him.”
Benjamin’s eyes widened in disbelief. Then his expression darkened.
“Got it, Carlisle.”
Carlisle continued, “While you’re at it, see how many more of their people are embedded with us. Get rid of all the moles
“Understood.”
Benjamin nodded firmly and quickly walked out.
Carlisle stubbed out his cigarette and leaned back on the couch, rubbing his nose.
Francis, who had been standing behind Carlisle, asked, “How did you figure it out?”
Carlisle, still rubbing his nose, explained, “He never looked me in the eye. The eyes are the windows to the
soul. He was afraid he’d give himself away, so he avoided looking at me.”
Francis nodded in understanding. His admiration for Carlisle grew even stronger.
Carlisle hadn’t eaten at A1 Seafood Restaurant, and his stomach started to grumble.
“Owen, who has the three million dollars?”
“I brought it back and left it
on your bed.”
“Good. Go downstairs and buy some deli meats and a few beers.”
“Will do.”
Benjamin returned to the disco.
Hook got out of the car and opened the door for Benjamin.
Benjamin patted Hook on the shoulder.
“You did well in front of Carlisle. He even praised you. Come to my office. I’ll reward you with two thousand dollars.”
“Thank you, Benjamin.
Hook’s face lit up as he followed Benjamin toward the office.
Benjamin clenched his left hand into a fist behind his back.
The guys trailing behind exchanged glances and then followed along.
Chapter 328
Benjamin walked into Heath’s office and sat down in his chair.
Hook rubbed his hands together, looking slightly guilty.
“Benjamin, honestly, I didn’t do that well. You can just give me a thousand.”
The office door slammed shut with a bang.
Hook looked back in surprise and saw the four guys who had escaped with him standing by the door.
“Ben… Benjamin… you….”
“Tell me, are you working for Titan or Jalen?”
Benjamin pulled a black knife from the drawer. It was the one Heath used for cutting off fingers.
Hook started shaking.
“Benjamin… I–I don’t know what you mean. I’m loyal to Wade!”
Benjamin gave a signal to the guys behind Hook.
They rushed him, and Hook fought back hard, quickly taking down two of them. But the other two managed to pin him to the ground.
Benjamin said calmly, “Drag him to the warehouse. We’ll stop when he’s ready to talk.”
The two who had been knocked down got back up and started beating Hook, who curled up on the floor, covering his head without making a sound.
A few guys carried Hook to the warehouse.
Benjamin, holding the knife, walked out of the office.
At the same time, Kelvin, sitting in a corner drinking, saw everything.
The guy next to him with the dyed blond hair nudged him and grinned, “Don’t worry. Benjamin won’t last long either.
Kelvin took a long swig from his glass. With Heath and Wade in trouble, his 100 thousand dollars was as good as gone. Feeling down, he went to Wade’s disco to drink.
The blond guy, who had bummed a cigarette off him earlier, turned out to be Landon Johnston, a close associate of Jalen. Landon was present to keep an eye on Heath’s crew.
Landon chuckled.
“Hey buddy, you got any more cash? Lend me ten dollars so I can book a private room for the night.”
Kelvin pulled out a hundred dollars and handed it to Landon.
Impressed by Kelvin’s generosity, Landon said, “You’re a real pal. I’m sticking with you.”
Sipping his beer, Kelvin asked, “Can I join you guys? I just don’t want to be bullied at school anymore.

Landon took a swig straight from the bottle.
“That’s easy. This guy, Alex Holder, is a big shot at Riverland University. He’s our boss‘ nephew. I’m on good terms with him. I’ll introduce you tomorrow.”
