Back in the car, Benjamin had noticed Andrew glaring at the car only to soon look away, ignoring it. He was glad that he had not allowed Anthony to drive him all the way to the university gates earlier, or else, Andrew might have recognized this car on sight.

“What could they be talking about?” Theresa couldn't help but crane her neck at the suspicious two outside the car. “Benjy, something is up with those two, and something tells me that it's not good at all. Did you see the cash in the envelope that he handed to the landlord?”

She kissed her teeth as another confusing question formed in her mind. “Also, how could the landlord be over here with that young man while his building is still on fire?”

An idea immediately sparked in Benjamin's brain as his gaze turned to his driver. “Anthony, after you dropped me near campus, did anyone see you at all, especially Andrew?”

Even though Benjamin knew the likelihood of the answer he would get, he still wanted to make sure before he snatch

    The communication line went quiet for a few seconds, causing everyone's hearts to be involuntarily filled with a bit of worry.No one would dare utter these words, but everyone was praying to the heavens that their young master wasn't dead.Before Lieutenant Jason could reply, Anthony spoke with an unshaken tone.“Don't bother.” Lieutenant Jason wanted to turn to his partner to see if his facial expression wasn't betraying his calm tone, but he couldn't do so without taking his sunglasses off. Therefore, he could only wonder.Max, on the other hand, was stunned by this.“Anthony, you … why don't you want us to check for Benjamin’s…….” He didn't get to say the word ‘corpse’ as Anthony caught him off guard.“Because I believe in the young master. There's no way he's dead.”Olivia couldn't help but ask.“What exactly makes you so sure?”Anthony replied as calmly as ever.“Because there has simply been no sign of his death so far. Young Master Benjamin may have left without protection, b

    Hearing this, Anthony froze mentally as his eyes, which remained on the road ahead, were now wide. He had no idea that the coms had been left on the whole time, and the private conversation he was having with Lieutenant Jason, turned out to have a whole ass audience listening to them.He glanced at the lieutenant, who now had a hand over his face. Safe to say, they were both embarrassed, especially when the sound of multiple fake coughs could be heard over the coms.Daringly enough, every single one of the dirty soldiers in this rescue mission has heard the conversation between the two.This was definitely beyond embarrassing. The two men felt like they wouldn't mind at all if the earth beneath suddenly opened up and swallowed them.In the other Rolls-Royce, Max sent Olivia a teasing smirk.“Which one of us is being nosy now? You just had to complement their relationship in front of the other soldiers.”Olivia rolled her eyes, even though she could only silently accept her fault.The

    With Lieutenant Jason meticulously leading Anthony, Max, Olivia, and forty Whiteridge soldiers towards the unveiled location where Benjamin could be, everyone's anticipation grew.Though Great Master Hunter Whiteridge had reacted calmly the whole time, despite knowing that his grandson had walked into an unknown level of danger with aid from its backup, everyone else didn't share that sentiment. They greatly hoped that Benjamin was okay right now.Currently, a convoy of twelve cars rushed through the high-rise, quickly getting ever closer to the commercial district.Ten out of the twelve vehicles are SUVs worth over $10 million each. As for the other two vehicles, they were specially designed Rolls-Royce worth over $35 million each. Lieutenant Jason was in one of these Rolls-Royce. The only other person in there with him was Anthony Woods, who sat behind the wheel.Lieutenant Jason stared at the wide screen of the tablet phone in his hands. On this screen is the mapped grid of the en

    The room has gone quiet as the realization settled in their heads.True to Benjamin's words, all of his actions so far were in defense of whatever attack the Tyrone family had sent him, or whatever traps that had been prepared for him.Benjamin never actually took the initiative to strike at them.Benjamin chuckled at the silence that followed. “Oh, you're finally getting it. But I understand, your inflated egos were always twenty steps ahead of your rational thinking. Instead of reflection, you guys doubled down on me. You, Andrew, colluded with your father to humiliate me at the charity event, and I simply prevented that and called out the corruption of your organization.”Andrew ran a hand through his head.“Shut up, Benjamin! Shut the fuck up! You're not going to make it seem like you're not guilty of anything!”Benjamin tilted his head.“But I truly I'm not guilty of anything regarding you guys. This whole time, I was deflecting your schemes.”A frown slowly formed on Benjamin's

    Even Solomon couldn't help but frown at this unexpected change in behavior. He walked forward with his hands still in his pockets, as he observed Benjamin.“Benjamin Knox, do you know where you are?”Alexa found this question odd. Why was Solomon asking him such a basic question?Unknown to Alexa, Solomon noticed that both she and Andrew did not pick up on the fact that Benjamin was somewhat no longer the same person Andrew was torturing a while ago. Something about him has suddenly shifted, and Solomon, who has traveled outside of New Stone City and has witnessed so many abnormalities around the world. Therefore, he was attuned enough to sense a stark difference within Benjamin.Benjamin's gaze shifted to Solomon's face as he chuckled once again.“What kind of a stupid question is that? I was unconscious when you dragged me here. So how the fuck am I supposed to know where I am?”Andrew became pissed by Benjamin's calm voice.“Oh, you still have the fucking nerve to backtalk against

    In the dark, cave-like space in an unknown location.Benjamin was being bombarded. With punches to his face and body.Just like Dr. Tank, Andrew had to stand on a wooden box to properly reach Benjamin's face, as the latter was held up against the wall by chain-linked metal cuffs restraining both his hands and feet.Before finding himself here in this dark room that seemed to be somewhat underground, Benjamin had endured multiple rounds of brutal beating all over his body.Then he endured another round of physical assault from the devilish doctor, which was far worse than whatever the Tyrone brothers and their bodyguards could have done to him at that under-constructed building.Dr. Tank had injected him with what he revealed to be a concocted fluid, with no safety approval. This inevitably made his pain ten times worse.Now, whatever Dr. Tank had injected into his body hadn't subsided in the slightest. So every beating he was receiving from Andrew made him scream in pain.Seeing this,

    Head Butler Lia turned to face off this younger lady.“Miss, I'm going to speak as calmly as I can to you due to your supposed friendship with my young master, but….”Hearing the word “supposed friendship”, Max became pissed off as well, not liking what the head butler was insinuating at all.Thus, he cut her off mid-sentence.“Olivia did not come here as a supposed friend of Benjamin, Muss Locks. She came here as an actual friend. So please, speak to her with some respect.”This finally stunned Head Butler Lia into silence. From the very first day the Detroit were introduced into this residence, Max had always spoken to Head Butler Lia with great respect, acknowledging the importance of her role as the overseer of the residence maintenance.Today, however, would be the first day Max would speak back to her, and it was on behalf of this new lady.Seeing that things were getting out of control, Theresa raised a hand with a soft smile.“You guys, enough of this. Arguing over things like

    It was now around 11:00 pm at the No.1 resident at Sunspot Estate. The large living room of the main mansion was very quiet despite the housekeepers moving about to clean up the place.Max, Olivia, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason had just wrapped up their narration, down to the last bits of what they knew following the incident where the young master of the mansion himself had officially gone missing.At this point, Theresa had calmed down enough to take in every piece of information with a deep frown.“Oh, my baby. Is there no way to track him?”Lieutenant Jason couldn't even dare look up at the wrecked face of his young master's foster grandmother as he replied to her.“I've utilized all of the tracking software at my disposal, and it's become increasingly clear that there's an insistent protection that's preventing us from pinpointing where the young master is.”Head Butler Lia raised her eyebrows at this.“What could be preventing one of the best tracking devices from the prime esta

    Andrew burst into laughter, immediately followed by Alexa's cruel giggles.“What the fuck is wrong with you, Benjamin?! Do you really believe we'd let her go just because you stupidly thought we struck a bargain with you?!”His gaze became cold as the laugh stopped.“Well let your little girlfriend go when we want to.”Benjamin suddenly chuckled in response.“And you're a fool if you think I was talking to you, Andrew. We both know you're not in charge of this operation. Your brother is.”Benjamin shifted his gaze to Solomon.“So, are you gonna keep your end of the bargain or not?”Andrew was pissed at Benjamin's dismissal.“Orphan bastard! What the fuck did you just say to me?!”Alexa was immediately at his side, hands on his chest to calm him.“Don't let this fool rile you up, my love. It's really not worth it. You don't need to show him who's in charge by words. Let him see you in action. Then he'll know for sure how wrong he was.”Sadly, the two were about to be proven wrong, at t
