Chapter 42 - No Payment
She then realised what had happened the other night. “Xander, I have warned you to always respect people and you shouldn’t challenge anyone you see. Do you know the man standing before you?”He continued, “Now, I want all of you to get down on your knees and apologise to Mr. Scott,” he said, referring to Xander and his underling.They knew better than to disobey; immediately, they went to their knees. Francis knew he couldn’t reveal Benjamin’s real identity before them, because if he did, he would be a dead man before nightfall. “Master Scott.” He went to his knees as well. “Please, I am sorry. Xander is one of my men and he had offended you. I don’t know how else to apologise, but I promise I am going to teach him a lesson.”With no other choice, Xander crawled forward, hit his head on the ground twice, “Please, Master Scott, forgive me. I have no idea who you are before, but now I know, have mercy on me.”Xander knew that he was going to face hell from Francis, and the only way
Chapter 41 - Got Slap!
Benjamin pulled out his phone and called Francis. Immediately, the line connected, and he spoke out. “Send me your best men to the new restaurant after the construction site.”Francis was surprised to hear those words; he wondered why Benjamin could have demanded his men.“Master, did anyone offend you?” he asked softly.“Yes, and I want them to be taught a lesson.” He replied.“Master, I am on my way. I am going to make sure I teach that bastard a lesson he will never forget in his life.” Francis voiced.With that, Benjamin terminated the call and turned to face the men.Elizabeth was still etched with panic and fear, her father’s line wasn’t connecting. Leaving her in confusion.She knew these men were deadly, although she had seen Benjamin take down Francis’ men, but not these men. At that time, a man walked into the restaurant. His presence commanded authority, and his aura was confident. He stepped forward, and each step was colder than the last. “Who the hell did this to him?”
Chapter 40 - She Owe You Nothing
Benjamin took another bite when he noticed two men storming into the restaurant. The other men at the corner were frightened at the men’s presence, without being told, he knew something was wrong.He stared at the man who walked towards the small counter, just as the man yelled and cursed, Elizabeth stepped forward, her body trembling slightly.The men looked deadly, without being told, one could tell they were Gangsters. “How dare you start an operation without our permission? You were supposed to make a deposit to our office before operating but you chose to go against us. You will be punished for it.” He stated firmly.Elizabeth shook her head, her hand clasped below her jaw, and she felt fear and panic surge through her body.“Please, give me tonight. I will pay the dues.” She pleaded.Early, she had gone to the office to pay her operation fee, but when she got there with her father, she saw the door was locked, so she
Chapter 39 - Starting A New Restaurant
The following day, Benjamin visited the slum area to look for Elizabeth. After getting off the bus, he took a step forward through the slum area. He walked past the market, remembering the track she had shown him. He walked past clusters of children chasing a worn-out soccer ball, their laughter echoing through the rusted zinc shacks and open gutters.When he arrived at her house, he met an old man seated by the side, his skin wrinkled, his hands rough with years of labour, but his eyes were sharp.“Good morning, sir.” Benjamin greeted politely.He looked up, blinked a few times before his expression softened, “Who are you and why are you here?” “I am Benjamin, and I am looking for Elizabeth.” He replied softly.The old man stared at Benjamin for a moment, “You must be the guy who saved her yesterday from Francis. Thank you so much.”Benjamin returned the smile and replied. “You’re welcome, sir.” “You just missed her, she just left for her new restaurant.” He muttered, calling the
Chapter 38 - Paid Off
With a worried heart, Elizabeth was about to head back to meet Benjamin when she spotted him coming downstairs with an envelope. “What happened? What did he say? Would he come after me after this?” Elizabeth was worried.Benjamin could only smile and respond. “No one is coming after you, I have settled everything.” He said, then gave her the envelope. “He asked me to give this to you, as a payoff,” Elizabeth looked at him shocked, “Was he joking? Why would he give me $30,000?” she thought.“What did you tell him?” Despite how she witnessed him take down Francis’ men, she was still scared. “Just a warning not to come after you again, if he doesn’t want to lose his life.” He responded.She opened her mouth unsure of what to say. She looked at his eyes for a moment. “Thank you for saving my life. I don’t know how to thank you.” Her voice was filled with gratitude.“You are welcome, we need to leave.” He said leading her out of the bar. After they left, Benjamin accompanied her home.
Chapter 37 - Red Eagles Survival
Francis’s hands were raised high; he knew if Raul couldn’t beat the man standing before him, there was no need to fight. He was dealing with a monster! “Elizabeth, what did you bring into my bar? Take him away?” he said with a cracked tone. “Go away, I have forgiven you. If you want more money, you can have it. Take care of your mother. Just leave, I don’t want any more problems.” Benjamin stepped forward and seized him by the collar, lifting him slightly off the ground.“Brother, I’m sorry,” he pleaded, his voice trembling. “I underestimated you. The money she owes me, she can keep it. Let’s just forget this ever happened. I swear, I’ll never come after her or you again.”Without a word, Benjamin delivered two sharp slaps to his face. Teeth flew from Francis’s mouth as blood spilt down his chin.He let out a sharp cry of pain, collapsing to his knees.While crying, his gaze fell on Benjamin’s arm, and he saw the tattoo. His stomach churned in disbelief, and he remembered the tatt
