"Oh!"

Xerxes remembered that she had read something like that. But Emily Famous was already hinting at having a relationship with someone else.

Plus, over the years, nobody had sighted the two loving couples together. This ship was going to wreck and she would just be waiting patiently to take the ruins for herself and build a cruise ship.

"I wouldn't mind a little compensation?" The young lady remained determined.

Just then, a bang was heard just ahead of them. The cars came to a halt

"What's wrong?" Xerxes inquired.

"I will check it out. Just give me a few seconds." The assistant replied.

He got out of the car while the rest watched closely. George was encased closely by a convoy of cars.

A group of fully armed men stepped forward. Broad chested and eyes filled with murderous intent.

Quinin recognized one of them in an instant. It was the same man that had looked at him with a death stare earlier that day.

He had come back for him. Just as he noted he was going to do.

Quinin squeezed his hands tightly. He knew that he would come but why did it have to be now?

"What do you want?" George's stern voice inquired.

"The man in the car. Get him out to us and we would have no issues at all."

"Then you better start going already. That man is under the protection of the heiress of the Lincoln family.

Leave now and we will forget this ever happened."

"Oh, the heiress." The eyes of the thug brightened.

"That would be Killing two birds with one stone."

A bounty had already been placed on Xerxes in the underworld unknown to them.

Anyone that was able to get the heiress would receive unimaginable wealth and connection that would serve them the rest of their lives.

Luis' face deemed with a smile hidden underneath his murderous intentions.

"Then I would have her outside the car if you don't mind. I heard she's pretty pretty. I could do a little touching before we eventually get to our final destination." George gnashed his teeths at the provoking words.

The members of the gang drew closer, encircling the guard. Quinin wanted to go outside but Xerxes stopped him.

"You can't leave. I haven't had you for myself yet. And I'm sure George would be able to take care of this." She stressed, still calm, making a joke even at the expense of such a situation.

"I doubt George will be able to help."

"He sure will. He's trained by the household of the Lincoln family. To not only assist me but also to protect me. There's nothing to be worried about."

A loud bang was heard. The words in Xerxes lips froze. A slap just sent George flying to the other end of the street.

"Do you have any other person that needs to be taught a lesson?" The leader of the gang inquired.

Xerxes was still too dumbstruck to speak. Before she even realized what was happening, he had already stepped out of the car.

Because the issue with her twin brother was an emergency, Lady Xerxes had not gotten the luxury of getting proper protection for herself.

"Trying to be a coward again?"

"Is running away really the only survival skill that you have? What happened to those large hairy balls of yours?" The leader of the gang mocked.

"I wonder why the leader was so afraid of you when you're nothing but a weakling.

This would be me showing him that he had mistaken you for someone else and you're nothing." He gritted his teeth.

Xerxes shook her head. She was a beneficiary of the young man and could not even help.

He was about to be delivered to the cold hands of death. She had never seemed so helpless all her life.

If he decided that he wanted to run away, then Xerxes was definitely not going to fault him for it. , it would be the wise decision to make at this instant.

The only problem was, how Quinin intended to pull such a feat.

"If you don't mind. I'm running late. So kindly get out of my way." Quinn remained calm and unfazed, staring up at the rage boiling through the blood of the gang leader.
