The news of Justin’s criminal gang’s arrest in Southeast Aciatic spread rapidly. Television and the Internet were filled
with footage of the police escorting them. Justin, wearing a black hood and shackles on his legs and hands, walked
slowly due to a gunshot wound.
This time, the police seized drugs and conducted simultaneous raids on Justin’s hideouts in several neighboring
countries of Southeast Aciatic. Justin was now set to face an international trial, multiple charges, and the possibility
of the death penalty.
Press media from various countries were excited and competed to report this significant news. In the process of
reporting on Justin, they incidentally mentioned another criminal gang that the police had captured.
Through the screen, Lina saw Krystal, who appeared exhausted yet calm. Despite the handcuffs and the police
presence, Krystal still exuded the formidable presence of a boss who commanded the underworld.
Feeling a tinge of sadness, Lina agreed with Zuko’s earlier remark that one must pay the price for violating the law.

Snapping back to reality, Lina replied softly.
Zuko entered with a smile, followed by several designers and assistants pushing in five clothing racks filled with
dresses.
“It’s 3:00 p.m. now, and we have four hours until the evening banquet. The designers will help you choose a dress
and do your styling.”
Approaching her, Zuko reached out to embrace her slender waist.
After having just taken a shower, Lina carried a refreshing fragrance that was captivating and almost made Zuko
lose control of himself.
“So many clothes?” Lina widened her eyes.
“They were all chosen by Aunt Linda,” Zuko said with a smile. “The banquet will be held at the palace, and my
grandfather’s family, along with the general’s family, will be there. Aunt Linda wants you to look beautiful in front of
everyone!
“Oh, by the way, His Majesty, whom you didn’t meet when you came to Southeast Aciatic last time, will personally
welcome you tonight!”
Lina smiled, feeling honored by this supreme gesture.
“Don’t worry.” Zuko pinched her cheek. “His Majesty King Alexander is kind and easygoing. When I visited Southeast
Aciatic as a child, he even let me sit on his throne!”
“By the way,” he whispered in her ear, lowering his voice. “He’ll definitely like the person I like too.”
In fact, Zuko knew that if he liked someone, his entire family would also approve of that person.
Unable to resist, Zuko hugged Lina tightly.
It had only been a little over a week since the two girls were rescued from abduction, but for Zuko, it felt like
several centuries had passed. Every second without news of Lina during those days was tormenting.
Lina began trying on the dresses. They were all traditional attire from Southeast Aciatic, each one exquisite like a

No matter which dress she tried, Zuko always said she looked beautiful.
Lina giggled happily, wishing she had a few more bodies so she could wear all the beautiful clothes at once!
“Aunt Linda, why don’t you go in?” Toph came looking for the designers to help style Renee but noticed Linda
standing outside the room, gazing inside.
Linda hurriedly grabbed his arm and hushed him. “I’ll just stay here and watch her…”
Linda’s behavior took aback Toph. She used to be resolute and decisive, but now she stood outside the room like an
elementary school student outside the teacher’s office, fidgeting with her clothes. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for
her.
“Aunt Linda, you should go inside! Lina is your daughter. You don’t have to be so cautious…”
“No need!” Linda forced a smile. “Nic said we shouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable. I’ll just take a glance from
here, really! Oh… I think the nude pink one looked best on her out of all the outfits she tried on earlier. It
complements her fair skin and temperament!”
Toph bit his lip, feeling a mix of emotions.
