My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot

Chapter 294 - 286: Does the Eldest Martial Uncle Play Games Too?

「On the beach.」

Alvin Morgan watched in confusion as Aurora Sinclair returned empty-handed.

"Not enough money?"

Aurora Sinclair shook her head. "It wasn’t convenient."

Alvin Morgan turned to look and saw Elias Lennox handing out an armful of drinks. A foreign woman he didn’t recognize followed close behind.

Soon, he walked over to offer them drinks.

The blonde woman stuck close to him, as if afraid he’d run off.

Alvin Morgan immediately understood what was happening, and his expression darkened.

When the blonde woman saw him, her eyes lit up. She ran forward to introduce herself. "Hello, I’m Alice Bell..."

Alvin Morgan glanced at Elias Lennox and asked coolly, "Your woman?"

Elias Lennox grinned. "Not yet."

He looked like he was enjoying the show.

Alice was a notorious ’man-eater’; once she set her sights on a guy, she would stop at nothing to get him.

Seeing that Alvin Morgan was ignoring her, Alice suddenly leaned in close. But with lightning speed, he pulled the girl beside him onto his lap.

The girl’s face was now right in front of hers, and her cool, dark eyes seemed to hold some unspoken emotion.

Suddenly, she let out three consecutive sneezes, spraying saliva all over Alice’s face.

"AHHH—"

Alice shrieked and jumped back several steps, her eyes filled with disgust, as if Aurora Sinclair were some kind of germ.

A smile touched Alvin Morgan’s lips. He picked up a nearby tissue to wipe Aurora Sinclair’s nose and said in English, "Pardon me. My girl isn’t used to your scent. Could you please stand back a little?"

Alice’s face turned ugly. She shot them a death glare, then grabbed Elias Lennox by the arm and stormed away.

Elias Lennox glanced back at Aurora Sinclair, a wicked grin on his face. "Junior Sister, you shouldn’t sit on a man’s lap like that. It’s very dangerous."

Aurora Sinclair glanced down at her position, then up at Alvin Morgan’s smiling face. She blinked, preparing to stand up.

Alvin Morgan quickly leaned down and gave her a kiss before letting go, replying with a smile, "It’s fine if you’re sitting on me."

Aurora Sinclair’s cheeks flushed, and she quickly put a meter of distance between them.

"Lie down..."

Alvin Morgan knew to quit while he was ahead. He obediently lay back down, looking as if she could have her way with him.

Aurora Sinclair picked up the medicine bottle, poured the liquid onto his abdomen, and began to apply it.

But soon, Alvin Morgan’s expression grew strained. He suddenly grabbed her wrist, his voice a bit husky. "I’ll do it myself. You go have fun!"

"Hm?"

DAF’s hotel was located in a bustling part of the city center, right next to the competition venue. On the other side stood a luxurious, imposing skyscraper bearing a sign that read: Seawell Pharma.

Seawell Pharma was a company owned by the Trent Family, and this was their Harbor City branch.

This building was also another one of Aurora Sinclair and Alvin Morgan’s targets for this trip.

"Everyone head back and get some rest. We’ll meet back here at 6 p.m. for a team dinner."

Aurora Sinclair and Leigh Miles’s room wasn’t on the same floor as the rest of the team; they were staying in the presidential suite with Alvin Morgan.

The master bedroom window looked out directly at the Seawell Pharma building, where Alvin Morgan was setting up a telescope.

"Aurora, come take a look..."

Aurora Sinclair looked through the telescope. The view of the opposite building was so clear it felt as if it were right in front of her.

"In a couple of days, Victor Trent is coming here to meet someone."

Aurora Sinclair’s gaze sharpened, and she nodded.

"Sir, Elias Lennox is here..." Dean Morgan said, entering the room with a strange expression.

Alvin Morgan’s brows furrowed instantly, and he and Aurora immediately left the bedroom.

They saw Elias Lennox dragging his luggage in. "Much more spacious in here! Junior Sister, I’ve come to crash."

"There’s no room for you here," Alvin Morgan replied in a low voice, a hint of caution in his eyes.

But Elias Lennox just smiled and said, "No problem, I got a suite too, right next door. Do you junior sisters want to move over? After all, Sunstone should maintain a certain distance from the Great Families."

Alvin Morgan froze, a cold smirk touching his lips. "You’re from Sunstone?"

He walked over to the sofa, sat down, and picked up a steaming teacup from the coffee table.

The smile on Elias Lennox’s face didn’t change. After glancing at Alvin, he turned to Aurora Sinclair with a grin. "Junior Sister, my uncle just called me. He said he wants to meet you two."

Aurora Sinclair’s eyes widened slightly. "When?" she replied calmly.

"About a week from now! He happens to want to watch our matches, too."

Leigh Miles was surprised. "Does Master-Uncle play games too?"

Elias Lennox flashed a wide grin. "He’s the lead motion director for the characters in this game."

"No way!"

Elias Lennox’s grin grew even wider. "Otherwise, how do you think our Eldest Senior Brother got the development rights for the Arcadian Server?"

The two of them were dumbfounded.

Elias Lennox continued with a smile, "I came all the way to Veridia to find you after I saw a video of you in the qualifiers. I noticed that Master Rory’s Fist Technique looked a lot like the Radiant Void Fist. I never expected you to actually be our Junior Master’s disciple."

Alvin Morgan, who was drinking tea, paused. His gaze toward Elias Lennox took on a profound depth.

Afterward, DAF began training in earnest.

Arthur Lockwood had generously rented out an entire internet cafe for them to use as a training room.

Elias Lennox and Aurora Sinclair had never played together in a match before, but their individual mastery of their respective characters was second to none. Because of this, their teamwork was perfectly in sync—even more seamless than Aurora and Alvin Morgan’s coordination during the qualifiers.

When the two once again pulled off a perfectly synchronized double kill, Arthur Lockwood’s eyes lit up as he began to tease Alvin Morgan.

"Look at their synergy. At this rate, we won’t even need you in the playoff finals to win the national championship."

But all he got in return was a disdainful snort.

"Training’s over. Dismissed," Flynn Morgan announced curtly after their debriefing.

Like students at the end of the school day, everyone started packing up their keyboards, then followed their respective "parents" waiting at the door to go out for dinner.

Alvin Morgan naturally took the bag from Aurora Sinclair’s hands, about to lead her to dinner, but Elias Lennox blocked his path.

He pulled out his phone and brandished it. "Junior Sister, you can’t have dinner with him today. My uncle has arrived at the hotel."

「Hotel Lobby Lounge」

Leigh Miles’s jaw hung open, unable to believe that the handsome older man before her was their own Master-Uncle.

Dressed in a crisp suit with a somewhat serious expression, he exuded the elite aura of a successful man.

His facial features were very similar to Elias Lennox’s, only Elias’s were more chiseled and his eyes weren’t black. This man, in contrast, had a purely Veridian face with black hair and black eyes, and he appeared more mature and composed.

"M-Master-Uncle..." Leigh Miles stammered.

Hector Lennox sized Leigh Miles up with some surprise. "You’re Dawn Miles?"

Leigh Miles immediately performed a proper bow. "In response to Master-Uncle, I am Leigh Miles. This is my Senior Sister, Dawn Miles."

Aurora Sinclair performed the Ancient Martial Ceremony as well. "Master-Uncle."

"Not bad. The Radiant Sect has finally done something right for once," Hector Lennox said with a smile, making a gesture to help them up.

"Come, let’s talk over dinner."

Hector Lennox stood up, taking the jacket a nearby disciple handed him.

The group went directly from the hotel to a nearby Western restaurant.

There were no private rooms, so a waiter led them to a large table at the very back.

As they walked, Aurora Sinclair suddenly stopped, looking in surprise at the familiar figures straight ahead.

Leigh Miles gasped. "What are you guys doing here?"

"What a coincidence..." Alvin Morgan said with a faint smile.
