***** "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
“Grandfather, I thought you said my cousin and her husband are already here?” Rebecca walked into the room where her grandfather was seated and inquired with a nervous expression slightly appearing on her face. The old man frowned and studied Rebbeca for a moment before nodding his head. “That was what she said,” he responded. “This… how come she isn’t here yet? Is she and her husband of them going to take forever to arrive?” She mumbled, both frustrated and furious. The old man could finally not hold it back any longer. "Are you really sure this meeting is just for you to apologize to your cousin and introduce her husband to the family?" “Huh…” Rebecca wasn’t expecting this response. She subconsciously swallowed hard, quickly trying to force herself from losing her composure. "Are you still doubting me, grandfather?" she asked, acting sad. The old man hurriedly shook his head before eventually sighing. “Don’t fret, your cousin and her husband will be soon here.” Rebecca opene
***** Back at Mason’s place. He strode to his room after the call with Rebecca was dropped and opened a secret compartment once inside. He removed a tightly sealed golden box from within the box and inside this box, there is a sort of syringe and injection. Mason picked up the two items, and a wicked smirk instantly appeared on his lips. "So, what if you are powerful? Don't I have this god-killing item?" he mumbled to himself before putting the items back as he found them, closing the box, and picking it up. He carefully placed the box into a bag and carried it, then he picked up his car key before walking out. "Time to get to work before I lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to someone else," he muttered before leaving the villa. Unknown to Mason, as soon as he locked his room’s door, a sort of rune seemed to flash in the air behind him before disappearing. At the same time, in a long place away, a face very familiar to Ares and his third brother opened his eyes and a sm
***** Ares was incredibly ashen at this moment, seeing the long cut on Olivia’s face and the crimson-red blood gushing out of it.Despite always convincing himself that he felt nothing for her and that his continuous staying by Olivia's side was solely due to their first encounter; to make it up to her, Ares was unable to hide the stabbing pain in his heart as he looked at her present appearance.He was beyond suffocated and he couldn’t even control his trembling body and thundering heart at all.Ares had never expected to meet this scene at all.Although he knew Olivia's abductor had malicious intentions, he had never imagined they would harm her, not even to this extent per se, since their only demand was for him to come alone.He believed they had only abducted his wife because they couldn't reach him directly, thinking he was the one they wanted.Ares continued trembling while at the same time, releasing the sort of coldness that is now slowly freezing the body, heart, an
******Meanwhile, the moment Olivia was done yelling, Laura, seeing the number of muscular men streaming inside, snapped back to reality and cast a bewildered look at their leader.“Why did you need so much men?” She inquired with confusion before something immediately occurred to her.Her gaze instantly turned to one of confusion.“Don’t… don't tell me you lot are actually scared you wouldn’t be able to handle this thin stick whom even I could crunch with my bare hands?” She inquired with astonishment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, as she found it funny.All the gang members immediately frowned with dissatisfaction as soon as they felt the condescension in her voice, and the leader as well before he eventually shook his head and responded.Miss, this person…” he pointed at Ares before trailing off for a moment, his heart hysterically screaming danger to him.“This person is not an ordinary person per se,” he finally said what was in his mind with gritted teeth, stunning
*****"How can this be? How?" Laura gazed at the scene before her with disbelief, the expression on her face resembling that of someone who was slowly losing her sanity.She couldn’t believe her eyes and she refused to believe it.‘It isn’t supposed to end like this… it is not!’ Her heart pounded hysterically in her chest as she thought.Right now, she was completely hit by unwillingness and desperation, wanting to tear her hair out.She had been thrilled out of her soul after her sugar daddy suggested this plan and she had even over-envisioned countless ways to torment both Ares and Olivia.She had believed she would finally shove Olivia out of the way and get her deserved vengeance.Never had she thought all her plans and fantasies would be obliterated just as she started to execute them.“It is you!!!” She suddenly glanced at Ares, who was presently hugging Olivia and mumbled like a psycho, pointing at him with the expression on her face turning deranged.“All this was you
*****"I can't grasp how you keep surpassing me in success, consistently making my hard work worthless when you're nothing but a dumb, foolish, and stupid bitch!" Laura suddenly sighed with frustration upon seeing the ignorant expression on Olivia’s face.Olivia was instantly startled upon hearing her. She involuntarily raised her eyes at Laura, wondering what she is talking about.Seeing her like this, Laura, feeling like pulling her hair out of her head from frustration opened her mouth and began.“My informant in your company told me after the failed demolition that someone else had claimed the glory for stopping it,” she stated firmly before her eyes abruptly flashed with playfulness."You won't believe what I found out after verifying the authenticity and checking the background of the person who claimed the glory that did not belong to them," Laura finally smirked mysteriously.Although Olivia currently hated Laura to the core, she couldn't help but feel a sudden deep curio
