NovelEnglishUnder the evening street lights, Sterling and Puelo were puffing away. The two chatted about the past as they could not help but recall their ton Phoenix Island.

Why didn't I notice you at all?" Puelo continue, "I, as one of the top six in Universal Group, was sent to the Northern Territory." "The Northern Territory... Oh, I see." Puelo nodded and explained, "But I was actually of no use. One of my colleagues and I were flying a plane for the boss. However, that colleague was later asked by the boss to cut down the trees.
"When he cback, heplained tofor a long time, saying he would've swapped places withif he had known earlier." Sterling chuckled lightly after hearing this. "Haha, you guys are really interesting." "Right?" Then, Puelo stamped out the cigarette butt.
"Well, Mr. Wickham, what are you going to do next?" "Me?" Sterling was confused by the question, but he also realized there was something else Puelo was inferring.
Sterling shook his head. "I'm not planning to go anywhere. I'll just go back to that tiny cabin, where I'll eat and drink as I please without worrying about anything every day." "Then..." Puelo persisted with his question and asked, "What about you and Lenyra?" "If she wants to follow me, then I'll let her followfor now." Everything Sterling had told Nash and the others before was true. He truly did not know how to deal with Lenyra's feelings. However, to drive her away now would be unkind.

I thought you had changed, but in reality, I just don't know you well enough." "You're being silly." Sterling waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to hide between us considering you're my martial brother." "Haha, fine, fine." Puelo knew that Sterling had seen through his intentions, so he simply handed over his business card.
"I know it's a bit presumptuous to persuade you to join Universal Group now, so please keep this card for now." Sterling looked at the business card and had no choice but to accept it. He said, "You really can't keep things to yourself at all. I already knew what you meant when you said the first sentence. What's the matter? What's so good about this Universal Group that even you want to stay there?" Puelo shook his head and said, "Universal Group isn't good at all." "Then why..." Sterling was puzzled.
Puelo explained, "I want you to join the group not because I want you to know what's going on inside. I simply want you to join the ranks of the Universal Top Six." "The Universal Top Six... Would you be the Universal Invincible if I joined the group..." Sterling whined.
However, Puelo did not laugh. He said in a solemn tone, "Actually, don't think your plan is wise, Mr. Wickham. I think everyone should at least have a purpose. Maybe this is the difference between us. I can't be idle. sŵ "The reason invited you is because we were from the ssect and trust you. Secondly, I want to help you. After all, you have Lenyra depending on you now, so you can't live without ie-" S Sterling interrupted Puelo, "Alright." If he did not stop Puelo, he would have to listen to a long lecture. Sterling promised his good friend and said, "Okay, okay. Thank you for your concern, Senior Puelo. I'll join you, okay?" "Hehe, that's great! I'll meet you at thepany tomorrow," Puelo said, smiling sincerely.
Back at the rental house, Sterling had mixed emotions as he looked at the sound-asleep Lenyra. Sterling looked at her face, and the scene before Patricia's death flashed through his mind unconsciously.
