Jed and Adam got home quickly. It seemed they hadn't been gone for long because Eric was still asleep. But Ben was awake, brewing coffee when they walked in."Morning," They all exchanged pleasantries.Adam looked around and Ben chuckled,"He played games all night so he's still in bed.""Look, I brewed coffee. Do you want some?" He added.Jed stepped forward to accept two cups from him. "We'll be in the room handling some business. If it isn't important please don't disturb."Ben looked like he wanted to say something but he held back. He didn't want to intrude anyone's privacy and he isn't as inquisitive as Eric.So he only gave a short nod with 'okay' and turned back to sipping his coffee while scrolling through his mobile phone.Jed then led Adam to his room. He figured it out after last night. It wouldn't be convenient for him to keep on using the gaming room so Adam could make do with the PC in his for now.He stood by the side and watched as Adam quickly set to work. His thin and

[Boss, someone tried to have Irwin abducted earlier. The assailants are currently undergoing investigation and I've ordered the company's security to be tightened.]Jed's eyes narrowed. He had suspected something was wrong with Irwin but never for once did abduction cross his mind.He texted Johnny back shortly. [Have the entire employees section interrogated and sacked those who should be sacked. If possible, change the company's staff.]"Boss, isn't it strange?" Adam suddenly called for his attention. He looked up."We have been searching the entire footage system now. We have evidence of Mason being detained. But there are no traces of him leaving the station."Jed looked closely at the screen as Adam flipped through the evidence he had managed to collect. "It's as if... He never left," Adam said nonchalantly as he showed Jed footage of prisoners that were freed during the duration of time Mason was meant to be in prison."But the commander in chief confirmed it himself that they

These words startled Jed that he sat up with a start. 'Vendetta, wait, I can't comprehend all these,' he was overwhelmed.Before Vendetta could reply, he suddenly remembered something and asked grumpily, 'I remember the first time I transmigrated, you said minimal tasks don't have a deadline. Why does this task have a penalty? Besides, what do you mean by jailbreak?''User, this task isn't a minimal task,' Vendetta explained. 'User doesn't know what advantage accomplishing this task would bring but all I can say is that once this task is completed, you would have gone halfway through your ultimate task.'Jed paused still feeling skeptical so Vendetta continued,'You see, this task isn't a minimal task at all. It is related to your ultimate task thus the penalty attached to it. However, you can choose to accept this task or reject it.'Jed's spirit lifted. So he could reject this task? But then he thought of something and asked, 'What happens if I reject this task?''If the user rejects

He has lived two lifetimes. The first one, he was lonely, miserable and alone with no family and friends. People he could try to make friends with went out of their way to make his life a living hell.But this life? Only if the original Jedidiah knew how lucky he was. He didn't have a mother. His father doesn't want him, his half-brothers consider him to be a stumbling block in their paths.But his friends... They were his family—"This is crazy!" Adam interrupted his thoughts rudely. "Young master, I'm sorry but I don't agree.""Does your opinion count?" Jed gave him a ruthless reply. Adam was left antsy. How does he dissuade his stubborn young master?Yes, he could contact Mr Skye. Mr Skye would be able to make him come to his senses!"Don't make a move," Jed looked at him and he froze. "Come and stand here."Jed directed him to stand in front of them so he couldn't make a call sneakily even if he wanted to. How did the young master even know what he was planning to do?"I have some

Silence filled the car as Ben turned in the direction of a nearby hospital. "No, head to a nearby pharmacy," Jed immediately protested. "Going to the hospital would warrant unwanted attention which isn't what we want now." Ben didn't argue. He simply swiped the car's GPS and found there was a pharmacy not far away from where they were. When they got there, Jed moved to carry Mason. Ben didn't even flinch as he got a whiff of the horrible stench on Mason's body. Even when Jed carried him, the former remained expressionless so why should he? But the pharmacist reacted differently. He hurriedly put on a nose mask and gave them a curious look. Jed's uniform and Mason's clothes piqued his curiosity. But Jed's cold eyes didn't give him a chance to ask any insensitive questions. He hurriedly led them to an inner room and attended to Mason. Thankfully, his pharmacy was particularly empty at this hour or customers would definitely have been scared away. As he stitched the wounds on Mason
