Making

Chapter 14

Two extremely stout yet badly–bruised men were lying on the floor of the living room, moaning. They were unable to stand up.

Luke recognized the two stout men at a glance. They were the very bodyguards who

were with Marco earlier.

And Luke knew by instinct that they were here to mean Gilmore harm, presumably at Marco’s order.

Gilmore would be in trouble now, wouldn’t he?

Luke began looking for Gilmore in the living room.

Before entering the villa, Luke noticed Gilmore’s absence and rushed into it.

However, Gilmore wasn’t there in the living room, which made Luke panicky.

Gilmore must have been taken away by Marco!

Luke shouted at the security guards immediately, “Call the police! Gilmore is abducted.” However, just as he stopped talking, with a squeak, the door of the bathroom opened, and a man stepped out of the bathroom. It was Gilmore, who was believed to have been abducted“,

Luke was puzzled.

The security guards eyed Luke with doubt as if asking him, “Didn’t you say he was

abducted?

Slightly embarrassed by their sight, Luke chuckled, “We don’t have to call the police

now,”

Then, Luke turned to Gilmore and asked, “How come you were in the bathroom?

“Nature’s call,” replied Gilmore.

Luke pointed to the two badly–bruised men on the floor and asked, “What happened to them?

Gilmore said, “I wanted to wait for you and the reinforcements, but I had to go to the bathroom, so I went into the villa for the bathroom.

“Somebody began to attack me in the dark, and I kicked and punched by instinct. I

how have burt them by accident.”

The truth was, of course, Gilmore wounded Marco’s two bodyguards not because of his instinct, but because of the elixir he’d taken before. The elixir had given him God’s Eye, Wich enabled him to see what others couldn’t see and to see in the dark just as well as in the light.

He saw every move of Marco’s bodyguards clearly.

And he struck them at the right spot at the right time.

But Galmore certainly wouldn’t tell the whole story.

Lake and the few security guards were dumbfounded.

Looking at the bruises on the two guys swollen faces, they found themselves unable to believe it was caused by merely somebody’s instinct.

It was impossible.

Lake, however, couldn’t help feeling a grudging admiration for Gilmore, saying, “Lucky you. Gilmore”

Ties, I am” Gilmore flashed him an unabashed smile.

A young security guard, presumably the captain, turned to Gilmore and said. “Sir, let us take care of these guys for you. We’ll call the police later.

For your security, I’ll dispatch two guards to your villa, safeguarding your house. Is that acceptable for you. Mr. Reed?”

The captain was so attentive for a reason. Before Christine, the daughter of the

chirman of Evergreen Group, left, she ordered that Gilmore be well protected and that His life absolutely could not be at stake.

But they seemed to have neglected their duty by letting two intruders in Gilmore’s villa. Should Miss Foster learn such a matter, he might not be able to serve as captain of the security guards anymore.

Therefore, the captain had to dispatch men to safeguard Gilmore, at least for compensation

Thank you bro,” Gilmore said

Flattered, the cagean hastened to shake his hand, saying. “It is truly our pleasure, Mr.

The captain,

as well as his men, took the two stout vere men away.

The captain didn’t forget to gently shut the door of the villa before they left.

Luke sat down on the sofa and looked at Gilmore uneasily. “It seems Marco is truly a vengeful man, and you are in jeopardy now.”

Gilmore, nevertheless, appeared rather detached with his hands in his pockets. “Things have a way of working themselves out. Besides, Christine said she’ll send me a personal bodyguard tomorrow to protect me 24/7,”

But that didn’t dispel Luke’s apprehension, for he knew Marco was quite influential here in Oakhaven. Luke was afraid that even with the all–around–the–clock protection of the bodyguard Christine was going to send him, accidents might happen to Gilmore

In addition, even with the rigorous security of the Palazzo, Marco’s bodyguards. managed to sneak into Gilmore’s villa.

And that showed how mighty Marco was.

Yet, Gilmore just gave Luke a pat on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry about me, Marco wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on me.”

bro.

Looking at Gilmore, Luke wasn’t relieved at all. He said, “How about I call my dad and ask him to send a few security guards here to protect you?”

Gilmore was speechless.

Was he so weak?

So weak that he needed Luke to call the security guards at his family’s factory to protec

him?

Gilmore was actually a whiz at martial arts who had been keeping a low profile.

Did he need protection? No way.

Ding–dong.

Just then, Gilmore’s WhatsApp rang.

Gilmore picked up the phone and saw that it was a message from Christine.

Gilmore opened the text. [Gilmore, I’ll send an ace bodyguard to you tomorrow. He has recently retired from the special forces.

His name is Gerald Graves, nicknamed the “Wolf.

(Gerald is an expert in martial arts. He had once successfully fulfilled a highly–risky tasi in an embattled zone surrounded by numerous ruthless handits, and returned safe and sound.

This is a photo of him.]

Gilmore saw that the man in the photo was a young man in his twenties. His eyes were sharp and resolute. He looked quite undaunted and aggressive like a wolf.

Needless to say, this was Gerald, the freshly retired special forces member, and bodyguard Christine will be sending over to protect Gilmore tomorrow.

Gilmore never expected the bodyguard Christine mentioned could be so powerful.

It seemed Christine was well aware of how ruthless Marco could be.

Gilmore showed Luke the photo. “Check this out.”

Luke took the phone and scanned the messages Christine sent Gilmore, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face,

He was surprised to learn that Christine would send a retired special forces member to protect Gilmore.

She indeed valued Gilmore.

But it was i

relief for Luke.

Luke figured that, with such a bodyguard at Gilmore’s side, he shouldn’t worry about Gilmore anymore.

They slept soundly.

The next morning, as the clock had just struck eight, both Gilmore and Luke were awakened by the rude horn fro

outside the villa.

They walked out and saw a black Mercedes of the newest model.

Gilmore could tell that the man in the Mercedes was probably Gerald, the bodyguard

that Christine had sent Gilmore.

As the door of the Mercedes opened, a young, short–haired man wearing a pair of sunglasses and a black suit, and a pair of black boots, got out.

Chapter 14

It was a robust nian with a tall and intimidating figure. His upright posture sort of suggested his excellence.

Gilmore looked at him and extended his hand, saying, “You must be Gerald, aren’t

you?

“That’s correct. I am Gerald.” Gerald reached out to shake hands with Gilmore. “I’m here to protect Mr. Reed.

With that, he handed Gilmore the key to the Mercedes and explained, “Miss Foster says this Mercedes is at your disposal during your cooperation.”

Startled, Luke couldn’t believe his eyes. He estimated that this Mercedes with the top- notch configuration must be worth up to three or four million dollars.

Why would Christine give Gilmore a villa worth tens of thousands of dollars and a car worth a few million dollars? It was as if Gilmore was a millionaire.

What did Gilmore do to become so fortunate?

Gilmore, too, was surprised at the million–dollar car Christine had given him.

But now, Gilmore seemed much more sedate than he was before. After all, he’d experienced so much, which broadened his horizons. In Gilmore’s eyes now, a car, no matter how costly, was merely a tool for transport, not a treasury.

Instead of just taking the car key from Gerald, Gilmore said to Gerald, “You’ll drive today. I’ll drive tomorrow.”

To Gerald’s surprise, Gilmore appeared so calm and detached in the face of the luxury car, which made him look up to Gilmore more.

Gerald did not argue and said lightly, “Alright, I’ll drive today. Please get in the car, Reed

Just call me Gilmore, Gerald,” said Gilmore.

Gerald replied with a smile, “Sure.”

car, Mr.

The three went in the Mercedes, leaving the Palazzo as Gerald drove towards Oakhaven University.
