Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1601

Just as quickly, it was Mia's turn to compete against her opponents.

Like Jensen, her moves were swift, precise, and ruthless, taking down her opponents in no time.

Hayes leaned back; his expression dark as he toyed with a lighter in his hand.

When Mia knocked down another competitor, he suddenly said with a faint smile, "Enough.Stop."

Confused, everyone looked at him.

"Hayes, aren't the matches still ongoing?"

Hayes sneered at the one who asked.

"Tell me, who among you can defeat these two?"

His gaze swept over Jensen and Mia.

Everyone fell silent, lips pressed together.

The competition had gone on for quite some time, but they had all been defeated within just a few moves.

Looking at Jensen and Mia, the pair remained composed and poised.

Hayes was speaking the truth — they could not defeat these two, even if they could not accept it.

Hayes pointed his slender finger at Jensen and Mia.

"Well...it'll be you two then."

‘No matter where Jensen goes, she'll follow, huh? Then I shall grant her wish."

No one saw the fleeting shadow in his eyes.

That night, Jensen leaned against the doorway, drinking.

Mia silently walked over.

She looked at his melancholy expression and smiled at him.

"Finally, we have a chance to leave.Why don't you seem happy?"

Jensen looked at her.

"Hayes said this journey will be extremely dangerous.You don't have to follow me.Just stay with him, and he'll let you leave this courtyard."

"Jensen!"

Mia shouted his name angrily.

"You may not like me, you may not accept my feelings, but please don't arrogantly push me onto someone else, okay?"

Jensen pressed his lips together, not saying another word.He only wanted what was best for her.He was ultimately going back to the Kooper family to seek vengeance, with a dark path ahead.He could not make promises to anyone, nor could he respond to anyone's feelings.

Moreover, once he returned, he would see her — the one who truly held his heart — and then, there would be no room for anyone else in his life.

Therefore, he was destined to be unable to respond to Mia's affections.

Seeing Jensen stay silent, Mia could not help but feel annoyed, snatching his drink and taking a few sips herself.

Jensen glanced at her but said nothing.

Mia leaned against the door, gazing dreamily at the night sky.

She murmured with a soft laugh, "It would have been better if I hadn't met you."

That way, she would not be so persistent about her feelings.

If that were the case, she might have already agreed to be with Hayes, becoming his woman.

Unfortunately, she was a stubborn person; once she met Jensen, she could not let him go.

Unless, one day, he settled down, and she no longer had the right to love him.

However, she felt grateful for having met him in this lifetime, bringing a ray of light into her dark life.

The next day, the bodyguards came to the courtyard to pick them up. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

As they were leaving, Jensen took one last look at the place where he had lived for several years, thinking that he would probably never return.

In the main building, Hayes sat in a chair, with over a dozen bodyguards standing on either side, ready to depart at any moment.

Seeing such a grand display, Jensen's gaze could not help but darken, realizing the upcoming journey would indeed be extremely perilous.

Kohen descended the stairs, placing a protective amulet around Hayes's neck.He smiled.

"I got this for you yesterday.It's been blessed, ensuring your safe return."

Hayes glanced down at the amulet resting on his chest, offering a forced smile without speaking.

Kohen suddenly sighed.

"Such a vast business empire, all relying on you to support it.It's exhausting to even think about it.

My brother, why don't I go on this trip instead?"
