Raymond Ashford slowly got up on his feet, his gaze fierce on his grandson to show his displeasure.

It was at this point that Jamie felt his heart lurch in his throat on instinct. Right now, his initial assumption that his grandfather would bring a weakling was far out the window. This patriarch's gaze alone gave him the feeling of being looked down upon by a giant.

He was wrong. Jamie was just realizing it. This old man, despite his frail physique, was anything but weak. He carried a reason aura, and that was just told by his eyes alone.

The silence in the large office was heavy, and the only thing everyone could hear was Patriarch Raymond's footsteps as he slowly walked around his desk to stand before his grandson.

Due to his old age, his body has shrunk, and he is shorter than Jamie. Yet, it was easy to note that this old man had to be, at least, as tall as Jamie when he was in his prime.

Jamie could only imagine how fearsome his paternal grandfather must have been back then. A bi

    With Billy rescued and the thug leader finally killed, the gorgeous woman and her small group proceeded to set the warehouse on fire, burning the corpses of the thugs inside as well.The area was deserted, so no one would notice for a while that a wooden warehouse was on fire.Meanwhile, with Billy now with them, Stacy hugged him tightly while tearing up. “Dude, what the heck?! I thought you were a goner!”Billy had to weakly remind Stacy to ease up on the hug as he was still hurt.Sonia stared at Billy with concern. “Tell us, who sent thugs after you?”Billy stared back at Sonia. “It seems you already have a suspicion as well. It's your big-shot Oscar-winning boyfriend who had me kidnapped and tortured. He wanted to find Jamie to make him pay for the humiliation he endured at your birthday party.”Sonia clenched her jaws as the anger bubbled within her. “What the actual….”The gorgeous woman interrupted before Sonia could finish cursing. “Miss Goodwin, Miss Reynold, I think we shoul

    Within one minute, all the gang members were dead, except the leader. The previously arrogant man was now standing on shaky legs as he stared at the five unknown men and women. “W….Who are you guys? What the hell are you guys?!”His erratic mood made absolute sense, as he had just witnessed the most insane shooting skill, something he could have only conceptualised in his imagination.These people were some kind of abnormality. He was certain of that.The gorgeous young woman took slow steps towards the leader of the thugs, as she answered his question. “You don't have the right to know who we are. If you ever discover the afterlife, I hope you can remember that you died because you messed with the wrong people.”The shaking thug leader was incredibly terrified of these people. Looking at the five attractive faces, he could sense an unnerving calmness in their bodies. Clearly, this wasn't the first time they've done something like this. But more importantly, their calm state was pr

    “Kill everyone who is not Mr. Billy Carson. Leave the boss to me for further interrogation.”The rest also pulled out guns and daggers. “Yes, Ma'am!”The leader of the thugs rushed backward with great fear on his face, stumbling a couple of feet before gathering a bit of composure. “W….Who are you?! What the fuck do you want?! Do you have any idea who you're messing with?!”He glanced at the now armless man to find him dead due to excessive blood loss. He had what these newcomers had done before even showing their faces, nor did he have any idea how they did it.A sharp dagger was thrown with such inhuman strength that it cut right through the arms of a muscular grown man, and then pinned both arms to the wall. The precision it took to achieve such a feat was also very abnormal.The gorgeous, tall young woman, who seems to be the leader of this small group of newcomers, stared at the boss with very little emotion on her face. “Your doom. To rescue Mr. Billy Carson. Yes, and I'm far f

    The warehouse was quiet as the thugs huddled behind Billy, eyes trained on the laptop screen.“Have you gotten the boy's location yet?”Billy suddenly slapped his hands on the desk. “Enough!”He lurched out of his seat with anger, displaying a weak demeanor as he was still severely injured, barely making it through on painkillers that would soon wear off. “Can you, please, tell your boss that I'm gonna need more time to find Jamie. I've been trying to locate him before I was brought here, and none of it worked.”The thugs were ruthless, and their boss was even more so. He rushed over and slapped Billy with a fist rather than a palm, sending the boy with the glasses falling straight to the ground, almost hitting his head on the concrete.“Listen here, slave, if you prove yourself useless to the task that Mr. Tyson has assigned you, the only other way out for your sorry ass….is death.”Billy was so tired and in so much pain. It's been days since he was brought here to be beaten up and

    Jonathan shook her older brother with a wide smile. “Holy shit, bro! He paid me half a million dollars! What the fuck?! Dad only ever gave us no more than $100,000 per month!”Nathan, on the other hand, glared at the empty space where Tyrone had been standing a moment ago. “Yeah, but I doubt he respects us. He sees us as his lackeys.”The older Reynold brothers didn't like this. Unlike his little brother, he was smart enough to know that this kind of treatment won't create a long-lasting impression on the relationship he's trying to build with Tyson.“We need to be careful with how we approach that guy in the future. Otherwise, he'll never see us as equals.”Jonathan, who was all brawn and no brains, rolled his eyes. “As long as I'm getting something like this, I don't really mind.”Nathan glared at his little brother before backhanding him across the chest. In the end, it was he who felt the pain on his hand, while Jonathan barely reacted to the hit.“Fuck! My hand. Goddammit, littl

    The two bodyguards who were distracted by Stacy earlier had returned to find an intruder in their boss's room.Tyson glared at the. “You useless lump of bodies! Why the fuck did you leave your posts without my permission?!”The two bodyguards were worried they would be punished, so they quickly fell to their knees to give their boss an explanation. They told him that it was a young woman who distracted them.Feeling worried that these bodyguards had done something to her, Billy glared at them. “What did you two do to Stacy?!”Hearing their little sister's name, the Reynold brothers became worried.“Wait, Stacy?! You brought Stacy here with you?!”“Hey, did you two touch my little sister?”The two bodyguards quickly confirmed that they couldn't even catch up to the first lady; she was simply too fast for them.Jonathan sighed before hurrying over to Billy. He raised his leg and stamped the sole of his shoe on top of his chest. “You bastard, you made my sister act as bait?! If these tw
