Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Chapter 529: Courting Disaster (Part 3)


The life and death of myself and the girl with glasses might be just a thought away for Luke.

Lilith suddenly remembered the first time she met Luke at the party at the female Deputy Mayor's house, right after she'd bought the treasure Luke found at an auction. She wanted to know about Luke's treasure hunting experience, but was flatly refused by him.

At that time, she thought this man was not generous enough. Now she thinks that maybe during Luke's last treasure hunt, he also encountered something unspeakable.

For example, murder and treasure snatching.

Perhaps this wasn't the first time.

Lilith shivered, her body shrunk back in the bathtub. She really didn't like the feeling of someone else controlling her life.

Never treasure hunt again, she thought of home at this moment, even wanted to cry.

No, I can't just accept my fate like this.

Luke hadn't acted, which meant there was still room to change the situation. She could still influence and change Luke's decision.

For instance, raise Luke's percentage of the treasure share, increase his favor towards her...

Half an hour later.

Lilith walked through the living room and reached outside the cockpit.

The door of the cockpit was not closed. Luke heard footsteps and glanced sharply towards the door.

With just one glance, Lilith felt her heart pounding wildly.

Luke was tall with an impressive aura. Lilith quite liked his appearance, but that wasn't why her heart was racing.

Luke eyed Lilith as well. She had changed into a pink, sleeveless dress, her figure graceful, with a pair of long, white legs exposed, quite dazzling.

"Is there something you need?"

"Is the girl with glasses not here? I'm looking for her to have a drink."

Luke shrugged, teasingly said, "She might be in her room fixing the satellite phone."

Lilith "..."

Is it too late to leave now?

Lilith took a deep breath, quietly cheering herself on, and leaned casually against the cockpit door, "Do you want to have a drink?"

"Why not?"

The two walked into the living room, Luke sat down on the soft sofa, and Lilith went to the bar, taking two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.

"Although the local rum is quite distinctive, I still prefer red wine." Lilith poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Luke, "The first glass to celebrate our successful treasure find."

Luke clinked glasses with her, "Cheers!"

He planned to sip half a glass but finished it when he saw Lilith down hers.

Lilith poured two more glasses and clinked with Luke, "The second glass, I want to thank you.

Today Elsa Marin..." Lilith showed a sorrowful expression, "I don't want to mention her again.

I just want to say, thankfully you arrived in time, otherwise, I might have been... buried on some deserted island now."

With that, Lilith downed her drink again.

Luke laughed, "Are you trying to get me drunk?"

"No, I just don't know how to express my gratitude.

I was being held at gunpoint by a tattooed man, already in despair, thinking I was going to die.

You appeared just in time like a superhero, killing the bad guys.

Wow, you were super handsome at that moment."

Sitting very close, Luke could faintly smell a light perfume scent, jokingly said, "Did you fall for me?"

"Honestly?"

"Of course."

"For a moment, I did have the urge to fall in love with you." Lilith didn't lie, for a split second she was drawn to the tough guy in front of her.

Many women have a deep-seated admiration for strong men.

Under the light, Lilith's fair cheeks had a slight rosy tint, her exquisite features looked even more stunning. Not to mention, this woman's body, face, and temperament were very much in line with Chinese aesthetic.

The two locked eyes, the atmosphere becoming somewhat unusual.

Luke slowly leaned in, wrapped his left arm around her slender waist, and couldn't help but kiss her red lips.

Lilith was stunned, instinctively wanting to dodge, but Luke scooped her up onto his lap, his large hand reaching inside the dress, caressing her voluptuousness, making her body go soft.

She stared with big watery blue eyes, this wasn't how the script was supposed to go...
