If you can provide sketches of them, I can arrange for someone to locate them.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Although Duncan was no longer involved in the underworld, his reputation still lingered. If he required assistance from those individuals, they would go to great lengths to support him, just as they had in the past.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThey were wearing black masks and sunglasses, so I couldn\u2019t see their faces. All I can say is that they were tall and strong. They resemble bodyguards more than typical thugs,\u201d Liberty replied.<\/div>\n<div>Having seen Zachary\u2019s numerous bodyguards, Liberty was accustomed to their imposing stature, which made her feel that the assailants resembled bodyguards more than ordinary criminals.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan\u2019s expression darkened, and without commenting on Liberty\u2019s description, he asked for more details. Before long, it was time to eat.<\/div>\n<div>At that moment, his mother called again.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan glanced at the caller ID but chose not to answer, calmly continuing his meal with the others.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDuncan, who\u2019s calling you? You\u2019re not picking up,\u201d Grandma May asked.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan continued to fill his plate with food, complimenting Serenity\u2019s cooking as he ate. \u201cZachary is fortunate to enjoy such delicious meals,\u201d he remarked with envy.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou\u2019re feeling jealous, aren\u2019t you? Find a wife who cooks well too, and you\u2019ll be equally blessed with good food,\u201d Grandma May teased. \u201cYou should answer the phone; the caller has tried several times. Even if you don\u2019t want to respond, that ringtone is too loud and jarring for me. I\u2019m too old for such noise.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cGrandma May, I\u2019ll take the call after I finish eating,\u201d he replied.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan remained composed and continued his meal, occasionally refilling his plate.<\/div>\n<p>Using the serving utensils, Duncan filled Sonny\u2019s plate and said, \u201cSonny, you seemed frightened today. Eat more to help you recover from the shock.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t frightened,\u201d Sonny responded seriously.<br \/>\n\u201cOf course not. You\u2019re a little man, Sonny. You\u2019re brave and unafraid of anything.\u201d<br \/>\nDuncan\u2019s praise made Sonny lift his head and puff out his chest. His uncle had also called him a little man.<br \/>\n\u201cLiberty, I think you should send Sonny to learn some form of self-defense.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cZachary suggested that too. He said he\u2019d hire a trainer for Sonny to teach him some punches and kicks.\u201d<br \/>\nLiberty was the one who responded.<br \/>\nDuncan hummed in acknowledgment.<br \/>\nZachary had beaten him to it.<br \/>\nAfter all, Zachary was Sonny\u2019s uncle.<br \/>\nAfter the meal, when Duncan\u2019s phone rang again, he answered.<br \/>\n\u201cMom.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMr. Lewis, you\u2019re not avoiding my calls on purpose, are you? I\u2019ve called a dozen times, and you only answer now!\u201d<br \/>\nMrs. Lewis was furious.<br \/>\nInstead of calling her son by his name, she simply referred to him by his last name.<br \/>\n\u201cMom, I put my phone on silent during the meeting this afternoon and forgot to unmute it, so I didn\u2019t hear it ring. I just took my phone out and saw your calls, which confused me since I didn\u2019t hear it ring for incoming calls.\u201d<br \/>\nEveryone present turned to look at Duncan.<br \/>\nWho would have guessed he was such a skilled liar?<br \/>\nHe didn\u2019t blush or stutter at all.<br \/>\nIt was as if he truly believed what he was saying.<br \/>\nSince Mrs. Lewis wasn\u2019t there, she could only trust her son\u2019s word.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1182 Duncan sat alone on the sofa, inquiring about the recent events. \u201cIt seems their objective was to abduct [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13159"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13259,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13159\/revisions\/13259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
