Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Ten minutes later, Julian and Quinn walked behind her brothers. They were heading to Power Fitness.

Summervale was livelier when dark fell. Although it was not as bustling as Wiltspoon, the city lights illuminated the streets.

Mark said, "You can go up against me first, Julian. My dad trained us three, so we have similar moves. If you can beat me, you'll have a greater chance of challenging my brother. He started training several years before I did. He's stronger and faster.

"He has also been teaching more advanced students while I'm still overseeing kids. It's because I'm still young and not as famous as Will."

In Summervale, Quinn's brothers were well-known in the martial arts circle.

Julian said, "If so, it's unfair to Will. It's okay. I'll have a match with him right away. I can accept any outcome. I train to strengthen my body and defend myself, not for fame."

Quinn grinned. "Why do you need fame when you're a businessman? You're already popular in Wiltspoon's business industry. I saw most people treating you politely during Mr. York's wedding. Some people were so respectful that they looked afraid to offend you."

Although Quinn was not involved in business and was unaware of the Bucham family's influence, she could guess his status through how others treated him.

"Everyone was polite to me because of you. I felt like I've fallen under the protection of someone great."

She laughed. "I don't think you're involved solely in business, Julian. Do you still have other identities that I don't know of?"

"No. I'm just Julian, the CEO of Bucham Group and a young master of the Bucham family. I'm meant to succeed my father," he stated.

"My family started off as private investigators. We still have a wide network of connections, so we're skilled in collecting intel. We've assisted many who have sought our family to help them gather information, so they're all courteous toward us.

"I'm also in possession of many of their secrets, so they're afraid of offending me as I can expose their secrets anytime," added Julian in a whisper.

He smiled, "While they may seem friendly, they might hate me a lot and think of me as a ticking time bomb that can ruin them anytime. If they could, they'd probably hire assassins after me.

"That's why I'm constantly in danger, and others might be dragged into this as well. As you can see, I rarely interact with my friends openly in Wiltspoon. My whereabouts are also kept a secret, so it's hard to find me. Actually, I'm scared of being assassinated.

"You saw how many men from the motorcycle gang were out for me that night. They were going to kidnap and finish me off. Luckily, you happened to pass by and saved me. Otherwise, my dead body would've been discarded in the wild or thrown into the sea."

Quinn asked, "Is it really as bad as it sounds?"

Julian looked toward her. He asked, "Are you scared? People who are close to me may encounter misfortunes. Those who cannot do anything to me will attempt to hurt those close to me."

Quinn told him, "If so, you wouldn't be that close to Mr. York and the rest. Why should I be afraid? That word is not in my dictionary. Unless they have a gun, they won't be able to hurt me."

"Zachary is a prominent figure. Of course, those people wouldn't dare attempt something on him. However, he always has a few personal bodyguards tagging him whenever he heads out. No one is allowed to approach him. It's not easy to kill or kidnap Zachary."
