“What the hell?... Why are you taking part in the bid as well?... Aren't you supposed to be an upright man?" Harry retorted, unable to believe that Max was so shameless.Max chuckled before saying a few words to Martha.The latter quickly withdrew, heading to the car before returning with a briefcase.As he opened it, it became clear that Max was not playing around.Crisp hundred dollar notes were piled up in the briefcase, numbering to a total of one billion dollars."Now then, considering you fools decided to turn this into a place to vent your disgusting thoughts, I believe it's time you take your leave.""What?" Both Rodney and Harry couldn't believe what Max said.“I won the bid, didn't I?... Or would you like to keep going?”“But this.”Before they could say anything, Max called for his guards who quickly took hold of the duo and dragged them out."No!""You can't do this, Max Augustus!... My family won't stand for this!"Despite their attempts to break free from the guards, the

Selena was trapped in a smelly basement with her hands and legs tied up."I trusted you." She muttered weakly as she stared at Carl who was standing a few meters ahead.He bit down on his lower lip while avoiding eye contact."I trusted you to do the right thing!""This is the right thing.""Really?... Kidnapping me and pinning it on an innocent man. He was going to help us take care of the orphanage. He was going to help us fulfill our dreams!""I'm sorry, Selena. But I have to do this. I have no choice." ***Meanwhile, in the police station."Mister Augustus, we've searched the estate. There's no sign of Miss Miller." The inspector, a 36-year-old black-haired man, said.His name was Abed Jones, and he was a man who hated the rich for how they mistreated those who were less privileged.Max sighed. "I told you, I dropped her at her home and then returned home. So how can she be at my place?""We already checked her home and we didn't find anything. Her house was a complete mess.""So

"Sir, that man is a criminal!... A disgusting man without principles!... He doesn't deserve to have the power he has." Caleb immediately cried out.Abed restrained the urge to curse him out as he turned to Max."I'm sorry." He apologized with his head down. "Because of me."Max immediately stopped him. "It's fine. We need to head over to Selena's current location to save her before it's too late."Nodding in agreement, Abed ordered two of his men to take Caleb and Claire back to the station for questioning while the others followed him in accompanying Max to Selena's location.They quickly arrived at the warehouse which looked deserted.A pair of tyre tracks on the dirt road showed that the warehouse was occupied not too long ago."Let's go." Abed immediately rushed in with his team to rescue Selena.It didn't take long before they subdued the mobs inside, and Max entered to find Selena tied up in a corner."Mister Augustus!" Selena cried out joyfully.Max immediately rushed over and

“Damn it, that bastard runs quite fast.” The lead officer cursed aloud seeing Max drive off.“It's not over yet. With Commissioner Watson preoccupied, we don't have to worry about him interfering. We need to deal with Max Augustus now and clean up the traces.”With that understanding, the lead officer remarked. “Don't worry, we don't have to do anything. We'll get the others to get things done for us.”Taking out his communicator, the lead officer began to report the situation at the scene, embellishing until it looked like Max had killed cops out of fear of getting discovered for kidnapping Miss Miller and had them try to pin the blame on Carl.It was an underhanded move, but it seemed successful as within moments, the entire law enforcement of Westbrook was mobilized to take down Max Augustus.The situation was meant to be under wraps but seeing so many armed policemen caused civilians to realize that something was definitely going on, with many rushing to their homes for fear of ge

Faced with such a domineering person, none of the officers dared to say a word, trembling as they wondered about their fates. Snorting derisively, Max intoned, “Duncan, work with Abed to deal with these bastards. I'll go after Selena.” “Will you be fine, young master?” “If I can't even handle a single Carl, how can I hope to defeat the primordial families?” With that, Max hurried into the forest. When Selena woke up, she found that she was tied to a tree next to a stream with Carl currently washing his face in the stream. She stared at him with a face filled with disgust just as he turned to face her. “You are awake,” Carl remarked as he approached her. “What do you plan to do?” “Mister K still wants you so naturally, I'll take you to him. Once I do, it's home sweet home for me. I'll have my money and he can have you.” “Don't you feel any shame?” “Stop wasting your breath, Selena. What's done is done. You had your chance but you decided to waste it. It's your mis
