CHAPTER 128
“This place is really special to me,” Benjamin replied somewhat indifferently. “I can’t let you guys close it, even if it’s for a few
days.”
“What?” the police officer couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy. He took his baton out.
“Wow, chill, bro,” Benjamin got out of the seat. “You don’t have the court orders to shut this place down, do you?”
“I don’t need to show you anything. Now, get out!”
“Calm down, sir,” Benjamin politely said. “My in-laws have been treating me poorly, so this is the only place I can come every day
and take my stress out, so what will happen to me if you close this bar?”
“I don’t care,” the officer yelled.
“Then, can I at least come to your station and pass time there?” Benjamin innocently asked. “What?” Irritation coiled up the
officer’s intestines. “You think that the police station is your guest house?” he swung the baton at Benjamin’s legs without
hesitation. Benjamin jumped over the couch and dodged the attack. The officer chased him. Benjamin made him run around until
he lost his breath. “What the hell do you eat?” the officer couldn’t believe it because he sweated buckets, whereas Benjamin
barely shed a drop of sweat. He wanted to beat the crap out of Benjamin, but to do that, he had to first catch him. Benjamin sat
on the couch and poured some vodka. “Come and have some of this Easy Elixir, sir. It costs 1250 dollars per shot.”
1250 dollars. The price of it tempted the officer. He licked his lips and came over and gave it a shot. “Mmgh,” he loved the way
the vodka punched his throat. He could feel it even after it slid down into the stomach. “How is it?”
“Strong,” the officer said and then swiftly caught Benjamin’s arm and grinned. “Got ya. You can’t escape now.” Benjamin grinned.
“Pay 1250 dollars, please.”
“What?” the officer asked, but then his eyes widened slowly.
“The cameras in this place recorded everything, sir,” Benjamin said. “Pay me and silently leave, or I’ll share the video online. It’ll
embarrass the whole department, I’m sure.”
The officer swallowed his breath for a second and then said, “What if I destroy the evidence and then put you behind the bars for
blackmailing an officer on duty?”

“If you try to destroy the evidence, I’ll try to be an upright citizen and beat your ass.” “Hoho, really now?” The officer snickered.
“You think I’m that easy, huh!” He threw a left jab

at Benjamin’s face, but his fist got caught easily by Benjamin’s hand.
“This is just self defense,” Benjamin kicked in his crotch. The officer fell to his knees, Benjamin punched his face hard enough to
knock him out.
He poured vodka in another glass.
Seconds later, the chief justice Terry Praise walked into the bar with the help of a walking stick, even though he didn’t really need
one.
“So you’re behind this,” Benjamin pursed his lips. “You know, I’m really sorry about your daughter. If I could raise the dead like
Jesus, I would have brought her out of the ground for a father and daughter reunion, but I don’t have such powers. Heck, it took
me months just to get my wife to treat me like a man. I’m just a guy trying to get his life sorted, so leave me alone for both of our
sakes. Doing all these things wouldn’t bring your daughter back.”
Terry’s red eyes were clouded by a wall of tears. “My daughter didn’t have a mother growing up, but I’ve given everything she
asked for. I only wanted her to live her life however she wanted, but you killed her. YOU took my only light in this world away
from me, so I will not stop until I take away everything you consider precious. This bar you’re visiting everyday, I will order it to be
brought to the ground within two days, and the school your nieces and nephews are studying at will suffer the same fate. Stop
me if you can.” Terry, not wanting to look at Benjamin any longer, turned around and walked out.
Shadow appeared behind the couch. “He really misses his daughter. Should I send him to her?”
Benjamin cast an angry glance at him.
“S-Sorry, my lord. I was trying to ease your nerves with one of my tasteless jokes, but he said he wants to take away everything
that’s precious to you. He doesn’t know he can’t achieve that, but he can still make a mess out of the Sterlings.”
“I don’t care about the Sterlings, but have someone guard Rebecca at all times.”
“What do you think about Mina?” “She would be perfect, but would my father allow her to leave?” “I’ll take care of it and bring her
over before dawn.” Shadow looked down at the police officer lying on the floor. “What about this guy? And what about the

challenge the judge made about the bar and the school?”
“I’ll handle it, so go.”
“Okay.” He glanced at the vodka bottles. “I know these guys can’t harm you, but you can still harm yourself. So be careful, my
lord.” Saying that he vanished. Benjamin picked up the vodka glass and finished it in one go. Meanwhile, Jane and Donovan
stopped at a filling station, where Akash, Veronica’s ex-lover, was working part-time. He filled the tank but received no tip from
Jane. He put his shame aside and asked, “A little tip would help, ma’am.” He wouldn’t have asked if Jane hadn’t filled the tank
fully.
“You’re getting paid for your work, so why should I give you a tip?” Jane rebuked him and left.

The next vehicle was a bike. It was Steve. He gave a 5 dollar tip to Akash even though he didn’t ask for it.
Akash thanked him. He could see there wasn’t much money in Steve’s purse, but he still gave five dollars to him. “They say a
light purse makes a heavy heart, but that’s not always true,” he thought. Shawn had messed with his start-up company and
brought him to the streets. He thought of committing suicide many times, but it was the promises he made to his parents that
were keeping him going. Working at a filling station wasn’t easy because his arms weren’t fully healed yet, but it was just hard
enough for him to get used to working with his arms. Because he said he would work 90 hours per week, he received the job. His
fast recovery shocked the doctors, but they had no idea that Alfred was behind it.
Though he was trying to get back to his feet, he still couldn’t forget what had happened. After he inquired about Shawn, he came
to know that he was Veronica’s elder brother. Akash still didn’t think it was her who made her brother beat him. He thought
Shawn acted on his own, but he would have been utterly devastated if he had known it was Veronica who was responsible for
putting him through a horrifying, life-spoiling experience.
In the meantime, Donovan dropped Jane at her apartment and told her he had some work to take care of her. She trusted him,
so she didn’t even ask him for further details.
Donovan drove to the same lodge he visited last time. He had no idea that Steve was following him.
Steve had the feeling that something wasn’t right. “What kind of business do you have in this place at this hour? Surely, it isn’t
just for talking, I believe.” He opened his purse and looked at Jane’s picture. “I got this far for you, babe. I’m willing to even break
the law if it’s for your

sake.”
