CHAPTER 111
“I’ll come with you,” Cecilia told Kevin, but he refused to take her with him.“I don’t want you to see all that ugliness,” he said.“You only want me to be with you when things are going good?” she held his hand. “Let me tag along. If my voice can at least be of a little help, that’s all the more reason I should come.”Kevin still didn’t want her because he was not sure what kind of a trap Jack had laid for him.“KEVIN! Come down! Now!” Brielle’s voice echoed in the building.Startled, Kevin and Cecilia hurried downstairs.Brielle was talking to a lawyer. She showed a document to Cecilia. “A lawsuit has been filed against your husband. For sexually harassing that woman we saw on TV, she’s demanding a hundred million dollars.”“A-A hundred million?” Cecilia was utterly shocked. “That’s nonsense!”“If you pay the money,” the lawyer spoke calmly, “you won’t have to visit the court. Otherwise, there will be a trial. If your husband is proven guilty, he’ll end up with jail term on top of
CHAPTER 112
At the headquarters of the state police department.The Deputy Chief was talking with Jack on a private mobile. “I will deal with him, sir.“I want him behind the bars, for at least one day,” Jack said. “For months or years if possible.”“I will make sure he will taste prison food,” the Deputy Chief assured him.“I just sent a gift to your home,” Jack added. “Your wife must have received it.”“What gift, sir?” he hesitantly asked.“A briefcase full of hundred dollar bills,” Jack said. “That’s one million in cash. Under those bills, there’s gold biscuits and a packet full of diamonds. Your wife can get any kind of ornaments she wants made.”“T-Thank you, sir.”“That’s just the tip of what I can give you if you keep supporting me,” Jack stated. “Anyway, I’ll be waiting to hear the good news.”“You can forget about it, sir. Consider the job done.”The call ended.The Deputy Chief sucked in a deep breath. “I’ve heard about him, but he’s quite influential and resourceful. I can see myself
CHAPTER 113
“If you don’t cooperate, we’ll throw you in a combined cell where men love devouring pretty-faced boys like you.”After hearing those words, something snapped in Kevin.He lost it.He didn’t even care about using the system right now.What came out of him was a pure visceral rage that wanted to utterly destroy these officers that were doing everything but their duty.A machine gun’s base was about to strike his gut.He raised his knee so fast it hit the gun, causing it to fly out of the officer’s hand and then it struck another officer’s face.Kevin jumped on one foot and spun over the officers behind him and landed on their backs, forcing the other officers to free his arms.He struck the napes of the officers in front of him, completely whitening their eyes in an instant.“You bastard!” one officer pointed the gun at Kevin’s face and pulled the trigger in haste.Kevin barely dodged the bullet, then slapped the officer’s wrist.This forced the gun out of the officer’s hand.Kevin ca
CHAPTER 114
Kevin’s eyes were covered with a black cloth.He didn’t even know where the officers were taking him.He wondered if they were going to try to kill him like two officers did in the past.However, nothing of that sort happened.The van arrived at the prison.Kevin got up, but the officers purposely kept pushing him out, telling him to move faster even though he was blindfolded.“This is the central prison,” one of the officers said. “Once you get in here, there’s no getting out.”“A big disturbance happened here a couple of days back,” another officer said. “The prisoners escaped, but more than 99 percent of them were brought back. And they increased the security ten times. You can forget about coming to the outside world anytime soon.”Without having to remove the blindfold, Kevin understood where he was.The new warden of the jail was a tall, fat man with a freaking big mustache. His ego, however, was bigger than himself.He was whipping a hundred prisoners in the open while they wer
CHAPTER 115
Kevin was supposed to be put in a detention center, but the guards took him straight to the prisoner block.Most of the prisoners in the cells who saw him recognized him, and they began to murmur and gossip about him.The guards took him to the torture chamber and tied him to a metal chair.“What should we start with? Ripping his fingernails out? Or piercing his fingertips with needles?”“I want to shave his pretty hair first,” another guard with curly, oily hair said, his eyes gleaming with jealousy.“Haha, sure.”They took knives and scissors.“We’re not professional haircutters, so please forgive us if we put a few scars on your scalp and your face,” they mockingly said, expecting to see fear in Kevin’s face.But when they were about to touch his hair, Kevin casually broke free from the bindings and grabbed their wrists, leaving them shocked and speechless for a couple of seconds.The guards looked at each other once and tried to attack him.Kevin just twisted his wrist just hard e
CHAPTER 116
The loud commotion from one prison block attracted the guards’ attention.Warden Rosk and the additional guards rushed over to that particular block, hoping that nothing bad happened.However, the scene they witnessed brought thick goosebumps to every single one.Rosk could not believe what he was seeing.There was a large heap of prisoners in the hall, with Kevin sitting on top of them, his fist blood, but his suit with little to no blood stains on it.Many prisoners were banging their cell doors from within their cells, as though they were showing support for Kevin from inside their cells.“What the hell happened here?” Rosk had his face covered with sweat before he knew it. His heart was racing.He had told the guards to take Kevin to the torture chamber. So, how did Kevin escape? How did so many prisoners escape?And how did so many of them get defeated?Why was Kevin sitting at the top of that heap as if he had overcome all of them?Rosk couldn’t get his head around what he was w
CHAPTER 117
In the evening.Cecilia used all her influence to get the court documents to release Kevin from the prison.However, she came after the closing hours.She was only a few seconds late.She asked the gate guards to let her meet the warden, but they didn’t let her in and instead told her to come tomorrow.Cecilia refused to leave. She stood outside with her lawyers and started calling various people to get the contact number of the warden.Just then, the Deputy Chief arrived there in his police SUV.Cecilia recognized him and rushed over to his car. “I brought the documents. You have to release my husband! Now!”The Deputy Chief did not like how informally Cecilia was talking to him. But because she was from a billionaire family, he had to bear with her attitude.He got out of the car and checked the documents. They were valid.“You must have paid a lot to get these release documents so fast,” he smirked. “I came here to see how he’s being treated in the prison. Let me take you to him.”
CHAPTER 118
Kevin and Cecilia were traveling in a private limousine.“Why did you bring a limousine?” Kevin asked.“I didn’t buy it but just rented it,” Cecilia said. “I wanted to show the people that we won.”Kevin smiled. “We didn’t win a medal to show off. I’m coming from jail. There’s no need to show off now.”[You just said something utterly stupid!] the system warned him.[You’re going to be penalized with ‘muted’ stats! You don’t lose stats, but you’ll feel off for the next 24 hours as if luck deserted you!][Opportunities will be forfeited indefinitely until you come back with a grand show off!][Your rewards will be delayed!]Kevin was shocked by the sudden rush of messages ringing in his mind.“H-Hey, this is too much. I said something totally reasonable,” Kevin tried to reason with the system. “How can you punish me for that?”[The system is locking itself temporarily.][You can still use your stats and skills. But there shall be no guidance or buffs or any kind!]Kevin was left speech
CHAPTER 119
“Kyaa!” Cecilia screamed in horror, her hands clamping against her ears.Kevin, who had fought people with guns, was now struggling against four street dogs. The prisoners and all those who had recently come into conflict would not believe this if one were to tell them.How could dogs get the better of someone who could fight armed men?But nothing of the sort ran through Cecilia’s mind right now.Cecilia quickly recovered and grabbed the dog by its tail and pulled it back. But her strength wasn’t proving sufficient.She could see that Kevin was in trouble, so she kicked the dog in its nuts.The dog let go of Kevin’s ass and squealed at the top of its lungs.Thanks to this, Kevin was able to move once more. Three dogs were still on him. One was still biting his right arm, and the other two were pulling his pants in two different directions.But Kevin could at least move.He started spinning with brute force, and the dogs spun along with him. Such was the physical strength he could mu
CHAPTER 120
Cecilia did not let Kevin leave the hospital until the doctor repeatedly told her that he could go home.Kevin wanted to go to the office to work on Jordan Wang’s project, but Cecilia didn’t let him.She took him home in her car.“You should take some rest,” she said. “No, you should take a break from work for at least a month.”“Hey, I’m telling you that I’m fine,” Kevin tried to reason with her. “I have to finish Jordan’s project, or I will miss a big opportunity. I can’t take a break right now. Please understand.”Cecilia looked at him. “Do you remember the night we decided to live in separate rooms?”Kevin’s expression changed. “Why are you bringing that up now?”“When I suggested that we should take a little break because things were awkward between you and my family members,” Cecilia said, “you said there shouldn’t be any breaks in love.”“I said that?”“Yeah, I said that we never got to fall in love because ours was an arranged marriage. So it’s fine to take a break and sort t
