Ensuring the woman stood on her own, Benjamin escorted her to the outdoor terrace. His primary concern was to conduct the questioning without causing any disturbance that might disrupt Valerie's serene slumber.Simultaneously, two sleek black SUVs pulled up directly in front of the house. A robust figure swiftly disembarked from the co-driver's seat, making a beeline towards Benjamin."Young Master, are you alright?!" Lebron inquired anxiously, hastily examining Benjamin from head to toe. In his panic, he even overlooked the presence of the bound woman standing beside his master.Benjamin shook his arm and responded casually, "Take it easy, Lebron. I'm perfectly fine. Instead, I've snagged something quite interesting."At that point, Lebron finally turned his attention to the captivating woman standing beside Benjamin.The woman, standing at a height of 168cm, appeared to be in her twenties. Her slender physique resembled that of a Spanish guitar. Despite her cold and indifferent expr
The dungeon in Frost's Mansion was far from the grim image people typically associated with such places. It was too elegant to be labeled a prison, equipped with all the amenities one could imagine.Each prison cell boasted a queen-size bed, a bathroom complete with a bathtub and shower, a compact library, a fully equipped gym, and even a television stocked solely with offline movies.The provision of such luxurious facilities stemmed from its straightforward design philosophy.The dungeon in Frost's Mansion is dedicated to imposing "house arrest" as a penalty for its household members who have committed rather serious offenses.Therefore, Benjamin's choice to confine the female intruder to his mansion's dungeon could be deemed fitting. It should be noted that, as of now, he still perceived the woman as having a peculiar identity, more than just a hired fighter. Ensuring her well-being was crucial, as she could potentially serve as a bargaining chip in future negotiations.Observing t
Benjamin returned to Valerie in the kitchen with a look of guilt on his face."I'm sorry, but I don't think I can join you for breakfast this morning," Benjamin expressed, gazing at the girl before him with intensity.Valerie maintained a nearly impassive expression as she inquired, "You wanted to see your wife, didn't you?"Feeling Valerie's twinge of jealousy, Benjamin approached the topic cautiously. "We'll just talk about the divorce papers. I'll try to get her to go to court. Maybe today or tomorrow, we'll officially be separated."Valerie smiled wryly, then remarked, "I'm a woman, and I know all too well that Diane won't give up so easily. As long as she wants you back, she'll find a way. She might try various methods, perhaps by offering you everything you never received from her before your separation."Benjamin shook his head slowly, once again offering reassurance, "Don't overthink it. It's too early to predict what will happen next. I hope you can stay here without any worri
Nathan pressed his finger against the trigger, poised to unleash the shot. Yet, seconds passed without the anticipated blast, leaving Darvis Luther, standing by his side, with a disconcerting sense of unease."What are you hesitating for, Nathan? Just pull the trigger and put an end to it!" urged Darvis.Nathan simply shook his head in response, remaining silent. Instead, he snapped at Benjamin, "Hey, scum! Why not turn your body to face me? This is going to be my inaugural kill, and it would be delightful to witness the fear on your face in those final moments!"Benjamin rose to his feet, pivoting to confront Nathan and Darvis directly.Nathan anticipated encountering a deathly pale countenance on Benjamin's face, drained of life's color due to sheer terror. However, what he found was quite the opposite; not a trace of unease marred the man's expression.Absence of fear wasn't the only thing; Benjamin went a step further, adding a hint of mockery to his expression. The gaze in his eye
Diane cast a desperate gaze at Benjamin, sensing that he harbored no intention of sparing her in any manner.However formidable Benjamin might appear, underneath his tough exterior lay someone well-versed in the art of repaying kindness.Releasing a prolonged sigh, Benjamin uttered, "This time, I'll grant you freedom. Consider it my repayment for the food and shelter you've provided me for the past five years. However, post this, we must proceed to court and initiate divorce proceedings, lest I reconsider. I'll be awaiting you at the municipal court, so make your way there as promptly as possible."Diane nodded swiftly, her thoughts dismissing any idea of disagreement without a second thought."I'm going to do it! Let's proceed with the divorce as soon as we can!"With a satisfied nod, Benjamin conveyed once more, "These two individuals won't have the capacity to transport themselves to the hospital. It's your responsibility to ensure their safety, and quite frankly, I've reached a po
Benjamin accelerated his Ferrari F40 at an unusually brisk pace, a departure from his usual driving style. Along the route, he succeeded in capturing the gaze of onlookers, thanks to the resounding roar emanating from his powerful engine.And if that doesn't add an extra layer of challenge, picture this: Benjamin is currently deftly navigating his cell phone, making a call without relinquishing his grip on the steering wheel with either of his hands.In this crucial moment, the fortuitous recipient of Benjamin's call happened to be Lebron, the head of the devoted bodyguard squad that remained unfailingly loyal to Benjamin and the esteemed Frost Family. Due to his unwavering commitment, Lebron made it a point to always have his cell phone on hand, anticipating that Benjamin might urgently require his assistance at any given moment. Consequently, this time, the call connected in a mere five seconds."Master Frost, you summoned me. Kindly instruct me on what needs to be done?" Lebron inqu
"SHIT!"Benjamin's awareness heightened when he discovered that the initial three bullets fired by Matthew had punctured various areas of his body. Fortunately, none of them had struck vital organs that could lead to imminent death.Those three bullets inflicted damage solely to Benjamin's shoulder, arm, and the muscles on his side abdomen. Remarkably, none of the bullets made contact with his bones; instead, they embedded themselves in the muscle tissue that Benjamin had saturated with a substantial amount of Qi just moments before the bullets struck.At the same time, Benjamin's cellphone which was still connected to Lebron made another sound:"Hello? Are you alright, Master Frost? I just heard some explosion sounds very close to you, please tell me that it was not a second strike!" Lebron clearly harbored immense fear in his voice.Benjamin held back his groans to speak, "Just carry out your mission. I am fine here."Lebron, hesitating to delve into more inquiries, promptly added b
A triumphant smile played on Nathan's lips as Claire elegantly lit his cigar. A palpable sense of satisfaction emanated from his expression, reveling in the perceived success of having Claire now serving him."Quite commendable, Claire. You certainly understand how to please a guest," Nathan remarked with a hint of playful banter in his tone.In response, Claire offered a subtle smile, concealing her emotions behind a composed facial expression. She strategically selected a seat, positioning herself close enough to Nathan and Darvis to actively participate in the ongoing conversation.With a cunning smile, Nathan turned his gaze to Claire and suggested to Darvis, "I believe, before delving into more serious discussions, let Claire join me here. It will allow us to discuss our plans more intimately."Darvis appeared somewhat hesitant but ultimately granted his approval with indifference. Claire complied obediently, endeavoring to maintain a neutral demeanor even as her heart raced.The
