Chapter 61
Jamie glared down at Harari as he continued speaking. “You treated that young man like trash, ignoring his desperate plea for an advanced payment repeatedly, until he eventually lost his mother to the illness.”He chuckled with a mocking tone as the pain of the memories hit him. “Then he came to you for aid to give his poor dead mother a proper burial, and yet, you sent a dangerous gang feared within LA to go hunt that young man down instead.”Listening to these words, Stella and her underlings felt anger for their young master. They were aware of Jamie's origin. His mother wasn't just anyone. She should have been the madam of the Ashford clan if Michael Ashford hadn't passed away.To hear that Harari Dalton was so cruel to their young master immediately had them placing this man on their hostility list.Harari Dalton took a gamble as he spoke. “Jamie, is that you? Please, Jamie, spare me!”Jamie chuckled with a dark tone in his voice. If the manager hadn't figured out that it was hi

Jamie had a cocky smirk on his face as he spoke. “What kind of question is that? You and I both know that the former owner of Momentuum Nightclub was drowning in a debt of $75 million, and the nightclub itself was registered as the collateral.”Harari Dalton was stunned by this revelation. It wasn't that he didn't know about the debt, but rather, it was confidential information. True to Jamie's words, the former owner had long been racking up the $75 million debt.He stared at this former part-time employee of his, barely recognizing him anymore. Jamie's physical appearance wasn't the only thing that had changed; his bearing had changed as well. “How did you know this?”Jamie scoffed. “I told you, Harari, I'm no longer the kid you used to look down on and trash all over. That young man died the day he lost his mother.”Harari couldn't maintain eye contact. He could not help but be aware that his refusal to aid Jamie back then contributed to his mother's death. Jamie wasn't easily fo

Harari Dalton kept his mouth shut. He wasn't as caught off guard as before. Seeing the people around Jamie, he had guessed that Jamie must be closely affiliated with the Ashford family. Otherwise, what would a powerful soldier like that female general be doing under the young man's command?Therefore, it was also understandable that Jamie had unlimited access to people's information. Those who can command AS99 soldiers would most likely have access to government confidential information. After all, the AS99 is known to hold more influence than the world's governments.In conclusion, it's no surprise that Jamie knew about Harari's childhood. He was hired by the former owner of this club as a charity case, working as a toilet cleaner during the early days of this club. Knowing that there was no other place for him out in the world, Harari poured everything he had into working at Momentuum Nightclub. Through the decades that followed, he remained loyal to this establishment and eventu

Jamie held a hand over his nose, surprised that the smell could still get into the car despite the fact that the windshields are up.Seeing his young master's situation, Tom Yates ran his finger over the car's functional screen, and within seconds, a net of blue light spread up the car's windshields.He glanced at the rearview mirror. “Young Master, don't worry. I've activated the car's odor neutralizer.”True to his P.A.’s words, Jamie soon found the car odor-free. He sighed in relief, as that foul stench was really unbearable. “What's going on? Why is there a Stowaway ghost in the area?”Tom adjusted his glasses - a force of habit. “Young Master, Stowaway ghosts are able to find their way out of the dark world by successfully influencing the souls of recently dead people with unsatiated obsession.”Jamie recalled what he had read during the one week he spent back in the Republic of Maldives. “Stowaway ghosts are incorporeal themselves, so they survive by attaching themselves to oth

Jamie wasn't about to allow this though. “Tom, I won't get in the way, but I need to witness what I'm up against if I'm to be a capable future patriarch of the entire clan. I can't shy away from this opportunity to broaden my view.” He placed a hand on the P.A.’s shoulder. “Take me with you guys. I'll stay in the car with you, I promise.” Tom could only trust in his own ability to keep his young master safe. Should anything happen to Jamie, Raymond Ashford will definitely not let him keep his head. Still, it was decided. Jamie was coming with them. With that, Stella passed on her orders to the two lieutenants and ten soldiers, sharing the information she had gathered about the Stowaway ghost. Jamie was impressed by how efficient the AS99 Organization's protocol is. Before they even got to the battlefield, the group already had the complete profile of the enemy, including the strategy and tools to defeat it. Jamie was able to recall what he knew about defeating Stowaway ghosts

Tom and Stella agreed with their young master.“So in that case, the possessed souls probably belong to the thugs I and my unit killed when rescuing Mr. Billy. As for the manipulated human beings, I have no idea who that could be.”Jamie's gaze sharpened as he turned his head out to his windshield. “I guess we're about to find out.”Right after Jamie said those words, two figures flashed across the car, making his eyes widen in surprise. “They're fast! They're really fast!”Tom nodded his head. “Young Master, this is why I would have preferred that you not come. Even though the stowaway ghost is spread thin, divided into the corpses of so many thugs, it is still very powerful. Its speed alone is not something you can handle.”Jamie nodded his head in understanding. “Got it. I won't leave the safety net of this car, I promise. You guys go do what you have to do. I'll observe everything from here.” Tom shook his head. “As agreed before coming here, I'll remain in the car with you.”To

Stella tapped the in-ear piece. “One possessed ghost has been defeated. How are things on your side?”A bunch of screeching and grunts could be heard over the communication network as the lieutenants and their soldiers reported to their general.“General, we've split into our usual group. My team and I have located one possessed ghost and we're currently containing it.”“General, we just contained two possessed ghosts on our side.”General Stella nodded her head when she suddenly felt three more possessed ghosts coming her way.Inside the Bugatti Divo, Jamie watched as three more ghosts rushed after Stella. “Shoot! They know that she's their greatest threat. Now, they are joining forces to eliminate her.”Tom nodded his head. “Young Master, don't forget that all these ghosts are possessed by one Stowaway ghost. Therefore, it's like a hive mind.”Usually, the Stowaway ghost would have avoided someone like Stella, as her flame power is a bane to its existence. But Stella is actively hu

“We’re about to be ambushed!”Both Tom and Jamie became alert as they could feel the nasty presence that the infested possessed ghost five off.A seconds after that sentence, the two find six possessed ghosts, all corpses of the thugs who had been killed by Stella and four of her lieutenants while saving Billy from the warehouse, now surrounding the Bugatti Divo from all sides.These corpses all stared at the car with their eerily empty eyes, their claws out as they got ready to lunge at what they were looking at.Jamie felt his heart race furiously as he found one of the possessed corpses standing near the windshield, gazing right at where his face was. A shiver ran down his spine as he spoke to Tom. “Hey, can these people see us?”Tom didn't bother with those possessed ghosts roaming around the car as he replied Jamie. “No, they can't. But they can somewhat sense our heat. For cold creatures like these, they're most sensitive to heat, which makes it easy to pick up on the heat that
Chapter 69
First of all, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to break into that car, and persistence would eventually lead to them being set ablaze. And once that happens, their elimination is inevitable.The stowaway ghost controlling these souls wasn't ready to give up. Thus, he changed tactics.Jamie frowned as he saw the rest now running around to grab heavy objects. “Um, are they about to do what I think they're about to do?!”Tom had a look of displeasure on his face as he watched the scene unfolding on the screen. “Fuck! This Stowaway ghost is adapting faster than the records have shown. What is going on?”Tom quickly ran his fingers over the function tablet screen as he spoke to Jamie. Young Master, buckle up!”He started the car and quickly moved out of the way, barely missing a huge trash bin from ruthlessly smashing against the side of the car.Jamie's eyes widened as he saw the brutal impact that the trash bin had on the ground. “Holy shit! They're definitely trying to kill us!”

Jamie watched the screen only to find the same red warning written on it. The Bugatti Divo was in a critical self-repair mode so he couldn't see anything through it. Therefore, he had to look out the windshield to view the bright surroundings.The entire area around them, in the boundary of a semi orb, was covered with lightning flashing down on the ground, causing a chaotic scene. And in between the destructive area, the three possessed ghosts who were able to escape Jamie's telekinetic rebound were now being brutally struck down by the dangerous blue light that seemed to dance without rhythm.Jamie turned back to Tom. “Lightning is your power, right?”Tom glanced back at him while shaking his head. “Nope, lightning is not my power. What you're seeing is nothing but the by-product of my ability.”Jamie's smile dwindled into confusion at these words. “A by-product of your real power, which is?”Tom chuckled despite the chaotic scene unfolding outside the car. “Young Master, you're go
