Elijah's face darkened, and his whole body exuded an even more unruly and oppressive aura, like an iceberg that made it hard for people to breathe.
William quickly withdrew his hand like lightning.
"I..."
He wanted to say something, but Elijah narrowed his eyes and spat out a sentence, "Get lost."
So William left.
Isabella, who was following behind, was not feeling well after experiencing the oppressive aura. She was sweating profusely and afraid that Elijah's anger would turn on her.
At that moment, she didn't even know how she would die.
However, just as William and Isabella were about to leave, Elijah called out to them, "Hold on."
The two of them stopped and looked at him with some confusion and fear.
Elijah, with his usual calm demeanor, said, "Your taste is really getting worse."
What did he mean?
Wasn't he saying that William's taste was terrible for choosing Isabella?
After speaking, regardless of what the two of them thought, Elijah took Emma and entered the Ten Li Fragrance.
The store was closed, and no one was allowed in today.
Because this place was booked.
Emma was a bit absent-minded throughout the whole process. Even her gaze towards Elijah became brighter.
He's so handsome!
As expected of a master, he can easily put William in his place and even make Isabella, the venomous scorpion, hesitate to act.
Emma was thrilled, she wanted to serve Elijah tea and spoke with excitement, "Brother, what do you want to eat? It's on me, you can order anything!"
She pushed the menu that the waiter brought to Elijah with a flattering expression, looking cute and clever.
Elijah chuckled.
The little girl probably didn't know that this restaurant was under his name.
However, he didn't plan to reveal it and casually ordered several dishes before handing the menu back to Emma.
Emma also didn't pretend and ordered several dishes according to her own taste.
In just ten minutes, all the dishes were served.
Emma tasted it and praised, "It's really worthy of its name! So delicious!"
No wonder this restaurant only accepts 99 customers per day but still has such good business.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the waiter also served a lot of fruit platters and desserts.
While Emma was still eating, Elijah suddenly asked, "Do you like archery?"
"Like."
Emma nodded, "When I was a child, my father often took me to play. I was wild and liked horse riding and archery. After a few years, I became quite skilled."
There was nothing to hide about this, especially since Elijah must have seen her and David's competition in the dark room last time.
Elijah nodded and suddenly said, "Then I'll give you something."
As he spoke, the waiter suddenly walked in with a red box in his hands, gently placing it on the table before retreating and closing the door to the private room.
Emma blinked, momentarily not understanding what Elijah meant.
But then he raised his chin, gesturing, "Open it and take a look."
Emma wiped her hands and opened the box.
Inside lay an incredibly beautiful bow and arrow, silver all over and emitting a faint glow. The material was special, seemingly made of rosewood, light and effortless to hold, but upon closer inspection, the bow and arrow were harder than iron.
Elijah hooked his lips and slowly said, "This bow is called the Milky Way, it's both gentle and strong, light but deadly.
I have no use for it, so I'm giving it to you."
The Milky Way?
What a beautiful name.
Emma's rational side told her not to accept it, but when she held the bow and arrow in her hand, it felt like it was meant to be hers, fitting perfectly and making her unable to let go.
"Then...thank you, big brother!"
Emma accepted the gift graciously, feeling a bit embarrassed. Although she wasn't very close with Elijah, he had helped her several times and even this bow he gave her was quite valuable.
If there was a chance in the future, she would definitely repay his kindness.
"Give it a try and see if it feels comfortable," Elijah said, pointing towards a small decoration on a shelf in the private room. "Shoot it down."
This was a piece of cake for Emma.
Taking the bow and an arrow from the box, she stood back a bit and without any hesitation, shot the arrow. The decoration fell to the ground with a thud.
Emma had actually held back a bit, otherwise the arrow would have pierced through the wall.
Elijah looked at her approvingly and praised, "Not bad."
"Do you want to try?" Emma asked, handing the bow and arrow to Elijah with an innocent smile.
Rumors had it that Elijah was capable of anything, so this little archery challenge should be a piece of cake for him.
At this moment, Emma's worries and uneasiness about being with Elijah had all disappeared.
Who said Elijah was difficult to approach, like a demon?
In her opinion, the big boss was actually quite easy to get along with..
Taking the bow and arrow from Emma, Elijah flew an arrow in the direction she had previously pointed, hitting the eye of the figure on the mural with precision that was no less impressive than hers.
Emma was amazed and was about to compliment him when Elijah suddenly turned around. The faint smile on his handsome face disappeared,
replaced by a cold and ruthless expression like of a demon from hell.
At the same time, the sharp and deadly arrow in his hand was aimed directly at her forehead.
Emma was stunned, her heart pounding in her chest. Was he so unpredictable?
In her panic, she couldn't help but recall the dream she had a few days ago. In the dream, Elijah had known that she intended to harm the Taylor Family and had choked her with a cold and ruthless look in his eyes.
It was exactly the same as now.
Although she had been reborn and everything seemed to be going smoothly, she had never felt so close to death before.
A chill rose from the soles of her feet, and before she could react, she cried out his name in a panic, "Elijah!"
In response, Elijah's murderous intent dissipated, and he released his grip on her.
And the arrow, named Galaxy, swiftly flew towards her forehead...
