Chapter 82: Safe
Location – Sky blossom City, East Zone, Madison garden
“Uncle What do we do next almost 3/4th of our manpower were in the Main office building, if all of them are assassinated then wouldn’t the Zhang mercenaries be doomed with this.” After fleeing the Zhang main office in a hurry Ben Li and his uncle Kevin along with what remains of Zhang mercenaries seemed to refuse in Madison Garden instead of going to their houses as therein lied the risk of ambush like what happened in the main office building.
Hearing Ben Li Kevin Zhang trembled with anger and shouted, ” you fool I am the Zhang mercenary as long I breathe the Zhang mercenaries live and have a chance of revival. Now is not the time to mop around, we have to find who is targeting us before it is too late.”
“Uncle how about I have someone call the emergency number and report cops about the incident at the main office building, this way cops will do all the work for us.”
“You Dumbass this way aren’t you just handing our enemies enough reason to investigate us and get rid of us legally. The main office is the centre of our operation it contains all the records and material evidence of our dirty laundry. I am starting to regret handing you my life work.” Zhang was filled with rage but it was cooled down with his regret of choosing Ben Li as his successor based on nepotism.
“Uncle no need to worry, I have everything under control even if the coups tear down the building they would not find any material evidence of our dirty deeds because 4 days ago I had everything shifted to your mansion in the south zone because the main office building was like hot potato I always feared when the police will raid it. The current main office building is just an empty shell except for the few rats stored on the 3rd Underground floor. ” Ben Li explained his reason for involving cops.
Hearing his nephew’s deeds Kevin Zhang felt chill in his heart because the main office building was registered under his nephews name so even if the cops raided these place Kevin could deny any knowledge or connection with shady things going on in the Main office building and use his nephew as a scapegoat. But now all the evidence had been shifted to his mansion which meant Ben Li was in clear and Zhang was trouble. The worst thing was Zhang did not know if his nephew did this on purpose or he just had an innocent foresight.

Time 21:19
Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234.
It took me an hour to reach the warehouse on foot while carrying Ronnie in stealth. As I walked into the warehouse I saw Corey and Susan both pacing around the warehouse with a serious expression. Turning off stealth I asked, “What happened, why are you guys so tense?”
“Ahh!…”
“Ah!…”
“Wyatt! Appearing out of nowhere out blue… You scared us…” Susan exclaimed with puffed cheeks.
“Sorry! I should have removed the stealth before entering the warehouse, I guess.”
“You guess, I almost activated my Magnetic field card on you. Please be more responsible.” Corey rebutted.
“But did I not inform you earlier that the rescue was a success and to prepare an antidote for green horned poison frog poison … anyway thank you Corey for not using your magnetic field card on me.” Saying that I deactivated the stealth cloak card as I placed poisoned Ronnie on the couch.
After I placed Ronnie on the couch Susan hurriedly came next to the couch and used the antidote on Ronnie and said “That should do it. He should wake up any minute now.”
“By the way guys… if you guys are here, who is watching over Jackie? What if she wakes up?” Jackie was suspiciously knocked out and if she were to wake up to unknown surroundings it would have freaked her out
“No need to worry… we called a professional to take care of Jackie. Seeing how Jackie was unconscious for a long time we were troubled thinking about her being pregnant and all. Don’t worry she is a friend of mine, I called in a favour.” Susan explained I guess I was hastily knocking Jackie out without considering her being 5-6 month pregnant.
“Thank you.” I thanked Susan sincerely for considering something that I did not think of.
“The Baby and the mother are fine and healthy, no need to worry. I will go ask my friend to wake up Jackie since the problem is solved and the situation is better now.” Susan tried to console me.
“Yeah! Thank you.” I had known Susan only for a few days now but I had already become very dependent on her and she had become a part of my life. I was lucky to have made such a friend.
As Susan left towards the bedroom I looked at Corey and said, “Thank you, Corey.”
“Why are you thanking me? I did nothing to help you.” Corey replied shyly.
“No you did and you staying at the warehouse even past your working hours say it all.” Corey’s shift was already over by 19:30 but still, she stuck around accompanying Susan when she could have gone home.
“…”
“By the way! Did you both have dinner yet?”
“No, We did not…”
“Okay let this couple wake and we can all have dinner together.”
“Okay!” Corey exclaimed excitedly.
While I and Corey were chatting, Jackie ran out from the bedroom shouting Ronnie’s name and Seeing unconscious Ronnie she rushed next to him, raised his head and sat on the couch while laying Ronnie’s head on her lap she started to caress his face as she whispered, “Baby wake up! It’s me.. Baby Wake up…”
“Don’t worry Jackie, he is just unconscious and he will wake up within the next 10 minutes.”
“You lied to me… You never plan on getting help from the guild or the authorities, in the first place.” Jackie glared at me.
“You would never agree to plan anyway so I did what I had to.” I did not bother to explain my actions to her.
“But why did you knock me out… I could have helped… How could you put yourself in danger? Do you think Ronnie would be happy knowing his cousin getting hurt or worse to rescue him? No, he would not.
Wyatt I know I may be sounding ungrateful and all but how you shoulder all the sudden yourself. I may not have been able to help you but we could have shared the burden of making the choice together.
In the future please refrain from doing such things. Back in the cab, you told me Ronnie is family then we are a family let’s work together in future. No more lone hero stuff anyway thank you. Wyatt, you did not just save one life but you saved three lives today.”
‘Wtf! Just say thank you and be done with it! Why are you spouting such cringe stuff?’
“Yes! Jackie is right Wyatt. Earlier I was very mad and angry at myself for allowing you to go alone. There were many other ways I could have helped you but at that time I could not think of any and was of no help but later I regretted it thinking of all the ways I could have helped you but it was already too late.
Wyatt as my client every time you get a business you fairly give me my share but when the times were difficult you shoulder the burden all alone.”
“Susan you too? I followed the most effective method. If I needed help I would have asked you guys. Who is playing alone here? Who is shouldering the burden alone? You are giving me more credit than I deserve.” I said sly, scratching the back of my head.
“Wyatt, I think they are not praising you.” Said Corey.
“Umm…” while we were bickering, Ronnie regained consciousness. Excited Jackie gently caressed his hair and said, “Baby you awake… how are you feeling”
Muddled Ronnie hearing Jackie’s voice hurriedly opened his eyes to be greeted by Jackie’s face, shocked Ronnie tried to get but the C-rank poison had taken a toll on his body and was completely limp and unresponsive to his command, terrified Ronnie shouted, “Jackie what are doing here? Did those beasts kidnap you too?”
“No baby, calm down you are safe now… we are at your cousin Wyatt’s place. See” Jackie tried to ease alarmed Ronnie.
“Hey, Ronnie don’t worry! everything is taken care of… you and Jackie are safe now.” I did not know this side but the Wyatt family cared a lot about him so I had to save him. I owe the Wyatt couple and son a lot, especially Mama Wyatt whose inheritance I had inherited. If not for inheritance I would be struggling to survive in this world right now.
“Wyatt is that you… why did you get involved in this? those guys are heinous and won’t stop at anything.” Ronnie said agitatedly.
“Cousin calm down! Right now you are safe just house on that and forget about those goons they won’t trouble us in future, trust me”
“How did you bring me here? They would not leave me just like that right?”
“Do not worry about that, what you should be worried about is your parents? They will be here soon.”
“What?”
“What?”
Jackie and Ronnie exclaimed together. And Ronnie, “so you inform them that I was here?”
“No! I just asked them to come here since the village was no longer a safe place for them with Jackie’s father and village guard chief out for your blood.”
“Yes! You did the right thing. But won’t the village head and guard chief know that I and Jackie are hiding here?”
“Let them, they may be kings in the village but this Sky blossom city they are similar to every other average Joe in the city. You both are legally adults and they can not force you to do anything.
And aren’t you supposed to call the village head father in law? Take responsibility man after all you did knock up his daughter and elope with her?
When uncle and auntie Wyatt arrive how about you two get married? I don’t want my niece or nephew to be born in sin.”
“Ronnie, Wyatt is right! I never once heard you address my parents as your in-laws but whereas I already address your parent’s as mother and father.” Jackie voiced her discontent.
