Xu Mo looked at the woman outside the door. Her long golden hair was like a waterfall and was draped over her shoulders. Even though her delicate face looked a little haggard, it still couldn't hide her innate beauty.

The moment she saw Xu Mo, a strange look flashed in Jie Qian's eyes. Then she shook her head and bit her lower lip slightly. Her posture was a little reserved, but she still tried to smile and said softly:

"Hello, my name is Jess. I'm in charge of the pantry. Diana asked me to bring you some food."

Xu Mo looked down at the food in the basket that Jie Qian was holding. There was bacon, bread, canned food, vegetables and some expensive red wine.

He then raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a perfectly appropriate smile: "Thank you." At the same time, he stepped aside to make way and asked gently: "By the way, have you eaten?"

Jie Qian was slightly stunned, as if her thoughts were disrupted by this sudden question. After a moment, she gently shook her head: "Not yet, I'll go back and eat later."

Xu Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone casual but with an enthusiasm that could not be refused: "Since you haven't eaten yet, then come in and join us."

Jie Qian hesitated, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes, as if she was weighing something deep in her heart. But when she raised her head and met Xu Mo's deep and calm eyes that seemed to see through everything, she finally nodded gently and said softly: "Okay, sorry to bother you then."

Xu Mo's smile deepened, and he made an elegant "please" gesture. Jie Qian walked into the room with a slightly hesitant step, and he closed the door behind him slowly and casually.

Meanwhile, behind the next window.

A gloomy and resentful gaze was watching the scene coldly - it was Pete, his eyes burning with jealousy, his hands clenched into fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

He had just received a warning from Aaron, so he wanted to see what the "big shot" next door looked like, but he didn't expect to witness this kind of thing.

On the other side, in Xu Mo's house, the warm yellow light softly sprinkled on the table, and the sumptuous food exuded an enticing aroma.

Xu Mo casually picked up a piece of bacon and took a bite. Looking at the slightly reserved Jie Qian across from him, he said calmly, "Relax, this isn't the Hongmen Feast."

"What is the Hongmen Banquet?" Jessie asked curiously.

"The Hongmen Banquet was an event that happened in the ancient times of our Celestial Empire..." Xu Mo narrated it to Jie Qian in an orderly manner.

"This Liu Bang is really smart."

Listening to Xu Mo's narration, Jie Qian smiled gently. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, with a hint of shyness and relief. Her originally reserved expression also relaxed a little.

She slowly picked up a piece of bread in front of her, gently tore off a corner and put it into her mouth.

"Diana said you're the prison boss, right? I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of ​​taking over the prison and using it as a shelter?"

"There are many aspects to this. At that time, we valued the defense of the prison. You know, prisons have their own walls, and they are generally located in remote areas, so it is not easy for zombies to find them..."

Xu Mo explained and then went on to talk about various matters concerning the prison community and the Alexander community, from the daily operations of the community to future development plans, his words showing calmness and wisdom.

The meal time passed quietly. Under Xu Mo's guidance, Jie Xi gradually relaxed, and the haggard look on her face seemed to fade away as the conversation deepened.

After finishing her meal, she slowly stood up, her voice soft but with a hint of reluctance: "Thank you for your hospitality, I should go back now."

Xu Mo nodded, with a hint of concern in his eyes, and walked her to the door, watching her quietly walk out of the room and return to her house.

The moment Jess returned to her house, Pete, who was standing at the door, looked at her coldly, his eyes full of undisguised dissatisfaction and anger, like the depression before a storm, but he finally forced himself not to explode.

Xu Mo took it all in, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

At night, Xu Mo's room was filled with silence. After dinner, Xu Mo, dressed in a black training suit, slowly sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes, and began to practice the "Body Strengthening Technique" with his eyes closed.

As he breathed evenly and steadily, the energy within him gradually awakened like a sleeping dragon, slowly flowing. The muscles throughout his body vibrated gently in the silence, each rhythm seeming to contain endless power. He could clearly feel his strength increasing bit by bit in this slow and orderly movement.

Time passed quietly minute by minute, the night grew darker, everything was silent, only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window added a bit of mystery to this silent night.

Just then—

"Bang!"

A loud bang like a thunderclap suddenly broke the silence of the night, followed by a woman's low scream and the crisp and harsh sound of porcelain breaking.

Xu Mo suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He quickly stood up and walked to the window in a few steps. Through the gap in the window, he saw the infuriating scene -

Under the dim light, Jessie was savagely pushed to the ground by Pete. Her cheeks were visibly red and swollen, making her look pitiful. Pete, on the other hand, had a ferocious expression on his face. He pointed at her angrily, roaring something non-stop, and held a broken cup in his hand. The broken pieces of porcelain gleamed coldly under the light.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mo's eyes instantly turned cold, like frost in the cold night, and a chilling aura emanated from his body.

Although Jess is not his woman yet, Xu Mo has already chosen her as his partner. Now that Pete is abusing Jess, he cannot tolerate it.

In the next room, the atmosphere was suffocating.

"How many times have I warned you not to get too close to other men!" Pete roared, his voice hoarse with anger, his eyes filled with crazy rage and morbid possessiveness.

Jessie curled up in the corner, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of fear, but she just lowered her head silently, not daring to make a sound, letting the tears well up in her eyes.

“Bang!”

Another slap fell hard, and Jessie's body shook violently with the force of the slap. She bit her lower lip, enduring the pain and grievance.

However, just as Pete raised his hands high again, ready to unleash another brutal act, the door was suddenly kicked open with a "bang!" and a tall and upright figure slowly appeared at the door.

Pete was stunned. He looked back in horror and met Xu Mo's extremely cold eyes. The look seemed to come from the abyss of hell, which made him shudder.
