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
The dim and damp basement bore witness to the silent suffering of Claire, Jennie, and Maria. The ropes securing them to the chairs seemed to bite into their skin, intensifying the discomfort. Their unconscious state contributed to the overall eerie atmosphere.Shrouded in the cloak of darkness, Claire labored to stir Jennie and Maria from their unconscious state. Her hands trembled as she grappled with the unforgiving knots, yet her efforts proved futile against the relentless bonds. As she desperately sought to bring her companions back to awareness, the ominous echoes of weighty footsteps infiltrated the basement, signaling an unwelcome intrusion. feeble glow emanated from the ceiling-mounted lamp, casting a dim light in the room. In this subdued illumination, Claire discerned the entrance of Daniel Luther, Darvis' father, his assured steps echoing through the space. The coldness in his eyes and the impassive demeanor etched across his face instilled fear in Claire's heart."Uh...
The room quivered violently from the explosion, and in its aftermath, the air crackled with the dramatic entrance of five operatives clad in black. Their weapons gleamed in the subdued light, cutting through the basement's darkness like animated shadows materializing out of nowhere."Prepare yourselves, everyone! Remain perfectly still!" The resounding command from the troop commander reverberated, saturating the room with an undeniable air of authority. Advanced weaponry, poised and primed for lethal action, took aim at Daniel, a menacing promise of devastating force hanging in the tense air.Simultaneously, the remainder of the troop meticulously surveyed the room, ensuring that no concealed threats lingered in the shadows. The atmosphere crackled with shouts, hurried footsteps, and the clinking of weapons, crafting a gripping symphony of heightened tension.Approaching Daniel with an implacable expression, the squad commander delivered a stern ultimatum. "Raise your hands, immediat
Valerie swiftly comprehended that she had unintentionally obstructed Benjamin's path, solely to inspect the young man's physique more closely. Her face flushed with embarrassment, she promptly stepped aside and uttered, "Apologies. Feel free to head for a clean-up whenever you wish; I, too, must attend to matters in my office."Benjamin continued to smile, knowing that Valerie was feeling Benjamin maintained his warm smile, aware of Valerie's slight embarrassment. Seeking to ease the tension, he flashed a comforting grin and gently remarked, "Take care on your way, Val."With those words, Benjamin strolled away toward his room. However, the promise to shower right away went unfulfilled; it was merely an excuse. Instead, he retrieved his phone and promptly dialed Lebron's number.Shortly after the dial tone ceased, Lebron's resonant voice echoed, "Master Frost, I'm relieved you reached out! Are you alright?"Benjamin chose silence in response to that inquiry, for he detested trivial b
