“You can leave now!” Reed said curtly the moment he has his gaze fixed on the man who seemed to be enjoying an evening wine with his phone fixed on his left ear as if that was all that mattered.

“Mr Reed, I don't know what difference you may have with Mr Cornell but I think you should give up now. This man is not someone you dare to mess with.

If you dare to try anything, he can kill you. A lot of guards surround him” Selena continued, her voice husky that he may hurt the gentleman she had come to admire cause of his simplicity.

At once, Reed could sense the brokenness laced in her voice. She had once been crushed.

Then, he held her hands and closed his eyes, travelling into her current mind while he hoped that she would not have to think about something else that could disrupt the whole process or have her hands jerked off from him.

Innermost whispers.

Then, he saw what Cornell did to her. A cold gaze appeared at the corner of his face. Turned out he must have hurt a lot of people than he imagined.

“I want you to know that man is just a fly in my presence.” Reed continued.

However, Cornell who had stayed long on a conversation while he had a sip of alcohol in his hands suddenly glanced at a distance and a woman walked out.

At first, Reed would never have believed that it was his ex who looked stunning over the period of years he hadn't seen her. However, he knew there was nothing money could not do.

A while later, he discovered that the woman was not Sharon. Only then did a scoff appear at the corner of his lips.

The man was actually cheating on her!

So much for choosing a loser over him.

“Oh, no one knows but that's the daughter of the prime minister of the country. Rumors has it that he wants to divorce his current wife to be with her because of power and status.

He gave up half of his wife's promised asset to acquire more fame forr himself also just to please her!”

Do you see more reasons I do not want you to go near Mr Cornell? He's dangerous!” She exclaimed.

The prime minister’s daughter? It was rumoured that she was nothing but a slut who would do everything possible to have whatever she wanted because of the acquired wealth of the citizen they managed.

Now, she went to be with Cornell?

Life really could be funny at times. Reed thought with a sinister gaze.

However, Reed looked at her intently that made her seem uncomfortable.

If only this woman knew that she had to watch out for other things than a very useless man.

“Do you like what he did to you?” He asked her. Confusion hit her immediately as she looked at him. For some reason, he seemed extremely strange.

“What?”

“Leave. I don't want you to get hurt” Reed said again. At least, she was the only sane person who had attended to him so well. The least he could do for her is to make sure that she gets back safe while she torments that man who thought that enjoyment would last forever.

“Huh? I can't….” Selena said in a panic. As a top security officer, she knew it was just a snap of finger that was needed for security personnel to get across them.

Apart from that, standby security officers were around also. A lot of secret hidden cameras were planted just in case anything went wrong.

“You will definitely lose your life. Don't you get it? I… I can't attract him. Just leave while you can”

Reed exhaled out and shook his head.

Only then did he grab her walkie-talkie and snapped his fingers. Immediately, it went off.

Selena hurriedly had it turned on in shock to see that nothing worked.

“What… did you just do?” She asked, her voice filled with tremor.

“Enough proof to make you know that he can do nothing to me. I'm a man of few words. Now, lead the way!” Reed said firmly, his teeth clanking.

Selena's shock tripped as she walked towards the man who embraced Beauty, the minister’s daughter.

“Sir!” She called out in a deep, baritone voice that was sensed to Reed that he actually did hated the man that made her life so miserable.

“Haven't I told you I do not want to be disturbed on occasions like this?”

Cornell asked, his back still turned against both of them while Reed scoffed again.

It was their anniversary moment and he was shameless enough to be with another woman.

When he chased after his ex, she must have thought she won a trophy by buying her way to the top. A man who can't keep his groin in a place would chase everything possible to acquire more wealth illegally than he could ever manage.

“I'm sorry, sir. You have a visitor”

Only then did Beauty turn around to see who the visitor was. Immediately, a frightened plus irritated look because visible on her face.

“Yuck! Who the hell are you? Who the hell did you bring to this place? Are you out of your senses, Selena?” The woman yelled out.

Only then did Cornell became attracted to her fanthom as he turned around to see a homeless looking man stare at him coldly as if he was around to kill him.

At first, a cold shiver ran down his spine. However, when he realized he had no reason to be scared all because of the numerous guards he had, he calmed down a bit.

“Who the hell is this gigolo?” Cornell asked plainly.

“I am sorry, sir. He claimed to see you and….”

“Do you bring everyone that wants to see my boyfriend to this place? What the hell is wrong with you?

With just a snap, I can fire you and…”

“Do you remember who I am, Cornell? I should strike a bell now!” Reed said in the most coldest voice ever that could send one off guards.

    Seventeen hours later~“Quick! Move the safe into the booth!” Mario screamed out in an order as he watched his subordinates did as he asked but it still seemed as if it was not enough. Suddenly, it felt as if someone was watching him but no matter how much he turned, he did not seem to see anyone. “My imaginations… that sick, strange man doesn't even know where I work. All he does it bluff!” He said with a sneer as he hurriedly went ahead to help his workers pack the loads since it felt as if they were wasting so much time. Inside his exquisite workplace were expensive furnitures and materials that he didn't want to leave behind and so, he'd ordered that every single piece of items including the slightest pin be moved. As for the building, he'd made sure to have it sold the previous night which wasn't difficult for him since most people wanted his space which was situated at the outskirts of the city. “How about this, sir? We can't take it along” Fabian asked, holding a piece of i

    “Wait, what?” Mario asked in shock. He couldn't believe his ears. This wasn't the perfect ending he was expecting.What then should happen to the billion dollars he managed to swoop off the rich folks that adored him?What about his attires he usually maintained with that money? His assets? His numerous girlfriends? The people that he used money to oppress?How would he explain to everyone that he became a poor man just within a twinkle of an eye? All this is just because he is a follower of a strange man people would not even believe? Why on earth did he show himself to such a man? “Yes. That's my final decision” Reed replied him curtly with a cold smile that sent a shiver down his spine. “But…. It's what I've gathered all these while. My sweat and..““Do I need to remind you that you cheated a lot of people to get attain that position you are right now? How about I start with that?”A cold sweat formed at the corner of Mario's right face as his hands trembled. He knew what would

    “Your boss?” Fabian asked with a stutter as he looked at Reed. It was that moment he realized how extremely bad he just made the situation become. “Yes, you idiot! And don't you ever refer to him as an ordinary person or else, you will cease to be my assistant!” But how could someone like this man be his boss? Didn't he know how embarrassing this situation seemed?Fabian asked. Then, he watched his boss’s lips curve into a light smile as he focused on the man. Something he hadn't don't to him for years. “Sir… do you know me?” He asked again. “I know who you are. You work directly for the gang Ruckus that go about stealing from people. I thought I told him and his gangs to stop but they didn't. Now, I wonder how exactly I should punish you for scamming people”A cold shiver ran down Mario's spine the moment he heard that. Why would their boss Ruckus rat them out? Had he perphas made a mistake by making himself known to their real boss?He thought as he cleared his throat and looked

    Almost immediately, a thought ocuured to Fabian. If these silly people he called guards could not defeat Reed, he would call his boss who would definitely show up with about fifty million squads. Then, Fabian turned around. His heart skipped multiple beats at once when he realized that people were staring at him. He knew that if he did not hurriedly defeat this man, words would go to many places that he had probably lost his sense of reasoning and could not stand a pauper!At once, he dialled his bosss’ contact with mixed reactions. He knew his boss would tell and tackle him because he was not able to get a man below his status down. At least, that was better than there people who held him in high esteem judge him!“Hello, Sir Mario!” Sir Mario? That sounded very familiar! Reed thought as he took a closer glance on the Ruby as if he had not seen it before. However, he was only trying to check if it was not contaminated during the process of snatching it from him by Fabian. Intentio

    “He better be taught a lesson that this isn't a calibre of his people!” Anna replied with contempt. At the other end of the hall was Reed. Within him, he was being calculative. He knew that these people could not stand a chance with him when it came to power. However, something bothered him. Among the men they sent over to fight him was a particularl man he was not sure he could contend with in power because he did not have the inner depth energy to fight him because of how drained he was. In one of the teachings of Xavier, he'd warned him never to fight off people he was not sure because it not only would drain him, it could take so long before he got his powers restored back. Then, Reed smiled coldly at the thought of something. His fingers fisted almost immediately. If he could not fight him with his energy, he definitely could manipulate his mind using the Quarter’s energy. At once, he completely compelled his mind under a special spell using his eyes while the man he thought

    “How did I not see the beauty in this?” A cold stern looking man asked as he observed the natural ruby. For a start, he was known as Fabian- the greatest naturalist’s assistant. They went about gathering a lot of natural valuables and craft them into something else- more like fake to sell to rich people. However, they were too naive to understand that whatever he and his boss sold were just not original and hence, they took the original ones to themselves. On seeing the treasure in Reed's hands, he could not help but want it. At first, he'd called the person who auctioned the natural ruby. However, the man claimed to have sold the last piece to the bidder earlier who turned out to be Reed. Hence, he could not let go of it. Fabian was sure that if he brought the ruby to his boss, there would be great reward for him. After all, he and his boss did not seem to be on good terms for a while now because they had internal issues. “Boy, let me have this. I will pay you a million dollars”
