"Who sent you?" Jeremy fixed his eyes on the man whose hands were on Amy. He wasn't outnumbered and he would be able to defeat quite the number of them. It was because these people knew this and this was why they took his secretary. If only the Verde's vigilantes were here, they would have taken the lots of the minor criminals down. Jeremy understood that he couldn't make a sudden move if he didn't want to lose Amy. He had not taken any bodyguards with him. He thought the ride home would be easy and simple. The appearance of these people showed why he wanted to leave this place and go to Camerida. Jeremy sighed. "Amy, can you handle this? I thought I told you to hide." He frowned and turned to the girl. Amy coughed, and gave a cheeky smile. The two of them were basically ignoring these criminals and of course, no one would be happy if they were being ignored. "Don't you dare think we are joking here?" The criminal said and he tightened his gr

"I beg your pardon?" Mr. Winston said through the phone in disbelief. "You have it for the next six to twelve hours. Sign the papers or get your kid's body party brought to you one after the other." Jeremy's voice was cold as he spoke. His eyes were empty and his demeanor was cold. The Winston's could not see him but they could feel the weight of his words hang in the air. "You stupid boy, do you have any idea what you are saying? Do you know who you are talking to?!" Mr. Winston yelled. Jeremy, unfazed by his words, took a seat across from Lancer who was busy shouting profanities at him. He was amused by their ridiculous threats more than he was fazed. "...and I'm going to kill you and make sure I skin you while you are alive." Jeremy chuckled at Lancer's father's words. "You must think I am bluffing, Mr Winston." Jeremy voiced, tired of listening to the old man's

"Do better Winster!" Jeremy growled. Jeremy walked towards Lancer's grandfather, a calm and collected smile on his face. "You see, gentlemen, you've made a grave mistake," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "Do you even have any idea who you are messing with? You really think you'd have been able to kill me just like that? A Verde?" Grandpa Winster's eyes widened in shock at the sound of that. "What did you say?" he asked, holding his breath, hoping he'd heard wrong. "You heard me," Jeremy replied. He had half the mind to put a bullet in Lancer's head but he knew that wasn't such a good Idea. He wasn't looking for a mess. "You are definitely not a Verde," Mr Winster mocked. He knew Jeremy was bluffing. "He's telling the truth," Lancer was the one to speak this time. Mr Winster gasped as he looked between his grandson and Jeremy. "You can't be a Verde!" He spat at Jeremy who

Jeremy seethed with anger as they left Sophia's mansion. "Mom, how could you tolerate her rudeness?" he demanded, his voice low and urgent. He was surprised he'd even been able to handle her behavior. He'd more than in one occasion wanted to tell her off but decided against it because of his mother but now that he was out of the house, he regretted not saying anything. Reida placed a calming hand on his arm. "That's just how Sophie is. Ignore her. We'll show her who's boss in action. Words are meaningless right now." Jeremy took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "You're right, it's just..." "Don't think too much about it, son." When they arrived at Sophia's mansion earlier, the messenger's announcement had sent Sophia into a flurry. "Oh, I've been waiting to see the Master of Verde," she gushed, her face flushed. "My husband will be thrilled to hear about his arrival." She turned to Jeremy and Reida, her expression dismissive. "You

""Boss?" Sophia frowned, a confused look on her face. "Yes, I have been trying to tell you. Jeremy is the head of the Verde's headquarters." Sophia's eyes widened at the words of her husband and a look of horror covered her face. "Wait... I don't understand.' "It's not that hard to understand, my name is Jeremy and I am the head and CEO of Verde. Nice to meet you!" Jeremy said in a mocking tone. Amy smirked, enjoying the look on the old woman's face. She seemed to Frozen in place, trying to figure out what to do and she loved it. "Um, well. Nice to meet you, officially, Jeremy." She extended her hands for a handshake but Jeremy didn't move to take it even though his mother clearly wanted him to. "Yes, nice indeed." Jeremy said sarcastically and turned to Amy. "Let's go," He said and followed Any out of the lobby. "I didn't realize your son was the head of Verde, Rieda, you'v
