Chapter 1274 The Second Young Master Has Arrived


    Raeleigh only found out that Jepherson had left when she got up the next morning. Xanthus said from


    down the stairs, "He had a misunderstanding. He thought that there was something between you and


    Flynt. He was just upset for a second."


    Raeleigh began descending the stairs. She knew this, of course, but she didn''t think it was anything


    bad.


    "I know he must have misunderstood." After she finished breakfast, she followed Xanthus to visit Flynt.


    However, when they arrived at the hospital, they were blocked off by the Cole family, so they didn''t go


    in.


    "Let''s go home then." Raeleigh wasn''t exactly dying to see Flynt anyway. She thought to herself that if


    Jepherson had hurt Flynt out of a moment''s rage, it meant that he had been wrongly used. If this


    was the case, who was the real culprit then?


    It was probably Flynt himself. Perhaps he was fine after all.


    Thus, it didn''t matter whether she looked into this or not.


    Raeleigh followed Xanthus back to the car and went to school together. On their way there, Xanthus


    received a call from the hospital, saying that they needed his help. Xanthus quickly turned the car


    around, but something was blocking the road ahead. The car came to a stop.


    "I''ll go check it out. Don''t leave the car." Xanthus unfastened his seat belt and then got out of the car


    while Raeleigh poked her head out to take a look. Several people got out of their cars with something in

    their hands. Raeleigh noticed this and got out of the car right away. She flung the door open as she ran


    towards Xanthus. With her hand on his arm, she immediately pulled him with her as she ran away.


    "Run, someone is after us!" Raeleigh shouted at him as they ran towards a crowded area. Xanthus


    looked back and saw five men chasing after them.


    Then, Xanthus held her hand and sped up his pace.


    The people behind them were still chasing after them. Raeleigh was unfit so she couldn''t keep running


    for long.


    "Call Jepherson." Xanthus tried to hide Raeleigh away, but the men had caught up with him. Raeleigh


    picked up her phone and dialed for Jepherson.


    When Jepherson answered the phone, Xanthus was already fighting with the men.


    The men were armed with knives, so Xanthus did what he could to protect Raeleigh. Weaponless, he


    was ced at a great disadvantage.


    "Where are you?" Jepherson stood up, picked up his jacket, and walked towards the door. After


    learning where she was Raeleigh, quickly told him her location.


    She hung up the phone and looked for a way out, but the roads were blocked.


    "What''s going on?" Jepherson asked as he leaned out of the car. Stuart replied, "There''s a traffic jam


    ahead."


    "It''s not rush hour right now. Someone must have arranged this."


    "Sir, could it be..."


    "Shut up!"


    Jepherson''s frown etched deeper on his forehead, his mood incredibly sour. Stuart quickly shut his


    mouth.


    A few secondster, Jepherson gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the car and find Raeleigh. Don''t


    get into trouble. I''m here, so no one will stop you."


    "Yes, Sir."


    After Stuart got out of the car, he dashed right in front of the crowd. Jepherson sat in the car, clutching


    his phone tightly in his hands when Paige suddenly called.


    Jepherson hesitated for a few seconds before answering. He heard Paige''s calm voice from the other


    end of the line.


    "Whether she lives or dies, it depends on what you say."


    Jepherson gritted her teeth. "Do you think I''ll be scared?"


    "I don''t care whether you are afraid or not. If you don''t promise to marry Ste, I will have someone


    leave a nice, little gift on Raeleigh''s face."


    Jepherson gripped his phone hard, his breathing heavy andbored.


    The driver looked over at Jepherson and thought that Jepherson must be in trouble as hisplexion


    looked terrible.


    ...


    Xanthus never stopped protecting Raeleigh, even as the men forced them into a corner.


    "Did you think you could run away?" One of them who was holding a knife asked as he stared at them.


    At first, there had only been five of them, but that number had turned to eight in a blink of an eye.


    Xanthus was very skilled at fighting; only these strange men were injured after fighting for so long.


    Since they didn''t dare take any chances with Xanthus, they had called for backup which led to them


    cornering Xanthus and Raeleigh into a dead end.


    "Did you call him?" Xanthus asked Raeleigh, his forehead beaded in sweat. She held on tightly onto his


    arm. "I did, but I still don''t see him."


    "Something must have happened. Don''t panic." Xanthus turned around andforted her. Then, he


    took a look at the approaching men.


    "You''re only doing this for money, but we don''t hold that against you. I''ll give you more money if you just


    let us go."


    Xanthus took out his wallet, grabbed some credit cards, and tossed them on the ground. "There are


    millions of dors on those. If that''s not enough, I will ask my people to send more over. I''ll tell you the


    password. If you''re worried, get someone to collect the money first. We''ll wait."


    "We aren''t short of money. We''re afraid of losing our lives. Today, someone wants us to rough you up. If


    you really want to get revenge, you should look for the person who hired us to hunt you down. Now, we


    want your lives."


    "Are you really going to do this in broad daylight? How reckless are you people? So careless..."


    Xanthus tried pushing Raeleigh away with his body, but she refused and kept holding on to his arm. "I


    won''t leave you. We''re leaving together."


    "No one leaves. We won''t let you."


    "Shouldn''t I be asked if they could be let go? Do you think you have the final say?" Two men appeared


    from the other end of the alley. The man who spoke had a long, ck jacket on. A wide fur cor was


    wrapped around his hat that covered half of his face. Hearing his voice, they could tell it was Santiago.


    "Santiago?"


    Raeleigh cried out to him. Santiago slowly raised his gaze and took off his hat. He looked at Raeleigh,


    and saw how pale her face was. He looked at her and then at Jacky, who was dressed the same way


    except for the hat.


    "I''ll leave this to you."


    "Me again?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Jacky''s handsome face, his eyes lit up at what Santiago


    said. Although he was slightly unwilling to do this, he didn''t exactly mind either.


    Santiago red at him. "It''s fine if you don''t want to."


    "It''s all good..."


    After saying that, Jacky got into a preparatory stance and waved his hand at the men. "Come on, the


    lot of you."


    The men looked at Jacky, "Who are you? Mind your own business."


    "In Capital City, there''s nothing I don''t have control over. Come then, I''ll take care of all of you today."


    The corners of Jacky''s mouth curled up into a smile.


    Some men who stood in front of him exchanged nces before walking towards him while the others


    surrounded Santiago.


    "Mr. Santiago, please don''t make things difficult for us. We''re just following orders." The moment they


    saw Santiago, they knew how things would end.


    However, Santiago was the Second Young Master of the Harvey family. They had to greet him properly.


    Santiagoughed. "I''m not home at the moment. Are you all just trying to suck up to my father?"


    "We''re just following orders, Mr. Santiago."


    "Whose orders?"


    "... We can''t say."


    "If you don''t tell me, you''ll die. If I kill you, what can any of you do to me?" Santiago smiled as he


    walked forward. He put his hands in his pockets before calmly walking towards Raeleigh.
