***** Mason had been completely busy and engrossed in preparing for the next day’s action after returning to the villa that day. He had even utterly forgotten about the men he gave the task to monitor Ares round the clock, but that was before he received a sudden message from them. At first, Mason was too lazy to check the message, however, he changed his mind after thinking that it might be an important message. The content of the message was; «We’ve gotten a piece of important intel which might be important, concerning the target.» Mason’s eyes immediately constricted upon reading this. “A piece of important intel that might be important to me?” He mumbled to himself before suddenly, a sort of fear took over his heart. ‘Hope it isn’t that that bastard had found out that I’ve been busy laying around traps for him?’ The instant this thought crossed his mind, Mason became terrified. Perhaps, he wouldn’t even have gone through the trouble of being bothered to poison Ar
*****“You are telling me that that so-called Vanguard who had outright rejected my goodwill to join my sect is also determined to kill the so-called grandmaster you have found?”Inside a dark meeting place, the grand elder who presently pressed his phone against his ears asked.He had initially not wanted to answer the call, given how he was in an intense meeting.However, hearing what his son had just reported to him, his mood became even more great.“This is great.” He suddenly laughed, scaring everyone in the meeting place as they had never seen him laugh before.Even Mason, who was at the other end of the call was scared badly.He hurriedly checked the ID of the person he was calling, to make sure he hadn’t made a mistake. However, seeing that it was really his father, he swallowed hard.‘Have… have I bathed the wrong soap?’ he thought as his heart began to pound hysterically.However, it looked like his father hadn’t finished giving his shock, as his next word finally s
*****“You think a no-name person would be capable of killing the enemy we weren’t able to kill even after deploying almost all the power of our sect times without number?” The Patriarch inquired, sounding incredibly disappointed.The grand elder immediately understood why no one was excited about the news he just shared.‘No wonder nobody else but me could be the brain of this sect,’ he thought with a sigh in his mind before carefully looking at the Patriarch.“Number one, we don’t know whether the grandmaster found is the same one we had fought against for centuries,” he suddenly stated calmly, no longer showing any of his previous excitement.Before anyone could react, the elderly man continued. “It might be that person’s descendant, moreover, even if it’s that person, for him to have shown his face now after disappearing for some years only indicated that they are now very certain of their strength.”Everyone’s brows immediately furrowed, hearing the grand elder’s explanatio
***** Although he was severely injured, Master Liam wasn’t sad per se, instead, he was presently thrilled beyond words, as he had never anticipated that his impulsive action would result in such a significant reward. It wasn’t that master Liam intentionally wished to give his life away by sneaking his way into the lion’s den. No, he went because he was overwhelmed by intense curiosity. The reason for this curiosity was to understand why the Demon sect would suddenly withdraw just when they were so close to butchering him. That's correct. Master Liam truly believed he would lose his life this time when the Patriarch of the Demon sect, whose strength likely matched that of his own master, joined forces with his men to face him. He had even resolved to fight to the death, never expecting that just as the two sides were about to clash, the Demon sect would withdraw, glaring at him with ferocity and reluctance. Being no fool, Master Liam quickly deduced that something urgent must hav
*****Ava’s shout of fear filled the car and almost deafened the trio with her, then she became pale.“Do you bastard even know what an enormous place like Greenville estate entails?”“You useless entity! Not even the entire main family would be able to pay if we were caught trespassing!!!”Ava was really scared shitlessly this time around, dumbfounding Ares.He had always thought Ava was a courageous woman who had no fear for anyone and anything, but now… Ares finally smiled wryly after a while of hearing Ava’s yell.He was about to assure her when he felt a sudden hard tug on his chair. “Turn this fucking car around now you wretched bastard! I’ve made up my mind not to accept you!”Her voice was filled with certainty and gave way to no argument, showing that no matter what anyone told her, she wouldn’t listen again.As soon as Olivia heard this, her heart pounded hysterically in her chest and she quickly looked toward her father for help.What she saw instantly made the wor
***** This is the sort of wife he wanted. One that would freely show her emotion before him and not one that would only always exclude coldness whenever she sees him. Filled with love, Ares slowly raised his head to pat Olivia’s head, but then suddenly, he felt two icy-cold auras rushing at him from the back. One was normal while the other was laced with killing intent, causing Ares’s heart to immediately shake before he hurriedly took back his hand. “I was only trying to ignite the engine,” he looked back and explained with a nervous smile on his face, but neither Ava nor Smith responded, instead, they just glared at him, clearly indicating their disbelief in his explanation, prompting Ares to quickly start the engine after a moment of awkwardness. With that, he drove in silence, and a sense of calm settled over the car, causing him to unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the farther Ares drove into the estate, the more nervous Ava became, until she suddenly glanc
*****Ava couldn’t believe her eyes, so she frantically robbed them before looking at the elderly man standing before her again.“Ma… Master Robert?” She carefully called again, thinking she must have seen wrongly.Seeing her like this, however, Master Robert almost laughed as if it was funny, but knowing that the other party was his master’s mother-in-law, he dared not.“Good day ma’am,” he suddenly lowered his head so much that he was almost kowtowing.This instantly made Ava’s heart run toward her throat.She didn’t even know how she hurriedly rushed out of the car and helped the elderly man up. “You… you shouldn’t… you shouldn’t bow for me,” she swallowed nervously.“I… I don’t deserve it.” As soon as she stated this, she bowed toward Master Robert, almost scaring the elderly man to death.“I…” Master Robert didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ‘If you don’t deserve my bow, please who else deserves it?’ he thought tearfully but dared not say it out, instead, he looked towa
*****“This…” Ares was badly shaken at this moment as he watched Smith kneel on the floor to him and address him as young master.‘What’s going on?’ He thought with a foggy mind, unable to react for a moment, but then he was startled away when he felt someone tightly holding his legs.“Young master! How could you have been beside me all these while and I’ve been blind! I’ve been waiting for you and Master all these years!”“I’ve waited and I was just about to give up, thinking you wouldn’t come again, but you’ve actually been beside me for more than a week now and I’ve been too blind to see you!”“I need to be persecuted for this!”“How could I have been so blind to see you?!”“How could I have watched you getting bullied by my wife all these weeks you’ve been beside me?!”The middle-aged man sobbed like a little kid, scaring Ares so badly that he was covered to the brim in goosebumps.He wanted to react and help the middle-aged man up, but he kept failing woefully as he was
