Two hours later after Jack Adams had saved Emilia Williams and her brother Clarke Williams, he is now packing his belongings from his matrimonial bedroom in his in-law's place.
Just then his phone rang.
“Hello, Mr Lee, I have actually warned you not to call me on this line.”
Jack Adams said as he immediately closed the door to the room.
“I'm very sorry, Mr Jack, by the way, I heard today marks the day of your mom's fifteenth death anniversary…”
“I'm really sorry for the loss.”
“Mr Lee, don't worry about that, I will find those who did that soon enough and put all of them where they belong.”
“To what exactly do I owe this call?” Jack Adams asked as he sat on the bed.
“Mr Jack Adams, I would like to beg you for a little favour.”
“You have asked for that favour three times this month…Mr Lee this is the fourth time.”
“Mr Lee, what exactly do you want?”
“I'm very busy at the moment, can't this discussion wait?”
“I really don't think it can, not when it involves Paris Polyphylla.” Mr Lee's voice was a bit hypnotic.
“Did you find more of it?”
“Where?”
“How?” Jack Adams asked, gasping in shock and exhilaration.
“Mr Jack Adams, I didn't find any of it, a friend of mine from one of the elite families is offering a full packet of that rare plant, Paris Polyphylla, to anyone who can cure his wife, Lady Beatrice Williams.”
“Recently Lady Beatrice Williams contracted a deadly virus origin disease and Lord Williams and his family have spent millions of dollars…”
“But all to no avail.”
“So I was wondering if you could show up there, assess the situation and maybe do your thing and get the Paris Polyphylla.”
“A pack of that is valued at nearly two billion dollars…that plant is the perfect description of a green gold.”
“Mr Lee, are you really sure that the Williams family are offering that amount of Paris Polyphylla to anyone who can heal Lady Beatrice Williams?”
“Yes, Mr Jack Adams, I'm really sure about what I'm saying, my sources are as valid as they come.”
“I actually have an insider in most elite families, as the leader of the Elite five families, don't you think that I deserve to have little information on the secrets of my people?” Mr Lee asked, smiling over the phone.
“I really don't have any interest in whatever you just asked, my issue is this…”
“You better be damn right about the Williams family having that amount of Paris Polyphylla because if not I will really be angry with you.”
“Yes sir, I mean yes Mr. Jack Adams.” Mr Lee immediately corrected himself, he was really warned by Scott Benjamin not to blow Jack Adams cover for any reason.
“So is that a yes from you, Mr Jack Adams?” Mr Lee asked.
“I think so, just make sure it's really Paris Polyphylla because we have a lot of these fake plants flying around in the black market.”
“I will Mr Jack Adams, someone will be at Thomas's mansion to pick you up immediately.”
Mr Lee said as he immediately cut the phone.
“This is a relief, now I just have to get two more items and we are ready to go.”
“What are you still doing here?!”
“Hasn't my granddaughter divorced your sorry a** already?!” Lady Nicole Thomas's voice rang in through the door.
“I'm really sorry Lady Nicole, I was just packing up my stuff to leave.”
“Well hurry up! You were never even supposed to be married to her at first!”
“I don't know what is with this generation with love and love and love…who in her right senses would even settle for a poor, unimportant and uninfluential man like you?!”
“I mean look at you, aren't you ashamed of yourself to be even working as a janitor in the same office as your wife?!”
“Nathan Leonard is way better than you will ever be!”
“He is currently the heir to the Leonard's group of companies and you are just…you!”
“Jack, you have really been a disgrace to this family and I'm really happy that Betty finally came to her senses and threw you out of her life.”
“Grandma…she didn't throw me out, I signed the divorce papers.”
“I was the one who decided to leave, and speaking of which, you don't even know me that much and I don't think it would be wise to judge a book by its cover.”
Lady Nicole immediately let out a funny laugh and soon almost the whole of the Thomas family were now inside of the room.
“Grandma, what is going on?!”
“Is the poor brat still here?”
“I was thinking he should have left already, we are expecting Lord Leonard's family soon and I don't want them smelling anything unusual.” Evans Thomas, one of Betty Thomas's cousins said, his voice laced with humiliation and disdain.
“I was just about leaving and I just hope that you people don't live to regret any of your actions.”
“Well, we regret one thing!”
“And that is not kicking you out sooner than now!”
“Do you even know what your marriage to Betty has cost this family?!”
“If Betty had married Justin Bradley or Nathan Leonard by now we would have been at the top tier family level, eating and dining with influential men like Mr Lee the president of Titanium Valley Group…”
“Or even Mr Eugene of the Eugene Global Groups.”
“Jack Adams, every moment I set my eyes on you and recall that you had really married my granddaughter, I feel like puking.”
“If you were the only man left on the face of the earth, I would rather marry a tortoise!” Lady Nicole Thomas said as every member of Thomas's family bursted into laughter.
“Are you all done laughing?”
“Can I please leave now?”
“My cab is already outside!”
“Grandma, don't allow that thief to leave this house!” The voice came from behind and it was Lisa Thomas's voice.
“This thief must have stolen my blue diamond necklace!”
“I can't find it anywhere in my room and he was the last person to be seen around my room!” Lisa immediately accused Jack.
The whole member of the Thomas immediately stared at each other in shock.
“Is he really a gold digger and a poor thief too?”
“What manner of man is he actually?”
“Grandma! If this is true Grandma we really can't let Jack leave this mansion!”
“We have to search for him and find Lisa's blue diamond necklace!” Evans immediately suggested to Lady Nicole Thomas.
“Jack, so you are not just a poor gold digger, you are also a filthy thief!”
“I really wished Betty was here to see the foolish lowlife of a man she was once married to!”
“Quick, Evans grab his bags, pour everything on the floor and search for that necklace!”
“Just pray we don't find that necklace in your bags, Jack Adams!”

Just as the lid creaked open, Clark sank deeper into the cold water, submerging his head to avoid being seen. His breath caught in his lungs, and he curled his body into the tightest position he could manage inside the drum. His heart pounded like thunder in his ears as the lid opened wider.“Wait.” A voice came from above. “Boss said to start with the other one first.”Clark didn’t move. He barely blinked. The lid shut with a dull thud, leaving him in darkness once more.Moments later, he heard the sound of another drum being dragged away. Water sloshed. Then came the metallic creak of another lid.Ben Clifford’s voice rang out, smug and cruel. “Wake up, gentlemen.”Cold water splashed across Lord Leo’s face. He sputtered awake, flinging water from his eyes.“You dare!” He shouted, straining against his restraints. “Do you know who I am?!”Ben chuckled as he poured more water on Jack. “Of course I do. Lord Leonardo Mars. The Leo Enterprise prodigy. Impressive resume… not so im

Meanwhile, back outside…Clark sat in the backseat of the SUV, his headphones plugged in, fully immersed in the virtual chaos of WarZone Legacy Online. His thumbs moved like pistons over the screen, his eyes sharp and locked onto the game.“Let’s go, let’s go, flank them from the south tower!” He yelled into the mic. “Sniper on the rooftop, watch your six ugh! No, not me, man!”His character was blasted apart by a landmine. Clark groaned, slapping his forehead dramatically. “Oh, come on! I was so close to MVP. You guys owe me backup next round!”As he respawned in-game, his eyes casually drifted to the rear-view mirror.Immediately he froze.Two unfamiliar men,muscular, dressed in dark combat gear, each holding an AK-47,were walking slowly toward the SUV from the shadows of the uncompleted mansion’s gate.Clark’s breath hitched. “Uh… guys, hold up.” He muttered into his mic, pulling out the earbuds. “We might have a real-life situation here.”He ducked low inside the SUV, heart

As Lord Leo’s sleek black SUV glided onto the highway, the low hum of the engine was the only sound in the cabin. Jack sat in the passenger seat, his eyes scanning the horizon, while Clark fidgeted in the back, his legs bouncing with nervous energy.“I have a plan.” Clark suddenly declared, sitting forward and gripping the back of Jack’s seat.Lord Leo raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Let’s hear it.”Clark’s eyes sparkled. “We could dress up like pizza delivery guys, walk up to the gate, ring the bell, and when the door opens,bam!,we punch whoever answers in the face and storm inside.”Lord Leo burst into laughter, gripping the steering wheel to steady himself. “Right. We’ll just show up with pepperoni and fists. Brilliant.”Jack smirked. “Actually… if you remove the pizza part and add some stealth, it might not be the worst idea.”Lord Leo glanced at him. “You're serious?”Jack nodded, leaning forward. “Listen. We park far from the compound. Use the cover of night and sneak through the

Scott Benjamin's voice came through the speaker, a touch of disbelief laced in his tone. "Wait… what happened to Emilia, was she kidnapped?”Jack leaned closer to the speaker, his eyes sharp with frustration. "Yes, Scott. She and her cousin sister,Anna. They were taken earlier today. I got a call from my missing phone, and the bastard used it to let me hear her voice. She was in pain."Scott's breath hitched slightly. "Hold on. Your missing phone? What do you mean? How did your phone even get in their hands?”Jack ran a hand down his face, pacing in slow, heavy steps around the control table. "It must've slipped out of my pocket during that little welcoming party Nike Wayne threw. I went to his mansion with Lord Leo. Things got… complicated. He tried to humiliate me, and wanted to offer me a job as his henchman. When I refused, he and Justin Bradley tried to jump me. I dodged them, they ended up hurting themselves more than me. I must’ve lost the phone in the scuffle.""Nike Wayn

Jack stood frozen, still holding the phone, his knuckles white as the voice on the other end clicked off. The line went dead with a sharp beep, and silence fell around the Williams family like a shroud. Slowly, Jack lowered the phone from his ear, his smirk long gone, replaced by a hardened stare that hinted at a fire just beginning to burn.Lord Williams, his voice shaky with the weight of dread, stepped forward. “Jack... what did the man say? What does he want with my granddaughter?”Jack exhaled slowly, his gaze heavy. “He didn’t say anything. Just hung up on me.”Mrs Beatrice covered her mouth as her knees gave slightly. Tears streamed from her eyes as she collapsed into the nearest chair. “Why? What could they possibly want with my Emilia?” She cried, her voice trembling with grief. Clark moved quickly beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.“She’s going to be fine.” Clark said, trying to sound firm. “If we call the police, they’ll find her. They have ways, t
Chapter 75
The wind blew dry leaves across the cracked pavement as the black SUV slowed to a stop in front of the abandoned, unfinished building at the edge of Blue Heavens City. The area was eerily silent, save for the occasional rustling breeze and the distant creak of loose scaffolding swaying high above. Paint peeled from rusted beams, and construction debris littered the ground like forgotten ghosts of laborers past.Emilia pushed open the door of the car and stepped out, her heels clicking against the concrete. Anna followed close behind, her eyes darting left and right. Her arms folded instinctively across her chest as she looked up at the towering gray skeleton of the building."Are you absolutely sure this is the place Jack told you about?" Anna asked, her voice uncertain. She tucked her hair behind her ear and scanned the site with narrowed eyes. "Because this place... seriously gives me horror movie vibes."Emilia nodded. "Yeah. This is the address he gave me. I don’t know why he’
