AFTER 1 MINUTE, Henchman#Leader cursed to himself upon realizing what just happened. "F***!" He rushed to grab Jesse by her shoulder, but of course, Jesse despised people's dirty hands the most, her slender leg shot up, hitting Henchman#Leader squarely on his chin. He experienced a slight dizzy spell.
"Leader... what are you doing?" Confused with his leader's actions and unable to comprehend what Jesse did as she appeared so composed and indifferent making the phone call, Henchman#1 dropped the huge camera he was holding. Henchman#2 was slightly smarter than Henchman#1, but he too was taken aback by the situation.
When he snapped out of his daze, Henchman#2 said, "Even if the cops come, we are part of Loyal Dogs and whatever we do with the borrowers, Loyal Dogs were already given consent by the borrowers themselves when they signed the forms. Leader, calm down for a moment."
Henchman#Leader laughed when he heard Henchman#2. "That's right! We have our boss. Hahaha! Then beauty, I'll wait for your friends to come. Meanwhile, why don't you come sit with me and get to know each other better?" Even though his chin was just kicked perfectly, the allure of Jesse's attractiveness was hard for him to give up. Since he wasn't feeling worried anymore, he only wanted to chase after his joy now.
Ryou Hisa snickered silently, making himself look inconspicuous as possible. If he was needed, Young Master Zhao would have said a word already. Nevertheless, he wanted to stay and watch.
Jesse remained standing by the entrance, calmly gazing at the two girls, completely ignoring Henchman#Leader for the fourth time.
Henchman#Leader was like an undying worm, his eyes glinted with perverse passion. "Beauty... would you come and talk to me? Surely, you are touched by my determination by now? Look, you can join me with the oncoming entertainment. Guys, keep working on the setup. Make sure the angle of the camera is just above the bed, facing upwards. The lighting should be from south-east, over there."
"Yes, leader. Hehehe." Henchman#1 said, trembling with excitement just from imagining what would happen next after the preparation was over. The cowering girls whimpered, and it only made him more aroused.
Henchman#2 was another kind of evil as well for going along with his peers.
Jesse continued to observe the scene before her with cold indifferent gaze as if she was looking at some insignificant ants. Henchman#Leader couldn't shut his mouth though. As the silence dragged on, so did his mouth.
"Your friends are useless now, Beauty. Aren't you gonna do something else?"
"...Are you gonna save these girls? Lemme tell you, it's useless! The rules require them to pay with anything of value if they cannot pay for their debt. They don't have anything else in that little orphanage aside from their life, or should I say youth."
"Next month, I bet they won't be able to pay their monthly due again. I must say, I'm very grateful to the fool who borrowed from us. Haha.."
"Still not speaking to me Beauty? My determination can be charming..."
"I can even help you extend the allotted time for the monthly payment."
"Do you know how much I earn working as a debt collector? You can live comfortably with me around."
"Babe? Really not gonna speak to me? Look, they are almost finished setting up our entertainment. You can also enjoy this kind of moments if you visit often. Although I'd prefer it if you'd visit for me."
"Did I ever mention you are really beautiful? I've never seen a man as beautiful as you..."
"Just with your eyes, they make my heart feel alive."
"Oh c'mon, Babe. You and I will be perf-- --"

"If you cut your tongue, I'll consider your proposal." Jesse coldly proposed, although it was beneath her to even consider such a man.
When Henchman#Leader heard Jesse's words, he was happy for a moment until he realized what was the catch. "You prefer quiet guys? Sure, I'll change."
For the first time in Jesse's life, she cringed. Goosebumps rose upon her skin and her frosty eyes flashed a restrained wrath. She decided to ignore the man completely, fishing out her phone to observe the tides of her investments. Adding more money on the ones that were giving her good returns, while looking up for more prospective projects or firms.
Then 7 minutes passed by and O'Hara as well as two other officers marched into the building. They inspected every floor until they stumbled where Jesse was.
"Greetings Officer O'Hara and officers. Please arrest these men for physically, sexually and emotionally assaulting these teenagers, causing them to develop trauma that may or may not develop into a mental illness. They've breached Section 264 of Criminal Code, and as for their punishment, I shall leave it all to you."
Powerful and to the point, Jesse convicted all three henchmen as criminals in one move. When they all thought she was done, they all saw her play a clip on her phone.
"Evidence. From last time, I still have your contact Officer O'Hara, please check your phone later as I've sent the video to cement their crimes. Well then, please take care of the victims as you will. Farewell."
And with that, Jesse left as quickly and swiftly as she arrived. Although, before she could cross the door, she turned back to say, "They used to work under a Loan Shark, but they've all been fired a while ago. Hence, they are not anyone's responsibility."
The henchmen were all flabbergasted with what just happened. Their little minds tried to grasp for straws, but only when they heard Ryou Hisa give his piece were they able to realize what was going to happen to them next.
"Good evening, Officer O'Hara. I'm sure you are quite overwhelmed at the moment, but I shall provide you with a brief summary of my account. Would you please prioritize arresting these men first?"
"O-Of course..."
When Henchman#1 thought he could run, Ryou Hisa already blocked his escape by urging the officers. All three men were handcuffed and beaten to detainment. The scarred teenagers were comforted at the Police Station where they were fed and given first aide for their bruises. They were also sent over to the nearest hospital for check-up, courtesy of Ryou Hisa.
Officer O'Hara was beside Lawyer Ryou Hisa, both waiting for the teenagers' diagnosis in the hospital lobby.
"Young Master Zhao's done it again." Sighed Officer O'Hara. Although he appreciates the help he got from Young Master Zhao, he was slightly troubled by how much trouble a person can encounter, and the year was not even over yet. With the most recent case, however, it was of a common assault crime, but if the leader of the henchmen was not infatuated due to physical appearances, Young Master Zhao could have been hurt once again.
Ryou Hisa was surprised. "There was a previous occurrence?" He could not help but be curious, especially after seeing how Young Master Zhao handled the situation in Loyal Dogs.
O'Hara bobbed his head in assent. "Didn't you hear in the news last month? The previous head of the Zhao family was convicted of attempted murder by Young Master Zhao himself. It was a case that could not be refuted as he had very strong evidences, him being alive and a record of his conversation with the kidnapper. Someone that young wouldn't normally be that composed if dumped in a deadly situation..." Officer O'Hara felt worried for the youth who seemed so strong, but most strong people usually have their own dark past, which help mold their mentality further into maturity. "Oh, and did I mention there were 7 kidnappers? And all of them had guns. He was a bloody mess when we arrived at the site. We initially thought it was a prank, so we didn't even prepare enough people."
Ryou Hisa was completely speechless hearing the details from the Officer himself. He did a brief background check on Young Master Zhao, but his information did not include anything from a month ago. "This Young Master Zhao seems formidable." He deduced.
"With the recent happenings surrounding him, can't deny that. But I think, I'd much prefer he live an ordinary life free of danger, to be honest. I have a daughter his age and it makes me happy seeing her spending her time with her friends, trying out fun activities and just being young. But from the look of things with Young Master Zhao, he might have been deprived of such opportunities. For one, being the next in line for presidency of Horizon Line Inc, and the head of the Zhao family. Too many responsibilities on such thin shoulders..."
Listening to Officer O'Hara lament over Young Master Zhao's, Ryou Hisa silently agreed. He could still remember the feeling he felt when the young master finally made his move. He already felt the young lad was charismatic, but now, he was fascinated. Utterly at that.
It would be worthwhile for him to invest his time and effort onto serving the young master.
By the time Officer O'Hara and Lawyer Ryou Hisa finished their talk, the two feminine youths joined them looking a little better from whence they were found in one of Loyal Dogs' room.
"Excuse me, Officer..." Shyly called one of them, the one with more bandages on her skin.
"Yes?"
"Do you know who was that boy who called you....?"
"The person who saved us, Sir. We would like to know his name and where we can find him so we can express our gratitude..." Chided the other.
Officer O'Hara was slightly troubled as he wasn't supposed to reveal any private information, especially someone from a prestigious family.
Ryou Hisa understood Officer O'Hara's dilemma, thus he offered an alternative. "I'll be assisting Young Master Zhao tomorrow, would you two like to come along with me?"
There was no question, the two teenagers immediately agreed. "Yes, please!!"
