Back in the Malcolm Fernando mansion, the whole family were gathered in the living room after hearing Caroline's words.

"You are getting married? To who?" Malcolm asked with a smiley face.

"Scott Carden." Caroline sounded with a warm smile.

"Scott? Do i know him? Is he one of the big shot's son in Spain?" Malcolm asked with a confused expression.

Malcolm was a man who dined with presidents and big men around the world everyday. How then hasn't he heard of the guy named Scott Carden?

"You don't know him because he's a nobody." Mrs Sheila chimed in,her voice mixed with anger and disappointment.

"Mom? Don't talk to him like that!" Caroline intoned.

"It's the truth, Caroline. The boy is a poor bastard who's only dating you to spend from your wealth!" Mrs Sheila shouted.

"Scott isn't like that. He's a good and honest guy." Caroline answered back.

"Can you two knock it off already and tell me what's going on?" Malcolm Fernando couldn't take the pandemonium anymore.

"Ask your daughter!" Mrs Sheila voiced out. "She brought in a beggar and said she wants to marry him."

"What? That's impossible!" Malcolm said in disbelief.

"Scott is not a beggar." Caroline spoke up.

"Fine, then. What does he do to earn a living?" Malcolm asked.

Caroline stood there in silence after hearing her dad's question.

"H-H-He's a cleaner." Caroline stuttered.

Mrs Shiela broke out in laughter after hearing Caroline's words.

"A what?" Malcolm asked,his expression mixed with confusion and disbelief.

"I know how it sounds." Caroline replied. "But Scott is a graduate. We could give him a much better job in the company once we get married."

"Can't you see what's going on here? He's using you,Caroline." Mrs Shiela sounded. "Once he gets married to you he starts making crazy demands. We can't let that poor wretch step foot into this house."

"You know what. Let's wait till tomorrow to decide." Malcolm spoke up. "Caroline, Invite this Scott over for lunch tomorrow. Since my whole family would be arriving tomorrow,everyone would get to meet him and decide whether he stays or not."

"So you are going to let that Riff Raff step foot into this house?" Mrs Shiela questioned.

"Let me just get to meet him at least before deciding what to do next." Malcolm replied,walking away and heading upstairs.

***

Relocating to Spain Scott has faced nothing but maltreatments and insult from the rich. Everyone treated him like trash and a nobody just becauae he appeared poor and wretched.

The only person who showed him love and kindness was Caroline Fernando. Even if she was the daughter of one of the whealthiest man in spain,she never treated Scott badly.

And now that it was time to get married, Caroline finally introduced Scott to her mother. But things didn't turn out the way they planned.

***

The morning sun flickered into the small room through the window and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott.

Scott opened his eyes sluggishly and got off the bed.

Picking up his phone, Scott saw an unread message.

"She must have texted me when i was asleep." Scott mused, clicking on the text. The text was from Caroline inviting him over to her house for lunch.

Memories of last night began to flash into Scott's head. How Caroline's mom humiliated him and rained barrage of abuses on him.

Now that Caroline informed him that her whole fimily would be there,Scott feared that something more than yesterday might happen to him.

After thinking for a while,Scott dropped his phone on the bed and walked into the bathroom to get ready for the day's activity.

Moments later,Scott walked out of the bathroom and quickly got dressed in his usual tattered hoodie and faded trousers.

After fully getting dressed,Scott exited the room and headed straight to the company he worked as a cleaner.

***

Scott arrived in the huge company and was greeted with the usual hateful glares and insults here and there.

"You are late, you poor wretch!"

"Why are you always dressed in those stupid clothes? Even beggars would reject them as a gift!"

"Isn't it time for you to die,Scott?! No one needs you in this world!"

Even if Scott never did anything to anger them,they still kept on attacking him because he was a poor cleaner.

But after hearing the same thing over and over again,Scott got used to it and didn't let it bother him anymore.

Scott quickly got changed in his usual blue cleaner uniform.

"Good morning, Scott." A female voice sounded from behind. Turning around, Scott saw a pretty blonde lader also dressed in the same uniform as him,carrying a mop and a bucket.

"Tory." Scott replied,heading towards Tory.

Tory was Scott's partner at work and also his bestfriend. The two has been working together ever since they graduated from high school. They always shared every secrets between eachother,but Scott never mentioned anything about his true identity.

"I heard you were getting married." Tory said with a wink and smirk.

"How come you know about it? I never told you." Scott inquired with a surprised expression.

"There's a saying. Bad news travels fast." Tory replied,dropping the bucket of water on the floor and dipping the mop inside.

"What do you mean bad news? We love each other." Scott sounded.

"Okay,but are you sure she truly loves you? Or will her family accept you?" Tory questioned. "Look at us,Scott,We are broke. Those people are not in our league."

"No,You are mistaken. Caroline loves me. Her parents might not like me, but i know she does." Scott responded.

"If her parent doesn't like you,They would do everything they can to poison her mind against you." Tory warned. "It's better to let it go now,because if you keep holding on to fake promises, it would hurt more when she breaks your heart in the future." Said Tory.

"Let's just see how it goes this afternoon." Scott uttered.

"What do you mean?"

"They invited me over to lunch. And i'll be heading there during my lunch break." Scott replied with a smile.

    Scott paced back and forth in the room, his fingers rubbing his chin, and a troubled expression etched on his face. He pondered Internally on what his next move should be. Should he just surrender like a coward? Or should he fight?"These past few months all I've been doing is running, hiding, surrendering.. not anymore. It's finally time they get a glimpse of what I'm capable of." Scott mused as he began to dial the number of Sullivan.In less than a second, the call was answered."Boss." Sullivan's voice sounded over the phone."I told you I'd call you later if I needed your help, eh?" Scott stated."Yes, boss. I recall. What do you need me to do?" Sullivan asked."I want you to send 50 armed men to Chicago. Make sure they arrive in a plane because we'll also be flying to Hong Kong once they arrive." Scott ordered. "50 men? Is there like a war or something?" Sullivan blurted. "If it's a war you should request for 200 or 500 men instead." He added."Just send the most skilled and ex

What the hell, man? I've been calling and texting you all week but you haven't been responding. What on earth happened to you?" Scott spoke up immediately after answering the call."So that's the foreigner's name... Sandro." A deep male's voice sounded on the phone.Hearing the words of the man, Scott's expression darkened and he got off the bed instantly. The voice he just heard was definitely not that of Sandro. "Who's this?" He questioned in a demanding tone."Take a wild guess, Scott Carden." Wang Jian said over the phone."I don't have time for games. Who the hell are you and why do you have Sandro's phone?" Scott asked, his voice filled with anger."Why don't you guess? It'll be fun." Wang Jian mumbled. "Fine..I'll tell you.

But after that night Sandro hasn't been answering calls or returning his texts.Something definitely happened to him.But what?Could it be that Zhang Yang and the Chinese empire lied?

They placed it on the table in-between them before walking away. Without any delay, the duo dug in.They both ate hungrily. Angela hasn't eaten anything since the morning they escaped from the prison. Scott, on the other hand, hasn't eaten anything since the night he was taken to the Boiling room.As they ate hungrily, the rest of the customers glared at them in disdain. They would have loved to insult them, but after watching Scott pay 3 million dollars for the meal without thinking twice they decided to stay quiet. Who were they to insult someone who was far richer than them?A few moments later they were finally done eating."That was so good." Angela commented as she sipped her wine.

They both glanced around the place they had just arrived in."Where the hell is this?" Angela asked with a slight look of puzzle."Chicago." Scott replied after recognizing the area.

If only he had listened to her advice earlier and kept hiding then this wouldn't have happened. But Instead he left and brought the enemies to her doorstep.Sandro shifted his gaze back to Wang Jian, his face bright red in anger, and his eyes filled with tears. He attempted to rise up and attack Wang Jian, but one of his men stepped forward and slammed the handle of his gun on his head, causing him to stagger backwards and fell down."You're a lucky man, you know?

When she caught sight of him her eyes widened slightly, and a relieved expression appeared on her face."You were right, Mei. I shouldn't have left." Sandro stated while panting heavily as they both walked into the small living room."What happened, Sandro? And whose gun is that?" Mei inquired."Oh, this...I took it with me just in case. it belongs to that psychopath's comrade." Sandro informed. "Wang Jian? You saw him?" Mei blurted out in shock."No, I didn't see the leader.

    "What the fuck are you planning, man?!" Sandro asked in a commanding tone as he pinned the man on the wall.Before the man could utter a word, the entrance door flung open and three of Wang Jian's comrades stepped inside. Each of them armed with guns, and their expression fierce and dangerous.Sandro swallowed a mouthful of saliva after catching sight of the men, and he slowly released the collar of the man."Found you." One of them stated with a smirk, and his gaze locked on Sandro. "Just how stupid are you, foreigners? You knew we were out looking for you and you still chose to come to a place like this.". The man added in a mocking tone.Sandro didn't say a word.Not because he didn't understand. The man was speaking English.

    Sandro made his way through the dimly lit street, his eyes scanning the place to make sure Wang Jian's men weren't around. It only took him a few minutes to exit the rural area and arrive in a bustling area filled with people. Sandro was able to blend in with the people around because he was clad in an attire that was similar to theirs. A hat was also covering the top half of his face so it was almost impossible for anyone to recognize him.He walked through the bustling area with his head down and his hands tucked in his pockets. He walked for several minutes until he finally raised his head and spotted a shop by his right hand side. The goods that were sold in their shop were phones and phone accessories like chargers and headsets. Sandro wasn't interested in what they were selling. The shop had electricity... That's all he wanted right now. He swiftly made his way towards the shop and stepped inside."Welcome to Kang Accessories. How may I help you?" A bald headed man with a must
