Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Affection No More (1)

In the end, Benjamin Ford couldn’t resist anymore. Bryan Hawkins’s calls and texts were so relentless that Benjamin was getting rather annoyed. "Mr. Hawkins, what do you need from me this time?"

It wasn’t that Benjamin didn’t want to follow the orders of the godfather, but the things that Bryan Hawkins asked him to do were simply a waste of his talents, right?

Doing it once or twice was acceptable, but doing such trivial tasks again and again would make him wonder if he could even continue in the underworld. Who was Benjamin Ford? He was known as the noble lord in the underworld.

But what kind of tasks had he been doing recently? Either catching some little-known punks or framing and trapping some insignificant nobodies.

He, the "lord," was meant to handle major tasks. He was not bound by petty details and was meant for fighting and killing. Bryan Hawkins, he truly couldn’t understand him. He used all his connections to handle the kind of tasks they used to disdain in the past.

Now, he was even asked to investigate the disappearance of a child.

What did he think Benjamin’s place was? A human trafficker’s den? A shelter for homeless children? Or did he think his place was the Anti-kidnapping Office?

"Mr. Hawkins, if a child is missing, just report it to the police. You guys pay so much in taxes every year, not to feed worms but to employ those police officers. What’s the point in asking me if the police can’t handle it?" For the first time, Benjamin felt somewhat helpless and wanted to refuse Bryan Hawkins’s request.

He wasn’t a wish-granting Kannon Bodhisattva. Moreover, as long as Bryan Hawkins’s requests were a bit more challenging, he felt that would be fine - at least it would motivate him and his brothers.

But the jobs that Bryan Hawkins found for him always killed their passion, so naturally, they didn’t want to do them.

They were men of dignity and integrity, not the kind to take advantage of little things. They knew what they should do and what rewards they should receive.

"But this isn’t a normal kidnapping. If it were, I would’ve reported it to the police without you even mentioning it. This child is very important to me and might be my future daughter-in-law. You must help me, Benjamin, or I’ll have no choice but to talk to the godfather and tell him my future daughter-in-law might be gone." Bryan Hawkins actually started to act shamelessly.

He knew what Benjamin Ford did for a living. It indeed would be a waste of his talents to make him do these tasks, but Bryan was recommended by the godfather, and Bryan only trusted Benjamin’s abilities.

Benjamin’s execution efficiency was genuinely impressive, which showed how extensive his connections were.

"...Really, Mr. Hawkins? Arranging child marriages now? Where did you learn that?" Benjamin felt a headache coming on, probably because he had drunk too much wine last night. He never expected that Bryan would shamelessly resort to such tactics. A future daughter-in-law?

The status of this future daughter-in-law could be either big or small. If the godfather knew that Bryan had seen his family members in danger without helping, he wouldn’t know how the godfather would deal with him after he left prison.

He had to give it to Bryan, who always threatened him with the godfather.

"It’s for the kids. I have no choice." Bryan Hawkins shrugged, knowing that Benjamin had agreed.

"Mr. Hawkins, we need to be clear about this. In the future, try not to involve me in these tasks. Next time, I’ll introduce someone else to you. For these minor tasks, just ask him. When there’s a big task, give me a call, and I won’t hesitate to do it." Benjamin agreed, but this would be the last time he agreed to do Bryan’s bidding without principles.

"Next time I’ll call you to invite you to my wedding banquet." Bryan Hawkins joked. The godfather should be released around the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Of course, there might be another time. When the godfather is released, maybe we can have a casual meal together."
