Lieutenant Jason glanced at the other four soldiers before replying. “Roger that, Young Master.”As soon as the call came to an end, the only female soldier in this security unit clicked her tongue.“Am I the only one feeling that the young master seems smart beyond his years?”A male soldier nodded his head sharply. “I thought I was the only one who felt it. His way of dissolving issues would make you believe he's an old soul in a young man's body.”“Right?” The female soldier agreed. “Even if he spent his life up to this point in the lower districts of the city, he should be street smart, at least, and yet, he has such a calm tactical approach to things.”Lieutenant Jason nodded as well. “Like the way he gave a certain of power to that driver of his. Years at the prime estate, and not even Master Hunter had interfered with how that guy from the Wood family was treated by everyone. But the young master changed all that.”The silence that followed in the black jeep was filled with de

Gina teared up slightly but she smiled at Theresa. “Uncle Jerry, he…..”“I know.” Theresa nodded her head with a sad expression. “I'm sorry you lost your uncle to those bad guys.”“I'm not. Uncle Jerry deserved everything he got.”Theresa would be lying if she claimed that she didn't expect this kind of reply from the young teenage girl. Jeremiah Detroit was a useless drunk during his lifetime, and he had only ever brought nothing but trouble to the already hard lives of the Detroit family members. Also, Theresa was informed by Benjamin of the signs of physical assault he had found in Gina the night he rescued them. Theresa cursed at the terrible excuse for an Uncle. That drunk was also known for beating up Max and Gina ever since they were little. It was their father who would always help them out and occasionally prevent Jeremiah from going too far with his beatings.While Gina talked with Theresa, Benjamin walked over to the therapist handling Gina, and Dr. Felicia introduced th

“Where else would you go? You're coming home with me, of course.” Benjamin spoke with a matter-of-fact tone.Max tilted his head before chuckling. “Thanks for the invite, Ben, but how am I and the other three members of my family supposed to fit in your one-room apartment? It will be hell, and Grandma Theresa doesn't deserve that.”“Well, it's a good thing that I've moved to a new residence,” Benjamin smirked a bit cockily at his best friend.“Oh.” The realization hit Max. “I forgot that you still have that money from the lottery you won. I hope you're not spending it like that night at the restaurant.”Benjamin wanted to correct his best friend and tell him the true source of his wealth, but he held his tongue, deciding to wait for Max to get better and then see everything for himself.Therefore Benjamin just nodded his head at his friend's advice.Lieutenant Jason Coal was here witnessing the whole exchange between Benjamin and Max, and he was in discreet awe of the young master's s

The shameless man then ordered his spies within the hospital to spread the defamatory news that Dr. Felicia had slept with Benjamin to get that $50 million ‘thank-you' gift.Luckily, Dr. Felicia provided proof negating this news and everyone soon forgot it as they concluded that Dr. Tank must have spread this fake news due to jealousy.All this had happened in the span of a few days.Now, if Dr. Tank had walked in on Dr. Felicia making out with Benjamin, it would have been nothing short of a blessing for the terrible senior resident to make a striking attack against Dr. Felicia's reputation.Back to the present,Dr. Felicia opened the door to find Dr. Tank pointing his hands boldly at the lieutenant who looked like he was seconds away from grabbing the doctor's finger and snapping it off.“Dr. Tank, how many I help you?”Dr. Tank's gaze shifted to the junior resident and so did his pointed finger.“You?! You must be responsible for the leaked chats between me and my side chicks, right

“Do you know why I had your face slapped?” Benjamin could see that the humiliated orthopedic surgeon was listening despite not being able to answer as he was too stunned by the slaps to his face to speak.Benjamin didn't waste time answering. “It's because you dared to slander not only Dr. Felicia, but me. I have close relatives that are in this hospital, all of whom I paid more than $70 million to treat. Plus, I personally left their care in the hands of Dr. Felicia.”The audience began whispering as what Benjamin had said made sense.Dr. Tank felt like he was losing support and needed to sway the audience into believing him. Therefore, he pointed at Dr. Felicia.“Lies! Why on earth would you close the office doors if you were merely talking about patient matters, huh?!”To this, Dr. Felicia stepped forward boldly. “With all due respect, Dr. Tank, it's none of your business what another doctor is discussing with their patient. Here at Health-Bind Hospital, we're encouraged to uphol

The news began spreading around the huge hospital. Dr. Felicia was about to register five clients as her first-ever loyal clients under this hospital.This was a feat that no one would have ever believed was possible, and now, this would become a feat that no other doctor would be able to achieve for the longest time.“A Platinum-level client along with four Gold-level clients all at once. Moreover, this would be Dr. Felicia's first time.”The audience kept repeating these words like a broken record, as it was simply hard to swallow. This was too good to be true.Dr. Felicia was shaking as she gestured toward her office. “This way, Mr. Knox.” She was still waiting for the part where Benjamin would declare that he was simply pranking her all this time.That never happened though. Benjamin walked ahead into her office, and Dr. Felicia struggled through her hazy state to properly register Benjamin and the Detroit family members.As soon as Benjamin walked back out of the office, they wer

“Dr. Tank, have you lost your mind?!” Dr. Felicia yelled with a mix of shock and anger in her voice. “Let those staff members go! They did absolutely nothing to you!”“Shut up, you bitch!” Dr. Tank yelled back at Dr. Felicia with eyes red with fury. “None of this would have ever happened if you didn't collude with this bastard to steal my precious position!”He pointed at Benjamin before letting out a chuckle with a self-mocking tone.“And those traitorous executive members! Do they want to discard me?! After everything I've done for them?!”He turned his head to the ceiling in the crowded hallway as he roared out like a bestial man.“No one can discard me that easily! I'm a medical god! I reign supreme wherever I am!”“Enough, Klaus Tank.” The entire crowd in the hospital hallways turned to Benjamin, who boldly walked forward to admonish the crazy orthopedic surgeon.Benjamin pointed at the older man with a disdainful stare.“You, Klaus Tank, are nothing but an absolute piece of

The soldiers, for the life of them, couldn't understand how Anthony had done something like this in such a short amount of time. It took them twice that time to take down the armed men on their watch and rescue the captives there.Back on the floor, Benjamin received the good news. He suddenly walked forward while Dr. Tank was threatening the representative to summon the executive members or else he would order the captives to be killed.Dr. Tank's demand was straightforward. He wanted the executive members to return their utmost loyalty to him and help him out with all his problems. Then they should fire Dr. Felicia and make sure she never sees the light of day within the medical industry ever again.“I have the perfect answer for you.” Benjamin calmly walked forward before punching the shameless doctor right across the face.The crowd gasped as the doctor fell to the ground once again.“You! How dare you raise your fist at me! You've done it now! Those captives will definitely die,

Internally, she apologized to April for unknowingly creating a hurdle in her path to creating a romantic relationship with the man of her dreams.Seeing that the head butler was now turning her oppressive demeanor on Olivia, Max stepped in, talking to her with an appeasing tone.“Head Butler Lia, talking down on everyone would not solve the current issue on the ground.”“Then what do you suggest we do, Mr. Max, huh?”Before the non-productive argument could proceed, a maid rushed over to talk to the head butler.“Head Butler, the madam is getting anxious. She keeps asking why Mr. Max hasn't returned.”Max, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason recognized this had to be one of Grandma Theresa’s private maids.Around the time that the grandmother-grandson duo had begun living in this mansion, Benjamin realized that his grandmother had become quite close with seven female housekeepers, almost treating them like they were her daughters.After discovering that the old woman simply did it out of lo

Anthony couldn't take this anymore.“With all due respect, Head Butler Locks, you don't know what happened? We had orders directly from the young master to stay put and wait for his return. Someone else's life was in danger because of him and we had no choice but to obey.”“Shut up!” Head Butler Lia did not hesitate to snap at Anthony.She walked towards him and swiftly raised her index finger at him.At that moment, Lieutenant Jason was convinced that the angry head butler was about to slap Anthony too. So he quickly stepped in, standing between her and Anthony.This definitely left everyone watching shocked. There were also housekeepers who wanted nothing but to gossip around all day.Seeing the way Anthony had placed himself between the head butler and Anthony, they were shocked as well.“What's this?! Are my eyes deceiving me?! Lieutenant Jason just protected that driver?!”“Hey?! Shut up! So you want to get punished by Head Butler Lia or the young master himself?! We've been thor

The group finally arrived at the residence, Benjamin's residence.Olivia was left in awe as he saw how incredibly grand this place was. Her eyes were left widened and her mouth was slightly agape as the gates were opened and everyone drove their respective vehicles past the gates.“This place is huge.”Max, who was driving the car, smirked.“And you'll never see any other mansion bigger or more luxurious than this one. It is the No.1 residence in this estate after all.”Olivia turned her focus back to the barracks, where she could see many men and women sparring and training in various ways.From the distance, she could also see that some of these men and women were training with weapons.The unique thing in this case is that these weapons neither looked normal nor functioned normally. Though one could easily tell that those weapons were firearms, the element of ejection did not look like bullets but rather….a beam of blue light.Olivia could also see how each beam would totally disi

Without another word, the female Whiteridge soldier grabbed the other hand of the security guard, who had a tight grip on Max's shirt. She tried the grip open before delivering a cruel punch to the security guard's gut. She then flipped the guy over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground on his back.This definitely brought the attention of everyone within range of view, including other security guards.These security guards rushed over to deal with this woman who had just taken down their members, but the female Whiteridge soldier was immediately backed up by the remaining four comrades.Max was quickly taken to the side as the five Whiteridge soldiers faced more than twenty security guards.“Max, are you alright?!”In his daze, Max turned around to find a pair of dainty hands on his shoulders. Looking up, he found Olivia staring at him with great concern.“Olivia, w….what are you doing here?”Before Olivia could reply, Lieutenant Jason's voice came behind them as he was accompanie

Max was left shocked and a bit terrified. He clutched his slapped hand close to his chest, not knowing how else to convince this guy that he wasn't lying.Max recalled Grandma Theresa mentioning that a lot of these security guards are nothing but snakes - always domineering to residents that didn't have influential Pierre in the estate while kissing the access of powerful residents, hoping to curry some sort of favor from them in the future.Max could also recall that a security guard had lost his job the first time Benjamin and Grandma Theresa came here with Anthony. Apparently, that security guard had tried to humiliate them only to find out that they were the new bosses of the most luxurious residents in the estate.This….Max could now confirm for himself. Clearly, he was being treated this way because this security guard was convinced that he wasn't a friend of Benjamin.The security guard saw the affronted expression on Max's face.“Alright, fine! I'll give you one chance! If yo

Less than an hour later, Olivia was stunned as she was dropped off at her apartment. Max had refused to answer her questions after she heard Benjamin's grandmother unknowingly reveal on that phone call that Benjamin was living in Sunspot Estate - the most luxurious and definitely overpriced living space in the entirety of New Stone City. That is, apart from estates owned privately by families of hidden tigers and dragons.At this point, Olivia was convinced that everyone was hiding something important about Benjamin's identity from her.Olivia saw that the receding figures of the cars had not disappeared. Therefore, she decided to secretly follow them.Olivia was aware that she was intruding by hunting for a secret that her friends didn't believe she was ready to know, and if it was any other situation, Olivia would have respected this.Unfortunately, her best friend was currently in danger. Plus, the most capable man that could save had suddenly gone incognito. Therefore, she really

Olivia, on the other hand, remembered something.“Wait, what about Benjamin's grandma? Her name is Grandma Theresa, right? She must be worried by now. It's nightfall and her grandson should have returned by now. She must be worried sick.”Dread coursed through all three men, more so Anthony and Lieutenant Jason than Max, also with the five soldiers.How on earth were they supposed to explain the situation to Grandma Theresa?Max shuddered as he shook his head.“No, not Grandma Theresa. I can't handle either seeing her angry at me or hurt by this. Both would break my heart.”Anthony sighed.“How are we even supposed to look her in the eye knowing we failed to keep her grandson protected?”Unfortunately for these men, they weren't left with a choice as a call came in.Max retrieved his phone to find it was Theresa Knox calling him.“Fuck! Speak of the devil.” He turned to Olivia with a look of pity.Without a word from this man, Olivia understood what he was begging her to do. Max wante

Max, Olivia, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason were left on the EDU campus till nightfall, waiting for Benjamin to return to them.After the guy had left in the middle of the day, they had hoped with all their hearts that Benjamin would find a way to escape any trap that had been laid out for him, save April, and return to them.Yet, the sky had gone dark and there was nothing but radio silence from Benjamin.At some point, Lieutenant Jason had tracked Benjamin's phone but he couldn't find him. Considering that he was using advanced military tech that was exclusive to the soldiers of the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate’s barracks, it was like Benjamin had vanished from the face of the earth.“What about his car?” Anthony spoke to the lieutenant as they both leaned against the side of Max's car.Lieutenant Jason shook his head.“I’ve tried, but I came up with nothing. It's like the car has vanished from the face of the earth as well.”Olivia sighed as she sat on the hood of Max's car.“Be

Benjamin remained quiet for a brief moment.“It's clear that your objective is to beat me, so I'm allowing it. Though you might need to grab a different bat. The one you just threw away is definitely about to break apart. It won't satisfy your vain desire to torture me.”Andrew, who was certain that he was now alleviated of his pent-up negative feelings, now found his entire body shaking with fury. Benjamin sure knew how to push this guy's buttons.“Bastard! Orphan trash!” Andrew raised his legs, ready to stomp on Benjamin's head when an idea crossed his mind. A sickening smile suddenly replaced Andrew's bitter expression before he slowly went down on his knees to whisper in Benjamin's bruised face.“You know what? I changed my mind. I think physical torture has become dull to me. How about this? I make you watch as Dr. Tank strips your lover on that bed and fuck the shit out of her.”Unknown to Andrew, he had pushed Benjamin over the edge. Sadly, he was too oblivious as he kept ta
