Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 738
Advertisement
Suddenly, a horse rushed out from Avery's right side. She and her horse were terrified. The horse raised its foreleg and shouted toward the sky.
Avery became angry. When she wanted to scold that man who terrified her, she found it was Evan Howel who rode a horse coming here. Although she was upset, she was glad to see Evan and asked, "Why are you here, and you didn't tell me?"
Avery focused on that woman so that she didn't pay attention to anyone else.
She pointed to the river and shouted before Evan was going to say something. "Come on. Quickly! Save her."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know her, but she was drowning."
Evan knew it was a woman, so he frowned and answered, "When bodyguards come here, they will save her."
"Where are bodyguards?" Avery looked around, finding there were no bodyguards.
"I asked them to look for you in four groups."
"When they came here, I am afraid that she drowned and died." Then Avery reached out and dragged Evan off the horse and said, "Come on!"
But Evan stood still. Therefore, Avery walked a few steps forward and said, "If you wouldn't like to go, I will save her by myself."
"Stop! How dare you!" Evan shouted in a relatively low voice. He took off his jacket coat and said, "What a hassle."
He quickly walked over the river and jumped into it.
Looking at the river in the distance, Avery saw the woman, and Evan struggled to float and swam forward.
Evan's pants were wet, tightly covering his legs, which made him uncomfortable. When the woman held him tightly, Evan became more annoyed and ordered coldly, "Lose your hands."
The woman ignored him and grabbed him tightly.
She had a strong desire to seek help. Since she was afraid that Evan would leave her alone, she had to hold him tight.

But it was indeed a kind of torture for Evan.
"Damn it! Lose your hands," Evan was so angry that he even wanted to put the woman's head into the river. But he didn't do it. On the contrary, he supported the victim and trod water.
Finally, Evan towed the victim to shore. He was wet all over. Avery handed his jacket coat to him for wiping water because there was no bath towel.
Avery walked over and squatted, checking for the woman's breath.
The woman was pale and lost consciousness. Avery crossed her hands, pressed her chest, and pinched her nose, starting CPR.
"What are you doing?" Evan walked over and pulled Avery away. "Does she want to start CPR?" thought Evan.
"She must be dead if I don't perform CPR," Now, the most crucial thing for Avery was to save the victim.
Evan was holding Avery's arms tightly. She lowered her head, looking at her arms and thinking, "Why are his palm so hot? Does he have a cold?"
But Avery can't wait to save the woman, so she pulled Evan's arms out and squatted down.
She pressed the victim's chest hard and pinched her nose. When she was going to kiss her, the woman moved and then started to cough violently.
After coughing a few times, water came out from the woman's mouth.
Avery supported her to sit upright and patted her back.
"How are you? Do you feel better?"
The woman felt better. Her face gradually turned puffy and red. She was touching her chest gently up and down and shaking her head, while she was coughing.
Avery kept patting the woman's back. After a while, the woman stopped coughing and reached out to Avery. Her palm spread upwards.
Avery couldn't understand why the woman spread her palm, so she asked, "What's your meaning?"

"Paper tissue."
Avery was still confused.
"Give me paper tissue to wipe the water off," the woman added.
"I don't have it."
"No?" It was unbelievable for the woman to trust that Avery didn't have paper tissue. She raised her eyelids and looked at Avery, "Where am I? Why is there no paper tissue?"
Avery was not going to say anything and thought to herself, "Is her mind getting confused? Do you think she is at home?"
"You drowned, and he saved you," Avery glanced over Evan, who turned his back to Avery and the victim. Even if he heard what Avery said, he didn't turn around still.
"Did he save me? That is to say, did he…" The woman put one hand on her chest.
The woman's expression made Avery laugh a lot. She answered, "He only brought you on the shore."
"Well," the woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you. I own you a great debt."
"How lovely the woman is! It is very dramatic," thought Avery.
"Everything is done?" Evan asked impatiently. He turned around because the woman was wet all over, lying on the floor, her clothes were sticking to her body so that her naked body might be seen clearly.
"Done," Avery answered and asked Evan to turn around.
Evan turned around and looked at Avery, answering, "Shall we go back?"
"But we don't find Mr. Black's sister still," Avery kept their task in mind.
"Don't you know she is Mr. Black's sister?" Evan asked because he felt uncomfortable when the woman saw her passionately.
"How do you know that, my savior?" Maeve Black blinked and gazed down at Evan. Standing behind the sunlight, Evan just looked like God in her eyes.
Evan didn't answer Maeve but said to Avery, "Let her ride a horse alone. You ride a horse with me."
"I don't agree with you. I haven't healed yet. My savior, I think you should take care of me," Maeve said as if she were shy.
Hearing what Maeve said, Avery was astonished. She thought Maeve was a bold and dissipated woman.
Evan was unhappy and pulled Avery away from Maeve. He thought Maeve was a crazy woman.
At the same time, Evan heard quick and urgent steps from horses.
He looked around. The noises were from Mr. Black, who was coming with a group of people.
Mr. Black went down from the horse's back and asked, "My sister, are you okay?"
"Mr. Black, do you think I am okay? Ever since Yuki and I got lost and couldn't find each other. I almost drowned and died. Oh, I just like a beautiful flower which faded fast. God probably envies how beautiful I am. He deliberately let me fall into the river. How can I say? God is too proud."
"You are right! God is too proud," Mr. Black gave a hint to Evan and then looked at Avery, asking his sister, "Did they save you?"
"Yes, he is my savior. You should thank him. Oh. Please ask whether he is a single man. How old is he? His height and weight? Fine. It doesn't matter. I don't care."
"What do you want?" Mr. Black asked helplessly.
"Since he saved me, I should marry him."
Evan looked sullen and said coldly, "I didn't save you."
"Sister, He and the Princess are our guests."
"The Princess?" Maeve turned to look at Avery.

The God Complex
Alon wishes to be remembered—to stamp his existence on this cruel world, to engrave the fact that "he was here" into the very Earth. This is his sole purpose; To be important. For what greater reason is there to exist if not to be remembered? People are special. People aren’t... Your actions in this life define how those left behind remember you. Once you die, you’re reborn and live on, if only for a time; The grander the actions in this life, the longer your second one becomes. Alon knows this better than anyone, and he will live in the minds and hearts of everyone in Krestelen longer than anyone that has come before. Krestelen is a place long forgotten by those outside its walls; known by most as the Cursed City of The Dead, with the Lower Tier of the City being abandoned by the Upper Tiers after an inexplicable Fog blanketed the entire sector thirty-four years ago. This Fog adds those unfortunate enough to be caught within it into the legions of Vacant roaming the empty streets of the city: A creature that has seemingly lost all reasoning and sanity, to wander around the streets crying into the palms of their hands as they beg for help, to be freed from their condition. This is the place that Alon, and the Gang led by his mentor Casian, shall steal the very source of what gives those in power—the rightfully ruling family, the Deramore's—their ability to live in luxury as those below in the Lower Tier struggles to survive. They will forever be cast into the annals of the history of this cursed place—for better, or for worse.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
