    Honestly, Corrine was curious to see Nate take action.


    Nate tapped her nose lightly with his knuckle. “Aren’t you scared?”


    “What’s there to be scared of?” Corrine replied with a soft smile, making her already stunning face even more striking. “Besides, it’s not every day I get to see my fiancé show off his skills. I should be excited.”


    Seeing the excitement in her eyes, Nate chuckled. “Haven’t you already seen my skills?”


    Corrine blinked, trying hard to remember when she’d ever seen his skills.

    Corrine looked up at him, then pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “If I can’t win, remember to step in, my dear fiancé.”


    The moment Corrine finished speaking, the vi was surrounded, trapping everyone inside.


    The intruders were tough, well-trained, and armed to the teeth. As they charged into the room, Saul and Mandy appeared, looking like knightsing to the rescue.


    Chosen and promoted after tough tests, they were far from ordinary aides, and their skills were not to be taken lightly.


    But even they found themselves struggling against the overwhelming number of attackers. Despite their training, the intruders matched them in speed andbat skills.
