Face-Slapping System



Stacey had already texted Carrol that Roland wanted to meet with her. Carrol agreed without hesitation as she also had something to say to Roland as well.

Ever since the incident that day, Carrol had distanced herself from Stacey as Roland and his bodyguards were more than enough to guarantee her safety. Of course, she would still be around the area to prevent some minor accidents from happening. It was just she was now guarding Stacey in a passive state, unlike before.

Now, Roland and his bodyguards could have easily contacted her if they wanted to. However, contacting her through legitimate means and through an investigator's means were two different things.

After they alighted the car, Stacey went ahead and led them to a bench. She then took her phone to text Carrol that they were here.

This area was not that far from the mall. They were now in a children's park, and because it was already night, it was already deserted, but the place was still well-lit.

Roland looked around as the bodyguards except One scattered around the area to monitor their safety.

Roland looked towards a particular direction and after a few seconds, a slim figure could be seen slowly approaching them.

Wearing a leather jacket and leather tight pants, Carrol's figure gradually closed in towards them.

Roland and Carrol has already met before, and their first meeting was nothing but full of misunderstandings. They nodded at each other slightly as if to acknowledge each other's presence.

On the other hand, upon seeing Carrol, Stacey was obviously excited. It has been a few months since she last saw her. As someone who took care of her since she was young, Carrol was obviously very close to her.

"Carrol!" Stacey exclaimed, as she immediately took a step towards Carrol to give her a tight hug.

"I missed you so much!" She continued, still hugging Carrol tightly, and to which Carrol responded with a smile and a big hug as well.

"I miss you too, Miss!" Carrol replied formally.

Even though the two of them were very close, Carrol still addressed Stacey as such as she knew that there were certain lines that she must not cross as a servant, something that Roland did not understand for now.

Or perhaps, he did, but he just doesn't care.

"Right, meet my boyfriend, Roland, and our friend, who is also his driver, Janine," after the tight hug, Stacey introduced Roland and Janine to Carrol.

Unbeknownst to her, Carrol already knew of their existence. As Stacey's bodyguard from the dark, it was her duty to investigate the people who came close to Stacey. It was only when she worked at the mall that Carrol decided to relax her surveillance around her, that inadvertently made her overlook Roland during that fateful day.

She has also been observing from afar, so she already knew about Janine and even all the maids in Pure Dew Villa.

After the simple introduction, Stacey wanted to catch up with Carrol a bit, but she knew that Roland still had something important to ask of Carrol. So, she dragged Janine away and allowed Carrol and Roland to talk in private.

"What did you want to ask?" Carrol asked curiously.

"You've seen what happened yesterday, right?" Instead of answering, Roland asked a question of his own.

She nodded her head and said, "Yes, I observed from afar but I don't know the exact details."

The main incident took place in that mansion, and she was just around Sparkling Buds to monitor Stacey's safety. She was vaguely aware of what had happened due to Stacey and Janine's actions, but the details were also a mystery to her at this moment.

"We fought a cultivator," Roland went straight to the point.

There were a lot of things that he was curious about. Although he may have the strength of a cultivator, Roland knew that he and his bodyguards weren't really cultivators at the end of the day. Aside from that, he was also ignorant as a child when it came to these things.

As a real cultivator, Carrol ought to know a lot of things regarding them.

Hearing his straightforward remark, Carrol made a frown. She did not think that the situation was that serious. And apart from that, she was surprised to hear that there was another cultivator in here aside from her and Roland's gang who appeared out of thin air.

Normally, cultivators would not go to such a remote place, especially Fore City, which was almost at the edge of Pearl Province. The energy here was nonexistent, no cultivator would go here as they won't be able to cultivate and grow stronger.

She has a good reason for being here, Roland and on the other hand, she didn't know, but they must have their reasons as well.

As for the cultivator that they had encountered, she wondered what their agenda was for being here.

"He goes by the name Razor," Roland continued as Carrol listened intently.

"He was a level 2 cultivator. And then he upgraded to level 3 midst battle."

Carrol frowned, realizing how serious the situation was.

Even she herself was only a level 2 cultivator at this moment. However, as expected of Roland and his group, they even managed to deal with a level 3 cultivator. She thought silently.

At this moment, she still didn't know that Roland has already leveled to 3 as well, completely surpassing her in terms of raw physical strength.

"We killed him. He claimed that he's from White Tiger Nation, and that he is an underling of a man named Tiger Tyrant," Roland stated calmly.

Carrol's frown deepened even more from the situation.

'Was it just a coincidence?' She thought.

To think that the cultivator was actually from White Tiger Nation as well just like her. Were they perhaps here for Stacey?

"So, my question is. Do you know of this Tiger Tyrant guy?" Roland looked at Carrol straight in the eye.

Knowing one's enemy was always better than being left in the dark. Especially when it was a cultivator that he was dealing with.
