Lady Xerxes still found it very difficult to say what she had in mind, but she knew that Quin could lose his patience and possibly walk away. “I am not sure how you are going to take this, Quin.” She said nervously, but it was hard for Quin to figure out what to say to her since he had not said anything tangible since they sat down in the living room.“I have a lot of things to do, Xerxes.” Quin frowned, and then he took a deep breath. “If you are going to continue with this silence, then I will have to leave you. You can leave whenever you want to.” He stood up and adjusted his shirt while he got ready to leave. “Wait!” Xerxes stood up from the couch in a hurry and blocked Quin’s way. “Don’t go, Quin. Please…” She pleaded with a whisper, showing nervousness and doubt, but there was no proof that she was ready to say the reason why she was there.“Just give me a minute.” Xerxes pleaded for more time, begging with both her hands and eyes. Quin wanted to deny her another opportunity

There was silence between the two men, but it was obvious that Rollick was in a hurry to attack Quin. More men appeared from the back, and within a short time, Quin was totally surrounded, there was no space for him to escape in case he had the intention of doing that. “What is this, Rollick? Were you bored and decided to visit me?” Quin asked, smirking at Rollick who snarled at him. “What does it look like, Quin? Does it look like we are here to play? You think you can get away with what you did in our abode?!” Rollick took two steps closer to Quin who remained where he had been standing without saying even a word. “I am here to make sure that you suffer for what you have done, Quin! There is no escape this time!” Quin scoffed. “Lord Farrell sent you?” He asked, still holding onto the smirk on his face. “I am sure that there is no way you are here on your own accord. You lack the courage to come against me on your own, Rollick. I am sure that’s why you came here with them.”

Emily refused to leave the room even when she heard Quinn’s voice calling out to her from the outside of the room.She stayed quiet and hid behind the curtain, shaking while she peeped at different intervals, still afraid of the men she saw. “Emily?! Can you hear me?!” Quin’s voice was louder than it was earlier, but Emily still insisted on staying hidden. She refused to unlock the door, ignoring all the constant knockings from Quin.Quin soon got tired of knocking. It was obvious that she was thinking that it could be a prank to lure her out. So Quin walked out to give her space. He returned after about ten minutes and continued knocking. “Emily? Do you want to remain inside there?” He asked, but he got no response. Emily chose to remain quiet without unlocking the door. “Fine. I will be in the living room if you get tired of being mute.” Quin sighed, and then he got ready to walk away. Just then, he heard the metallic sound coming from the door. Emily unlocked the door and ope

Quin looked at Nam for a while. It was hard for him to decide at that moment. “You need to say something, Doctor Quin…” Nam broke the silence, staring desperately while he waited for Quin to say something to him.“I know how this looks, Doctor Quin. But the man said he was going to do anything you want, and he could have come if he had to.”Quin sighed. “What if this is a trap?” He asked, eyes on Nam who didn’t know what to say at that moment.“It doesn’t look like that will be something that you cannot handle.” Nam eventually found what to say. He was talking about everything he saw in the living room.He needed no one to tell him that Quin had beaten up people who came to attack him. “I promise to take full responsibility for this if anything should go wrong,” Nam said, and then he stood up and took four steps forward.“You seem to be very desperate about helping this stranger, Mr. Nam. Is there anything else I should be aware of? Are you hiding anything from me?”“No, Doctor Quin

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXTY Nam hoped that the third door was going to be unlocked, and that they were going to meet someone in there. He watched as Quin moved to grab the handle, praying in silence. Just as he had hoped, the door was unlocked. Quin walked into the room without waiting for more than a second and he waited for a while before he went into the room himself. Neither of the two men had ever seen the middle-aged man lying on the sick bed. He looked older than his age, and from the look of his body, he suffered from a rare disease. A strong odor oozed from his body, causing Quin and Nam to cover their noses. As soon as the man heard the sound of footsteps, he forced himself to lift his head, and then he coughed. “Is that Doctor Quin?” He asked, his voice breaking with every word he said. Quin said nothing to the man. He had his eyes on the sores all over his body, trying to figure out what type of deadly illness that was. The sick man turned to Nam, seeing th
