“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.

    Half a minute later, Selena was about to fall to her knees when the man hurriedly caught her, supporting her weight as he looked deeply into her eyes.At that moment, a strange sensation surged through the room. Reed’s healing energy suddenly surged within him, swelling uncontrollably, on the verge of exploding.Realizing how dangerous that could be for Selena, he tried to suppress it. This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. He recalled a similar incident with one of the inmates in prison, a woman who dared to test whether he truly was the demon people claimed him to be.But she made the greatest mistake of her life when she touched him at the peak of his energy.Back then, his inner energy had been so unstable that he could barely contain it without Master Xavier’s help.The moment she touched him in the cafeteria, fire had erupted from his body. She was almost burned alive, left with a terrible scar. Only afterward did the old hag explain to Reed the importance

    Realising that would make his brother stop asking him numerous questions about his source of money, Reed stood up, intending to play along as much as Selena wanted. “I'm sorry for my brother's attitude. It's obvious that he doesn't know what he's supposed to do. However, I hope you will treat him right!” Vincent said with a bright smile completely smitten by her beauty while Selena nodded with a light chuckle. To her, it felt nice that she was meeting with her boss's family. “Do not mind our house structure. I know it's not what you expect and…”“It's fine…” “I…”However, just as his brother was about to ask more questions, Reed hurriedly grabbed her hands and continued, “She would like to leave now…”“But we haven't offered her anything yet…’Yet, Reed was gone. The moment they stepped outside, he tucked his hands into his pocket and stared at her. For some reason, it felt as though she was being judged for what she had done. Not knowing whether she had offended him or not, she

    “Reed, tell me the truth. I am your brother and I promise you that I will not judge you! Are you into money cultism?” Vincent exclaimed in fear. He knew the implications of being into money cultism. The end of it was not always the best and in fact, the cult society would get more than they bargained from them. “What? No! That's not true. My money is decent!” Reed continued, wondering how else to convince his brother. However, he understood his point of view. They grew up in poverty that such amount of money he promised his brother seemed too good to be true. In fact, it was a dream!No one would offer him that kind of money especially since he just got out of jail. “I want you to believe me because I will never tell lies to you!” Reed said again, his gaze softening. “That's not true. We both know that no one in our family has ever been successful. We've always been managing our resources…”“That's…” Reed said and stopped abruptly wondering how else to let his brother understand

    “I have a better hair shave in my car, sir. How about I give you a nice haircut while you lean on me? That can soothe you also” Selena suggested as they walked out of the car, hoping that he would give her a positive response with a smile laced at the corner of her face. The man stared into space for a while before he nodded his head in approval. Maybe it wasn't really bad for the next day's meeting.Now that he thought about it, he wondered if the people he met there three years ago were still the same people that worked there. “Did you meet the people that used to work for my father when you went there?”However, she shook her head. “I was able to get this somehow forged. But while I was still under Cornell, I overheard him telling a friend that he made sure to send your father's employees to jail because they defyed him.”“The only people you may see are those that are scared to talk against him and the people that he employed directly, sir” “Get ready, you will come with me t

    “Take your hands off me, you idiot!” The man screamed out in excruciating pain! However, Reed tightened his hands again, causing no space! On seeing that Reed had probably gotten stronger since he must have learnt a lot of skills after going to jail, he swallowed his pride and closed his eyes. “I'm sorry.. let me go!” He managed to say while Selena looked at her boss. Judging from the cold look laced on his face, it did not seem like he would let him go anytime soon. “I'm not the right person to beg!” Reed replied sharply, not letting go of his hands while the man screamed out. At this rate, he was definitely sure that his hands would either break or he would never be able to use it again. “What… Ah!” The man yelled again. To the other people, it seemed as though he held his hand like a layman. Why then was he screaming like a fool?Was that… a look of fear on the oldie's face? They all thought in bewilderment. Back in the days, the oldie used to tell a lot of stories of how he us

  • Chapter 53 - Floral spa

    Floral spa! Those words were on Reed's lips as he stared at the place Selena had brought him to.It seemed local just like the one provided for them in jail. Old posters were pasted on the walls of the building that seemed like it was set for demolition. For a while, there was stunned silence while the smile on Selena's face faded. Had her boss perhaps not taken a special liking to this that he wished to turn around and leave? She thought, her mind disoriented. Only then did Reed nod. “Do you like the place, sir?”“I don't have the best response for that” He replied with a blank expression. “Tomorrow, the workers of your father's business shop want to meet you. Actually, not directly because I did not let them know that you would be coming, sir”That again impressed Reed. A while ago, he did not realize that he would be attending a meeting. “And?”Then, Selena flashed a smile as she continued, “You should meet them. Cornell have constantly abused them for a very long time and
