Noah now knew that the man named Mason had ill intentions towards Aria and she being his woman, how could he just stay still and do nothing? When Ian had told him about Aria slapping the scumbag, Noah had been delighted. His woman was the best and she knew how to handle people like these even if he was not around her. However, he still could not sit back and watch her fighting those hyenas all alone. He had to do something and he knew perfectly well how to get back at the man who dared to touch his darling girl.

His blood had boiled when Ian had told him how the man had touched her lips and all he wanted to do was to chops off those filthy hands that had even graced her beautiful lips. Her lips belonged only to him after her and only he was allowed to touch them and kiss them. How dare a lowly filth even think about her!!

Though he wanted to go over and chop off his limbs one by one, he did not want to rush through the punishment. It would not be that entertaining and a man like Noah preferred hunting his prey slowly but precisely. He would give them a chance to think that they had an opportunity to escape only to end up right in his trap. Noah would make sure that the man learned a lesson but not right now. He would wait until the man has been issued a warning, or even better a pink slip by Ian. He would then strike at him adding another load on his misery.

He had made a trip to the training arenas where Tim was being housed. He wanted to get some details from him about Jared and his next motives. However, before that, Noah had asked Joshua to find out anything about the people with the surname Grimes, but the man had ended up nothing. He could not find anything about them, not even a small detail or a word. It was as though there was no family at all with that surname who was associated with hospitals or the medical field.

This only meant one thing. The people had come with an alias and their actual name was something else. He now wanted to know the truth and had come to meet Tim, expecting him to know something at least. The man was inside a fighting arena and was releasing his stress and frustration on a punching bag. From the way the bag moved with every strike, it was clear that the man knew how to fight. He had undergone hellish training and he knew exactly what to do. The man was not a novice to these kinds of things and just a matter of a few days, since the time he had arrived, he had earned everybody's respect.

All the men stared at him with admiration and this was something new to the man who had been trained under Jared where nobody appreciated anybody for their achievements. They were just treated as slaves whose work was to just follow Jared's orders. Only after seeing Noah's training center, he realized how different the two people were. While one wanted the men to follow him as slaves for life, the other wanted the men to help him in life.

The life here was way different than he had imagined and or even seen. It was a complete contrast to what he had experienced before. Everybody here respected him even though they knew he had been a criminal once. They treated him as a brother and for the first time, Tim understood the meaning of brotherhood. He was relieved that he had made the correct decision at the correct time, or else his life would have been ruined.

Also, there were many females trainees too with him and men respected the ladies just like gentlemen. They never spoke ill about them even behind their backs and every person would help each other out. If this was the same case at Jared's den, then the females would have been harassed until they could not take it anymore. He had heard the lewd remarks some men had passed at Maggie when she had first joined Jared's gang.

Noah came to him directly instead of calling him to speak in private. Everybody here was trustworthy and had sworn their lives to protect the man who had given them new lives. He was their life savior and they would not do anything that would harm him. This was also against their morale to betray the person who saved them.

"What do you want to speak about?" Tim asked curiously, his eyes blinking at Noah. They were right outside the arena and were sitting on the resting bench. Although Noah did not care about other people's presence, the men had exited the room themselves giving them some privacy to have their talk without being disturbed.

However, before Noah could speak to him, his phone rang. "What is it, Jo?"

"I have tried everything I can, but I highly doubt there is anybody with that surname who seems to be suspicious. Are you sure you have got the name right?"

"Yes, it was the surname Grimes. I am a hundred percent sure." As soon as Noah took the surname, Tim's expression changed and his eyes widened suddenly. He was shocked to the core as though he was struck by lightning. But the next second, the man composed himself. However, Noah had seen his swift change of expressions and he cut the call immediately.

"Do you know anybody who has the surname Grimes?" Tim was perplexed now not because Noah had asked him the question, but because Noah had asked about a name that had created havoc in the city. He knew everything about the surname. However, he could not tell why he was asking about it.

Seeing his reaction, Noah was sure that he had got his answer. The man had expressed his emotions clearly on his face and now if he lied about it, then it would only make Noah suspicious of him. To his surprise, Tim came clean before him.

"Yes, I know many people with that surname. Before I answer any of your questions, could you answer just one question for me?"

Noah nodded at him and waited for him to shoot. "How did you find out about the surname?"

Noah wanted to test the man of his loyalty. He wanted to see if Tim had actually become honest and good or if he was here with a motive. If all his words were a facade and he was here with other intentions. "I think you know Ivy, right?"

"Yes. How does this relate to her?"

"She is researching on this case now and she was the one who told me. Ain't it surprising to find that all the hospitals that were involved in the scam had someone with the surname Grimes at the top level? How intriguing!!"

"Wait a minute. Do you know Ivy?"

"I do know Ivy."

"How?" Tim asked a little confused by Noah's words.

"This is the third question you are asking me, but I will still answer it. She is my best friend's girlfriend and also my girlfriend's sister."

"What?" Tim was flabbergasted to find out this crazy information. It was true that he knew about Ivy's twin sister, he had done a background check on her. But he never knew that she was related to Noah. Wow, this was just amazing. He did not know how things had turned out this way. This was more conflicting and confusing than a never-ending maze. He now realized that the man before him had control even before the game had started. He had only shown his presence now, making the opponent to doubt his strength and intelligence.

Noah only gave a small smile seeing the man's dumbfounded face. He had only found out half the truth. What would happen to him if he were to find out about Oliver? Would he die of a heart attack? There was a possibility.

"I have no words to say now," Tim whispered after a long time. His mouth had run dry, he chugged down a bottle of water at one go.

"Then, you can answer my questions. I assume you have words for them."

"Go ahead. I'll tell you everything I know."

"Who are these people?"

"There is no one with that surname in reality. It was a code Jared had used when planting his men in those hospitals. He wanted his men to take control over the management slowly. So, he had created a family with that surname and had illustrated an act where these people were rich and were medically well acclaimed."

"So, what you are telling me is that Jared is the mastermind behind this organ trafficking issue?" Noah queried, his eyebrows rising slightly but subtly. This information was shocking and what a discovery it was. But he was not that surprised by that. Given that how much of a cruel and wicked person Jared was, it was not unexpected.

"Yes. He is the one behind this matter and many other issues."

"What happened to those people who took up the surname? Where are they?"

"They are dead now. Jared killed them the day the scandal broke out. He did not want anybody to track them to him. So, he did not leave even a single person."

"You mentioned that he was the one behind a lot of destructive plans. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Do you know about the deadly virus issue?"

"Yes," Noah knew about it and how could he not? It was the news covered by his sister-in-law and in some way, she was the savior who saved the country and its people.

"He was the one who planned it."
