“Boss!” A young man in his twenties called out to Jacob. “There’s something suspicious about the explosion. We suspect that some explosives were mixed into a parcel, and the parcel was sent to the house.” “Boss!” A young man in his twenties called out to Jacob. “There’s something suspicious about the explosion.

Jacob was infuriated yet relieved at the same time. If he hadn’t brought Heidi to the house with the toys… He gripped his daughter tightly.
His eyes reddened. “Find out who is behind this. Even if you must investigate every single person in Paramount.”
“Yes, boss!” The young man lowered his head in shame. The Shadow Squad’s negligence was a disgrace. If something had happened to the boss’ daughter, only death could compensate for their mistake!
Heidi, who was clinging to Jacob, watched with her bright eyes as the Shadow Ranger disappeared. She put her mouth close to Jacob’s ears. “I have seen that man many times!”
“I asked him to protect Heidi Buddy. You can’t tell anyone, okay?” Jacob said softly.
She pouted. “Not even Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Moira?”
Jacob’s heart melted at his daughter’s cuteness. “You can tell anyone you want.” He paused and pulled out his phone to call Jerry.
When the call connected, Jacob raised his brow. “What’s that noise in the background?”
At the entrance of The Pavilion, Jerry punched a man armed with a dagger to the ground. “Boss, it’s nothing big. Just a few people with a death wish at the hotel.”
“There’s trouble at yours too?” Jacob frowned and said in a low voice, “Do you need backup?”
“No.” Jerry snatched a dagger and slashed three men’s necks with ease. “Boss, you’ve forgotten. This is Draco Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters in Paramount. There’s only about twenty men to fight here. It won’t be enough for my men.”
Tossing the dagger into the air, Jerry plunged it into a man dashing towards him. “Boss, I’ll head to where you’re at when I’m done.”
“No. Go to Rowan Lane after this.”
Jacob hung up the phone and called Trey. “Where are you now?”
“Boss, there’s uninvited guests at Rowan Lane, but you don’t have to worry. Your family is safe.”
“Good,” Jacob nodded, “my family’s safety comes first. Show no mercy to any threats.”
At the entrance of Harleydale Senior High.
“Be careful.” A shadow flitted by Janelle. With a loud bang, the car rolled several times on the road before stopping overturned. Blood dripped from the car.
“Victoria?!” Janelle, on the ground, gaped as her new friend appeared next to the black sedan on the road and flipped it over with a punch.
Victoria turned towards Janelle. Her cornea was filled with blood. “Are you okay?”
“Watch out!” Janelle widened her eyes.
“Boss!” A young man in his twenties called out to Jacob. “There’s something suspicious about the explosion. We suspect that some explosives were mixed into a parcel, and the parcel was sent to the house.”
