Sometimes it was a technique. Other times, a special skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flipping through a few pages, Yohan stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meridian Tell,\" he read aloud. \"By visually scanning a person’s posture, muscle tension, breathing rhythm, and micro-tremors along key meridian points, I can instantly tell if their body is reacting to deception.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he finished reading, a strange sensation surged behind his eyes. It felt as though the meaning of the words didn’t just settle in his mind, but into his body itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I focus on their meridian points... I’ll be able to tell if they’re lying,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s insane,\" he said with a quiet laugh. \"I’ll become a living lie detector.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t perfect, but it was more than reliable enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a loud knock echoed through his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yohan!\" Anthony’s voice called from the other side as the knocking continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan let out a slow sigh. He wasn’t in the mood for visitors—especially not right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even if my body’s healed... it still aches all over’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to sleep, I’m so tired,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yohan, are you okay?\" Anthony blurted out immediately. \"The doorman said you came in with your clothes all torn up like you got into a fight—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words trailed off as his gaze swept over Yohan’s shirtless body. His torso was so chiseled that Anthony was impressed even as a man. It looked like it was a sculpted figure, without any blemish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine,\" Yohan replied casually,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, thank goodness because I was actually going to invite you for a party,\" Anthony said with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand Yohan wore a face that didn’t share his excitement. Right now he couldn’t bring himself to go to a party and jump around with a bunch of college students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I sound just like an old man’ he shook his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think I can come,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?\" Anthony wondered, \"It’s not like you have anything doing, come on we’ll have a lot of fun this time,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan sighed, \"Doing what exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean... there would be lots of alcohol and then the girls...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t like alcohol and we both know you wouldn’t even talk to any girl,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who said so?!\" Anthony’s voice raised sharply, \"Last time you weren’t there to see me. After you stepped out, I had all the girls there begging for my attention,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight hitch in Anthony’s breathing. A micro-stiffening of the jaw. The meridian flow along his collarbone wavered, just for a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan could immediately tell that Anthony was lying—not that he even needed his new special skill for something that obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh really?\" Yohan asked, a crooked grin forming on one side of his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\" Anthony said confidently. \"Why do you think I came here? I want us to team up and work together. If we do that, we can seriously increase our chances of getting girls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan let out a short laugh. \"From the way you’re talking, it sounds like you don’t really need my help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I–I don’t,\" Anthony stammered. \"But, uh... having a wingman would make it easier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Another lie...’ he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to disappoint,\" Yohan said flatly, \"but I’m not interested in being your wingman today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\" Anthony yelled from the hallway. \"You think I need you? I’ll show you just how much of a player I am! I’ll get a girlfriend way hotter than that weird, scary lady that always comes to see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold presence settled behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very slowly, he turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna was standing there. Her eyes were calmly staring deep into his soul, at least that’s what it felt like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H–Hello...\" Anthony croaked. \"N–Nice to see—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move,\" Jenna said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes ma’am!!!\" Anthony yelled as he bolted into his room and slammed the door shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed against it, heart pounding like it was trying to escape his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just what the hell is wrong with that woman...?’ he thought, sweat soaked through his shirt like he had just survived a near-death experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna stepped into the room, only to freeze when she saw Yohan sitting shirtless on the edge of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your injuries... they’re all gone...\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Yohan said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H–How?\" she breathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d rather not say,\" he replied, scratching the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna hesitated, curiosity flickering in her eyes. But by now, she had accepted one thing about Yohan—he was a man wrapped in secrets. Pressing him would only lead to dead ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... it’s good that you’re fine,\" she said instead. \"I’m actually here because I need your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a party later tonight,\" she said. \"I need you to attend it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows knit together. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Izumi will be there,\" she answered quietly. \"And she doesn’t want me around for now so I need you to protect her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something flickered across her face—quick, restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused—not on her expression, but on the subtle tension beneath it. The slight tightening of her shoulders. The faint disruption along the meridian near her collarbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A lie... or at least, not the full truth’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you two argue?\" he asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna stiffened for a fraction of a second before sighing. \"I just told her she couldn’t trust Freddie... and she blew up at me. She never listens when it comes to that boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That time—her meridian flow stayed steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s what happened...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s at that rebellious phase,\" Jenna muttered. \"Either way, I don’t feel comfortable leaving her alone after Kai Lu saw my face. I don’t want to end up putting her in danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan exhaled slowly. \"I was actually planning to sleep early tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head and met her intense gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s in it for me?\" he asked with a faint smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna blinked. \"What do you mean? Aren’t we partners?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re partners in taking Freddie down,\" Yohan replied lazily. \"I never agreed to be anyone’s bodyguard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She narrowed her eyes. \"So what do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan tapped his chin in thought. \"Why don’t you do something for me in return?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her guard immediately went up. \"Something like what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know yet,\" he said with a teasing grin. \"But when the time comes, you’ll have to do it. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s something you’ll enjoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna’s face flushed instantly as her imagination betrayed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y–You’re impossible...\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yohan chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And now I can even tell when you’re nervous on top of that...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-06T14:03:47.685Z",1,"novelbin.me","370f6a033fe4a1c2c62421fb81663855e16dd3e90c02d59caf56490b380090cb","ntr-massage-parlour-a-wellness-technique-guide-chapter-219","ntr-massage-parlour-a-wellness-technique-guide-chapter-217",297,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fntr-massage-parlour-a-wellness-technique-guide-cover.jpg"]
