Chapter 261: Where Have You Been?

However, Mikhail tried to catch up with him.

"Wait!"

Actually, Mikhail still felt guilty about it. He felt he owed his life to him for getting wrongly kidnapped. "At least let me walk you off as an apology,"

Ryan could sense the sincerity of Mikhail's apology. This young man in front of him was really good, so he agreed.

Seeing Ryan agreeing, Mikhail took his luxury car and Ryan sat beside the driver's seat.

"Hugo, go home on foot, think about what you've done." 

These words of his young master made Hugo stop himself from opening the back door of the car.

Seeing the luxury car slowly disappearing, Hugo felt helpless. He then spoke into his headset. "Team 2 is closely watching the young master but don't let your whereabouts be discovered."

Not long after, a car picked him up. He went in with a terrible face.

In the car, Mikhail looked excited while driving. "By the way, I haven't introduced myself. My name is..."

"Mikhail, your name is Mikhail," Ryan said in a flat tone.

"Oh? How do you know?" Mikhail was quite surprised. Come to think of it, how could this man— ah, it should have been the kidnappers who gave him his name.

"My name is Ryan."

Mikhail looked excited when he said, "You were amazing when you defeated my strong guard earlier."

Ryan didn't look at all. Facing a small fly like Hugo was not amazing for him, he had already killed thousands of Hugo before.

That was the greatness of Nergal the God of War, so the more corpses piling under his feet, the more famous his name became.

Therefore, Ryan was too lazy to reply to Mikhail's praise.

Mikhail didn't stop babbling even though Ryan didn't seem excited at all. He then told him a story. 

"My bodyguard Hugo is originally good at martial arts, but I didn't expect there would still be someone stronger than him. I've always been in awe of strong people, so I hope we can become friends."

Become friends?

Ryan ran out of words, he then shook his head. "No need,"

He had no interest in making friends with rich people or influential families. His own hands were full and befriending someone like them would just put him in a difficult situation. He believed that this friendship offering was never free to begin with. 

The guy must demand him something back.

Of course, his hands were full because he had to use them to touch his wife or Valerie or Christina or other angels every day!

His life journey to build his own harem was still long.

Upon hearing Ryan's refusal, Mikhail was quite surprised. "Ah, you might be someone who doesn't really like socializing huh? Then, I will consider you my brother,"

Ryan sighed. He then turned to Mikhail and said in a serious tone, "I don't need a brother."

"... .."

Mikhail felt embarrassed for a moment, why did he suggest something stupid?

To be honest, Mikhail just wanted to be friends with Ryan. He was not stupid, he could see clearly that Ryan was a strong person. After knowing that, how could he let go of a potential 'shield' like him?

However, Ryan was not interested in him at all.

Along the way, Mikhail didn't stop talking. But Ryan did not listen to what he said. Finally, the luxury car stopped in front of the Avalerion company.

When Ryan opened the door, Mikhail said to himself, "Leave me your phone number."

However, the man just slammed the car door and walked into the building.

Mikhail shook his head with a sigh. "Ah… If only I were a girl then I would be able to persuade him. Too bad that much power left my hands,"

...…

Without further ado, Ryan headed straight for his room.

At this moment, his body was still in a stable state. The mysterious power within his body was also stable. Maybe because of Irina's feminine energy that he received from the intercourse with her made his mysterious power not rebelling against him.

However, Ryan's view of his mysterious power had changed. At first, he thought that this mysterious power was a weight gnawing on his body slowly. However, on his trip to Japan, he found out how extraordinary his mysterious power was.

He could safely say that if he managed to control it, then he would be invincible. The first time he tasted this forbidden fruit was in Golge's dungeon. With the help of this mysterious energy, he managed to remove the poison in his body and opened the nuclear-resistant door.

The second time was when he fought Helos and Ashur. At first, he was very overwhelmed by the two strongmen. But with the help of that mysterious power, he felt an abundance of energy continuously pouring out of his body.

Since returning to Crimea, Ryan had been thinking about how to deal with this mysterious force in his body. If he could control it properly, becoming number 1 in the world was no mere dream.

Even though he had the medicine from his third grandfather, it could only control the power when it rebelled rather than tamed them. The potion X he made had really little effect on it, so it could be said that there hadn't been any major breakthroughs yet. If he could completely control this mysterious power, maybe he could have the ultimate move.

However, he had no way of making it happen. The potion X that he had now couldn't help him much.

Still, the potion was a breakthrough when it was successfully produced by Yasmin and her team after experimenting a thousand times. Could a little direction and more effort for the development of this potion help him tame his mysterious power later?

This idea kept ringing in Ryan's mind. The temptation to absorb that much power made him excited.

Ryan was still thinking hard while lowering his head, but suddenly Valerie approached him.

"Ryan..." Valerie looked shy and called him softly.

This month, Valerie had never stopped looking for Ryan all day long. However, her attempts always ended in failure. She had been longing for him ever since he left the company for a whole month.

During her lonely moment, Valerie lost her appetite and prayed that nothing happened to Ryan. She was very worried that Ryan's sudden disappearance was because the guy had been fired, so Valerie went to HRD to confirm. Hearing that HRD itself did not know anything about Ryan, her heart became even more anxious.

Seeing Ryan's figure arriving at the office made Valerie's heart relieved.

"What's wrong?" Ryan raised his head and looked at Valerie with a smile. Today, Valerie's clothes were not as revealing as usual. In fact, the clothes she wore had a fresh impression, quite nice to see. However, with his superhuman eyesight, he could still see Valerie's striking underwear.

"Ryan... Where have you been all this time?" Valerie said in a low voice and sounded sad.

Ryan suddenly realized what he had done and panicked.

"I'm sorry I didn't give you any news. I had some work to do outside so I didn't have time to notify you," Ryan immediately apologized. He then took Valerie's hand. "Let me make up for our lost time,"

What he meant by making up for their lost time was of course exchanging kisses or so! Feeling Ryan's hand holding her ass, Valerie blushed.

"Then, you can take me out to dinner today," Valerie said with a red face.

She took the courage to take a step. She really loved Ryan but they never did more than just kiss. She was afraid that their relationship would just end without any fruit. She was very afraid that Ryan would leave her.

Ryan then smiled at her. "Okay, today we will have dinner together."

Hearing his promise, Valerie's face brightened again and smiled. After chatting for a while, the girl finally returned to work.

Seeing Valerie return to being cheerful as she left him, Ryan took a deep breath. He could still smell Valerie's fragrant perfume.

Even though Valerie was shy, apparently she didn't want to give up on him. Once she fell in love, she would chase the man she loved even to the ends of the earth. That's what Ryan felt from her.

Therefore, how could he leave such a beautiful and loyal woman?

Of course, when it came to intercourse, it's only a matter of time. He would make Valerie's body unable to forget him.

Time was running fast. Ryan worked hard all day but the potion X still made no progress. He was so annoyed that he wanted to destroy this laboratory. However, the level and equipment this company had was not sufficient. He should have left the matter of potion X to Yasmin from the start.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Ryan decided to keep his laboratory. After all, if he wasn't developing potion X, he could still move these workers to the perfume department.
