Jamie cut Meredith off. “I am. Why else would Grandpa Ray be so protective of me, even going as far as to hide my true identity from you guys?”“If it wasn't for the fact that you know General Stella through General Naomi, and that you were able to figure out who my personal assistant is, you wouldn't have found out about me. Congratulations, cousin, you're the first in the clan to know who I truly am.”Meredith's eyes danced around before a cold smirk settled on her face. “Well, good. Now, I know how to take you down. I know who you are, and I doubt the rest of the clan will be happy to learn that the rumor of a long-lost young master is actually true. If I can take you down, doing so with borrowed hands shouldn't be…..”Jamie casually returned to his seat, crossing one leg over the other. His calm statement confused Meredith, and she paused her threat. He waved a lazy hand at her. “Go ahead and do whatever you wanna do.”He raised a finger. “I should warn you, though. That would be

Meredith felt her heart brimming with anger, but she swallowed it. She could now see how flawed her tactics were before coming to Los Angeles. She had belittled Jamie too much, believing that she didn't have to strategize too much to subdue him.Yet, the reality was scarier than she was prepared to face. Still, the art of composure had been instilled in her for a very long time, and thus, she walked over to reclaim her seat directly opposite him.Jamie gave the slightest teasing smirk. “Now, where were we? Ah, that's right! I was telling you that I won't be giving up any of the things you have demanded for. I understand that you have long fantasized about owning this clan representative position over GHG headquarters. But that won't happen as long as I'm alive.”“About my penthouse, I don't get it. You currently reside in one of the clan's private estates scattered around the city. Each one is definitely much bigger than my penthouse, and yet…..”He sighed. “Well, you can go back hom

“I need to talk to Grandpa. I've gotta let him know that his dear granddaughter is here causing trouble for me.”Tom shook his head. “I'm afraid he's currently not available.”Jamie frowned slightly. “What do you mean? Shouldn't he be resting by now? I can't believe the elders are still making the patriarch work this intensely.”Tom replied to this. “Considering his age, he would be resting, and most likely available to pick your calls. But he's been busy lately. There has been a surge in dark entity activities around the globe. It has reached a staggering 60% danger level, in comparison to the last time the world dealt with twenty S-Rank dark entities besieging the world.”Jamie's frown deepened when he heard those words. “60% danger level? Let me guess, the attack happened the same day Wally and those three dark entities bombarded Los Angeles.”Tom showed a holographic display. “On that day, three S-Rank dark entities besieged Los Angeles alone. There were actually a total of fifty-

Meredith gazed at the student profile of none other than Jamie. “Oman?! No wonder he's hiding himself well. He actually used his mother's last name.”General Naomi massaged her wrists. Though she was healed up, the after-ache was still there. This was the terrifying effect of being bound by the Light-motion chain. A human wouldn't survive this at all. It was like pouring acid on the skin. It would simply melt right through the flesh and bones of an ordinary human. They'd be dead in a matter of seconds.She was hesitant with her words. “Young Madam, Young Master Jamie…..he looks like….”Meredith cut her off with a leveled tone. “I know, Naomi. He looks like Late Uncle Michael. Clearly, that's his son. Grandpa must have confirmed it before bringing him in.”Naomi let a long moment of silence pass before she spoke again. “The patriarch's intentions with Young Master Jamie are unclear, but it's not hard to guess.”Meredith sneered as she stared out the window. “It better not be what I'm

Jamie could see the horror on the man's face. “Regardless of her status, she holds no true position within this headquarters. GHG already has a representative from the Ashford clan. She can't do anything but throw tantrums.”Late that night, Jamie left the office and was on his way home when he received a call from his girlfriend. He picked up the call. “Hey, babe, what's up?”It wasn't Sonia who replied, but rather an older man's voice. “This is Kennedy Goodwin, CEO of Wablo Corporation. I am Sonia's dad.”Inside the moving car, all three people stiffened slightly. They've all been in a romantic relationship, and are well aware of how awkward it is to hear your partner’s parents' voice on your partner's phone. More than likely, this call isn't a positive one.Jamie took a second before replying. “Hello, Mr. Goodwin. I didn't expect to hear from you through Sonia's phone. Is she okay?”Kennedy Goodwin replied with a stern voice. “My daughter will be fine. Although luring her out of t

The foreign feminine voice, now identified as Victoria, snapped at the father. “Oh, shut up, Kennedy. You're such an incompetent father! Isn't that why you almost got yourself in trouble with the Crook family? Lucky for you, you met me.”This Victoria's voice became coy. “Isn't that right? Your life has been a mess without me. If I weren't here, you would have died.”Kennedy Goodwin reiterated those words. “If you weren't here, I would have died.”“I am everything to you.”“You are everything to me.”“That's right. You have fallen madly in love with me, and you don't intend to climb out of the deepening hole.”“I have fallen madly in love with you, and I don't intend to climb out of the deepening hole.”Victoria chuckled with a sultry tone. “That's right. You're such a good boy. Don't worry, I'll let you fuck me tonight. It's been a couple of days; I know you're starving.”“Yes, I'm starving for your body, my goddess Victoria. I love you so much.”Within the car, the air had gotten e

After the slap, Victoria proceeded to order the men holding Sonia to whip her ‘just a little bit’. During the ten minutes those men carried out the order, Jamie and his crew had to endure listening to Sonia scream and cry, begging the men to stop whipping her. She was in a lot of pain, and every sound threatened to break Jamie's heart.Once they were done, Victoria’s voice could be heard through the phone. “Oh, Sonia, don't be mad at me. I'm just trying to keep you in check. Without proper discipline, how are you going to truly understand the danger of your actions?”“My dear, you are putting this house in danger by associating yourself with that Honorary Child of Hollywood University. The Crook family. You know your father is tied to them. He can't afford to offend them.”“Well, I mean…he had already offended them, and you're the peace offering he must give up to atone for that sin. You already have a fated partner, and it should be none other than Tyson Crook.”Stella shook her hea

The convoy was at the Goodwin estate gate. One of the AS99 soldiers rammed the bell to get the attention of the security guards. No one came out. However, someone spoke through the mic.“Good evening, how may I help you?”The AS99 soldier replied. “We're here to visit Miss Sonia Goodwin. We've been informed that she's here.”The reply came instantly. “No visitors are allowed at the Goodwin estate at a time like this. Also, Miss Sonia isn't at the estate at the moment.”The soldier listened to the in-earpiece where Stella was passing orders. “Well then, we would like to speak to Mr. Kennedy Goodwin, as well as Victoria.”There was a moment of silence before the reply came. “Please, put some respect on Madam Victoria's name. Otherwise, do not blame us for the hostile treatment you'll receive in return.”Stella was stunned. “Madam Victoria?! As in a mistress of Kennedy Goodwin. I didn't know Sonia had a stepmother.”Jamie's answer was snappy. “She doesn't. An hour ago, there was no such

Jamie's gaze slowly hardened. “Break the gate. We're busting in.”Tom and Stella shared a glance with a smirk on their faces. They were waiting for this moment the second they heard Sonia yelling in pain through the phone call.The AS99 soldier received the order and retreated into the SUV, but none of the vehicles left.The voice of the security guard came through once more. “This will be the last time I say this. Leave now, or….”The sound of multiple engines roaring ferociously spread in the air. One of the SUVs made the move. It moved with speed so intense that the gates weren't just smashed out; the entire parts flew off their hinges and spun through the air. Yet, there was no single scratch on that SUV.The security guards yelled into the night air. “Alert the estate guards on patrol! Call for backup! We have intruders in here!”Jamie's convoy moved incredibly fast, arriving at the mansion. The estate wasn't enormous. By the time the crew arrived at the mansion, they found th

“Are you seeing what I'm seeing?! They're still moving?!”“They didn't even budge!”The leader was shocked as well, but he quickly called the attention of his subordinates into focus. “Enough yapping! Bombard these lambs and slaughter them!”The armed group yelled as they pulled the triggers continuously, until their magazines were empty. Yet, the confusion and fear only grew into terror. Because nothing had happened to either Jamie or the two people walking behind him.One of the armed women yelled. “Fucking Christ?! We've gotta be dealing with some kind of ghosts, right?!”“Ghost?! I think these are dark entities?! They might be impervious to bullets, or all physical attacks!”What these people don't know is that every single bullet had been disintegrated by the AS99 soldiers and lieutenants still within those SUVs. Every time a bullet is released, the AS99 soldiers have the retaliation speed to counter it with a laser beam that melts the iron. Thus, it never reached Jamie and his
