*****‘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
***** "You're telling me you know my father?" Ares stared blankly at old man Ton who was standing respectfully before him and asked, thoroughly dumbstruck. “Yes,” Old Man Ton, who was still incredibly excited since he met Ares nodded his head hurriedly. “And you were an elder of the organization?” Ares asked again. “That’s right,” Old Man Ton nodded his head yet again. Ares finally frowned and began to contemplate everything he just learned with a serious expression on his face. Eventually, he looked back at the old man, who had remained silent throughout his contemplation. "How come I never knew there was another elder of the organization in this city apart from Master Lewis?" This question had been bothering Ares, and as soon as Old Man Ton heard it, he smiled, having already anticipated it. "Actually, young master," Old Man Ton began with a sigh, "probably only your father and mother knew about my existence and the fact that I am an elder of the organization." "Huh?" Ares
***** “Wow!” Old Man Ton suddenly exclaimed with disbelief, finding all he had just heard exceptionally difficult to believe. “Why does it feel that forever has passed instead of that little time?” He mumbled to himself. He couldn’t believe all the things that had happened since he entered seclusion, but finally, he sighed. “Those bastards are now even able to act unbothered in the outside world?” Suddenly, the sound of a door opening from behind startled both himself and Robert. They hurriedly looked back, only to see a solemn-faced Ares. “Young master…” “Grandmaster…” The two men called out respectfully, but Ares only nodded his head slightly before gazing at Old Man Ton. “When you saw my father last, what was his expression?” “Huh?” Both Old Man Ton and Master Robert gazed blankly at Ares. ‘What sort of question is this?’ They thought in unison, but Old Man Ton still pondered his question hard. "Well..." he began. "The last time I saw Master, he seemed to be struggling g
*****Have you ever been in a situation where everything just seemed out of place?That was what Ares was feeling at this moment, standing bewildered near his girlfriend’s bustling apartment and observing it.He was puzzled and couldn’t understand how the place would be crowded and noisy after Sarah had just informed him that she wasn’t at home.“Could it be that I’m at the wrong apartment?” Ares contemplated, but then he soon shook his head. "I'm sure this is her apartment. Although it's been a while since I last visited, how could I not recognize the flat whose rent I've been paying?"He couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly while pondering the situation.Ares, utterly drained and exhausted from days of relentless work, gathering the remaining balance for his girlfriend's birthday gift had rushed here immediately after securing the present, hoping to surprise her. Yet, as he was nearing her floor, he received a message from her, informing him that she was heading out with frie
*****“Darn!!! What did I just watch?"In a dormitory, a 25-year-old man, dressed only in his underwear, who had been seated at his desk with his laptop suddenly jumped to his feet and exclaimed."Ugh!!! Second sibling, could you please let me sleep? I have an early class tomorrow morning which I must attend!" Another person cried out with frustration and helplessness."Eldest... eldest brother, come… come and see this. I... I believe we need to inform the third brother immediately?""What?" The eldest brother, a man who appeared to be one year older than the second brother grumbled unhappily before he sat up from the bed and looked irritably at the nervous second sibling bro."Why should I contact the third brother, who decided to become our enemy merely because of that cheater?" He sneered, appearing offended, but the second brother disregarded his feelings."You must come and see this." He hurried toward the bed and pulled the eldest brother out of it, against his will and toward h
