Chapter 37
Bonnie looked at Alfred, stunned.
He held up his chin triumphantly and said condescendingly, “Mr. Jim is no ordinary man, Ms. Bonnie.
He’s an extremely proficient fighter and very proud. How could you compare these bodyguards with
someone as great as him? You’d better watch out. They might come after you!”
“Oh. This Jim character is quite something, huh?” She chuckled. A bead of sweat flowed down the side
of Tim Reid’s forehead. In fact, he was Jim Ray in disguise. He held himself back from his strong desire

Ms. Bonita, the world–renowned researcher who successfully developed the world’s latest
nanomaterial.
“If you offend Mr. Jim, you’ll offend Ms. Bonita as well. Not even Mr. Sigmund will be able to help you
then. They won’t do him any favors,” Alfred thought he had intimidated Bonnie a little and gained some
of her respect. But Bonnie looked calm as usual, almost as if she wasn’t fazed in the least.
Alfred was displeased. “It looks like you don’t understand the full gravity of the situation, Ms. Bonnie.”
“What do I need to understand? Do you think Mr. Jim and Ms. Bonita would stir up trouble with me over
something so trivial? Do you think they have time for that? Are you calling them petty?”
She shot a cold glance at him and kept going, “If that’s what you’re trying to say here, they’d probably
want to teach you a lesson instead.”
Alfred’s face turned green. He didn’t have anything to say. He wanted to teach Bonnie a lesson, but
she had schooled him back. And everything she said had a point, so he couldn’t even argue with her!
At that moment, Ivor returned from work.
“Have you chosen the bodyguards?” He asked as he looked at Alfred.
“You’re looking at them. They’re the best of the best. That’s especially true when it comes to the new
captain. He’s very formidable.” Alfred pointed at Jim and praised him non–stop.
Ivor scanned Jim for a while before turning his gaze to his assistant and bodyguard, Floyd. He

“Roger that, Mr. Ivor.” Floyd stepped forward and asked, “Should I go easy on him?”
Jim spoke before Ivor could. “That won’t be necessary.”
“Oh? Confident, aren’t you?” Floyd did some warm–ups and said, “Fair warning. Even the black belts
are no match for me. I’m in a different league from the people you just defeated”
Jim gestured confidently. “Let’s begin.”
