*****“Did you not want to destroy that entire town? That’s also our wish, why don’t you just let us work together to reach our respective aims?”The Vanguard sat emotionlessly and listened to the voice doing its best to convince him on the cell phone.The call had entered just after reaching their destination, Olivia’s estate.The Vanguard did not respond for a while before he snorted coldly. “Would I not become the enemy of my fellow Earthlings if I decided to work with you stupid aliens?” He inquired coldly.The person on the other side of the call was thrown off guard for a second upon hearing the Vanguard’s response to his words.Although he was immediately infuriated, he did his best to calm himself.“Don’t you think you’ve already become the enemy of what you don’t want to be?” The voice carefully inquired.The Vanguard’s eyes finally gained a bit of emotion which was pain as soon as he heard the words, a second later, the emotion in his eyes metamorphosed into anger.
***** "Can your sect assure me that it will help me with my revenge if I join hands with you?" the Vanguard suddenly inquired in a hoarse voice, his face displaying an emotion no one had ever seen. The Grand Elder remained silent upon hearing the question, causing a look of panic to cross the Vanguard's face. Just as the Vanguard thought the Grand Elder wouldn't be able to give him the promise he needed; the Grand Elder chuckled. "Since we are already against the same enemy, turning us into friends, my sect will naturally do its best to help you," he responded. The Vanguard instantly heaved a heavy sigh, looking as though he was making a difficult decision, he had never thought he'd have to make in his life. "I will join hands with you guys," he said with great difficulty after grinding his teeth together. "I will join hands with your sect to bring that bastard and this city down once and for all." "I already expected this," the Grand Elder mumbled to himself, but loud enough f
***** ‘How I wish I’d found my parents by now. My life would have become perfect,’ Ares couldn’t help but suddenly contemplate with a heavy heart. At this moment, he was experiencing the sort of peace he had not experienced in a very long time and because of that, he had been feeling great before the previous thought crossed his mind. ‘Perhaps, it’s time I take proactive action of searching for them.’ Ares’s brows furrowed as he thought this and in the following second, the thought grew stronger, and before Ares knew it, he couldn’t take it away again. “That’s what I would do,” he mumbled to himself, making up his mind. As soon as he did that, something suddenly turned over on his body and immediately, a wide grin crossed his face as he lowered his head. What entered his gaze was the most beautiful face he had ever seen. It was so serene and peaceful, as the owner of the face lay gently on his chest. Ares couldn’t help but become enraptured, staring at this face and before he
***** “Are you okay?” Olivia hurriedly inquired, thinking she had hurt Ares, but then seeing the look of enjoyment on his face, she seemed to have realized something. "You..." she pointed at him, acting as though she were both mad while blushing. "What a horny dog," she mumbled before moving away. But in the process, she intuitively moved her butt the same way she had done earlier, causing Ares to once again moaned. Olivia’s heart skipped and she subconsciously bit her lips. Ares instantly looked at her like a hurt dog. “You… why did you do that?” he asked, looking pained, but Olivia acted as though she had no idea what he was talking about. “I… I will go change,” she said and quickly rushed into the massive washroom which also house a walk-in closet. On her way, she subconsciously looked toward Ares’s legs and her heart skipped again, seeing the bulge there. ‘So big!’ she thought with shock. Meanwhile, Ares couldn’t help but suddenly want to cry. He felt thoroughly cheated, b
***** The drive to the Johnson family’s estate took approximately 40 minutes, and during this journey, Olivia became increasingly panicked. At first, Ares thought Olivia's panic was due to him, but he soon realized it wasn’t the case; it was actually because of her grandfather. It was only then that he understood why Olivia had returned the day before—because she had received a call from her grandfather, informing her that he was critically ill. ….. "Please don’t be like this!" Unable to endure Ares’s silence and the heavy atmosphere in the car any longer, Olivia pitifully begged him as they arrived at their destination. Ares, however, only glanced briefly at Olivia before looking away. Even he had no idea why he was mad. Perhaps it was because he originally thought Olivia's return to the city the previous day was out of guilt. After all, he believed Olivia would have been alone with Olive for an entire week, and wondered what could have happened, among other things. All in al
*****A deafening hush filled the living room, where more than ten people were assembled. Everyone stared at Ares as though he were an alien.This silence persisted for a long time before suddenly, someone snapped.“Bastard! What do you mean my grandfather is no longer my grandfather?!!!” The enraged shout came from Rebecca, whose expression had changed the most.Though she appeared deeply infuriated, a closer look at her sweaty palms and the way she was rubbing the hem of her shirt would reveal that she was actually very nervous, merely pretending to be mad to hide her anxiety.Rebecca had never expected that Ares would uncover the truth at first glance. In fact, she hadn't expected him to discover anything at all.Actually, according to her and Mason's plan the previous day, no one else was supposed to see the old man's condition until Ares arrived so that no one would suspect anything.After Rebecca returned from Olivia's Villa the previous day, however, she changed her mind and we
*****“Hahahaha!!!” Someone abruptly burst into laughter after a moment of silence had filled the living room. The laughter was so loud, strong, and genuine, which soon infected almost everyone in the living room despite how nervous they had been a moment ago. Even Stones who was known for his stoic demeanor soon joined in, and before long, only the family of four—Ares, Olivia, Smith, and Ava were left out. “He wants us to be chased out? Hahaha!” “What a joke?! Hahahaha!” “This is probably the funniest thing I’ve heard in my life!” The small crowd laughed hard, as if they had been injected with laughing gas and this laughter continued for a while until suddenly; “You all heard what my son-in-law said, right?” “Huh!” As though the living room wasn’t filled with laughter a second ago, a sudden silence enveloped it, with everyone slowly turning their heads, Olivia and Ava included, and following that everyone’s mouths opened. If earlier that Smith had spoken back to Stones cou
***** Outside, everyone who had collapsed to the ground after escaping from the terrifying room, which seemed intent on crushing them currently stared in disbelief as the pitiful figure ran out. Their eyes widened in shock, and unable to believe what they had seen, everyone rubbed their eyes, thinking they must have misinterpreted the scene. “Even him?” Someone finally mumbled with disbelief before he could stop himself, shocked to the brim. Everyone had thought Stones wasn’t affected by the aura when he did not leave with them, and a few of them, most especially Rebecca and her mother, had been very proud of him for this reason. Now, however, their faces paled even more. “Hus…” Rebecca’s mother, one of the first to rush out, struggled to her feet to assist her husband when without any forewarning, he collapsed and fainted before her. “This…” All jaws further dropped, and then everyone forced a cold breath. “Is… is this really caused by… by second brother?” “Oh… my God!” “D
