******

Glenn had no idea who might be after him… he hadn’t had any enemies since returning to Jay City… or so he had assumed.

And this assumption cracked quietly in his mind, not with panic, but with a mild, almost academic curiosity.

If someone had gone as far as abducting an innocent child just to draw him out, then whoever was behind it was either tired of living or he had destroyed their entire family and livelihood.

Still focused on Ben, Glenn continued.

“I will go there and rescue little Ethan,” he said, his voice still calm, steady, and serious, completely stripped of emotion to the point that it sounded almost detached… like a man discussing a delayed appointment rather than walking into a trap designed with a child’s life as leverage.

The reaction was immediate.

Every mouth fell open, several jaws literally slackened, and all eyes widened, all of them acting as though Glenn had just declared he would stroll into a burning building for a casual chat.

But Glenn didn’t g

  • Chapter 392 – The Inhumane Scene Inside a Hotel Room III

    ******“Mas… master, ple… please… I can’t… I can’t again.” The woman’s body trembled even more frantically, appearing like an overworked engine on the verge of catastrophic failure, every breath shallow and uneven.But the instant her voice faded…What descended over the room was more than silence.It was as though sound itself had been erased from the room… as if the world had paused, holding its breath.The other three women froze completely, terror locking their bodies in place.Their faces drained of all remaining color, their skin turning an ashen gray, like corpses that had been dead for weeks.Even James went still.For a brief moment… so brief that it felt unreal, he stared at the woman in a daze, as if trying to process what he had just heard, and that moment stretched unnaturally long.Then…A demonic expression twisted across his face, whatever trace of humanity he might have once possessed vanishing completely, wiped away as though it had never existed in the f

  • Chapter 391 – The Inhumane Scene Inside a Hotel Room II

    ****** With the four women’s hands chained behind them and their legs bound together, even the act of lowering their heads was torture… their flesh scraped against the floor, their muscles screamed, and one of them even let out a muffled sob as her body collapsed awkwardly. It was so gruesome and so horrific that even someone with a heart of stone would have been forced to look away. Then, like trained animals, they extended their tongues and… they began to lick the ground. And witnessing this… James’ grin only widened. It was as though he were watching an interesting comedy movie, rather than an inhumane scene. He looked utterly deranged. Then with deliberate slowness, he scooped up a spoonful of the shredded meat from the bowl and dumped it onto the floor in front of them… the wet slap echoing loudly in the silent room. The moment they saw it, tears poured from their eyes. What lay on the floor wasn’t food meant for humans. It was raw meat meant for guard dogs, hun

  • Chapter 390 – The Inhumane Scene Inside a Hotel Room

    ******Currently inside a massive hotel room.The space was lavishly designed and opulent, expensive to the point of obscenity, yet the scene within it was anything but refined.At this moment, the entire bedding was in complete ruin… sheets twisted, soaked, and clinging together, the mattress beneath damp and misshapen, as though a brutal struggle had unfolded there moments ago.The smell of sweat, sour, and something spoiled lingered in the air, heavy enough to make breathing unpleasant and able to make anyone who suddenly entered throw up.It looked less like a place meant for rest and more like the aftermath of a private war.And beyond that…A man sat at the center of it all.He was naked from head to toe, his body exposed without the slightest hint of shame or restraint.The only thing that resembled clothing on him was nothing but a thick, grimy bandage wrapped tightly around one of his legs, already darkened by dried blood and sweat.Rather than sitting on the ravage

  • Chapter 389 – Glenn and Ben’s Depart

    ******“Do you know where they took little Ethan?” Glenn’s tone wasn’t loud or serious.Instead, it was casual, almost conversational, sounding as if he were asking for directions to a restaurant rather than the location of some unknown enemies most definitely after his life.And hearing him, Ben, who had been on edge the entire time, nodded his head before he even realized it. His movements were too quick, his eyes glossy with anxiety.“I… I don’t know the exact place,” Ben admitted sincerely. “I tried getting it, but they said we can only call them when we’re ready to deliver you. Then they will send us the coordinates.”Glenn nodded once, absorbing the information without visible reaction.“Then please call them,” he said.His eyes flickered faintly, a sharp glint passing through them before disappearing just as quickly.‘Let’s see who thinks they have the capability to get me,’ he thought calmly.He didn’t say it aloud, of course.Experience had long taught him that pe

  • Chapter 388 – Do You Know Where They Took Little Ethan

    ******The abductors hadn’t explained Glenn’s offense, why they wanted him, or anything.Instead, all the spokesperson had said was that… to release Ethan, Glenn had to be delivered to them before the next day without any delays or tricks.Otherwise, Ethan would be killed.The caller had been calm… mockingly calm as though he were discussing a routine transaction instead of a child’s life.They had also been explicitly warned not to involve the cops… the abductors claiming they would know if they did, and once they did, Ethan would die.And as Glenn listened to all this, his expression didn’t change. But internally, he exhaled slowly.In fact, even before his arrival, Ben had already been prepared to go to Jonathan’s house to learn more about him… to confirm whether he had been released from prison.Ben hadn’t recounted much about that to him, but...Glenn knew.He had been certain that if he hadn’t arrived when he did, Jonathan and his family… people who had nothing to do w

  • Chapter 387 – Ben’s Recount

    ******Ben’s voice wasn’t that loud, but it carried weight, completely catching everyone off guard.But before they could react, Ben ignored them and looked back at Glenn.“Okay then,” Ben said, his tone heavy, restrained, and exhausted. “I will give you the information you require.”Silence…Then everyone, “_”They couldn’t help but stare in a daze for a moment, then they turned to Ben in surprise.But Ben wasn’t looking at them. His gaze was locked on Glenn, all the fierceness, aggression, and murderous intent he had shown earlier utterly vanished, as if they had never existed at all.“I don’t know whether you genuinely don’t know what’s happening,” Ben continued slowly, “or if you’re pretending.”His eyes were bloodshot, his expression carved from stress, sleeplessness, and exhaustion.“But I will tell you everything anyway.”A massive wave of disbelief rippled through the crowd.“This…” they blinked in unison, all of them returning to their senses.Then…“Husband!” C
