The apartment looked fancy and large, but it was nothing as compared to the Hawthorne mansion.

Ferdinand had gotten his two vehicles delivered by duke from the Hawthorne mansion. He was ready to drive to school today.

Ferdinand Hawthorne had always been a mystery to his classmates at Berkeley University.

He was known as the quiet, studious guy who kept to himself and never seemed to care about material possessions.

But on this particular day, as his Rolls-Royce pulled up onto the campus grounds, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

Kyle, Ferdinand's loyal driver, stepped out of the car and opened the door for him. As Ferdinand emerged from the luxurious vehicle, he was met with a chorus of gasps and whispers.

We're off duty now. Sit down and free yourself up. You deserve a break."As if on cue, a waitress approached their table, balancing a tray laden with steaming Chinese dishes and a bottle of wine.

"Because being associated with you makes us look bad," Nicole added, her expression cold and calculated.Enraged by their shallow reasoning, Serah's emotions erupted. "Backstabbers!

And you?" responded Blake politely."I slept well too," she responded.Since Blake would be living as a guest at Cynthia's home, he decided to be helpful. "Do you need any help?" he inquired. "Oh, I'm just finishing up here, but if you'd like, you could join me at the pig farm," Cynthia suggested."Sure,"Blake smiled.As they entered, they were greeted by the playful oinks and snorts of the pigs.

"How can I help you gentlemen today?"Blake took a deep breath before responding, "We're here to seek refuge because some people are after our lives."The officer's eyebrows furrowed in concern as he asked, "Who are these people?""They are assassins sent by my uncle, Kai," Blake replied grimly.The officer's reaction to hearing the name Kai was somehow suspicious.

He yelled."I know, I am sorry Blake, I don't know how I'll ever make up for this mistake, but that's not all I came here for. I have something to show you." Steve said as he took out his laptop.He loaded a video, and it showed CCTV footage of Kai and Zara planning to kill Blake." Your life is in danger, Blake, and I suggest you leave town immediately.

It looked like some family inheritance passed down from generation to generation, but he wondered why he had never seen his father wearing it, and why his father had never shown him before.As he looked at the glove, he felt drawn to it, and he decided to try it on, to see what it could do, though he found it strange that the glove was only available for his left hand.He to

Kai asked impatiently.Steve nodded, "yes sir, they are working fine."Kai's expression turned serious as he leaned in closer to Steve. "Did you see what happened in the manager's office just now?"Steve hesitated for a moment before replying fearfully. "Yes, I saw everything." Kai's eyes narrowed and a fierce look appeared on his face.he leaned back and crossed his arms. "If you want to keep your job, you'll do as I say.

"Today's gonna be a great day." He smiled. But just then…"Good morning Mr Blake, you look good, going somewhere?" Martha's voice greeted from her backyard.Blake's smile quickly faded as he sighed. He couldn't blame Martha for being so nosey because she lived alone with her angry cat."Good morning Mrs Martha, good to see you too, and yes I am going somewhere, see you." Blake quickly left to avoid further questions."Wait… I… I wanted to… oh boy, there he goes again. I wanted to tell him that I had some breakfast to spare." Martha shook her head as she went back in.
