When Godfrey clearly saw who the man was, his legs finally gave way. Even the gun he was holding in his hands fell down on the floor.
"Richard Howell... so this woman was telling the truth." Godfrey was in a state of panic. Although he pretended to believe that woman when she said that she was Richard's woman, but in realy sense, he did not believe her at all.
How could Richard Howell date a lowly actress. Before they accepted any mission, they had to do a thorough investigation on the person they were dealing.
They only knew that Amanda was a little famous in the entertainment industry, although she had a backer, the person who posted the mission refused to divulge any information, so they could only rely on the little information they gathered.
Godfrey did not have enough power in the underground like most people thought and only relied on the fact that his boss did not show himself in the public, to mess around. But he could not use the resources of the underworld like he wished.
So, with his little resources, he was not able to gather more information about Amanda. But he was also disdainful that she was only a little actress, who he needed not to pay attention to.
Having seen Richard come to personally rescue her, Godfrey knew that he had screwed up big time.
His boss had warned him several times that he can mess around as much as he want, but there are some people he dared not to touch. Richard happened to be one of those people.
"Mr Richard, sorry I didn't know that Amanda was your woman, even if I was given a thousand guts, I will never dare touch her." Godfrey did not wait for Richard to say anything. He kneeled down and started to kowtow without a care in the world.
His subordinates were astounded seeing their boss kneeling while banging his head on the ground.
What exactly was going on? They looked their boss dumbfounded. Seeing that they did not yet understand the seriousness on the matter, Godfrey stood up, kicked them to make them kneel before going back on his knees.
Richard only looked at them coldly without any expression on his face. He was hugging Amanda lightly, afraid that he will hurt her more than she already is if he exerted any more force.
Looking at her disheveled look, he did not want to think about the torture she had gone through. Her face was swollen, her body was covered in stains of blood, a huge piece of her hair was even missing.
Her breathing was unstable. Richard's heart was hurting so much. He felt as if someone was squeezing every blood vessel in his heart with a forceps.
He walked over to the sofa and laid her down gently. As he was leaving, Amanda subconsciously clutched at the corner of his shirt. She was frowning in discomfort.
"Don't worry, I'm right here. Nothing will happen to you... I will take you away in a while." After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. The light kiss immediately cooled Amanda down.
He then walked to the people who were kneeling on the ground.
