Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 25

The fist landed squarely on Grayson’s face, and {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} his tall body shook violently. After a few seconds of silence, the birds, startled by the sudden noise, took flight at once. Grayson, who had been hesitating and stepping back when the sound of flapping wings faded away, slowly turned his head.

When his face returned to its original position, Dane stopped for the first time. His deep purple eyes were glowing with an eerie light. For a moment, they turned gold, then turned purple, and then mixed with gold again.

“Pheuheu. Hehehehe.”

An ominous laugh escaped Grayson’s mouth. At the same time, a huge amount of pheromones spread throughout his body. It was clear that he was unable to control his immense excitement and was overflowing against his will. Dane unconsciously felt goosebumps and took a step back. He really seemed crazy.

“Ahahahahahaha, hahahaha, hahahahaha!”

He was laughing. As if he was dying because he was so happy. As evidence, Grayson, who had once trembled greatly, slowly but firmly clenched his two fists.

“This is self-defense.”

He then flew at an astonishing speed. Towards Dane.

More time passed by than he had expected. Wilkins looked anxiously between his watch and the mountain.

“Isn’t this taking too long?”

Someone said something and the other person answered.

“That’s right. Even at the earliest, it would have been time to get back.”

“And it’s strange that Dane is this late? Something must have happened, right?”

“Surely the firefighters are going to rescue the firefighters? And that firefighter is Dane?”

Deandre bit his thumbnails nervously as they continued to babble about this and that, unable to hide their worries. Dane and Grayson disappeared behind the mountain, and a long time passed. DeAndre also fully anticipated that his request was being fulfilled there. The problem was that it was taking too long. What on earth was going on? Could it be that something happened to Dane...? That’s ridiculous. Dane is our ace. There’s no way that someone like Miller could do something to Dane.

But still, what if...?

He looked anxiously in the direction they disappeared. There shouldn’t have been anything wrong.

Ah, Dane stumbled violently with a loud noise. A groan of surprise escaped his lips. He almost rolled down the slope. The steep slope led to a cliff that was so deep that it was scary to look down at. If he rolled and didn’t stop in time, he would fall down there and suffer a fracture at the very least, or even his life if he was unlucky.

Wasn't this the place he chose?

For the first time, he questioned his choice, but he didn't have time to think deeply. Grayson kicked him right away. Contrary to his expectations, he was quite flexible and especially good at using his body. Perhaps he had met a fairly prestigious teacher and learned many martial arts. Of course, that wasn't true, but Dane, who didn't know Grayson well, could easily guess that Grayson was no ordinary opponent.

I just thought he was a young master who was just having fun.

What a disaster. He had no choice but to admit his mistake. He regretted it later. If he had known it would get this big, he should have received at least $100. He had already paid more than $38.25, and now he was annoyed that he had to use his body to get out of here. The thing he hated the most in the world was this kind of useless waste of time and effort. That's why he shouldn't have participated in such a foolish thing in the first place!

Regret came rushing in like a tidal wave, but there was no time to be immersed in sentiment. Dane quickly lowered his upper body to avoid Grayson’s attack, and at the same time, he placed his hands on the ground and grounded his legs to grab the man’s ankles. Grayson, who had been attacking on one leg, easily rolled on the ground, and Dane took advantage of the opportunity to take over him.

For a while, the two rolled around on the dirt, tossing and turning. When Dane punched Grayson in the face, Grayson grabbed Dane by the neck and threw him to the ground, and Dane crossed his long legs over Grayson, who was strangling him, and broke away with an armbar. As he continued to press Grayson with his legs, he swung his arms from below and tried to strangle Dane again.

He had a good physique and strength, so he was pretty good for an ordinary person. But it was impossible, Dane laughed at him while his nose was bleeding. He hadn’t been in the military for three years just for fun. No matter how great he was, what could a mere civilian do against a professionally trained former soldier?

The match was almost decided. Dane was planning to knock Grayson out and go down first. Dane had already done too much. If he told them the situation, the other guys would either drag him down or this guy would come to his senses and come down on his own.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

Anyway, I have no good connections with this guy. Of course, even if he were to offer a good relationship, I would decline, but this was already the third time he had knocked someone out. Maybe it would really be right to just leave this town.

I don't believe in fate or anything. But the fact that we keep meeting and getting entangled like this is not a good sign at all. And the other person and the crime were not good. He had to knock down the crazy psychopath who was handcuffed to a burning mansion and laughed while pressing down on Omega with pheromones, and who had so much money that he had lost it, three times with pheromones and his fists. Of course, this situation was a request he had accepted, so he had nothing to say... ... .

Damn, it was even more annoying when I wrote it down. Nothing had worked out since this guy came to my quiet workplace. I might have to seriously talk to Darling about leaving this neighborhood soon.

That was when I thought about it and put pressure on him for the last time. Suddenly, Grayson grabbed Dane’s arm. I thought it was a last-ditch effort, but what happened next was something I hadn’t expected. Grayson pulled Dane with incredible force, and in the moment he let his guard down, Dane rolled down the slope with Grayson.

The test that had started in the light of day didn’t end until the sun was slowly setting. Everyone who had gathered was looking at the mountain anxiously. Finally, Ezra, who couldn't stand it anymore, spoke urgently.

"Shouldn't we go? Is there an accident?"

Starting with those words, voices of concern followed from here and there.

"It's taking too long. There must be something wrong! Dane can't be this late."

"If he's hurt, the sooner we can rescue him, the better. Even if he's Dane, if he's unlucky, there's nothing we can do, right?"

"Miller will take care of it, but Dane needs to be saved!"

Wilkins was embarrassed by the outcry. He was worried too, but it was hard to move his body as he was new to the situation. However, telling the staff to wait a little longer was now his limit. He couldn't afford to waste any more time. No matter how small the mountain was, it would be difficult to search after the sun went down. It would be better to move as quickly as possible. While thinking that way and struggling to find the right timing, an unexpected voice suddenly came.

“What are you all doing here? If you have time, you should be doing some physical training instead of just gathering and chatting!”

They all turned around at the stern reprimand. As expected, the chief was standing there watching them with an angry face.

“Um, that, chief... ... .”

Ezra tried to form something, but it wasn’t easy. Seeing his struggling appearance, Wilkins took responsibility and stepped forward.

“I’m sorry, Miller’s physical test was in progress.”

“Physical test? Miller? You didn’t even tell me?”
