Ramon quickly grabbed the gun that was on his waist and pointed it at Pyro's head with a savage look on. He was ready to kill.

Anger had blinded him and he could not tolerate this.

Pyro's failure in his job, putting his wife and future child in danger now was something Ramon could not accept.

On the other hand, the other bodyguards held their breaths at the scene. They were very surprised to see Ramon's reaction and also how he looked now.

Never had they seen Mr. Tordoff being so furious, until resorting to such an extreme decision without much thought.

They all held their breaths to see what would happen next, it didn't feel like just a second had passed, as it dragged too long and Pyro could only close his eyes in the face of death that was rapidly approaching him.

A moment later, a single and crisp gunshot could be heard and not a single one of them couldn't hold their breath at what was happening before their eyes.

It took a few seconds longer for them to understand what actually happened.

The bullet had indeed been fired from the gun that Ramon was holding, but the bullet did not penetrate Pyro's head. It only scratched his temple and left a wound that now oozed fresh blood on the side of the bodyguard's face.

While behind Ramon, the bodyguards who had followed him back from the party had just arrived and got out of the cars.

They were no less surprised when they saw Mr. Tordoff pointed his gun at Pyro and heard gunshots.

What happened? Is Mr. Ramon intending to kill Pyro? They all shuddered. Because Ramon never once acted mean toward his people, though they couldn't say the same to his enemies.

Therefore, what they saw now was something that left them in shock and speechless.

Luckily, Ramon changed his mind at the last second and fired the bullet slightly to the side.

Apparently, the self-control that Ramon cultivated was still functioning well, as he still had complete control over himself and didn't let his anger and intent to kill completely overwhelm him and blind his ability in assessing the situation.

He still needed Pyro to get Hailee back.

Ramon still needed Pyro' skilss and killing this man would only slow down the process of finding his wife.

"Stand up," Ramon said in a low voice. He lowered his gun, but the tension in the air was still palpable.

Meanwhile, slowly, Pyro stood up, his body shaking and he couldn't believe he had just made his way past death's door with just a thin line of Ramon's sense of consciousness coming just in time.

Pyro didn't even dare to look Ramon in the eye when he finally stood up and faced the man, because the Ramon who was in front of him now, was terrifying. Even for him, who had repeatedly seen death or been involved in other heinous deeds.

The bodyguard couldn't even utter a word, as if Ramon's presence alone was pressuring enough for him. He also didn't feel the pain in his temple which was scratched by the bullet and was now bleeding.

"Gather everyone and find out about the background of the missing bodyguard."

"Yes, Sir," replied Pyro in a trembling voice. He didn't realize how violently his body was shaking under Ramon's cold gaze until he gave him an answer.

After saying this, Ramon got into his car and left the place.

It was only after the man left that they could all breathe better again. It was a very terrible experience.

But, the bad news is; it wouldn't be over until they found Mrs. Tordoff.

They only hoped that Mrs. Tordoff would be fine, or else…they couldn't imagine what kind of hell Mr. Tordoff would put them through, considering how protective he was of his wife.

================ 

Ramon returned to the Tordoff residence, after giving orders to bring Lis home by force, while Lexus was still at the hotel to see the event to the end, of course with double security that left him uncomfortable.

Lexus grumbled many times, but since the bodyguards received direct orders from Ramon, the only way to get an explanation was to ask his brother directly.

Only, Ramon could not be contacted at all. Not a single call from Lexus was picked up by him.

And this raised suspicion and a lot of speculation in Lexus's already over-thinking brain.

Therefore, throughout the event there was only one thing that Lexus wanted, namely; ending it quickly before heading home to find out what was really going on.

Meanwhile, Ramon walked into his house, which had now been cleaned of the remnants of the fight that had taken place, with quick and decisive steps.

In the living room, Lis was waiting for Ramon with a twisted face. She had never been treated this badly before.


How could Ramon force Lis to just leave the event? Even though Ramon might find something unpleasant after talking to Leon, shouldn't he hold back until the event is over and talk about it? Because after all, what happened there could jeopardize the image of the Tordoff family and the company.

At this point, Lis still didn't realize what had really happened, because no one had told her and by the time she had arrived at the Tordoff residence, nothing about the house gave a reason for her to worry about.

"Leave us alone," said Ramon coldly as soon as he saw his mother sitting on the sofa. From the expression on her face, Ramon could tell that what he had done had angered Lis.

However, the anger inside him was far greater than Lis'...

Hearing Ramon's order, all the bodyguards rushed out of the room, leaving Ramon and Lis alone.

"What the hell is this Ramon?!" cried Lis angrily. She stood up to face her son and walked over to him. "You should know how to separate work and personal life! You will ruin the company's image if you do this!"

First, Ramon didn't stay in the party and now Lis disappeared from there. It was a form of disrespect and they would look disrespectful to the invited guests who are important figures in the community, not to mention the sudden power outage. Tonight's party is a complete mess!

Ramon was silent when he heard Lis' accusation, but a moment later, he grabbed the flower vase that was on the table and threw it to the side of the room, which automatically made Lis freeze and scream in terror at how the small shards of the vase scattered on the floor of the house.

"Ramon! What are you doing!" cried Lis with fear. Her body trembled when she saw the strange anger in her son's eyes. "What are you doing!?"

Ramon was still silent. He then took another display piece from the table and did the same.

Seeing this, Lis was at a complete loss for words. She closed her eyes when Ramon did the same thing several times.

Lis covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes tightly and trembled in fear at her son's very similar attitude to his father.

Yes, Ramon's father would do the same whenever he was at the peak of anger. He would vent it like this…

And what Ramon did seemed to bring the trauma of the past back to Lis.

It was unclear how long Ramon did this, but as soon as he finished, the atmosphere plunged into a tense and eerie silence.

Ramon didn't say anything either. He just stood in front of his mother, staring coldly at the woman among the rubble of the things he crushed.

Before this, Ramon had never felt a feeling this strong. A feeling he couldn't describe in words.

Emotions like anger, fury and despair and other feelings mixed together, like a storm inside him and he needed an outlet.

He couldn't possibly hit Lis, just like how he couldn't kill Pyro. His little self-control prevented him from doing that.

Therefore, since Ramon couldn't hurt the people who had made him feel this deeply troubled, this was the only thing he could do to vent it.

Two minutes…

Five minutes…

Ten minutes later, Lis opened her eyes and lowered her hands, then slowly looked at her son who was standing in front of her.

The look in his eyes was still the same. A look full of anger and hatred. Lis felt like she had relieved her worst nightmare.

"What… what are you doing?" she asked in a trembling voice. Not just her voice, her whole body was shaking with fear.

"Your lover took away my wife and I want you to tell me anything you know." Ramon didn't waste his time with sweet words.

He did manage to catch Leon, but Ramon wouldn't approach the madman without enough information on hand, because he knew there would be long negotiations ahead.

Because after all, Ramon would trade Leon's life for Hailee. If something happens to his wife, then Ramon will make Leon beg to kill him.

The suffering Ramon would put him through then would be hard to imagine…

Therefore, Ramon had to gather all the information he could get and start from Lis.

"What? No… no way," Lis rejected the statement. "He wouldn't do anything to harm this family."

Ramon really wanted to laugh at Lis' rejection of the reality that lay before her eyes. How could his mother turn into someone as naive as this?

"I just wanted to tell you, if anything happened to my wife, then there wouldn't be any part of his body left for you to cry over," Ramon said viciously. "Now, start talking."
