Chapter 265 Benjamin Graham Is A Jerk âHey, this is good enough, right? Itâs a part of the mountain range, so you guys can go back and report to your employer now,â shouted Kingsley as he turned around to talk to the bodyguards. My gosh, is it really necessary for them to be so strict? And to think I used to share all the good stuff with them...
âMr. Graham has made it clear that we are to escort you both deep into the mountain range where you will spend the night,â informed the leader of the bodyguards. He remained unmoved as he gestured for the two men to continue moving forward.
Kingsleyâs lips twitched vigorously upon hearing that. âIâve learned my lesson. Isnât that enough?â
The leader ignored him.
âLetâs just go,â said Shaun. He rolled his eyes at Kingsley. Thereâs no point in begging, so youâre really just wasting your breath.
Kingsley pouted, but he had no choice. He had to follow Shaun along and keep going.
Something moved in the dark as they traveled into the forest.
âAh!â
Kingsley jumped out of his skin and hugged Shaun, almost knocking the latter over.
âWhat the hell are you shouting for?â growled the infuriated Shaun.
âI-I heard something,â replied Kingsley in a fearful tone.
Shaun rolled his eyes and informed, âThatâs just a rat. Geez, I canât believe that all it takes is a rat to scare you out of your wits.â
âR-Rat?â
Kingsley scanned around with his guard up. It was dark out, and the branches were swaying and creaking with each howl from the wind.
The bodyguards were speechless as they followed closely behind the men.
As everyone ventured deeper into the forest, the place became colder and colder.
Something in Kingsley snapped when he saw the graveyard, and he freaked out.
âIâm going back!â
Kingsley abandoned Shaun and turned around to get out of the place, but the bodyguards stopped him.
âMr. Graham told us to inform you that if you leave the mountain range tonight, we will take you to an abandoned island instead.â
Horror flashed past Kingsleyâs face. âBenjamin Graham, you jerk!â
Shaun shook his head and continued forging ahead.
The bodyguards, on the other hand, watched while Kingsley screamed as though he had lost his mind. Eventually, Kingsley came back around and chased after Shaun to keep up.
Thank the heavens that Shaun is here with me! Kingsley held on to Shaunâs arm tightly.
Shaun stared at the arm that Kingsley had pretty much attached himself to. The former didnât really know what to say about the situation, so he let the latter keep hugging that arm.
Who wouldâve thought that this idiot is actually that afraid of the dark and ghosts?
âThat jerk is inhumane! I am so cutting ties with him,â complained Kingsley endlessly. Unfortunately, Benjamin wasnât there to hear all that.
Kingsley wouldnât have said all that aloud if Benjamin was within hearing range, though.
âWhy didnât you complain aloud earlier?â teased Shaun.
Kingsley gritted his teeth and refuted, âWell, why didnât you?â
Shaun chuckled and replied, âI have no intention of complaining whatsoever because, unlike you, Iâm not a retard. Seriously, I wonât even be here if it werenât for your stupidity.â
Kingsley couldnât refute that, so he shut up.
When they reached the designated location, the bodyguards turned around and left.
âOy, are you guys leaving just like that? Arenât you going to keep an eye on us to make sure that we wonât sneak out?â shouted Kingsley to the bodyguards.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 264 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You His shouts scared the birds and got them flapping their wings and flying away. That turned Kingsley pale with fear and got him to tighten his grip on Shaunâs arm.
âMr. Graham knows where you are, but you are welcome to leave if you are not afraid of his punishments,â replied the leader of the bodyguards before he led his men and left the place. There are too many mosquitoes around here, so itâs better if we head back to the hospital.
âYou cruel, wicked thing!â growled Kingsley.
After the bodyguards left, Kingsley and Shaun became the only ones there. That frightened Kingsley even more, and the trees in the surrounding area looked so eerie that he had goosebumps.
Shaun scanned their surroundings and saw a small gazebo some distance ahead, so he walked over.
âWhy are we venturing deeper into the place?â asked Kingsley. His arms and legs were trembling as he held on to Shaun tightly.
Shaun turned to the guy and replied, âYou are welcome to stay if you donât want to go with me.â
âDonât you dare leave me!â growled Kingsley while glaring over.
Shaun chuckled a little and continued walking ahead. âThereâs a gazebo up ahead,â said Shaun.
Kingsley followed closely behind while looking around warily with his guard up. He was worried that something might hop out of nowhere and ambush them.
Maybe the place really was haunted, or maybe it was all in Kingsleyâs mind, but he felt something chilly brushing against his neck.
âS-Shaun, do you feel that something is off?â
