Lord Of Martial Arts

"I didn't say I dislike you, Linda. It just so happens that sadly, your flirtatious charm isn't working on me," Darren laughed.

"What are you implying?" Linda shouted as she pointed a stern finger at Darren.

"I just need a favor. So will you help me or not? Mind you, if you decline, I'm going to tell Laura," Linda said angrily.

"Go ahead and tell her then. It won't do anything anyway." Darren shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, Darren, help me just this once." Linda shook Darren's arm with a pouty face.

"Explain your request first. Why do you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?" Darren asked.

"I'm trying to get rid of those perverted bastards on my tail, of course," Linda blurted out.

"Really?" Darren looked at her and immediately understood what she meant. Linda was a beautiful and attractive lady. Men were practically falling over their feet chasing after her.

She made it quite obvious she wasn't interested in any of them.

"You want me to make your crowd of suitors jealous?" Darren asked.

"Oh Darren, sweetie, you are ever so smart! Truly the cream of the crop here. So you'll help me, then?" Linda said with a smile like honey.

"Let me think about it." Darren pretended to think very carefully with his eyes furrowed. "This means all your angry and jealous pursuers are going to come after me, right? What do you think?"

"Oh please. Hush, Darren. You're such a renowned hero by now and you're still afraid of those bunch of toads," said Linda while she rolled her eyes.

"But, there's nothing in it for me at all," Darren said with a grin.

"Darren." Linda pursed her lips and cast a scornful glance at Darren. "So you want something good, right? I don't think I have anything you might like. Unless, I'm enough for payment?" Linda said this with a coy smile.

"Fuck off!" Darren chuckled. He knew that Linda was making fun of him. So he turned around and entered the room.

Linda let out a chipper laugh. "Darren, I'll come over to pick you up tomorrow morning. It's settled, we're going to a party together."

As soon as she said this, she hopped off without waiting for Darren's reply.

On the way back to her room, Linda couldn't stop imagining how painful it would be for her pursuers to see her with such a handsome boyfriend at the party the next day.

at was that, Darren dearest? What did you say?" Linda asked, blinking her eyes innocently.

"Nothing! I'll go with you to the party."

"Hee hee, thank you so much, Darren," Linda giggled.

Not long after, they arrived at a posh venue.

There were pavilions, terraces and towers hundreds of kilometers around. Landscapes reflected into the water looked splendid.

"Hi Linda, you've finally arrived."

A handsome young man flew over to escort her inside.

"Mr. Qiu, where are the others?" Linda replied nonchalantly.

"They have been waiting for you in the hall. Is this your servant? Our superior talents' party does not allow servants inside,"

the young man blurted out, giving Darren a look of disdain.

"Nonsense. He is my fiance. He is a superior genius. Why can't he go with me?" Linda thought to herself, 'If you knew this is the famous Darren, you'd be shocked.'

But for now, she didn't disclose Darren's identity since she wanted to stand out at the party. She couldn't have Darren stealing her spotlight.

"Your fiance?" The young man and Darren were both surprised.

"Linda, you asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend. When was fiance part of the agreement?" Darren asked through spiritual sense.

"Oh, Darren! Fiance is more shocking than boyfriend. It's all fake anyway. Are you afraid I'll marry you or something?" Linda replied.

"As you wish. Just for today, okay?"

"Alright, alright. Don't be such a sourpuss."

The young man's expression had changed from disdain to an icy glare of jealousy.
