A sudden, deep cry sounded from the side of the ruins, “Half?!”
“Brother…, you can’t just ask for half of a family’s possessions.” Janelle pulled at her brother’s sleeves
lightly.
Jacob gave his sister a small smile and turned around to look at the man who called out. He looked at
them coldly and said to Evelyn, “You can reject it if you like.”
Steven huffed and looked at his daughter, “Evelyn, let’s go home! We can do business outside of
Paramount, it doesn’t have to be here!”
“Dad!” Evelyn looked at her dad with her eyes filled with anxiousness and desperation.
Betray Paramount Chamber of Commerce, at most you’ll lose your possessions. But if we go against
this man, we might lose our lives!
Under the night sky, a gentle breeze continued to blow.

please don’t take up too much of my time.” As he spoke, his voice quietened down. Jacob furrowed his
brows as he frowned in the direction of the rowan tree.
Suddenly, there was a white flash as two shadow rangers jumped out from the shadows of the rowan
tree. Jacob watched as they fell to the floor after being punched by a bald man covered in tattoos.
Seeing that the man was about to hit them again, a stern look flashed across Jacob’s eyes. He picked
up a small pebble from the ground and threw it towards the man, “Hey!”
A shrill sound sounded in the air followed by the sound of a thud, and sparks started to fly at the rowan
tree.
In the blink of an eye, five distinct figures appeared under the rowan tree. Suddenly, shadows started to
flicker around the ruins.
“Hey!” Janelle gave a surprised shout as she was surrounded by people dressed in black.
“Don’t worry, they’re here to protect you.” Jacob comforted his sister with a smile. He commanded,
“Bring my sister back, and create a 100-meter parameter. Whoever disobeys will be punished!”
“Yes sir!” The shadow rangers replied sternly.
“Brother, please be careful.” Janelle told Jacob worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be done real quick.” Jacob reassured his sister with a nod. Once he saw that the
shadow rangers had brought his sister out of harm’s way, he turned his attention back to Evelyn
Winston.
“Are those five your allies?” Jacob asked Evelyn with a cold snicker.
Evelyn was confused with the situation as she gave a gentle shake of her head, “Mr. Lynch, please
don’t misunderstand. I honestly just came today with my father to apologize; we have no other
intentions…”
“Oh, little Evie, I can’t believe I thought we were the same; that we don’t need men in our lives.” A cold

“Evelyn?” Steven Winston looked at his daughter, his face had remnants of surprise. If he had not
witnessed it himself, he wouldn’t have thought that there were so many people hiding among the ruins.
But now…
As he turned around to look at the five figures slowly walking toward them; the five that did not look
normal at all he thought, Maybe I shouldn’t let my daughter roam freely anymore.
Not knowing that her father had decided on her future, Evelyn looked at the five glamorous figures and
gave a wry smile to the girl at the side, the only one dressed in revealing clothes.
“Rose, why are you guys…”
Back at the viaduct, Rose had been easily suppressed by Jacob Lynch. She smiled at Evelyn and said,
“Once Yasmine heard that you were here, she called us and the team leader to come give you a
platform.”
A platform?
Evelyn looked at the man with bitterness in her mouth.
