They were still stunned, thinking that they had been stuck in some sort of dream world.

It was beyond what they could dare to imagine. The best candidate, Clinton, wasn't able to pay the Jailer. Not even Miss Linda.

But it turned out to be him? Jim?

Mr. Jail kept on refreshing the machine, not wanting to believe his eyes.

He had never had anyone taking away a potential client in the past and it was not going to start happening now.

Not especially from this sort of worthless person.

"If you aim to break the machine, you can by all means continue. Cause I have already been debited!" These words from Jim together with the screen of his debit receipt finally made him stop his acts.

He sneered at them, his hands clenched with the raging effect that caused his blood to boil as he stared at the young girl who was still on the floor.

He felt hopeless with nothing he could do about this situation.

"How's this even possible? I think that this is some sort of scam! It should be investigated properly!" Said Clinton, who was still quivering at the sight.

His fan's glares were evident and he was so afraid that he could barely turn around to face their stone rage.

"He already told you, didn't you? If you can't afford it, that doesn't mean others can!" These words from his crush, Miss. Linda chopped his self-esteem.

Ignoring almost everyone, he stared at the young child who still had her ragged face itching with disbelief.

She was finally free by the most unexpected person she could have thought of.

"Let's go now!" Jim smiled at the girl and she smiled back, revealing her cute dimples.

Leaving them to continue frozen in their awe, Jim walked off, with his hands interlocked into that of the little girl, smiling.

Jim felt so fulfilled, that he barely noticed the earth vibrating under him.

"Thanks, Kind sir!" Lily mustered her first set of words since she was taken away from her parents.

"You don't have to thank me! I will get you back to your parents and help them as much as I can.

Jail or anyone else should never treat you like that. Promise me that you are always going to stand up for yourself!" Jim imploded.

Lily hesitated before eventually she nodded her head and said. "I will try!"

"Wait!" The both of them paused, their eyes interlocked with that of Mr. Linda as she ran forward.

Jim was now so preoccupied with the task that he had at hand that he had almost forgotten about the person who had helped him earlier on.

Seeing her now, he bowed respectfully.

"I'm sorry we ran off! Thanks for helping us back there!" Appreciated Jim

"Thank you, Miss!" Lilly knelt.

"You're so cute! I should apologize to you instead. That I wasn't able to help back there!"

"You did as much as you could, Miss... Linda!" Smiled Jim and Linda smiled back at him.

"Since we are all heading in the same direction! Why don't we have Launch together? The bill's on me! Since I wasn't able to help back there!" Miss. Linda proposed.

Heading to the table that they had booked from the entrance, the meal was fun with Lilly gradually opening up to them.

Until a call from Miss. Linda came. Jim could see the hesitation that graced her face as she stared at the phone ringing, her hands shaking while she tried to hide them under the linens of the table.

The beating of her heart grew louder even to his ears and with all the courage that she muttered, she took the phone.

It was on loudspeaker and she was so distressed that she wasn't even worried about the other people that were watching her.

"Don't tell me there's another problem!" She drew out all the air in her lungs in response.

"I'm afraid Miss. Li but I don't have any good news. The KK co-operation turned out to be the highest bidder for the construction site

And you know what that means, with the construction in their hands... they will stop all future development of our project. And with the investment that we have made" The caller explained.

Miss. Linda didn't need anyone to tell her the consequences of this. She had worked hard to stop this, almost spending all her money on this one project. But it seemed like the results were inevitable.

Her heart pounded louder in her ears, her body aching all over at this instant. She had tried her best, to keep the company that her father left behind for her.

First, it was the stakeholder, and now, that family that felt a family should never be among the driving forces of the city. Just because she was a lady.

Her hands were clenched tightly in a futile attempt to curb the rage and the pain that coursed through her body, only to bang her hands on the table.

"I'm sorry about that!" Miss Linda quickly apologized seeing what she had done in the moment of her rage.

"I have to meet with the board! And see what I can do!" She ended quickly, packing up her things to leave.

Ending the call, she first shot a sad look at the duo of Lilly and Jim before she muttered, letting out an awkward smile.

"I'm afraid I have to leave now and make you guys continue without me. I will make it up in the future. If that opportunity ever comes!" She smiled once again, a very sad one.

"Business calls!"

With those words, she was off from the place. Lilly and Jim could easily connote that everything was wrong.

"Uncle Jim! Why aren't you going with Miss. Linda. It looks like she's in trouble!"

"I think that she would be okay!" Jim returned with a smile, trying to smoothen her mood that seemed to have been upset by the happenings around her.

"But my mom always tells me that married couples go everywhere together! Holding hands! From the one that she defended you back there? Aren't you both married?

My mom always tells me that if a girl defends a boy, it's because they are married or about to be!" Lily explained, so innocently.

Jim almost choked on the juice that he was drinking hearing these words.

"You should not say such things, Lily !" Jim was still coughing, his skin had turned pink, while he tried not to stumble over.

"We aren't married! And aren't planning to!"

Lily nodded sadly. She hoped that they were married. However, as her parents termed it adult talk, she could not push further.

"Do you think that she's going to be fine?" Lily's clear and pure eyes inked with pain and a deep sense of sadness.

How could anyone even dream of hurting such a child? Jim ran his hands softly through her hair and said.

Linda was the only one who had helped them when every other person stood to watch their pain and take glory from it.

Save her timely intervention, Maybe he might not have been able to help Lilly.

"Don't worry! She's going to be! I am going to make sure of that." Jim assured.

    "First Mr. Lawson! Thanks for what you did back there..."Jim appreciated however, his words were waved off in an instant with the wave of a hand.Mr. Lawson who once treated him with so much respect and dignity outside seemed to have transformed into a different person. Suddenly looking distant and cold.Drawing off his phone from his pockets, he lets out a satisfying exhale. Replacing it and returning his cold attention to Jim.The rumors were true then. The rumors that Mr. Lawson was a puppet for the rich class and nothing more.He would do anything that he was told to remain a second-class citizen of the city while in the real sense, he was more of a double-edged sword.He wasn't just used by the powerful people of the city... But his name spread to the four corners of the earth.Jim's face crept with disdain as the initial mood on his face disappeared."You want me out of here as soon as possible and I can assure you!

It shook him like a vibration running right through his body.He could only visualize the amount in his account, still forcing his mind to believe that it wasn't true."If you don't mind, I have got other things to do!" Said Jim, just watching them stare into his cell phone was tiring.Mr. Lawson was knocked out of his thoughts with a sense of rising urgency and a strong shiver.He didn't care about the family that Jim was from anymore. Not for someone who had saved him from the harsh realities of the KK cooperation whoever was the hidden force behind it."I will get everything done right away sir!" Mr. Lawson with his voice ever growing with gratitude.With a dash, he fixed everything that was needed and Jim signed the documents, transferring the owner of the property."Sir, if you need anything in the future, don't forget to contact me!"

    Her once cute, deep blue eyes were replaced with the fiery looks of a monster that had just detected a vulnerable prey.Her red lips gloss shot at Jim, driven with disdain and irritation as her eyes ran through Jim from his head to his toe."This is the pathetic excuse of a human being that dared spill coffee all over my body?" She bottled up and sneered at Jim who's eyes instantly lifted at her rude statement."Excuse me?" Jim returned with furrowed brows.If there was anything, it was her who was wrong bumping into him."If you had looked properly... Then none of us would have been in this situation!" Jim flagged back utterly disgusted at such a mannerless attitude.She flagged her bags, as Jim's audacity made her even more furious. "And so what if I was wrong? Couldn't you be more careful?" Her voice was laced with disdain and irritation."Do you know how much my bag cost? My clothes that you just got dirty? Do you know how much they are worth? No, you can, but I will tell you,

    "Seduce?" The words still sent chills down Jim's spine.The memories played back in his head. The way her eyes lodged at him. And her fingers like paws and she could tear him apart, possessed by a demon right from the underworld.Jim shook even at the slightest thoughts of it.But that was where the other word came in... He supposed. It was either seduce or subdued."The latter option!"

    “So you're telling me that Jim is going to see her?” Linda looked at her friend, who seemed to be the informant about certain things. “He is. I know it seems a bit far-fetched, but Jim has changed a lot, and he also now thinks about his friends and mates.” He smiled. “I think it's time you told him that you were the one who saved him from that event.” “I don't think he would want to know that, I would come out after all this while just to tell him that I was the one who saved him from dying.” “Linda you will only be telling him the truth, the man needs to know that you were the one who risked your life to make sure that he was not going to die there.” Her friend was looking at her, there was nothing going to keep Linda and Jim from meeting but it was also clear that Linda was doing everything in her power to see that there was nothing going to bring them to see each other.

    Jim didn't want to make a sudden move and let the men following him find out that he was aware of them, he wanted them to make a mistake so he would be the one to correct them and use it against them. 'They might not be stupid after all, I know there has to be something on his mind but then I don't know why it feels like he is going to do something really stupid but he is avoiding it with all he got and this is not someone I would want to imagine making that sort of mistake.' Jim paid attention to the environment, he was not going to let anything sneak up on him like that. {Threat Detected! High Level Of Malice Detected!} The screen appeared, Jim knew he was not going to take the threat lightly anymore and it was clear if he did what might happen. "Now I have to deal with this shit?"

He is trying to look like he is not a threat but then I will guarantee you that he is dangerous as hell and if you don't want to let him ruin you make sure you avoid everything that will tie him to you." Grill warning seemed to be going through Jailer's head, he was not sure why it was sounding that way but then there was something about it that would keep lurking through his mind. Footsteps were coming up from behind him, he didn't move knowing that it was an ally of his. "I am shocked to see you by this time of the day. Who died to bring you here?" "Well, you see I wanted to make sure that there is order here." The man spoke up, he was looking at Jailer with an odd smile on his face. "I want to know what can make someone as dangerous as you Jaileer to be thinking like this." Jailer let out a sigh, he was not sure he was in any mood to talk about what was bothering him. "I rather not talk about it," "Oh y

    Jim knew that he was not going to get there on time to see Lily. He wanted to make sure that nothing was going to be wrong when he got to the house. He needed to take her to his parents so he would be sure that she was being looked after properly. He had made a huge enemy when he fought with Jailer, and it was also clear that he was not going to be able to run from him forever. 'I dont know what he might be up to but I know it is not something I would want to be part of,' Jim was thinking of Jailer, he had a feeling that the man had something up his sleeve and he was not going to rest until he made sure that Jim was put down. Jim waved down a taxi, he was sure that there was something odd happening there and he was sure that there was someone following him and he was also sure that it was not something he was going to be putting by the side.

    The date went well with Anastasia and Jim didn't even expect it to be one of the best things that had happened to him like that, he was happy that he had decided to go on the date with her and he had learned a lot and it was not even clear that he was not even part of their level but she as happy to be close to him. 'I don't think she even sees me as anyone she would want to be far from, I know this might not be the case but she is not even looking at me like I am a normal boy with issues.' Jim thought when he was looking at her it was clear that he was looking at someone who would be there with him for a while. "You know, I thought you would be someone who would do anything to make me happy and try to show that you are not the kind of person who would flop a date." She was looking at Jim, she was still astonished that there was no way he would be the kind of man that she had been trying to avoid all year and it was also relieving.

"And like I said you would be inviting yourself and the people you love," Grill was looking at Jailer, he knew that nothing was going to be absolute chaos if he was to go for Jim. "The boy might look like he is not going to do anything but I promise you this. The moment you go for Jim you would see there is a reason why I remain put and I don't want to mingle with him.” Grill had sensed that the moment he faced Jim he was going to be seeing more of him and there were going to be issues that he would not be able to resolve even if he was the smartest man in the city. ‘The boy is one of the chosen few to use that power and he is not going to be holding back, he is somewhat different from what I had expected but then, in all other aspects he is the complete menace I see hi

He opened it and it was a text concerning Lily, Jim paused he was not even sure if he was going to be able to handle anything that was going to come from that text. “Jim, I don't think Lily is going to be safe with us here. For some reason, I think Jailer is going to try something odd so I think it will be better if you take somewhere better.” Jim was looking at the text and he was not going to say anything, he was trying to think but it was getting in his way and he knew that there was something bound to happen but then he was not going to risk anything. “I will take the good option here and go on the date then deal with this tomorrow.” Jim said to himself, he was not sure what was going to happen and then he was also going to be seeing one of the city'
