"Young Master, this event is very important to your grandfather. He wants to show you off to his friends and probably introduce you to their daughters," Chris said, causing Nicklaus to raise his eyebrows."Their daughters? For what purpose? I have important things to focus on at the moment. I enjoy the way things are developing with Stella and Gabriel." Nicklaus paused and sat on the sofa before continuing."If everyone knows about me now, the chase will no longer be this exciting," Nicklaus added."Sir, this anniversary party isn't a large one, trust me. The staff aren't even attending—they'll be working that day. Your grandfather organized it for just himself and his friends," Chris informed him. Nicklaus furrowed his brow, momentarily confused."Why is it called an anniversary then? Shouldn't everyone be celebrating?""Your grandfather doesn't like large crowds at parties because they remind him of tragic events. So whenever he has no choice but to celebrate something, it's usually

"Beg me before I rethink my actions," Nicklaus said, causing Gabriel to burst out laughing."You're a joker," Gabriel said, looking around. He noticed Stella walking toward them."Honey, what are you doing over there? Standing with this wicked man," Stella said, gritting her teeth in anger."I was just telling him how delusional he is," Gabriel lied. Nicklaus was shocked at his words—Gabriel didn't even have the courage to admit he'd been trying to negotiate reasonably."Delusional?" Nicklaus scoffed and decided not to join their childish games today. He walked toward his car, but Gabriel was enraged by Nicklaus's nonchalant attitude."My question is how you get these cars! Your new master, right? How did you land such a job?" Gabriel was trying to attract public attention.Nicklaus narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "When are you going to get tired of these games? Always dragging this out?""If you're not tired, then I can play along, but I'm ashamed on your behalf. The fact that

Nicklaus returned to the villa, quiet throughout the journey. His first guess for the kidnappers had been Gabriel, but unfortunately, it was Richard and Frederick.Thinking about Gabriel, his phone immediately began ringing. He took it out to see it was a call from Michael."Hello?" he answered sternly."Mr. Henshaw, the court session will begin tomorrow as this is a matter of urgency," Michael said, causing Nicklaus to sit up and raise his eyebrows."Have Gabriel and his lawyer been informed?" Nicklaus asked."Yes, sir. The lawyer insists that his client will not pay the compensation," Michael said, leaving Nicklaus momentarily shocked."How foolish. Anyway, what time will it be tomorrow?" Nicklaus inquired, loosening the tie around his neck."11 AM, sir," Michael said."Okay," Nicklaus responded before ending the call. With a satisfied smile, he walked into the shower and let the water wash over him.

"What? How are they finding us?" Richard asked as he moved closer to Nicklaus."Do you have anything with you?" He grabbed Nicklaus and tried to lift him up.Nicklaus couldn't move an inch, and due to Richard's panic, he didn't evacuate the building. He was desperate to take Nicklaus with him."You son of a bitch! You have a tracker on you! I was too lenient with you," he said angrily, trying to carry Nicklaus, but Nicklaus was dead weight, especially now that he couldn't feel his legs and arms.Biting his lip in frustration, he decided to abandon Nicklaus in the building. He didn't want to get caught, but unfortunately, the moment he turned to leave, several men in black uniforms were already standing behind him."Put your hands in the air!" one of the officers commanded, causing Richard to swallow hard. He looked left and right and found no escape route. Having no choice, he dropped to his knees."Take him to the station now!" the officer ordered. Two men grabbed Richard's arms and

Slowly, Nicklaus opened his eyes to see that he was in a cleaner room, much better than the one he'd been in minutes ago."You're awake?" The voice reached his ears, causing him to swallow hard before asking, "Where... where am I?"His body ached all over, but he tried to remain calm."We changed locations, dear. They found us, which should have been impossible," Richard said, causing Nicklaus to realize it might have been the message he'd sent to Chris.Now he had no idea where he was. "Who are you?" Nicklaus asked."You've seen me before, right? I know you have! But I want you to do something for me, okay?" Richard said, causing Nicklaus to raise his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"Nicklaus tried struggling to get to his feet but couldn't, causing him to furrow his brow."It's no use trying to stand up. I realized the ropes were causing bruises on your hands, so I decided to use the modern method," Richard explained."And what method is that?" Nicklaus asked. He wondered what they had

"Frederick?" Nicklaus said in shock."You son of a bitch! You must be joking!" Frederick said, pushing Nicklaus to the ground and forcing his head down. He pulled Nicklaus's hands behind his back and untied his own shoelace, using it to bind Nicklaus's wrists before screaming, "He's over here, boys!"Within thirty seconds, more than four men surrounded them. Frederick stood up and let them handle Nicklaus, then slapped one of them across the face before saying angrily, "Should I help you do your job? What are you being paid for? If Richard finds out about this, you're finished!"He mentioned the name Richard, causing Nicklaus, who had his eyes closed, to immediately open them, wanting to know who Richard was."This time, make sure you lock the door to his room. I don't want this messed up," Frederick said, and the men responded in unison, "Yes, boss!"They took Nicklaus to a different room. Unfortunately, it seemed the previous room's door didn't have a lock.Like the old room, this o
