All eyes darted towards the homeless looking man who looked at them with eyes full of disdain while he took long strides towards them stilled.
At first, the robbers were shocked that someone like him could dare to interfere in their business. No one dared to interrupt and they must also wait until they were done with their business before everyone could leave. Then, it turned to a sneer. The young lady feared that this homeless man could make things go worse as she signalled for him to leave in a panic so she could take care of them. However, he pretended as if he did not hear that as he tucked his hand in his ripped out jeans. “Let this woman go,” Reed said calmly, as if none of what was going on mattered to him. However, the leader got infuriated as he pointed his gun at him with a loud glare that threatened to scare off the next vehicle and the next who had seen what was going on in fear. “Who the hell do you think you are, huh?” He asked. Just as he was about to pull the trigger while Reed watched the man calmly without saying anything, Joanna thought of how things would get messed up as she hurriedly closed her eyes silently hoping that her uncle would be fine as she said loudly, “Fine, get intimate with me but please let that man go” Tears streamed her cheeks when the words popped out as her heart raced painly. Only then did Reed shake his head as he jabbed his fingers collectively, controlling the robber's joint and locked his muscles without moving an inch. The atmosphere suddenly became a bit windy. A loud scream erupted from his lips as the gun he held suddenly became too heavy for him to hold. At once, Joanna's eyes widened while the man fell on his knees. “What's going on?” She muttered while Reed said nothing as he turned around. However, just as he was about to take a step, leaving everyone in shock at what he had done, the other five robbers pulled the trigger almost immediately. Boom, without turning around, he held each bullet with a snap of his fingers until there were no more bullets left in their guns. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets leaving them in awe of what happened. “What magnitude of man is this?” They all stood, shocked. For three years, they had made sure to dominate the entire city, making the major road their target because it was considered a private road for the wealthy, leaving people in distress. Does this mean that it has finally come to an end? The people in the cars thought. At once, Reed released the bullets, making sure it hit each of those who pulled the trigger. Immediately, their bodies became filled with blood the moment it pierced their bones, leaving them in a world of groans. Never would they be able to use such bodies to play dirty games with the people nor will they be able to lift guns with their fingers. “Now, you can't even get intimate with the young lady” He muttered which shocked Joanna to her bones as she stood, dazed. She could not believe that this was someone she had tried to save earlier whereas he just saved her. A Scion she looked down on! No one had ever gone out of their way to save her. She'd thought this would be the end of her- losing her dignity in the presence of the people that respected her prestigious family! “Thank you for saving me. I'm glad… I can't wait anymore. I would have given you something in return but I have to leave now.” She said and turned around to leave, hoping that her uncle would be fine since she had gotten out of the mess they found themselves when he continued, “Even if you leave now, that man in the car will die because it will be too late” At once, Joanna stopped right in her tracks, overwhelmed in extreme shock. How did he know that there was someone in the car? Only her and the bodyguard knew because the glass windows were tinted. Was he sort of a god? She thought, her mind racing. Oh! It must have probably been that he found out while she was being threatened to be raped earlier. He must have popped into the window since it was slightly opened - the same way her uncle would have loved it. “Listen, I appreciate you saving me but there's a limit to what you can do. Right now, the world renowned best doctors have all flown in and are all waiting for us. If you're doing this just because you want to see more of me, I understand. Now is not the time for that. After all, a lot of people are dying to see me in real life” “Very arrogant woman.” Reed thought and was about to leave when he heard the middle aged man's cry of plea to be saved all because he was in extreme pain from the middle part of his body downwards. He stopped right in his tracks and turned towards the car coldly. He wasn't sure if the man was worth it because clearly, his arrogant niece was not even worth saving. Then, he turned towards the car and was about to have it opened when she yelled out. “What do you think you are doing, Huh? My uncle respects his privacy so much!” Oh! A bunch of arrogant idiots! He thought about wanting to let go but he remembered that the old hag never taught him to be that arrogant. “Well, you have to choose between your uncle's privacy and let me save him because he has just five minutes to be saved or you go into that car, drive off while you think of having him buried because he clearly won't make it!” Reed said again, this time firmly. Immediately, the woman bit her lips, wanting to get him punished. No one had ever talked to her that rudely. However, she was still willing to let him go because of her uncle. “I don't care who you think you are but you are not a doctor!” She yelled back at him in frustration. Who the hell did he think he was? Just because he had saved her earlier made him seem like someone sort of a god? He'd saved her but he was just a useless man that didn't belong to her class and was not fit to speak to her informally. Such a silly prick! She thought with a lip-filled scorn. The moment she got into the car and was about to have the door closed while Reed watched, he stretched his fingers coldly and began to count, “At the count of 3, 2, 1!” Boom, the man muttered, “I don't think I will make it. Make sure you do good” Immediately, he shut his eyes tightly entering a state of cardiac arrest.

Chapter 58
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
Chapter 57
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
