A young man in casual clothes approached them with a smile , his pale complexion suggesting a life of extravagance .

He was flanked by about four clearly skilled martial artists .

As he passed the practicing students , they all shouted in unison , Mr.

He stopped in front of Lauren with a smile .

Lauren , what a rare honor to have you visit our academy .

To what do we owe this pleasure ? Mr.

Sanford , please show some respect , Laurens face turned cold .

Rodneys eyes roamed over Laurens figure as he licked his lips .

I dont see anything inappropriate .

Everyone in Jayrodale knows I once pursued you .

Since you acknowledge its in the past , lets keep it that way , Lauren said coldly .
