    Hayesughed and patted Kohen''s shoulder.


    "You''re still too young and inexperienced; it''d be even more dangerous for you to go.While I''m away,


    take care of the family andpany affairs.I''ll find opportunities to train you when I return." Kohen


    sighed.


    "Alright."


    Seeing his disappointed expression, Hayes could not help but tease.


    "If I were to have an unfortunate ident on this trip, the entire burden of the family would fall on your


    shoulders, and I''m afraid you wouldn''t have a moment to spare."


    Annoyed by his words, Kohen replied, "You''re about to leave, can you not say such ominous things?


    You''re scaring me."


    Hayes chuckled and shook his head.


    "Fine, I won''t scare you anymore.But you should be stronger too.If I''m no longer around one day,


    at least you''ll be able to protect the family."


    Kohen rolled his eyes.


    ''He said he wouldn''t scare me, but he keeps saying ominous things!'' He shot a re at his older


    brother before turning to Jensen and Mia.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    "Protect your boss, understood?"


    "Yes!"


    Jensen and Mia replied in unison.


    However, Jensen furrowed his brow, a strange feeling of unease settling in his heart.


    Reaching Linsborough by ne took only two hours.


    As soon as the ne touched down, they were greeted by a weing party.Hahaha, Mr.Hayes, long


    time no see," said a man in his thirties, leading the group.


    With elongated eyes and a hawkish nose, his smile exuded a sinister aura.


    "Curtis is quite courteous, sending his beloved grandson to personally wee me."


    The man with the sinister face was named Kendall Burton, the heir of the Burton Group.


    The Burton Group used to be a fierce rival of McCray Corporation, but suddenly expressed a desire to


    cooperate, raising suspicions about their intentions.


    However, if the two groups could truly coborate, it would elevate McCray Corporation''s business to


    new heights.


    "You are an honored guest, so of course, I had to personallye and greet you.My grandfather


    originally nned toe, but I stopped him, as you know, he is getting on in years."


    Hayes smirked.


    "So, will you be the one directly discussing the deal with me?"


    "Yes, to be honest, my grandfather is too old and shouldn''t be handling these matters anymore."


    Hayes chuckled without a response.


    Kendall studied him for a few seconds, his gaze suddenly drawn to Mia standing behind him.


    "Oh, Hayes, bringing such a beautiful woman with you on a business trip? You sure know how to enjoy


    yourself while working."


    Kendall tried to touch Mia''s hand, but as soon as his hand brushed her face, a sudden pain shot


    through his wrist.


    Mia had grabbed his wrist, bending it into a terrifying angle.


    "Damn! Let go, you wench!"


    Hayes slightly curled his lips, reprimanding Mia.


    "Let Mr.Burton go.He is our partner this time, and we can''t afford to offend him."


    Mia emotionlesslyplied and pushed Kendall away.


    Kendall rubbed his sore wrist, ring at Mia venomously.


    "This little wench is quite feisty, isn''t she, Hayes? So, this is your taste."


    Hayesughed softly.


    "Women, after all, are more interesting when they''re spicy, right? If you like this kind, I will have her


    apany you next time."


    Mia''s face changed subtly, but she did not show too much emotion.


    Jensen furrowed his brow, looking at Hayes.He was suddenly having trouble understanding this man.


    Perhaps people like them were born heartless, and to them women were just a source of interest, not


    emotion.


    Kendall burst intoughter.


    "Sounds good, a woman that Hayes has had a taste of must be something special."
