On the other hand, Maddie had managed to stop the bleeding on Jack's back, but still, he needed medical attention. She came here empty-headed without her tools, so there was no way to take care of him properly.

“We need to get him to a hospital,” she suggested.

“Okay.” August nodded. “David, take them there.” He ordered.

“Okay.” David, who hadn’t said anything for a while now, nodded before walking towards Jack to help him up.

“Hazel, Caroline, I know I have wronged you both, and there is no amount of words I could say that can change what happened in the past. But… I…” Compared to the pain in his back, the one in his chest was different. It felt like his heart was bleeding out on the inside. It was so hurtful that he wanted to rip it out and throw it away.

But then he felt he deserved every bit of pain. Even if Hazel offered to beat him up to vent her anger, it still wouldn’t be enough to quench the guilt he was feeling.

On the other hand, Caroline and Hazel froze as they stared a

  • Thirty against one?

    The head guard was the one who got shot. Everyone could see a drilled hole in the middle of his head before blood started gushing out. Chunk pieces of his brain had already scattered to the floor. Blood was everywhere. It was just so horrible to look at. “Did he just say we are hoodlums whom he could take care of? I have quite a temper, so I can’t listen to his crap anymore.” An expert from behind Kaid spoke, still holding out a gun. His name was Night Vision. He never missed a target when it came to guns, and he also had quite a temper. When he saw the head guard running his mouth and looking down on them, he didn’t have to ask for order before killing him off. Besides, he was a killer, and so were many others here. In fact, similar to him, the twenty-nine others would have done the same thing. “It’s good that you shot him. I had wanted to behead him just now and hang his head at that gate.” Another expert said and pointed at the other gate to the main island. “A common guard lo

  • They are just hoodlums

    “Hmph, I never thought that McChord Island would be this beautiful. I had doubts about the pictures I saw online, but now I can see for myself. This place is like a perfect heaven.” Kaid couldn’t help but comment as he looked around the place. The ocean view was just too magnificent. In fact, he suddenly felt the urge to stay in such a place. Who wouldn’t? It's just too stunning. However, a frown emerged on his face as he began to wonder why August Reed had suddenly bought a house here. As for whether he could afford it, that wasn’t his business. He was the captain of the dragon regiment, so it was expected that he was rich, but he liked to keep a low profile. Does this mean that August wanted to live here now? He disappeared for three years, came back, killed his son, and now he wanted to settle down? How could that be possible? His face was distorted the more as he pondered in his head. His car was in the lead while the others were tailing him from behind. When coming in, his

  • A potential worker

    “You all can get lost now.” He said, looking towards the officials. They looked at him, realizing there was no way he would just let things slide like it never happened. However, they were happy that he didn’t take back his money and cancel his intentions of buying the island. Also, it seems like he wasn’t hostile to Sonia like he was to them. This was indeed progress. They could use her to try to patch things up in the future if today didn’t work. Having thought all this through, a sigh of relief escaped their lips.“Okay, sir. We will leave you to your newly acquired property, but if you need anything, please don’t fail to contact us. We will make sure we handle any issues you might have or any adjustments you want.” One of the officials spoke on behalf of the others. As he spoke, the others nodded their heads quickly.“You can start by firing him. That’s the first adjustment I want. I don’t want such people around my property or even managing it. Kick him off.” August said, refe

  • Signing the papers

    Everyone’s eyes nearly bulged out as they saw it was actually August's phone that was ringing. How could this be? How could this arrogant man who is dressed so shabbily be able to fork out twenty-five billion dollars to buy the whole island? It just didn’t make sense. How?The manager looked again and turned to Sonia. “You must have called the wrong number. “He sneered.“Sir, it’s the right one.” Sonia was utterly shocked too, but she wasn’t mistaken about the number she dialed. This man was indeed the one who contacted her and paid for the house.“Hmp! Could you give me the phone? I’ll dial it myself.” The manager was still struggling to believe. In fact, if there were a debate program about the situation at hand, he could argue to death that August would not be able to fork out even five hundred thousand dollars, not to mention twenty-five billion. He snatched the phone from her and began to scroll through the messages. He saw the contact information and copied the number into his

  • I’ll contact the buyer

    His brows knitted together as he stepped out of the car and closed the door. Then he looked ahead. The men were wearing suits. There were both men and women among them, and in total, there were fifteen.“Who are you people?” After looking to the side and seeing the car they came in with, he then looked back at them as he asked me.The people looked at each other and began to talk among themselves.“Who is this man, and why is he here? Didn't you say there’s a big shot coming? The person who bought this place?” An older man who looked to be in his late fifties said with a frown as he looked at a lady in particular. She shivered in fear as all attention was centered on her before she spoke.“Sir, we communicated, and though he didn’t show me a picture of himself or agree to do a video call, he said he will be coming in person to sign the papers and take the keys. He asked me to wait for him here, as he can’t inconvenience his wife by driving over to our company.” The lady was the sale

  • Wasting money

    Meanwhile, at McChord Island. The place was a luxurious island oasis, nestled on the outskirts of the bustling city. The island was a haven of opulence, dotted with five sprawling mansions. These grand estates boast sleek, modern architecture, with gleaming glass facades and meticulously manicured lawns that slope gently down to the water's edge. Furthermore, crystal-clear turquoise waters were lapping softly against the island's pristine shores, creating a soothing melody that contrasted with the city's distant hum. Palm trees sway lazily in the ocean breeze, adding a touch of tropical paradise to this exclusive enclave.In summary, the place was like a paradise, far from what Caroline and Hazel might have expected. As for August, he wasn’t too surprised as he had already seen photos of the place. Each mansion here costs billions of dollars, and with how it looked, he could tell it was worth the price.Perhaps it was time he had his company make something like this. They had yet t
