CHAPTER 71
The string came for their necks.Ethan had no clue that his neck was able to be sliced apart.Kevin stepped forth and blocked the string with his forearm. Both the opponents went past them, expecting the string to cut Kevin’s arm and body, too.However, their momentum was stopped.“Mm?” they looked back only to be shocked from seeing what Kevin did. “H-He stopped the high-carbon spring steel wire with his bare arm? Are you fucking kidding me?”The wire slid up Kevin’s arm, and he held it in his hand.“Idiot, you shouldn’t have done that,” they both pulled the string with the gadgets they held. “Your fingers are going to be cut to pieces!”Kevin also pulled the string in his direction.Both men got pulled toward them, and they rolled on the floor.Kevin pulled the string with both hands, causing the men to fly toward Kevin. He grabbed their faces and smashed them to the ground.Both of them got knocked out coldly.“They talked like they were great,” Ethan snorted, “but they’re weak.”“
CHAPTER 72
Ethan had no idea what Kevin was up to, but Kevin’s expression surely told him that Kevin had some crazy thought in mind.It reminded him of the time when Kevin made him jump from the aircraft, with a parachute, of course.“The police may come here any second,” Ethan was quick to persuade. “Let’s get the hell out of here.”“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” Kevin retorted. “We will have to shift the focus onto others so that nobody will come after you.”“I get that, but what if things don’t go as you plan?”“Trust me, it WILL work.”Kevin then went to a guard that was knocked out. He woke him up and told him to open the gates of all the prisoners.The guard refused to do it.But after Kevin told him he could hide or run away and that nobody would know that he did it, the guard agreed to do it.In a couple of minutes, all the doors of every single block were opened one after another.The prisoners were hesitant at first, but as some stepped out and started running, the others also qui

Dozens of strong men were all beaten in a few seconds, and many prisoners couldn’t even see Kevin clearly.The fact that it was nighttime didn’t help them, either.“How did he do that? He was a ballet dancer but with venom in his foot!” one of the prisoners said.“So what? He can’t fight all of us! And he sure as hell doesn’t have infinite stamina. If we keep pushing, we can easily overcome him!” another prisoner shouted.And hundreds of people roared.If it weren’t for the fact that the jail was on the outskirts of the city, the local people would have heard that roar.However, Ethan who was waiting right outside the prison felt his heart skipping all the way into his throat.More than three hundred people charged ahead at once.They all had one goal.Run through Kevin and get out of the damn prison that had kept them bound for a long time.Kevin felt his adrenaline rushing as he saw hundreds of bodies surging toward him as one mass, their bare feet slapping concrete, and their breat

Later that night.The entire city was supposed to be sleeping, but the people’s sleep was disturbed by the siren sounds of the police cars, ambulances, and the sky was taken over by dozens of helicopters.Police dogs were roaming everywhere, looking for any suspicious person roaming on the streets.Army soldiers also hit the streets.Thanks to all this disturbance, more than half the people in the city were forced awake from their sleep at three in the night.Everybody turned on the news channels, whose ratings have skyrocketed so much even the election times did not receive such viewer ratings.It didn’t take long for people to find out the reason for this utter chaos.So many people thought an extremely destructive bomb was planted somewhere in the city, which would explain the dispatch of the police and other officers.However, the news channels told everyone that a ‘hundred’ prisoners managed to escape from the prison.The truth of the matter was that more than 20,000 people escap

“Where did you go at this hour? To a prostitute’s house? Or to your secret lover’s home?”Brielle’s question stung Kevin’s heart deeply.He was never questioned regarding his loyalty to his wife before, especially because Brielle knew that he was not having any affair with anybody.After all, Brielle arranged someone to observe him throughout the day. In the office, there was his assistant Emma and a few senior workers who were loyal to Brielle, and they would tell everything to her.Kevin knew of this, but he never expressed anger or even frustration.“Why aren’t you answering her question?” Orland asked. His gaze seemed cold as well. “Are you admitting your wrongdoing?”Kevin frowned. “Are you questioning my loyalty?”“You showed who you were loyal to soon after the wedding,” Brielle retorted, “when you paid off your father’s debt. Your loyalty clearly is not with the O’Brian family.”“That’s going too far, Mom,” Cecilia stepped in. “He’s been working his butt off for the past three
CHAPTER 76
The next morning.After a power nap, Kevin left for work without eating breakfast, not because he wasn’t in the mood but his in-laws were at the table, and they were giving him hateful looks.He went to the Draknor Finance company and met Sariyu Shamus.She was surprised to see him. She did not expect him to come back alive. So, it took her a few minutes to get the cash ready.He had only asked her for two million, hoping he’d get at least a million, but Sariyu gave him three million dollars.“I only asked for two,” he told her.“You don’t have to take it if you don’t want to,” she said.“No, I’ll put this to good use,” Kevin said.“Be careful with Jack,” she added. “By now, you should know he’s not someone who spends his time behind a computer and does calculations. If you’re not careful, you’ll get burnt.”Kevin glanced back and looked at her for a second. “You should be careful, too.”After that, he left.Sariyu sat on the edge of the desk and faintly smiled, “He knows my brother m
CHAPTER 77
A few minutes earlier.Jordan Wang and his asian friends were all traveling in a custom-made 12 seater luxury car.“You really live like a king, Jordan,” Gregory Potter laughed. “You must be the only person in the world who has an in-built toilet in a 12 seater car.”“Haha,” Jordan laughed. “It’s a squat toilet, so I doubt you can use it.”“Bahahaha,” Gregory and other friends laughed even more.“You really said it now. I really doubt I can squat for five seconds let alone five minutes,” Gregory chortled.Gregory was a good friend of Jordan, even though they hadn’t known each other for long. Gregory would help find the right companies that would help Jordan build his dreams, especially in the western side of the world.However, it wasn’t Gregory who told Jordan about the Serenity company. It was sheerly due to Cecilia’s efforts that Jordan visited Serenity and offered Kevin a deal.So Gregory really wanted to see what Serenity was all about.Jordan brought along other friends from his
CHAPTER 78
Jordan let his friends get out first. And then he did.Gregory was already giving him a bit of a surprised look. “The company building is smaller than I thought.”“Well, it doesn’t have multiple floors, but it’s got the ground since it’s built long back… before the land in this region gained value,” Jordan said.“I see,” Gregory looked toward the entrance. The guard was sitting there in a chair and was yawning.Even though the guard saw Gregory and others, he didn’t run over to receive them.This naturally hurt Gregory.He waved his hand, telling the guard to come over.And the guard did get up and walked over.“Don’t you see us? Or are we invisible/” Gregory asked, taking out a hundred dollar note and putting it in the guard’s shirt pocket.“I-I didn’t think you were coming to our company, sir,” the guard’s attitude completely changed. “Please come inside.”“Hmph,” Gregory led the group.Jordan calmly followed them in the back while looking around. “I noticed it last time, too, but t

“If you’re lying, you’ll lose the whole deal,” Gregory warned, his eyes scanning Kevin’s expression very carefully.“Give us a second,” Emma grabbed Kevin’s hand and took him to the side. She then urged him in a low voice, “Don’t do this. There’s no need to show them some scratchy work. It’ll only be counterproductive.”Kevin smiled. “What’s really counterproductive is that you are working my aunt when you’re my assistant.”Emma was startled.Kevin returned to Jordan and his friends.“So?” Gregory shot up an eyebrow.“See this and then decide for yourself if I’m lying or not,” Kevin opened his backpack and took out the laptop.Emma secretly began sharing a live video recording to Brielle.Kevin started showing them the design he made. It was a full hundred page presentation.“The first and most important thing that’s to be considered when making a squat toilet seat is the foot platform,” Kevin said. “Children can easily squat, but as you grow older, the knees tend to go apart, so the

“I’ve thought about it a lot and come to the belief that the premium toilet must offer one thing more than anything else,” Kevin showed the slides that showed professional yet funny images put together. “It’s the odor. Nobody likes smelling shit, even if it’s their own.”“Can the bad odor be neutralized?” Jordan asked.Kevin nodded. “There are many ways. We can embed charcoal or zeolite filters in the drain. It will lower the odor, but if we want it to be effective, we can create airflow channels under the rim to draw the air downward.”“How are you going to create an airflow channel below the rim?” Gregory asked coldly. “Are you going to install fans?” He snickered. “Didn’t you just say you won’t be using electronic gadgets?”“We don’t have to, sir,” Kevin said. “We can use spring-loaded systems for the adaptive footrests. The potential energy in the spring can be converted to the kinetic energy and let the air flow out to the charcoal filter or through to the air duct integrated int
