Chapter 274: Chapter 268 Temporary Lifting of Ban
Translator: 549690339
Emma Lewis’s heart wasn’t calm either; how powerful was Finn Lewis? Emma didn’t know much about Finn, but the events of that night echoed constantly in her mind. No matter whether Finn was part of the black or white community, his ability to hold so many people in the Flame Nation meant that he had tremendous power behind him!
Was Finn short on money? The answer to this question was already obvious. But despite being such a person, he could stay in the kitchen, calmly making dinner like an ordinary man. Emma wasn’t a naive girl. She could feel it; she was like a moth, and Finn, a raging fire.
She knew it was death to rush towards the fire, but she couldn’t stop herself from being drawn to the blazing flames. She was not a girl who lacked self-respect. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept her virginity until today, but today, she made a bold move she had never made before.
“Do you want to go home?” Emma suddenly asked Finn, who was cleaning up the dishes.
Finn was at a loss for words. It wasn’t a question of him staying or not; if he stayed, he couldn’t do anything. Damned if he could look but not touch, but his heart was burning. Finn didn’t want to stay and be tortured.
“I’ll go home then, and, um, you should rest early. I’ll visit you another day.” Finn averted his gaze, not daring to look at Emma. He scratched his head and said awkwardly.
Finn’s words struck a soft spot in Emma’s heart. She was clear about what would happen if Finn stayed. Just now, Finn had been avoiding her gaze. Emma knew she wasn’t completely unattractive. For a healthy, unmarried man like Finn, she knew the magnitude of her appeal.
But even though Finn didn’t choose to stay and chose to leave instead, a fog of tears welled up in Emma’s eyes. It was apparent that even though she had nothing and nobody, Finn had given her enough respect.
Emma stared at Finn, suddenly rushed over, wrapped her arms around Finn’s neck, and passionately kissed him. As she fell into his arms, Finn’s mind went blank momentarily before quickly returning to awareness.
His hands instinctively wrapped around Emma, an intoxicating scent pervaded his nostrils, he responded on instinct. Finn was going crazy; at this moment, he would rather be a real eunuch!
Just as Finn was contemplating suicide, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
“Temporary task issued, In the life of a noble: As a noble, you can’t refuse a beauty who throws herself at you. If you choose to accept the task, the penalties will be temporarily lifted. Define the mission reward: The penalties once accepted will be permanently cancelled. Task failure: The difficulty of triggering the lifting procedure multiples. This temporary task can be rejected; rejection won’t have any consequences.”
Finn was stunned to hear this; such tasks even exist?! Finn was distracted by the sudden reminder as he kissed Emma. Emma pulled away from Finn’s lips, she looked at him with a slightly dazed look: “Why are you spacing out? Do you need me to teach you the rest? Or was the last lesson a waste of time?” Finn roared lowly from his throat and pounced on her.
The morning sunlight shone through the thin, sandy curtains onto the bed. Finn opened his eyes to find Emma draped over him, her small face still stained with tears. Finn hadn’t let her off last night; under such circumstances, the one who could resist would truly be a saint. Even the virtuous Yan Hui would have had to kneel, not to mention Finn..
