Krine. Wushu Pavilion Beau sat on the chair in the hall and quietly looked at the photo of the woman on the wall in front of him. In the photo, half of the womanâs face was a huge red birthmark, and the other half of her face was a scar. There were black spots and red dots on her skin. But upon closer inspection, he found that her facial features were rather eye-catching and it resembled a certain woman. Next to the photo was the profile of the master of the Wushu Pavilion, Cerys. She was born in Sage City and the daughter of a drunkard in the slum. She had always been poor. Until half a year ago, she won the lottery.
Therefore, half a year after she enjoyed her life, she wanted to make some contributions to the society, so she came to Krine and opened a martial arts dojo specifically for teaching women martial arts. Wushu Pavilion. Beau finished reading all the materials and couldnât help but smile. Half a year ago, won the lottery? . She was the only one who could come up with such a ridiculous excuse. âMr. Valentine.â
The waiter of the dojo came out of the room respectfully and looked at the man in front of him with apology on his face. âMiss Wood said that we donât need any additional investment.â âShe has money.â
After that, the waiter smiled apologetically. âShe said that she didnât want to see a businessman like you, so she asked you to go back.â Beau smiled faintly, âIs that so?â He leaned back and looked at the waiter in front of him indifferently. âSince your master is an outsider, I will give her a chance to turn over a new leaf and let her come out to see me.â âOtherwise, you should be well aware of what kind of existence I am in Krine.â
The waiterâs face turned pale. She pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly. âMr. Valentine, our master just wants to do something for the girls in Krine.â
âShe only charged twenty cents for a class, and the girls could learn everything here without spending more than twenty dollars. Itâs already very cheap.â âMaster is working for the public welfare. Isnât itâ¦
inappropriate for you to threaten her?â Beau gave a cold laugh. âWhat if I really want to threaten her to come and see me?â He changed into a comfortable position and leaned back on the chair. The smile on his lips was cold and indifferent. âI like to force others to do things I want.â The waiter was speechless.
She took a deep breath. âAlright, Mr. Valentine, please wait a moment.â âIâll go inform the master.â After that, the waiter strode away. In the direction she was heading, Beau saw a woman dressed in white standing at the end of the corridor with her back facing him. It seemed that she was looking at the scenery. She seemed to be waiting for someone. The waiter walked over and whispered something in the womanâs ear. The woman paused for a moment before turning around to look in Beauâs direction. Her face was even uglier and scarier than her photos. However, there was no fear or shock in Beauâs eyes.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with endless longing. He finally found her. Even though this was how they met. It turned out that she didnât want to be too far away from him. Otherwise, she wouldnât have needed to come to Krine. She would have been able to open this dojo within his range of influence. But she didnât want to be close to him anymore, so she fabricated the identity of âCerysâ and opened the Wushu Pavilion. He remembered that she once said that acting was not her dream, it was just means of earning a living. Because she used to date Jay and were best friends with Madeleine, so she thought that filming was the easiest industry for her to make money. So she chose to learn acting and finally became an actress. Since becoming an actress was not what she wanted to do most, then nowâ¦
opening the dojo should be her favorite thing, right? When he was in a daze, the woman named Cerys had come up to him. Her voice was deliberately lowered, but he could still hear the voice of the past. âMr.
Valentine.â She looked at him with a smile. âThis small dojo has just opened for a week, and the turnover is very low.â âThirty students came in total, and I earned more than forty dollars.â âI donât understand.
How can a dojo that makes no money be worthy of a president like you? Why must you invest in it?â As they got closer, Beau could clearly see the traces of makeup on the womanâs face. Yes. She used to be a stand-in actor, and she had been in the crew for a long time. It was not difficult to find two friends who could do special makeup. However, this kind of makeup could fool others. But for him, who knew her very well, the flaw was obvious. However, Beau still pretended not to know her and laughed. âWho said that I want to invest in the Wushu Pavilion for money?â âSince your original purpose of opening this dojo is not for money, why do you think that I want to invest in you just to let you make money for me?â Eliza knitted her eyebrows. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who was obviously messing around. âThen Mr. Valentine, could you please tell me why you want to invest in me?â Beauâs legs elegantly overlapped. âFor my wife, Eliza.â Elizaâs body suddenly trembled. She took a small step back, her eyes a little flustered, her voice trembling slightly. âI⦠donât quite understand what you mean.â
Beauâs eyes were indifferent. âMy wife is also a highly skilled woman.â He looked at Cerys in front of him.
His gaze seemed to pass through her and went further away, âWhen she was with me, I did many things that made her sad, leading her to leave me in the end.â âI searched everywhere I could find, but I couldnât find herâ¦â
There was a faint sadness in his low, magnetic voice. Elizaâs hands silently clenched into fists. She pressed her lips together and her heart was slightly tight. She didnât expect that when she met Beau again, he would talk to her about this. Did⦠did he recognize her? Or he didnât recognize her at all? âI hope she can be very happy in a place where I canât see.â As he spoke, he turned his eyes and looked seriously at the ugly face of the woman in front of him. âI think that if she were to come to a place that she was unfamiliar with, if she settled down, she would also want to open a dojo like this.â âSo, I want to invest in the Wushu Pavilion to help the girls in Krine protect themselves.â âIn order to buy a peace of mind, you can lie to yourself that my wife has had a good time outside.â Eliza pursed her lips and lowered her head. âYour wish is very beautiful, butâ¦â âI donât need it.â She took a deep breath and said, âYou should have seen my information, right?â âI won a lottery half a year ago, so Iâm not short of money.â
Beau smiled and placed a black card on the table. âThen just take it as youâve won another lottery.â
