Brody immediately nodded his head. “I swear on my family's grave that it's him.” He pointed straight at Max. “This bastard was pulled in by his friend to become spies for the Feudal Gang.”“Wait, what?!” Max was lost at first when he heard this brief conversation between the muscular newcomer and Brody. But then it quickly hit him and his eyes widened in shock.“Spy?! What spy?!” Max turned his attention to the terrifying muscular man. “Sir, don't believe him! I'm just a….” He didn't get to finish his words.“Shut the fuck up!” Brody gritted his teeth as he delivered a brutal kick to Brody's chest, sending him straight to the ground. “Maximus!” Kendra yelled out weakly as she couldn't even get up properly to check up on her son. She was still in a lot of pain following the kick to the chest she had received from Mr. Hay.“Max!” Gina screamed at the top of her lungs at the sight of her brother being kicked in the chest as well. Still, she was still holding her mother's head on her lap

Max's little sister, Gina, quickly got on her knees while pleading with her palms pressed together. “Please, let my brother go! I'm begging you! He's really not the spy you're looking for! Whatever you think he did, I promise that you've got the wrong person!”While mother and daughter are trying their best to get past those armed men holding them back, the lanky uncle, Jeremiah, has become sober after witnessing his nephew be brutally beaten up. Still, he remained huddled in the corner he was put in, not willing to risk being beaten up as well.Getting pissed by the distraction, Jude has his men take all three family members to another room and lick them up there. He couldn't hear the yelling and thrashing.After being kicked in the only toilet in the entire building, Gina and her mother kept trying to break out. Jeremiah, though, remained as unbothered to join as ever.“Uncle!” Gina took notice of this. “Uncle, don't just sit there. Are you just gonna sit there and let them beat my

Max still couldn't see completely as his face was still blurry with blood. Still, he quickly pulled out his phone, with the screen now cracked.“Forgive me.” He whispered with a broken voice as he called Benjamin's number.“Put it on loudspeaker mode,” Jude said as he saw Max place the phone on his ear.The phone rang for a couple of seconds before the call was then answered.“Max, what's up?! Have you gone to see your dad yet?” Benjamin's calm voice came through. “I confirmed that he has been transferred to Health-Bind Hospital. He's doing better now, right?”Max shut his eyes for a moment to steady his voice. “Um, yeah. Yeah, I….uh, I saw him yesterday. He's doing good.”There was a few seconds of silence before Benjamin spoke again. “Alright, that's good to hear.” Judging by his voice, it seems he didn't detect anything suspicious. “Bro, sorry that I haven't called after that night at the restaurant. It's just that I've been busy. You're doing good though, right?”Jude was tired of

Benjamin could tell that his best friend was in some sort of danger during the call. It wasn't because Max sent some secret code or anything. It was rather the tone he spoke with.At the time of the call, Benjamin had wrapped up his meeting with the CEO of Cortex Tech, Jonny Biggs. He ended this meeting with so much knowledge of what the AI assistant, Andy, is all about. Benjamin then had lunch with his grandfather and grandmother, still a bit in shock as he watched Hunter shower Theresa with praises from time to time. Once lunch was over, Benjamin and Theresa were ready to leave the prime estate and return to Sunspot Estate. The next day was a weekday and Benjamin had classes on Monday.Herbert didn't let Benjamin leave without bringing up an important matter. “Young Master Benjamin, I've been informed by Miss Locks of your residence. She reported that your means of transportation are still very limited.”Hunter tilted his head once he heard these words. “Herbert, don't tell me tha

Benjamin watched his grandfather head back to his office before he then turned to Theresa. “Grandma, you need to head home too. I'll have Anthony drive you home, okay?”“No, young master!” Anthony suddenly rushed forward before bowing slightly to Benjamin. “Young Master, I want to be the one to transport you there. I want to accompany you!”Herbert's expression turned cold. “Know your place! You are to do only what the young master has ordered you to do! You were not transferred to question him!”“Head Butler, it's fine.” Benjamin quickly stopped the older man from verbally trashing his driver. “Anthony is simply worried about me.”“I can secure young master's safety!” Anthony summoned enough courage to gaze up at Herbert with a determined expression. “No matter how dangerous this mission is, I'll make sure Young Master Benjamin isn't hurt in the slightest, even if it leads to my death.”“Don't say that!” Theresa gently slapped on the driver's shoulder, unwilling to hear that last par

“Yes, Sir. Um…. Master, about that matter.” Herbert suddenly became hesitant.“Yes?” Hunter finally shifted his gaze from his documents, and straight at his head butler. “Did you do what I ordered?”Herbert nodded his head. “Of course, Master. I talked to Young Master Benjamin about his parents, including where they are buried in this estate. I offered to take him there, so he could pay his respects to them, but…. Young Master Benjamin refused to see either of his parent’s graves.” Hunter saw the dejected expression on his head butler's face. “I see.” He couldn't help the pain that reached his heart. “I'm certain both Dallas and Caroline would be….sad that their son refuses to go greet them.”“I’m sorry, Master Hunter.” Herbert shook his head. “It's just that….Young Master seemed unbothered. There seemed to be no trace of love in there.”Hunter scoffed lightly. “Love for who? Those two were not even alive to raise him. Only the heavens know what would have seriously become him if Mrs

Benjamin had arrived in front of the Detroit family's house alone. Immediately, he and Anthony stepped out of the car; those of Jude's men who had been ordered to stay outside turned to this newcomer.“Who the fuck are you?!” One of Jude's men asked with a threatening voice as he and his men walked towards this young man.Benjamin kept his gaze on the entrance to the Detroit's family home and he began taking slow steps forward.A second later, all of Jude's men situated here, numbering about fifteen of them, pointed their guns straight at Benjamin with gold gazes. Their movements were quite sharp.“Are you fucking deaf or something?!” The armed gang member asked once again. “What is your business here?!”Benjamin finally glanced at this gang member. “Didn't your boss make your friend call me here?”The gang member who seemed to be leading the others finally realised who Benjamin was. “Oh, you're the bastard our boss has been waiting for?” This gang member in charge of the rest glance

Benjamin's heart shook but he knew better than to show it. He immediately stuffed his hands in his pocket with an unbothered gaze.“Am I late to the party?”The attention of Jude, Brody, and the rest in the living room was now on this young, handsome man standing in the doorway.Brody's eyes widened. “It's him! He's here! Senior Jude, it's him!”Benjamin heard this and he quickly realised that this muscular man had to be the one in charge.Jude's gaze met Benjamin's and he began trying to decipher what emotional state the other was in. He was intrigued when he found nothing.“Oh? You hide yourself well.” A smile slowly stretched across Jude's face, and he pulled his gun back from Brody's head, forgetting about the annoying junior district keeper for the moment.Jude waved his hand, gesturing for Benjamin to come closer. “Come in! Come in!”Brody key out a sigh of relief at being spared. He had concluded himself as gone. But then he saw that Benjamin had arrived and quickly grabbed the

Head Butler Lia noticed the pissed-off look on her young master's face, and she quickly took a mental step back, softening her voice with a slight bow of her head.“Apologies, Young Master Benjamin. I had no idea that it was you who chose to eat at such a place.”Benjamin reigned in his reaction as well. “I want you three to come up with me to my study. We have some things to discuss.” Head Butler Lia exchanged a glance with the male soldier who had just arrived with Anthony. It was obvious that the young master was starting to attach a level of importance to this lowly driver. Once Benjamin and the other three arrived inside his private study, they settled down.Anthony had to remain on his feet as there were only two other seats on the other side of Benjamin’s desk, both of which had been occupied by the head butler and the male soldier.Benjamin pretended as if he didn't notice this. “First of all, Head Butler Lia, has there been any reply from the estate's head of security?”Ben

The Bugatti Sports car soon arrived at Sunspot Estate, and just like before, the security guards gave them no trouble at all. Anthony and Benjamin couldn't help but exchange a smile at the vast difference in the kind of treatment they receive now and what they dealt with on their first entry.As they approached the largest residence in Sunspot Estate, Benjamin found the rest of the thirty soldiers now stationed in various parts of the residence boundary, doing their job to secure the place. Benjamin was content with this. Anthony craned his neck slightly as he saw something by the gate. “Young Master, those two soldiers you from this morning are still serving their punishment.”“As they should.” Benjamin was confident that they wouldn't dare disobey his order as the young master and their assigned boss.The gates were immediately opened and the car went straight in. By the time Anthony opened the door for Benjamin to step out, they found three soldiers, led by a man, standing at att

Benjamin could sense how incredibly awkward things had become while driving home. This was mostly due to the tense state Anthony was in as he drove the car. Benjamin would also catch him glancing through the rearview mirror.“Anthony, if you have any questions, just ask.”Anthony chuckled nervously. “I know, Sir. It's just…..I'm afraid asking this might be too personal for you.”Benjamin had on a slight smile as he turned his gaze out of the tinted windshield. “Are you talking about the cruel method I used with those armed men?”Anthony stiffened as he nodded his head. “If it's too personal, then I understand. I'm sorry I asked in the first place.”Benjamin kept quiet for a solid minute, seemingly lost in a daze as he stared out at the late afternoon sky passing by.“That side of me you witnessed at the food truck, it's a part of me I try to keep down as much as possible. It would have never existed if not for what happened to me earlier in my life. I guess you can call it a coming-o

“Die, murhafucka!”That was when another knife came flying from the side. This armed man didn't see it coming at all, so the knife had successfully sliced through his wrist before he realized it.“Ghhaar! Fuck!” This armed man was in great pain as he dropped his pistol. He tightly held onto his profusely bleeding wrist.Anthony, in the meantime, didn't slow down his own attack. As soon as he got close to the scared armed man, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it sharply, breaking the bone, which effectively disarmed him.Anthony then followed up with an uppercut punch, which sent the man spitting out saliva as he flew through the air, dropping to the ground in an unconscious state.Just like that, all five armed men had been disarmed.Anthony shifted his gaze to the attacker who had dodged his knife. Surprised to find him in a serious state, he shifted his gaze once again to find Benjamin walking towards him with a knife in his hand.Anthony couldn't believe Benjamin had this kind of

Benjamin and Anthony hid well inside the food truck, listening as gunshots were released into the air.Meanwhile, as soon as one of these attackers shot at the food truck, a bald and muscular member quickly punched him.“Have you lost your goddamn mind?! We were only hired to teach that young man a lesson, not fucking kill him!”“C’mon, boss, I was just scaring them. I wasn't actually gonna kill him.”The bald man sighed as he looked at the frightened people running about the park with a deep frown.“I didn't expect that young man and his driver would actually notice us. Fuck it! It doesn't matter. Let's surround the truck and force them out. There's only so much space to hide in that thing.”The group of five armed men began to slowly move towards the food truck. Unknown to them, their targets were secretly watching all of their moves.While hiding in the food truck, Anthony found a mirror that happened to be propelled at the right angle. Through this, he and his young master were ab

“You don't have to talk about this, Anthony.” Benjamin made sure to convey this to his driver.But Anthony shook his head. “You're the only one who has bothered to ask me about all these. I want to tell you everything.” Benjamin saw the determination in Anthony's eyes, so he nodded his head. “Alright then. Go on.”They were murdered by a loan shark. We were not living in the best conditions and my father ended up borrowing tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, he was unable to pay them. As a result, those loan sharks harvested my parents’ organs to go sell-off in the black market.”Benjamin put the pieces together. “You must have then spent the next two years in an orphanage home, right? That's where Grandpa found you.”Anthony nodded. “Master Hunter took care of me within the walls of the prime estate. Though there was little he could do in terms of the way the other employees saw me.”Benjamin sneered. “If Grandpa had interfered with such a thing, the elders and other member

The air around Benjamin's table became a little stiff as the two went quiet. Benjamin needed a moment to digest what he had just learned and Anthony gave him that moment of silence.After a while though, Benjamin sat up straight and took another scoop of ice cream into his mouth, looking like nothing serious had happened.“Then what happened?” He gave Anthony the permission to continue his event narration.Anthony nodded his head with a thin-linned lips. “Fortunately, the Whiteridge family had long been keeping tabs on my family. They suspected that they might be trying to overthrow the Whiteridge family and they had placed a smart plan to foil the assassination.”“A plan to foil the assassination?” Benjamin paused as he was about to devour another scoop of ice cream. “What do you mean by that?”“My family's assassination plan didn't make it to the final stage before it was destroyed from within.” Anthony stared off into the distance of nothingness as if he could see everything he was

Around that time, Benjamin glanced out the tinted windshield of the Bugatti as Anthony drove him home. He had noticed Anthony glancing at him multiple times through the rearview mirror.Benjamin had ignored the stares at first but it began to bother him.“Anthony, just say what you want to say. Your stares are making me feel a bit violated.”A look of guilt quickly appeared on Anthony's face. “I'm sorry, Young Master. I didn't mean to bother you like that.”Benjamin sighed as he stared back at his driver through the rearview mirror. “You want to talk about what happened at home right? The reason why those soldiers were treating you with disrespect.”Anthony kept his gaze on the road as he nodded. “Only if you'll allow me to give my side of the story. If you feel repulsed by my presence after that, I promise that I will act accordingly.”“You'll act accordingly,” Benjamin repeated those last words with a raised eyebrow. “What does that mean?”“It means I will resign effective immediate
