***** "Why is Grandpa calling me?" Olivia muttered to herself with a touch of anxiety as soon as she climbed into an Uber on her way to the family estate, hoping her suspicions were unfounded. She hesitated for a brief moment before carefully picking up the call and then placing the phone against her ear. It was only when she heard the clear voice of her grandfather that she heaved out a sigh of relief. “I just landed in Rex City, grandfather,” she said into the cell phone, probably responding to the question she was asked. “I’m on my way to your estate now,” she added after a second before listening, but then she frowned. “You want me to come over with my… my husband?” She couldn’t believe her ear. “Why though?” She inquired, but then she sighed, knowing that her grandfather had said the final words. She accepted the order before the call eventually dropped. Olivia’s brows furrowed tightly as she pondered the reason why her grandfather would want her to bring Ares with her.
*****Robert had woken up since midnight that day due to urgent business matters arising which he had to attend, even almost offending his grandmaster, Ares in the process of completing the issues.After dealing with all the issues and ensuring that Dave, Michael’s father, received his deserved punishment, an arduous process he went through all through alone. It felt like an eternity before he finally had the opportunity to return home, where he planned to catch up on his lost sleep.Unfortunately, however, he had even barely managed to lay his exhausted body on the bed when a loud sound echoed beside him, startling him badly to sit up and instantly causing his head to throb hysterically.Robert's eyes snapped open and darted toward the ringing cell phone, turning crimson red in an instant and transforming into a glare.“Which bastard was that?!” He roared with rage, frustration, and helplessness."I thought I had already turned off this damn cell phone. How did I miss that?" he
*****Olivia was in a state of both lividness and helplessness at this moment.She was furious upon learning the things reported to her by her mother, which Ares had done, but now that he had moved out of the house, she had no idea about what to think.At first, she thought her mother was pulling the sort of prank she pulled in the morning, so, the first thing she did upon returning was to check Ares’s room.“You said your grandfather told you to come with that Vile Spawn?” Ava at the side abruptly asked.“Hmm.” Olivia nodded her head, lost in thought. “I will have to go alone, then,” she added after a moment, letting out a deep sigh."Why don't you go with Olive?" Ava suddenly suggested. Olivia immediately gave her a sharp look, and seeing this, Ava thought her daughter might realize she had driven Ares away. She quickly added, "You two have been childhood sweethearts and since that jerk is out of the picture, why don't you get together and use this opportunity to introduce h
***** "I fucking warned you to mind your own damn business, did I not?" Olive glared aggressively and hatefully at the guy tightly strapped to a wooden chair. "I... I... I didn't do anything, sir," the guy strapped to the chair sobbed, his entire face purple and swollen from being beaten. He was shivering hysterically, terrified beyond words. He was the hotel attendant who had earlier warned Olivia to not trust Olive so much. "Is that so?" Olive responded with a cold grin before suddenly waving his hand. The next moment, a burly man walked over to him and handed him a pair of pliers. “You didn’t do and say anything, right?” Still gazing coldly at the other party, Olive inquired. “I… I… I didn’t do anything,” The attendant’s eyes poured as he stared with horror at Olive, who was walking slowly toward him. His heart was pounding wildly as he stared at Olive, seeing him as though he were the devil. “Plea… please, what… what are you trying to do?” “What am I trying to do?” Olive
*****“What’s going on? Hope it's not that I’m being tailed?” Olivia, having no idea that someone had just been killed in the most gruesome way ever because of her, mumbled to herself as she looked at the back through her rear mirror. "Could it be that I’m only being overly paranoid?" she wondered again, attempting to push her sudden worry from her mind. No matter how much she tried, however, her instinct wouldn’t allow her, but finally, Olivia shook her head. "Who doesn't even have anything better to do than to stalk me?" she sighed, then focused on driving the rented car she had just picked up. Before long, she managed to push her concern aside and focus solely on her destination. However, before she knew it, her previous thought before the worry of someone tailing her disturbed her crept back into her thoughts. "I definitely don't love him, so why do I feel like something's missing?" She suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Shouldn't I be happy that he's gone? Why do
*****‘What’s really going on today?’ The Captain suddenly felt like sobbing, gazing at the arrogant old man in the car behind him.On any other day, he wouldn't have tolerated anyone speaking of Master Robert with disdain and contempt. However, after today's events, when even a youngling such as Ares was addressed as a young master by Robert, the Captain realized he couldn't afford to be arrogant. Thus, he cautiously observed the elderly man standing before him.“Please sir, did Master Robert know you were coming?” He tried as much as he could to be respectful and professional.Old Master Ton, however, merely snorted, his anger slightly diminishing at the other's respectfulness.“With my current status, I don't believe I need to seek permission from anyone to go anywhere, do I?" he asked coldly in response to the question he was asked.The captain was immediately at a loss for words and did not know whether to laugh or cry again at how difficult the other party was being.Afte
*****"You will take me to that so-called Robert's villa," Old Master Ton immediately commanded icily as soon as he saw the captain return, preparing to roll up the window after issuing his order.He had just moved the window an inch up, however, when he saw the Captain glaring coldly at him.“Who do you think you are?” He furiously inquired.“Huh?!” Master Ton became dumbstruck, the same for Michael and Sarah.“Did you just ask me that?” The Old man slowly looked back at The Captain and inquired.“If not you, then who?” The Captain confronted. “Coming here and acting almighty as though you were something special.”“Let me tell you, Master Robert isn’t aware of you coming and the order I just received was to deny you entry, so, if you like yourself, just turn back and return the same way you came.”“This…” Old Master Ton found it difficult to react for a brief moment, refusing to believe that he had just been spoken to in the manner he had just witnessed.“Sir, please respect
*****‘Is this the place?” Old Master Ton suddenly opened his eyes and inquired, his gaze calmly focusing on the grand mansion proudly sitting before him.“Ye… ye… yes sir.” Still terrified to the core, Lex hurriedly responded, nodding his head repeatedly like a chicken pecking on corn.The next second, Old Master Ton chuckled, scaring Ton badly.“You people of this generation really do know how to enjoy life,” he remarked without hiding the sarcasm in him before eventually slowly and unhurriedly exited the car.Both Sarah and Michael quickly followed him out, and then Lex, letting out a sigh of relief also got out. The next moment, as Lex was already weak and terrified beyond measure, his legs gave out, and he slumped to the ground, unable to stand again.“Useless,” Michael spat with disgust, a look of arrogance painting his face before hurriedly taking Sarah’s hand and walking arrogantly behind his great-grandfather toward the villa.The little scene that just occurred was al
