considered himself very thick-skinned, but it seemed that this one housewife had thicker skin than him.

In the presence of beautiful women, the word "shame" would never exist in Ryan's dictionary. However, being in front of Megan's mother made him a little embarrassed.
