The other end of the alley was narrower, and the four-wheeled vehicle couldn't get through as it was blocked by two motorcycles. Over a dozen people quickly followed, charging into the hair salon together.

There wasn't much shouting or yelling on the scene, but it was clear they were well-trained and worked together seamlessly.

Some even rushed out from this very barbecue restaurant. Looking more carefully, there were also people guarding the back wall of the courtyard with expandable batons. At least thirty people had come, densely packed.

"Someone tried to climb over the wall to escape, and got caught."

"I see it. I see it. That guy got tackled. So rough."

The two jumped with excitement, completely unaware of how enticing the surging, wave-like swaying of their chests was as they bounced. Blanche also watched intently, as this matter was very important to them.

Not long after, people began to come out one after another. Four or five older women, heads bowed, were escorted into police cars. Immediately after that, three men were also dragged out.

They had clearly put up fierce resistance and had all been subdued, and all were handcuffed.

"Avery, look quickly. The first one is."

"Yes, yes. I recognize his clothes."

The first one being escorted was that bastard, disheveled and likely bruised and swollen. Probably having resisted too vigorously, he received special treatment and a beating. Once the handcuffs were on, he became obedient.

The scene was chaotic. Everyone inside had been taken away, but many people remained inside conducting inspections.

Luis thought for a moment and asked, "If they need to notify family members, they won't contact you, will they?"

"Definitely not. We never registered our marriage."

Blanche shook her head decisively.

The commotion died down close to two in the morning. The hair salon's door was sealed with a notice, and then the large number of personnel began to withdraw, presumably to continue inspections the next day.

"Let's head back too."

The two little ones, accustomed to early nights and early mornings, had drunk quite a lot of draft beer and were now in a state of constant yawning. But for some reason, they still maintained a high level of excitement.

Blanche's face was flushed with wine, adding a touch of allure to her demeanor and making her appear more seductive than usual.

"You've been drinking. Should we call a driver?"

Blanche asked thoughtfully, then paused and said, "It's close to my apartment. My daughter and I can just take a taxi back…"

Before she could finish, Avery clung tightly to Leah and declared firmly, "No way. I want to sleep with Leah tonight."

"You have to work during the day. It'll be so boring for me alone. I'm not going, I'm not going…"

Hearing this, Blanche's heart softened. She truly was busy and hadn't been spending enough time with her daughter.

Given the situation tonight, with these two little tag-alongs around, Luis couldn't very well leave them behind to sneak off for a secret rendezvous.

Although Blanche was more than willing, and the idea of an alcohol-tinged intimate moment was undeniably tempting, she remained level-headed and cautious.

After all, Luis had a family. If Leah found out and exposed them, it would all be over. Moreover, she had to consider her daughter's feelings.

Blanche had once joked half-seriously that if she weren't worried about her daughter being ashamed in front of others, she might have taken the easy way out and earned quick money through less respectable means.

Everything she endured, all the hardship, was entirely for her daughter's sake. If her daughter discovered she was being kept by a married man…

…the image of her mother would be utterly shattered in her daughter's heart. Blanche knew her daughter wasn't close to her, but preserving whatever maternal dignity she still had mattered more than anything.

"So what do we do? I have to be at work early tomorrow."

In the end, Blanche didn't dare risk it. She called a driver to take her back to her apartment first. Only then did Luis take the two slightly tipsy girls home.

Crammed in the back seat, the milky, clean scent of their freshly showered skin wafted over him, stirring a restless desire.

Especially with them leaning against him, their soft, tender bodies pressing close, what man wouldn't be tempted in a moment like that?

Their alcohol tolerance was laughably low; just a bit of breeze made them dizzy. By the time they got home, Luis had no energy left for improper thoughts. He supported them one under each arm, otherwise, they'd have stumbled and fallen.

"I'm so happy, Avery. Now you don't have to worry anymore…"

"Yeah… My mom too. Watching those arrests earlier was so thrilling…"

The two girls slurred their words, their speech drunken and loose, their bodies soft and pliant against Luis.

Even with the sensation of their full, bra-clad breasts pressing against him, a truly delightful feeling, Luis was in no state to savor the intimacy.

Helping them stagger along was exhausting. By the time he got them to the room, Luis was drenched in sweat.

He turned to see the two already fast asleep, sprawled limply on the bed. Clearly, he'd overestimated their capacity for drink tonight.

Dealing with two drunk youngsters was a hassle. Luis rested a good while before finally getting up to shower. After all the evening's chaos, he was too drained to entertain any wild ideas.

He entered the System and opened the backpack: Random Blind Box (3), Aphrodisiac Incense (Male) ×1, Affection Through Familiarity Plugin (2/2).

It seemed the System was constantly upgrading.

It seemed the System was constantly upgrading. Each time he entered, the interface felt slightly refined, more polished and intuitive.

Seeing the Affection Through Familiarity Plugin, Luis suddenly remembered, it had been patched, its bugs fixed. He'd nearly forgotten about it.

Opening the plugin, he found the System's instructions had also been updated.

"Ding… Item 'Affection Through Familiarity Plugin.' Trigger condition: Internal ejaculation two or more times."

"Ding… Plugin function: Causes the target to fall completely in love with the host, remaining unaffected by advances or even physical teasing from other men."

"Ding… Plugin effect: The target becomes physically and emotionally devoted. Their genetic makeup is altered, making them more sensitive to the host's scent and touch, and more easily able to reach pleasurable climax."

The plugin had indeed been modified. Luis immediately opened the binding list below.

"Ding… Plugin currently bound to: Beloved Wife Lily, Mother-in-law Ruth, Sister-in-law Eloise."

As mentioned before, the Wood family women remained bound, a kind of compensation from the System for adjusting the plugin's usage count.

This was a huge relief for Luis. With limited plugin uses available, these women were essential targets. If they weren't pre-bound, he'd be bankrupt.

"Ding… Plugin bindable targets: Hela, Chloe, Maria, Yana…"

"Ding… Plugin uses remaining (2/2). Does the host wish to bind now?"

Luis swore silently. One pair were sisters, the other a mother-daughter duo. How the hell was he supposed to choose?

More importantly, there were still Avery, his sisters-in-law, and others in the future. Clearly, with this change, the Affection Through Familiarity Plugin had become something he'd have to work hard to earn.

"Can I skip the lottery and exchange blind boxes directly for specific items?"

This was Luis's burning question. Right now, the odds of getting the Affection Through Familiarity Plugin from a blind box seemed low.

That Aphrodisiac Incense (Male) now felt pretty useless. If only he could exchange it for the plugin, its practical value would skyrocket.

"Ding… The host may exchange two blind boxes for one specified item."

At least that special exchange option hadn't been removed. Still, it stung, two boxes for one item was steep.

Earning blind boxes was far harder than making money. He'd saved for so long and only had three. It was nowhere near enough.

After a moment's hesitation, Luis gritted his teeth. Exchange.

"Ding… Host selects: Exchange two blind boxes for specified item, Affection Through Familiarity Plugin."

"Ding… Exchange successful. Please check your inventory."

Luis watched as the backpack interface updated. The blind box count dropped from 3 to 1.

The Affection Through Familiarity Plugin instantly went from (2/2) to (4/4). Only that irritating Aphrodisiac Incense (Male) remained unchanged, taunting him from the list.

Men were such fickle creatures. Even though that item had once saved his life, Luis had already pushed it from his mind.

But there was no helping it. Right now, Luis was heartbroken, yet he had to steel himself to avoid being cuckolded.

Men loved putting horns on others but hated receiving them themselves. It was a primal instinct, one even Luis couldn't escape.
