The voice of Hunter Whiteridge chuckling could be heard. “Okay, you sound happier to hear from me than I expected you would be. It seems you have really taken this old man as your grandfather.”“Well, that's because you are.” Benjamin quickly replied with a ‘duh’ tone.If either Head Butler Lia Locks or Anthony Wood had been here to witness this, they would have been left shocked by the sudden switch in Benjamin's attitude. His demeanor has gone from this somewhat aloof young master to a child who has long grown fond of his paternal grandfather.“Good, I like that.” Even though others might find it weird that Benjamin was acting too familiar with Hunter Whiteridge, who he had just met not even up to two days ago, Hunter Whiteridge himself didn't find this weird at all.After finding Benjamin, Hunter had been incredibly worried if there would ever be enough time for him to foster a genuine bond with this long-lost grandson of his. He knew he had missed out on his childhood and teenage
At the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate,Hunter dropped the phone and stared into space for a couple of seconds before he suddenly burst into a hearty laughter, his chest shaking with every outlet.The head butler of the prime estate stared at his master with a bit of confusion.“Master Hunter, may I ask what's making you laugh right now?”“My grandson, who else?” Hunter sighed as he sat up straight in his seat. “Herbert, can you believe my grandson suddenly expressed his desire to come to visit me right after I told him how dangerous it could be to be caught by other members of the family?”“He did?” Herbert McKlin was surprised by this. “Young Master Benjamin is showing a lot of guts already.”“Exactly!” Hunter suddenly burst out with a loud tone. “Benjamin reminds me so much of my son right now.” There was a bit of a soon expression on the old man's face right as he recalled memories of his son. “Dallas was an exceptional heir.”Sherbet couldn't help the sad smile that appeared on
“Brody, why didn't you just tell us that you already made an appointment with the big boss?” The driver seemed a bit frustrated as he drove past the black gate.Brody smirked coldly. “Simple; it was fun watching you two almost shit yourself from assuming I would dare show up to the big boss's place unannounced.”The henchmen in the passenger seat let out a breath of relief as the car moved along the lit road. “Brody, this is about that guy from Friday night, isn't it?”“Don't fucking mention him right now.” Brody's Ayra immediately became cold.Of course, the henchmen were talking about the incident in front of the luxurious restaurant with Max and Benjamin. Brody could never wash off the humiliation he had been dealt that night, the same way he couldn't seem to get the taste of the dog shit he was forced to eat out his mouth. Ever since that horrible night, he could've enjoyed his meals in peace without the taste of dog shit being registered in his brain.Brody was certain that his
Stoop Christ is known as one of the most powerful lords in the underground world. For a mega city like New Stone City, there were only a handful of powerful underground lords who owned a significant portion of the massive chain of illegal businesses underground. Stoop Christ is one of those few people.As junior district keeper, those with the same title as Brody Cage are considered to be the runts of the barrels, and so they almost never get the opportunity to speak with the big boss. Yet, Brody had managed to secure not only a private meeting with the big boss but even through an invitation to the bug boss's private residence. But this was only because of what Brody claimed he knew.“You said you had something important to tell me, right?” Stoop Christ spoke with a gentle but husky voice, making him come across as a gentle roughian. Brody smiled with a subservient pose as he took a step forward. “Yes, Don Stoop. There's a……”Brody suddenly halted his words and froze as he heard m
As one of the few powerful underground big bosses of New Stone City, he had seen a lot of intense things and had survived a lot of incredibly dark situations.There are very few situations that could make him lose control over his emotions. Unfortunately for him, one of those rare situations was what ended up ruining his dinner that evening.Those who were versed in the affairs of the city's underworld know that there's deep enmity between the Skull High Gang and the Feudal Gang.“The ability of the big boss to switch instantaneously between the light and dark aura is truly frightening.” One of the henchmen whispered to the other as they both maintained the furthest distance from Brody.“But why is Brody lying to the big boss?” The other henchman whispered to his mate this time. “If this deceit is discovered, isn't Brody afraid of getting skinned alive by the big boss? Also, won't we also be affected?”The two henchmen had no idea that Brody had brought them here to feed the big boss
Her order was final, a glance at Don Stoop made it clear that he was not going to stop his lady from delivering the act of cruelty upon Brody and his henchmen.Brody was pissed at this woman for what she wanted to subject him to, but he knew better than to daringly show his emotion. Therefore, he struggled to hold his smile.“But, Lady Anna, what did I do wrong?”“Did I say you did anything wrong?” Lady Anna gave another fake smile. “This is a token of my appreciation for showing up and disrupting a private date with my baby. Then delivering a piece of information so bad that it has officially ruined our night.”Lady Anna's voice was dripping with sarcasm the entire time. She was angry. She had been angry from the beginning when Stoop Christ made her receive these low-tier people herself. It wasn't too far-fetched to say that whether Brody delivered good news or bad news, it didn't matter to Lady Anna. She had long decided that she was going to humiliate Brody as a way to alleviate h
Benjamin woke up early. It was now Sunday and he had a schedule to keep up with. He had received a call from the prime estate's Head Butler Herbert.“Grandma, I'm going to the Whiteridge's Prime Estate to visit Grandpa,” Benjamin informed the old woman as they were seated at the dining table, having their breakfast for the day.“Oh?” This was definitely news to Theresa Knox. “I had no idea you were leaving the mansion today.”“We are.” Benjamin gestured at Theresa and him with his finger. “You're coming with me. Grandpa wants to meet the benevolent woman who saved and raised me.”Theresa's tea spoon slipped right out of her hand right into the cup of tea, splashing some in her dress.“Huh?!” Theresa was left shocked by this. “Do……do you mean it?! Mr. Whiteridge himself wants to meet me?!”The female housekeeper standing not too far quickly rushed over to help Theresa clean up the spill while the old woman herself was still frozen as she's struggling to believe this.Benjamin frowned w
Benjamin smiled as he gazed out at Anthony. “It's because of me.” He shifted a satisfied gaze to his grandmother. “Anthony must have remembered that I don't want my identity as the owner of the biggest residence in Sunspot Estate to be attached to my face.”Theresa’s eyes widened as the realization hit her. “Oh my goodness! You're right! If he had rolled down the windshield, those security guards would have definitely seen your face.”“Exactly.” Benjamin smiled wider before gazing back out at the car. “He's brilliant, isn't he? I didn't have to tell him what to do, and yet…..”“He used to be a driver at the Whiteridge's Prime Estate, right?” Theresa let out a sigh. “Surely, your grandfather only allowed the best in every aspect. I can see why Anthony was designated to you. He's not just your driver, he's also like a protector.”Meanwhile,“How can I help you?” Anthony stood with a straight back, facing these two security guards with a stern expression. He hasn't forgiven this unit for
