"So what do we do now?" one of the men asked, panic rising in his voice."Let's call Raymond," another suggested. "He might find a way to save us."The driver pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Raymond's number. They all waited in tense silence as the phone rang once, twice, three times. Their hopes started to wane as it continued to ring with no answer."Come on, come on," the driver muttered, frustration and fear mingling in his tone. But the ringing persisted, and finally, the call went to voicemail."No reply," the driver said, his voice filled with despair. "Raymond's not picking up.”At that moment, the car Benjamin was in reached the scene. Seeing the kidnappers' car surrounded made him smirk. He got out of the car instantly, holding his pistol tightly in his hand.As Benjamin approached, the men in the surrounding cars also got out, each armed and ready. Recognizing their leader, they immediately saluted him with disciplined precision, their eyes locked on his in silent a
Benjamin's rage was boiling over, his eyes blazing with fury. "Who slapped Cordelia? That's what I want to know," he demanded, his voice icy.The guy accused of lusting over Cordelia quickly pointed at the other one. "It's him! He slapped her!" he said, desperate to shift the blame.The one who had slapped Cordelia gulped, his face paling. "Sir, I'm—"Boom!He couldn't finish his sentence before Benjamin fired a bullet straight into his forehead. The gunshot echoed through the air, and the man's head snapped back, blood spilling onto the ground and splattering on the two kneeling beside him. The man's lifeless body collapsed, his head blown apart."Ahh!" The shocked exclamations came from everyone around, including Rakshasha. He hadn't expected Benjamin to kill the man so swiftly, and even his men, surrounding the area, were taken aback.The two remaining kidnappers stared at their fallen companion, their faces drained of color. They were shivering uncontrollably, trying to suppress t
The two men were shoved into the car, and the door was slammed shut, sealing their fate. Rakshasha's men took their positions, guns aimed and ready to follow Benjamin's orders. The atmosphere was tense, the only sounds were the muffled cries from inside the car. Benjamin raised his hand, the signal clear. "Fire," he commanded coldly. Boom!” Boom!” Boom!” Rakshasha's men unleashed a hail of bullets, targeting the gas tank with precision. The car shuddered under the barrage, metal crumpling and glass shattering as the bullets tore through it. The two men inside screamed in terror, their cries drowned out by the deafening gunfire. Within moments, a bullet found its mark, piercing the gas tank. There was a split second of silence before a massive explosion rocked the area. Boom!” The car was engulfed in a fireball, lifted into the air by the force of the blast. The flames roared hungrily, consuming everything in their path. The car's twisted remains crashed back to the ground, a smo
The door opened, and the nurse walked in, carrying a clipboard. She smiled at Cordelia and Benjamin as she approached the bed. "It's time to remove the drip," she said gently. She carefully removed the IV from Cordelia's arm and placed a small bandage over the spot."You're all set to leave now," the nurse continued. "Make sure to get plenty of rest once you're home. Take it easy for the next few days."Cordelia nodded appreciatively. "Thank you so much.”Benjamin stood up, helping Cordelia off the bed. "Thank you," he echoed, giving the nurse a grateful smile."Take care," the nurse said, watching them as they headed towards the door. "And remember, plenty of rest.""We will," Benjamin assured her as they left the room together.When they got to the main hospital hall where everyone was seated, Benjamin noticed the driver seated among the others. As soon as the driver saw them, he stood up respectfully. "Boss, madam," he greeted, noticing Benjamin's arm wrapped protectively around Co
Benjamin smiled and said, "Let's go now." Cordelia nodded, and together they headed outside, with the happy driver following closely behind.Once they got into the car, the driver glanced at them through the rearview mirror. "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, madam," he said warmly.Benjamin nodded. "Thank you. We're going to the hotel, so drive us there."The driver nodded, "Ok, sir." He started the car and drove away.Inside the car, Benjamin gently guided Cordelia to lay her head on his lap, letting her relax. As her head rested on his lap, she stared at the beautiful diamond ring on her finger, a radiant smile spreading across her face. The car moved smoothly through the city, and Cordelia felt a deep sense of happiness and contentment. As they were driving, Benjamin noticed a place where cars were parked, a showroom side. He asked the driver to reverse and go there.The driver, though curious, respectfully reversed and drove to the car showroom. He parked, and Cordelia rais
Her mom's eyes widened in shock. "Huh? Rose, have you forgotten your anger towards her?" she questioned, trying to sway Rose's opinion. "You can't let her manipulate you." But Rose remained firm. "No, Mom, I haven't forgotten. But Cordelia doesn't deserve the blame for everything. I won't turn my back on her when she needs support.” "What? Rose, have you forgotten if you throw your support to her she will take all the properties? Do you want to go homeless?" Rose sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, Mom. It's legally hers. Her parents own everything. If we had shown her love and not tried to force things on her, everything would have fallen into place." Rhoda looked at her daughter, shocked. "What did that lady give you to drink that's making you say all this nonsense?” "Nothing, she didn't give me anything. I'm just realizing how good she has been. Mom, please, I'm tired. Let me rest," Rose said. Rhoda stood up, frustration evident in her posture. "Rose, don't be foolish. This i
Meanwhile, at the base, Cipherella and the others were still waiting as the name kept loading. They had been waiting for hours."It's at 98%, two more to load for results," Inspector Helen said, her eyes glued to the screen.Cipherella nodded. "Let's hope it leads us to what we're actually looking for."The search kept loading as they waited anxiously for feedback on the person named Lars Johansen.After about 30 minutes, the loading bar finally reached 100%. Instantly, the information began displaying on the screen.Helen exclaimed, "Hey, it's loading!"They all rushed to gather around the monitor. Thousands of pictures flashed rapidly across the screen, each one appearing for only a fraction of a second. Then, suddenly, the rapid succession of images stopped, and a single picture remained on the screen with the name "Lars Johansen" displayed underneath.Lars Johansen had a neat, well-groomed face. He was dressed in a suit, exuding the air of a refined businessman. His beard was meti
Immediately, the driver called him. "Also, the lady I went for the phone from asked if I knew where you both were. She was talking about Rose."Benjamin nodded. "Did you tell her?"The driver shook his head. "No, I just told her you gave me the instructions and that you would give me the location to meet you."Benjamin nodded. "Alright, thanks." He turned around and walked away, heading back into the hotel.He made his way through the lobby, up the elevator, and back to their suite. Entering the room quietly, he saw Cordelia still peacefully asleep. He placed her phone and the bag with clothes on the nearby table and sat down, waiting for her to wake up.Ding!”The doorbell rang through the room. The sound made Cordelia who was asleep, eyes flutter open, she sat down and yawned lightly before she saw Benjamin standing there, already dressed. She sat up, rubbing her eyes, and said, "Hey, you're awake."Benjamin walked over, sat beside her, and kissed her gently. "Good morning," he said
