Steve: "..."
"It seems you've scared that guy off..."
Seeing Qin Xuan looking at him in surprise, Steve smiled wryly and shook his head again.
But he understood the other man's fear.
Being beaten like that, who wouldn't be afraid?
"Do you still want to fight?" Qin Xuan asked, quite surprised.
Steve nodded gently, utterly resigned. "Of course, I have to."
"My orders are to keep you here permanently."
"Unless you die, or I die, no one leaves today."
"Understood."
Qin Xuan nodded and began to walk towards Steve, who was not far away.
Steve watched Qin Xuan warily, his muscles tensed.
It was clear that Qin Xuan had left a deep impression on him.
But orders were orders.
No matter how scared he was, he had to face it.
Otherwise, he would be betraying his superior and his country.
Steve assumed a stance, ready to receive Qin Xuan's attack.
However, to his surprise,
Qin Xuan simply walked towards him without a word.
He stopped when he was about a meter away.
His gaze shifted, his aura intensified.
He seemed to transform into a supreme Asura god.
Blood, hell.
Countless terrifying scenes flashed through Steve's mind.
Steve froze, cold sweat instantly drenching his body.
When he came to his senses, he was lying flat on the ground.
His chest ached, and he couldn't catch his breath.
Qin Xuan's back was moving further and further away.
"Wait, wait!"
Struggling to get up, Steve managed to utter the word with almost all his strength.
Qin Xuan paused, then turned his head, looking at him coldly.
Steve flinched and instinctively pulled his neck back.
But his upbringing compelled him to continue.
"I'm not dead yet."
"So, you can't leave."
Coughing with each word, Steve was clearly weakening.
Qin Xuan snorted, not turning around, but his voice was slightly softer than his expression.
"This punch should keep you in bed for a month."
"Just go back and report like this, and Davis won't do anything to you."
"Oh, right."
"Is that Susan your lover?"
"Her death wasn't caused by anyone at the martial arts tournament, but by a telekinetic force from afar."
"As for who has the strength to kill someone with telekinesis from the spectator stands..."
"I think I don't need to say more."
"Take care of yourself."
With that, Qin Xuan turned and left the woods without looking back, leaving Steve sitting there blankly.
Telekinetic abilities were rare, and awakened users were even rarer.
To be strong enough to kill from a hundred meters away in the spectator stands...
There was only one person in the entire United States who could do that.
But why would he do it?
What benefit did killing Susan bring him?
After much thought, Steve could only come up with one possibility.
To provoke him.
To kill Susan to provoke his emotions.
Then, to make him become like that person and fight for him.
Sadness, heartache.
Endless emotions surged through Steve's heart.
He wanted to go back and ask Davis if all of this was true.
But before he could struggle to his feet, his vision went black, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.
...
Rushing to the airport as fast as he could, Qin Xuan missed his originally booked flight.
He had no choice but to buy a new ticket back to Dragon Country on his own.
"What's going on, so many people in the lounge?"
Arriving at the first-class lounge, Qin Xuan was surprised to see a crowd gathered not far away.
They seemed to know each other, all dressed similarly.
Their voices were not quiet, and they were quite noisy.
But since he was returning home today, Qin Xuan was in a good mood.
So, he ignored them, shook his head, and went to a corner by himself.
He casually picked up a magazine and flipped to an interview featuring a pure Asian face.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Xuan smiled.
Wasn't this Li Qingwan, the top celebrity who had helped He Dayong?
Did she have a market in the United States too?
However, with her delicate eyebrows and elegant demeanor, she was indeed a rare beauty.
It was normal for her to be popular.
"Oh, really."
Height: 168 cm.
Bust-Waist-Hips: 98, 58, 92.
Such a perfect figure?
Recalling, her figure did seem to be quite well-endowed.
As he flipped to the photo section, Qin Xuan unconsciously glanced at Li Qingwan's measurements.
Just as he was silently complaining in his mind, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted into his nostrils from the side.
"General Qin Xuan?"
"What are you doing here!"
A voice filled with surprise came from above him, accompanied by a lingering fragrance.
Qin Xuan looked up and saw a woman looking at him with great surprise.
Qin Xuan was slightly taken aback, thinking it couldn't be that coincidental. In the next second, he quickly closed the magazine and placed it on the table beside him.
"Ahem, Miss Li, what a coincidence."
Yes.
The person who had arrived was none other than Li Qingwan, the reigning queen of Dragon Country's entertainment industry.
She was wearing a black dress and a hat, dressed like a noble lady.
Coupled with her innate elegant temperament, she gave the impression of a graceful princess from a neighboring country.
Inspiring admiration involuntarily.
Her pretty face slightly flushed, Li Qingwan subconsciously glanced at the magazine Qin Xuan had just put down.
She knew Qin Xuan had spent the longest time looking at it, and she couldn't help but think that her attractiveness was quite good.
"Yes, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Are you returning to Dragon Country?"
Without any reservation, Li Qingwan sat down on a chair beside Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan nodded gently, appearing very surprised by her actions.
"As a top star like you, you're just wandering around the airport so openly, without anyone following you?"
Li Qingwan hummed and said to Qin Xuan very casually, "Not many people recognize me abroad, so it's much easier than in China."
"As for my team, there aren't many people to begin with."
"If it weren't for my special status, we would all be flying economy."
"I see."
Qin Xuan could tell that Li Qingwan was speaking sincerely.
To maintain such a mindset in the current domestic entertainment environment, Qin Xuan could only admire her.
He hoped she could always maintain this pure and humble attitude in the so-called entertainment industry.
If so, perhaps there would still be some hope for the future of culture and entertainment.
