"What was that all about?" Brooklyn asked as soon as they stepped out of the hall and headed to the dimly lit garage. "Levi, what was that man talking about in there?""We'll talk about it when we get home," Levi sighed and Lincoln chuckled at his helpless expression."Cousin in-law wants to know why that man addressed you like that. Don't keep her waiting."He also realised there are quite some things he doesn't know about his cousin. Like the part that he has a younger sister.Where is she? Also that man back there just made mention of print media companies. What did that mean?"Shut—" Levi was just about to give Lincoln a piece of his mind when he noticed the shadow of a figure suddenly dash across, so fast he wondered if he was hallucinating."Where is your chauffeur?" He thought of something and turned to Brooklyn, holding her arms a bit tightly.She wondered why he looked so serious all of a sudden but something prompted her to let go of her anger and answer him honestly."I ask
There was still no response and Levi was quite frustrated. He loosened the ropes around Lincoln and helped him to sit against the walls of the van.Because the van was moving sideways a bit, they kept slipping and it took quite an effort to make him sit up against the wall."Lincoln," He called again, tapping his face.The next minute, blood started to seep out of his nostrils, startling Levi. He was still unconscious."Oh no," Levi mumbled to himself. It seemed like the previous injuries that hadn't healed coupled with the hit earlier might have caused some sort of internal bleeding.Levi now knew letting Lincoln out of the van was out of the question as his body obviously couldn't take any more injuries or he would collapse.So as the van moved, Levi held him. His ring glinted slightly as the spiritual energy escaped from his body to Lincoln's.It took quite some time but his bleeding stopped and Levi let go because he was feeling dizzy as he had drained a substantial amount of ener
Hearing this, the doubts in the thug's mind were dispelled. Turns out it's just some worthless family heirloom."I'll relay your message to the boss," He nodded and ended the call.He then walked up to Levi who remained motionless on the chair. He knew Levi had heard all their conversation but that was what he intended to happen.Actually, this thug is the big boss's right hand man, Bruno. He had heard of how Levi broke the hand of one of the thugs sent to capture him who just so happened to be his favourite confidante and he wasn't pleased at the news.Thinking about the time, Levi had raided their community and gotten his boss arrested leading to the highest humiliation in the underworld, he riled up.So although he hadn't received any order from above, he signalled to the men positioned to watch Levi and one of them stepped away.Levi didn't wonder why he still remained there and was simply thinking about the call.So there was another boss beside this uncle Lloyd that wanted him d
"What do you mean? Why did no one ever mention my son going to San Jose?"The guards connected on the video call were trembling in fear although the middle-aged man on the phone was miles away.He was Cyrus Jones, Lincoln's father. After a calm had been put across Wales to inform Marie and grandfather Lloyd that Lincoln was missing with three others though the family of others managed to keep the news under wraps.Grandfather Hernandez wasn't worried about his son-in-law's reaction as he asked, "You say, his close friend Levi is missing also?""Yes sir," One of the guards confirmed it and he almost staggered backwards if it weren't for Marie who held him.Cyrus noticed this reaction and felt there was something else he didn't know."Father," He also rushed to hold grandfather Lloyd and help him to a chair."Sir, we have our men all over the city searching for them and we have also contacted the police although they made it known to us that they can't do anything now as it hasn't been t
Clang!The knife made a screech sound as it collided with the chains on Levi's hands. He had moved in at the last minute narrowly missing the knife.Dominique was furious and moved in for another attack. "Go to hell you fucking bastard!"Slash!The knife made a sound in air as Dominique missed his attempt. His veins bulged in anger and he looked at the thugs who could barely hold Levi back."Are you fools messing with me? Are you trying to tell me you can't hold back a man bound with chains?""Argh!"While they were distracted, Levi managed to break loose of the chains holding him down. Actually, he already twerked the chains a while ago and just tied it around his hands to keep up the act and wait for a perfect time to strike.As soon as he broke free, he pushed the men off him and Dominique staggered back in fear."What are you idiots doing on the floor? Get him!" He yelled, his voice filled with trepidation as Levi wrapped the chain around his hand and stalked towards him.His hear
"She has been taken to the hospital. We found her unconscious. Her bodyguard is in a critical condition too," A senior officer walked up to them at this point.Levi gritted in anger and his fingers clenched by his side. He should have killed Dominique. How dare that low rat mess with him like this?"We will take you to the hospital to see her and then you will need to make a statement if that's okay with you," The officer gave Levi a shirt and gave his junior officer a look of disapproval at the infatuated look on her face.She quickly turned away to join the other officers. She had been staring at Levi's bare chest dreamily and was so embarrassed her superior caught her."Hmm," Levi didn't say anything and got into a police van.The commander in chief was already awaiting their arrival and as soon as he got in, the man looked at him apologetically."Mr Lloyd, we assure you Dominique will be locked up for good this time. I don't understand how he got out but he won't be leaving anytim
Levi didn't think Hector would have an answer for this instead and chose to turn to the cops just as one walked up to him."Mr Lloyd, we want to take your statement if it's alright to do so now.""Yes but where is my cousin? He was taken out earlier."Hector's brows furrowed. Even grandfather Hernandez seemed perplexed. When did Levi get a cousin they didn't know of?"Lincoln Lloyd... Where is he? He should be in this hospital too after all some cops carried him out earlier."Hector was stunned. His jaw dropped. Lincoln Lloyd? The same Lincoln Lloyd he knows? How... When... What?!"Brother-in-law, did you just mention Lincoln? The same Lincoln Lloyd of Wales?" He couldn't stop himself from asking in disbelief."Yes, do you know where he is?" Levi's forehead creased with worry and he didn't think much of Hector's reaction."Oh my God!" Hector sprang up. Grandfather Hernandez already understood his reaction and was also in a little bit of disbelief himself.They all know the Lloyd's fam
Brooklyn was asleep and Levi had just carried her out of the bathroom after their steamy session when a knock resounded on the door.He realized that earlier he had forgotten to close the door and was thankful no one had barged in while they were at it.It wouldn't have freaked him but his little wife will definitely shrink in embarrassment that she would want to bury herself.The knock came again and he picked up the shirt he had carelessly tossed on the floor earlier.As he tugged it over himself, he called out, "Come in."It was a guard. Levi didn't recognize him but he knew he had seen him several times working alongside James and was most probably one of Brooklyn's personal guards."Young master, some people are here to see you. I came to ask for your permission.""Who are they?" Levi's brows furrowed. He couldn't think of anyone that would come to visit."They gave their names as Hannah and Diana Campbell.""Let them in," Levi's furrowed brows eased and he waved dismissively.Th
