Chapter 183: Crawl?
It was John's third elder sister, Alice, who was hiding on the balcony, ready to launch a sneak attack.
With Alice's skill level, it had been easy for her to locate John's temporary residence.
Naturally, climbing up from the ground to the fifth-floor balcony was no challenge for her, either.
In fact, when John had been talking to Emily earlier, he had already sensed Alice's presence.
There were two reasons for this.
First, the Mind Circle—Alice still wore the amulet John had given her. At a distance, it needed her to call his name to activate. But at close range, John could sense the Mind Circle's energy at any time.
Second, the vital energy within Alice's body originated from John himself. It was a seed he had planted in her during cultivation, so her presence was like a beacon to him—impossible to miss.
That was why John had excused himself to "shower in the next apartment." He knew Alice was the type who never played by the rules.
And sure enough, it was a sneak attack as soon as they met.
Fortunately, John had anticipated this. He caught her by the ankle with one hand, yanked her up until her body stretched out in the air, and with the other arm, he locked her waist and pinned her down effortlessly.
Alice blinked her long lashes, a seductive smile playing on her lips as she leaned in close to whisper into John's ear.
