CHAPTER 107

Benjamin reached a large mansion spanning over 600 acres, much bigger compared to the Sterling villa.

“The Myers mansion,” he checked his mobile. “Someone called Narika ordered a pizza, and theyspecifically asked for the pizza to be delivered at the cottage behind the mansion? Sounds fishy butwhatever. Let’s get it over with.”

He reached the back entrance, where there were no guards blocking the entrance. He entered throughthe gate without a problem. No dogs were in sight. “Definitely fishy.” He walked over the grass pavementvigilantly until the old cottage was in sight. The door was closed. The atmosphere was cold yet gloomy.Looking at the dust on the ground around the cottage, it was clear that nobody had gone in and out, butBenjamin noticed a few small yet clean spots, suggesting that someone or something must have skippedtheir way across. He kept staring at the cottage, and as seconds passed, his expression darkened.“Horrible…” “What is?” a feminine voice reached his ears. He slowly turned around. There was a longorange-haired woman smiling at him. “Sorry for surprising you, even though you don’t look all thatsurprised, to be honest. You came a few minutes earlier than I thought, so I wasn’t there to receive theorder at the gate itself. As expected of a seven-star deliverer, I must say.”

Benjamin squinted his eyes. “You…” he briefly glanced over his shoulder and looked at the cottage. “Areyou the one responsible who put the man in the cottage in that horrible situation?”

Surprise filled her eyes. “You were able to tell without even entering?” she frowned. “Who the hell areyou?”

“Just answer his question,” Shadow flashed behind her, his dagger already touching her neck before shecould do anything. “I-I’m innocent,” she said. “I was trying to give the pizza to that man, but he isn’teating.” “Are you telling me he’s fasting to death?” Benjamin asked. “I’m afraid so,” she looked a bitguilty. “My family members put him in that situation, and I’ve been trying to help him ever since, but it

seems his heart has been broken beyond repair.” Benjamin wanted to confirm her words, so he tossedthe pizza box inside the cottage through the window. The man sitting alone in the darkness, with kneesbroken, didn’t even move an inch. His head was hung low throughout. Benjamin turned toward theorange-haired woman and said, “I believe your words, but I’m going to call a doctor.” “No!” she quicklysaid. “What?” Benjamin glared at her.

“I mean, I can help him. I will help him,” she assured. “I won’t let him die.”

Benjamin focused his sense of hearing and heard her heartbeat. It didn’t seem like she was

lying. “Fine. I will return after three days. If he is still in there rotting… you will regret it for the rest of yourlife.” After giving the warning, both Benjamin and Shadow left as they discussed some things amongthemselves.

The orange-haired woman was still sweating. (Who the hell are those two? One could see through mystealthy, and the other was so stealthy, I couldn’t sense him until the dagger was touching my throat. Andtheir presence… To think even I felt threatened by them… The world really is vast!) She then lookedtoward the cottage, and her heart began to beat strangely. “Are you really not going to eat anything,Carlos?” Meanwhile, at the Chief Justice’s house.

Jacob came to see how Terry was doing and also to thank him for allowing to raise the ticket prices. Hewould have brought a nice gift if only Marisa hadn’t died recently. Gifting right now didn’t feel appropriate,after all.

“I’m sorry for not coming to watch the premiere,” said Terry, still looking a bit gloomy. “I’m not in the moodto consume any form of entertainment now.”

“It’s okay, Mr. Terry. I can totally understand. You’ve already done more than enough. I’m really gratefulfor that.” “I’m glad you understand.”

“How about we play cards this weekend? It might help you divert your attention from your loss.”

“I’m not sure, but we’ll see.” At that moment, Terry’s phone rang. A text message. He glanced at thescreen, and his eyes slowly but surely widened upon seeing a poster.

At Blackbear’s hideout.

Blackbear also just received a text message. After checking it, he looked surprised. “Who the hell put thismuch money on this guy?” His underlings looked shocked. “One million dollars for his head? Boss, if wekill him, our brothers won’t have to worry for another year.”

“We need to act fast, Boss, or someone will grab the opportunity.”

“Shut it, guys. This guy’s no easy meal, but still the offer is indeed tempting,” Blackbear tapped themobile to his chin, wondering what he should do.

At Rowdy Queen’s humble house.

She received a printed poster left at her doorstep. “An S-class bounty poster? It’s been a while since Igot one.” When she looked at Benjamin’s face on the poster, she froze for a good couple of seconds.She then bit her lower lip and shook her head. “Ah-huh, it’s too low. Whoever put the bounty on his headhave no fucking idea what this guy is capable of. You can’t hunt a tiger with rabbits. Whoever goes afterhim, I’m afraid… they’ll never see the light

again.”

Somewhere else in the city, on a random rooftop. Alfred was standing at the edge, staring at Benjamin’swanted poster. He didn’t look happy or angry. He wore a neutral expression. “If this poster reaches that

place, things will get out of my hand. Please settle this thing as quietly and quickly as possible, Master.”Outside the Sterling villa.

A taxi was parked not far from the main entrance. Benjamin was sitting in the back while Shadow was inthe driver’s seat.

Benjamin was staring at the villa, hoping to get a glimpse of his wife, but he couldn’t see her again today.Even though they were doing nothing but waiting, Shadow didn’t seem frustrated at all. He wasextremely patient because he respected his lord’s feelings. Shadow’s phone vibrated. He pulled it outfrom under his sleeve and checked the message. Seeing the bounty poster, a wide grin etched on hisface.
