2024-10-29 19:42:56Robert walked out of the hospital with a smile on his face, he remembered walking into the hospital yesterday with dirty clothes and without a cent but now he is coming out of the hospital with a debit card containing hundreds of millions and something with the potential of making ten times the money in his debit card and he was putting on a new cloth for the second time in his entire life, he was always wearing the clothes that his brothers in-law were tired of.
He pinched himself continuously to confirm whether this was all a dream or not because none of this feels real, his smile widened the more as he felt the pain.He was thinking of going home now to meet his in-laws but he kicked against the idea, he no longer need them in his life any longer."Ummm... It would be best to spend the day in the hotel and decide the next step that I need to take with this money" he muttered and walked to the nearest ATM machine to withdraw money to board a taxi that will take him to a luxurious hotel.His heart leapt with joy with every step that he took."The feeling of having money is sure splendid and wonderful" Robert thought to himself.****"Any news about Robert's whereabouts yet?" Mr Derrick asked furiously while pacing up and down the sitting room with uneasiness, his face clearly showed anger."He isn't someone that important to just get angry over because he is missing, we can get easily find someone to replace him to with, there are many people in the streets who will jump at the offer of free food, clothes and a place to lay the head" Mrs. Alice said and slumped on the chair lazily.Mr. Derrick scoffed and looked at her with anger in his eyes, his brows were furrowed. "What are you saying woman?" He asked in disbelief."This act will tarnish our image in the public, the rumors of back then haven't died down completely yet and have you forgotten what that costed us then, huh? We lost millions and huge contracts, do you want that to happen again?" He asked, looking at everyone and they all avoided his gaze once they saw that his eyes was on them."We can always cook up a believable story and sell it to the public and the media, at least we have friends who will sugarcoat it for us in the media" Dylan said with a slight scoff, he was happy that the good for nothing was finally out of their lives and he said was praying it is going to be like this forever."What the fuck are you saying, Dylan?" Mr. Derrick asked, surprised at his own family. It was crystal clear that they all hate Robert but all he was just concerned about is the loss that this news would cause once it goes out of the house."For once, I agree with Dylan" Davies said, his eyes still glued on the television, he was playing FIFA and was barely listening to their conversation."Word of this must not get out to the public, it must not leave the four corners of this room" Mr. Derrick warned as he climbed up the stairs to his room, clearly pissed at his family.He had just signed a huge contract that was worth millions with a multimillion company, he had been chasing it for a long while.If a word of this just mistakenly leaves the four corners of this house he was done for, because the rumor or rather the news that spread and nearly destroyed all his hard earned fortune would be resurrected again and it was more than enough to destroy the contract.Cassy barely said anything, she just walked to her room shortly after her father had left. She blamed herself partially for leaving the useless man she calls her husband alone to wander off in the street, of she had known she would have chosen a better option and put him in the boot before driving off because then, he would still be close to her and he would have no place to escape to.Cassy stopped immediately and a sinister smile appeared on her face. "Robert is going to come back" she said to herself.She was a hundred percent certain that Robert is going to come back home, since he didn't have anywhere else to go and she was sure that he wasn't with any money when she left him. He wasn't going to last on the street, he might probably die from hunger or the hunger will force him to come back to them, he clearly have no other choice, she knew him better than anyone among her family.She smiled as the thought of what she will do to him once he gets back filled her mind, the images of the torture and punishment she will put him through filled her head.Cassy determined she was going to make life a living hell for him, she planned on multiplying what he was going through by ten folds, a hundred fold if possible."Good evening ma'am" a maid that was walking by bowed slightly, drawing Cassy out of her thoughts.Cassy face morphed from the mysterious expression and a sinister smile to a deadly angry look, the maid shivered in fear."How many times have I told you to always kneel whenever you see me passing and bend your head low to the ground, huh?!" Cassy yelled at the maid that quickly went on her knee and bent her head to the floor.Cassy walked towards the maid and pulled her up by her hair which she packed in a ponytail to her feet.The maid yelled in pain, begging Cassy to release her hair, trying to release the latter's hand with her own."Get your stinky poverty stricken hands off mine" Cassy yelled at her and she obliged, tears were already streaming down her face endlessly.Cassy slapped the maid with her other free hand, released her and spat on her disgustingly before walking off feeling satisfied.

Robert came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist whistling loudly, his hair was wet and few strands of it glued to his face. There had been few not too obvious development on his body since he had that dream and woke up with a dragon tattoo on his arm. He could feel an immense power surging in his body and his chest had become slightly bigger with his abs now tightened. He laid on the bed and picked up the book that the old man, Mr. Lucian had given him, glancing through the pages, he could see a lot of things apart from the medicinal and flavor filled food, it was also filled with tips and how to dos of industries, there were more than one. Robert lips stretched to a full smile, the number of times he had smiled today was a lot more than the times he had smiled in his entire life. “I will come and find you when you are at the top, you are destined for greatness” the words of the man echoed in his head, the man had told just when he was about to leave. “I am goin

He had been coming up with different ideals for the business, he had planned on buying a land and building a restaurant but he don’t know where to get a land that would in the particular place where the business would be booming and he also need a chef that would be in charge of the cooking.

Robert woke up from his sleep, yawning and stretching, he heard a knock and he stood up wondering who might be there. He dragged his feet as he walked towards the door. He barely sleep in the afternoon like this at his in-laws house, except they have all gone out. He peeked from the door to check who was there, he opened it immediately he saw that it was none other than Hazel, he ushered her in and shut the door immediately after she had come in. She was no longer in the customized shirt of the hotel and the black skirt that stopped a little below her mid-thigh, she was now clad in a black top that stopped just above her belly button and a blue high waist ripped jeans, that hugged her body tightly, showing all her curves. She sat on the chair in the room while he sat on the one bed. “Should I order you anything?” Robert asked. “No” she said waving her hand. “Well, I have still got wine” he said and walked to the table, pouring some of the content from the bottle to the wine glass

Robert was all dressed up the next day, he was putting on a hoodie and a no0se mask to prevent anyone from recognizing him in the public and he was walking with a blonde haired guy, Liam. Liam is Hazel’s older brother, he is almost the same height as Robert, he was just like an inch or two shorter than Robert. “Ok, here we are, I’ve got a few more that are suitable for what my sister explained to me but let’s start with this one first” Liam said, standing with his hands holding his waist. Robert took a long look at the empty vast land before him, it was located in the streets. “Nah, I don’t want this one” Robert said after a long while, his hands were deep in his pockets. “Hazel told me you are an expert at stuff like this. I want to build a restaurant and I want the place where it will be more noticeable and be able to attract more customers. “Well, this is the cheapest but the least among the ones I have picked out for us to check out today. “How many have you picked out?” Rob

“Hundred million dollars?” Liam and lawyer Smith both asked in belief, they couldn’t believe their ears until he repeated it again. “Yes, hundred million dollars for this building” he affirmed and folded his hand across his chest looking at Mr. Jones awaiting his decision. “Hundred million dollars going…” Mr. Jones said and waited for a few minutes after getting no response from Sam who was gritting his teeth and folding his fist in anger. “Sold to Mr. Robert” Mr. Jones said and signaled for his lawyer to pull out the documents. “How can someone looking like a piece of trash as you be able to win over me in a bid over this house?” Sam asked angrily, walking to Robert with his fist folded and aiming for the latter’s head. He was fast and before anyone could react, Robert caught his punch in mid-air and turned to look at him with cold eyes. He twisted the arms, breaking some part of his bones, Sam let out a yell. He was surprised at how his day is turning horrible. He lost out som

Mr. Derrick saw that the rumors have been quelled completely, people are no longer talking again. Robert is no longer useful to him again, he was serving as a pawn before. To him in life it was either you use or you get used and he had gathered a few pawns and discarded them off once he knows that they have lack their usefulness. He had told his family that it was up to them to decide what they want to do with Robert if he decides to show up, they can either cast him off or keep on treating him as the trash he is but that was none of his business any longer. Every one of them was excited about it, Mrs. Alice and Cassy were the most happy about the news, they decided to keep him until they no longer have usefulness for him again. They love to see him despair, that look on his face as they crush him, always give them joy and it always make their heart leap excitedly.

It was 8 am, the Williams family were having their breakfast when they hear the sound of their doorbell. They ignored it at first, but it came again, they were all looking at each other. “Is anybody expecting anyone this early in the morning?” Dylan asked with a frown on his face. “I am not sure about that” Mr. Derrick said and went to sit on the couch with his legs crossed and a newspaper in his hand. “Davies go and get the door” Mr. Derrick said. “Why do I have to get it when we have a lot of people to do it in the house” Davies said with a scoff and continued eating his food. “Marie!!” Mrs. Alice called and a young lady putting on the black and white maids’ uniform came rushing in. “Ma, you called for me” she said with a bow.“Go and get the door” she said and Marie went immediately. “Oh! Mr. Robert good morning sir” The whole Williams family heard Marie’s voice loud and clear in the dining room and they turned their head immediately in surprise. “Do I have ear problems or

Robert quickly locked the window quietly and went to open the door, trying to fake a sleepy face. He saw Cassy standing in front of his door with a weird smile on her face. “Come and do my laundry now” She said and started walking back to her room. “Huh?” Robert asked wide eyed with surprise. “Don’t make me repeat myself” Robert kept on looking at her with shock, his mouth was opened down. Laundry by this time of the night? Robert wondered how she was this heartless. He sighed and followed behind her weakly. He couldn’t go the restaurant today and will go tomorrow unfailingly.He dragged his feet as he walked, he was clearly pissed but what could he do, he needed to bid his time, it was just a little amount of time before he gets what he wants. “Shit!” he cussed silently as he got to her room, she pointed to the clothes in the laundry basket and slumped on the bed.Robert carried the laundry basket and headed to the laundry room with a frown on his face.

Robert stood in front of the ceiling to roof glass in his office, staring at the view with his hands buried deep into his pockets, his mind slowly drifts back to the past few years, that very incident, just after he had saved Hazel. "Where are we?" she finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long while, since she woke up. "Oh! We are at that castle we once came to through one portal, you remember, right?" "Yes" she nodded her head."Anyways, how are you?"

“Well, you are a very dumb guy, you think I can’t use that same, exact powers you just used to destroy Liam” Robert said with a cold smile and look. “I knew that, I took that into consideration and took steps ahead of time, which was poisoning you, au revoir Robert” he said with a dark chuckle. “What—“ Robert coughed out and he covered his mouth, he felt a liquid on his hand, he raised it up to his face and he saw the red liquid on his palm, “fu—fuck” he muttered and fell face flat to the ground. Lucian let out a loud laughter that was filled with so much joy as he made his way to the clan’s head castle and sat on the clan’s head seat while Wayde followed behind him closely and stood beside him as he sat on the chair. His heart danced with joy as his hands ran through the clan’s head chair. “Fuck! It’s all my goddamned fault” Robert sobbed silently with a deep pain in his heart, his body was slowly feeling numb all over, he was losing consciousness, in a matter of a few seconds,

Robert charged towards him and grabbed him by his collar, he raised him up and was about to slam his back on the ground but Damien grabbed his arm and broke free of his grasp and landed on the floor with a slight cough. Robert doesn't look like he was going to stop any moment from now with his continuous attacks, he kept on throwing several punches on Damien which were all becoming successful hits. Surprisingly still, Damien didn't retaliate, he only tried to step up his defense and increase his speed to match with Robert's current one but his body can't keep up again like in the beginning when he had blocked and evaded almost all his attacks successfully due to the impact of the successful attacks. He struggles to stand up from the floor with a groan, he wiped his nose with the back of his nose and stretched his hand forward, “See, I am your mother’s subo—“ Before he could finish his statement or stand properly, Robert charged at him again and gave him a kick from under his bod

Robert kissed her on her forehead, “Keep her somewhere safe that you know she won’t be attacked and put a very powerful barrier that will prevent anyone from entering there, around the place” he said and walked out.

Robert stepped into the portal and sat on the couch with a tired sigh. He stood up back and went into his wine cellar, he picked out a new wine and pick out a glass cup on his way to the sitting room. He sat on the couch and poured the wine into the glass cup. He picked up the wine glass, looking at the red liquid, it was like he was about to puke because of the resemblance of the red liquid content from the bottle to the blood of a human. He dropped the wine on the table in front of him and sat back on the chair, he pulled out the phone from his pocket and dialed a number, placing it in his ear, the sound of the line ringing was the only sound that could be heard in the sitting room. The phone was picked and Alice's voice came in. "Hello sir' she said with a bit of excitement in her voice. "Liam said you went on a vacation, that is the major reason why you couldn't be reached during the past few days, is it true sir? I don't quite believe that man" she said with a slight chuckle.

Liam sat on a swivel chair in the board meeting room with his back turned towards the entrance, his face could not be seen from any angle, apart from the front, it was only his back that could be seen. He heard when the door was being pushed open and when it was locked, the person that brought in Dennis was dismissed with his hand. “Have your seat” he said without looking back. He turned the swivel chair around and faced Dennis with a grin on his face. “Here is your anonymous caller” he said, stretching his hands apart with a smirk on his face. The surprised look on Dennis face just made the smile to widen the more. “Wait, is this a joke, you are telling me that I lost to you” he said, pointing his fingers to Liam with a shocked look on his face that didn’t seem like it was going to be wiped off any moment from now at all. “Well, I am sure that you didn’t expect to lose to someone like me, I am one of his secret trump card who just seem to have a thinking of my own and can make

"If you want to continue this game of yours, then I am ready" Dennis said with a devilish smile on his face, his finger was hooked in the hole of a knife, which he twirls playfully around his fingers. A switch was on his other hand and a mask was on his face. He sat on a desk in an empty room staring at Carlton who was sitting on a chair with his hands tied behind it. "Ain't playing games man, I already told you times without number" Carlton answered shakily. "If you don't admit your crime, then I will have no other choice than to press this switch in my hand and you know what happens when I do" Dennis raised the switch up in the air to show him clearly, he waved it at him. "Don't involve my family in this shitty game of yours, you bastard!" Carlton yelled at him furiously, jerking the chair and trying to break free off it, not minding the pain that he was feeling as he dragged his hand apart but it was all to no avail.

Robert walked towards Lucian and Wayde all covered in blood, from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet, even his shirt glued to his shirt and the sight looked quite scary to look at, the aura radiating around him was scary and overwhelming also. The look on his face was cold and void of emotions, his eyes was dark, he looked like the complete monster himself while walking towards Lucian, and his aura had changed completely. “Fuck!” Lucian muttered underneath his breath as he stared around, from the wall that was covered with blood and guts spilled on it, bodies with incomplete limbs, to the ground that was bathed in blood also. It was such a scary and disgusting sight to behold, the heavy stench of blood filled the whole passageway. He raised his finger and pointed at Lucian, who looked a bit shaken immediately he saw the hand being raised towards him, "make preparations, we are attacking them in a few days, I am not holding back again, the more I stay, the more I get atta

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT
Robert made a stance against Lucian and Wayde, who also made a stance, Robert charged in against the both of them with insane speed, Wayde and Lucian weren’t matching his speed but they made up for that in their numbers which gave them a slight advantage against him to cover up what they lack compared to him. Upon the advantage they have against Robert, he still didn’t seem to be fazed by it, he faced the challenge head on. He stopped abruptly in his steps as Wayde and Lucian evaded him in the nick of time immediately they saw him approaching them. “Come on, you all really need to stop running and fight me heads on are you both scared?” he said while taking slow steps towards Lucian, Wayde saw the opportunity that Robert was finally open and he dashed forward. “Gotcha” Robert muttered under his breath and with perfect timing he turned back and grabbed Wayde who was running with full speed by the neck and he slammed him on the floor, not taking his eyes off Lucian completely and wa
