A surge of gratitude washed over Nathaniel as he listened to Janelle’s soft voice. Though the rest of
the Elite Forces looked awful, they could not help feeling as though their lives had been saved.
Jacob merely shook his head at his younger sister.
After taking over the phone and realizing it was Willow who called him, he asked with a smile, “Are you
interested in joining a charity auction with me?”
“Yes!” Janelle’s face lit up at once. However, in the next moment, her excitement disappeared. “But I
still have to do some revision later.”
“Maybe next time then, school is more important after all.” Jacob shrugged, since there would be more
opportunities to come.
“As for the five of you…” He frowned coldly. “Paramount is big yet small at the same time. Don’t let me
see you again.”

impressed with your skills, Mr. Lynch. Of course, we will avoid you at all costs!”
With that, the five of them left in low spirits.
As Evelyn watched the five of them leave, fear crept into her heart. Meanwhile, she was also quite
unhappy with them.
Initially, this incident would have been resolved if I convinced my father to give up half his assets. But
you guys suddenly stood up for me. In the end, after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, you left just
like that. What’s going to happen to me and my family?
Though she felt bitter about it, she carefully shifted her gaze away.
Janelle could not help herself after seeing her pitiful demeanor, so she said in a soft voice, “Jacob,
since it’s getting dark soon, let’s head back.”
Jacob smiled when he saw his sister’s clear eyes that were void of all impurities.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head at Steven. “On my sister’s behalf, I’ll forgive you today.
But bear in mind that even though you’ve just escaped death, there’s more hardships in life awaiting
you,” he warned icily before turning around. Without a second glance at them, he continued, “From
tomorrow onward, go to the most rural area in the south with your family of four without a single cent on
you, and beg people for money. After one month, donate 70% of your assets to the children’s welfare
center there. If I find that you gave a single cent less… Tsk, tsk!”
When she heard Jacob’s orders, she heaved a sigh of relief and replied obediently, “Don’t worry about
that, Mr. Lynch. We, the Winston family, will definitely carry out your orders!”
Despite the wind raging on, the junkyard became completely silent.
“I hope you don’t mind me speaking for the entire family just now, Dad.” Evelyn looked at her father
after heaving a long sigh.
“Of course not!” Steven still looked slightly dazed and dejected. “We are going to rely on you from now

Looking at her father’s slightly crouched back, Evelyn nodded without uttering a word.
On the other hand, Janelle held Jacob’s arms with a frown on her face. “Jacob, don’t you think it’s a bit
too harsh to ask the entire family to beg on the streets? Perhaps killing them would be more merciful.”
Jacob rolled his eyes at her. “In that case, I shall return to kill both of them.”
“No, forget it! Just ignore what I just said.” She hugged his arms tightly.
Jacob shook his head to himself. It seems like Victoria would have to speed up on her progress.
In a regular hut deep inside a residential area, Victoria suddenly felt a jolt while reading a book.
She looked at the dark sky questioningly before going back into the house with her book.
On the other hand, Jacob’s phone rang in front of the door in Rowan Lane. He picked up the phone
and listened for a while before his eyes lit up. “Got it. I’ll be right there.”
