Angela had been sent out to investigate and observe Adam and those around him straight away, and she accepted the task as it was exactly what she wanted.

She knew that there was something weird about him and so many weird things were happening that were unexplainable by normal means, and after she found out, wasn't amazed but more curious and wary.

​​

"Cultivation needs to be regulated so that everyone is safe, as otherwise, if one person is super strong, they will believe they are above the law, just like that bastard Adam," she told herself.

Most of Adam's records, history and information had already been gathered by Angela within a short while and while sitting outside Adam's building in her undercover car, she saw Jannet leave the apartment building alone.

Immediately after seeing her, she began to follow her and followed the taxi that Jannet took to a nice restaurant, where she met up with a good looking man who seemed to be in his early 40s.

Everything seemed normal and she had dressed nicely and seemed to be happy to see him until she saw them both suddenly get grabbed and placed in the back of a large white van.

Jannet was screaming for help, while the man she was with was calm and seemed to be in on it as the van quickly drove away before anyone could do anything.

Since she had been instructed not to engage, Angela wasn't allowed to do anything and didn't use her sirens, which would give her away, but she still trailed the van as she couldn't watch a woman get kidnapped and not do anything about it.

Checking Jannet's report, her life seemed quite sad and everything she had done was for her adoptive son, who turned out to be a monstrous killer in the eyes of Angela Valdez.

She tailed the van for hours and even switched cars along the way so that she didn't look suspicious and it seemed as though they never caught onto her as they stopped at a warehouse that was far away from the centre of the city.

Getting out of the van were 4 burly men that didn't seem to be cultivators, but were still enough to completely dominate Jannet with their weight and strength and the man that Jannet was on a date with.

What shocked Angela was that the man was the one that was leading Janet into the warehouse and seemed to be the leader of the burly men as they all celebrated and led the tied up lady into the warehouse.

There were a lot of crates, pillars and places to hide in the warehouse, which was good for Angela who snuck in without any fear and withdrew her weapon, prepared to shoot in order to save Jannet who had been listed as an important individual by their police station.

Angela was in two minds about Adam. After he had saved her at the restaurant, she didn't understand why he did so and she saw that he was only fighting to save the young women, which she wouldn't expect from him as she saw him as a monster.

However after the incident, she went over all the reports that involved Adam and each time, he had only ever harmed or killed someone that was bad and involved in crime and along the way had helped quite a few people, which made her think that his intentions weren't bad.

His life wasn't an easy one either and she read that he refused government support as that would mean that he would stay in school and his aunt would be in debt after she woke up from her coma, and worked for himself and her medical bills.

She couldn't judge as she saw her family as good people but were involved in criminal activities, but from what she knew, Jannet was innocent and a good woman that had been tricked and kidnapped by those men.

All the previous times that Angela had been scared to fire her gun had scarred her and she had been going to the firing range every single day and practising her aim, so that when it came to it, she would be able to accurately wound her target without killing them.

"Boss, you really are amazing. You are so handsome that you had her falling for you within less than a month" praised one of the burly men.

"Of course I am, and as long as we keep her here and do what the big boss says, he will pay us a lot of money" stated the man proudly.

Jannet began struggling and had cried her eyes out in the van, but had calmed down and instead became angry.

"Stop struggling you stupid bitch" scolded the man as he pulled off the tape that was covering her lips.

"You bastard. I thought that we had something and could have been together, but it seems that just like most men, you are a scumbag" she cursed as she spat on him.

Jannet was a very kind and respectful woman normally, but she was hurt by him and wanted to let out what she was feeling.

The man instantly became angry and shouted, "You bitch," as he slapped her across the face.

Jannet who was tied to a chair couldn't keep her balance and fell backwards as a red hand mark was imprinted on her face. However, Jannet didn't cry or moan about the pain and instead smiled at them as she thought about her son and Chase.

"Are you going to kill me?" she asked directly and bravely, which shocked them all and Angela who was listening in on what was going on.

Wanting to make her despair, the man told the truth and answered, "No. The boss wants you alive so that he can use you to get your adoptive son".

Angela was expecting something like that to be the case, and just like the kidnappers, expected that Jannet would be worried or upset, but instead, she smiled.
