As the day slowly passed and afternoon light bathed the room in a soft, golden hue, Wang Jian found himself deep in thought. Lying next to Lucía's voluptuous body, which was still wrapped in the sheets, he considered his next move carefully. His mind drifted toward her brother, Rafael Espina—a dangerous man and a key figure within the Blood Hunters.
Wang Jian knew he couldn't afford to appear in front of Rafael, not under any circumstances. Rafael had already seen Wang Jian's face before, and if he ever caught even a whiff of him being involved with Lucía, it would trigger a chain of events that would lead straight to disaster.
The Blood Hunters would come down on him with everything they had, and despite all of Wang Jian's power and cunning, he knew he couldn't handle a direct confrontation with Rafael's team right now.
No, he had to be subtle. Rafael was the key obstacle, but Wang Jian couldn't just storm in and kill him.
