His plan was simple.He would live as the heir to the Blacks while hiding his identity as Derek Aer. The Argon family really didn't have any standing in the city. They were just like every other family that wasn't affected by the catastrophic effect of Orion city collapsing.They had money, but not too much of it.Con chuckled as he thought of that. He was really done being kind to people and trying to see who or what could change whatever wicked tendencies they had within them.He would slap, maim and kill if he needed to. Regardless of gender or standing. He was back, and he wouldn't live the pitiful life he had led twice now.Xavier stood straighter and tried his best to keep the look on his face a neutral one. He was used to wearing a blank expression now so he didn't really have to put too much work into it, but the surprising thing was that he had to. He did have to put some work into it. His head was hurting from using the small bionics infused into his metal leg and his he

"Was Joseph a servant in the household before?"Hearing the voice of the man that had ripped out his ear caused Raymond to feel fear coursing through his veins. but he nodded all the same. He couldn't speak without crying and if he did speak, he didn't know if he would be at risk of losing his other ear.He was already used to referring to this man as a waste of time and space. He was forced to keep on staying with him and that had caused a bit of a problem between him and his wife. He didn't have time to stay with her and enjoy the other part of their marriage!He just recently got married to her even though they already had a child together. The payment he got from this job was what he used to settle his wife's expensive dowry and so far he had done good with that, but that was by the way.His main point was that he had always resented the fake heir for that reason, and he was used to talking trash to the other man. How was he to suddenly change and keep up with the change in his ma

Aubrey walked through the hallways of Xavier's home and tried to keep the look on her face neutral. She could already tell that she wasn't going to be able to do it. It was too hard to keep a straight face in this kind of situation.She had to talk to Xavier.Ever since he had come back from seeing Con out he had locked himself in his room with his daughter's laptop. It was sort of expected that he would do something like that.Jane didn't seem too bothered by it because that was how Xavier behaved sometimes, locking himself out from people and from the world in its entirety. She would have let him do that if she could, but now that this matter concerned Con, she couldn'tTo begin with, she was very sure that Xavier had known Con was in the Black mansion all these years. He had spoken of Con having a wife and a child. He had spoken of Con having a life and that infuriated her for some reason.She had spent the past ten years of her life waiting for him!She had spent ten years of her

The locals of Destiny's island had a legend they passed on from generation to generation.A legend about gods who walked the face of the earth, defending it from a great evil and maintaining the fabric that was time and space.In those days, no one was safe. Demons popped out of portals and snatched random women from the side of the road.Fathers went off hunting and came back either dead or turned into beasts.Some would have called the powers behind this magic, and in a way it was.But at the same time it was not.Con snapped out of the trance he had fallen into and he stepped back from the wall. He could feel the way his body was vibrating and he could tell that something wasn't normal here. The average human couldn't hear a wall speaking, but that was exactly what he had done. He had heard a wall speaking and he couldn't believe it.What was that story he had just seen all about?It felt so real and life-like.Con felt the budding need to touch the wall again but before he could

The sun broke through the clouds the next day in Glover city and Con smiled to himself as he stood up from the bed.It was a new day and a new dawn and he was ready to wreak some random havoc. It all depended on how well the opportunity presented itself though so he would do well to make sure he looked out for it.Last night's discussion with John had ended on a very pleasant note and he was very proud of how he had handled it. He was now the heir to the Black family and he would be taking over the family affairs today.To any random person, the smile on Con's face would have looked delightful. Some would have considered it heartwarming even. It was as bright as the sun shining in the sky and as warm as a hot bath, if anyone looked closely enough, they would even be able to notice a slight sparkle in his eyes, like his life was finally making some sense and he was elated to see what the world held for him next.Of course there was someone else in the room. Someone who had his hands
