Chapter 288: 10.29

"A—Ah! Slower, Master Long Zhen! You are too rough!"

"Slower? But your body wants more and harder. You can't handle it?"

"But it really hurts!"

"Okay, okay, I will be gentle," Long Zhen said while applying essential oil at James Grind's back. Long Zhen tried to lower the pressure on his hand and massaged James Grind's back carefully.

"You are the one who insisted on training with me," Long Zhen sighed. He already refused to spar with James Grind, but James Grind insisted that he was a fighter and Long Zhen should be careful.

"T—That is because I thought we are on par! Master Long Zhen is a meanie!" James Grind whined while holding the pain on his back. True, he was the first one to initiate the sparring. Because he thought he was on par with Long Zhen.

Who would've thought that not only he was far weaker than Long Zhen? He also found out that Long Zhen's gentle 'play' could result in the death for a regular man. When Long Zhen kicked his back lightly, James Grind felt that his back might have cracked.

It would result in death for regular people, but James Grind was still a skilled fighter nonetheless, so he just got bruised instead.

James Grind wanted to ask someone to apply essential oil to heal his bruise faster, but Long Zhen got overly protective when thinking about someone else seeing James Grind's beautiful body.

Thus, the mafia crime lord was now massaging James Grind while getting scolded by the said assassin.

"Ahh! Master Long Zhen, it hurts so much!"

"Damn this! I will never let Master Long Zhen play with me again!"

"Master Long Zhen, yes, that spot, Master! It feels so good!"

The bodyguards outside the training ground could hear everything, and they inevitably blushed when they heard James Grind's sweet voice. It was fascinating and seductive at the same time.

Long Zhen suddenly remembered few bodyguards outside that could definitely hear James Grind's moan and groan. Long Zhen hurriedly rushed outside and slammed the wall.

"ALL OF YOU!"

The bodyguards jolted when their Master suddenly came out, ready to devour them. "Y—Yes, Master Long Zhen!"

"LEAVE NOW BEFORE I SKIN YOU ALL!"

The bodyguards nodded and ran away as fast as possible from the training ground. They knew how scary and real Long Zhen's threat could be. Long Zhen returned back to pouty James Grind. Long Zhen's face became gentle once more, and he sat beside James Grind, who laid on his stomach.

"I have to take care of my subordinates. I don't want them to hear your moan. Did I infuriate you?" Long Zhen asked gently.

"No, but my back still hurts," James Grind complained. He wiggled around, trying to crack his sore back, which Long Zhen prevented by holding James Grind's shoulder.

"You are still hurting. I will order my subordinate to bring me the most potent oil to heal you, okay? I will cut their legs if they are too slow," Long Zhen said.

"Y—You don't need to go that far. I just need to rest for a while," James Grind refused. He didn't want to be the source of many deaths because they didn't get the good essential oil for him.

Long Zhen felt really guilty for hurting James Grind, his Jamie. He lowered his head and kissed James Grind's shoulder. "Don't move too much, okay? I don't want you to get hurt."

James Grind blushed with such gentleness. He hid his face on the pillow and said, "Y—You are a big pervert. I'm sweaty all over, and you still kiss me, you nasty!"

Long Zhen chuckled and kissed James Grind's ear. "Everything about you is wonderful for me."

James Grind snorted and said in a low voice, "What a flirt…"

***

James Grind and Long Zhen lived together in harmony for almost three months. Long Zhen was very gentle and sweet, though his scary temper was still very prominent against his subordinate. It was almost like an innate nature of him.

Just like today, James Grind was rolling around on his bed, bored because Long Zhen was not here yet. He checked the clock, which showed 10 at night.

"He should be here…" James Grind thought.

Since there was no sign of Long Zhen coming soon, James Grind took the initiative and walked out of his room. He was in Long Zhen's mansion, where he previously got that mission to assassinate Long Zhen, but since he was now with Long Zhen, this place became his second home instead.

He walked around and saw few bodyguards looked tense. James Grind frowned and asked one of them, "Where is your Master?"

The bodyguard seemed to consider something for a moment. He pointed at a mahogany door at the end of the corridor.

"Master Long Zhen is there, but Master James, I will not advise you to go there. Master Long Zhen can be… really scary," the guard warned.

James Grind shrugged and said, "It's fine. I want to see him anyway."

James Grind sauntered to the mahogany door. He thought that Long Zhen was just doing business again, but what he saw was behind the door. James Grind got stunned.

Because he saw Long Zhen was sitting with a beautiful woman in his embrace. The woman actively kissed Long Zhen's lips, and Long Zhen didn't seem to mind at all. In front of him, an old man in his mid-forty was also kissing a woman. Both of them seemed to enjoy it, and the old man commented first, "Master Long Zhen surely knows how to have a good time. You bring a good woman."

"Master Shu also bring good woman for me. Now, shall we proceed with the deal?" Long Zhen asked.

"Yes, Master Long. It's a pleasure doing business with you," their chatters filled the room, alongside their lips smacking on the girls in their embrace. It took a while until Long Zhen noticed someone was peeking from the door.

He thought it was his guard. He darted his glare towards the door and gawked when he saw the beautiful eyes of his beloved one was looking at him.

James Grind saw everything, and his heart was complicated. He should know that Long Zhen was a mafia lord, and it was inevitable that he would stumble upon this kind of scene many times. But his heart said otherwise.

James Grind felt that he shouldn't be angry and jealous, but he did. He felt betrayed because of this feeling that kept on growing inside him.

The moment Long Zhen glared at him, James Grind jolted immediately and slammed the door. He ran as fast as he could.

"Master James?" a butler asked curiously. James Grind ignored him and rushed outside. There were plenty of bodyguards who looked curiously at James Grind but dared not do anything because Master Long strictly forbid them to touch James Grind.

James Grind ran and ran until he was out of breath. It was dark outside, but he continued walking until he reached the main road on this mountain. He stood with his chest rose up and down. James Grind waited for a car to come so he could hitchhike.

[Pupa: Why are you running away? He is a mafia, a mafia lord, that is. Of course, something like that is not so taboo.]

[I just want to be dramatic. Besides, I don't want my man to kiss another man or woman! Never!]

[Pupa: But you kissed a lot of men in various worlds. You are even more unfaithful than Long Zhen.]

[Ssshh… Pupa, just let me be dramatic and make things more interesting.]

[Pupa: What a drama queen. If you see no drama, you will try to create one.]

[How do you know my life motto?]

[Pupa:... anyway, what are you going to do now? Just act like a stupid kid and walk aimlessly in this dark road?]

[You know, I actually haven't think that far. I just thought this would be a good chance to increase Long Zhen's Fatemeter after so long.]

Just before Pupa chided on its spicy chicken host, a black Aston Martin car suddenly drove near James Grind. The window slid down and showed a handsome man in his late twenty. 

Huang Shu slid the window down and asked, "You are Long Zhen's lover, aren't you? Did Long Zhen finally dump you?"
