Silence enveloped the entire living room, only the heavy panting sounds coming from the servant could be heard across the living room. Matt was taken aback momentarily, he suddenly spoke, breaking the silence with panick evident in his tone. “What did you just say?!”

But as the head of the Jones family, he feigned a composed demeanor in front of all his guests as he demanded with a hoarse voice, “Did you just say that members of the Golden Dragon Group are here? What do they want?”

“Perhaps they came to celebrate your birthday with you?” Beatrice suggested ignorantly. Megan quickly agreed with her mother's suggestion with a series of short nods.

However, there was simply no way that the members of the Golden Dragon Group would actually bother themselves with someone as insignificant as Matt Jones, the head of the Jones family. In fact, a backwater family such as the Jones family were of no interest to them.

That's was why, everyone else inside the living room were left stunned beyond

    Towering before Nolan, stood an enormous, intricate, and magnificent building. The Grand Supreme Manor is the pride of Aurora city. Only those few powerful families, influential businessmen, high-ranking government officials, famous lawyers, and bankers—all being members of the upper echelons of the society—were capable of hosting an event in the Grand Supreme Manor.Nolan stepped into the reception area. Inside the reception area, there was a crowd of guests sporting luxurious suits and formal dresses, and mingling eloquently with one another.A lot of influential figures, famous celebrities, business tycoons, government officials and so on, were present inside the reception area, patiently waiting for the commencement of the grand banquet. More people were streaming into the foyer, while others were still yet to arrive to the venue.The servers sporting white sleeved shirt, black pants, and a bow tie to help distinguish guests from employees, served the guests with several refreshm

    Meanwhile, Nolan quietly leaned over on a luxurious car. He was now donned in a white sleeved shirt. Nolan silently analyzed what had happened to him and Jessica. The five men had proven to be highly skilled professionals in disguise and deceit. Nolan analyzed his actions and pondered if he'd did the right thing.He'd have prevented this entire incident from escalating and becoming this intense, if only he'd taken actions prior to when he'd found out that the taxi driver was acting suspicious. However, he refrained from doing anything, trusting in his judgement.Nolan would've also been able to stop them when they arrived in front of the abandoned factory building, where the group had parked their Jeep. But, he also didn't want to expose himself too soon, hoping not to alert the other perpetrators that had instigated the abduction.What had it caused him?Jessica had almost died because of his judgement to exercise cautious. She was also almost being defied by those bastards. He knew

    Stan being in a state of reprieve—having been on the receiving side of Nolan's devastating punches—he was very cautious with his words, so as not to offend this extraordinary figure with a mysterious identity, crouching beside him.Previously, before the clash with Nolan, Stan had deduced three hypothesis regarding underlining mysteries behind Nolan's true identity.Firstly, he theorized that Nolan was also from an opposition faction as powerful as theirs, aiming to target their Black Serpent organization's core members, using Jessica as bait to lure them out. However, after facing off with Nolan, he ruled out this possiblity simply because Nolan was just too powerful to be a member of some random secret organization. Based on his rough calculation, he estimated that Nolan should be as powerful as their boss.The second hypothesis stemmed from Nolan's close relationship with Jessica. Stan had deduced that Nolan might actually be a skilled professional mercenary hired by Jessica's fami

    With a halt, the footsteps seized, driving the interior of the abandoned factory building into a state of profound silence.The figure peered his gaze forward and around him, taking in the sight of his wounded, broken, and battered subordinates lying hopelessly on the cold concrete floor and covered in their own blood. Their faces swollen and purple.A quiet sigh escaped from his lips as he shook his head dismissively. He averted his gaze from his subordinates, and shifted the focus of his attention towards Nolan, who was crouched on the ground beside the unconscious beautiful woman. He was shirtless—revealing his well-groomed upper body.“To be able to take down all four of our highly skilled subordinates? You're definitely not an ordinary pauper, right?” Stan's deep voice reverberated inside the dimly lit interior of the abandoned factory building. A cold luster of pure killing intent flashed within his gazes.“So tell me? Who exactly are you?” He eyed Nolan with a hostile glare. Hi

    Inside the abandoned factory building!Nolan arrived inside the abandoned factory building just in time to witness Ben strangling Jessica with his bare hands. The thug seemed to have completely losed it, determined to end her miserable life short. His eyes consumed with frenzy, his face contorted into a deep frown of disgust.The former taxi driver had an ugly look of panick and disappointment etched on his face. One would wonder why he felt disappointed? It was because Ben didn't allow him have a taste of the beautiful woman's plump and gorgeous body, before immediately trying to kill her.But at some point in time, the look of disappointment etched on his face gradually disappeared, replaced with a look of excitement and anticipation.‘What does it matter if she's breathing or not? Ah, I'm already very excited seeing her like this right now.’ The former taxi driver giggled softly as he said. His long tongue licking his dry lips, and a sinister grin plastered across his lips, making

    The battered thug scrutinized Nolan for some seconds before adding, “Although, we portray as a mere street gang on the surface, but underneath we're more like a secret organization carrying out the dirty works for the powerful families gathered here in Aurora city.” The thug said proudly. His indication was very clear as day! Nolan shouldn't mess with them. And, that their secret organization possessed backings from wealthy and influential families, as well as the fact that they possessed quite a few powerhouses within the ranks of the secret organization.‘They know about the ranking system?’ Nolan was taken aback for a second, however, he didn't delve too deep into the thought. ‘You’re quiet a talkative for someone who's in such a dire state. Have you always been this way?’ Nolan lampooned inwardly, a wide smile spread across his lips.“Why did you abduct me and my friend?” Nolan spoke with an inquiring tone.“Heh! Who cares about a nobody like you? We were only after the pretty
