For these people, James Parker wasn’t really worried. Although this time things seemed to have gone incredibly well, it’s not as if no one ever has such good luck. Judging from those wounds, James Parker was confident that no one would be able to spot anything unusual. In fact, even if there was something suspicious, his identity as a child was enough to dispel any doubts others might have.

The only loophole was with the scar-faced man.

With one move, he deflected the opponent’s attack, then slashed his arm, cut his thigh, and finally stabbed the dagger into the man’s buttocks—all done cleanly and in one smooth motion.

It was too clean!

At the time, it was pouring rain, darkness all around, the downpour interfering, and it was also James Parker’s first time taking action since acquiring this body, so he didn’t dare hold back. Precisely because of this, he left the only flaw.

Once that scar-faced man regained consciousness and thought carefully about what had happened, it was very likely he would become suspicious of him. Moreover, when the helicopter landed and Sarah Lane came running from afar, crying and hugging Lily and James Parker, James Parker clearly saw that the dying scar-faced man on the stretcher being carried out of the helicopter still shot him a vicious glare.

If only he had faked a mistake and killed him outright.

This brand-new life was so precious that James Parker wanted to embrace the future in the purest state possible. It wasn’t that he was averse to killing, but he didn’t want to leave any unusual hidden dangers for the future. Having been a killer, he naturally understood the necessity of every bit of caution.

However, this man had committed armed robbery and kidnapping, and if you really counted, there was also attempted rape. Plus, he had offended a powerful family like the The Bolton Family. There was no way he’d get out of prison in less than ten years. Although it wouldn’t be too hard to finish him off in the hospital before he went to court, that would be an even bigger risk. After thinking it over, James Parker decided to let it go.

After all, he was just a small-time thug. When he gets out of prison, it’ll be easy enough to take him out with a sniper rifle.

As for Emily Bolton, she probably found him a bit strange, but not suspicious. Since she wasn’t going to marry William Harris, they wouldn’t have much contact in the future, so it didn’t really matter.

After showering at a hotel near the airport, changing into clean clothes, and eating a bowl of three-delicacy noodles, they were driven home by a car from the The Bolton Family. Emily Bolton sat in the front passenger seat, dressed in a white and green tracksuit, her hair tied in a ponytail, looking fresh and athletic. Lily and Sarah chatted away in the back seat, recounting the thrilling events of the previous night, followed by Sarah marveling at James Parker’s incredible luck.

When they arrived at the Bennett Martial Arts School, the three prepared to get out of the car. Emily Bolton turned around and smiled, saying, “Well then, see you!”

“Goodbye, Sister 雅涵.” Lily was always polite. James Parker just nodded, thinking to himself: Farewell forever.

Just as they got out of the car, Emily stuck her head out the window again, looking at the sign for the Bennett Martial Arts School in surprise and saying, “Wow, Lily, your family runs a martial arts school?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s great.” Emily pushed open the car door and got out. “After what happened yesterday, I was just thinking of finding a place to learn some self-defense.”

That’s not great at all, James Parker thought, and said aloud, “This martial arts school is for kids!”

“What does it matter?” Emily smiled sweetly. “I’m a kid too, just a bit older than you. I’m only nineteen.”

“Don’t listen to James Parker’s nonsense, sis. Dad never said he only teaches kids—it’s just that all the students now happen to be children. Come with me.” Seizing the chance to bring in business for the family, Lily immediately sold out her childhood friend, pulling Emily into the martial arts school. James Parker could only sigh inwardly, wondering how much of her interest in martial arts was because of him.

In any case, the Bennett Martial Arts School accepts all students. From then on, the beautiful top student named Emily Bolton joined the martial arts class and didn’t miss a single day all summer. Every time he saw her practicing Wing Chun with Lily, James Parker couldn’t help but want to laugh.

However, taking on such a female student did bring in quite a bit of extra business for the school. Emily’s profession was teaching. Although she hadn’t officially started teaching yet, she was very enthusiastic about helping kids. Whenever she tutored Lily in some middle school subjects, many other children would bring their homework to ask her questions, and she patiently explained everything to them.

After word got out that the Bennett Martial Arts School had a teacher who had studied abroad at Cambridge, families who had been hesitating quickly sent their children over. In the last month of summer vacation, business at the martial arts school was truly booming. Lily was overjoyed about this and became extremely close with Emily. Only James Parker, every time Lily attended a lesson, would be dragged along to “make progress together,” which nearly drove him crazy.

But he still had to endure!
