Shawn opened his eyes wide. He glanced at his phone. The news had left him in disbelief. “Rachel gave birth?”Alex turned around in shock. He couldn't believe he was hearing something like that at such a crucial time. In a tense moment like this, suddenly there was good news sticking out. It looked like this was going to be serious.Shawn caught his breath. “Where is she? Who is this?”The person on the other end of the line sensed Shawn's tension. “I'm Esther, one of Mrs. Rachel's servants. Mrs. Rachel is now at the hospital--”Shawn opened his eyes to look ahead. He saw that the person wearing the black bennie was pointing at him and glaring at him. Shawn needed to hide his current situation, so that Rachel would not worry. “I'm on my way home on the plane. Stay strong, Rachel. I'll catch up--”As soon as Shawn said that, his cell phone was grabbed by one of the men with a gun. He immediately slammed the phone into pieces.Then he pointed his uzi at Shawn, making him raise his hand.
“I chose the second option.” Shawn said softly.[Option 2 chosen!][Use your negotiation skills to survive!][Reward if you succeed: $???]Shawn glanced at the reward section. Again, Shawn would get an unknown prize. However, the prize was definitely money.Shawn thought that there must be certain variables that would determine how much money he would get. This required Shawn to perform the mission very carefully.Shawn's attention was drawn to Alex because of the long breath Alex exhaled. Alex tasted his saliva. “Young Master, you've been watching these perpetrators calmly. You're not planning anything stupid, are you?”Shawn didn't answer immediately. Instead, he changed the direction of his gaze to the perpetrators one by one. “You're too late to stop me, Alex. Whatever I'm going to do later, don't panic. It would be better if you also pretended not to recognize me at all.”Alex wrinkled his forehead. “Young Master, are you really going to do something?”Shawn hissed through his mo
“You...” the masked man glared at Alex. He had never met anyone who wasn't afraid of his weapon. However, Alex was boldly defiant.When the man tried to move the gun away from Alex's forehead, Alex held it back to keep it away from his forehead. “Oh... you're not going to do that. You may perforate my head, an innocent man. However, when you do that, take my young master to safety. Do you understand, young man?”The person wearing the bennie furrowed his brows when he saw the person pointing the gun at Alex. “Harry! What are you doing?”Harry swallowed. “Captain Jordan! This guy won't comply!”Harry jerked the gun away from Alex's head. However, Alex was still holding the gun against his forehead. “Oh, young man. Why are you turning your weapon in the other direction. Your target is right here. Kill me and save Young Master. Do it quickly!”Harry didn't know what had happened to this old man. I don't know what kind of power he had, but he managed to make him tremble. The courage of a
Jordan glanced over while narrowing her eyes. His brain kept wondering who Shawn really was. “It's impossible for an ordinary person to have this much power. His abilities are beyond reason. What's more, he was able to figure out that we were military soldiers. I'm sure he must be someone from the special forces.”Jordan smiled slightly. “Great... you were able to figure us out. You even tried to make a negotiation. Is it really a negotiation when the end of a gun barrel is pressed against my face?”Shawn tilted his head. He looked at Jordan's four friends who were pointing guns from a distance. “Same to you, your men are also pointing those Uzis at me.”Shawn looked into Jordan's eyes from the side again. "My hunch is that my body will have a lot of holes if I keep this gun away from your face." Jordan nodded lightly. "Well then, who are you? Not many people get to know who we really are. Are you someone from the special forces?" Shawn narrowed his eyes. Apparently Jordan didn't take
Jordan was silent. He looked at his colleagues. His colleagues frowned.Shawn took a deep breath. Shawn then dropped the uzi gun. "Now it's your choice, Jordan. Are you going to keep scaring them with guns and bombs that are probably fake, or do it my way. Where you, your comrades, and the fallen can get their due?"Jordan was silent for a moment. Then he turned to his comrades. "Everyone! Gather weapons now! We will land according to this ship's schedule."Hearing that, Harry immediately approached while glaring at Jordan. "Captain! We can't do that! Look at all this, we've come this far, are you going to let it go to waste?"Jordan shook his head. "Harry, just follow my orders. Gather the weapons here."Harry couldn't accept the decision given by Jordan. He immediately pointed the gun at Shawn's face. "Is this because of her influence? She's trying to manipulate you, Captain!"Shawn, who saw the gun to his head, wasn't afraid of being pointed at like that. Although Shawn didn't know
News spread quickly. The world immediately knew how rotten the Veldamara government was. They condemned the Veldamara government for not providing welfare to the families of the war victims. In fact, they also monopolized all the resources to produce oil, without paying the workers a decent wage.This was seen internationally, and some Veldamara ministers even resigned in shame. Now the demonstrations in Veldamara are getting bigger to demand the rights of the soldiers. And the catalyst for all this courage was Shawn.Shawn himself wasn't even in Veldamara now. He was now standing beside Rachel, looking at a small creature that had just discovered the world. His soft, red skin looked so weak. It made Shawn feel like protecting him.Shawn touched the cheek of the sleeping baby with his finger. Until the baby moved slightly. “Look at him... he looks just like you, Rachel.”Shawn smiled. He felt proud of the baby. For some reason, his chest seemed to open wide, accepting the presence of
“Hi, Damian... Me, mama. Me, mama.” Rachel smiled playfully at the baby in the stroller. It was about a month after Rachel gave birth to the baby. Shawn and Rachel agreed to name the little man Damian Hubert.Shawn and Rachel's parents smiled happily. It was rare for them to see Rachel so excited like this. It was very different from her old life when Rachel was still managing the Queen Anubis company.Today, Rachel seems to be the perfect woman in Shawn's eyes. After becoming a mother, she seemed softer and sweeter. Shawn didn't expect that the love he had for her became even greater when Rachel became a mother.If you remember, even back then Shawn didn't like Rachel at all when he first met her. She was just a rich woman who was very rude and did whatever she wanted. However, now everything feels different. Rachel and Damian were everything to Shawn.Rachel's father came closer to Shawn. Then he patted Shawn on the shoulder. “I know how you feel. I felt the same way when I saw Vere
“Why, Rachel? I'm happy for Damian's achievement. Isn't it great that Damian owns a yacht?” Rachel's mother smiled broadly with round eyes. The smile was so insincere that it made Rachel feel uncomfortable.Rachel wrinkled her forehead. “Mom, it's Damian's. Not mine. You can't think of using it for your own purposes.”Rachel had read deeply into her mother's head. After all, Rachel had lived with them for 23 years, of course she had memorized her mother's temperament who could not stand luxury items.Verena smiled until her teeth showed. She did not answer anything and continued to look until her eyes did not blink. In fact, Rachel would feel embarrassed for Darius if her parents behaved like this.Rachel had enough pressure to feel that the person she had contracted to marry was greater than Rachel herself. In addition, the DNA test on Damian has also not been done. There was no concrete proof that Damian was Shawn's biological son. Rachel's mind would have been overwhelmed if things
