The man was surrounded by black–suited bodyguards, creating a stark contrast to the crowded and chaotic surroundings. Despite the cramped space, the area around the man was conspicuously spacious and quiet.
Not only did it attract Isabelle’s attention, but it also attracted the attention of others.
He?
George.
Why was he here?
Isabelle narrowed her eyes.
The Duel Tournament was about to begin.
The man lowered his gaze, looking indifferently at th

e fight below.
“Mr. George, these few days only have minor skirmishes, nothing worth watching. You’ve been busy dealing with matters in Melfrey and haven’t had much rest. Why don’t you go back to headquarters and rest?” Dylan suggested it with concern.
George didn’t respond. He suddenly felt something, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked across from him
at the lower level.
Following George’s gaze, Dylan saw White Owl and his team.
“It’s those guys from the Blackwater Mercenary Corps.” Dylan noticed that his way of speaking had been influenced since he arrived in Melfrey.
He was a city elite, a gentleman with manners, but once he got here, he would casually refer to them as “those guys.”
“Weren’t they saying that the boss of Blackwater is back? I don’t see any women.” Dylan looked over White Owl and the others but didn’t see any women.
At this time, White Owl and the others also looked over at them.
After a brief eye contact, George withdrew his gaze without any expression.
ite Owl asked Isabelle, who was hiding behind him, “Do you know them?”
Isabelle peeked out from behind White Owl, and seeing that George was no longer looking at them, she replied, “Not really.”
“Why are you hiding if you don’t know them? I see that the group doesn’t look like ordinary people, especially the one standing in the front. Is he your guardian?” Jack, who was often teased for his young age, finally had a chance to tease someone else’s age.
Jack wasn’t interested in the relationship between Isabelle and this group, but he did notice something
else.
Jack twisted his neck and said disdainfully. “They seem like the guys from God’s Armament Alliance.”

“Even the clothes are similar.” As he spoke, Jack looked at the security guards who were standing on each
level.
These security guards were all from the God’s Armament Alliance.
Jack hated these people who dressed formally and looked very disciplined.
After watching two rounds, George left.
Isabelle’s gaze followed George for a moment, and then she said to White Owl and the others, “I have something to do. You guys should go back and rest after watching.”
“Acting like our boss.” Jack sneered, then added, “It’s not peaceful here at night. Are you sure you don’t want to go back with us?”
“No, you guys can sleep in the tent. I prefer to sleep in a bed.” Isabelle said that and left.
“Sleep in a bed? Where can you find a bed in this place?” Jack rolled his eyes.
George and his group left the Duel Tournament arena,
Suddenly, a very abrupt figure entered his line of sight.
“Miss Jenkins?” George called out doubtfully.
Isabelle turned around, looking surprised. “Mr. Harris.”
Dylan stared at Isabelle, who appeared here. His reaction was as if he had seen a ghost. How could she come to such a place?
Dylan blinked hard to confirm that it was Isabelle.
The last time they met in Taragon City, Isabelle was quite plump, but now, less than a month later, she has slimmed down to a slightly chubby figure. Dylan looked her up and down a few times and commented, “You look much prettier than the last time I saw you.”
George stepped forward. “Miss Jenkins, it’s you. What are you doing here?”
“Sightseeing. Isabelle lied without hesitation.
Anyway, she didn’t expect George to believe her, so she didn’t bother to come up with a better excuse.
xpected, Dylan couldn’t help but show his face while sightseeing in the northwest of Melfrey. And instead of going to the Duel Tournament arena, why not take a vacation in the war-torn region of Sylandria?
Hearing this, George couldn’t help but smile slightly. The unintentional expression and laughter were incredibly attractive.
Although Isabelle had no feelings for the Harris family, she had to admit that, having lived two lives, George was the most attractive to her.
“How about Mr. Harris?” Isabelle asked.
“Also sightseeing.”

“Really? What a coincidence.”
Dylan thought to himself. These two are both skilled actors.
“Miss Jenkins, have you been inside?” George asked.
“I wanted to go in, but I was a bit scared. Mr. Harris, you just came out from inside? Is it interesting? It sounds very lively inside”
“It’s not suitable for young ladies to watch,” George said.
“What a pity,” Isabelle said with a hint of regret.
“Miss Jenkins, where are you going now?”
“I just arrived today and haven’t found a place to stay yet. I plan to go a bit further to see if I can find a hotel
George: “Miss Jenkins, you arrived a bit late. There should be no available accommodations around here. The hotel I’m staying at should still have vacancies. If you don’t mind, you can come with me to check.”
Dylan looked at George, his eyes asking. When did you start staying at a hotel? Why didn’t I know?
Isabelle: “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for Mr. Harris?”
George: “Of course not.”
Isabelle: “Then thank you.”
Dylan thought to himself, You’re not being polite.
George made a gentlemanly gesture towards the luxury cars parked not far away. “Let’s go then.”
As Isabelle walked a few steps away, George turned to Dylan. “Arrange a hotel.”
“Are you planning to stay at the hotel with Miss Jenkins and not return to headquarters?” Dylan asked boldly.
George didn’t respond to him and followed Isabelle’s footsteps.
The car drove away from the Duel Tournament arena.
e car, George started making small talk, “What made Miss Jenkins think of coming to Melfrey for a vacation? There are so many other interesting places.”
As soon as she got in the car and solved the accommodation problem, Isabelle’s enthusiasm disappeared. Her tone cooled down, returning to her usual independent style, are she counter–questioned, “What about you, Mr. Harris?”
Once her goal was achieved, her attitude changed drastically.
“My family has some business here, so I come often.”
“So, Mr. Harris, are you here for business this time?” Isabelle asked.

George was trying to extract information from her, but Isabelle extracted information from him instead, and even so blatantly.
George replied, “Half of it. I’m also here for a vacation.”
Isabelle responded casually, “Oh
“How about Miss Jenkins?” George obviously won’t let her off the hook so easily.
He noticed that whenever he encountered Isabelle, he became a hypocrite, losing his sense of propriety and bombarding her with questions.
“I’ve always been curious about the ancient Rondam gladiator fights. I saw on the Internet that there would be a Duel Tournament here, so I came to see it,” Isabelle explained.
“I wonder what website you use to find information about the Duel Tournament. I often come here and know a bit about Melfrey and this tournament. This tournament is much more brutal than gladiator fights since the participants are humans. Ordinary websites wouldn’t dare publish such information, George said.
“Oh is that so?” Isabelle responded, not falling for his trap.
When George saw Isabelle’s reaction, he thought she would say, If I had known it was so dangerous, I wouldn’t have come here.
He was surprised when she instead said, “Then I must see it tomorrow.”
George chuckled silently and asked, “Miss Jenkins is really brave. Did you come here alone?”
“Yes, alone. Fortunately, I met you, Mr. Harris. Otherwise, I might have been in danger,” Isabelle replied.
“It’s indeed not safe for a girl to come here alone. Miss Jenkins, how many days are you planning to stay? If you don’t mind, we can travel together,” George suggested.
Isabelle readily agreed, “Sure.”
The scenery outside the car window passed quickly, but the brightly lit headquarters of the God’s Armament Alliance was always in Isabelle’s sight. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She thought to herself. This God’s Armament Alliance headquarters is huge. It can be seen from anywhere in Melfrey, as long as you stand a little higher.

look, Isabelle commented.
Dylan, who was driving, heard Isabelle’s words and glanced in the direction she was looking. When he saw the large golden light in the distance, he couldn’t help but cough awkwardly. “Ahem, ahem….
A tourist attraction? She dared to say that.
And she dared to choose it as a place to visit.
George’s gaze shifted from Isabelle’s head to her body, and he smiled slightly. “Yes, it’s a tourist attraction. If Miss Jenkins wants to go in and explore, I can take you there.”
