***** "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
***** Inside a dimly lit, abandoned hall, Olivia was presently strapped to a chair with her mouth taped shut to silence her incessant screams. She was already terrified and overwhelmed with questions about who had kidnapped her. No matter how hard she looked, however, she found no answers. Her captors remained silent, only giving her dirty looks, leaving her alone with her fears. As time passed, Olivia grew increasingly frightened, and the reality of her situation became more and more apparent to her. Just when she felt she couldn't bear it any longer, and her heart was about to burst from her chest, however, the sound of heels striking the floor echoed. Olivia instantly jerked her head, desperately wanting to see the approaching person. However, since the other figure was in the dark, it took her a moment to discern their face. The next second, Olivia’s eyes widened significantly with shock and disbelief. “Are you that shocked to see me?” Laura inquired playfully, looking at O
***** Michael suddenly exclaimed twice, very slowly and in a lower tone, "Oh... my... God! Oh... my... God!" He no longer cared about the ringing in his head or the fact that his mouth was filled with blood and two or three of his teeth. He continued gaping at his grandfather as though he had just seen a real-life ghost. Neither Michael nor anyone else had ever anticipated this sudden turn of events and although Michael had been surprised by the earlier developments, he was even more shocked and flabbergasted by this one. He couldn't believe that his last and remaining line of defense, his feared and respected great-grandfather, whom he had always known to be the strongest entity in his family, would actually kneel to the person he so desperately wanted dead. Michael couldn’t react or do anything again other than continue gapping in horror. Michael wasn't the only one in this situation; Sarah was too, and her present situation was even worse than Michael's, despite not having s
*****After stating his mind, old man Ton glanced at the still-dumbfounded security guards and ordered. “I want him to remain on his knees here till the young master orders otherwise.” "Yes... yes, sir," the security leader nodded his head nervously, watching Old Man Ton walk towards Master Robert's car. Old Man Ton immediately sat in the front seat and Master Robert quickly closed the door after Old Man Ton and hurried to the driver’s side. Everyone stared until the car finally disappeared before they exchanged wry and disbelief gazes. Everything that just happened felt surreal. "Who... what is that old man's identity?" someone mumbled after a long silence, breaking the deep quiet that had settled over the area. Everyone looked at the speaker, having no response, but then someone threw another question. “I’m even more curious about that young man. What is his identity?” “This…” Everyone once again exchanged gazes before the eyes of someone widened. “Don’t you guys find his f
