The three women burst out in laughter upon hearing Joanna’s remark.Joanna was a bubbly person and would only show this side of her to people who were sincere to her.Adrian was rendered speechless by Joanna’s words.Samantha was laughing so hard that she was bent over double.On the other hand, Joanna was still glaring at Adrian provokingly. He surrendered by ignoring her and said to Sarah, “Aren’t you living on your own, Sarah? How about having Nadine accompany you? Let her stay at your place for a bit.”“Okay, godpa.” Sarah made an okay hand gesture and winked at him.“Godpa?” Nadine’s eyes widened in surprise.Joanna chuckled and said, “Oh, you don’t know, Nadine. On the surface, Sarah appears cold and arrogant. But on the inside, she’s a masochist.”Nadine was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.Adrian was rendered completely speechless by these two. One would always bring up explicit topics during conversations while the other non-stop addressed him as “godpa.” He had

Shirley answered, “I’m at home and am taking a shower. Would you like to join me, Legate? I’ll keep the door unlocked for you.”“Where’s your mother?” Adrian asked, ignoring Shirley’s question.“Don’t worry. Mother isn’t home. I’m all by myself here,” said Shirley.Adrian was rendered speechless. “I’m asking you where she is, not checking to see if you’re home alone.”Adrian ruined Shirley’s wonderful fantasy.Shirley answered with an “ah” and said, “Mother’s at the construction site—the same one I brought you to previously. Why?”Upon hearing this, Adrian hastily said, “I’m rushing over to your house right now. I’ll be there in roughly two hours. I’m going to give you two tasks now and you must do as I say.”Noticing that Adrian sounded rather off, Shirley said anxiously, “What’s going on?”He instructed, “Lock all the doors and windows of your house right now, and don’t open the door to anyone who comes knocking. Also, reach out to the residents of your residential area via t
Chapter 645
Following Christina’s departure, the Internal Affairs personnel that had just walked into the construction site noticed that she was nowhere to be found.A young man said to the leading, middle-aged man, “Mr. Westin, she’s not here.”The middle-aged man was Westin Yoder, and he was the leader of Southeast’s Internal Affairs.An hour ago, he received a call from Novemton’s Internal Affairs, tasking him with capturing Christina and Shirley. Though he had no idea what the purpose was, he did not have the courage to disobey Novemton’s orders.Westin said hastily after noticing that Christina had left, “After her!”“Yes, sir!”More than ten Internal Affairs personnel got into their cars and pursued Christina’s car.On the road ahead, Christina turned her car onto the main street. She saw the cars pursuing her through the rearview mirror and grew anxious. However, she did not linger. She subconsciously knew that she would suffer if Internal Affairs got their hands on her.The only pe

Gabriel furrowed his eyebrows.He was eager to perform a meritorious service to Novemton and was infuriated when the door remained tightly shut. He said, “No one’s home? The investigation showed that Shirley is currently in the house, and you’re telling me there’s no one inside? How is that possible?”Someone continued to knock on the door upon hearing Gabriel’s retort.Gabriel said furiously, “Enough, stop knocking. She won’t open the door even if you knocked it until it breaks. Break the door down. We’re going in by force!”“Yes, sir!”Two minutes later, Gabriel’s subordinate brought out a huge hammer and raised it before violently pounding on the door.Bang, bang, bang!The sounds of pounding rang out as the door was pounded to splinters. The lock broke with a loud clang and the door toppled to the ground with a loud bang.Internal Affairs had broken into the house.“It’s open, Mr. Gabriel!”“Go, go.” Gabriel beckoned his subordinates.Upon saying that, he strode into the

Stomp, stomp, stomp!Two people stepped forward upon receiving Gabriel’s order and forcefully pulled Shirley out of the closet.“Don’t touch me!” she shrieked as she began to struggle.However, these men were so strong that she could not get out of their grip.Shirley was brought to stand before Gabriel.He took a few glances at her, smiled, and said, “Hey, you’re quite pretty. If Mr. Chase wasn’t asking for you, I’d love to spend some time with you.”“F*ck you!” Shirley glared at Gabriel ferociously. She angrily said, “Lackey of Internal Affairs’ Chase Gardner, let me tell you this. I’d rather sleep with a dog than a man like you. You’re disgusting.”Gabriel flew into a great rage and said, “You’re quite the talker. You think you’re capable huh? You should learn that your destiny is within my control now. If I want you to die at three o’clock, you won’t live until five!“Don’t ask me why. It’s because I’m the god king. Your destiny is mine to control!”Gabriel had a faint smi

Gabriel threw his head back and laughed again. “Since you know who I am, why aren’t you on your knees yet? Bow down and I may spare your life.“After all, no one who provokes me gets to live.”Adrian shook his head. He walked over and laid down on Shirley’s bed with his upper body leaning against the headboard. He chuckled. “Don’t be so hasty, Mr. Gabriel. I know who you are, but it seems that you don’t know who I am.”“I don’t need to know who you are. You’re a dog to me no matter who you are. You’re going to roll on your back, wag your tail, and show your belly, you dog,” Gabriel said bluntly.“You don’t want to hear my introduction first?” asked Adrian.“Hah-hah-hah!” Gabriel laughed frantically once again. “I told you, you’re just a dog to me no matter who you are. Why? Are you trying to show off your incompetence? I’m afraid that you’ve come to the wrong person.”Adrian did not reply.Gabriel chuckled and said, “Also, my position as the special zone’s leader is not a minor

Gabriel’s earlier arrogance had completely vanished, and in its place was boundless fear.The situation had far surpassed his imagination. This was supposed to be an easy task but judging by the current situation, Shirley had no need to fear him anymore.He should be the one fearing her now.Shirley was disgusted by the sight of Gabriel. This was the man who claimed to be a king earlier. But now, he was kneeling on the ground like a coward.There was a saying, “There is nothing permanent except change.”“Sigh!” Shirley shook her head and let out a long sigh, feeling emotional.On the other hand, Gabriel was trembling like a leaf. Large droplets of sweat streamed down his face and tears were continuously flowing from his eyes.Noticing that Adrian was quiet, he continued to beg for mercy. “Sir, I’ve truly realized that I was wrong. I was too rash in handling this matter today. Please spare me, sir!”Gabriel burst into tears. His subordinates had already backed out of the room in

Adrian chuckled and said, “Even if Chase himself were here, he wouldn’t get any respect from me, let alone you.”Gabriel panicked and bowed to beg for mercy. “Please, Legate!”Adrian said upon seeing him bow, “No need to panic. I’m not planning to kill you.”Gabriel was relieved upon hearing Adrian’s words.Adrian then asked, “Tell me, Gabriel. Has Internal Affairs located Kayn yet?”Gabriel said without any hesitation, “Sir, Chase dispatched the order all over the country to search for Kayn. However, his whereabouts are yet to be located. Hence, Chase ordered us to capture Shirley and her mother so Kayn would be compelled to show up.”“What are the places you’ve searched?” Adrian questioned.Gabriel thought about it and quickly answered, “We’ve been looking all over Southeast, and almost all of Internal Affairs were mobilized for the task. We’re also searching within Southrive but we don’t dare to draw attention because that place is mostly under your organization’s control.”
