"Kingpin?"

Ke Chen naturally knew of Kingpin, so when Elektra mentioned the name, he was curious as well.

"Yes, Kingpin is a ruthless man."

At the mention of that name, Elektra seemed somewhat afraid.

She then explained in detail just how terrifying Kingpin was, warning Ke Chen not to provoke him.

Ke Chen knew she was concerned about him, so he nodded.

"Don't worry. As long as he doesn't come looking for trouble with me, I won't bother with him."

That depended on whether Kingpin would avenge Bullseye.

After all, from Elektra's account, Kingpin seemed to care deeply about Bullseye.

Bullseye was his loyal subordinate.

Elektra nodded and did not speak of her past any further.

She did not want Ke Chen to form any negative impressions because of it and distance himself from her.

After taking Elektra home, Ke Chen headed back as well.

Although Elektra had wanted to invite him inside for a while, everyone knew what would have happened.

But seeing that Elektra was injured, Ke Chen refused.

After all, she still had a wound at her waist. Moving around would definitely be inconvenient.

After parking in the underground garage, he noticed that the lights in the living room were on.

"Lorna?"

Sure enough, green-haired Lorna was still awake. She was watching television, though she was clearly distracted.

"You're back."

Only after seeing Ke Chen return did Lorna finally let out a sigh of relief.

But once she came over to him, she immediately looked him over with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You smell like another woman's perfume."

Lorna looked at Ke Chen as she spoke, but there was no resentment in her tone.

She knew she could never have Ke Chen all to herself. She had long expected this day to come.

Ke Chen gave a bitter smile at those words.

He had even deliberately sped home with the windows open, yet Elektra's perfume scent had still lingered.

There was nothing he could do. Westerners loved wearing perfume. Not only women used it; men did too.

Some men in particular wore such heavy perfume that it was downright nauseating.

"A friend."

Ke Chen did not explain much.

"Maybe she'll come by tomorrow. Then you'll see her."

He was not afraid of Lorna meeting Elektra. Would a king of the sea fear a mere jealous confrontation?

They should be the ones trying to please him!

"Don't talk..."

Lorna immediately grabbed him and dragged him toward the bedroom.

Declaring her territory!

The next day, Elektra indeed came by.

With Bullseye no longer tying her down, and with Ke Chen strong enough not to be harmed, she naturally had no more reservations.

However, the person who opened the door for her was not Ke Chen, but a green-haired woman.

More importantly, the green-haired woman was wearing an obviously oversized white dress shirt, tilted her head, and looked at her with a faintly mocking smile.

"Who are you? Why are you wearing Ke Chen's clothes?"

Elektra asked, forcibly suppressing her anger.

She had only gone two months without seeing Ke Chen, and someone had already beaten her to it?

She had clearly been there first!

"You're Elektra, the one he mentioned?"

With the smile of a victor, Lorna said, "Didn't he tell you? My name is Lorna, and I'm his..."

"My sister."

Ke Chen came out from inside at that moment and did not let Lorna continue.

Otherwise, Elektra's old injuries would definitely flare up from anger.

He had not expected Lorna to be so aggressive.

A miscalculation, a miscalculation.

"Sister?"

Elektra looked at Ke Chen, then at Lorna. There was not the slightest resemblance between them.

But she clearly understood what was going on inside, and could only curse men for being pigs.

"I made a hearty breakfast. Come have some."

Ke Chen pushed Lorna aside and invited Elektra in first.

Elektra thought about it and chose to endure the humiliation, walking in with a wronged expression.

At least good food should never be refused.

"You can cook?"

Looking at the lavish breakfast, Elektra asked in surprise.

"Try it."

Hearing Ke Chen's words, Elektra decided to give it a taste.

Her palate was not as limited as that of most Americans. Mainly because wealthy people had the means to enjoy a greater variety of foods.

As for the poor, who ate burgers and fried chicken every day, how could they possibly get used to Chinese cuisine?

Elektra did not have that problem. She had even been to Japan while studying ninjutsu, so she had some understanding and acceptance of Chinese food.

"Delicious!"

Elektra's eyes lit up, and the food immediately lifted her spirits.

Seeing her mood improve, Ke Chen introduced the two women to each other again.

But clearly, after Lorna's forceful opening move, it was difficult for Elektra to get along with her.

And in Elektra's heart, she still believed that she had come first.

She had known Ke Chen long ago, while Lorna was just some wild girl who had appeared out of nowhere.

How could Elektra possibly accept that?

Their relationship remained deadlocked like that.

Especially when she saw Lorna wearing Ke Chen's clothes in all sorts of ways, Elektra gritted her teeth in fury.

That bitch!

But Elektra had no chance to overtake her.

Lorna kept too close an eye on Ke Chen, leaving Elektra unable to find opportunities as good as before.

Amid Lorna and Elektra's open and covert rivalry, time flew by.

Soon, New Year's Eve arrived, and tomorrow would be 1998.

Although it was not the turn of the century, it still excited many people.

Ke Chen was also planning to take Elektra and Lorna out for a good time.

To be honest, he was the one benefiting from it.

Because Lorna was competing with Elektra, he got to try many new things.

Before this, Lorna had refused no matter what.

Now that Elektra posed a threat, Lorna had loosened up.

No wonder imperial consorts fought endlessly while so few emperors tried to stop them. The benefits all went to the emperor.

After all, in such competition, the consorts would only use every possible means to please the emperor.

Just as they were discussing where to go, a guest arrived at the villa.

Elektra opened the door and immediately looked outside in confusion. Standing there was a woman in office attire, clearly someone in a profession like a secretary.

"Elektra, who is it?"

Ke Chen asked casually.

As long as it was not someone sent by Kingpin, it was fine.

At first, they had guarded against Kingpin's retaliation, but they later discovered that Kingpin had made no move at all.

That made Ke Chen sigh. A figure like him truly knew how to endure.

"I don't know."

Elektra shook her head.

Then she looked at the woman before her and asked her to introduce herself.

The woman understood immediately and loudly introduced herself. "Hello, Mr. Ke Chen. I am Virginia 'Pepper' Potts from Stark Industries, currently Mr. Tony Stark's secretary."

"Come in."

Ke Chen had not expected it to be her, and so he invited her inside.

Soon, he saw the young Pepper Potts.

Pepper Potts had not been particularly sexy when she was young. Cute was the best way to describe her.

She had a few freckles on her face, making her less than perfect, but her figure and looks were still quite good.

Neither Lorna nor the others had freckles, so Pepper Potts seemed quite novel to Ke Chen.
