Suddenly, a frail voice called out, although light but weak..." Daddy!" Immediately, James was charged up, his ears perking! He didn't waste a time and lifted his head, scanning the walls around. " Sarah!" His deep voice echoed out strongly like thunder rumbling the building, and he skipped away from Victor and Zhao, who was writhing on the ground. " Victor!!" Rolling on the ground, Zhao screamed and managed to stretch his hand forward, as if wanting to stop James. " Where are the men?! You better stop him now! If he gets his hand on his daughter, we are doomed, especially you! The Tarlose family will be wiped out, and you would be gone!" Victor, upon hearing this, tried to regain his composure and adjusted himself. He took out a small cloth to wipe away the beads of sweats on his forehead and quickly made a call. " Where are the men?! I want them here within minutes unless y'all want to be finished!" He threatened in an unfamiliar voice and hung up instantly, exh
After Zhao finished his order, Kyle appeared in the building, striding in as if he was ready to strike anyone that comes his way. Without saying anything, he stood by James' side and rolled his long sleeves from his hands. " Just like the old time." A playful grin tugged the corner of his lips.The trained men ordered by Zhao, didn't waste a second and attacked both Kyle and James swiftly! From their first move, it was glaring they were skilled, and this made James' gaze to narrow. Zhao was quick to caught this slight move on James' face, and he made a ludicrous laughter, clapping his hands together amusingly. " Haha! I know this will be your end! Look at you, you are even nervous about the men I just got.You are doomed! I'm sure you will beg me for mercy and roll on the ground, crying! Haha! Now, kneel on the ground and kow kow to me! Slap yourself a hundred times, then I will consider sparing you or not..." He suddenly went mad and shouted excitedly, taking James' facial move
It all seems to die down when James left the building with Sarah and Kael. The drive all the way to the secret house was rendered in silence, although president Richard wasn't with them. He had went to attend to other activities since the battle was over. Some minutes later, James and Kael arrived at the secret house, which was located almost at the outskirts of the city. Tall, large trees with their long leaves rustling as the breeze blew, stood like a guard around the secret house. They wholly casted dappled shadow on the plain but unique design of the house."Good that you are back." Jessica welcomed them as soon as they arrived, walking out to receive them. " She is just waking up," she informed James and glanced briefly at Kael. The impassive expression on James' face changed instantly when his ears perceived this. A warm look latched on his face. " Thank you Jessica," he expressed his gratitude and looked down at Sarah, who was in his arms. " I need you to check her also.
Night fell and darkness was beginning to approach the city. This was the time Sarah found herself awake in a strange but bright room. Her eyelids trembled, as she struggled to wake up. Her puny eyes roamed across the whole of the room, and she adjusted herself on the bed. Silently wondering where she was, she didn't hesitate to opened her lips and called out for her mother. "Mummy!" In that instant, the door clicked open, and a tall slender figure advanced in. " You are awake." Sarah's eyes fell on the figure who just stepped in and approached her. Her brows pulled in confusion. " Daddy?" She called out with a tone of uncertainty. James chuckled, shrugged his shoulders. " Who else?" " It's Daddy!" Her face lightened, illuminating her excitement, and she raised her eyes! Without warning, she hopped from the bed and jumped on James' arms, who caught her accurately. "It's okay, baby. You are safe now," he assured her, patting her back lovingly and promised in a serious
The room was eerily quiet and dark, only illuminated by the faint light from the moon filtering through the curtains..In there, a familiar man stood without a word, staring at the cold body of a small kid. His face was clouded with extreme dismal, emitting an unfriendly vibe, making people cautious before approaching him. " Yuchen. I never thought I will be the one to bury you." Zhao's broken voice sounded in the dark room as misery simmered in his heart. Just the sight of his dead grand son was enough to shatter the last humanity and hope in him. After enduring and trying everything possible, it all settled in vain. Reflecting on his waste efforts, resources and time, his face became more gloomy like a stormy cloud that refused to clear. Especially knowing it was all caused by that - ungrateful bastard! His palms clenched, digging his fingers into his thighs! Yuchen was the only relative left for him, his only grandson and companion. As a matter of fact, he had decided
Just as she opened the door to receive Emily, an unexpected figure blocked her view. " Emily, how........... You - useless stray dog! How dare you show your face here again ?!" Her expression twisted into an unfriendly one, and she glared at James who stood nonchalantly at the door. " Sorry to disappoint you, mum." James' voice remained steady, his face on Juliet, unwavering. " You.......... ..." Juliet felt like spitting out venom at James, and she blushed angrily! " You only disappoint yourself cause you are not welcomed here!" " What's going on, Juliet?" Steven strode towards the door, staring at Juliet curiously and wondering what was making her to lose it. Juliet turned to Steven, raising her voice , " This walking vomit is back again! I can't believe he is back! Isn't he suppose to be mourning his ........." Realizing what was about to escape from her running mouth, she bit her bottom lip and abruptly paused! Steven frowned at his wife and shook his head, " Juliet, don
Bang bang!" Emily! You still have the nerve to sleep by this time! The company has been acquired!" The loud noise startled Emily, who was just waking up. " What?" Rubbing her eyes, she complained, her brows knitting. " Dad?"" Do you need me to kick this door before you come to your senses?! Get up now!" Steven yelled, his voice filled with a sense of urgency. James straightened himself up and got down from the bed. " I think something is wrong," he tugged at his pants, saying, and he approached the door. Recognition dawned on Emily's face. With immediate effects, she rolled from the bed, grabbing hold of her crutches. She adjusted her sleep wear and followed James to the door. The instant the door was unlocked by James, Steven bustled in swiftly. " We have to go to the company now!" He informed impatiently, facing Emily. " There's no time at all." " What do you mean , dad?" Emily's forehead furrowed as she inquired confusingly. Steven's expression hardened! " Didn't you h
" This is to compensate for the five hundred million dollars worth good and to pay for the damages done." Jasper concluded what was on the file and closed it up. He lifted his head casually, taking off his glasses and cleaning them before putting it back on. The information turned out to be a bombshell news, which ruined the faces of the people listening to it. The tension in the air rose up intensely! " What?!" Standing up from her seat immediately hearing what Jasper said, Emily's face scrunched up, and her mouth twisted! " Excuse me? What was that?!" " What was what?" Jasper looked down at Emily impolitely. Emily grounded her jaw, unsatisfied with James audacious attitude. She retorted, " Don't act like you don't know what you just said. What do you mean the Thompson company stole 500 million dollars worth good?! How? When?" Jasper threw a scoff at Emily's words, " What you should rather focus on is how to save the company. You should be glad the Song corporation a
