2 Weeks Later ....

James is still on his undercover mission to recover Owen's condition. But, he had yet to find a way to get Owen out of the basement.

Today is the last chance for James to help Owen as Owen's condition improves and his services are no longer needed for Owen's next treatment.

"Did Jared know I was alive?" owen whispered to James.

"No, your family no one knows where you are, I didn't tell him just in case, I was afraid of taking the wrong action" James replied in a whisper as he opened Owen's bandage. The bandage will no longer be put on because the wound is completely dry.

".... Oxela has given birth to a baby girl."

"Thank God, are they healthy?"

James nodded.

"Ah, there is a man who routinely injects drugs for me three times a week. I thought it was a cure to mess up my memory, but--"

"But so far you're feeling okay?" cut James with a faint smile.

Owen nodded.

"You will feel the effects soon" James said.

"Is there no way to make the drug unreact? I don't want to lose my memory, after all, every single drug that's been inside my body, I feel so weak."

James shakes. "My main mission is currently healing your wounds, Owen! One more thing, get you out of here. About the medicine, I don't have an antidote" he said, sighing heavily.

Brak!!!

The basement door was violently smashed. Richard came with his men, but Mark was nowhere to be seen. And this time, Richard seemed to be holding a baby boy who was none other than Jeff.

The baby whined in Richard's arms, causing Owen to stand up from his position to reach for the prince.

"Jeff.." Owen saw his handsome baby. The baby looked at him as if he had an inner attachment to him. Jeff's gaze shone softly, as well as he looked at the prince with a clear look of longing.

"I'm giving you a chance to see your baby one last time!" richard's hiss made Owen stumble.

"Breng sek! Loser! My son has no fault! Let him live!" said Owen growled.

"Can! But, beg me! Kowtow to my feet, do you want to?" richard said with a discordant laugh accompanied by Jeff's cry that suddenly sounded loud.

Owen clenched his hand.

"If you do, I'll make sure your son's life doesn't end today" he added.

Richard's request completely dropped Owen's pride as a man. But that's not what he should consider anymore. Except Jeff's life was the main one. Inevitably, he had to dispel all his pride and do what Richard wanted even if it made him like a worthless slave at all.

"All right." Inching slowly, Owen was about to stand up and approach Richard.

Richard laughed, "Come from your position to my feet!" his word made Owen's jaw harden.

Taking a deep breath, Owen crawled towards Richard's whereabouts. He chose to comply without issuing a protest, making the ripples on Richard's lips look more curved.

However, once in front of the man, he pulled Richard's leg and caused the man to fall but still hold Jeff in his arms. Richard was not expecting the sudden resistance Owen had put up.

"Sh*ttt!!!" maki Richard on Owen's bravery.

Several bodyguards pointed a gun at Owen simultaneously without command.

Richard growled furiously, Jeff who was still in his hand was immediately lifted up high as if preparing to throw the baby.

Owen took a heavy sip of saliva but he could still shake off a faint smile, mocking Richard.

"Can't you fight me with your bare hands? No need to make an innocent baby his bait? Or are you too scared? Until you bring a group of people to attack me?" owen sarcasm.

Richard screeches. He handed Jeff over to one of the bodyguards next to him, then looked at Owen with guts. He also signaled that all gunpoint thrust toward Owen be stopped immediately, for he would fight Owen alone.

"So you're asking me to a duel?" Richard laughed discordantly, understanding the invitation Owen offered. He stretched his neck muscles for a moment then started clenching his fists.

Of course Richard will serve Owen's challenge, because he does not want to be considered a coward by his opponent. He would happily clash with Owen even happily wanting to finish Owen off with his own hands.

As for Owen, he did have his own plan with the ignition of Richard's anger that he deliberately made.

Owen took a quick glance at the person holding Jeff, then he nodded faintly at the person before he finally started a resistance action on Richard who changed his attention and only focused on Owen alone.
