The kidnappers laughed loudly at the sight of Aunt Emeli, who was now helpless. Her body was covered in severe wounds, her legs were broken, and she had only a little strength left.

"This is the result of you taking care of those two illegitimate children and not letting them die. Even though Mr. Gerry offered you a life of luxury, you foolishly chose to take care of them," said their leader.

Aunt Emeli stared intently at the kidnapper, not caring if she had to die as long as Alexa and George were safe.

"I have no regrets! And I'm not interested in that adulterer's wealth," Aunt Emeli shouted.

"Fine, if that's what you want, you're better off dead. There's no point in you living," he said with a smile.

"Torture the old woman to death," he continued, giving orders to his men.

Aunt Emeli looked very frightened, using the last of her strength to move her legs backward.

"I also want to tell you that the girl has been auctioned off by the big boss at the auction house," he said with a laugh.

Aunt Emeli cried, knowing that Alexa had been auctioned off by them.

The man with the baseball bat laughed, then walked closer to Aunt Emeli and hit her legs hard several times.

"Stop!" Aunt Emeli screamed in pain.

They ignored the cries of pain coming from Aunt Emeli's mouth.

Aunt Emeli's hair was pulled hard, her cheeks were slapped hard until the corners of her lips bled.

"Now cut off her hands and feet. After that, we'll throw her body into the forest," ordered the leader.

Aunt Emeli shook her head while crying, two of them immediately forced Aunt Emeli's arms out to the sides.

"No! Don't do that," Aunt Emeli begged as the kidnappers started the chainsaw, but they just laughed.

"Alexa, George. Take good care of yourselves, Auntie will follow your mother soon," Aunt Emeli said in her heart.

As the chainsaw got closer, Aunt Emeli closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.

"Stop!" someone shouted loudly.

Aunt Emeli opened her eyes again, surprised to see George had come.

"Oh my God. You finally came here too. So you got trapped too, and chose to get out," he said with a laugh.

"George. Why did you come back? Go, don't worry about your aunt. Save yourself," Aunt Emeli shouted.

One of the kidnappers hit Aunt Emeli hard for daring to speak and interfere.

"Shut up, you damn woman! You are not allowed to speak," the man snapped.

"Damn it! If you dare hit my aunt again, I'll make sure you lose both your hands," said George firmly.

The man laughed, thinking George's words were nonsense.

"You're even close to death, but you talk big," he said with a laugh.

"George! Get out of here quickly. Your life is much more important. Aunt Emeli is just an old woman who is useless," said Aunt Emeli while crying.

"Aunt Emeli, don't worry, they are no match for me," said George with a sharp gaze.

The kidnappers laughed when they heard George's words. They knew that George was just a weak man.

"A weak man like you will never be able to fight us," said their leader, laughing.

George looked at them angrily. They were all underestimating him.

"Now, get ready to follow your mother to hell," he said, signaling his men to attack George.

With just one punch, the man was immediately incapacitated and vomited blood. The three of them were quite surprised and immediately attacked George simultaneously.

It didn't take long for George to defeat all the kidnappers, leaving them helpless.

George approached Aunt Emeli and untied her.

"George, save Alexa. She has been auctioned off by those cursed humans," said Aunt Emeli, her voice faltering. After that, Aunt Emeli lost consciousness.

"Aunt Emeli!" cried George.

George's men arrived; they had been fighting several guards outside.

"Liam! Quickly take Aunt Emeli to the hospital," shouted George emotionally.

Three of George's men immediately took Aunt Emeli to the hospital.

George then stared at the kidnappers, making them afraid.

"Where is my sister?" asked George as he walked towards them.

"We don't know. We only know that your sister will be auctioned off soon," replied one of the kidnappers.

"You dare lie to me?" George growled, holding back his emotions.

"We swear. We really don't know where your sister is being auctioned off. Maybe Mr. Anthony knows, because he's the one who took your sister away," replied the leader of the kidnappers with a trembling voice.

Hearing the name Anthony made George fall silent. He knew Anthony was Charlotte's personal assistant.

The kidnappers looked at each other and smiled, thinking that George was afraid of Anthony.

"Are you afraid? He is very powerful and strong. You will definitely die," George, who heard this, immediately kicked the leader in the chest.

"There is no fear in me! Anyone who dares to touch my family must die," George snapped, making the kidnappers afraid again.

George walked closer to them, lifting the leader's neck with one hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"If you all lied to me, I will make sure to kill you all one by one," said George with a sharp gaze.

"We're not lying. Really! We only know that your sister will be auctioned off," he replied with a stammer.

George threw the man's body violently, overcome with emotion.

"Bastard! I'll make sure anyone who dares to touch Alexa will die by my hand," George shouted emotionally.

Suddenly, a man entered the room, lighting a cigarette.

"Has the old woman been killed?" he asked, causing George to immediately look at the man.

"That's him. That man must know where Alexa is," George muttered, staring intently at the man.

    The orphanage director bowed his head. It wasn’t the first time George had helped this orphanage; he was practically a major donor there, providing money, food, clothing, and other supplies almost every month. Usually, when George was very busy, Gavi or Liam would take over the task of delivering aid to the orphanage.Only this time had George assigned the task to an ordinary subordinate—without his supervision.“Let’s investigate this matter together; I will take full responsibility. Whether this is my fault or not, I will still help the victims,” George said firmly.Actually, George had already suspected this problem would inevitably arise; he had intentionally made sure the bald man focused solely on the fact that he was buying a lot of food for the orphanage, without realizing that he had been aiding a village located in that damned president’s territory.“Alright. Let’s investigate this together. I’ll gather some of the staff who weren’t poisoned so they can provide an explanatio

    The village chief and several villagers immediately approached George with worried expressions.“Commander, do you have an urgent matter? You’re free to leave. It seems many villagers here have already recovered, and conditions here are much better now. Don’t let that man tarnish your reputation if you stay here,” said the village chief.George gave a faint smile, as the village chief here was very understanding and wise. He was quite impressed with the leader of this village.“Thank you. But it seems only my assistant and I will be leaving. The rest of the team has been assigned to stay here, as many villagers are still sick and the situation isn’t yet stable,” replied George.“Thank you, Commander. You’re still concerned about this village, even though you have issues of your own to handle,” said the village chief’s wife.“It’s fine. They just want to tarnish my reputation; it’s not a big deal. They don’t have strong evidence to bring me down,” said George.George still looked very

    George turned off his phone to focus more on handling the village’s issues. He certainly couldn’t resolve them all at once, but he would ensure that each problem was resolved one by one.That damn president sent a message. Saying that his reputation was about to be ruined, but George chose not to respond. He already knew the direction of that bald man’s devious plan.“He’s completely unfit to be president. Just because I didn’t bow to his rules, he’s so eager to destroy me,” George thought to himself with a faint smile. “We’ll see if he’s really capable or not.”They had arrived at the village, where many residents’ conditions were worsening. Upon seeing the three private jets, they looked overjoyed. With enthusiasm, the villagers immediately rushed toward the jets.Fortunately, the village area was accessible to their private jets.George immediately ordered the medical staff to treat the sick villagers and instructed his men to distribute food and clean water to the residents.“Than

    George saw Liam, who was already in the living room chatting with Alexa and Niccole.“Liam, have you been waiting long?” George asked as he sat down next to Alexa.“Not too long, but it looks like we need to leave soon because there’s a little problem,” Liam replied.“Another problem?” George asked.Liam gave George a signal to check his phone. George understood the signal Liam had given him.“It doesn’t seem like a big problem, but we still need to leave right away, before it turns into a big one,” Liam replied.“Alright, I understand.”George took out his phone and read Liam’s message carefully. However, he tried to stay calm since Alexa and Niccole were still there.He instructed Gavi to carry out his plan. They must not know that the food and clean water were intended for that village. The two spies had to be fed false information.“Geo, is there another problem?” Alexa asked with a worried expression."It’s okay, Alexa. It’s still about that village suffering from drought—we have

    George gave a faint smile; he had now arrived at his rental home. He couldn’t wait to see Alexa.George reached out to knock on the door, and shortly afterward, it opened.“Geo,” Niccole whispered.Niccole looked at George with concern, especially since he looked a complete mess. His face was a little pale and dirty, because George hadn’t had time to shower or change his clothes.“Are you okay?” Niccole asked, her face full of concern.“I’m fine. I just haven’t showered in a few days, so I look a mess. I came straight home after my shift. I’ve missed Alexa—where is she?”Just as Niccole was about to answer, George spotted Alexa. He kept watching Alexa, who was now able to walk normally, without needing a wheelchair anymore.His heart ached, because he hadn’t been able to be there for Alexa’s recovery process.“Alexa!” George called out.Alexa, hearing her name, immediately turned toward George; she was very surprised to see him already at home.Alexa ran straight over and hugged Georg

    Liam felt like it had been more than two hours, but he hesitated to wake George, especially since his boss looked like he was sleeping soundly, exhausted as he was.“I’d better wait until the commander wakes up on his own,” Liam muttered, scratching his head even though it wasn’t itchy.George opened his eyes. He looked at Liam with a faint smile. “You were hesitant to wake me up? Even though I’ve told you, for now, consider me a friend, not your boss.”George felt much better, even though he hadn’t completely shaken off his fatigue.He’d had more than enough rest. It was time to get back to the fight; many citizens were counting on him, and were confident that he and his team could resolve their problems.“Even though you said that, I’m still hesitant and can’t bring myself to wake you up. Your fatigue only increased because you helped me find food. You walked all the way from that forest just to come back and see me,” Liam replied with a sad expression.“Don’t worry about it. No mat
