Breakfast was simple: two servings of steak and two glasses of milk.
Sini was delighted; this was a breakfast made by her master.
She thoughtfully cut John's steak into pieces and secretly observed him, asking, "Master, are you going to enter the world of Gods again tonight?"
John nodded, not noticing anything unusual about Sini. "Yes, I should be."
He had already reached level 29, just one level away from the second-tier advancement.
John planned to complete the second-tier advancement task tonight.
Sini moved closer to John, pleading, "Master, could you spend the day with me today?"
She had a feeling that after tonight, she might have to leave John forever and return to that hell.
She wanted to cherish every moment with him.
John looked at Sini with a hint of confusion. The early stages of the game were crucial, but he didn't want to refuse Sini.
He nodded and agreed, "Of course, let's go out and have some fun today."
"You're the best, Master." Sini quickly kissed John's cheek, her face blushing as she buried her head in her food.
She noticed John's reaction and felt scared. She wanted to satisfy him, but her body couldn't handle it.
Tonight, no matter how painful it is, she would give John an unforgettable night!
Sini silently made up her mind.
...
Down City was a third-tier city, not luxurious but usually bustling.
However, due to the global phenomenon of the world of Gods, the once bustling streets seemed quieter.
John enjoyed the peace and tranquility.
He and Sini went to the amusement park, tried all the rides, then went hiking, and even watched a nonsensical movie.
After dinner, they returned home by dusk.
"Master, I'm going to take a shower first." Sini, hugging a dolphin plushie as tall as she was, smiled as she bounced towards the bedroom.
John had given her the plushie, and she loved it.
Hearing the water running in the bathroom, John couldn't resist, took off his clothes, and joined Sini for a romantic shower.
That night, Sini was especially eager to please, using all her skills to satisfy John.
But she had overestimated herself. The continuous climaxes, the blissful sensation, stimulated every nerve, making her forget all her worries, as if she was floating on a warm, soft cloud...
Eventually, her consciousness blurred, and she fell asleep in John's arms, her face showing a mix of happiness and slight pain.
John looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, feeling content.
Sini had changed a lot under his care, becoming more mature and alluring.
"Hmm?" John frowned, his eyes flashing with a cold killing intent.
He sensed someone approaching the villa.
An Ancient Martial Artist!
It must be someone from the Griffin Family.
John sneered, not surprised. Sini was a pawn raised by the Griffin Family to control the influential families in the secular world.
They certainly wouldn't allow Sini to escape their control.
It seems that Aron's interference has played a significant role in this.
John realized why Sini had been so eager tonight; the Griffin Family must have already contacted her.
The beautiful woman in his arms stirred, letting out a pained moan.
John quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Sini opened her eyes, tears glistening as she gazed at John's handsome face with reluctance.
"Master, I'm sorry," Sini whispered softly. "These days with you have been the happiest of my life, but I can never escape the Griffin Family. Please, forget about me."
John felt her cold lips on his, tears dropping onto his face, and then the emptiness in his arms.
Sini changed into a tight black outfit, secured two daggers to her wrists, and finally picked up the dolphin plushie from the bed.
She took one last, tearful look at John before quietly leaving the villa.
In bed, John opened his eyes, anger flashing. "Looks like this woman needs a lesson!"
In his past life, Sini had also disappeared without a word due to the Griffin Family's threats.
John was heartbroken, searching for her in vain.
Fearing the worst due to the ruthless nature of Ancient Martial Arts families. Sini was likely not spared.
After destroying the Griffin Family, he never found a trace of her.
Determined not to let the past repeat, John got dressed and went downstairs.
"Come out," John said coldly. The intruder hadn't left with Sini, suggesting he was here for John.
"Impressive, you're quite alert," a figure emerged from the shadows.
A thin, cold-faced middle-aged man who looked at John with a sneer.
"A mere ordinary person daring to touch my Griffin Family's trained slave, how audacious!" The man said, a dagger appearing in his hand, his intent to kill obvious.
John remained calm. "Get out. I don't want to dirty my villa."
He walked outside.
The man hesitated, momentarily intimidated by John's commanding presence.
He sensed no martial aura from John, assuming him to be an ordinary person.
"Hmph, ignorant fool!" Enraged, the man attacked from behind.
Bang!
John struck.
One punch sent the man flying, blood spilling from his mouth.
John's integrated attributes from the world of Gods had given him strength on par with top-tier Ancient Martial Artists.
The man, barely at second-tier strength, was no match.
"You... cough!" The man knelt, spitting blood mixed with shattered organs, his face pale.
His insides were crushed, beyond saving even by a god.
He couldn't understand how an ordinary person could possess such terrifying strength.
Struggling with his last breath, he asked, "Who... who are you?"
"You've messed with someone the Griffin Family can't afford to provoke!" John said, snapping his fingers. A flicker of flame danced on his fingertips before flying onto the cold man's body.
Whoosh!
Flames engulfed the man instantly, burning him to ashes without a single scream.
A gentle breeze scattered the ashes, leaving no trace.
Without a second glance, John pursued in the direction Sini had gone.
...
Sini had already arrived at Pale Mountain Park.
At midnight, the park was silent and dark. The dim streetlights cast a faint glow, while distant sounds of stray cats and occasional scuffles echoed through the night.
A scar-faced man sat on a bench under a streetlight, cradling an ancient sword. Smoke curled around him, and cigarette butts littered the ground.
He looked into the shadows beyond the light, revealing yellow teeth in a sneer. "Gale, if there's one thing I can say about you, it's that you're punctual."
From the darkness emerged a figure holding a large, adorable dolphin plushie.
It was Sini.
She wrinkled her nose at the acrid smell of smoke.
Sini glared at the scar-faced man, her voice cold, "I am a free person now. You have no hold over me!"
"Free? Ha..." The man glanced at the plushie she held, sneering as if he'd heard the most absurd joke.
"You need to remember, you are nothing but a dog trained by the Griffin Family. If you don't listen or can't bite, the only outcome is death. Freedom? Hmph, death is the only freedom you'll get."
Sini bit her lip, her eyes filled with humiliation and anger. She placed the plushie gently on a clean bench, her hands sliding down to reveal two daggers.
She was ready to fight for the elusive freedom she longed for.
The scar-faced man noticed her movements and smirked, still full of disdain. "If you don't want that John to get hurt, you better behave."
At the mention of John's name, Sini's body trembled. She abandoned the thought of resistance, her face filled with despair, and her voice devoid of any emotion, "Fine, I'll go with you."
The man looked pleased, about to speak when he suddenly sensed something.
"Who's there?" he shouted, drawing his sword as he turned.
A handsome young man stood there. The scar-faced man broke into a cold sweat, realizing he hadn't noticed the young man approach at all.
