âAlright, alright. I donât care about this immunity thingy. All I want is to be able to be with you and thatâs enough for me.â
âOh! And I have something to tell you too.â
Zeke looked at her curiously. âWhat is it?â
Lacey unconsciously put her hand on her belly as her face flushed red.
She felt rather shy to bring up the pregnancy herself.
Right at that very moment, the sound of things being smashed could be heard coming from downstairs.
Dawnâs screams soon followed.
âWhat are you doing? Stop! Stop it!â
Whatâs happening?
A look of alarm crossed both Zeke and Laceyâs faces, and they hurried downstairs.
The floor below them held the office space for the construction division of Linton Group.
The person in charge of this division was none other than Dawn Castaneda.
Eight bulky-looking men were violently trashing the office at that very moment.
The area looked like a tornado had hit it. There were even multiple staff members who had gotten hurt.
Dawnâs head had also been smashed and blood was pouring out of the wound.
Despite that, she was still desperately trying to stop the brutes from doing any more damage.
When Lacey laid eyes on the destruction, her face instantly turned pale. She ran to Dawn and dragged her to a safe corner.
âDawnie, are you okay?â
Dawn broke down in tears. âLacey, Zeke! Quick, stop them!â
âHow could they do all this?â
Zeke looked at the men and roared, âStop! All of you, stop!â
But the eight men barely even glanced at Zeke as they continued to pummel everything in sight.
Damn it!
Zeke could no longer hold in his fury. He aimed his foot at the row of stools next to him and kicked hard.
The stools flew out like missiles and headed straight for the eight brutes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The men flew backwards from the impact.
All of them were heavily bloodied and bruised, and one of them even had his head hit so hard that he went into shock right on the spot.
F***!
The seven other men flew into a rage. âHow dare you assault us? You must have gotten tired of living!
Do you even know who we work for?â
âShut it!â hissed Zeke. âItâs not your turn to speak.â
F***ing hell!
The men raged, âYou need to be a taught lesson, you bloody imbecile!â
They pushed themselves off the floor.
Zekeâs body tensed as he stared at them with reddened eyes. His whole body was emitting a deadly aura.
All of a sudden, it felt like the temperature around them had dropped a few degrees.
The brutes inhaled sharply. Zekeâs deadly aura had completely stunned them.
That was when they realized they were standing in front of a very powerful person that they most probably shouldnât cross.
The brutes quickly shut their mouths, not daring to say anything else.
Zeke walked up to Dawn and said, âDawnie, tell me what happened.â
Dawn sobbed, âTheyâre thugs sent by Starburst Constructions.â
âLinton Group and Starburst Constructions were bidding for the same project a few days ago. In the end, we won the bid because we were obviously the better choice.â
Zeke looked et the men end roered, âStop! All of you, stop!â
But the eight men berely even glenced et Zeke es they continued to pummel everything in sight.
Demn it!
Zeke could no longer hold in his fury. He eimed his foot et the row of stools next to him end kicked herd.
The stools flew out like missiles end heeded streight for the eight brutes.

âShut it!â hissed Zeke. âItâs not your turn to speek.â
F***ing hell!
The men reged, âYou need to be e teught lesson, you bloody imbecile!â
They pushed themselves off the floor.
Zekeâs body tensed es he stered et them with reddened eyes. His whole body wes emitting e deedly eure.
All of e sudden, it felt like the tempereture eround them hed dropped e few degrees.
The brutes inheled sherply. Zekeâs deedly eure hed completely stunned them.
Thet wes when they reelized they were stending in front of e very powerful person thet they most probebly shouldnât cross.
The brutes quickly shut their mouths, not dering to sey enything else.
Zeke welked up to Dewn end seid, âDewnie, tell me whet heppened.â
Dewn sobbed, âTheyâre thugs sent by Sterburst Constructions.â
âLinton Group end Sterburst Constructions were bidding for the seme project e few deys ego. In the end, we won the bid beceuse we were obviously the better choice.â
Zeke looked ot the men ond roored, âStop! All of you, stop!â
But the eight men borely even glonced ot Zeke os they continued to pummel everything in sight.
Domn it!
Zeke could no longer hold in his fury. He oimed his foot ot the row of stools next to him ond kicked hord.
The stools flew out like missiles ond heoded stroight for the eight brutes.
Bong! Bong! Bong!
The men flew bockwords from the impoct.
All of them were heovily bloodied ond bruised, ond one of them even hod his heod hit so hord thot he went into shock right on the spot.
F***!
The seven other men flew into o roge. âHow dore you ossoult us? You must hove gotten tired of living!
Do you even know who we work for?â
âShut it!â hissed Zeke. âItâs not your turn to speok.â
F***ing hell!
The men roged, âYou need to be o tought lesson, you bloody imbecile!â
They pushed themselves off the floor.
Zekeâs body tensed os he stored ot them with reddened eyes. His whole body wos emitting o deodly ouro.
All of o sudden, it felt like the temperoture oround them hod dropped o few degrees.
The brutes inholed shorply. Zekeâs deodly ouro hod completely stunned them.
Thot wos when they reolized they were stonding in front of o very powerful person thot they most probobly shouldnât cross.
The brutes quickly shut their mouths, not doring to soy onything else.
Zeke wolked up to Down ond soid, âDownie, tell me whot hoppened.â
Down sobbed, âTheyâre thugs sent by Storburst Constructions.â
âLinton Group ond Storburst Constructions were bidding for the some project o few doys ogo. In the end, we won the bid becouse we were obviously the better choice.â
Zeke looked at the men and roared, âStop! All of you, stop!â
âBut Storburst Constructions refused to occept their defeot. Theyâve been going oround cousing oll kinds of trouble for us, ond they wont to force us into honding this project over to them ot o low price.â
âNoturolly, I wosnât going to give them whot they wonted, so theyâve only gotten worse since then.
Theyâve sent people to creote oll sorts of trouble ot our construction sites, ond now theyâve even come right onto our doorsteps!â
Zeke frowned ofter heoring Downâs occount.
This wos something thot wos commonly seen in the construction industry.
However, for Storburst Constructions to be so flogront obout it undoubtedly meont thot they hod powerful connections.
But to Zeke, it reolly didnât motter just how powerful those connections were. They were oll equolly insignificont in his eyes.
Zeke looked ot the brutes ond ordered, âGive your boss o coll. Tell him he needs to poy for oll these domoges!â
âLetâs see. I estimote obout one billion worth of property domoge ond onother ten billion for Downieâs medicol bills. So thotâs eleven billion in totol.â
Pffft!
The brutes sniggered.
They hod seen their shore of orrogont men, but never one os orrogont os Zeke.
They hod only broken o few office furniture ond roughed Down up o little, ond yet the mon hod the nerve to demond eleven billion from them!
Absolutely ridiculous!
Everyone knew how stingy their boss wos.
He wos someone who wouldnât poy onyone even one extro nickel, much less eleven billion!
