CHAPTER 82

The cops received an anonymous call and arrived at the underground tunnel as fast as they could, but what awaited them was beyond what they had expected or imagined. “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The whole underground tunnel had collapsed. “What in the world happened here?” Now, they had no idea if anyone was even trapped inside or not.

Later that night.

A clean red Porsche arrived at the Sterling villa. After seeing Benjamin, the guard said, “Did you get the Porsche serviced? It looks fresh.” Benjamin gave a thumbs-up before driving through the gate. After he parked the car, he was walking into the villa, but his ears caught the distant noise of the birds in distress. What bothered him was that the noises didn’t come from the trees but from the dorms. He had a bad feeling about it. He rushed straight to the dorms and kicked the door open, waking up the butlers and cleaners. He went to the storage room, and it was locked. He looked at the butlers. “Where’s the key?” he demanded.

“What the fuck? You not only barged into the dorms and disturbed our sleep, but now you ask for the storage room key so arrogantly!” one of the butlers raised his voice angrily. “Did you forget your place, Unpaid Maid?” “I won’t ask again,” Benjamin’s stare tightened, Johnny glanced at one of the cleaners who stepped forward. “I have it, but I won’t give you shit,” he came closer to Benjamin with his chin lifted high. “You think we’re gonna treat you differently just because you managed to get on the good side of Madam Rebecca? If you thought so, you are wrong. So what are you gonna do now?” He was slightly taller than Benjamin and had a construction worker’s physique. “You are gonna go and complain to your wife now, aren’t yo-bwugh,” he suddenly coughed blood as something struck his belly. His eyes turned white as he collapsed forward and his chin rested on Benjamin’s shoulder. Benjamin pushed his face aside, and he collapsed on the floor, almost lifelessly.

The butlers and the cleaners were astonished.

“Where’s the key?” Benjamin asked.

One of the butlers took the keys out from under his pillow and quickly came over to Benjamin. He snatched the keys and opened the door. Inside the room, the parrots were locked in a cage, with their wings plucked, beaks broken, and nails crushed. They were shivering in pain and made weak noises.

Benjamin’s gut twisted. As he clenched his fist, a vein bulged in his arm, and the bulge traveled up his arm and all the way up to the neck. The sliding sweat drop touched the bulging vein and hissed and turned into vapor.
