“A new branch? When was it established? I’ve heard nothing about it…” The gears in Cassandra’s head began to grind. Something about all of this seemed suspicious. Earlier when they were still in Flynn’s territory, the bodyguard had told them that Flynn wanted to treat them to a meal at Homeland Kitchen as an apology. Cassandra didn’t think much of it. After all, she saw the familiar Rolls-Royce before her eyes. Because of that, they just went along with the bodyguard. However, seeing that they were now going west of the city, more and more alarms in Cassandra’s head were going off. The west of the city was a factory zone. Very few entertainment centers would be there. Why would anyone consider establishing a Homeland Kitchen branch there? “It opened just a few days ago. The chef there’s quite the prodigy at cooking. Mr. Lexington’s told me that he’s hosting this feast with you in mind since he wasn’t able to serve you well at the Emperor,” said the driver. “That’s nice

“Humph! Tie them all up while we wait for the boss’s next order!” shouted one of the men. Cassandra and the others were then dragged into the building before being tied to some chairs. “They’re all so beautiful! If the boss enjoys himself today, maybe we’ll get to have some fun with them too!” A guard laughed with a cruel smirk on his face. “That can wait. Let’s make sure the boss receives a warm welcome first! You three remain upstairs to stand guard over them. Until the boss arrives, suppress your sexual urges. If he finds out about it, you’ll definitely be castrated!” The three chosen subordinates nodded respectfully as the rest of the men descended the stairs. The women were extremely beautiful and, fearing that they might kiss them if they looked at them for too long, the three men decided it was best not to look at them at all. They squatted down by the door and began playing games on their phones. “Psst… Hey, Naomi. Did you manage to get the call across earlier? How

Inside the Emperor Karaoke Bar’s office, the mood was heavy. “We’ve pinpointed the exact location, Mr. Crawford. After tracing Miss Milton’s last call, we found that it was made outside an incomplete factory, west of the city,” explained Michael. “Mr. Crawford!” shouted Zack as he burst through the office’s door. “We’ve run some investigations on the gangsters in Mayberry City and the Rye group. According to our spies, Jack had been acting strangely tonight. Earlier at eight, he had held a dinner party with a few others, including a few business-focused bosses from Mayberry City. In between meals, he would leave the table a lot to make calls. It was also found that his subordinates had drugged the wine beforehand. About ten minutes ago, his driver picked him up and his final destination was the same factory Miss Milton last called from!” Zack reported. Gerald had a confused look on his face. “Mr. Lyle… How do you know so much about them?” Zack smiled. “The truth is, Mr. Crawf

With Ordinary Man on their side, the girls had thought that they could do anything they wanted in Mayberry. None of them had ever anticipated that they would end up being in such a hopeless situation. They were all frightened half to death at the thought of getting r*aped. “Boss! There’s a call for you!” called out a subordinate. “I’m not answering that, can’t you see I’m busy?” Jake scowled as he shed his clothes off. “But…” The bodyguard then whispered the rest of what he wanted to say into Jake’s ear. “…What?” A sense of nervousness quickly filled Jake. “Why is he calling me now?” Jake wasn’t in any position to refuse the call. Gulping down, he braced himself as he answered the call. “…Did you misunderstand me? How is this possible? I-” “Cease your nonsense. Your subordinates downstairs are under me now. Release them immediately Jake, or you’re meeting death early today!” The person’s voice on the other end of the line was frigid. Jake gulped. At that moment, f

Leopold White’s next order from Gerald was to untie the other three girls and bring them along. They had used his name freely, thinking they could do whatever they pleased without having to face the consequences. Making them anxious was his way of teaching them a lesson. He had never planned to leave the girls stranded there in the first place. Leopold White—the man with white hair—was an outstanding bodyguard who worked under Michael. To put simply, Leopold’s job was similar to Flynn’s who worked under Zach. Michael had brought him here from Hong Kong. “They’ll be arriving soon, Mr. Zeke. It’ll be inconvenient for me to meet them here so I’ll be taking my leave first. Is my ride ready?” asked Gerald to Michael who was sitting beside the driver. “The ride will be here at any moment now, Mr. Crawford. We’ll depart as soon as it arrives. Leopold can handle the rest. He’ll be safely escorting Miss Milton and the others back to their college.” As he said that, a limousine stopp

However, if it was indeed true that Gerald was a powerful and influential man, they would prefer to die rather than accept that fact. Cassandra recalled the time she had suffered terribly and had a restless night when she found her power bank in Flynn’s car before. “I was nervous back then and now that I think about it, I’m not too sure if I had called Gerald anymore... However, it is undeniable that the first contact number in my contact list is his. The second is my cousin’s, whom I called just this morning. If we’re talking about connections, it could be her. She works as a vice president for an international trade enterprise so she would definitely know a lot of people,” said Naomi, careful with her words. “That sounds much more logical. Your finger could have accidentally tapped her number. Following that, your cousin must have arranged for the rescue! Some of the guards here look like they could be SWAT cops while the others look like gangsters!” Cassandra said in a soft vo

“...Eh? Isn’t this the coat I bought for Gerald?” Felicity asked aloud, a clear confusion in her voice. There was no doubt about it. It was definitely the coat she had bought for him in the mall that afternoon. “Are you sure Felicity?” asked Cassandra, stunned at her claim. She took the coat from her to have a look at it herself, and it was true. It was indeed the exact same coat. ‘How could this be? Why would his coat be in this particular Maybach?’ The girls were all thinking the same thing, their confusion reflected in their eyes as they took turns staring at Leopold who was still driving. Leopold, for the first time since meeting the girls, began fidgeting slightly. Mr. Crawford had specifically ordered him to keep his identity a secret. However, with the progression of the girls’ conversation, things were becoming awkward for him very quickly. “That’s my coat. I usually just leave it on the passenger’s seat,” lied Leopold. Felicity and Cassandra looked at each ot

Harper repeated his question, his voice full of anxiety. However, Yvonne simply ignored him and walked toward Gerald’s bed. “Get up immediately, Gerald!” she sneered. She then pulled Gerald’s blanket off him without bothering to consider what he had on at the moment. Once he was in plain view, she yanked him off the bed recklessly. “What are you doing?!” Gerald yelped as his hands moved to cover his crotch. These women were terrifying. But instead of answering his question, Yvonne simply began rummaging through his things. Not too far away, both Cassandra and Felicity had their arms crossed as they watched the scene play out. Naomi simply hid in a corner. “Counselor, Felicity! I found his coat and phone here!” Yvonne shouted as she held the two items up for them to see. All the girls were stunned. All of them were thinking the same thing. ‘So it wasn’t Gerald after all!’ They felt relief wash over them as if they were prisoners who had just been freed after many year
