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
The housekeepers knew they had crossed a line. So they bowed apologetically before they rushed back inside the mansion. The mention of Benjamin's dead father brought a moment of awkwardness to them. Benjamin's eyes held ominously at that moment. Theresa held the young man's hand tighter, letting him know that she was there.Herbert sighed before bowing. “Apologies for those bratty housekeepers running their mouths, Young Master.”Honestly, Benjamin didn't know how to feel hearing about his father. He barely knew both him and his biological mother.As long as Benjamin could remember, Benjamin was raised by Theresa. The old woman was the only one she felt a sense of parental bond towards.Benjamin brought his attention back to the present and he nodded while giving a tight-lipped smile. “It's nothing. Where's Grandpa?”“In his office,” Herbert spoke with a professional demeanor as if the last few seconds didn't even happen. He led them into the mansion.Herbet turned a warm gaze to the
“At the moment, there are none of the family members in the estate.” The female voice responded to the patriarch. “They should have all returned to their respective estates, Sir.”The call quickly came to an end as Hunter confirmed to his grandson that he was in the green.Hearing this, Benjamin nodded his head with a slight smile.“I'm glad to hear this. Honestly, I brought a disguise with me in case it turns out that there are relatives around.”Hunter stared up at his grandson for a couple of seconds. “Benjamin, are there any other reasons you don't want to see your blood relatives that I don't know about?”Benjamin stared down at his grandfather with a clear expression. “No, there are no other reasons. I'm simply taking things seriously.”Benjamin understood his grandfather being suspicious of him and he was aware that he was outwardly taking this intention of total avoidance very seriously. Anyone who saw the way Benjamin was making sure to keep away from the rest of the Whiteri
Herbert allowed a moment to pass before speaking again. “Your relatives….they're the ones who bear the brunt of these assassination attempts. Being members of the family on top also means that you're susceptible to being besieged from all sides. That's why we have a private barracks. Men and women are trained heavily before being assigned to protect members of the family.”“So these military men and women are our family's owned bodyguards.” Benjamin wasn't asking a question but rather making a conclusive statement from everything Herbert had said. He nodded his head. “Got it.”The black jeep never stopped for a moment in the barracks. Anthony was instructed by Herbert to simply drive around the barracks before they left.Benjamin was absolutely fine with this. He wasn't interested in interacting with these soldiers for the moment.The tour was over within three hours. Now, Anthony drove them back to the main mansion.On their way back, Herbert glanced at Benjamin. “Young Master, how i
[What's up, Hot stuff. I'm currently alone at my dorm. Get here as soon as you can, okay? I can't wait to have an amazing night with you. ]Benjamin Knox - a tall young man with a lean but well-toned build - stood right outside the dormitory of his girlfriend. He was currently in an excited state as he checked his cheap phone for the tenth time, reading the text message his lover had sent him earlier today.“Could Alexa possibly be talking about something entirely different? Am I misinterpreting this text?” Benjamin whispered his scepticism to himself, as he still couldn't believe this. Alexa, his girlfriend, had never invited him to her place before. More so, she has never agreed to have sex with him before. She wouldn't even agree to making their relationship public. Though Benjamin had never minded all that, believing that Alexa probably had her reasons. He had been willing to take care of her as best as he could, even giving her most of his salaries saved up from his several pa
