Time passed in a blink.
Hawaii.
On a private island Ye Li had purchased.
Azure waves lapped the beach, and a row of white luxury villas stood out near the shore.
On the spacious balcony, golden sunlight spilling down, gentle sea breeze caressing the air.
Gwen, Jessica, Cindy, Felicia, Skye, Barbara, Natasha, Sharon, Kate Mara, and Hill—ten uniquely styled beauties in sexy swimsuits and sheer wraps—leaned against the pristine white railings, hugging their pale arms, their curvy waists and hips slightly lifted as they basked in the breeze with lazy, blissful expressions~
Ye Li moved from one to the next, infusing each of them with the power of the Dog Talisman, and now, it was finally Hill's turn.
With one arm around the gray-green-eyed beauty's waist, he asked, "So, how are you adjusting to the new S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Mm... Even though Kate's one of your plants, she's honestly reduced the rate of policy violations quite a lot."
Hill glanced over at Kate Mara standing nearby, then looked past her at Sharon, Natasha, Barbara and the others, sighing helplessly, "You've really got a lot of people inside S.H.I.E.L.D. You completely played me."
"How can you call it playing you, when it was something we both wanted~"
Hill rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure. Just use me however you want."
"How could I? I'm already too busy cherishing you."
"Ugh, so cheesy. I'm not one of your sweet little girlfriends. I'm not that easy to coax~"
"Then I'd like to see just how hard it is."
"Ennnngh~!"
After chatting with Hill for a while, Ye Li didn't push this sharp-tongued, soft-hearted director any further and simply enjoyed the beachside bliss. His gaze drifted toward the soft golden sands of the beach.
There, a white rope net marked a volleyball court.
On either side of the net, the two little beauties Alita and Matilda were playing beach volleyball, having the time of their lives.
Both of them wore tantalizing three-point swimsuits, one with a mechanically enhanced body, her metallic skin glinting silver under the sunlight—dazzlingly beautiful.
The other with a serum-enhanced body, her fair skin glowing radiantly, reminding him of how good she felt on that rainy night…
The two slender, graceful figures were a visual delight in motion~
It was truly a showdown between biomechanics and biology.
"Ball incoming!"
Alita's bare, silver legs bent down, her metal feet springing up powerfully as her elegant form soared and smacked the volleyball over the net———
Boom~!
"Quick, quick, Mathilda, over there!" Gatomon, abandoned by Felicia and Ye Li, loudly commanded Mathilda to receive the ball.
"Heave-ho!"
With Meow Ball God's power, Matilda jumped even higher than Alita, clenched her fists, and spiked the ball back—
Bam~!
"Nice shot~!"
Ye Li found it very entertaining to watch and couldn't help but bounce a little himself.
However, what Ye Li regretted slightly was that he didn't get to enjoy the essence of "ball watching" in beach volleyball.
After all, one was a still-developing little cutie, and the other was a rock-solid metal knot— neither of which bounced in the slightest…
…..
Whooosh…
A larger wave rolled onto the shore.
Ye Li's gaze shifted again, settling on a silver-haired figure by the water.
The foamy blue water lapped at her pale ankles, lifting and lowering the fine silver anklets that adorned her feet~
Her swimsuit, unsurprisingly, was also silver.
Apparently, the silver-haired beauty really loved that color.
"Such a beautiful island, and the boss just casually bought it. He's really rich~"
Sable brushed her wind-tousled hair and tied it back into a neat single ponytail with a silver ribbon~
Her cool, charming face carried a faint smile, clearly delighted to have been brought along for the boss's beachside retreat.
And not just her—the female mercenaries from the Wild Hunt Squad were also scattered about the beach, strolling and playing, their lively voices echoing along the coast~
"Ooh~ a pretty shell washed up!"
The silver-haired beauty bent her flawlessly curved waist and picked up a red-and-white patterned shell with a touch of delight, turning it over in her slender hand to examine it.
"No silver shells, huh? What a pity~"
Sable muttered to herself, but suddenly felt a searing gaze fixed on her body, shamelessly appreciating her bare figure.
She turned to look— and found that the stare was coming from Ye Li, who was "working out" with Hill on the villa balcony.
Seeing this, Sable called over a female mercenary and whispered something in her ear.
Afterward, she turned around, showing Ye Li her snowy back, with only a single thin strap crossing it.
Then, the mercenary reached out and undid that strap—letting Sable's bikini top fall to the sand.
"Is she teasing me with her figure?..."
Ye Li's eyes were hooked instantly, waiting expectantly for her to turn around obediently and let him feast his eyes.
