After giving Tex a few minutes to compose himself, Zane said, “Let me be the one to worry about my safety. Now, tell us what the documents are.“ Even though Zane sounded calm, Tex could see from his expression that he was getting impatient, so he sat up straight and focused solely on Zane’s eyes.“There's this massive gap between wealthy businessmen and thugs. Their status makes society's views towards them very different. But most business people are just as corrupt as a thug. They need these guys to do their dirty works so that they can keep up the image of respectable businessmen and women. And that's where the middleman comes in...” Tex said with a pause, feeling slightly hesitant because he knew that once the rest of his words got out, there was no going back.“A middleman?” Zane asked.“Yes. Mr. Wu is a middleman. You see, the thugs' reputations are too filthy for the businessman to risk being seen with them, or some of them are concern about doing one-on-one negotiations with

Clutching onto her bag handle, Belinda smiled widely when butler Manson stood at the door and asked, “You are?”“Belinda,” She answered brightly. “Oh, yes. Mr. Alfred and Emma are awaiting you in the living room.”“Mr. Alfred?” “Yes, come this way.” A sense of dread filled Belinda as she followed the butler down a long hallway, and when they reached the end of the corridor, the butler knocked on the large double doors and opened them, bowing respectfully before ushering her in.“Belinda!” Emma exclaimed in happiness as she stood up from the couch. It was relieving to see her excited to see her, and when she reached her, there was a bit of awkward tension as Emma went in for a hug. She didn't know why she did, but when Belinda hugged her back, she was glad that the weird feeling had died down.“Hey, Emma,” Belinda whispered as they pulled apart.“So, you are Yoko’s girlfriend.” Mr. Alfred said, watching the two from the black couch.Shocked by his statement, Belinda looked at Emma

The six men rushed toward Zane, and when one swung a punch at him, he blocked it and countered with another hit of his own. The man backed up after a moment, rubbing his jaw, and then charged forward again, trying to tackle Zane. Grabbing his fist, Zane twisted until he heard a satisfying crack, and he smiled when the guard crumpled to the floor and kicked him in his head. Turning to face the second man, Zane punched his chest so that the air escaped him in an audible “Puff!” Before punching him square in the nose, breaking it instantly, with another punch in his left thigh, the man collapsed in pain. The third man came charging at him with fury in his eyes and swinging his right fist, but Zane blocked it quickly. Then he used his elbow to knock him back with an uppercut to the chin. And before the other could regain his balance, Zane drove his knee into the man’s stomach as his hands moved behind his back to wrap around his neck, lifting him off the ground and slamming him onto

When Emma walked into the “Blueprint Tech” building with Belinda and her security detail, she kept smiling slightly at the employees and nodding gently at their greetings. But the moment she and Belinda got into the elevator, her frown returned.“He’s doing something dangerous again,” Emma mumbled, resting her head on the cold metal wall as the elevator door closed behind her guards. “I hate when he does this. I hate it so much.”Looking remorseful at Emma, Belinda hesitated for a second and then said, “I am sorry that you overheard what Yoko and I discussed. It wasn't my intention to-”“You wouldn't have told me if I didn't overhear it?” Emma asked with sadness laced in her tone, raising an eyebrow as she turned to face Belinda. “Belinda, I don't get to see him face-to-face anymore. If no one tells me anything, I know nothing. Absolutely nothing. Do you know how suffocating that is? To be able to learn little things about your man only through a few text messages and calls?" Sniffi

From the moment Yoko’s phone buzzed, Zane had been reading his facial expressions while he stared at his screen, and the spike of worry itched behind his eyes, and the tenseness of his jaw told him something wasn’t right. When he finally put his phone away and realized that Zane was staring, he felt a dilemma to speak out what Belinda had sent him.“Want to share?” Zane asked, leaning back on the sofa. “It’s nothing.” Yoko said.No words got spoken for a while after that, but Zane's face seemed to ask, “Are you sure?” with how he looked at him. With a sigh, Zane woke from the couch and mumbled, “Suit yourself... I will be here when you are ready to talk.”“It’s best we focus on the mission right now.” Yoko said. “I promise we can talk after it goes successful.”*********The noise from members of the Taylors walking down the hallway echoed for a while, but it all when dead silent when Logan and the others arrived inside the living room and saw Mr. and Mrs. Taylor sitting on the co
