Ryder sighed as he stepped out of the station. Tim's words were still echoing in his head, and he still couldn't believe that Tim had such an idea. But then at the same time, he felt as though he was right. Scorpion and his underlings most probably had connections, and it was going to take a bit of work to be able to capture them.But then would they be punished just as Tim had said they would? He was right, at most, it was a life sentence.But if he were to follow Tim's idea, that would mean that he would become a cold-hearted killer, and that was not something that he wanted.He didn't want to become a cold-hearted killer. Not all criminals deserve to die. Some were not into killing, just like the small thugs who would steal bags and stuff.Though some were also deserving of death, like Scorpion and his underlings. All he had to do was just to make sure to draw a clear line and it was going to be fine.Ryder sighed and shook his head, putting the thought to the back of his mind. Th

"We....." The sales girls stuttered, sweat covered all their foreheads as they looked at the figure standing right in front of them.Standing right in front of them was Jasmine. The real estate company was one of her family's numerous properties, and she decided that since she was in Orange County, she was going to come have a look.She had gone in with the managers and others, and also she was introduced to the sales girls, so they naturally knew who she was.She was just done with the meeting and was about to head back home when she ran into the sales girl insulting Ryder.This instantly made her furious, after all, Ryder saved her from being sexually assaulted.If it was not for him, she didn't know what would have happened to her. Though she was a spoilt brat, she still had some sense of appreciation and instantly stepped in to defend Ryder."And you." Jasmine finally broke the silence as she turned to look at Joyce, whose eyes were wide open, and it was as though her eyeballs wer

Bruce's expression changed then glanced at Ryder before turning back to Jasmine."You're thinking too much, go to your room." Bruce scolded and sent Jasmine to her room."Humph!"Jasmine scoffed, stomping her way back to her room, then banged the door."Sorry about that." Bruce forced a smile then turned back to Ryder."You look so much like her elder brother, and she was convinced he was the one. I would also have believed it if it was not for the fact you have a white hair," Bruce continued with a smile."But then she claimed you were her brother and just dyed your hair white so we won't recognize you."Ryder smiled hearing this. Now he understood why Jasmine was so comfortable with him and was able to act the way she did."But you wouldn't want to blame her though." Bruce chuckled slightly,the sadness in his eyes evident."After all, she was very close to her elder brother. But he's gone now."“Died in a car accident.”"I'm sorry about that." Ryder consoled as he couldn't help but

"Huh?"Everyone stared at Ryder, mouths opened wide not believing their ears.What the heck was he saying? The professionals had just declared the old man couldn't be saved, and here he was, debunking the statement."Ryder, what are you saying?" Avery quickly moved closer to her brother and whispered, trying to get him to stop whatever he had in mind as it looked like he wasn't done yet.Ryder looked at this sister and smirked, then faced the man who was now staring at him."Your father is not dead and could be saved, so why the heck are you yelling?" He continued calmly, staring at the man."You...you sure...sure he can still be saved?" The man stuttered rushing towards Ryder clinging onto him as though he found the last straw.Though he was threatening Avery and the other doctors just now, it was just all empty threats.After all, he was told before the surgery the chances of success were less than fifty percent, and thus, the hospital wouldn't take the blame if something were to ha

Instantly, all the doctors who were about to go meet Ryder rushed towards the incoming stretcher.Avery was no different, she also rushed forward to see what condition the patient was in.The only calm person in the scene was Ryder, though there was a bit of frown on his face, he was far more calm than the rest.The nurses wheeling in the patient breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the doctors.They had been worried that there would be no doctors to attend to the patient since it looked like they were all busy. They didn't know what happened, but all the doctors suddenly seemed to be busy today."Ma'am, is there a need for us to take her into the operating room?" One of the nurses inquired, looking over at the open operating room."I'm afraid not. One of the doctors shook her head then placed her fingers on the patient's wrists."She's gone already." She continued and the other doctors also nodded in agreement with what she had said."Huh?" Everyone froze as they looked at each other no
