Adorjan could only surrender to his situation. He could not fight Carlos, or else the bullet would destroy his head.After rejecting the call from Master Leonardo, Carlos slammed Adorjan's cellphone and stepped on it until it broke.Adorjan could only grimace angrily, seeing his cellphone destroyed. Carlos did this so that Adorjan could not ask for help from anyone."After destroying my phone, now you can kill me," said Adorjan in a cold voice, but he was just being sarcastic. Inside he was shivering.Carlos huffed. "If Master has given me the order to kill you now, I will gladly do it," he replied.Roughly, Carlos pulled Adorjan's body, and they got out of the house. With one hand still entangled in Adorjan's body, Carlos opened the car trunk and took a rope from there.He used the rope to tie Adorjan's hands. "Follow me into the car!" he snapped while pulling Adorjan's hand.Adorjan who was helpless was forced to obey Carlos's order.Carlos drove the car away from the house. On the
The smiles on the couple’s faces instantly faded. The wife looked at her husband expectantly. Not wanting to disappoint his little family, the man tried to cover up his situation.“Thank you, nurse; I will immediately take care of the administration for my wife,” he replied with a small smile.The wife interrupted. “I know your true situation, hubby. I know that our money has been used up to pay off debts, so there is nothing left to pay the hospital bills.”Her gaze shifted to the nurse. “Nurse, can you give us some more time? Maybe not today, but we will pay off all the hospital bills. For now, we don’t have enough money,” the wife explained.“I regret to inform you that if you can’t pay the hospital bills, then you can’t take your baby home,” the nurse replied with a sad tone.In the midst of the tense atmosphere, Arnold interrupted the conversation. “Nurse, I’m the one who will pay the bills,” he declared.“Please don’t do this, sir. Let me go back to work, and I will pay the hosp
“I mean, Angela Brooks, young master. I saw her picture when you asked me to find out about her, and she looks like you,” Charles added.Arnold was stunned. It turned out that he wasn’t the only one who felt that Angela looked like him. Even his assistant thought the same.“Who knows, she might really be your wife in the future,” Alastair chimed in with a chuchkle.When Arnold was about to respond, suddenly a scream was heard echoing throughout the room. Their gazes were drawn towards the door, and they saw Carlos beating a man.Adorjan fell to the floor with his hands tied.Seeing that, the trio immediately approached them. Carlos approached Adorjan, and he pulled his collar.Driven by anger, Carlos rained down many blows on Adorjan until blood flowed from his nose and the corners of his lips.Adorjan lay limp on the floor. The four men stood around him. Even though he had received many blows, his vision was still clear.Adorjan looked at the faces surrounding him, and he didn’t reco
A sly grin appeared on Adorjan’s lips. He was sure that Leonardo Biffle would easily defeat them.He typed Leonardo’s phone number, and before his finger could press the “call” button, Arnold’s voice distracted his gaze.“Wait, Carlos. What happened between you and him? Who is the person he wants to call?” Arnold asked curiously. Adorjan snorted. He stared at Arnold with an intimidating gaze. He put his trust in Leonardo.“Before he caught me, I had warned him that I was under the protection of Leonardo Biffle, a ruthless mafia in New York,” Adorjan said while glancing at Carlos. He continued. “And as a consequence, because you have caught me, you have to face the mafia!” he exclaimed.Instead of being afraid, Arnold chuckled. Adorjan frowned at Arnold’s relaxed reaction.Everyone in New York must have goosebumps just by hearing Leonardo Biffle’s name. Then why could Arnold be so casual in responding to him?“Hey, where are you from? I guess you’re not from New York, so you don’t kno
Alastair and Carlos moved forward to attack the 4 men. Meanwhile, Charles stood near Adorjan because he did not have the same self-defense skills as Arnold's 2 bodyguards.In the midst of the tense atmosphere, Adorjan spoke. "What are you doing here? Are you afraid?" he teased Charles.Charles snorted; he replied in a haughty tone. "They will easily defeat those clowns. It's not my job to fight."Arnold and Leonardo exchanged sharp glances. Leonardo stepped forward and launched an attack on Arnold.His hard punch hit Arnold's face."Master," Charles exclaimed in worry.The punch sounded so hard that people who witnessed the scene must have thought that Arnold's face would definitely be swollen.Unlike their expectations, when Arnold straightened his body, it was seen that the punch did not cause any reaction on his face.His skin remained smooth, not even the slightest bruise. Leonardo and Adorjan were taken aback seeing Arnold, who could not be injured.Adorjan's mind immediately foc
Elizabeth's frown deepened. Her curiosity grew. “What about Carlos and Alastair? Aren’t they the ones who are tasked with protecting Arnold?” she asked.“They did their job well, madam. But with his new abilities, the young master doesn’t need their help anymore. He can protect himself.”Although this news sounded good, Elizabeth wanted to hear Arnold’s explanation himself. She ended the call and turned to her grandson.Arnold had just arrived at his hotel room when his cell phone rang. He took it out of his pants pocket, then sat down on the sofa.“Grandma?” Arnold murmured.The call was connected.“Good evening, my beloved grandson. How are you doing there, honey?” Elizabeth asked in a soft voice.A smile appeared on Arnold’s lips hearing his grandmother’s warm voice.“I’m fine, Grandma. How about you and Uncle James?” Arnold replied.“We are both fine. It’s not even been a week since you left for the United States, and we already miss you. We can’t wait for you to come home,” he sa
“I just wanted to talk to my girlfriend, but this man has the audacity to block me!” Adorjan protested.“I didn’t bring you here to touch Angela, but I want you to kneel down and apologize to her,” Arnold replied with annoyance on his face.“I will, but first let me hug her,” Adorjan insisted.The police released their grip on Adorjan’s hand and allowed the man to approach Angela. Arnold also moved out of Adorjan’s way.Adorjan and Angela stared at each other. When tears were about to fall from her eyes, Angela immediately looked away.Seeing Angela shed tears, Adorjan was about to wipe them, but suddenly she slapped his hand away.“Don’t touch me!” snapped her. She wiped her tears and put on a strong face. She was sad not because she missed Adorjan, but she was sad because of his cruel actions towards her.“But why? Don’t you miss me?” Adorjan gasped in response.She snorted. A bitter smile appeared on her face. “Why would I miss someone who sold me to a thug just for money? That was
“Angela, why are you so pessimistic before trying? There is no harm in trying to apply for a job there. No one will look down on you,” Arnold stated with a serious expression.“But—”“No reason, Angela. I’ll send you an email address, and then send your CV there." Arnold ordered.Angela nodded hesitantly. “Okay, I will try. Thank you for supporting me.”Meanwhile, in another place, Jonas was in a restaurant in a hotel. He rubbed his heavy head. He had sent his CV to several companies, but he had not received any response.While thinking about this, Jonas suddenly remembered Arnold.“Arnold, where is that guy? I haven’t seen him since yesterday. I don’t even know which room he is staying in,” he muttered.Jonas scrolled through the messaging app, and he opened his chat box with Arnold. Last night he had sent his CV to Arnold and only received a reply in the form of a thumbs-up emoticon.“I’m not sure about his advice. How could he suggest me to apply for a job at The Winster Group?
