A surge of gratitude washed over Nathaniel as he listened to Janelle's soft voice. Though the rest of the Elite Forces looked awful, they could not help feeling as though their lives had been saved.

Jacob merely shook his head at his younger sister.

After taking over the phone and realizing it was Willow who called him, he asked with a smile, "Are you interested in joining a charity auction with me?"

"Yes!" Janelle's face lit up at once. However, in the next moment, her excitement disappeared. "But I still have to do some revision later."

"Maybe next time then, school is more important after all." Jacob shrugged, since there would be more opportunities to come.

"As for the five of you…" He frowned coldly. "Paramount is big yet small at the same time. Don't let me see you again."

A glimmer of silver shone dejectedly on Nathaniel's mask. With a slight nod, he said, "We are incredibly impressed with your skills, Mr. Lynch. Of course, we will avoid you at all costs!"


With that, the five of them left in low spirits.

As Evelyn watched the five of them leave, fear crept into her heart. Meanwhile, she was also quite unhappy with them.

Initially, this incident would have been resolved if I convinced my father to give up half his assets. But you guys suddenly stood up for me. In the end, after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, you left just like that. What's going to happen to me and my family?

Though she felt bitter about it, she carefully shifted her gaze away.

Janelle could not help herself after seeing her pitiful demeanor, so she said in a soft voice, "Jacob, since it's getting dark soon, let's head back."

Jacob smiled when he saw his sister's clear eyes that were void of all impurities.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head at Steven. "On my sister's behalf, I'll forgive you today. But bear in mind that even though you've just escaped death, there's more hardships in life awaiting you," he warned icily before turning around. Without a second glance at them, he continued, "From tomorrow onward, go to the most rural area in the south with your family of four without a single cent on you, and beg people for money. After one month, donate 70% of your assets to the children's welfare center there. If I find that you gave a single cent less… Tsk, tsk!"

When she heard Jacob's orders, she heaved a sigh of relief and replied obediently, "Don't worry about that, Mr. Lynch. We, the Winston family, will definitely carry out your orders!"

Despite the wind raging on, the junkyard became completely silent.

"I hope you don't mind me speaking for the entire family just now, Dad." Evelyn looked at her father after heaving a long sigh.

"Of course not!" Steven still looked slightly dazed and dejected. "We are going to rely on you from now onwards!"
