The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 25 - Conflict of Desires
"You disappoint me, James!" snarled Alexander.Alexander threw James' body violently to the side, hitting the bookshelf and sending thick books falling onto James' body.The burly man left James' study, leaving his son helplessly on the floor.The door to James' study was slammed loudly by Alexander, attracting the attention of everyone in the place without exception.Ruth, who suspected her husband had fought with James, immediately walked away. Selena chose to sit quietly in the living room, reluctant to interfere in Lawrence's family affairs.As the elevator doors opened, Ruth saw Alexander in the elevator with a sharp look on his face. She already knew that Alex had done something terrible to James; the two had no convers
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 26 - Undercover in Eclipse
The next day.Today was James' first day as a staff member at Eclipse. He was already dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, without a suit.The guards began carrying James' stuff to Ruth's lakeside home as the move was underway. Alexander didn't know James was moving, as he had left for his office in the morning for an important meeting."Are you leaving?" James asked.Ruth asked because she saw her son walking across the living room dressed up. James stopped his walk, heading towards his mother, who remained in the room, appearing to be waiting for someone."I'm going to work," James replied.The old woman smiled broadly, stood up, and moved closer to James. Her wrinkled hands rubbed James' shoulders and neatened his shirt."Your job is pretty dangerous. So, be careful," Ruth pleaded.James smiled, taking Ruth's hand gently. From that touch, he could sense that Ruth's love for him was much bigger than Alexander's.<
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 27 - James' Cautious Stance
Unwilling to be noticed by Martin, James went in the other direction, separating himself from the line for lunch. Jayden, who saw James leave, became confused. He called out to the man and asked where he was going."I need to use the restroom," James said simply.The man continued to walk towards a room in the corner of the cafeteria. Martin seemed busy with his tablet, paying no attention to James's presence.James stood before the basin, washing his hands with his eyes focused on the mirror before him. There were only two closed toilet doors; the remaining three were open.He would leave the place if it was safe enough for him. Jayden and Hannah were having lunch without James. The man kept turning his head around, looking for the new staff member."You're his friend, aren't you?" Jayden asked Hannah."You could say that," Hannah replied."Is he a weird guy?" asked Jayden, squinting his eyes."I've known him for a while. It w
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 28 - Past Relation
The party lasted about four hours. Jayden, the man who suggested the party, collapsed first after drinking two medium-sized bottles of beer.Caroline and Tobias had left two hours ago. They left at the same time in Tobias' car, and James watched their departure from the third floor.Iris noticed that James, who was sitting before her, kept watching the two people leave. She spontaneously asked James innocently."Is there something wrong with them?" Iris asked."Nothing. I just admire those who were born lucky into a respected family," James replied."With the wealth they have, they have no reason to be unhappy, right?" asked James, smiling at Iris.Iris sighed, looked to the side
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 29 - Increasing Casualties
Lara's white sedan stopped right near the Rosewood residence. James had asked her to do that so the people in the house wouldn't notice her arrival in a luxury car."Are you sure you're going back to this place? Didn't they always hurt you?" Lara asked.James removed the seatbelt from his body, smiling with his head turned towards Lara, " These days, I often leave the house. I'm just afraid they'll get suspicious."The car door opened, James stepped out carrying his black suitcase. Lara said goodbye, leaving the place as Tobias began to walk towards the back of the house.James entered quietly, preventing the people in the house from finding out. As the door opened, he was met by several maids working in the kitchen, apparently cooking something."James," greeted one of the maids softly."Is there a guest?" asked James, curious.He turned his head towards the living room, where Madame Margaery was sitting on a single sofa, along with
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 30 - Patient's First Symptoms
Riding in a black sedan, James drove away from the Rosewood residence towards the city's main street. St. Park's Hospital was the leading hospital in Newstrand, let alone the Country of Carran.The best doctors in the country were there, dedicating themselves and their knowledge to the people's health.The hospital's operational hours usually start at eight to take care of administration or visiting hours. However, James had his own authority after he went there on behalf of Red Eye agents.His bodyguard was seen digging into the car's dashboard, taking away something from inside. A phone was clutched in his left hand, holding it out to James."A phone?" asked James."Miss Amelia told me to give it to you. She also left a not
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 31 - Laugh of Death
As they watched the DD pill patients, the room door opened and revealed two patients coming in. James and Dave turned their faces, staring at the entrance."Isn't it too early for them to arrive?" asked James."Since the disease spread, no one can predict when the patients will arrive," Dave replied.The middle-aged doctor approached the two patients, their hands and feet shackled by tight ropes attached to the bed.He conducted a brief check-up, such as heart rate, eyeballs, and pain sensitivity in the hands and feet. Even though they were giggling endlessly, they still had painful expressions when Dave pinched them."They seem to be in the early stages. Put them in the seventh room," Dave said.
The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 32 - Trace Destruction
"Lab rats?" the policeman asked, James nodded slowly.James put the glass bottle of DD pills back into the wooden cabinet. He walked over to one of the victims of the drug dealers' cruelty, staring at their lifeless bodies.Not a single one of the five victims was alive. They seemed to have died a few days ago, so their skin and flesh still existed despite the green liquid."Did they die because of this?" the policeman asked."All of them died from an overdose of those pills. If you've never seen the worst of it, they're an example," Tobias replied.Several people came into this place dressed in special suits so tight that masks were placed over their faces. There were seven. Four of them were seen taking care of the dead, th

Chapter 55 - Issac House
Once everything was ready, James, Lara, and Lorenzo stepped out of his study. They went past Amelia and Ruth, who were still confused and anxious about what was happening.They followed James and his two colleagues again, getting into the elevator in turn and then going to the front door of Lawrence's house. Their eyes watched James get into a white sedan."Should I send Lawrence's bodyguards there?" asked Amelia, wanting to help.James stopped what he was doing, standing beside the white sedan whose door was open. His head turned to the left, looking at Amelia and Ruth, who were standing side by side."There's no need. We can handle it," James said."Be careful," said Ruth, looking full of fear.
Chapter 54 - Full Alert
"Oh, I see," James said.He had realized the Carran government would play along with the High Roses. Klaus interrogated Gilbert for seven hours, which was quite a struggle since Gilbert was military man.However, the more he held back, the more painful the torture Klaus gave him. In the fifth hour since the start of the interrogation, Gilbert began to reveal information about the High Roses and the Carran government."They intend to sell the vaccine for 50 Carra," Gilbert replied."That price is too high for the people to afford, especially people from the low middle class," Lara said."The government tried to negotiate the price, but there was no agreement between them," Gilbert said."If that is done, the patients from the poorer will die," James said."Mr. President doesn't really want to negotiate with criminals, but he has no other choice," Gilbert said.James sighed softly. He stepped closer to Lara and the others who wer
Chapter 53 - Treacherous
It was a delicious and enjoyable breakfast, especially in the presence of a loved one. Caroline said the food was delicious, and she wanted to eat again tomorrow; James would gladly accompany her. James glanced at his watch, seeing that it was half past eight in the morning. Caroline had to leave so she wouldn't be late, and so did James. "I'll drive you," Caroline said. "Your office is quite far; it takes twenty minutes to get there," James said. "I can walk. You don't have to worry about me," said James. "Are you sure?" asked Caroline. James cleared his throat and nodded. His right hand lightly rubbed the woman's cheek before him, trying to convince Caroline that the woman

Over the past few days, Caroline's attitude had changed so favorably towards him, even though there were other men trying to win his heart.But Caroline never paid any attention to him. She may have been friendly to him, but Caroline's heart was entirely for James.On the bed, between the two of them, is Edmund, who sleeps peacefully, as if he feels protected. James had never directly interacted with Edmund, but strangely, the boy seemed to feel close to Caroline's husband.
Chapter 51 - Sympathy to Empathy
"No way," said James, unable to hide his surprise when he heard from Thiago that Jayden was an HG."Do you know him?" asked Klaus."He's my coworker. I never thought he was an HG," James said.Klaus nodded. He felt how hard it must have been for James to find out that one of his coworkers he knew was his current enemy.The man walked back to the long sofa. He sat down and placed his phone carelessly on the table, his expression still shocked."A few days earlier, I met with him. He said he had a reliable coworker," Thiago said."I didn't expect it to be you. What an interesting coincidence," Thiago said."SHIT!"
Chapter 50 - The Hands of God
Lorenzo and Lara take Thiago to the second floor of James' lakeside residence. Klaus and Carlos wait on the second floor, preparing to carry out the interrogation of Thiago.From the direction of the stairs, Lorenzo appears, holding both of Thiago's hands. He brought the man upstairs with Thiago's bruised face and body."Welcome, Mr. Thiago," greeted James, standing up as he leaned against his wooden desk."Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?" Thiago asked.James didn't answer that question. Instead, he ordered Lorenzo to place Thiago in the center of the room, sitting with his feet and hands bound.He and Lara began to bind Thiago so the man could not easily escape. Carlos and Klaus sat on a long sofa, staring at
Chapter 49 - Thiago's Arrest
The trio walked from the first floor to the second floor, where the investigation was conducted by James and his colleagues. As time passed, piles of papers and investigation documents filled almost all the tables in the room.Klaus had to admit something: the spy assignment this time was complicated and could take a long time to complete.James also thought the same, especially since the people involved in it were quite a lot with their respective tasks. The man could only hope this mission could be completed before the deadline given by the government, two years.Just as James was looking at the whiteboard with the mission information, his phone rang. James' right hand reached into his trouser pocket, retrieving his phone."Who is it?" asked Klaus, curious.
Chapter 48 - Armed Pursuit
The elevator doors opened; luckily, nobody was in the lobby, so no one saw the pile of unconscious men inside the elevator.James walked out quickly, stepping away from the place as soon as possible. He occasionally looked back, making sure no one was following him."Prime," James said, at once reactivating his AI system that was originally in standby mode.[Prime Activated][Is there something you need, Mr. Lawrence?]"I need you to find the location of Dr. Issac's house. Log in to the Eclipse system and find the address from the database of this place," James ordered.[Command received][Starts accessing Eclipse's local network syste
Chapter 47 - The Master Liar
"Tch! No matter how much I ask, you will always be evasive," Issac said.The middle-aged man complained as he sighed softly. His right hand seemed to be massaging his left temple lightly, trying to ease the headache that was happening in his head in response to something as complicated as this."You are finally starting to understand me, Mr. Issac," James said.Issac fell silent right before James, the man's eyes watching James' movements. Issac sat back in his chair, as did James.He turned his head to the right, telling the two big men in black suits to leave. They, for some reason, obeyed Issac's orders."Let's keep it simple," Issac said."We'll pretend this conversation was n
