Henry took out his phone and immediately placed a call to Miss Rose. “I need your help.” He stated the moment she responded to his call. “Mr. Parker, what can I do for you?” Miss Rose asked calmly. “Three of my classmates went missing on the mountain where they went camping. I need you to help me find them. They were most likely captured by Troy. Can you accept the task?” Henry said. Miss Rose smiled from her end. She cleared her throat loudly and said. “Of course, yes. I just want Mr. Parker to agree to one thing.”“Go ahead.”“If I help you, it means I’ll offend the Smith family. I’d like to become your subordinate after this matter is resolved. Only under the wings of your family can I escape the Smith’s revenge.” She told Henry. Miss Rose wasn’t afraid of Troy even though the Eye of Dark Knight was not as powerful as the Smith family. Miss Rose knew that she could still avoid the revenge of the Smith family. The reason why she requested Henry was because she wanted to use thi
“Jacob!” Henry professed with so much anger in his voice. That name kept appearing in his mind. It was evident that the fire had something to do with Jacob. Who could have thought that the person who caused the fire in the hotel that almost claimed Steven’s life could have been Jacob?Henry couldn’t help but wonder whether the disappearance of Chelsea and the others had something to do with Jacob. He kept analyzing the reason while Jacob did all these things in his heart. Although his relationship with Jacob was nothing special, it was not to the extent that there was hatred or rivalry between them. The ringing of Henry’s phone brought him back to reality. He glanced at the phone screen and saw that the caller was Jacob. Henry exhaled sharply and took a deep breath in his bid to make his tone as gentle as possible. He did not want to fall out with Jacob before the matter was clarified. “Hey, Jacob. Were you able to get Chelsea and the others out?” Henry asked. Henry heard Jacob sigh
Troy dropped his glass on the glass table with a smirk. “I just want Henry to feel what it means to use the method he used against me then I’ll use whatever means I have left to deal with him. As far as I’m concerned, I also have all the means he has and even the ones he doesn’t.”Seeing that Troy was in a good mood, Jacob mustered courage and decided to speak. “Troy, after you take care of Henry, will you let go of my classmates?”Benedict threw a glare at Jacob. “Is this what you should ask? You better pay attention to your tasks.”Troy smiled and raised his hand. “Calm down Benedict. Jacob is working for me now which means that he’s one of us.” He turned to Jacob. “Feel free to ask me anything and don’t worry. I have no grudges with your classmate. After I finish my business, I’ll let them go.”Jacob heaved a sigh of relief and fell back on his chair. “Thank you, Troy.”Benedict curled his lips in irritation. He hated it when people stole Troy’s attention away from him. With a gra
“How could this be?” Troy wondered. The hacker began to swing his head from left to right. “No, I can’t get rid of it. This is very bad.”“You just need to remove the internet connection and turn off the computer right?” Said Benedict. Simon turned to Benedict with his eyes filled with disdain. “This will only allow me to be delayed from being tracked. If I don’t hurry up and hide my ID, the other party is going to track me here.” Immediately after Simon finished speaking, the entire computer screen turned white. While they all watched in astonishment, a few black words appeared on the screen. “FOUND YOU. ITS OVER” was the word smeared on the computer screen. Simon’s heart turned cold. *****Henry was seated in his car, drinking from a bottle of soda when his phone began to ring. He quickly picked up the phone because he had been waiting for a call from the Eye of Dark Knight but when he looked at his screen, he saw that they weren’t the ones calling him. “Hello, Uncle Nate.”“
Benedict knew that if he was one step late, Troy might sell him out. “Troy, I think I need to head to the bathroom,” Benedict said with his voice slightly shivering. “Okay.” Troy nodded. After Benedict walked out of the room, Troy plunged his hands into his pocket and turned to the door. He motioned to his bodyguards who had been standing by the door to come forward. The men made their way toward Troy. “Yes, sir.” They chorused after standing before him. “Go and keep an eye on Benedict,” Troy ordered. The men nodded in understanding and slipped out. A few minutes later, Simon was packing up and Jacob was wondering what to do with himself when the two bodyguards ran into the living room in a panic. “Sir, Benedict ran away.” One of them revealed. Troy was stunned for a moment. “Trash!” he groaned with veins popping on his forehead. He moved closer to the guards and began to vent. “How can you let him run away?”The other bodyguard who was trembling managed to speak. “It turns
Henry looked at Jacob. Guilt was hovering all over him and he couldn’t even look Henry in the eyes. “Is there something we should know?” Henry asked. After betraying his roommates, Henry was not expecting Jacob to just show up at the hotel with the rest. Jacob heaved a deep sigh. “I burned down the hotel.” He muttered under his breath but everyone heard him. “What?” Dalton screamed in disbelief.“Also, there was no 30 million dollars ransom. I lied.” Jacob confessed with his head lowered in shame.When Jacob summoned the courage to look up, everyone was staring at him with shock spread across their faces. “I didn’t intend to do all of it. It was Troy who made me do it. He caught Aida and threatened me. You can ask her. He kept her at his mansion in Springwood and then released her at the same time with Chelsea and the others.”Before Henry could say anything, Berry was already blabbering. “You betrayed Henry for your girlfriend? How dare you? You’re a son of a bitch.”Chelsea was
Henry turned to Jacob. “Just forget about it. You can leave.”Berry quickly turned around and shouted. “Wait, are you going to let him go just like that?”Jacob raised his head and looked at Henry with a shocked expression. He had not expected Henry to stop pursuing the matter. “Sir, think about it. You can’t let him go. What if he betrays you in the future?” Betty fired. “No. He won’t have the chance to betray me in the future.” Henry stated confidently. He then moved closer to Jacob and looked down at him. “Jacob, from today, our friendship has been dissolved. From today onwards, if you do anything that wrongs me, my friends or family then I will not let you off slightly.”Jacob sighed for the first time in relief. He was happy that Henry had chosen to spare him but he was also disappointed because he was going to be strangers with Henry in the future. “Thank you,” Jacob said repeatedly and stood up. “Since Henry does not want to pursue this matter then you shouldn’t be here. G
“You guys can make whatever arrangements that suit you. We leave in five minutes.” Henry said indifferently.***About twenty minutes later, Henry and his crew pulled up in front of the venue. He brought Miss Rose, June, Betty, and Tiny Tim with him to meet Troy. Miss Rose had already contacted her people so by the time she arrived with Henry and the rest, her guards from the Eye of Dark Knight had already taken control of the building both inside and outside. The door to the building was pushed open by several bodyguards and Troy walked in. One of the guards leaned toward Troy and whispered. “Sir, the area is surrounded by guards from the Eye of Dark Knight.”Troy sighed. “As expected. She didn’t even waste any time to join Henry’s side. This means that she had the intention of working with him all this while and was just playing games with me.”At that point, Troy was glad that he had stopped attacking Henry, otherwise, he’d have suffered losses in the end because If Miss Rose cho
