The elevator door opened with a ding. A dignified old man in an emerald green robe stepped out.
“Jay?” Franklin was following the old man out of the elevator.
Jacob sighed in relief. “Dad, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Franklin shook his head and gestured at the old man with a smile. “Say thanks to Master
Roman. If it wasn’t for him, it would be total chaos in here.”
Jacob observed the people following the old man. Their eyes shone brightly as they seemed to be full
of energy. Jacob lightly nodded. “All thanks to Master Roman.”

hearted acknowledgement.
Franklin bowed. “Master, please excuse my son’s ignorance. He’s still young.” He glowered at Jacob.
Jacob raised his eyebrows. What was that for? Saying thanks is just one of the many ways to express
gratitude.
The old man looked at Jacob with bright eyes. “Young people should have a bit of pride. Otherwise,
there would be no difference between them and us old ones.”
“Master Roman is indeed a martial arts master, such humility and open-mindedness!” Franklin was in
awe.
The old man cleared his throat. “We’ll leave now, Mr. Lynch. I’ll see myself out.”
“Take care, Master Roman. I’ll visit with gifts soon.” Franklin bowed with his hands clasped together.
As the group of people left silently, Jacob turned towards Franklin. “Dad, what happened? I came as
soon as I picked up your call.”
“It was nothing.” Franklin answered stiffly. When the incident happened, he called Jacob in a panic.
Thinking back, it was embarrassing to call his son whenever there was trouble.
“I’ll just ask others since you won’t tell.” Jacob hadn’t noticed his father’s turmoil and waved towards a

The guard ran over. “Yes, sir?” He panted.
“What happened earlier?” Jacob waved his hand. “Never mind, bring me to the monitoring room.”
In the CCTV footage, Master Roman knocked down a brawny man with glowing crimson eyes. There
were other men with glowing eyes, but they were quickly subdued by Master Roman’s followers. As
Jacob observed the footage closely, his blood boiled.
The security chief lowered his head regretfully. “Sir, we, as security, have failed to do our job and
Chairman Lynch was almost taken. Please discipline us as you see fit!”
“It’s alright!” Franklin waved at him. “You have done a great job. If it wasn’t for one of yours who risked
his life to protect me, I would have been taken away long ago!” He turned to Jacob and asked
anxiously, “Jay, were those people after you? Their eyes were glowing red. It was horrifying to see!”
Jacob assured his father. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll deal with it soon.”
