Charlotte looked at Lin Tian, with no smile on her face: "No man has ever caught my eye, they are not worthy of being my man."

Lin Tian was a bit surprised and said, "So, your standards are quite high."

"If you are willing to become my guard knight, you can become my first man." Charlotte said this very calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

Lin Tian refused without hesitation: "Forget it, I don't have a hobby of becoming a male pet. However, if you're willing to be my woman, I might consider it."

"How dare you disrespect the Lord! The Lord has chosen you to be the guard knight—it is your honor, don't be ignorant of your place." The beautiful women who had been standing respectfully in front of the car shouted angrily as soon as they heard Lin Tian speak so arrogantly.

"Ai Wei, you can't beat Lin Tian, be careful if he gets angry. When he does, it's quite terrifying." Charlotte said with a smile, casting a sideways glance at Lin Tian, and it was unclear what was on her mind.

"Lord, please allow me to make a move and teach him a lesson." Ai Wei said respectfully but full of defiance, clearly unable to tolerate Lin Tian's arrogant behavior.

"You can have a try." Charlotte said.

As soon as the words fell, Ai Wei had already moved, appearing swiftly in front of Lin Tian, suddenly brandishing a curved blade from nowhere.

Lin Tian, somewhat versed in cold weapons, recognized that this curved blade was not the ancient nomadic kind, but a Gurkha Kukri. The nomadic curved blades were crescent-shaped, meant for cavalry battles, suitable for slashing in a charge, easily decapitating without getting stuck in bones.

But the Gurkha Kukri was exactly the opposite, an infantry weapon, its blade curved forward like a dog leg, hence also known as a dog-leg knife. This peculiar design is universally recognized as the most ergonomic re-curve blade.

Historically, the Gurkha Kukri was the standard issue weapon of the Nepali Gurkha Regiment, a lethal tool on the battlefield. Unlike daggers relying on agility and piercing vital points, the Gurkha Kukri was much more formidable, suitable for chopping.

Typically, only brave male warriors would use such short blade weapons for close combat, but Ai Wei chose to wield it, exuding an equally fierce presence.

As she brought the blade down, even the air seemed to vacate, the steel vibrating against the atmosphere, producing a piercing explosive sound. The female pilot seemed to smile triumphantly, as if already witnessing Lin Tian's impending defeat.

With a "bang," Ai Wei's chopping action abruptly halted, the blade just millimeters from Lin Tian's brow, unable to advance further.

Both the female pilot and Ai Wei widened their eyes simultaneously, as Lin Tian, who had somehow intervened at the last moment, had seized Ai Wei's wrist.

Ai Wei furrowed her brows, exerting more force on her wrist, trying desperately to close the millimeters and drive the blade into Lin Tian's brow.

But her efforts were futile, the blade tip could not advance at all. The concrete ground under her feet showed cracks, indicating the immense force at play, yet Lin Tian remained untroubled.

"You can exert more force, I can handle it." Lin Tian said lightly.

"Humph!" Ai Wei grunted, suddenly turning the Kukri horizontally to sever Lin Tian's arm. The Blood Clan wouldn't die merely from losing an arm; Ai Wei intended to teach Lin Tian a lesson.

But halfway through her slash, the horizontal motion halted—not her choice, but Lin Tian grasped her wrist, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge his hold.

"Considering you are a woman, let's call it quits here." Lin Tian said calmly.

"I only teach men a lesson!" Ai Wei's eyes widened in anger, refusing to yield to Lin Tian's offer, suddenly raising her knee to strike Lin Tian's groin.

The surefire move against men is a knee to the groin; even Ai Wei resorted to this, showing her deep-seated discontent and unwillingness.

Lin Tian chuckled softly, matching her move with a knee strike of his own. With a loud impact, Lin Tian remained steady as Ai Wei recoiled from the impact, feet lifting off the ground to fly backwards.

Seizing the moment, Lin Tian twisted her wrist, disarmed the blade, and in a swift move, swung it from below upward along her abdomen.

With Lin Tian's strength and the Kukri's lethality, had the strike landed, it would indeed have been a gutting blow.

After the flash of the blade, Ai Wei landed, staggering back several steps before coming to a stop, only to suddenly feel a chill at the front of her body.

Looking down, Ai Wei saw her clothing had split from collar to hem, the central seam slashed open by Lin Tian's blade, leaving her fully exposed.

This woman was actually not wearing any underwear, as Lin Tian discovered the secret beneath her attire.

"Shameless!" Ai Wei cried in shame and fury, ready to retaliate for this strike. But as she moved, nearly exposing herself completely, she had to stop, holding her clothes to shield her modesty, glaring angrily at Lin Tian.

"Ai Wei, enough, you're no match for Lin Tian. If this continues, you won't even have your pants left." Charlotte spoke up, not admonishing Lin Tian but clearly implying with her look, 'You truly are shameless.'

Lin Tian tossed the blade to the ground, saying casually, "If not for Charlotte's sake, you'd have been split in two by now, buried under the tree as fertilizer."

Only Lin Tian could tear a person's clothes and still have such an unflinching demeanor, causing Ai Wei to seethe with anger, nearly lunging once again.

In the end, unable to spare her hands, she could only snort, picking up the blade and ducking into the car, revealing she was also the chauffeur tasked with the pickup.

Charlotte merely glanced at Lin Tian before getting into the car, with Rossi taking the passenger seat, and Lin Tian slipping into the back seat, sitting beside Charlotte.

Ai Wei, one hand clutching her clothes and the other handling the car, drove single-handedly, flooring the pedal as if treating it like Lin Tian, revving the car fiercely, the speedometer quickly hitting over two hundred, almost as if she were flying a plane instead of driving a car.

"Lord of Charlotte, your subordinate is quite spirited." Lin Tian remarked unexpectedly, surprised that even with Charlotte in the car, Ai Wei dared to drive so recklessly.

Charlotte, however, casually said, "I told Luo Lin before, I wouldn't restrict her freedom. Did you think I was joking? If she follows me, I won't suppress her individuality; she'd be happier with me than with Asina. But she's too stubborn, destined to be a stepping stone for Asina's advancement in the end."

"You talk big, but on the battlefield, you don't seem to care much about your subordinates' lives." Lin Tian said lightly, recalling the ancient battlefield where her subordinates died without evoking such remarks from her; though cold, she was, after all, a female vampire.
