***** “How come I had no idea that you own one of those incredibly rare-to-come-by second-chance medicines?” “Mistress, We kept this a secret from you because we knew that you’d have intentionally been careless about your own life and would have done something very silly if you had known about it, which would have in turn made us use the medicine on you unnecessarily.” “That’s right mistress. Look at how you have risked your life today. Had we long used the medicine that was assigned to us by the master when he was alive as the last line of defense for you, wouldn’t we have only become helpless as we watched your vitality gush out of your body and dwindle till it disappear now?” This was what Williams heard as he and the fourth king were respectfully led into a lounge by the lady who had come to relay the second king’s wish to them. No sooner had they entered than they were noticed by the second king who was now half lying and half sitting on a sofa and the two elderly women, who
******Knowing what Williams was thinking due to the expression on his face, Simi smiled and instantly felt another wave of respect for him.She sighed and opened her mouth.“My family’s name is…”Simi embarked on telling Williams and Marcus her story and background.However, the more Williams and Marcus hear, the wider their mouth open with shock, and the more disbelieving they become.They soon became engrossed in the novelty story that sounded surreal to them and they became lost.The story was captivating, emotional, and blood-pumping.As it was, Simi was from one of the several powerful hidden families located in the world, as she had claimed.Her family’s strength was several times above that of the strongest family in Zed City, dang, even in the whole of the country, but that was still from her explanation. Not that Williams and Marcus have another way to confirm.it was a peace-loving family and would rarely fight with others unless they were friendly matches most of
******As soon as Mark nodded his head in response to her question, Simi smiled and instantly felt another wave of respect for him, knowing what Mark was thinking in his mind.She sighed internally before she eventually opened her mouth.“My family’s name is…”As though she were narrating a story that had nothing to do with her, which was obviously a facade she put on to keep her emotions from getting out of control, Simi embarked on telling Williams and Marcus the story.The more Williams and Marcus hear, however, the wider their mouths open with shock, and the more disbelieving they become.They were soon engrossed in the novelty story that sounded surreal to them.It was not only a captivating story, it was both emotional and blood-pumping as well.As it was, Simi was from one of the several powerful hidden families that were located in the world, as she had claimed.Her family’s strength was top-notch and several times above that of the strongest family in Zed City.Her
***** Even before they get to where the first king was locked, the sound of constant wiping and grunting of pain already entered the ears of Williams and the trio. They quickly grasped the origin of these noises as soon as they arrived at the jail that was located within the second faction's estate. In the place, a pitiful-looking elderly man, with tattered, blood-soaked clothes and numerous visible injuries, was bound to a chair. Two women who were presently displaying faces filled with hatred were continuously lashing him with two long belts adorned with embedded nails. The ladies were sweating profusely, a testament to how they had long been using all the strength they could muster to whip the first king who had now lost all the traces of grace and pride he ever had in his life. “You bastard! This is for my third sister! (whip!!)” “This is for Her Highness!!! (whip!!)” “This is for my best friend whom your dogs killed!! (whip!!!)” “This is for my…” The beauties continued c
*****“What… what where are you going?”As though Williams was an approaching devil who was going to extract his soul and give it the greatest torture known and unknown to a man, the first king began to tremble when he saw him getting nearer to himself.Unintentionally, he recalled the image of how Williams had easily taken down the strongest backer he had ever gotten in his life, and the old man almost fainted from fear.As for the others, they looked at Williams with perplexity, not knowing what he was going to do.‘Will he resort to torture?’ The old granny thought and both the second and fourth kings shared her thoughts as well. This was also the same conclusion the old man had also come to that scared the living hell out of him.However, Williams didn’t do as they’d thought, instead, he suddenly placed his right hand calmly on the now frantically fidgeting old man’s head as soon as he got to him, then he shut his eyes.“Hun…”The spectators exchanged further bewildered ga
***** The inside of the lounge was unusually quiet at this moment, with everybody gazing blankly at Williams. Their faces ranged with all shades of colors, most of which were of intense shock, disbelief, and deep rage. Nobody was able to speak for more than ten minutes after Williams was done narrating what he had managed to extract from the first king’s memory. “Are… are you saying that that bastard was the one who had kidnapped the adopted sister whom I’ve been searching for for almost four years now?” Simi suddenly quivered as she inquired of this, her eyes rapidly turning red and her face looking painful. Although Williams pitied her, he still nodded his head. “So, because my sister argued with his subjects that I’m more powerful than him, he turned her into his sex slave, subjecting her to various sorts of torture every single day until he killed slaughtered her?” Again, Williams nodded his head when he heard this question. As soon as Simi got this confirmation, however,
*******Presently within the hood of the first faction, a big mass of land that has various high-end buildings planted on it and all sorts of luxurious vehicles.Gazing at the black aches that were still letting off smoke before them at this moment, everybody felt emotional, these were especially so for the four kings.A deafening silence pervaded the place before eventually, someone Williams opened his mouth.“Now that the danger is out of the way, what should we do about the first king?”“Give him to me.”As though Simi had long been waiting for this question to be asked, she hurriedly glanced at Williams with bright eyes.This brightness, however, only made Williams feel a strong chill run down his spine, then swallowing hard, he hurriedly nodded his head while shaking it internally at the first king’s future fate.“That’s done then, the first king is yours.”“Thank you.” As though she had won a jackpot, the second king became excited while a sort of scary aura began to flas
*****“Are… are you telling me that all the resources and manpower sent to that backwater place had been destroyed, the third elder included?”A beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly trembled hard and then she clenched her fists with all the physical strength she could muster.Her eyes rapidly turned red and then she sent a hateful and furious glare in the direction of the person who was presently bowing to her.The person, a very old granny immediately shivered in the face of this gaze, but she forced herself to remain calm before she slowly nodded her head.“Who… who was it? Who was it that dared to foil my perfectly prepared plan? How did we end up losing more resources and manpower at a time like this, how?”A strong wave of killing intent abruptly shot out of the middle-aged woman. This killing intent she was released was just so powerful that it wasn’t a mere intent, but instead, black smoke that formed the shape of countless grim reapers that were ready to strike and take
