Chapter 251 (Fair Punishment)

Shock colored Gene's features as he listened on. In a daze, he grabbed the contract from the bed and was alarmed to see his signature and seal on it.

If Jacob hadn't shown up, the contract would've been processed, and I would have been deemed a criminal in Pentagon. Worse yet, I might even be arrested!

"Mr. Ludlow, there's no need to thank me. I'm merely trying to protect the well-being of the citizens of Pentagon!" Jacob flashed him a faint smile.
