Stacy's eyebrows lifted as she took a good look at the item. “You're right! That's her necklace! I always see it around her neck! She had always looked so beautiful with it. But….”Billy could see Stacy getting a bit tense, so he gently held her hand, using his thumb to caress the back of her palm. “But what? If you have something on your mind, say it. No one here will judge you.”Stacy actually couldn't look Jamie in the eyes when she spoke. “I did notice that Mama Elizabeth would hide that necklace in her dress, or take it off to put it away whenever she's near my dad.”“I've caught my dad hitting Mama Elizabeth whenever he catches sight of that necklace on her.”Hearing those words, Sonia and Billy easily understood why Stacy was hesitant to speak at first. They all glanced at Jamie to find him clenching both his fists, as well as his jaw as he turned his face towards the floor-to-ceiling windows they were sitting near.Jamie was aware that his mother used to be physically, verbal

To be honest, Jamie didn't expect that staring so closely at this godforsaken place would bring up emotions he thought he had come to terms with.He nodded his head. “Good. Then I won't have to worry about guilt when I'm done with this place.”He whispered to himself. “Mom, this one is for you.”He then began walking towards the doorsteps of the mansion, with Stella and her soldiers right behind him.The security guards were all pointing their rifles at the group casually strolling closer to the mansion. One of them, an older man who looked to be the head of the security, one that Jamie didn't recognize, yelled out. “Stop right there! Put your weapons down and surrender before this gets ugly for you and your bodyguards!”At that moment, Jamie could see Bernard Reynold walking out with Edette Mendoza on his left side and Gordon Bricks on his right side.The sight then opened another floodgate of anger within Jamie. That's right! Edette was also one form of the many humiliations his

Because of the incredibly hot property of their nanotech bullets, the second they make contact with the ejected bullets of the security guards, they don't just crush them or change their trajectory, they melt them into nothing.Stella and her soldiers were easily able to achieve this with their extraordinary senses. If these security guards of the Reynold mansion were aware of what Jamie’s bodyguards truly are, they would have taken the advice Jamie gave them and given it from the start.From where the head security guard stood, his eyes slowly widened at what he found himself looking at. While Jamie simply stood there, untouched by the bombardment of bullets from all sides, his team of bodyguards was moving at such speed that he was actually seeing afterimages from that movement.His legs began to shake in fear at the realization that these bodyguards couldn't be human. He knew that this young man was being hacked up by an Ashford subordinate, which made him realize that there was

Jamie sighed, glad that Nathan wasn't like Jonathan, so he didn't have to deal with the nauseating smell. But then he was quickly reminded of the fact that Nathan was seen lodging in and out of a hotel room at Clayton Skyline Hotel with none other than the woman who would sooner or later become his stepmotherNathan was also a promiscuous bastard, but in a more devious way. Jonathan might be a cannibalistic sex addict, but at least, he wasn't fucking his father's lover.Jamie found the secret room as well, filled with all sorts of poisonous animals. Some of the animals are extremely rare, which means Nathan could have only gotten this many by breeding them in captivity.Jamie had doubts, though. The funding required to save these endangered species from being wiped out for good is a lot, and Jamie was certain that the Reynold family couldn't handle even the financial burdens alone.There's someone else working with them. No, it might as well be a group of people. Thinking in this di

Gordon was about to pull out the pistol he had hidden on himself, hoping to be able to catch Jamie off guard, and take him down in one shot before Joe realizes and turns the gun on him instead.Unfortunately for him, Jamie already picked up on the intention, and he didn't need to move at all to deal with that old man.One manifestation of his lightning arrows. At his current level, Jamie is able to create it from any direction within a radius around him. Fortunately, Gordon Bricks was actually within that radius.Hence, Jamie was able to manifest those lightning arrows right behind Gordon Bricks and send them straight for the back of his neck.Jamie's lightning arrows have become much more destructive, so he had to be very light with this one lightning. He wasn't going to kill this butler, not yet.Gordon Bricks has no idea what happened. All he heard was sharp cracking behind him, accompanied by a sudden ray of dancing light, making it clear that something was suddenly going on behi
