Nathan couldn't help but smile. After years away from Mercity, he'd finally encountered someone intriguing. He pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of the Ferrari's license plate. Just then, his phone rang. It was Adam, likely reminding him to head to Club 1996.

Nathan turned the car around. Mercity was Adam's turf, after all. Once at the club, he could simply ask Adam to look up the Ferrari's owner.

Meanwhile, Celine drove into the alley, and Robin cheered, "Celine, you lost him!" A loud bang echoed as the Ferrari crashed into a wall. Celine's legs felt weak. She hadn't raced in three years, and facing such a strong opponent at high speed had her heart pounding.

Both she and Robin got out, inspecting the damage. The Ferrari's front end was crumpled. Robin's legs wobbled as she asked, "Celine, what do we do now?"

Celine steadied herself. "No problem. I'll call Adam's personal assistant to handle it." She quickly dialed Leo's number.

Back at Club 1996, Nathan arrived and headed straight to the luxurious private booth. Adam sat in the main spot on the sofa, and Nathan sat beside him. These two men were the untouchable "ice kings" of Mercity, the dream of countless socialites. Together, they were the club's brightest stars.

Melody was thrilled. Her crush had returned, and her gaze lingered on Nathan. She even sat beside him. Meanwhile, Carly sat next to Adam, surrounded by heirs, creating a lively atmosphere.

Benjamin beamed. "Nathan, it's been years! Finally, you're back!"

The other heirs laughed and teased, "Nathan, tell us—are the beauties abroad more interesting than those here in Mercity? Did they steal your heart?"

Nathan swirled his drink, raising an eyebrow. He chuckled, "No, the women in Mercity are still more intriguing."

The heirs laughed. "Exactly! The most beautiful women in Mercity, Ms. Carly and Ms. Melody, are right here!"

Carly smirked. She was used to being hailed as Mercity's top beauty. Melody gazed sweetly at Nathan, hoping to catch his attention.

But Nathan's eyes went past both women. He turned to Adam, "Adam, I need you to look someone up for me."

Adam clinked his glass against Nathan's. "A man or a woman?"

Nathan smirked. "A woman."

Adam sipped his drink. "No wonder you're late. Did you run into someone who caught your eye?"

Nathan chuckled but didn't deny it. Adam, who had known Nathan for years, raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you're serious this time. What's she like?" He was genuinely curious.

Nathan thought for a moment. "She's ethereal but fiery. Gets under your skin and makes your heart race."

The room fell silent. Benjamin and the other heirs were stunned. "Nathan, who is this woman? Which of Mercity's beauties could she be? You're not talking about Ms. Carly or Ms. Melody? We're all dying to know!"

Nathan was famously hard to please, and no one had ever won him over. The mystery woman intrigued everyone. Carly's good mood evaporated, and Melody froze.

Nathan pulled out his phone and showed Adam the photo of the Ferrari's license plate. "Adam, check this car for me."
