Thud!
The fire in Zeke’s eyes burned brightly as he clenched his fists and stormed toward the two security guards.
When Lacey caught sight of him, her eyes lit up with hope. “Zeke, you’re here! Please save me!”
Zeke nodded. “Don’t worry, Lacey. Everything will be alright with me here.”
The two muscular men stood in front of the door, refusing to let Zeke enter. “Scram. Our boss is in a meeting right now. Outsiders are not allowed into the room.”
Thump! Thump!
Without saying anything, Zeke punched the underside of the two guards’ jaws.
Crack!
The two guards’ jaws were fractured, and their bodies flew upward toward the ceiling.
Their heads crashed through the ceiling, forcing them to remain stuck in that position.
Their bodies were swaying side to side, making them look like puppets.
Zeke grabbed the first aid kit from the side and started treating Lacey’s wounds.
Tears were brimming in her eyes from the pain. “Zeke, I’m sorry. If I knew Eurasia Pictures was one of the Williams family’s businesses, I wouldn’t have agreed to collaborate with them.”
Zeke reached out to run his fingers through Lacey’s hair as he muttered, “Lacey, do you like this company? I’ll give it to you.”
“Pfft!”
Alec could not help but mock, “You’re just the abandoned son of the Williams family. Do you think you’re the head of the family? Do you think you can just give one of the Williams family’s businesses away like that?”
Zeke fixed his cold, piercing eyes at Alec. “Now, it’s time for us to settle our scores.”
Alec responded calmly, “Settle our scores? Sure. Let’s do it. She’s broken my historical Chime Bells from the war. That was worth 5 billion. I only wanted to ask for one billion in the beginning, but since you’ve hurt my men, it’ll be 5 billion, no lesser than that.”
Zeke muttered, “Chime Bells from the war? Those belong to the country. Don’t you know collecting it for personal use is illegal? Fortunately, I have a friend working in the national museum. Let me ask him how long the sentence for this will be. Will it be ten years, or will it be twenty?”
At that, Zeke took out his phone.
In an instant, Alec panicked.
This damn man isn’t playing by the rules!
Not wanting to be imprisoned, Alec swiftly waved his hands dismissively. “Forget it. Since you’re the abandoned son of the Williams family, I’ll call it even and let you off the hook this time. Now, scram!”
Zeke scoffed. “Call it even? You wish.”
He then put on a pair of white gloves as he stalked toward Alec.
Feeling fearful, Alec rapidly took several steps back. “W-What are you doing?”
Zeke answered, “Tell me, who told you to do this?”
Alec mumbled, “No one did...”
Abruptly, Zeke raised his leg higher than the other man’s head and swung it downward heavily.
Thump!
It landed right on Alec’s head.
With a loud thud, Alec fell forward onto the fragments of the Chime Bells.
The fragments of the Chime Bells stabbed his face and made it into a gory mess.
“Ah!”
A shriek of agony echoed in the office.
Zeke repeated, “Speak. Who was the one who told you to do this?”
Alec gave him the same answer. “No one-”
Zeke stomped his foot onto Alec’s back.
“Ah!”
Another even more agonizing shriek came from the man on the ground.
The pieces of the Chime Bells had pierced his stomach, and blood began gushing out of him.
“Now.”
Alec broke down.
This man’s the devil! He’s too quick to act!
He hurriedly confessed, “It’s Zach. Zach Williams made me do this. He wants to sleep with Lacey, so I had to blackmail her with the Chime Bells.”
Bas***d!
Zeke clenched his fists tightly.
Technically, Lacey was Zach’s sister-in-law.
How can he want to bed his sister-in-law? He’s an animal!
