“What the hell is that all about?” Reed asked in confusion the moment he heard the message. However, Selena did not know whether now was the time to let him know what exactly was going on.

It turned out that in the past, as a means of making money, Cornell was involved in a money laundering scheme that centered on lost wealthy young adults.

“I don't know how to tell you this but what I am about to show you is what has been going on in the basement of the factory, sir,” Selena replied while he furrowed his brows at her, standing more confused.

The last time he checked, factories have no business with anything that was relating to basements.

What the hell did Cornell cook down there?

Only then did he nod his head while the woman hesitated for a while before she took him towards a dark path in THE factory.

A minute later, they were on a stuffy staircase which led to the same basement she was talking about. Then, the sound of a young lad filled his ears the moment they stopped at a do

    However, the ladies suddenly became furious when it felt as though the man didn't want to give them a chance to meet with the owner of the car. Only then did one of the ladies move towards him and hit him at the right side of Reed's face leaving him in shock. At once, energy shifted within him, wanting him to react. “What was that for?” He asked in anger. Wasn't he the one who was supposed to be angry for bashing someone else's car all because of their naivety?“That for? Listen, you're just an ex convict! You are not even allowed to live in our midst but for the sake of your brother, we are giving you a chance to. Don't you think you are higher than us just because a wealthy man is in your house!” She said furiously. Still, Reed was trying to understand where they were coming from as he sneered at them. His patience had a limit and yet, he could not lay his hands on women but he could teach them a lesson they would forget in a hurry. “How dare you lay your hands on me?” Reed aske

    However, the man was shocked to see that he could not wriggle his hands freely with Reed who held his hand tightly like a god. What sort of power was this? “Let me go, you idiot!” He screamed at Reed in anger and continued, “If you're doing this just because you want some kind of favour from me, you will not see it!”“Apologize!” Reed said again, this time more coldly while his face became filled with terror which terrified the man but didn't want to show it. After all, why should a poor man intimidate him?He may not have a lot of money like the wealthiest man in the city but he was very comfortable enough to put people like Reed in his place.“What difference will it make? Huh? It won't make him get richer because he's poor. You think this will help him? You're just a fool… Ha!” The man suddenly stopped and screamed out in shock that terrified the passerby. However, they could not understand what was going on. Reed had kicked him so hard that he became weak in pain and fell on hi

    At once, both the man and the young boy were arrested while the man burst into laughter. Then, a smirk appeared at the corner of his lips as he whispered into his ears while he was being handcuffed, “Don't worry, you made a great mistake by calling the cops on us. It won't take a while before the boss has us freed and by then, I will come back for you!” Three years ago, those words would have scared Reed. Now, those words seemed like empty threats because he wasn't sure he had met anyone who could just bring him down. “Good luck in doing that while I find out who your boss is” He said and entered the car. Why did it seem like he had seen that ring from someone that he knew? Why did it trouble him so much? He could not help but think as he brought out his own old ring from his pocket and stared at it. For some reason, it seemed to have a kind of resemblance just like the one he had seen earlier but his was different. It was dragon shaped while that man's own was ju

    At that moment, Reed didn't know how to pacify the woman that seemed broken. The last time he did that, Sharon told him he could do better. “I'll come to the party.” He replied instead while she looked at him in confusion. Only then did she smile, overlooking his mistake. Then, Reed walked towards the car he parked at the other side of the road while she watched him in bewilderment. He even had a car? He looked like someone that had none!What magnitude of man is this? Audrey wondered as she watched him drive away. That moment, Reed tried to contact Selena again but it felt as though her network was unstable. Just as he took his eyes off the road and was about to dial her contact again, his car stopped abruptly while he gasped in shock. He almost had an accident! What the hell just happened and why did the car stop halfway? He thought again, calming his nerves. Only then did a desperate cry fill his ears and almost immediately, he walked out of the car to see that he almost ran

    “Is that all you've got?” Reed asked him again with a sullen gaze, feeling sorry for them. They must have wasted their time trying to get him broken into pieces. However, Reed felt like he was just getting started. “The game is just starting to be fun. Are you now ready to back off?” He said out of boredom as she cracked his neck. Only then did Audrey look at her father. She couldn't believe that the man was stronger than she thought. He hit Dawson’s guard without having a scratch on his body even while he still had her fingers locked! How marvelous!“How dare you? This is pure voodoo! And you know how illegal that is. If not, how can someone like him act all high and mighty?”“Did I? You clearly stepped on my toes and you think I'll let it go?” Reed asked coldly. Somehow, those words ran through their veins. “Surely, he used Voodoo!” Voodoo was an illegal charm some people in the city learnt from the eastern territory. However, when they realized the chaos it caused a few yea

    Everyone looked at her in disbelief. It was one thing to get married to someone and it was another thing to know who it truly was. And now, they were beyond disgusted to see that it was Reed! Why would a wealthy lady be interested in someone like him? They all wondered. However, Richard did not seem like he could take it anymore. No matter how much he thought about it, she was delusional!How could she call this man classy? Does this mean that he is below Reed? That was the most embarrassing disgust he ever heard!No one has ever insulted him in that manner!Reed however was beyond shock when he heard that. He could not believe that this lady had used him as leverage. However, he was willing to play along. Then, he had Audrey's fingers interlocked with his.“Darling, I really wish you didn't tell them anything because they do not deserve it. I mean, he's all lovey-dovey but what do I do? I can't share you with any man unless you're willing to break my heart” Reed said slowly, loo
