Ken was still holding his phone when Adrian's voice came from the other end."Come to my office immediately."That was all.Ken frowned, a hint of consideration in his eyes, then asked, "Mr. Adrian, is this very urgent?"Adrian only replied with a low murmur that left little room for joking.Ken glanced toward the door. He actually wanted to leave immediately, but one small problem made him hesitate."I might not be able to get there as quickly as usual.""What's wrong?"Ken sighed and finally answered, "My motorbike is gone."He did not explain further. He felt there was no need to mention that his motorbike was still at Velvet Moon Club."I'll take a ride-hailing service. It might take some time—""No need," Adrian quickly interrupted. "My assistant happens to be not far from where you live. I'll send him to pick you up."Ken thought for a moment and agreed."All right.""He'll be there soon."The call ended.Ken stared at his phone screen for a moment before putting it into his poc

The new motorbike finally stopped in front of Ken’s rented house.He turned off the engine, then got off and looked at the vehicle that just a few minutes ago had still looked like an ordinary motorbike. From the outside, there was nothing particularly eye-catching about it. However, after trying it himself, Ken knew that the motorbike was far from ordinary.“Adrian is really serious about my job.”Ken let out a short sigh before entering the house.Audrey had not come home yet. The house, which usually felt quite lively because of the sound of laptop typing or footsteps, now felt much quieter. Ken placed his helmet on the table, then sat on the sofa while reopening the delivery information he had received earlier.One week.That was the amount of time Adrian had given him to deliver the item. It was not too short, but it was also not enough time for Ken to relax.Ken opened the Web-App and checked the destination. He zoomed in on the map, looked at the main roads, then switched to se

Ken took a slow breath. He forced himself to remain calm, because showing panic in front of these people would only make his position worse.He raised his face and looked at the man standing in front of him.“I don’t know what you mean.”The man fell silent for a few seconds, then chuckled.“Good dog.”Ken frowned slightly.He wanted to retort, but held himself back. Anger would not help him get out of this room, while fear would not make the people in front of him any more merciful.So Ken could only shrug as much as he could.“Then just check if you want.”The man stared at him.Ken continued in a calm voice, “Besides, why would someone as influential as Mr. Adrian hand something important to an ordinary delivery guy like me?”The man’s smile slowly disappeared as he walked closer.“You really are stubborn, and you’re also stupid.”Ken did not answer.“You think we were just waiting for you here?” He chuckled softly. “Ever since you were taken away, there have been people checking th

Ken was still sitting tied to the chair. He used the opportunity to think. The problem was, the longer he thought, the more bad possibilities appeared in his mind.He had to escape.That much was clear.What was not clear was how.Ken looked at both of his hands, which were still tied, then looked around the room once again. There were no sharp objects, no windows, no ventilation openings large enough to pass through, and even the chair he was sitting on felt like it had been deliberately chosen because it was heavy enough to make it difficult for him to move.He tried to remember the movies he had watched.Unfortunately, there weren't many.Ken almost never had time to watch movies. Most of his time was spent working, looking for orders, delivering packages, and calculating whether the money he had was enough to survive until the end of the month.He used to be in college.However, financial problems had forced him to quit halfway through and choose to work harder. At that time, mos

The door began to open, followed by the sudden sound of a loud impact coming from outside. Everyone immediately stopped.Someone shouted from a distance.“Don’t let them in! Catch them!”“Tsk, you think you can stop us, huh! We’re here to cause trouble, haha!”“Hey, stop or you’ll regret it!”The sound of running footsteps filled the hallway. Then the sound of something falling was heard, followed by the sound of blows that made Ken’s guards immediately turn around.“What’s happening?” one of them asked.There was no answer. Instead, two people were suddenly thrown through the newly opened door and slammed into the wall in front of them.Ken froze.Outside, chaos had already broken out.Several men he did not recognize at all were fighting with his kidnappers. There were quite a lot of them, and neither side seemed willing to back down.“Who are they?” one of Ken’s guards cursed.“I don’t know! Don’t let them in here!”Everyone’s attention was divided.Ken looked at the red screen in
