Joshua, the security man’s words immediately made the three of them to freeze.Darren frowned deeply."Hurry?" he asked. "What are you talking about?"Jeff stepped forward."Joshua, calm down and explain properly. Why are you telling us to hurry?"Joshua was breathing heavily. Sweat covered his forehead as though he had run all the way to the hospital."There is no time," he said urgently. "You have to leave right now."Alicia looked confused."Leave? Why?"Joshua swallowed hard."It’s Mr. Red."The moment he mentioned that name, Darren's expression darkened."What about him?" Darren asked coldly.Joshua quickly explained."Mr. Red showed up at the mansion with lawyers and police officers. They confiscated everything. The mansion, the vehicles. Everything."Jeff let out a bitter sigh."We already know that."But Joshua quickly shook his head. "No. That is not what I came to tell you."Everyone became silent. Joshua looked around nervously before lowering his voice."After Mr. Red took

The leader of the thugs looked at Darren, Alicia, and Joshua before asking coldly, "Where is Mr. Hilton?"Darren glanced toward the sky where the small aircraft was already becoming nothing more than a tiny silhouette disappearing into the clouds. A mocking smile appeared on his bruised face as he pointed upward and said, "There he is. Go catch him if you can."The man's face immediately darkened. He followed Darren's finger and stared at the departing plane for several seconds. By the time he looked back at them, a dangerous expression settled on his face."Put them in the cars."The order had barely left his mouth before the thugs moved. Several men immediately grabbed Darren while others seized Joshua and Alicia. Darren struggled briefly, but a metal rod slammed into his stomach, forcing the air out of his lungs."Move," one of the men growled.The three of them were dragged toward the vehicles and shoved inside. Moments later, the engines roared to life and the convoy sped away f

For fifteen straight hours, Joshua drove the van at high speed, moving as far away from the city as possible.They had crossed multiple towns, passed through several villages, and even traveled through a large city along the way.By the time the sun was beginning to climb high into the sky again, Joshua finally turned off the main road and drove deep into a wooded area near the outskirts of a small town.The van eventually came to a stop among the trees. Joshua released a long breath before shutting off the engine."We're here, Young Master."Darren looked through the windshield.The place was quiet. There was nothing around except trees and a narrow dirt path leading toward the town in the distance."Here?" Darren asked with a frown.Joshua nodded."For now."The two of them stepped out of the vehicle.Joshua stretched his sore back and looked around carefully before turning toward Darren."This is a small town. If we lay low, no one should recognize you here. After all, people in pl

The cafeteria remained silent for only a few seconds after Darren's declaration.Then the leader's face twisted with fury. Never in his life had anyone dared speak to him that way.Especially not some stranger."You little bastard!"The man released the woman's hair so roughly that she fell to the floor. Then he stormed toward Darren with murder in his eyes."You think this is funny?"Darren calmly looked at him.The thug became even angrier. With a roar, he grabbed the edge of the table Darren was sitting at and flipped it over.Plates and food scattered across the floor. The loud noise immediately sent the remaining customers into panic."Oh my God!""Run!""Get out of here!"One after another, people rushed toward the exits. Within seconds, most of the cafeteria was empty.Joshua immediately stepped forward with a nervous smile."Sir, please calm down. There is no need for this. My friend can be a little stubborn sometimes but—""Shut up!"The thug shoved Joshua so hard that he st

The roar of engines outside grew louder and louder until it completely drowned out every other sound in the area.Dozens of cars and motorcycles appeared. The vehicles poured into the street like an invading army before finally coming to a stop in front of the cafeteria.The woman immediately went pale while Joshua's expression became increasingly grim.Outside, doors began opening one after another.More than sixty rough-looking men climbed out of the various vehicles. Some carried baseball bats. Others carried iron rods. A few openly carried machetes and knives.It looked less like a gang and more like a private army.The men quickly formed two orderly lines. At the center of the formation sat a flashy black sedan.After lingering for a while, the sedan door opened from inside and Herm stepped out. A luxurious fur coat hung over his shoulders while several expensive rings decorated his fingers.Seeing the man, Darren and Joshua exchanged stunned gaze.Herm looked nothing like what
