*****Inside a dimly lit, chilly room that was devoid of windows, a figure bound in an X-shaped configuration against a metal pole was writhing constantly in agony with blood continuously flowing from each point where his skin was nailed.It didn't stop there. The figure's body was riddled with ghastly and massive wounds that would have been fatal to ordinary people long ago.This person was Marcus, who has finally experienced firsthand the agony and torture he had always enjoyed administering to others.Even though it hadn't been a full day since his apprehension, it had already felt like an eternity to him, enduring torture with each passing second.If his cultivation had remained intact, this kind of torture would have been nothing but child's play to him. However, aside from losing his cultivation upon apprehension, the injury inflicted on his soul by Ares's formation continued to subject him to hellish torment with every passing second.Marcus had attempted suicide countles
*****”Leader, are you okay?”Inside the dimly lit conference room, the bosses of the demon clan within Rex City were surrounding their leader, who was breathing heavily as though he just left a war right now.They appeared rather nervous as they watched him continue breathing for a while before he eventually calmed down, and then they all wondered what had gone wrong.Just then, a burst of killing intent was released from the leader’s body, instantly filling up and enveloping the conference room, leaving everybody pale.As the killing intent had been very sudden, some of the bosses even coughed out blood, feeling as though they had been punched in their stomachs.“Useless!” The mask-covering leader barked, punching the conference table that was made from hard-tempered glass.Immediately, the tempered glass was shattered into powder and it was only after this that the leader began to do his best to calm down.“You all are so useless,” he said matter-of-factly, glaring at every
*****Neither Ares nor Alle had expected Old Man Lean’s sudden roar of rage.Both standing stuck in their tracks, they stared at the old man whose eyes were now aggressively looking and then they exchanged gazes.Moments later, Alle pushed aside the unsettling realization that the intense gaze was coming from her father to her. She continued to approach him."Father, you were the one who helped me see my mistake towards him, right? Why are you suddenly upset with him?" she asked, genuinely puzzled.Although she mentioned no name, it was obvious she was talking about Ares.Old Man Lean gritted his teeth upon hearing her question, his glare at her instantly intensified even more aggressively. "I'm talking to you!" he growled, sharply startling Alle once again, leaving her trembling and speechless with her mouth widely agape.“Leave my sight, I don’t want to see you again for the rest of my life!” He concluded.Both Alle and Ares stood speechless, unable to react. They remained s
*****After leaving the tightly guarded Army Base, where the hospital was located, Ares did not return home, instead, he called Robert to give him the address of a good real estate company where he could buy a house.Robert was greatly confused at first, wondering why Ares would still want to buy a house after owing the most expensive estate in the state, but since he wasn’t in the position to query Ares, he hurriedly did his search and sent the list of a few places to Ares.“This one seemed to be near,” Ares mumbled to himself as he scrolled through the list sent to him by Robert, then making up his mind, he changed his direction and drove to the new destination.The real estate company selected by Area from the list was a small one, one of the smallest in its category, since it was near and he wasn't planning on buying a large house.Ares felt that the company was ideal for his needs.As soon as he entered the real estate office, he was met by the sight of a few ladies in an o
*****Ares stopped in his tracks upon hearing the sudden nervous voice that just sounded while all the ladies within the open office, who had intentionally ignored Ares turned their gazes in unison toward Sharon.Sharon, a reserved woman who had been working as a sales attendant for the Real Estate company for months but had not made any sales again since her initial success from when she was just employed, due to the oppression she faced was immediately filled her with panic seeing how she had become the focal point of attention.The Sa.r Ares was the source of bullies since he was little was the same way Sharon was the source of bully in this company.Apart from having lesser beauty compared to everybody else, she doesn’t have any designer dress other than her baggies, and she also has zero self-esteem.She would have in fact long been fired, however, she kept getting pardoned over and over again due to her exceptional performance during her first few weeks on the job, having m
*****Sharon, feeling one side of her face hitting up crazily couldn’t help but touch it with a dumbstruck expression, flabbergasted to the core.As for Ares, he couldn’t believe that something like that had happened.Perhaps his mind was so preoccupied that he didn't notice someone approaching him and Sharon, or he may have subconsciously ignored it.All in all, Ares had failed to register the presence of the current aggressive-looking Cloe.“You!!!” Gritting his teeth with rage, he jumped to his feet suddenly and pointed ferociously at Cloe.“What can you do to me, huh, you motherfucking loser?” She glared disdainfully at Ares, finally feeling good that she had put Cloe right at the place she belonged.Meanwhile, the other she-devils in the space were laughing excitedly at this moment, mocking Sharon, who was still seated on the ground she had been knocked.Ares couldn’t believe this sort of oppression. He forced in a deep breath to calm his raging heart, and then he rushed
*****“Sir President, you have to fire that bitch this time, she has already gone insane!”“Please remove the bitch from the office, otherwise, we might need to stop coming to work from tomorrow.”Acting as if they had been unfairly treated, all of Sharon's colleagues, led by Cloe, were currently in the President's office, putting the middle-aged man in a tight position.The middle-aged man, a kind and gentle person who had always treated all his employees like family, looked at the sobbing ladies before him and felt frustrated.“Could you ladies calm down first?” he pleaded.After a few more requests, they finally did as he asked.“Can you now slowly explain what really happened? Weren’t you ladies friends? Why do you suddenly want me to fire her?” President Timi finally asked, clearly confused.Because he spent most of his time either in his office or meeting potential clients outside, he wasn't often aware of what was happening in the shared workspace. Consequently, he freq
*****Although the first house was beautiful, it had a little staircase which was obviously a red flag to it, considering that there was no way Old Man Lean would be able to climb it.As for the second house, that shouldn’t even be mentioned at all, its beauty isn’t up to Ares’s taste and standard.Although it was beautiful on its own and appeared rather elegant, most of all, it could be used by a handicap, Ares did not like it which gave them only the third one left.“Hope there is another house like the one I want if the third house isn’t up to my liking as well?” On the way to the last house, Ares gazed inquiringly at Sharon who contemplated for a moment before shaking her head.“All our other houses apart from the three picked by you are not that user-friendly to people with disabilities.” Sharon, trying her best to not make the disappointed and sad expression in her obvious responded to Ares after a moment of thought.Ares entered a deep deliberation once he heard Sharon’s w
