I'll show you around and teach how things are conducted here. You will get familiar with how things work soon," The senior employee assigned to guiding them was a slightly middle-aged man with a distinct burn on his face.Levi wondered if that was how he got his name but he didn't say anything and simply nodded like the others."Yes sir."Mr Burns was pleased by their respectful attitude and turned around to lead them.Although he was a bit unsatisfied with the nerdy and quirky appearance of these new employees which showed their lack of fashion sense, their certificates were impressive."Usually, the CEO along with the heads of the HR department would welcome the new employees but our CEO seems to be busy with something important at the moment so he wouldn't be able to receive

With a fawning smile, he greeted them respectfully."Good day Mr Griffin," His eyes darted around the men as if trying to figure out who Mr Griffin was.The oldest man amongst the group stepped out. His black suit complemented his black hair perfectly.He reached forward and accepted Gregory's handshake without a smile.

163: I'll Teach You
Tap!Levi ducked as the plump woman from earlier appeared at the doorway. "Shit... Shit... Shit..." He whispered underneath his breath.Why didn't others alert him earlier? What happened to the reporter that was positioned at the door?Tap!Levi held his breath as the woman made a move into the room. His palms stuck upwards against the wood of the fine working desk. It was a bit cramped there but there was nowhere else he could think of.Besides, why didn't this plump woman make some sounds while walking considering her size?"Where did I drop it?" He could hear the impatience in her voice. It seemed like she was searching for something.That must have been the reason she returned. "It should be in the drawer."Levi heard her say and his eyes squinted slightly as he heard her footsteps come closer. He quickly sprinted around to the other side of the desk as she came to where he had been hiding before.She opened the drawer and picked out whatever she had been searching for before clos

Pow!Levi gave the guard a powerful punch in the jaw that sent him sprawling on the ground in pain. Reacting quickly, he bent to dodge a blow.Swish!Sam could feel the impact of the blow as the fist narrowly missed his face. His eyes widened in fear and he staggered backwards.Buck!Levi kicked the guard's knee causing him to drop to his knees in front of him painfully. He delivered another strike that knocked him out temporarily.He saw that Alex and others already took down the remaining guards. But as he watched some of the guards writhe on the ground in pain, he quickly saw one who was reaching out for his gun.Smack!He was one step ahead and slapped the gun completely away from the guard's reach. If he managed to use his gun, he might not injure any of them but alert others."It won't hurt so much," He said as he crouched. The guard was shaking in fear and wanted to get away but couldn't as he was in severe pain.Thud!He punched the guard's face. The man's eyes rolled backward

165: Inhumane
Levi didn't even know when he walked into the room nor did any of them hear the doors close behind them. His heart sank as they passed by the beds.His fingers tightened into fists by his side as his face turned pale and void. Some children were convulsing.Some were just staring into the space cluelessly. They had this listless look on their faces that would break even the most stoic heart.Some were paralyzed while others; probably the ones that had just been brought there were crying and calling for different names.The room was a mess and a scene of total terror. There were doctors around however keeping an eye on the IV and the children.One of them noticed the guards and called out, "Hey! What are you doing? Go out."His words were muffled because of the mask. However his voice snapped Levi and others to reality.Alex thought for a second that it was good Sam didn't accompany them. Someone with a frail and timid heart like him would probably go into a shock at this horrifying sc

167: Lincoln In Danger
The next day, Levi was all dressed casually and was about to leave the house when Diana also came out. He frowned slightly at the short dress she was wearing but didn't react to it."Where are you going?""Since my brother has decided to ditch me, I'm going to spend time with a friend. It's boring staying alone in this gigantic house.""Which friend? A female or a male?" He squinted at her and she shook her head helplessly.She poked his arm and spoke slowly, "Brother, do you know how much I've endured these years growing up with two older and overprotective brothers? My life has been a living hell. Don't join their collection.""Did you forget what happened the last time, Diana?" Levi didn't soften his stern look. "If you can't stay alone at home, come with me.""No, thank you. I'd rather stay at home than listen to boring business talks."Levi's eyes narrowed suspiciously. He felt like once he left the house, she was going to sneak off. Should he just drag her along?"Okay... Okay

168: He Won't Die
Bang!Bang!The guards acted quickly and shielded Levi. Luckily, they were wearing bulletproof vests underneath their suits. They also brought out their guns and fired back.Levi got Lincoln into the car safely. His arm which had gotten shot was bleeding so much. He tore off part of his cloth and tied it around the bleeding spot.Lincoln groaned in pain again. "I didn't... think... it... would... hurt... so... damn... much."Levi couldn't make out what he was saying. Before the chauffeur could say a word, he got out of the car again with a darkened gaze and snatched a gun from one of the guards.Bang!Bang!Bang!Although there was an unseen distance between him and the hidden shooters, he still shot accurately and did some damage."Sir, we should leave. Others will go after them and track them. The young master is bleeding," A guard informed him."He won't die," Levi's eyes were as cold as ice as he said this. But thinking of how much pain Lincoln must be in, he got a hold on his emo

169: Was It Gregory?
Levi spent time in the ward telling his father all that had happened while he was hospitalized though he kept some details out.The child-like expression on Thomas as he listened attentively and nodded sometimes caused Levi's chest to feel heavy but he kept going and hid his reaction."Father, you don't have to worry about anything. When you get out of this place, you will ride in those cars only ministers drove when I was younger and we'll live in a beautiful, gigantic house like you always wanted."Thomas' eyes widened with awe and he was even more cooperative with the nurse. He ate his food without causing a fuss and even took his medicines which were usually quite difficult for them to get him to use.Levi suppressed his sadness and smiled. "Good father... You just have to get well soon then you can leave this place grandly and live with me. I can afford to take care of you now."'I can also afford to repay all the sacrifices you made for me when I was younger,' Levi didn't utter

170: A Royal Descendant
Levi made a decision resolutely and watched quietly for some minutes as Lincoln ate his meal a little bit slower now.When he was done, the guards trashed the paper bags and Levi helped him up."I'll send you back to the hotel now. I have to deal with something important.""I thought we were going sightseeing," Lincoln frowned as they left the ward.Levi almost facepalmed. "After what happened, you still want to go sightseeing?"He couldn't tell if Lincoln was acting carefree or just being stupid."I told you that the attack wasn't meant for me. It was for you. Besides, although we have businesses here, they are all handled under fake aliases and managing directors so I can't think of anyone that'd want to target me upon my arrival here.""That's the point," Levi almost snapped as the elevator doors closed."You shouldn't have been here. The attack was for me but now they'll target you too. You shouldn't get roped into my personal matters."Lincoln wanted to say the assailants dared n
