*****The instant this question was asked, everybody subconsciously raised their heads and glanced in unison at the person who was being questioned.As for the person being questioned, Sarah.The expression on her face which was of disappointment and self-reproach doesn’t change at all at the face of the question thrown at her.Rather, she also gazed at everybody for a while and then nodded her head.“None of you could even imagine the height he has reached now. He could have you all and your families included destroyed with just a single phone call from him.”After speaking this as if it was nothing but a fact, Sarah sighed heavily and also picked up her bag, then giving everybody a final glance, she also walked away, her heart and mind very heavy while her eyes began to wipe out tears.Once Sarah was gone, everybody began to exchange blank gazes, unable to make any sense of what had just happened tonight.‘The Taritarus family is scared of the pauper Alex?’They were filled
*****“To handle two women at a time, you must be man enough and be able to satisfy the two of them in a way that they wouldn’t have the time to be jealous of each other…”The following morning which is Sunday, Alex who just woke up and just returned from where he went to wash up received a video call from his godfather.Even he couldn’t pinpoint when the subject changed to how he needed to handle his women.He could only listen helplessly as his godfather continued to lecture him as though he had experienced two women at once before.After listening for a long time, Alex finally couldn’t control his curiosity anymore.“Godfather?”“Ehn?!”The handsome man who was still busily speaking as if from experience was startled by this sudden call of his godson, so he placed his attention on the camera.“Have you had any dealings with two women at once before or now?”“Hun? What do you mean?”Alex realized that his Godfather didn’t understand his question, so he could only think of
*****Meanwhile, at the Taritarus family estate.Although the eldest third-generation son has been grounded, and his phone has been seized, he still manages to do everything in his capability to warn all his friends who had planned against Alex, to hurt him for snatching Jewel from them.The poor young master.Although he was actually an arrogant playboy who doesn’t give a shit about anybody, he is actually loyal to the core to his friend and would do everything he could to protect his friends.At first, his friends thought something was wrong with him when he told them that Alex wasn’t someone they dared to touch, that he was someone several times way out of their leagues.But after hearing all the riddles in which he had spoken, all the friends Immediately realized that the young guy had gotten some intel, and with this, they Immediately stopped all the plans they already had to stalk Alex and deal with him.Then gradually, the news of the Potters City pulling back began to sp
*****“We just confirmed with our eyes that the target is out of his protection zone, anything else you have for us?”In a hidden place, someone who couldn’t be seen unless all attention was placed upon by a cultivator could be heard speaking in a hushed manner to the phone, then after a while, he went silent for a few seconds before resuming again, and eventually, he dropped the call.“What did they say?”Another voice spoke, similarly in a hushed manner like the first one.“Those brats actually commanded me to continue following the target and should be giving them updates at every moment.”“Fuck it!”A lady’s irritated voice spat with deep anger.“I hate those arrogant pricks. They should just let me handle them, I will suck the fuck out of their life and make them understand that their arrogance means nothing to me.”Everybody said their minds, but unfortunately for them, that was the only thing they could do at the end of the day, nothing more.So after a while of compla
*****Late in the night and still on the highway.Had the place been crowded right now or if any human had been passing by, they would have been shocked to their core and scared to death for the lives in what they were presently witnessing. They would have also lost all hopes of survival for the lives within.But unfortunately, nobody was there to witness the scene right now.Deep in the night, a car that looked to have lost control of breaks and whose wheels seemed to have been broken was seen screeching and swirling crazily back and forth in the middle of the road with its speed not seeming to have reduced at all.Also, within this same car, it was all chaotic, with screams filled with fear reverberating so loudly.This continued for a while when suddenly, just as the car was about to run down a cliff which would definitely lead to its explosion, it came to an abrupt stop.This stop was so sudden that the scream within the car continued ringing for a long time, the people insi
******"Should I go check on him?"Back within the car, Jewel who was still wrapped together with Dami suddenly asked, her face looking anxious as she peered through all the windshields, into the night."Sis… sister Jewel, didn't you say we should wait for him, let's do as you say then…"Dami, who also appeared uneasy as she gazed through the night, spoke with her voice trembling slightly."But he has been gone for more than five minutes now, and my instincts are telling me that something is amiss."Still nervously, Jewel said, and Dami quickly nodded her head, as if she was feeling the same way as Jewel."Should I go check on him?" Dami asked."No, let me go instead."Hearing Jewel and realizing that her voice seemed to allow no disagreement, Dami hesitated for a brief moment before nodding her head again. “Okay.""I will be back soon," Jewel said before gently and carefully exiting the car while scanning her surroundings as if she were on the lookout for something."Please be carefu
*****For some reason, the next day was somehow calm in school, and nobody tried to look for trouble with Alex whatsoever.Well… it wasn’t that Alex noticed.No, he didn’t even notice anything at all since his mind was only filled with Jewel.He continued recalling the never-ending nightmares he had since he slept the previous night till this morning.During his sleep the previous night, he was even woken up countless times because of these scary nightmares, and the night terrors had one thing in common, it was related to what they both experienced going home the night before.Alex dreamt that the Skeleton caught Jewel and did to her what it did to the five youths, he dreamt that it abducted Jewel and disappeared with her, that Jewel became hopeless, and many more.Even recalling the nightmare right now makes Alex break out in a sweat.Every time Alex thought of what would have happened, he kept thanking his stars that he had given Jewel the protective necklace and Jade hairpin
*****“Do you not say that the bastard was an ordinary nobody?”Presently in the grand elder’s inner cave, the grand elder who currently appears casual while chewing on some seed read out loud.“Me, say he was an ordinary nobody? When?”He questioned himself casually, appearing not to have taken the words seriously in the least.With that, he released his mind energy, coupled with his thoughts, and instantly, the questions he just muttered out loud to himself appeared on the scroll before him.Just as these words appeared, a single word that was filled to the brim with killing intent appeared below it, scaring the grand elder to his core and making him take some steps back with fear.“This bastard!!!”He gritted his teeth furiously, his breathing quickening as he dared not gaze at the single word that almost took his life.Looking at the word, it wasn’t anything special, it was only; “You!!”But although it was only a single word, a written word at that, the strong killing in
