Stunned to hear this provocative voice, Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Li Ya couldn't help but look toward the direction of the voice, only to see a blond Caucasian man walking over slowly from the side.

This was a very handsome Caucasian man, standing at six feet tall, with eyes that were bright and sharp, and a charming smile always hanging on his lips. He wore a white suit and his entire presence was like a prince in a fairy tale, possessing great allure to women, especially with that smile that gave an impression of warmth, as if standing next to him felt like basking in sunshine.

Bai Zhiqing's pretty face immediately turned cold upon seeing this Caucasian man.

"Zhiqing, long time no see. Have you been well these past few years?"

This man completely ignored Lu Tianxing who was beside Bai Zhiqing, his lips curved into a smile that could drive countless women crazy, and he strode confidently towards Bai Zhiqing.

However, Bai Zhiqing's cold expression didn't change at all; instead, it turned even more disdainful. Her tone was particularly indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuations: "How I'm doing seems to have nothing to do with you, Holder Owen. I hope you call me by my full name Bai Zhiqing from now on. I don't want my husband to misunderstand anything."

Upon hearing the name Holder Owen, a glint flashed deep in Lu Tianxing's eyes. If he remembered correctly, this guy should be the Saint Heir of the Church, one of the main forces Angel wants to deal with this time, and his love rival, someone trying to steal his girl.

"Zhiqing, are you really so heartless towards me? Don't you know that from the first time I saw you, it was love at first sight? Can't you give me a chance to pursue you? I will prove to everyone in the world that I love you, that I'll love only you for life..."

Without waiting for Holder to finish speaking, Bai Zhiqing already interrupted bluntly: "Sorry, I don't need you to prove anything. Moreover, I'm married, and I love my husband very much. I don't want anyone to ruin my life, no matter who it is. Do you understand?"

By the time she got to the last sentence, Bai Zhiqing's attitude had grown extremely resolute, allowing no question.

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing's blunt words, Holder's face, which had always worn a smile, involuntarily froze for a moment. He glanced at Lu Tianxing standing next to Bai Zhiqing, with a sharp hint of killing intent in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

Although it was brief, Lu Tianxing clearly caught it. He chuckled coldly to himself but said nothing. Now was not the time to confront Holder or perhaps kill him, as without evidence, the Church wouldn't let him off easily if he killed Holder.

"Zhiqing, don't be angry, alright? I won't say anything anymore, okay?"

Holder's sullen look vanished momentarily, a subtle smile reappeared on his face, and he focused on Lu Tianxing: "Zhiqing, is this your husband? He doesn't seem like much, and besides, he just claimed he lives off women. If I recall correctly, this term is derogatory in China, used for calling incompetent men, right?"

Though Holder's words were phrased as a question, there was a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Holder, what do you mean by that? Does whether my man lives off women have anything to do with you? In my eyes, he's a hundred times better than you, even if he does live off women, I am willing, so what?"

Bai Zhiqing coldly stared at Holder, speaking as she directly hooked her arm around Lu Tianxing's, with an icy tone, "You're not welcome here, please leave immediately."

"Zhiqing, don't be angry, I just said it in a hurry because I pitied you, hoping you'll forgive me this once."

Holder sincerely apologized, but his gaze fell on Lu Tianxing, reaching out his right hand: "Holder Owen, Zhiqing's pursuer, pleased to meet you, you can call me Holder."

Lu Tianxing reached out his hand and shook Holder's: "Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing's husband, I'm glad to meet you too, but I hope you'd stay away from my wife in the future. After all, neither of us likes pesky flies constantly buzzing around us, because I fear I might not resist swatting it dead."

"Haha, Mr. Lu, you do like to joke. As it happens, my habits aren't much different from yours. Once, I'd ordered a delicious cake, but a fly kept buzzing around my favorite cake, and in a moment of anger, I swatted the fly dead and even burned it to ashes." Holder replied with a smile.

"Burned to ashes?"

Lu Tianxing said with a soft smile: "Brother Holder, you were too lenient. If it were me, I wouldn't just kill the fly; I'd disassemble it, let it experience the agony where it can't live nor die."

"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Lu. If there comes a day, I'll surely try the method you mentioned."

Lu Tianxing and Holder talked and laughed, like old friends meeting again, their words devoid of any signs of hostility, yet the killing intent within was understood by only Lu Tianxing and Holder. That "fly" would be themselves if caught by the other, doomed to a fate worse than death.

"Brother Holder, it's getting late. I'll take my wife for a walk, feel free to stay."

Lu Tianxing smiled slightly at Holder, spoke to Li Ya beside him: "Ms. Li Ya, you're the local expert here, could you introduce the jewelry company here to me and Zhiqing?"

"Sure, no problem."

Li Ya nodded lightly, she could tell that Lu Tianxing and Holder weren't getting along. Staying here, she always felt a chilling sensation, especially from Holder, although he outwardly appeared sunny, her spiritual intuition sensed an iciness colder than a snake emanating from Holder.

The three ignored Holder and turned directly towards the nearby exhibition hall.

Watching the backs of the three leaving, Holder's smile gradually vanished, replaced by an extremely cold killing intent: "Lu Tianxing, Judge, you dare to compete with me for your woman; I assure you, this trip to New York will be your grave, I'll grind your bones to dust."

As he finished speaking, Holder no longer stayed at the jewelry exhibition hall nor shamelessly followed Bai Zhiqing. He knew very well that following them would only be self-humiliation, plus, he had more important matters to attend to. Besides, once Lu Tianxing was dead, Bai Zhiqing would be his. He wasn't in a hurry.
