Chapter 502: Jacobs Death
As Raymond rushed out into the open driveway, his hands still shaking, he pressed the car remote—beep-beep—unlocking his vehicle.“Move! Get in the cars—now!” he snapped sharply at the security men stationed nearby.They immediately straightened, sensing the urgency in his voice.“Sir, what’s wrong?” one of them asked.“No questions,” Raymond barked, already pulling the driver’s door open. “Just follow me.”The security exchanged quick looks, then hurried to their own vehicles.Raymond jumped into his car, slammed the door shut, and fired up the engine. His chest was still pounding violently as he shifted into gear.The gates opened.Without waiting another second, Raymond drove out at speed, tires screeching slightly as he accelerated onto the road.Behind him, two security cars followed closely.Meanwhile, the news spread like wildfire across the country.Television screens switched to breaking reports. News tickers rolled nonstop. Phones buzzed endlessly with alerts.“Billionaire
Chapter 501: The Accident
A sudden jolt of clarity hit him.The brakes.Jacob’s eyes widened in panic. With shaking legs, he slammed his foot down on the brake pedal.Nothing.The car didn’t slow.His heart lurched violently.“No—no, no!” he gasped, stomping the brakes again. Harder. Again. Again.Still nothing.The speedometer kept climbing as the highway rushed toward him like a tunnel of light and shadow.“What the—what the fuck?” Jacob cried, his voice breaking. “Oh my God… oh my God!”He pumped the brakes desperately, his whole body trembling now.“They’re not working—why aren’t they working?!” he shouted, panic fully taking over.His mind spiraled.The water.The dizziness.The heat.The timing.Benjamin’s calm voice echoed in his head, crystal clear now:You are going to die… but not directly now.Jacob’s breath came out in ragged sobs.“Benjamin…” he whispered hoarsely, terror flooding his face. “You did this… didn’t you?”His vision doubled again. The road twisted. His hands slipped on the steering wh
Chapter 500: Jacob Freed
Benjamin chuckled softly, almost amused.“What do you think?” he asked.Jacob gulped hard, then forced himself to speak.“You know that if you kill me,” he said carefully, “based on who I am—the head of the Hansen family, a family worth billions—it will attract attention. The feds will look into it. The FBI might even step in if they find me dead somewhere.”Benjamin nodded slowly.“That is right,” he said. He chuckled again, darker this time. “You’re smarter than I thought.”Jacob’s heart pounded.“But,” Benjamin continued calmly, “you are going to die. Just not directly by my hand.”Jacob’s eyes widened.“What… what do you mean by that?” he asked, panic creeping into his voice. “Are you going to let one of your men kill me?”Benjamin shook his head.“No,” he said simply. “You are going to die—but not now. And not here.”
Chapter 499
Jacob’s lips trembled. He swallowed again, his voice barely steady as he answered.“I… I knew it wouldn’t stay buried forever,” he admitted hoarsely. “Things like that—things that big—they don’t disappear. They wait.”He clenched his hands together, knuckles white.“Daniel Winslow was powerful. His wife too. Even after their deaths, their shadows were everywhere. I kept telling myself it was safe, that enough years had passed… but deep down, I knew someone would come asking questions one day.”He looked up at Benjamin, fear naked in his eyes.“So when I heard people were digging, I panicked,” Jacob continued. “I didn’t want to fight—I wanted to know how close they were. How much they knew. I was trying to protect myself.”Benjamin’s smile faded.He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, the pistol now lying calmly between his fingers.“Why did you kill them?” he asked quietly.The room felt colder.Jacob said nothing.His eyes dropped to the floor, his jaw tightening. Second

Chapter 498: Jacob meets Benjamin
About an hour later, the car finally slowed… then came to a complete stop. The engine was turned off. Jacob’s heart skipped. The door beside him opened, cold air brushing his face. Hands gripped his arm again and pulled him out. “Careful,” Jacob muttered instinctively, his voice hoarse. “Where are we?” No answer. They guided him forward. His shoes scraped against the floor as he was led through what felt like a corridor, then another door opened. The air inside was cooler, heavier. “Sit.” Jacob was pushed down onto a chair. It creaked softly under his weight. Moments later, he heard footsteps moving away, then stopping right in front of him. A calm, amused voice spoke. “Jacob Halden.” Jacob stiffened. Benjamin sat directly in front of him, relaxed, one leg crossed over the other, a wide, unsettling smile on his face. A pistol rested loosely in his hand, as though it were nothing more than an accessory. Behind him stood Rakshasha, arms folded, flanked by severa
