When August saw the food, she grinned and stretched out her hands to take the meal from Kent, but he laughed and said, "Babe, this is not yours, but mine." He teased her, holding the food just out of her reach.

August pouted her lips when she heard that. "Mine must be delicious then," she said, and licked her lips in anticipation while staring at the paper bag containing her own meal.

She tried to grab the bag from Kent, but he playfully held it away.

But when Kent finally brought out her food, she frowned her face and stared at him in disappointment. "What's this?" she asked, her tone hinting at her discontent. Her meal consisted of plain porridge and milk, a sharp difference to Kent's hearty breakfa

    In the other room, Franco stared at the guys in horror, his eyes wide with fear. He was being tortured by Jack, who was no less skilled than John. Jack's expertise in torture was top-notch, which was why he was made the head of the bodyguards. Franco's body was already battered and bruised, he was already screaming in agony."Please spare me, I was just taking orders from the big boss," Franco begged, his voice barely above a whisper. He could hardly speak, but he had to try and stop the pain. His eyes pleaded with them to show mercy, but they just stared back at him with cold, hard faces."I need names," Anthony said coldly, his eyes cold.

Eric asked curiously ."What is the best way to catch someone?" Kent smirked and asked Eric, who chuckled and said, "using the person close to him.""Woah, nice one, man," Fred said, impressed."But Franco is not close enough with Victor," Anthony said after much thought, his brow furrowed in concern."He doesn't need to be close to get to him," Kent chuckled, a sly grin spreading across his face. "We can use this to our advantage."Kent's eyes locked onto Jack, and he said, "Do something for me, Jack. I want you to ask Franco if he had called Victor's assistant to tell him about the accident.""Ok, sir”. Jack said and bowed before leaving the office to carry out the task.Shortly after, Jack returned, and said. "No, sir,
