Surrounded by several bodyguards in black, a devilishly handsome man slowly strode toward the crowd.
The man slightly curled his lips with a hint of unruliness. Under a pair of affectionate, captivating eyes was an eye–catching mole.
Moreover, the owner of those eyes had never looked away from Emilia for a moment since he appeared.
Following the sound, everyone gaped as they spotted the newcomer.
“Oh my! It’s Martin! Martin! Ahhh! He’s so handsome! I’m falling in love!”
“Damn it! Why does a genius hacker own such a beautiful face at the same time? It’s so unfair to ordinary people like us!”
“Martin! Martin, you’re my idol!”
Among the guests, several young girls had come to the summit with their parents. They couldn’t help screaming excitedly, as if they were at a large–scale fan meeting of celebrities.
Hearing the voices, Martin smiled impeccably and gave the crowd a wink.
People’s stereotype of hackers was that they were taciturn, dense men who only dealt with codes, but Martin was an exception.
Despite being a top–notch hacker, that man had an incredibly beautiful countenance, which even women were envious of, yet he didn’t appear feminine at all.
Emilia raised her eyes and smiled knowingly the moment her eyes met Martin’s.
Earlier on, she was still wondering which of her friends the organizer was, and it turned out to be Martin.
Martin walked over to Emilia and stood in front of her, then he slightly crouched down and leaned forward, curling his lips into a smile.
“It’s been a while, Lia.”
With goosebumps all over her body, Emilia glanced at him lightly and replied. “I remember I’ve told you not to call me Lia. It’s embarrassing.”
Martin lifted his eyebrows and smiled. “But I just feel like calling you that.”
Emilia was rendered speechless, but she didn’t dwell on it, as she simply thought that their encounter was somewhat amazing.
“Indeed, it’s been a long time since we last met. I didn’t expect you to be the organizer.”
No wonder Benjamin had gone to fetch her in person. So, it was an invitation from an old friend.
Speaking of Martin, Emilia had actually struck up a friendship with him after they had a fight, albeit a technical one.
Naturally, Martin was defeated in the battle, and because of that, he shut himself off for some time. Since then, the two became friends.

To some extent, they were like geniuses who appreciated each other.
The last time she had met Martin was three years ago, and she hadn’t seen him since her mariage to Nathan.
Watching the friendly interaction between the two, Nathan darkened his eyes.
Emilia had only shown him a cold face after they divorced, but she was all smiles in front of
other men.
Nathan was very upset. However, it was useless to be upset. The scene in front of him would not disappear simply because of his displeasure.
Moreover, Nathan felt agitated like never before because of that man called Martin..
In the meantime, the onlookers were still in shock.
In front of their eyes was the legendary genius hacker, Martin Parker, who could successfully occupy the top three rankings on the trending list even if he had vanished. without a trace.
There was nobody who had not heard of Martin’s name. And everyone knew the Parker family behind him.
The Parker family had dozens of different industrial chains, which could be said to be involved in every field. As the only child in his family, Martin, however, was not interested in his family business. He didn’t like to inherit the family property. Instead, he preferred to venture out himself. In the end, he successfully carved his niche in software and hacker technology.
He was one of those fabled people everyone had heard of. Someone who would go home and inherit the family business if he failed in his own venture.
It would not be an exaggeration to claim that Martin and Nathan were on equal footing.
No one would have thought that such a celebrated man with an influential family background would be acquainted with Emilia.
What was more, their relationship seemed to be unusually close.
After exchanging a few brief greetings with Emilia, Martin walked up to Madeline. His originally smiley, captivating eyes narrowed slightly in displeasure, tinted with undisguised
disdain.
“Are you the one who insulted Lia?”
It was said that his captivating eyes were usually affectionate, but no one knew that they could also look ruthless once they turned sharp.
Madeline had yet to recover from the shock.
The person before her was Martin, the organizer of the summit. Now, it was obvious that Martin and Emilia knew each other, and the former wanted to defend the latter.
Madeline was dumbstruck for a moment. She didn’t know whether to carry on or not.
“How did Emilia get to know Martin? She is just a brat picked up by the Saunders family on the street. How on earth did she get to ingratiate herself with Martin?” Madeline cursed in her mind with the most malicious speculation about Emilia, as usual.

She hardened her neck and said toughly. “So what if it’s me? I was telling the truth! Martin, you’re a public figure, after all. What good will it do for you to defend such a notorious
woman?”
Her words openly mocked Emilia while implicitly ridiculing Martin. Even the onlookers thought it to be rude.
Nonetheless, Martin didn’t seem to care at all. He put his arm around Emilia’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms. Then, he cast his eyes down, gazing at the person in his arms.
Well, he had yearned to do that long ago.
Martin slightly raised his eyebrows, smiling wildly yet nonchalantly. “I’m happy to defend Lia. It’s none of your business! As long as she likes, not only will I defend her, but I’m also willing to give her all my wealth!”
Hearing that, Nathan lost his cool.
