Chapter 31: Wrong Capture
The black SUV rolled over. A few minutes later, a figure was seen trying to crawl out of the car. "You bastards. They have guns!" Bruce took a breath and sat down on the paddy field. He almost peed his pants. Fortunately, he had good reflexes and kicked the car's steering wheel so that it lost control and plunged into the rice field. Otherwise, his life would have been in danger if a shootout had been in such a narrow place. "Who... are you?" A weak voice came from the right side of the car. Bruce stood up, despite feeling like he had no energy, and vigilantly looked toward the sound. The man's upper body in sunglasses was outside the car, but his lower body was crushed under the car door. The man was lying on the ground in an unusual position, but he still had some breath left. He vomited blood from his mouth and looked at Bruce. "Damn, that looks painful." Even one Bruce could not bear to look at the man's state. However, for safety's sake, he still approached the car and looke
Chapter 32: Interrogation
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!Bruce smiled while clapping his hands. The man chuckled, "Wow! You have a very creative idea. Too bad you're not a fiction writer. That imagination of yours seems to be a talent!""Stop that nonsense. I suggest that you be honest from now on."Sarah jumped down from the table and walked over to Bruce. When she was close enough, she lifted her right leg and placed it on Bruce's chair. Her foot landed right between Bruce's legs."Damn! Are you crazy?" said Bruce as he eyed the woman's stocking-clad legs with black high heels.As tempting as the situation was, it was a matter of life and death. The woman's foot landed very close to his private area. Bruce would have to say goodbye to fatherhood if there was any miscalculation."If you don't tell me the truth, I'll show you what madness is." Sarah leaned over and looked into Bruce's eyes like a predator hunting its prey.Bruce knew something was wrong. He thought that ev
Chapter 33: Self-Redemption
Sarah held back her anger before saying in a low voice, "Answer the phone. Remember, read my lips." "You just ate garlic, so your mouth smells. I don't want to look at your lips." Hearing that, Sarah wanted to punch him. Although Sarah had eaten garlic earlier, she had already brushed her teeth. Even so, when she saw Bruce pick up the phone, she held back her annoyance. "Hello." When Bruce answered the phone, his tone was much calmer. "Hi, I'm Sarah's mum. I hope she's not troubling you," an elderly woman's voice came from the other end of the line. "Troublesome? Of course, it is. Mrs Johnson, you have no idea how greedy she is. Stop! Sarah, why are you eating my food again?" Sarah's face paled, and she thought, "This lad did not act as promised. It's all over now. Mum and Dad will see me. My free life is coming to an end." Hesitantly, Sarah's mum replied, "Oh my God. I always remind her to behave herself, but she never listens
Chapter 34: House of Jasmine
"Wayne Jennings, CEO of House of Jasmine!" Bruce repeated to himself.Then, he fixed his eyes on the man exuding an aura of superiority before him. On closer inspection, he saw a hint of fatigue on the man's face. However, that tiredness was well hidden."Looks like you're not too surprised to see me." Wayne was surprised at how calm Bruce was. There was only a slight change in Bruce's gaze when he revealed his identity.Most people would be happy to meet him, but the young man in front of him was not even 20 years old and reacted casually."If I'm being honest, I'm a bit surprised. I didn't expect the daughter of the famous House of Jasmine to be kidnapped as well," Bruce replied with a grin.Bruce was indeed surprised. Previously, he only knew that the woman's name was Claudia Jennings. Bruce discovered from the description that the kidnappers mentioned that the woman was from a prominent family. However, he never imagined that the woman was the daughter of the famous House of Jasmi
Chapter 35: The Fortune Teller
The next day, a sumptuous breakfast was served on the table at the Jennings mansion. However, it failed to whet Wayne's appetite. His face was pale, and his eye bags were visible."Tell me, Noah." He glanced at his bodyguard carefully.It was not that Wayne did not trust Noah, who had worked for him for over ten years. After all, Noah was the only person he trusted.However, Wayne recalled the events of last night, his tumbling down the stairs and knocking over the glass, and everything else that happened next felt so odd.As Wayne was sorting through the documents, his mind was so distracted that he almost deleted an important file, thankfully stopped by Noah.When Wayne couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and headed to the balcony to daydream, a wasp suddenly attacked him, and Noah arrived in time to kill the insect with a single swipe.Having not slept all night, Wayne tripped over the doorstep as he was about to go downstairs. Coin
Chapter 36: The Offer of a Bodyguard
Bruce's eyes glazed over at the offer of $150,000. His throat tightened, but he managed to keep his cool. He was like a psychic now. Therefore, he should not be swayed by worldly materials like money.Bruce asked, "What do you want from me, Mr Jennings? Tell me, and we'll see what I can do for you."Wayne immediately spoke at length about his daughter, Claudia Jennings. He wanted Bruce to protect his daughter after he learnt of Bruce's extraordinary talent and mystical powers.The $150,000 was just a down payment. Wayne promised to pay another $400,000 after three months."Is this an offer as a bodyguard?" Bruce surmised.Bruce was confused and asked Wayne, "Mr Jennings, wouldn't it be easier to hire a more capable bodyguard with the power and reach of the House of Jasmine?"Wayne's expression turned sour as he sighed. "My daughter and I are now at odds. She does not live at home and has removed every bodyguard I assigned to her. Although she escaped safely this time, she may not be s
Chapter 37: Giving Money Away
When she realised Bruce was back, Yael hurriedly straightened her clothes and gave him a threatening look. "Why did you come back so early, you little shit?"Perhaps, both were upset that Bruce had interrupted their passionate moment.Bruce just glanced without saying a word. He headed for the room and started packing. Meanwhile, he overheard the conversation going on in the living room."Who is that boy, dear?" The man spoke in a disdainful tone."Only distant relatives live with us. He's a loser." Yael's tone sounded dismissive, but there was also a teasing tone in her voice.Of course, Bruce knew that the seductive voice was for the man."Loser, huh? Why would you let a loser live with you?" the man asked."I couldn't refuse. That loser's mother died and gave us some money so we could take care of him. That's fine—no need to talk about these unpleasant things. Let's go to the hotel. Why did you come to my house, bad boy? We a
Chapter 38: New Place
Yael trembled when she saw Bruce walking down the stairs with his suitcase."Erm... come back when you're free, Bruce."After Yael closed the door, someone immediately hugged her from behind."Is he stupid? How could he waste 44,000 dollars?""You're the stupid one," Yael replied as she pushed the man away."Okay, I'm the stupid one. I'm the stupidest person ever." Harry smiled as he threw his body onto the sofa. He momentarily looked at Yolanda's door and said, "Well, since the lad has gone and handed you the money, let's go to the bank as soon as possible to settle this matter. After that, I'll move here.""You're right; that money issue must be resolved soon, but moving here is bad. As you know, Yolanda knows about us and even had a big fight with me about it."***Bruce was sitting in the car. He saw the scenery outside passing him by. At that moment, Bruce felt empty but also at peace."Bruce, you gave all the money
Chapter 39: The First Test
"It's strange. I just moved in. Why would someone want to check the water meter?" Bruce was still wrapped in a towel; he walked towards the door. A fist flew into his face as soon as he opened the door.Bruce quickly shifted to the side to avoid the attack. At the same time, Bruce closed the door with a bang and wedged the man's hand between the door's crack."Ah!" A man's shout came from outside the door. Then, a strong push hit the door.Bruce didn't have time to think, so he quickly took a few steps back. By then, the door had already been broken down by several people.The man who attacked Bruce earlier was now holding his hand. He grimaced while leaning against the wall.There were five to six men next to him, all wearing black leather jackets and black masks to cover their faces."Were these people sent by the Waylen family?" Bruce wondered. He frowned and immediately attacked them.Due to his experience with armed enemies, Bruc
Chapter 40: Misunderstandings
"Fuck you, Bruce!" screeched Sarah.Although Bruce was originally going to defend himself, he fled to his apartment when he saw Sarah running towards him with her fists clenched in anger. Once Bruce arrived, he quickly grabbed a chair and hooked it to the door so they couldn't open it.Then, the sound of heavy blows roared from behind the door, followed by the sound of someone kicking the door hard."Get out, Bruce! I'll kill you!" screamed Sarah.Bruce gulped and walked backwards away from the door. He knew that Sarah would kill him. True to her personality and temperament, she was an impulsive woman, and that trait made her do things that she would regret later."Your guts are big enough to remove your clothes, so open this door. You dare to enter someone else's house carelessly, so get out."Stop hiding like a coward! I know you're inside. Open up! Open now!" roared Sarah.Bruce had already finished changing his clothes when Sarah screamed at the door. He leaned against the door an
