Olivia, on the other hand, remembered something.“Wait, what about Benjamin's grandma? Her name is Grandma Theresa, right? She must be worried by now. It's nightfall and her grandson should have returned by now. She must be worried sick.”Dread coursed through all three men, more so Anthony and Lieutenant Jason than Max, also with the five soldiers.How on earth were they supposed to explain the situation to Grandma Theresa?Max shuddered as he shook his head.“No, not Grandma Theresa. I can't handle either seeing her angry at me or hurt by this. Both would break my heart.”Anthony sighed.“How are we even supposed to look her in the eye knowing we failed to keep her grandson protected?”Unfortunately for these men, they weren't left with a choice as a call came in.Max retrieved his phone to find it was Theresa Knox calling him.“Fuck! Speak of the devil.” He turned to Olivia with a look of pity.Without a word from this man, Olivia understood what he was begging her to do. Max wante

Less than an hour later, Olivia was stunned as she was dropped off at her apartment. Max had refused to answer her questions after she heard Benjamin's grandmother unknowingly reveal on that phone call that Benjamin was living in Sunspot Estate - the most luxurious and definitely overpriced living space in the entirety of New Stone City. That is, apart from estates owned privately by families of hidden tigers and dragons.At this point, Olivia was convinced that everyone was hiding something important about Benjamin's identity from her.Olivia saw that the receding figures of the cars had not disappeared. Therefore, she decided to secretly follow them.Olivia was aware that she was intruding by hunting for a secret that her friends didn't believe she was ready to know, and if it was any other situation, Olivia would have respected this.Unfortunately, her best friend was currently in danger. Plus, the most capable man that could save had suddenly gone incognito. Therefore, she really

Max was left shocked and a bit terrified. He clutched his slapped hand close to his chest, not knowing how else to convince this guy that he wasn't lying.Max recalled Grandma Theresa mentioning that a lot of these security guards are nothing but snakes - always domineering to residents that didn't have influential Pierre in the estate while kissing the access of powerful residents, hoping to curry some sort of favor from them in the future.Max could also recall that a security guard had lost his job the first time Benjamin and Grandma Theresa came here with Anthony. Apparently, that security guard had tried to humiliate them only to find out that they were the new bosses of the most luxurious residents in the estate.This….Max could now confirm for himself. Clearly, he was being treated this way because this security guard was convinced that he wasn't a friend of Benjamin.The security guard saw the affronted expression on Max's face.“Alright, fine! I'll give you one chance! If yo
Chapter 274
Without another word, the female Whiteridge soldier grabbed the other hand of the security guard, who had a tight grip on Max's shirt. She tried the grip open before delivering a cruel punch to the security guard's gut. She then flipped the guy over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground on his back.This definitely brought the attention of everyone within range of view, including other security guards.These security guards rushed over to deal with this woman who had just taken down their members, but the female Whiteridge soldier was immediately backed up by the remaining four comrades.Max was quickly taken to the side as the five Whiteridge soldiers faced more than twenty security guards.“Max, are you alright?!”In his daze, Max turned around to find a pair of dainty hands on his shoulders. Looking up, he found Olivia staring at him with great concern.“Olivia, w….what are you doing here?”Before Olivia could reply, Lieutenant Jason's voice came behind them as he was accompanie

The group finally arrived at the residence, Benjamin's residence.Olivia was left in awe as he saw how incredibly grand this place was. Her eyes were left widened and her mouth was slightly agape as the gates were opened and everyone drove their respective vehicles past the gates.“This place is huge.”Max, who was driving the car, smirked.“And you'll never see any other mansion bigger or more luxurious than this one. It is the No.1 residence in this estate after all.”Olivia turned her focus back to the barracks, where she could see many men and women sparring and training in various ways.From the distance, she could also see that some of these men and women were training with weapons.The unique thing in this case is that these weapons neither looked normal nor functioned normally. Though one could easily tell that those weapons were firearms, the element of ejection did not look like bullets but rather….a beam of blue light.Olivia could also see how each beam would totally disi

Anthony couldn't take this anymore.“With all due respect, Head Butler Locks, you don't know what happened? We had orders directly from the young master to stay put and wait for his return. Someone else's life was in danger because of him and we had no choice but to obey.”“Shut up!” Head Butler Lia did not hesitate to snap at Anthony.She walked towards him and swiftly raised her index finger at him.At that moment, Lieutenant Jason was convinced that the angry head butler was about to slap Anthony too. So he quickly stepped in, standing between her and Anthony.This definitely left everyone watching shocked. There were also housekeepers who wanted nothing but to gossip around all day.Seeing the way Anthony had placed himself between the head butler and Anthony, they were shocked as well.“What's this?! Are my eyes deceiving me?! Lieutenant Jason just protected that driver?!”“Hey?! Shut up! So you want to get punished by Head Butler Lia or the young master himself?! We've been thor
Chapter 277
Internally, she apologized to April for unknowingly creating a hurdle in her path to creating a romantic relationship with the man of her dreams.Seeing that the head butler was now turning her oppressive demeanor on Olivia, Max stepped in, talking to her with an appeasing tone.“Head Butler Lia, talking down on everyone would not solve the current issue on the ground.”“Then what do you suggest we do, Mr. Max, huh?”Before the non-productive argument could proceed, a maid rushed over to talk to the head butler.“Head Butler, the madam is getting anxious. She keeps asking why Mr. Max hasn't returned.”Max, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason recognized this had to be one of Grandma Theresa’s private maids.Around the time that the grandmother-grandson duo had begun living in this mansion, Benjamin realized that his grandmother had become quite close with seven female housekeepers, almost treating them like they were her daughters.After discovering that the old woman simply did it out of lo

Benjamin couldn't be sure if April was physically all right or not. The room they were both in was dark, with the only source of light being the natural rays from the full moon, seeping through the small window opening opposite the wall where April's bed was placed.“April, are you alright?” There was a sense of urgency in Benjamin's voice.Hearing this, April couldn't help but smile slightly. Knowing that her crush was truly worried about her made her happy.“Yeah, I'm fine. Other than being extremely weak, and the fact that I'm tied to this bed, I don't think I'm really injured.”At that moment, April lifted her head only to let out a groan.Benjamin became alert after just letting out a sigh of relief.“What?! What is it?!”April slowly dropped her head back on the pillow, which was actually a soft neck pillow placed beneath her head.“My head. It hurts a bit.”Benjamin stared at her with worry.“Be careful, okay? You got hit pretty hard with that goofball. Plus, your emergency tre
Chapter 279
Benjamin was left to wonder how he had not noticed that April had this capability. There was no way this lady was normal despite the known extent of her past regarding how they met.Benjamin found April being bullied by Alexa and those disgusting sorority ladies, and he assumed that she was a damsel in distress.Yet, April was suddenly showing a mental capability that could only be honed in the most dangerous environment.For example, Benjamin's ability to give off an incredibly terrifying aura, along with his abnormal strength, agility, and power of accurate deduction, were all honed during the horrible incident he endured and later survived although at the age of thirteen.So Benjamin wondered what April could have gone through to awaken such a skill in her.Benjamin even wondered if she had picked up this ability by witnessing him do it multiple times. He quickly erased that, knowing that it should have taken much more than that.Back to the present,For some reason, the nurses bec
Chapter 280
The female nurse clapped her hands while jumping on her toes as if she were a little girl who had just received the best candy in the world.“Yippee! Anyways, the doctor we were working under refused to give that patient those experimental drugs. So we did it instead. Though it has to be done behind the doctor's back. In fact, we didn't inform the patient that we were going to treat him with the experimental drugs.”“We waited until he was asleep, then we began to inject minimum dosage into his bloodstream.”April frowned slightly, looking like her interest was piqued.“Go on.”The female nurse was even more delighted that April was showing so much interest in her narration.“Well, at first, the politician seemed a lot better. Unfortunately, his stupid body began acting funny. It couldn't receive the components of the experimental drugs. So we injected more and more into him, until…..”No one in that dark room needed to be told that the politician from Mexico died from an overdose of
