Chapter 1405 A Conversation
At this time, there were a dozen of cars trying to intercept the ambnce that Jepherson and the rest
were travelling in. However, Jepherson, too, was travelling in a convoy, but his convoy was constantly
intercepted by the other cars. Every now and then, a loud bang could be heard outside, but Jepherson
was unfazed. He sat in the ambnce reading the newspaper without even looking up once. He would
asionally smile at something he read. The rest of the upants in the ambnce could not help but
wonder how a young man like him could be so calm amid this road stunt.
As his calm was contagious, the fear that had once beset the rest in the ambnce gradually
disappeared.
Outside of the ambnce, it was chaos. A couple of cars, part of Jepherson''s convoy, were hit by the
cars that was chasing the ambnce. The ones that remained at their wheels did their best to protect
the ambnce.
As the ambnce turned onto another road, suddenly a bus appeared out of nowhere and sped
towards them. However, it suddenly screeched to a stop in front of the ambnce.
The driver mmed on the breaks and immediately said, "We''re blocked."
"Find a way to get through."
Jepherson said as he continued reading his newspaper. This was the first time Xanthus had seen
anyone so calm andposed in the face of danger.
The driver tried to go around the bus but failed.
Suddenly, a group of people started climbing onto the ambnce. Traces of worry crept down the
doctors'' spines, but Xanthus''s first instinct was to protect Stuart. He immediately took out a syringe and
gave Stuart an injection.
Stuart stared at Jepherson without saying anything. He gradually fell asleep.
Jepherson continued to read the newspaper when suddenly, the ambnce door burst opened. Just
then, two men dressed in ck jumped into the ambnce, took out their guns and aimed it at Stuart.
Jepherson threw the newspaper at the two men, temporarily obstructing their view. At the same time,
Jepherson got to his feet and kicked one of them and his shot missed. The other person managed to
get rid of the newspaper from his face but his gun was soon snatched away by Jepherson. After that,
Jepherson pressed him down on the ground, immobilizing him.
Jepherson was ruthless, but he had no intentions to kill. After that, he kicked those men out of the
ambnce, before firing into the air the gun that was in his hands, emptying the bullets.
The doctors that were in the ambnce started to tremble with fear when they heard the gunshots.
Their eyes widened as they stared at Jepherson. Once Jepherson was done, he wiped down the gun
with a towel before tossing it out onto the ground.
The attackers were frightened down to the soles of their shoes when Jepherson red at them. No one
dared to approach him.
Suddenly, Jepherson''s men appeared from all directions. Not long after, the two groups began to fight.
The driver quickly closed the door while Jepherson resumed his seat. Then, the driver started car and
they continued on with their journey.
After Jepherson took his seat, Xanthus looked at him and said, "I can''t imagine what kind of life
Raeleigh would be living if she followed you."
"I am not a viin, but because of my position, I have be on guard at all times.
It just like how a baby girl was kidnapped because her parents had offended someone.
I don''t wish harm on anyone, but I have to be on guard of the harm that others might do to me.
Assuming that my child was in this ambnce, and those thugs earlier who somehow detest me and
want to hurt my child. Hah, when hell freezes over, I''d say.
I''m not a sinner by any means but there''s still a long road ahead of me. I do not condone evil, but evil
has sucked me into this. If the vengeance is mine, then it shall be mine to repay. I have no choice.
Since I have to deal with them, I will do it my way. This is ''survival of the fittest'', though I will not resort
to killing them.
There''s a lot of people under my wing. If I can''t handle those thugs, then I am not qualified to protect
anyone.
I will take the matters of their survival into my own hands."
"Is this the only way?" Xanthus asked as he leaned back in his seat. He thought about his family''s
situation. Maybe it was really like what Jepherson said. If he had the ability, perhaps Raeleigh would
not have been kidnapped.

"Should you kill others, it would be an eye for an eye. You might be able to protect this generation, but
not the next."
"There is only so much I can care. If this generation was eliminated, there would not be a next
generation.
My father did not like dealing with officials because they were ruthless and unforgiving. They only care
about their personal gain and are usually overpowered by greed. They are willing y dirty in order to
get to the top. In the end, they be corrupted.
Everything they did was wrong.
My father felt that it is only doomsday waiting to happen if a businessman relied on any officials. Even
their families would be affected.
Which is why he did not like interacting with officials.
But then again, if you did not have any political backing, you can''t go far either.
Officials are ruthless. They want money and are willing to kill. They are bloodsuckers if I''ve ever seen
one.
Dare I say, those foreign women are no stranger to adultery. When they fall in love with another alpha
man, they would then get together with him, all the while they were fully willing to.
In our country, people with power and influence have twisted hearts. Some are even perverts,
especially those officials. A handful of them are already in their fifties and sixties. Some even even
have grandchildren, yet they go around flirting with the wives and daughters of rich businessmen. They
would spend a night with them and then offer them a government project in return. The officials would
then use it to ckmail the businessmen. This means of power y is certainly beyond our
imagination. Those wives and daughters of rich businessmen are their secret weapon.
Human were born kind-hearted. Say, a newborn baby would naturally greet another person with a
smile. Adults y a major role in how their children turn out. It is from them that the children learn to
worship the rich and discriminate against the poor.
That is why the officialdom is dangerous and my father despises it."
Xanthus replied with a question, "You''re saying that you guys are wealthy merchants. The reason why
your family is doing this now is that you''re all worried about being killed, so your family set up your own
protection barrier. Your purpose is to protect yourself and not hurt anyone else."
"Good people in business world are few and far in between. I''ve only seen a handful of people that are
like my father. So, I admit-money is the root of all evil.
Men or women, they would still be unable to control themselves. After all, everyone had desires.
I can''t even guarantee what my future would look like."
"It''s a high-sounding saying of using evil to fight evil."
Xanthus was unmoved. Jepherson did not care either, but he still said, "My mother suffered a
miscarriage when I was young. I was kidnapped and was nTristany thrown down the cliff but my mother
caught me. However, she was unable to save herself and eventually fell off the cliff. That''s how she
miscarried. My sister was the most innocent person in an incident that should not have happened.
This was a blow to my family.
Santiago and I were then sent forbat training. We would always go home covered in bruises and
cuts. My father would then ask us if we were willing to acquiesce, and we would say no. He would also
ask us whether we wanted to give up, and we would shake our heads.
We might have been young, but we both knew that in this world, the weak are always the prey to the
strong. If we aren''t able to protect ourselves and our family, then we are doomed."
