The Untouchable Ex-Wife

The plane touched down at Goldshire the next morning. A long row of cars waited at the exit
ostentatiously, as if they were welcoming a diplomat.
“Liam!” A man in sunglasses and a floral shirt waved at Liam from afar. He even held a
toothpick between his teeth, which was visible with his wide grin. His skin was tanned, and
he was thin and tall. There were two dragons tattooed on his arms, and it was clear that he
wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
“Matt!” Liam waved back heartily, and whispered to Renee, “That’s Mateo Harrison, the
subordinate my master values the most. He’s cruel and fierce, so everyone in this city is
afraid of him. If you want to win my master’s trust, you have to win Matt over first.”
While he was talking, Mateo walked over to Liam. Mateo hugged Liam enthusiastically,
smacking the latter’s back playfully. ‘Kiddo, you’re back! Looks like you still have a heart,
eh? Master always talks about you, so he’s going to be so happy you’re back.”
“Of course! Master is like a father to me, after all, so I have to come back and see him.”
Liam said to Mateo with a smile.
“Pfft!” Renee stifled her laughter as she recalled how anxious Liam had been ten minutes
earlier. Now, he looked like he was returning to a beloved hometown-he really was skilled at
acting!
Renee’s laughter caught Mateo’s attention, and he frowned in displeasure. He glared at her
fiercely, sizing her up as if he wanted to teach her a lesson. “Who is this woman? Was she
laughing at me?”

“This is the woman I always talked about. She’s Renee Everheart, my beloved goddess.
She’s now my girlfriend. I brought her here for you, Master, and Joanne to see...” Liam said
and held Renee’s shoulders affectionately. ‘She laughed because she was happy, not
because she was laughing at you.”
Mateo was still unconvinced, and narrowed his eyes at Renee suspiciously. “Is that so?”
“Umm... Yes.” Renee did not want to create trouble, so she just nodded.
“You know that Master doesn’t like to meet irrelevant people. It’s fine if she’s your girlfriend,
but if she’s here with ulterior motives, there’s gonna be trouble for her... and for you,” Mateo
warned menacingly.
“Yes, I know.”
“Let’s go. Master’s ordered a huge feast to be served. He’s eager to meet his disciple!”
Both Renee and Liam arrived at a fort belonging to Benjamin Jenkins, Liam’s master, under
Mateo’s lead. The fort was far from the city center, and was protected by armed guards and
strict security procedures. Hence, a lot of people addressed Benjamin as Draco,
symbolising that he was the king there that nobody dared to offend.
The car stopped before the fort, and the armed guards frisked Renee and Liam before
allowing them to enter the fort.
A butterfly knife that Renee had brought with her had been confiscated. It meant that she
would have no chance to fight back if she had a conflict with them.
She was at their mercy.

As they walked into the rainforest-like fort, the villagers there eyed them coldly. It made
Renee feel like they had entered a cannibal village.
Renee anxiously swallowed. She finally understood why Liam had been so worried.
Liam could sense her anxiety, and reassuringly nudged her shoulders.”
Boss, there’s no need to be so nervous. You have me!”
