"No... No," Jordan's question snaps Kevin out of his daze. "My name is Kevin Snow. I just recently came back to East Veridora. I've been overseas. As for my relationship with Margaret...," he pauses and scratches his hair, seemingly hesitant to speak.Jordan narrows his brows. He can already tell Kevin's relationship with Margaret through his reluctance to disclose it.His face crinkles in disgust as he says coolly, "It has only been a few days since Vincy died and you are already disrespecting him by sleeping with his wife? You couldn't even let his mourning period end?""I've known Margaret before her husband. Our relationship is kinda complicated," Kevin says in defense, shrugging. "Besides, I wasn't the one who chose to disrespect Vincy, Margaret did. The woman would do anything to have you killed even if it means sleeping with another. As long as the person is willing to take up the course. I couldn't let such an opportunity slide.""Mmm," Jordan hums and removes his foot from his
In the cold evening, on the foot of one of the mountains in Vincy Martial Arts school...The Grim Reaper sits on the ground in a lotus position, his eyes closed and his hands clasped together. His appearance is covered in a white mist and his aura keeps increasing every second, almost reaching to its zenith.He appears to be about to make a breakthrough in his cultivation rank and move on to a new rank. But suddenly, his body jerks as if electrified, and his eyes fly open. Instantly, the white mist disappears, revealing his face, which appears to have a trace of fear."Why is he suddenly looking for Margaret?" he whispers, tilting his head."Hmm," without bothering to figure out an answer to that question of his, he hurriedly stands and disappears.The next second, he appears in front of Jordan and without caring about the students groaning on the ground and those standing around and gazing at Jordan wearily, he immediately drops to his knees. "My Lord," he bows face flat to the gro
Downtown, East Veridora...In a softly lit luxurious room, Margaret clad in a revealing nightgown, sits on a king-sized bed wearing a troubled expression. There is a glass of juice in front of her but she seems not to be in the mood for drinks and her gaze is tightly locked on the door.It's been hours since Kevin left to kill Jordan as agreed and bring back his head to her but he hasn't returned. She has tried calling his line but it hasn't been going through, making her so worried.Her mind is running far and wide, considering all the possibilities that could bring about that. Could it be that something has happened to Kevin too?It's no secret anymore that Jordan is so powerful as even The Grim Reaper for some reason spared him even after what he did. She is left wondering if she had made a mistake by putting her trust in Kevin. After all, she has never seen him fight before so she can't tell how strong he is.If Jordan already defeated him, that means she had allowed him fuck her
Vincy Martial Arts school...The Grim Reaper has returned to the foot of the mountain and is sitting in a lotus position. He appears to be trying to continue his cultivation as he was close to having a breakthrough earlier, but his mind is too chaotic. He can't seem to concentrate.He lets out a depressing sigh and opens his eyes, retracting his aura which had already built up. Simultaneously, he stands up with his hands to his back and glances around, taking in his surrounding."My Lord," a voice suddenly sounds and the next second, a young lad materializes behind him. He gets on one knee and bows."Get up and speak," without bothering to turn, The Grim Reaper orders."Yes, My Lord," the young lad obliges and rises to his feet. "I've investigated and found out what prompted Mr. Callahan's sudden appearance to the school.""Hmm," The Grim Reaper hums. "Do tell.""I fou...," For several minutes, the young lad takes his time to disclose to The Grim Reaper all he found, not leaving any d
"Hmm." The Grim Reaper's eyes darken. After fucking another man and defiling his order but failing, Margaret had the guts to come back to this school. Does she really not take he, The Grim Reaper seriously?He taps his foot on the ground and instantly vanishes. The next second, he materializes in front of Margaret who was just about to open her door and walk in."Father," Margaret is taken aback by the The Grim Reaper's sudden appearance but she quickly composes herself and greets him with a bow."Hmm," The Grim Reaper hums, rather amused by Margaret's confidence to still refer to him as father after what she did. Nevertheless, he doesn't query her, instead he asks, "Where have you been?"Margaret's expression turns sullen. She sighs heavily and shakes her head. "Nowhere really. I've just been here and there. Vincy's death took a huge toll on me. I could barely sleep. I had to leave to get away from the hunting memories. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before leaving.""I must say you lie
Margaret shudders and takes two steps backward, her eyes and expression filled with fear. "I don't know what you found out, fa... I mean Grim Reaper, but I did what I did because of your great-grandson. I went against your order to seek revenge for him because I couldn't stand seeing his murderer walking the face of the earth unscathed while he is six feet below. Since you couldn't do anything and wouldn't let any of us take any necessary actions, I had to leave and take matters into my hands.""Does that also mean sleeping with another man while you are mourning my great-grandson?" The Grim Reaper roars, glaring disgustfully at her.Margaret's legs give way and she drops to the floor on her knees. "Grim Reaper, please," she whispers, breaking into a cold sweat. "I did everything for your great-grandson!""Hahaha," The Grim Reaper laughs, quite amused. "You slept with another man for my great-grandson, how does that sound to your ears?"Margaret lowers her head without saying anything.
Margaret instantly loses her balance as if struck by lightning and her face pales. "He... He came here looking for me?" She stutters, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Wait," she blurts as if recalling something. "Was he the one who broke down the school gate?"The Grim Reaper doesn't bother to respond to that question, instead saying, "It's quite surprising that he didn't come after you after leaving here." He tilts his head, as if in thought and after a while, looks back at her as he says, "That can only mean that he has decided to give you a chance to change your ways and stop sending assassins after him. You are lucky. If he wanted you dead, you would have been dead and even I wouldn't have had anything to do about it.""But why is it so, father? Why can't you do anything to him? He is just a pauper, how can you be so afraid of him?"The Grim Reaper glares at her for addressing him as father before shaking his head as he says, "What do you know? If he was really a pauper, would I be
It's a bright sunny morning...An aged man adorned in black pants, a white shirt, and a black shade, emerges from Skygate International Airport. He strides purposefully towards a car seemingly waiting for him, and without a word, opens the backdoor and enters."Welcome, sir. Where to please?""Eve's Allure Emporium." The driver nods and steps on the gas pedal, zooming away.A short while later, a mysterious figure, dressed in black pants, a black shirt, and sporting a hat and shades, exits the airport, his phone glued to his ear."My Lord," he breathes, "I've just arrived at Opulence Heights with Mr. Smith. He has left for Eve's Allure Emporium."He nods to whatever the person on the other end said, drops back his phone into his pocket and scans his surroundings. "Hey," he waves at a driver standing in front of his taxi and probably looking for passengers.The taxi driver immediately enters his taxi and drives over to him. "Where to, kind sir?" He pops out his head and asks.Without a
