Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 768
Stella was boiling with rage. She took the peaches from Keegan's hands and threw them back. She looked grim as she said,
"We don't want them!"
She then grabbed Keegan's hand and left the fruit store.
It was raining very heavily. The wind was strong too.
When they stepped out of the shop, they immediately got wet from the slanted rain.
Stella suddenly regretted it. 'Why did I act tough in time like this?
'It's fine to get ripped off. How expensive can four and a half pounds be?'
She turned her head and wanted to tell Keegan to go back into the shop. But Keegan already held the shirt open to shield their
heads from the rain. He went close to her ear and whispered, "Four and a half pounds isn't expensive. But we can't allow this
unhealthy practice."
Stella was stunned. Her heart softened a little. She said, “I have so many metal items on me. And you're with me now. Aren't you
afraid of being struck by the thunder?"
Keegan lowered his head to look at her. "Do you want a perfect answer or a real answer?"
'He even prepared two answers?'
Stella was a little confused. So, she said, "Tell me the real answer."
Keegan said, "There are many skyscrapers nearby. When lightning is formed, it'd preferentially accumulate the induced charge
above these tall buildings. This kind of charge is stronger than the charge on the ground. So, it'll exert a very strong attraction on
the lightning. It can easily pull the lightning over. And usually, there are lightning arresters on top of these tall buildings. They'll
lead the lightning to the ground. So, we'll most probably not get struck by lightning."
Stella was speechless.
'This is really a freaking real answer. It's truly consistent with Keegan's assessment of dangers.'

This answer was so real that Stella did not feel like talking to him anymore.
Keegan leaned toward her and asked, "Don't you want to hear the perfect answer?"
Stella unhappily said, "Is there a need for that?"
"Just listen to it. It took me a great effort to think of that."
Stella felt annoyed with him. Then she casually said, "Tell me the perfect answer then."
Keegan smiled. He then got close to her ear and made every single word clear as he said, "I want to live and die together with
you."
Stella cringed. She twisted her head to look at him.
Keegan was looking down at her. She gazed at him. His hair blew out of place in the wind, and it got wet from the rain. His hair
was sticking to his forehead.
Even if a person was very attractive, it was impossible for that person to still look good in this kind of situation.
She had seen him too many times with his high-spirited look. But she rarely saw him looking so disheveled.
Although he looked disheveled, his eyes were still sparkling.
Keegan's best feature was his eyes.
He had standard slanted eyes. The inner corners of his eyes curved downward. The outer corners of his eyes curved upwards.
His double eyelids were somewhat narrow. His pupils could not be seen easily. He carried his own aura. When he did not smile,
he was very imposing. But when he smiled, the end of his eyes would point upwards, he looked elegant and dashing.
When he lowered his eyes to tell her that he wanted to live and die together with her, he looked like a God who lowered his
dignity to come down to the mortal world for love.
And if Stella were to say "no", he would be summoned to be burned in hell.
Stella's heart was pounding like thunder when she stared into his eyes. She looked away and coughed. "This isn't the perfect
answer."

Keegan frowned. "There's a better answer?"
Stella snorted. "The perfect answer is, if the thunder strikes, it'll strike you.
You won't let me die even if you die."
