Chapter 15

Isn’t this the same person who, last time he delivered a package, ended up delivering a vibrating egg and a pink adult massage wand?

  A graceful figure immediately appeared in his mind—a stunningly beautiful face, a tall and enchanting body. Brian Carter had no particular thoughts about that beauty. Not only had he just been dumped and wasn’t in the mood, but even if he were, he knew his place. He and a top-tier beauty like Jason Bennett simply lived in different worlds.

  Still, everyone appreciates beauty. Taking a few more glances at a pretty woman is never a bad thing.

  Especially when it’s someone as outstanding as Jason Bennett.

  But then, thinking of a pink vibrating egg and a pink adult massage wand, Brian Carter felt a bit flustered.

  That time, the other party had thrown the vibrating egg and massage wand out in apparent anger just before he left, but who knew if it was just for the sake of appearances? Maybe she picked them up again as soon as he turned his back.

  Honestly, even if a man bought a blow-up doll online and was caught in the act, he’d probably deny it too.

  “Looks like she’s also a fan of online shopping.” With a slight smile, Brian Carter, after working as a courier for over a month, was well aware that a large portion of the items he delivered were bought online.

  In this information-rich world, you don’t even need to leave your house to shop. Online shopping has become a trend, and the bridge between buyers and sellers is the courier company.

  Within a courier company, each courier’s delivery area is basically fixed. That means if someone in the area shops online frequently, it’s likely the same courier delivers every time. Of course, if you run into a difficult customer, you’ll have to deal with them every time too—provided they use the same courier company. If last time they used the postal service and this time they use Shiguang, the courier will definitely be different.

  A strange thought flashed through his mind. After tidying up the packages, Brian Carter picked them up and headed out.

Chapter 009: Challenging Me?!

  Today, the weather was once again bright and sunny. Riding his bike through the streets, Brian Carter no longer felt the slightest bit of heat. Instead, he felt cool and refreshed at all times, as if he were soaking in a spiritual spring—this was the effect of cultivation.

  After entering the Skin and Hair Stage, even when not actively cultivating, he found that the scorching sunlight barely affected him anymore. His strength and stamina had also increased two or threefold. In the past, after a day of cycling, he’d be exhausted when he got home, but yesterday, the day before, and even the day before that, after a whole day of hard work, he didn’t feel tired at all and was still full of energy.

  Of course, even now as he moved along, Brian Carter was still immersed in the world of cultivation. The greatest feature of this technique was that as long as you were under sunlight—or even moonlight, since moonlight is just reflected sunlight—you could cultivate.

  There was no need for any special posture, just a bit of mental focus to maintain that unique breathing rhythm, and you could automatically absorb the solar energy contained in the sunlight to temper your body.

  He had only just entered the Skin and Hair Stage. To fully master it and reach the next stage would still take some time, letting the technique gradually refine his skin and hair until they reached perfection, at which point he would enter the next stage: Muscles and Tendons.

  An hour later.

  Building 8, Antai Community. After locking his bike downstairs, Brian Carter strode briskly up the stairs. As he reached the fourth floor with a strange feeling in his heart, what he saw made him freeze in his tracks.

  At that moment, both doors in the hallway were tightly shut, but in front of apartment 401 stood three men. The leader wore only a white tank top, had a buzz cut, looked to be in his thirties, and was covered in bulging muscles. Standing there, he exuded an intimidating presence. An ordinary person would take one look and immediately think he was trouble. Behind him were two others, also in tank tops and jeans, one tall and one short.

  As Brian Carter arrived, the buzz-cut man was banging on the door of 401, while the other two smoked and chuckled. When they saw Brian Carter standing there, the taller youth with a cigarette in his mouth suddenly turned around, looked Brian Carter up and down, frowned, and said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

  “Delivering a package.” Brian Carter frowned as well and raised the parcel in his hand. In fact, he didn’t even need to say it; the others could probably tell. Shiguang Express was fairly well managed here, and all employees wore uniforms when delivering—yellow T-shirts with the company name printed on the front and back.

  “Heh, for 401?” The tall guy frowned again but still strode over. When he saw the recipient’s name, he turned and grinned, “Brother William, it’s a package for Jason Bennett. Want to see what this beauty ordered?”

  “Jason Bennett, I know you’re home. Be smart and open the door. It’s only right to pay your debts. Your brother ran off after borrowing money, so of course we’re coming to you. Don’t think you can just hide, damn it!” The buzz-cut Brother William suddenly shouted, cursing as he kicked the door hard before turning and striding toward Brian Carter. Without a word, he reached out to grab the package.

  “Wait, this isn’t yours.” Brian Carter frowned deeply and slapped away the buzz-cut man’s hand.

  The buzz-cut man’s face darkened on the spot, his eyes widening. He raised his other hand and swung it straight at Brian Carter’s face. “Damn it, you want to challenge me?!”
