At that moment, Jerrick could only hear buzzing in his head, wishing if only it was really some
construction work because it seemed to him that Kingsley and Leroy were going to level the entire
Mount Rochwick. “Oh, dear. I’m so screwed.”
He then reached for his phone in a panicky manner, attempting to call William of the Jacob Family, who
was in charge of Mount Rochwick’s tourism department. “Hello, Mr. Jacob. We’re in huge trouble now.
Something wrong is happening here at Mount Rochwick. Please come here and see for yourself. There
are two men here trying to carry out some construction work, despite my warning. They even brought a
dozen construction vehicles with them. Yes, that’s right. I don’t know who they are, so I implore you to
come here and see it for yourself.”
It was only after Jerrick hung up the call that he felt slightly relieved. He then angrily walked up to Leroy
and threatened him. “Hey kid, I don’t care who you are, but if you don’t want to get into some serious
trouble, you better leave with your people because Mr. Jacob is on his way here now.”
However, Leroy ignored the manager’s threat. Instead, he turned his attention to Kingsley and politely
asked, “When are we going to begin our work?”
Kingsley looked at the dozen men with safety helmets and said, “Before you came here, I believe your
superior already walked you through your mission today, which is—to dig up what I’m looking for from
the ground!” Needless to say, Kingsley was referring to his late parents’ remains.
After hearing the man’s words, every construction worker responded together with a loud and
affirmative hum. “Yes, sir!”
In the meantime, Jerrick was shocked by their thunderous voices and unconquerable might, which
made him wonder if they were really construction workers or soldiers. At that moment, a few dozen
employees who worked at Mount Rochwick arrived, including the tour guides, security guards, waiters,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand waitresses, as well as the janitors. It appeared that everyone else who worked around Mount
Rochwick put their work aside and came as soon as they learned the news. When they saw what
happened, they exclaimed and began to ask questions.
“What’s going on, Mr. Kidman?”
“What are these trucks doing here? Are they here to mess around?!”
Backed by his subordinates, Jerrick started to feel more confident. Thus, he pointed at those
construction workers with safety helmets and said, “Go! Rough them up so hard that they will not be
able to get up again! I want to see who still dares to carry out the construction work here!” Upon
hearing their manager’s order, the employees rubbed their fists and squared off, wanting to seize the
opportunity to impress Jerrick, since Kingsley and Leroy’s men were far outnumbered.
On the other hand, the tourists who were hiking Mount Rochwick were all drawn by the commotion as
they surrounded the people in conflict and discussed it in murmurs. “What’s going on? Why are the
employees from Mount Rochwick fighting the construction workers?”
“I don’t know, but I can tell for sure that it won’t end for those construction workers, considering how
seriously outnumbered they are.”
As more and more people came closer to investigate the commotion, Jerrick waved his hand and
pressed on with his order, unwilling to let any more unpleasant surprises happen. “What are you
waiting for?! Beat them up now!” Seconds after he shouted out his order, the few dozen people
charged at the construction workers like a troop of soldiers who were rushing toward their enemies on
the battlefield.
Nevertheless, those people who had just made their moves against those construction workers,
ironically, were beaten to a pulp shortly before they all lay on the ground and moaned in pain.
Meanwhile, the construction workers with safety helmets stood in their place like they did before,
unfazed and unscathed. “What the heck?!” Jerrick tried hard to rub his eyes while asking himself if he
was seeing things. Are those people construction workers or fighters? If they can fight so well, why
would they still need a job that requires them to dig mud and dirt?
At the sight of that, the other bystanders also took a deep breath, feeling intimidated by the
construction workers’ prowess and might. However, neither of them knew that those workers were, in
fact, trained military elites from Coliree Island. After all, Lancer wouldn’t want to risk any delays,
thinking it was an important matter that concerned the remains of Kingsley’s late parents. Trusting no
one else but his own people to do the job, he assigned a dozen soldiers and had them disguise
themselves as construction workers to complete the mission.
Meanwhile, Jerrick took a few steps back and tried to make himself look tough, despite his horror.
“You’re so screwed, kid! How dare you mess around at Mount Rochwick! The Jacob Family will not let
this slide!”
Kingsley glimpsed Jerrick coldly and answered, “That’s better still. If anyone from the Jacob Family is
coming, I’m going to settle my old scores with them once and for all!” At that moment, he suddenly
understood the reason behind the hiccups he had been facing. Wait a minute. I maimed Caleb not long
before the Jacob Family divested their capital from Neveah Department Store. On the other hand, the
place Randy buried my parents’ remains was at Mount Rochwick, which was under the care of the
Jacobs. Why is this starting to make sense to me now?
When Kingsley pieced the puzzles, the truth began to dawn on him. The Jacobs and the Summers had
been colluding with each other to plot against me. Furthermore, Kingsley had learned from Lancer’s
report earlier that the Jacob Family also acquired Mount Rochwick 17 years ago. Therefore, he was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsure that the Jacob Family definitely had something to do with his parents’ death. At the thought of that,
Kingsley was seen with a cold look on his face. “Do it!” As soon as he made his order heard, those few
elites whom he had Lancer hire from Coliree Island immediately entered the construction hoardings
and began digging the ground for Xavier and his wife’s remains.
“Stop right there, guys! When Mr. Jacob gets here…” Before Jerrick could finish his sentence, he saw a
Maserati sedan speeding closer from afar. “That’s Mr. Jacob’s car!” He excitedly swung his fists around
him.
At the same time, the others exclaimed in surprise as well. “Oh, dear. Mr. Jacob has come in person.”
“Things are going to get ugly now…”
Soon, William stepped out of the car and began to snarl, “What the hell is going on here?! Whoever is
messing around here is wasting my time by making me come all the way here!” Seemingly tipsy, he
pointed at the construction vehicles and berated the workers in a harsh manner. “Who brought all these
things here?!”
Jerrick then walked up to William and spoke with a flattering attitude. “Mr. Jacob, it’s these two young
men who brought them here. They told me they wanted to carry out some kind of construction work,
but it sounded to me like they wanted to do some digging.”
“Digging?! What kind of trash does he want to dig out from the ground?!” William then yawned and spat
his phlegm onto the ground, snapping at Kingsley and Leroy.
“This is my turf! So, I don’t care which one of your ancestors was buried here because I own them!
Without my permission, the deceased isn’t even allowed to rest in peace!”
On the other hand, Kingsley’s eyes were filled with fury when he heard the way William insulted his
parents. He then stepped closer to the man and swung his fist at him, landing a punch on William’s
cheek.
