Dillon whirled around to see a neatly dressed man in a black tuxedo. His hair which was relaxed stunned Dillon as it was black and shiny. This man looked no less than 50, but thanks to how good he had taken care of himself, he still walked and looked agile.
Young Master? The power he felt minutes ago left him as he got overwhelmed with extreme fear.He looked at the elderly man and the elderly man looked at him, none saying a word. After a while, Dillon bolted. However, he was surprised to see he hadn't gotten far despite the fact his feet seemed to be moving.Glancing down, he realized he was stuck to the same spot as before. What was happening?"I'm sorry, sir. I had no idea they were your children. Punish me, beat me up, but don't take me to the cops as I have no money to bail myself." Dillon pleaded desperately.This man was a part of a wealthy family as well. Of course it made sense that he had his own ability as well. And if that was the case, then he, Dillon, was screwed.The elderly man had a confused look as he rushed up to Dillon, releasing him in the process."Young master, are you okay?" He asked worriedly, reaching out to touch Dillon. However, Dillon flinched and backed away. Seeing this, the man held back."Your son is over there." Dillon mumbled, pointing at the boys he had beaten up.The man didn't spare them a glance as he quickly shook his head and introduced himself to Dillon, "Young master Dillon, I'm Brayden Darren.""You know my name. How do you know my name?" Dillon asked suspiciously, relaxing in the process.Now that he thought of it, there was no reason for him to run earlier. After all, all he wanted was someone to put him out of his misery. Having a wealthy man do it might heighten the chances of him being born again in a wealthy home in his next life. And even if it didn't, he could always die again."You were 9 months, 8 days and three hours old when your father and mother got into a ghastly accident which claimed their lives. I was your parents' chauffeur, responsible for driving them safely to any function they attended. However, I couldn't make it one day because your father tasked me with arranging your baby shower."Brayden had to stop talking when he realized Dillon had his eyes pinned on him the whole time."Is anything the matter, young master?" He asked in confusion.Much to his surprise, Dillon laughed out loud. Getting on his feet, he hissed, "I've heard of people like you. Actors who are hired to mislead people. I'm sorry, but I don't have a penny on me at the moment. In fact, I just got fired from my job, got beaten up by a guy my girlfriend was cheating on and just tried to kill myself. So if you're here based on James' order to make my life a living hell, you're late. Too late."Brayden had his eyes widen in shock. The next second, he was having a moment while Dillon watched on awkwardly.Even though this person was a con-man, he was still old and merely trying to make ends meet by doing something so disgraceful.Dillon, who was empathetic towards the elderly and children, didn't have the mind to walk away. Instead, he took out the money the security guard had stuffed into his pocket and slipped it into Brayden's hand."It's not much, but it should be enough to take care of a few bills for you. Go extort someone richer." Dillon sighed and tried to walk away.Brayden who had cried not because of the reason Dillon expected, but because he felt guilty and ashamed that the young master of the Grendel family was living such a pitiful life and it was all his fault.He quickly got up and whipped out a black card from his pocket. "I'm so sorry to hear all about what happened to you, young master. And while you're not in the right frame of mind to hear what I have to say about the family you come from, please hold onto this. When next I return, I'll bring a proper one."Dillon turned the card over, inspecting it."What is this? A mall or meal card? It doesn't even have a name on it." He asked suspiciously, glancing up at Brayden."It's one of the ten black cards in the world, young master. Even if you buy the whole country, it'll be like a drop in the ocean compared to the amount in that card." Brayden explained with a smile."And you want me to have it?" Dillon asked in amusement.Of course he didn't believe this old man, but he was happy this old man had a good heart."If it's not enough, I can get you two of it or anything you want, young master." Brayden quickly said.Dillon had doubt in his eyes, but he decided to leave it at that. His eyes went over to where the three boys previously were, but discovered they were no longer there. The only person there was their victim who was now emotionally traumatized."Young master, this is my card with my phone number on it. Call me if you need anything. No matter how small you think it is, don't hesitate to call me." Brayden told Dillon, placing his guard in Dillon's pocket.Dillon merely nodded, not taking his words sincerely. He walked up to the girl and helped her up. Although his clothes were dirty, it was still a better covering for the girl.Seconds after Dillon left, Brayden smiled broadly, the words, "He looks and acts just like his father." Escaping his lips.Then he turned his attention to the money in his palm. He folded it neatly and stuffed it in his pocket, then he walked out to the main road where a black maybach exelero was parked.No sooner had he gotten in did his phone ring. Taking a glance at the caller, Brayden's face changed."Did you find him?" An authoritative gruffy voice asked from the other end.Brayden looked outside the car's window where he saw Dillon walking on the road with nothing on other than his briefs and black singlet.Redirecting his gaze into the car, he responded, "No, I didn't. It was just a false alarm."Dillon hadn't gotten far when he decided to stop and glance behind him. Just in time, he caught sight of Brayden walking towards a maybach. He looked away before Brayden caught him looking. A million and one thing on his mind. He lowered his eyes to the black card and tightened his grip on it. Gulping down nervously, he thought, 'Could that man really not be a con-man? And does it mean this bank card is real and I'm really the heir to a family called the Grendel?' As those questions threw him into confusion, he felt a light tap on his shoulder and flinched. Hiding the card behind him, he turned to see who it was. "Mr. Darren, are you back to take your card?" Dillon asked hesitantly, but Brayden merely smiled. There was a thunderclap before there was a heavy downpour. Brayden quickly took out an umbrella and held it above Dillon while he was beaten by the rain. This action stunned Dillon and for a moment, he was left speechless. "Young master, I presume you're ready for us to ta
Dillon alighted from the maybach a few meters away from Yale University. The day was monday, which meant a lot of students were in school. He hurried over to his dormitory, but a student was quick to spot him. Unknown to him, the whole school knew what transpired between him and James as a student had live streamed the entire thing. "I expected to see him limping. I thought James broke a few of his bones?" "He's putting on a charade, I was right there at the party and saw how badly beaten he was." Dillon increased the pace of his legs unable to withstand their chattering.However, before he got to his dormitory, a hand reached out and pulled him into an empty hall. Dillon placed a hand on his chest in relief seeing the person was none other than Merlin Wright, his best friend. The relief on his face disappeared when he caught sight of the bat Merlin held. "For any reason, you wouldn't swing that at me, right?" Dillon asked, taking two steps backward. Merlin raised a brow as he
The living room was opulent and there was no doubt it belonged to an upper class family. Nestled amidst the extravagant surroundings, an aged man in his early 70s sat in a comfortable wheelchair, his wisps of silver hair contrasting against a backdrop of plush velvet cushions. Despite his age, he emanated an aura of dignity and wisdom, his weathered face marked with the lines of a life well-lived.In his lap, the man gently cradled a watering can, its gleaming silver surface glinting in the soft illumination. He leaned forward to delicately sprinkle water upon the lush, verdant houseplants that thrived in their opulent pots.As the man continued to water the houseplants, a serene ambiance filled the room. This serene ambiance was interrupted when a tall man walked into the living room. The elderly man didn't pay attention to this figure for more than twenty minutes until he was done watering his houseplants. "Senior Mr. Grendel, I found him!" This person was no other than Brayden D
The boy, who appeared to be no older than ten, clenched his teeth angrily as he glared at the man before him."What is going on? What did the kid do?" A bystander asked. "That kid dared to crush Moses Lake's golf ball simply because it hit him." Another person responded."He did? Tsk, then he's an insolent brat who deserves whatever he's going through!" A passerby chimed in. Dillon and Merlin listened to the conversation going on within the crowd and exchanged concerned looks.They noticed a basket filled with golf balls and markings on the road, indicating that Moses Lake had been playing golf there. Although the road was temporarily closed for construction, it was not intended to be used as a golf course by some arrogant bastardDillon had no idea who this Moses guy was, but he knew a rude and vile person when he saw them. Ignoring the ongoing chatter, Moses took another golf ball from someone nearby and placed it on the road, preparing to swing his club. He was a professional a
Dillon was dumbfounded. Did this boy's iris just turn to a darker shade of blue? Like mine? Moses was obviously angered by Timothy's words as he threateningly hit his golf club on the floor as he affirmed, “Since you three have a death wish, I'll grant it. After all, it's an honor to be killed by me.” He nodded at the group of men who had alighted from the boss. With their club, the men advanced towards Dillon, Timothy, and Merlin. Dillon quickly snapped out of his thought and glanced towards the men. The first person raised his club to hit Timothy, but Dillon reached out in time to stop him. With darkened eyes, he hissed, “No matter what, you should never hit kids with such tenacity!”Then he sent the thug flying towards the bus he came with. Such a show of strength stunned the rest of them, but when they thought of the advantage they had against Dillon and Merlin, they kept advancing towards them. Timothy, on the other hand, was prepared to take out anyone headed towards him, b
“I'll relay your message, young master.” Brayden nodded with a bow. “I noticed you got here in a taxi. I'd love to deliver any car of your choice to you. You just have to tell me which of them you want.” Dillon leaned forward and raised two fingers, “I want two cars. A Bugatti Veyron and a Jaguar XJ220. Deliver the Jaguar as soon as possible.” Brayden, who had taken out his phone to write down the cars Dillon called, paused and glanced up at Dillon. “Young master, the Jaguar you mentioned isn't an expensive car. Are you sure you don't mean to imply something else?” “The Jaguar is extremely fast and sleek, and it sells for a little amount compared to the rest of it. Besides, I'll be taking it with me wherever I go and since I would rather not be the center of attention by pulling up in a car worth more than ten million dollars, the Jaguar is a perfect fit.” Dillon calmly explained the reason for his choice. Brayden found it reasonable, so he nodded. “Noted, young master. What colo
The restaurant was a luxurious one which was often frequented by wealthy people.When the people inside saw this group walk in, they just concluded they were someone's bodyguard. But because of how scary the boss looked, they once again concluded that whoever they were guarding must be someone powerful. “I didn't know the restaurant would be receiving an important figure today. Who could it be?” “Where's the lobby manager? The lobby manager should know who he is.” Two people whispered to themselves. Suddenly, someone took in a deep breath when the group of people got into the elevator. “The one with the knife cuts on his face who looks very scary is the head of a notorious gang here in New York. They call him Rafter. But his real name is Joel Maximus.” His words sent fear into the spines of numerous people and one by one, they all returned to their seats. Everyone knew Joel Maximus. He was a hound dog for the rich and powerful. He was responsible for taking care of and commutin
“There was only him when I went down. I apologize for not bringing you the person who specifically hired me.” Joel apologized for not bringing James. The latter was gone when he went to drag Moses to Dillon. “Who was the second person?” Dillon thought he should inquire. “James Roderick. He's best friends with Moses Lake. They've been best friends since childhood.” Joel responded. James Roderick. The person who Rachel went off with and who had Dillon beaten to a pulp and almost killed him. As a result of that incident, Dillon missed days of work and later got dismissed from his job as a delivery man. Dillon was yet to pay him a visit. But he didn't expect they'd meet again this soon. “What do you think you're doing, you fool!” Moses asked, witnessing how Joel spoke to Dillon gently. He refused to believe his eyes. He had heard about Joel. Joel was considered to be extremely ruthless and didn't care about pleasing anyone. As long as he was offered money, he'd immediately become an
