“Let me go, and I’ll do whatever you want me to!” Sawyer begged.
With terror in his eyes, the air of arrogance that used to surround him had also disappeared.
Much to his dismay, Casper threw him a dirty look and scoffed, “You will do whatever I want you to do?
Why didn’t you say that when you pitted yourself against me in the first place?”
“I’m sorry. I will never try to take Giselle away from you again,” Sawyer stuttered. “She is not that
important to me anyway, and I only wanted to toy with her.”
He might have been better off staying silent because as soon as Casper heard it, he became livid.
Staring at the man before him, he could only recall the numerous occasions he was framed and
obstructed by Sawyer.
Anger coursed through his veins, and he yelled, “I want you dead!”
He exuded a murderous aura as he lifted Sawyer and strangled his neck.
“You are acting rashly. Casper, you were never someone like that,” someone said in a calm voice.
A figure hidden in the shadows walked out. At this point, Casper was acting like a mad man, so he
could only be stopped physically. Picking up a brick, the mysterious man chucked it across the room,
and it flew towards Casper’s face.
When Casper heard the voice, he instinctively turned to the source of the sound. As such, he was
unfortunately hit squarely on his forehead.
“Who are you?”
Casper snapped as he staggered backward. Using a table before him as a shield, he looked down and
saw the weapon that hit him. It was a small piece of brick, and it looked like the person used great
strength to pull it out from the wall.
With this amount of strength, he must not be a simple man.
Although he was enraged, he could still think logically. This other man was too powerful. If he threw a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknife instead of a brick earlier, Casper knew he would be dead by now.
Suddenly, the figure jumped out of the window, and Casper hurriedly rushed over to identify the person.
Unfortunately, the man was nowhere in sight when he got to the window.
That man was able to hide in this room without being noticed by me for so long, and it would be an
easy feat for him to take me down. Who is he?
Staring in the distance, Casper pondered over what had just happened. He was probably trained in the
army, given how sharp and clean his moves were.
Is he trying to drop me a reminder?
Casper frowned. Indeed, I was way too emotional earlier. The man must have thrown the brick in my
direction to wake me up from my trance.
Looking at his hands, it finally hit him. He was about to kill Sawyer.
If that happened, the Lingham family would never forgive Casper and would haunt him down.
Everything he had built up in Horington would collapse to the ground then.
I was too impulsive…
As he let out a sigh, he noticed Sawyer slipping out of the door. Realizing how scared he looked, a
smile crept onto Casper’s face. I’ve already come all the way here. There’s no reason why I should not
teach him a lesson.
Meanwhile, the spa owner, Roy, watched the surveillance tapes with a stern look on his face. When he
heard they had an uninvited guest in his building, his first reaction was to order his subordinates to
throw the troublemaker out.
“What do you mean? He still insisted on barging his way into the spa and even beat up all my men?”
After hearing the news, he changed his mind. “I want you to catch him and tie him up! Who the hell
made him do this? I have to know. Isn’t he aware that I am not someone to be trifled with?”
However, the news that he received later made him speechless.
He did not expect the man to make it to the third floor all by himself while bringing down dozens of
security guards. Not only that, but he also managed to defeat all of the Lingham family’s bodyguards
and head into the room that Sawyer occupied.
“Mr. Johnson, let’s call the police,” his secretary suggested.
“There is no hurry. Let’s wait and watch how it plays out.” Roy furrowed his brows. His appearance
leaned towards the more feminine side, and his temperament was no different from a woman, even
though he was a man. Even so, Roy was no sissy. When he had to assert his dominance, he would not
hesitate to show it. Therefore, everyone named him after an actor, Roy, who played both female and
male roles.
Roy explained, “This man had the guts to mess with the Lingham family. Coupled with how highly-
skilled he is, he is not someone we should provoke easily.”
Still feeling wary about the situation, his secretary cautioned, “But what if he hurts Mr. Lingham?”
“We shall call the police when that happens.” Roy mindlessly responded.
“Others may be afraid of people dying on their turfs, but I’m not one of them. Look around you. All of
my security guards are down, and I have no one else anyway. If the Lingham family asks about it, I can
say that there was nothing else I could have done. If we show them this surveillance tape, we could
prove that we had tried our best.”
He rambled on while pointing to the monitor. At that moment, an image flashed across the screen, and
he widened his eyes in shock. A butt-naked man was crawling out from the room, and he looked like
Sawyer.
The man in the video looked distraught. Not long after he escaped from the room, he was caught by
Casper again. As though he knew someone was watching him, Casper grinned at the surveillance
camera and waved.
“Is he trying to provoke us?”
This time, Roy jumped to his feet in annoyance and turned around almost instantly to lock the
surveillance room’s door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis secretary was somewhat speechless. Although he can be convincing with his words, it probably
isn’t enough to fend that man off.
Outside the room, Casper picked up a random piece of clothing for Sawyer to cover himself before
dragging him to the surveillance room. Although it was locked, it did not stop him. With a powerful kick,
he broke the lock into pieces.
He scanned the room before his eyes landed on the monitor. Pointing at it, he coldly demanded, “I don’t
want the video to see a day of light.”
Roy, who placed himself in front of his secretary, challenged him. “So what if you don’t want that to
happen?”
It took Casper a moment to process. If Roy did not speak, he would have assumed that he was talking
to a female. Yet, it turned out that the spa owner was a man. Snapping back to his senses, he asserted
his point again, “If not, I will turn this place into a murder scene.”
“Hmm, is there any way to destroy these tapes?” Roy turned to his secretary.
Used to her boss calling her out, his secretary quickly adapted. “Yes, the videos are all stored in the
files on your desktop. It should be all gone if you delete them”
Casper was rather satisfied with how Roy handled the situation. Peaking over at Sawyer, he noticed
the latter shaking profusely. It was probably the most embarrassing moment of his life, after all.
“The Lingham family will never let you off. Today, you made such a big fuss here. Not only did you
humiliate me, but you also insulted the Lingham family.”
Daringly, Roy crossed his arms and reasoned.
“You are right. But that’s precisely why I have to obtain blackmail material.” Leaning closer to the
secretary, Casper pointed at the monitor screen showing Sawyer crawling out of the room without
clothes on. “Can you download this for me? Thank you.”
Roy’s eyes widened. “How dare you make requests from us? You should be thankful that we haven’t
called the police!”
