Benjamin clearly didn't expect Delbert's martial prowess to be so formidable.

Before he could react further, Delbert handed the bag he was carrying to Harriet.

With a cold demeanor, Delbert slowly approached Benjamin.

The murderous aura emanating from him made Benjamin's cronies wish they could abandon him and run away.

After that kick, Benjamin realized the man before him was no ordinary person.

Noticing the murderous intent radiating from Delbert made him panic.

He propped himself up on his hands and kept scooting backward on the floor.

"What do you want to do? Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, my boss is a big shot in the underworld of Imperium. If you mess with me, neither you nor your girlfriend can survive!" Seeing that things were going south, Benjamin resorted to flaunting his boss's status in an attempt to intimidate Delbert into leaving.

But it was all in vain.

Delbert showed no fear and kept advancing without any pause in his step.

Step by step, Delbert walked towards Benjamin lying on the ground, looking down at him from above with eyes full of icy resolve, like the King of Terrors descending.

"I'm asking you, who sent you? And where did you get the news that we found an exceptional jewel? You'd better not lie, or face the consequences!"

Benjamin appeared tough on the surface, but he actually was scared.

Although he had promised Lily not to expose her identity, in such a situation, he didn't know what inhumane treatment he might face if he didn't reveal her identity.

After making a decision, Benjamin no longer hesitated and promptly confessed, "I learned about that from a woman named Lily! As for my boss, I only know that his surname is Vinson.

"He operates in the underworld of Imperium. Although he may not be as prominent as those elder figures, he's still a significant figure. I've answered all your questions. Now, can you let me go?" After Benjamin finished speaking, he nervously looked at Delbert.

Delbert showed a pensive expression and exchanged a glance with Harriet.

Benjamin's anxiety multiplied several times as he feared that Delbert might attack him directly, which he couldn't withstand.

While Delbert was lost in thought, Benjamin boldly signaled to his men to seize the opportunity and subdue Delbert.

After all, they outnumbered him.

He still didn't believe it.

Could their group not handle the two people in front of them?

As long as they caught the man, the woman would be like a lamb to the slaughter, obediently handing over the exceptional jewel!

Seeing that several of his men had caught on to his thoughts, Benjamin immediately made a decision and stood up from the ground, throwing a punch at Delbert's face.

Although Delbert was pondering who Mr. Vinson was in Benjamin's words, he was still on guard against Benjamin.

When he saw Benjamin make a move, the fist was about to strike his face.

Prepared in advance, Delbert immediately stepped back, easily avoiding Benjamin's punch!
