Chapter 261
At that moment, without wasting a single second, the voice on the other end of the line did not bother with greetings or pleasantries. It came out cold and sharp, like a knife pressed against Tyler’s ear.“If you know what’s good for you,” the voice said, low but steady, “then come to the location we just sent you. Any refusal, even a moment’s hesitation, and the person you cherish the most… the one who matters to you… will die. We will kill her. This is not a joke. This is not a bluff.”The words were slow, each word biting into Tyler like ice water running down his spine. The voice didn’t even sound human. It was cold, almost mechanical, but filled with a twisted sense of control.“You will come alone,” it continued. “You will not call anyone. You will not think. You will not plan. You will simply come, or she dies.”Tyler’s heart pounded so hard he could feel it in his throat. His hand gripped the phone tighter, his knuckles turning white. For a moment, he tried to speak his lips p

Without wasting any more time, Tyler pushed open the creaking metal door of the abandoned warehouse. The moment he stepped in, the air changed. It was heavy, thick with dust and silence, but also with something else danger.Each step he took echoed through the massive, empty structure. The broken windows let in streaks of sunlight, cutting across the shadows like sharp blades. Rats scurried past debris and rusted barrels. It was the kind of place no sane person would willingly walk into but Tyler had no choice.He walked forward slowly, his senses on full alert. Then, he stepped into an open space at the center of the warehouse. That was when his instincts immediately kicked in.Standing directly in front of him were four figures armed, masked, and clearly ready for confrontation. But something didn’t sit right. Tyler narrowed his eyes, then slowly scanned the area.He could feel it, that strange pull. That hum in the air. It was faint, but present.Energy there were more than four. F

At that moment, upon hearing what the man had just said, Tyler didn’t flinch. Instead, a slow, almost mocking smile crept across his face. His eyes, calm but sharp, scanned the group of men in front of him like he was looking at a group of children pretending to be dangerous. He took a small step forward, arms loosely by his sides, relaxed, unbothered.“You say you lured me here?” he repeated slowly, his tone laced with amusement. “Let me correct you before you start congratulating yourselves for something you didn’t do.”He tilted his head slightly, voice low but clear, calm yet carrying a weight that silenced the space.“I came here because I was curious. Curious to know which fool dared to kidnap a woman and thought he could use that to draw me in.”He let that hang in the air for a second, then chuckled and shook his head.“So no. You didn’t lure me here. You didn’t trap me. You don’t even know who you're dealing with. I walked in here on my own, not because I was tricked, but bec

At that moment, hearing what Tyler just said, one of the men standing closest to Tyler suddenly burst into loud, mocking laughter. It was the kind of laugh that filled the entire room ugly, full of scorn, and meant to humiliate. The others around him couldn’t help but smirk too, feeding off his energy.“What the hell is wrong with this boy?” the man sneered, wiping a fake tear from his eye. “Is he mentally okay or what? He seriously thinks he’s going to walk out of here?”He stepped forward, puffing out his chest, staring at Tyler like he was some joke of the day.“Just look at him,” he added with a scoff. “Coming in here like he owns the place, trying to tell us what’s going to happen, even throwing threats around like he’s in control. My guy, you just walked into our territory, and you think you’re going to walk out like it’s a lunch break?”He shook his head, laughing again, and some of the others joined in though not all of them. A few looked uneasy, their eyes darting back to Tyl

At that moment, upon hearing what Evelyn just said, Tyler slowly turned his head to look at her his expression cold, blank, and unreadable. The tension in the room, already high, seemed to stretch even tighter as everyone held their breath, wondering what he was going to say.And then, calmly, with a voice that sounded both amused and disappointed, Tyler responded.“Do I—do you actually think I came here to help you?” he said, his words dragging slowly, almost mocking. “Just look at yourself, Evelyn. Look at you. You’re the one tied up like this. You’re the one in that pitiful position. Not me.”He took one step closer, not to approach her but to make sure his voice reached her clearly, leaving no room for misinterpretation.“So instead of begging… or at least asking nicely for help,” he added with a small shake of his head, “here you are, raising your shoulder like you still have control. Like you still have something to prove.”He scoffed quietly, almost like he was tired of even ta

Upon seeing what just happened, the men were frozen in place completely taken aback by how suddenly Tyler had vanished from their sight. One second, he was standing right there, as calm as ever… and the next, he was completely gone like a shadow swallowed by darkness. Some of them even rubbed their eyes, thinking maybe they had imagined it. But no he was gone.Before they could even blink again, before any of them could speak or process what just happened… Tyler reappeared.But this time, he wasn’t alone.He was dragging two men the two strongest fighters they had paid handsomely to assist them in case things went south.Both of them looked completely destroyed.Their clothes were torn, their arms limp, and their faces… their faces were so swollen and bruised, they looked like overripe red tomatoes on the verge of rotting. Purple blotches covered their jaws, and blood trickled from their noses. One of them had a tooth barely hanging from his mouth, and the other looked like he’d been

At that moment, Evelyn was still standing exactly where Tyler had left her, her eyes lingering on the empty space where his car had sped off just a few minutes ago. Her lips were slightly parted, and her brows furrowed as confusion and disbelief ran through her like waves crashing on the shore. Her heart beat unevenly, and her breath came out slow and shaky.She turned back toward the warehouse, that cold, dim place where everything had just happened. Her gaze swept over the concrete ground that still had traces of scuff marks from the struggle, over to the unconscious bodies Tyler had thrown down like broken furniture. The two men were still out cold, their bodies awkwardly twisted as if life had been yanked out of them temporarily. The third one, the one Tyler had dragged out last, was kneeling on one leg, barely able to keep himself up. His face was swollen, eyes nearly shut from the punches, and blood trailed slowly from the corner of his lip.Evelyn’s legs felt like wood as she t

At that moment, as Tyler walked into the store, his steps deliberate and unfazed, none of the four men seated at the center table even bothered to rise. They sat there like kings on thrones, their eyes cold and curious, watching Tyler as if he was merely another minor piece on their board.One of the men, older and heavier-set with a scar across his chin, lazily raised his hand and gestured toward an empty seat opposite them.“Why don’t you have a seat?” he said, his tone flat, like he was doing Tyler a favor.Tyler didn’t even glance at the chair. His gaze was locked onto the man who spoke, but his voice remained calm too calm.“I’m not here to sit,” Tyler said. “I’m here to tell you to leave. All of you. Now.”The room instantly fell silent. Even his mother, standing by the counter, shifted nervously. Her eyes widened, and her fingers slowly curled around the edge of the wooden counter.The man who invited Tyler to sit blinked slowly, as though trying to process what he just heard.

At that moment, after hearing what the man just said, Tyler’s eyes darkened. His jaw tightened, and his hand balled into a fist at his side. The room went tense again.Tyler took a slow step forward, his voice calm but laced with fire. “Do I look like someone who gives a damn who sent you? You think I care about your threats, about the name Bushman? You come here like vultures, demanding something from me as if I owe you my respect or my fear.”He pointed his finger directly at the man’s chest, unfazed by the tension radiating off the group. “I told you before, and I’ll say it again — get the hell out. I don’t care who you are or where you’re from. You’re not walking into my life, sitting at my mother’s table, and acting like you own it.”But just before he could say another word before things could fully explode his mother, who had been silently watching everything unfold, stood up and quickly walked toward him. Her eyes held a mix of fear and deep concern.She gently placed her ha

At that moment, as Tyler’s mother finished her words with firm resolve, the room went quiet—too quiet. Then, suddenly, the boss among them tilted his head back and burst into loud, mocking laughter. His voice echoed through the house, cutting through the tense silence like a knife.“Call who?” he scoffed, still laughing. “Call the security operatives? The police? Or maybe the army?” He leaned forward slightly, eyes glittering with arrogance as he pointed a finger toward Tyler ’s mother, as though amused by her courage. “You really think any of those people can do something? You think you have the power to move them against me?”He gave a slow, smug shake of his head, wiping the corner of his mouth as he chuckled again.“You don’t get it, do you?” he said coldly. “I control all of them. Every last one. Police, soldiers, so-called security operatives you name it. They all work for me. You call them, they’ll smile in your face and report back to us. So don’t waste your breath trying to s
