A blood-curdling scream filled the air as Benji cut off his left hand.

The bloody scene frightened everyone into silence, most of all Leroy.

Benji clutched his bleeding wrist and eked out, "Thank you for sparing my life, Mr.

Lewis!"

Coldly, Tommy tossed out, "Don't thank me. Thank Mr. Chance!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chance. I will not forget your kindness!" Benji turned and knelt before Jared instead.

Leroy stammered in utter disbelief, "B-Benji?"

He stared at his cousin, stupefied by the horrifying turn of events.

Benji yelled at him, "F*cker! Get on your knees right now!"

Petrified into submission, Leroy hastily fell to his knees. He kept his head lowered and his mouth shut.

Jared stood up and walked toward the exit.

Tommy followed him and addressed Benji coldly, "Your cousin was disrespectful toward Mr. Chance. I'll trust you to teach him a lesson."

"Understood, Mr. Lewis!" Benji nodded fervently.

Jared lifted a finger and pointed at Pamela. He commented, "Deal with this woman too.

Pamela was already pale and shuddering in fear, and she fainted from shock the minute Jared pointed her out.

"Yes, Mr. Chance. I understand," came Benji's reply.

Jared allowed his gaze to rove over the room once more, and his classmates all looked away, trying their best to shrink into themselves. Juliette hid at the back, terrified that she would suffer the same fate as Pamela or Leroy.

Finally, Jared's gaze landed on Virgil, and he smiled. "Work hard, Virgil. I trust in your abilities. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can seek Tommy's help."

Tommy piped up, "Of course! Virgil, you can contact me anytime for help!"

Virgil could only nod repeatedly in reply.

Benji steeled his nerves as Jared and Tommy took their leave. He ordered his men to drag Leroy and Pamela out of the restaurant. Terrified screams rang out soon after. Benji did not take Tommy's orders lightly.

Jared's classmates regretted the way they had acted earlier. If they had not teased and mocked him so, Jared might have given them unimaginable riches like he did Virgil.

Meanwhile, Jared and Tommy had arrived at the room on the third floor.

Jared asked, "Have you heard anything of Steven? Has he been causing you trouble?"

Shaking his head, Tommy replied, "He hasn't. His master, Hydra, is a rare sight, and he has been difficult to track down." "Hmph! Even his grandmaster hardly frightens me. All these experts of ancient martial arts are nothing to me," Jared scoffed.

"Well, of course, My Lord. They are no match for your immortal techniques!" Tommy chimed in.

Jared smiled and said, “No need to butter me up." He took an enhancement pill from his pocket and offered, “I have a pill here that can increase your abilities upon consumption. Once you take it, Steven will cower in the face of your prowess."

Tommy was fascinated. The pill was smaller than a thumb and looked utterly unassuming. Can it truly boost my abilities?

He asked curiously, "My Lord, what pill is this? It sounds impressive."

"It's an enhancement pill. Don't underestimate its effects. The herbs used to craft one pill cost millions!"

"What?" Tommy exclaimed and immediately swallowed the pill.

Warmth filled his abdomen and began spreading out toward the rest of his body.

Soon enough, Tommy felt his body surging with energy and in need of release.

Jared noticed the change in Tommy and smiled. "Does your building have a backyard? Go ahead and give it a try!"

"Yes, there is!" Tommy immediately led him out the back.
