"I actually didn't mean to disappear from anywhere. I was trying to calm down," Chef Hanna said in response to Mr. Ken's question. Chef Hanna, Mr. Ken, and Benyard were already walking through the yard towards the entrance of the house. Hearing Chef Hanna's words, Mr. Ken sighed heavily."I know that incident must have hit you hard. Besides, how could they accuse you without knowing the truth?" Mr. Ken grumbled. Chef Hanna just chuckled at Mr. Ken's answer."I understand they must not want to be close to someone who is in trouble. That's why they stay away.""But they also spread bad news about you. They didn't just stay away from you," Mr. Ken replied.Benyard was listening to Mr. Ken and Chef Hanna's conversation seriously. Although the look on his face showed the confusion of not understanding the situation. In addition, Benyard remembered several devices installed in several corners of the yard wall. Benyard couldn't really see clearly what the devices were, but he suspected th
"Benyard, you can't keep dodging! The reporters and journalists are waiting for clarification on your embezzlement allegations!" said Daniel, who entered Benyard's private office in a panic.Benyard was behind his desk. He was reading an article that was displayed on the PC screen."I didn't expect Jackson to take action so soon," Benyard replied calmly.Daniel almost gawked as he saw that Benyard did not show any panic at all. For a split second, Daniel just looked at Benyard as if the man was really strange.Even Benyard just propped up his chin and scrolled the PC screen expressionlessly.News of Benyard's alleged embezzlement of company funds had spread quickly. Three days ago Robert, the manager of Benyard's company finance division was detected embezzling company funds.Then, not knowing how there was a transfer of a large amount of money into Benyard's account. The amount of money that initially did not know where it came from.At the same time, Benyard's company cash flow beca
The sound of Benyard's steps echoed in the hallway of the prison cells. Benyard remained silent as he walked with both hands cuffed. The two men on his right and left repeatedly pressed the password every time he passed through the gate.After walking through four security gates, Benyard finally arrived at a dead-end cell hallway. Benyard's steps were directed towards one of the detention cells."This is your place. You must be able to adapt to the other inmates," said one of the prison guards beside Benyard.Benyard immediately nodded his head. As soon as the door to the room opened to reveal the other four inmates, both eyebrows shot up.Benyard was a bit creeped out after witnessing the four other inmates looking fierce. One of the inmates looked very muscular and his right arm was covered in tattoos.Benyard's arrival made the four inmates in the room pay very intense attention. They looked sarcastically at him.The door then closed and locked from the outside. Leaving a silent an
"Mr. Leonar, I didn't expect you to return to New York. How did you know I was here?" asked Benyard once he was in Mr. Leonar's presence.After the letter sent by Mr. Leonar was received by Benyard a few moments ago, Mr. Leonar arranged a meeting with Benyard. In the afternoon, Mr. Leonar was waiting to meet Benyard in the inmate visiting room.Mr. Leonar curved his warm, formal smile."I expected you to be surprised. You know, after I heard about your embezzlement case two days ago, I booked a flight to New York," Mr. Leonar replied.Benyard did not know whether he should be happy or not. Because on the other hand Benyard felt uncomfortable because he had made Mr. Leonar come to New York."Is your work done, Mr. Leonar? You shouldn't have booked a flight and gone home early," Benyard replied rather awkwardly.Mr. Leonar chuckled at Benyard's remark."I must return quickly to New York to confirm the news of the embezzlement case, Benyard," said Mr. Leonar.Benyard frowned without bein
"What guarantees me to be able to help you?""If you mean a high price, I cannot give you that much. But if you want to witness victory, then I can give you something that satisfies you, Mr. Leonar.""If you are so sure, I would like to witness what you mean by 'satisfying'. I always like things that are challenging."Benyard tapped his fingers on the dining table as he silently thought about his conversation with Mr. Leonar. Benyard was still trying to play back the memories of his and Mr. Leonar's conversation.For some reason Benyard had no appetite for the prison food in front of him. It was now dinner time. There were many inmates gathered in this dining room.Benyard, on the other hand, was trying to think about their conversation. He didn't know why Mr. Leonar had given him the information."Is Mr. Leonar up to something with me?" asked Benyard, muttering.Benyard thought of many possibilities in his brain. There were only bad possibilities spinning in his brain. On the other h
"Who are you?" asked Benyard with a serious look at the man before him.Before the man could answer Benyard's question, he had already read the name on the name tag. The words 'Andrean M' were quite clear.Benyard's eyes rose to the face of the man named Andrean. Benyard watched with some intensity. All of his goosebumps instantly bristled after the"That's right. You are the new resident inmate of this place. I should introduce myself..." Andrean took a step closer to Benyard, he placed one hand on Benyard's right shoulder."...I am Andrean Monicculo, the respected leader of almost all the inmates here. I manage all the business that goes on with everyone, and I have connections with some of the prison guards."Benyard raised his eyebrows after hearing Andrean's words. It took him a while of watching Andrean's gestures to finally guess that the man before him was narcissistic. Without flinching, Benyard curved a small smile. He was interested in what Andrean had to say."Hello, gre
"I don't want to fight with someone right now," said Benyard, who spoke with disdain.Andrean looked at the two other men on his right and left. They were both laughing at Benyard. Just from the look on their faces, it was obvious that they were looking down on Benyard."I don't understand why you're so sensitive, Benyard Owlen. Oh, c'mon! We just want to play around for a bit!" Andrean chuckled as he clapped his hands twice. He was trying to persuade Benyard.Benyard looked at Andrean very lazily. Why did Andrean seem so eager to provoke him?"Is he always like that?" Benyard asked Jonsen a question.Jonsen grimaced a bit as he didn't know how or what to answer. If he showed himself mocking Andrean even if it was only implied, then he would suffer the consequences of his actions.On the other hand, Jonsen also didn't want a fight between the two of them.So Jonsen approached Benyard's ear with a worried glance at Andrean. Jonsen was trying to separate the fight, he couldn't provoke o
"Hey, Benyard. How are you doing in this place?" Daniel, who had come to see Benyard at the prison, asked with a worried tone and expression.Benyard watched Daniel for a few moments. He sat on his back with his arms folded across his chest. He knew Daniel would come to visit him today. Therefore, he couldn't help but smile."I knew you would come to see me," replied Benyard, who looked at Daniel very seriously."Benyard. I don't know why you can never be serious," Daniel said in response. He let out a long breath. Benyard arched an amused smile. He could already guess that Daniel would be very annoyed by his words."I'm just greeting you and giving you the answer to your question," Benyard replied while raising his eyebrows.Daniel frowned. "So, are you okay?""I can't confirm that as an absolute answer. I've only been here for one night, Daniel. But after just one night, I found some things that caught my attention."Hearing Benyard's words, Daniel then felt his interest arise. Da
