Arnold huffed. His foot pressed harder on the man's chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. "How dare you tell me to get out of here!" he shouted.The man's hands tried to remove Arnold's foot from his chest, but it felt too heavy for him. His breath hitched, and cold sweat poured down his face. He was on the verge of death if Arnold kept his foot on his chest."P-please," he begged in a weak voice.Arnold quickly moved his foot. The man's breathing began to improve; he stared at Arnold with a vengeful gaze."I don't want to leave here, but you and those useless people must get out of here!" Arnold stated firmly."But—" The man wanted to speak, but Arnold interrupted him."I don't see any logical reason for all of you to stay here! I don't care if this is your headquarters, because you have committed a crime against a woman. This is your retribution!" Arnold exclaimed as he pointed his finger, making the man's mouth shut in fear."Don't lie down here like an idiot, and get out
“What did you find out about her, Charles?” Arnold asked as he frowned.Charles turned his gaze to Arnold. “Angela Brooks is 23 years old. She attended The Greenwood University, but she dropped out in her second year. She works as a cashier at a fast food restaurant, Super Fried Chicken.” He sighed before continuing. “And we’re looking into her family information, but unfortunately Miss Brooks is an orphan.”“What?” Arnold was taken aback. He looked at Angela’s face with pity. “Then we better take her to the hospital now!” he ordered.Carlos lifted Angela’s body and carried her into the car. After they were all in the car, they drove off to the hospital.Within a kilometer, there was the most expensive hospital in the city. As Arnold ordered, Charles drove his car towards the hospital.Upon arriving at the hospital, the 4 men decided not to all get out of the car. The trio were wearing formal attire that would only attract unwanted attention from people.So they decided that only Arno
Arnold chuckled at Angela's reaction. He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. "Hmm, sorry. I didn't know if this hospital was the most expensive one in this city. What was in my mind was this is the closest hospital to the thug's house," he answered with a small smile.Angela furrowed her eyebrows; she stared at Arnold sharply. "Are you a tourist?"He nodded. "Yes, I'm from Italy."Angela sighed heavily while rubbing her head. "No wonder.""Oh my God, how do I pay the bill at this hospital?" she grumbled.A spoon filled with food approached her mouth. Angela's gaze shifted to Arnold, who was pointing the spoon at her.Arnold raised his eyebrows, signaling her to eat the food. But Angela just pushed the food away."I'm sorry, Arnold. I don't have an appetite. After knowing that I'm in this hospital, I better think of a way to get money to pay my bills," she replied while looking away from Arnold. Mirthless was clearly visible on her face.“Hey Angela, you don’t have to worry about this
Arnold nodded hesitantly. “Yes, he is still alive,” he answered shortly.Angela’s curiosity increased. Her gaze became more intense. “Really? So the heir to the Winster family is now his grandson?”The silence atmosphere paused their conversation for a moment because Arnold just kept quiet and didn’t answer right away. Angela stared at Arnold, waiting for his answer.While shaking his head, Arnold answered. “Hmm, I don’t know about that, Angela. I’m not really interested in the Winster family’s life.” His tone seemed to indicate a desire to end this topic of conversation.She nodded in understanding, then lay down on the bed.“Angela.” Arnold’s voice distracted her gaze.Angela stared at Arnold without responding verbally.“You haven’t told me why you ended up in that thug’s house. May I know, if you don’t mind?” Arnold asked with genuine concern.Before starting to tell her story, she took a deep breath. Tears seemed to be wetting her eyes, remembering the dark scene.“My boyfriend h
“Bring him before me, dead or alive!” The figure’s commanding voice echoed throughout the room.A servant respectfully bowed his body before the figure. “Alright, Master. I assure you that he won’t get away.”In a dimly lit room, a man was sitting on a chair. Two servants were beside him, swinging fans at him. Their gazes were downcast, showing fear and respect for the dominant figure.Not long after the servants left the room, the voice of a man’s screams shrieked in the air. The gazes of the master and his servants turned towards the door, where a man who was being whipped stepped into the room.SHEESH!The whip landed again on his back, creating a red line that bled blood on his skin. He screamed in pain, and suddenly his body collapsed.“Arghh!”The whipper glared at him angrily. “What are you doing, you fool?” he snapped. “Don’t pretend to be weak because your act will be useless!”But the man was still curled up on the floor. His breath hitched and his eyes closed.“Is he really
In the next morning, the voices of two people arguing filled a room in a hospital in New York City.“Come on Angela, tell me what Adorjan Jackson looks like,” Arnold implored as he looked at Angela expectantly. He had been urging her since last night, but she seemed adamant about covering up the case.Angela stuck to her guns from the start. She shook her head.“I said no! Arnold, you should know that this is not something you can take lightly. Besides, why insist on taking revenge on him? Isn’t the reason you came to New York because your boss sent you on a business trip? Then why are you busy taking care of something that is not your domain?” Angela exclaimed. Worry and indignation mixed in her gaze.Arnold fell silent for a moment. Angela and Adorjan’s problem was indeed none of his business. But knowing that Adorjan was linked to a mafia in this city made this problem automatically his business. His late grandfather had eradicated the mafia and helped the weak.Arnold was determin
With a hint of excitement, Jonas asked. “Are you serious?”Arnold nodded as he assured. “Yes, there is a big company in New York that is looking for competent candidates. You can send me your CV and resume. After that, they will check it and consider you,” he explained.Jonas furrowed his brows. A little doubt in his mind, but he trusted Arnold.“Okay, we should have each other’s phone numbers. I will send you my CV and resume.” They took out their phones and exchanged phone numbers.After getting Arnold’s number, Jonas asked. “You said that there is a big company that is opening a job vacancy. Can you tell me the name of the company?”“The Winster Group,” Arnold answered briefly.Jonas’ jaw dropped. Just hearing the name of the company made his guts shrink.“You better be kidding. Applying for a job at a company like The Winster Group will only waste my time. I’m sure they will reject me right away,” he spoke pessimistically.Arnold looked at Jonas while snorting. “So you’re indirect
Charles rage escalated. He snapped at the security guard. “How dare you do that to him? Do you know what you’ve done could get you fired from your job this second?”The security guard shrank in fear. He lowered his gaze pleadingly. “Sir, I was just doing my job. That man insisted on entering the lobby, so I only took action to prevent him from entering,” he explained in his defense.Charles snorted. “On whose orders did you dare to do this to him? I didn’t even tell you to kick him out!” Indignation was palpable in his tone.He approached Arnold and extended his hand to his master. Arnold got up from his fall, and he stared at the security guard with resentment.Seeing Charles’ friendly attitude towards Arnold, the security guard immediately regretted his arrogant actions. He cursed himself for his reckless actions.“I’ll make sure that when you leave this building, that idiot won’t be here anymore,” Charles whispered reassuringly.Arnold nodded, agreeing with Charles’ action of firin
