"CEO Luan, thank you for the services provided to our homeland," the army colonel said as he stepped down from the helicopter. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get there in time and avoid so much fatality."

Luan's name was already known to the entire army. Many had already been warned to treat him with respect, mainly because of the advances in the strength of the Brazilian army. Those who trained using the body technique not only became stronger but also faster and with improved instincts. That in itself was a huge contribution.

Those people who trained with the technique now fought against these monsters and were managing to avoid many fatalities of Brazilian citizens.

"It wasn't just me, you know," Luan said specifically, looking at Ingrid.

"Oh, sure, sure," the colonel said, "Miss Ingrid, thank you very much for your help."

"You're welcome." Ingrid smiled awkwardly.

"I'm leaving everything for you all to deal with now," Luan said, "I don't need to stay here, do I?"

"Sure, sure." The colonel quickly nodded and said, "As for the bodies of the monsters killed by the two of you, when the value is calculated, we will give the money to you."

"I do not need it," said Luan. "Take the money and give it to the people who have been harmed."

"Oh, yes, of course. I will do that!" The colonel was amazed. He did not expect that even in the face of so much money, Luan would not even bat an eye and instead give the money to the people.

Luan was not a fool. He read the colonel's mind a little and saw that he would do what he promised. If not, he wouldn't have left things in this man's care.

"We are going now." Saying that, Luan took Ingrid's hand and started to leave.

The army opened the way for them, almost as if the Marshal himself was passing. They looked at Ingrid and Luan with admiration and respect.

Almost having arrived at the five-star hotel they were staying in, Ingrid asked quietly, "Luan, what do we do now? Should we go out and fight the monsters?"

"It's no use." Luan shook his head. "Even if we leave now, we will not arrive in time at the other locations. The closest is in the next state over. By the time we'd arrive, the army would have already moved and saved people. We were only able to get there in time this time because we were close, otherwise, no."

Despite being a little unhappy to hear that, Ingrid understood that what Luan said was right. Even if they ran at full speed and arrived on time, they would only reveal all her skills and his; that would do more harm than good. She understood why Luan wanted to remain a little discreet. Although he would not avoid using his physical strength in front of other people, he wanted to avoid using his powers and attracting unwanted attention.

It was also at that time that several screens showed the news of the monsters that came out of the mysterious cracks, but it also explained to people to remain calm and that the army was already dealing with it.

Although it didn't help much, since many were still scared, the announcement helped to ease some of the tension. After all, many people trusted the power of the army. If they could not even trust them, the world they were in would already be in chaos; they would be in total chaos.

Honestly, today was supposed to be a memorable day.

When Luan and Ingrid entered the presidential suite a sea of ​​red flowers was spread, creating a road of red flower petals to the bed. On the bed, many red rose petals were scattered. In the kitchen, a candlelight dinner was waiting for them.

"I will remove all of that," Luan said with a sigh.

"No, no need to take it out, I love it!" Ingrid, who was stunned, came to herself. She knew Luan's intention and was thrilled. She knew that if what happened today hadn't happened, it would be an unforgettable day, but she didn't care, she still liked it a lot. In fact, she loved it!

She looked at all this, and her eyes went red. She who rarely took the initiative stood on tiptoes and put her arms around Luan's neck and implanted a deep, wet kiss.

"Gee... I love you, Luan~" She whispered in his ear in an attractive and seductive voice, almost leading Luan to commit a crime.

"I love you too," Luan replied in his husky voice. Then he placed one of his hands on the back of her neck and the other on her waist and kissed her hard. It was a predatory kiss, almost as if he wanted to suck out her soul.

Ingrid felt submissive. It was a strange sensation as if her whole body was out of her control. She melted in his strong arms, but she did not dislike that sensation. She loved how he looked like he wanted to eat her whole, craving every bit of her body.

The kiss continued until they reached the bed. Ingrid felt her heart racing. She was ready, but she was still afraid. It would be her first time... or, well, almost that...

Anyway, she felt strong emotions which made her want to scream, even run away, but in the arms of the man she loved, she refused to leave.

Ingrid became more fierce with time and bit Luan's lower lip and pulled on it with hunger and desire. She looked at him in rapture. Luan stepped forward and bit her upper lip, and they continued to nibble and lick each other's lips and interlace their tongues as they kissed and took off their clothes that fell to the floor, being part of the floral scene.

When the two were completely naked, with their chests rising and falling with excitement, Luan said in his hoarse voice, "Let's take a shower first."

Ingrid remembered that she still had some blood on her body and she felt a little shy and nodded, "Yes."

Leaving the room still naked, they went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. While they washed, they were still kissing. It was as if they couldn't bear to stay a second without kissing. In addition, kissing while the shower water fell on them was a totally different feeling. It was pleasant and totally passionate.
