Bill, surprised after hearing that, looked at Edgar with astonishment as he took his lollipop out of his
mouth.
Edgar, feeling the curiosity at Bills face, glanced at bill without giving any explanation.
The Dragon Empire Group owned an island, of which not many outsiders know about. It was an island
governed by a mixture of monarchy and democracy, where the person who held the most power acted
as a country leader. The primary reason why The Dragon Empire Group was able to maintain its
system for years was because every power holder was trained strictly and vigorously from childhood...
There was no single spoiled child. With this, how could Eric be simple?
However, with the current situation, it was quite hard to understand. It seemed like Eric and Mr. Long
had an unusual relationship, didn't they?
A deep perverse light appeared in Edgar's eyes that disappeared quickly. He looked at Bill and
said,"It's getting late. Head back home and I will spend the rest of the night here."
Bill nodded. He was not surprised. Since Jenifer was at the mayor's house, 'perhaps the mayor can't
put up with her, can he? ' Bill thought.
After Bill left, Edgar entered a small apartment suite next to his office which was specially prepared for
him. After taking a good bath, he walked to the terrace in a bathrobe and stared at the sight of the
whole City Council's courtyard filled with darkness. Only a faint light from his lamp inside could be seen
from the whole building.
A strong cold wind gushed at Edgar's faced, raising his fine short hair and exposing his forehead.
Despite the darkness, a scar with a size half of a finger could be seen on his forehead.
Looking ahead, Edgar recalled the scene of how Molly and Spark fell to the ground of the Golden
Auditorium. His heart remembered the painful feeling during his grief.
Edgar slightly squinted. Anger and pain could be seen from his eyes. In the night wind, his cold voice
came through,"I must enter the Parliament, but Molly is… definitely someone I will never give up!"
His words sounded like a vow or a promise to himself that… his loss was nothing but temporary!

At South Street Alley
Molly was speechless at the sight of Spark eating every food he glanced from the beginning to the end
of the alley. She glanced stealthily at his stomach and criticized, 'Is his stomach a bottomless pit?'
Thinking at how much food Spark had eaten, Molly lost her appetite without knowing why. Looking at
spark with fish balls in his hands, Molly couldn't help but ask,"Well, have you been hungry all this
time?"
She almost had the urge to ask him,"Are you a reincarnated hungry ghost?"
Spark placed a fish ball into his mouth, chewed and cheerfully replied,"A very long time, from noon till
now… Something came up which took much time to finish. But in order to attend Wing's concert, I
didn't have enough time to grab some supper!"
This amazed Molly. He missed a single meal, yet it seemed like he did not eat anything for the entire
day.
In spite of her astonishment, Molly preferred not to say more. She looked at the end of the alley and
said,"I have accompanied you to South Street in order to repay you. Now… we can split and go home
respectively!"
Molly's words left Spark speechless. An expression of sadness was found in Spark's eyes that
disappeared quickly as Molly was not aware of it.
At that moment, Molly could not help but feel flustered due to the butterflies in her stomach. She was
worried whether Brian believed what she said in her short message and felt nervous as to what would
happen if Brian did not believe it.
With those thought in mind, she and Spark arrived at the corner of the street. As they were about to get
into their hailed taxi, they saw a luxury Benz parking near the roadside which looked strange at such a
place. With too many people gathering around it, Molly and Spark took a look at it as well.
As soon as she saw it, Molly's smile froze.
Tony got off the car and walked towards Molly. He only glanced at Spark and passed by without
uttering anything. He said to Molly,"Miss Xia, the wind is cold at night so Mr. Long told me to pick you
up!"
The corner of Molly's mouth twitched. She did not have enough time to think why Tony was there
before she heard Tony speaking to Spark,"You left the concert so hastily this evening that Miss Long
was not able to express her gratitude. She would like to thank you not for taking part in the concert but
for playing Pathetique in cooperation with her."
A smile appeared in Spark's light amber eyes. It was a kind of smile he could only show between
peers, different from how he usually behaves in front of others. He only answered,"Please convey the
same thanks of mine to her."
"I will." Tony smiled and nodded. He then opened the car door for Molly and gave a nod to Spark as a
signal of them taking their leave. Then, he went inside and drove.
Staring at the Luxury Benz fading away, which was totally off being found in South Street, Spark could
not help but guess what could be the relationship between Brian and Molly…
Based on what Harrow said to him, Brian was no simple man. Spark knew he came from a well-off
family. Molly, on the other hand, was a girl from the lowest. How could they have something to do with
each other?
With such thoughts in mind, he did not realize that Manny came out from the crowd. Carrying a violin
close to his chest, Manny grasped,"I will lose 10 years of my life, at the very least, just to follow you!"
"Well, you have the option to follow me or not!" Spark said after losing his sight of the luxury Benz.
George pulled a long face and mumbled in a low voice,"Are you this relentless? Are you going to die if
you say a few comforting words?"
