Chapter 505: At the Restaurant
Soon enough, Cordelia slowed the car and pulled into the parking lot of the place she had in mind.She parked, turned off the engine, and they both got down.Benjamin stretched his shoulders slightly as he stepped out, then waited for her, instinctively falling into step beside her. Cordelia locked the car and glanced up at him.“Here,” she said quietly. “This place.”Benjamin nodded. “Looks good.”The restaurant sat back from the road, broad and solid, the kind of place that didn’t need flashing signs to announce itself. Its frontage was wide, with a low overhang stretching across the entrance and soft yellow lights tucked beneath it. Cars moved in and out steadily. You could tell it was popular.As they walked in, the space opened up immediately.It wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t quiet either. Plates clinked, cutlery scraped lightly, and voices overlapped in relaxed conversation. The smell of food hit first—grilled meat, spices, something creamy simmering somewhere deeper inside.Inside
Chapter 504: Are U Behind Jacobs Death?
Marshall nodded slowly, frowning as the thought settled in.“That’s right,” he said aloud. “Wasn’t he with any security at all? No driver… nothing?”The unease in the compound deepened.Raymond turned to his sister, his voice strained. “Sis… you and Dad work in the same office. Why was he alone? Why would he do that?”Shulamite lifted her tear-streaked face and shook her head slowly. “I asked,” she said quietly. “I questioned them too.”She swallowed hard before continuing. “They told me Daddy said he wanted to drive alone. He said he needed to check something himself, that it wouldn’t take long.”Her voice broke. “So he went alone.”A hush fell over the group.“The body has already been taken for autopsy,” Shulamite added softly. “They said the results will be out soon.”Nearby, the old butler remained silent, his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes drifted briefly to Benjamin—sharp, searching—before lowering again.What kind of game is this young man playing? he wondered.Benjam
Chapter 503
About half an hour later, Benjamin’s phone rang again.He answered calmly.“Master,” Cipherella’s voice came through, confident and satisfied. “It’s done.”Benjamin leaned back slightly. “Report.”“I’ve cut all relevant feeds,” she said smoothly. “Every branch the police might trace—traffic systems, private cameras, auxiliary backups—gone or rewritten.”She continued, precise and proud of her work.“If investigators try to reconstruct Jacob’s route, they won’t get anywhere. I duplicated the vehicle’s digital signature and rerouted it through a false path, a clean, believable drive that leads nowhere meaningful.”Benjamin’s eyes narrowed slightly in approval.“It looks like the car simply went off toward a normal district,” Cipherella added. “No dead ends. No suspicious gaps. No overlap with the real location. Time stamps are aligned, traffic density matches, and the route blends naturally with routine night movement.”She paused briefly.“Even if they suspect manipulation,” she said c
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.”
