Chapter 121They all arrived, they were nine in numbers. The patriarch who is still very much alive and healthy enough to be suspicious, then his first son with his wife and two children, his second son with his wife and no child, the third son and the last daughter with her husband. They’ve wondered on who the guest downstairs could be that required for all their presence. As soon as they got to the living room, coming further to seat the man seated with his legs crossed on a single seater couch with a suffocating aura swarming around him. Fear tripped on their soul, tremor took over their body and their walking steps faltered the more they approach. Avon noticed their arrival, his cold voided eyes stare around them, “Take your seat!” He ordered, a lifeless voice that brought nothing more than perturbation that swallowed each and every of their existence. Even, Abigail who was married to Sean, the second son of the Parker Family was scared to her wits, to utter and shout out tha
Chapter 122 By the time, Sarah; wife to Grayson, Sean; husband to Abigail, Arvin and Donna; the last daughter received a phone call. And all falling into the state of despair that Grayson had earlier fell into. Damon; the third son could deduce that each and every of them had gotten a bad news, still guessing on what his could be and what could have be said to them his phone began ranging. He took it and without waiting for Avon’s approval placed it above his ear, “Hello,” he said in an hurried tone.“Sir Damon, this is your secretary speaking. I don’t know how it happens sir, but I’m calling to let you know there’s nothing more of Damon’s Enterprises than the ashes.” The feminine voice of his female secretary had spoke out in a low sad detected tone.This threw Damon off as he bounced up from where he sat, his expression litting up in disbelief, his brows curved with his lips parting as yelled out, “What are you saying?!” He shouted his question, not minding the powerful man that
Chapter 123From his folded hands at the back that held a briefcase all this while brought to view the black flat and flexible case. He placed it on Avon’s palm, who directly brought it over his thighs. He clicked it open, bringing out the pictures and giving it to Finn who seemed to understand his unspoken instruction. He went ahead distributing the picture to everyone of them. “That, you’re looking at is what is left of your legacy’s bricks and dusts.” He said to them, in announcement mixed with sarcasm, in case they fail to get what the picture portray. Damon who was still on the ground wailing uncontrollably collected the picture, his palm moved to his face wiping away some liquid off his muddled face before checking the picture out. Seeing the content, the storey buildings that held the companies, all the five branches of Parker’s Industries all collapsed and grind into pieces. How did he manage to do this, yesterday the building was still intact, how then did he pull this
Chapter 124His eyes moved across the room till they landed on Grayson Parker. His gaze narrowed at him, stepping back and away from the dead limbless body of Damon, he went back to where he was seated. After resuming his seated position, he glanced up at Grayson and gaped with cold eyes. “Get up!” He voiced out the command. Grayson from where he sat had no idea where the force that took over his bodily movements came from. He found himself heeding his obligation and standing to his feet.“Come closer.”His feet went into action, moving like his words beckoned, he fought to gain back control but nothing came. He moved through the blood on the floor, across the room and past his brother on the ground, he got to his front standing there like a tottering statue.“Please-““Silent.” The voice shut Grayson’s mouth from pleading like he sorted to do. His lips shivered pressing tightly together contrary to his will. He tried to understand how it is happening to him, how was he doing all
Chapter 125Fear, antsy, were the visceral reaction dominant in for them. They stared with avid vision as the two siblings born by Grayson and his wife, unable to stop them from moving further heeding to the words of the beast sitting across the room facing them with eyes void of an expression.Sarah was still on the floor, now begging for the lives of her children to be spared. Grayson was till there, peeling off his skin with a knife that was matted in his own blood, the clean silver plate stained with his blood. He could only sniff and whimper probably tired from crying that yields nothing of his safety.The stench odor of blood, fervor to the nose wafted from the room covered in blood and the dead body of Damon. The two arrived finally in front of Avon. Eyes red from too much tears they’ve secreted. Looking hepped up from their thought on what Avon called them to do, it hinted on their death so their mind widened on his conception, wondering on how he is about to command their d
Chapter 126Lorraine and her mother switched their outfits into something more casual before jumping in one of the available vehicles and demanding for a drive with the driver to the City’s General Hospital. Some minutes later, the car was pulling over at a spot in the parking lots available at the vicinity. Lorraine opened the door dashing out of the car, she dashed right into the hospital straight to the receptionist. “Faye Hales. She was admitted here, please what is her room number?” She asked the courteously dressed lady, hastiness in her voice, her hands tapping repeatedly on the counter separating her from the nurse. “Let me check.” She responded, her attention diverting straight into the book she has with her. At that moment, Charlotte arrived, standing right beside Lorraine who was waiting to hear the ward number her best person was admitted into. “Ward 128, on the second floor ma’am.” Just as she had informed, Lorraine ran straight to the elevator and not taking the sta
Chapter 127The air felt choking, and so does the aura lingering the atmosphere that surrounded them. Donna breath hitched with fear, her heartbeat galloping to a pace she couldn’t control. “W-wh-what do you mean by that?” She asked, trying to sound firm and a bit less tensed.Avon exhaled out deeply, adjusting his sitting position on the couch. He looked up at her, studying her tensed expression. She held tightly to her husband’s hand, gripping firmly on it. As if letting go would means an affirmation of his death. “Your husband right here helped Grayson in a plan that had my family getting wiped out. Let me explain better-“ “Please. I’m sorry, it was a mistake, I regretted doing it even till now.” Arvin sank to his knees as he began to plead, his hand slipping away from Donna’s hard grip. His head hung low, with tears glistening at the corner of his eyes. “Oh so you remember what you did? Bravo!” Avon said, sounding astonished and almost giving him a loud clap, already clampin
Chapter 128At The Noble Mansion. Kory was alone, she has no idea where everyone is. She was in her room resting and feeling unnecessarily uneasy. She sat up her bed, her feet moving to touch the ground and slipping once into her slippers. She had quite the conversation with Charlotte the other midnight. They had talk over many things that made her went to sleep late, she waited to see if Finn would show up or come back home but nothing. They had a fight she insinuated back at the party and she needs to sort that out with him. She knew Finn was falling for her and that is what she wanted. Not only would he make her plan easier to carry out, but he would be of great help in getting rid of her obstacles. She’s just waking up close to the afternoon, her head banging from sleeping late and from emptying many bottles of champagne. She looked around the bed, stretching her arm to search around, her hand soon slapped on her phone, obtaining the instrument she began operating it.She yaw
Chapter 167 Kory stared with confliction, now that he knows who she is. Was he going to rat her out or is there an agenda to why he kept quiet and gave her a subtle look of knowledge. She approached him with slow cautious steps, “Who are you?” Her head tilted slightly, her eyes squinting obliquely at him. “I’m not the Finn you know, I’m the total opposite.” He responded, bored and typically plained. “Then who are-““It doesn’t matter. What matters is joining hands to achieve our aims. Yours is retrieve the divinity surrounding Avon, while I came to claim his soul. That we should works towards and should matter.” He had cut her off, summing up the base of their plans. “You were going to frame Lorraine for the murder of your body right. I definitely can help with that, I will be the witness and use my abilities to manipulate things into supporting this plan. This would create a rift between them, a dispute you would take advantage of him and approach him to meddle with the conflict
Chapter 165 Avon returned to looking for Charlotte and Kory, hurrying with the search after assuming Charlotte succeeded in throwing Kory out of the house since the shouting died down. He felt a different aura around Finn, but could not afford looking into it as he’s busy with stopping Charlotte. He strolled down the stairs, arriving at the mansion’s frontal exit to see nothing but two of his guards standing there on random lookout. Kory and Charlotte were nowhere to be found. Avon moved closer to the guards, minding to question about Kory. “Have any of you seen Kory or Charlotte?” His voice questioned, immediately gaining their attention. Their head fell low in an instant, “No, General. We took post not too long, we have no idea where they could be.” The one of the left lipped a response. Avon sighed turning around and returning back upstairs. His gut kicked in, telling him something strange is going on. He wasn’t certain, but something just doesn’t feel right. While ascendin
Chapter 164Lorraine stood up from the position she was squatted to. Avon already went after Charlotte like he said. He could hear Kory’s voice shouting meters away and Charlotte trying to shut her up. “You’re not getting away with this, whatever it is that you just did to me. Give me back my body you piece of a useless shit!” She heard Kory’s voice yelling at Charlotte. “Fine bitch.” Charlotte said and that was the end of their shouting. Avon hastened his footsteps rushing to the direction he heard then shouting from only to see they were gone. Still looking around for them his eyes landed on Finn who creeped out from nowhere standing behind him. Avon almost jerked, “Finn.” He called a little weird out by his sudden appearance. “Where were you? How did you? It doesn’t matter, when you did you come back?” Avon took some steps backwards before inquiring. Finn smirked, a dark edgy one that has Avon squinting his gaze at him. “I came in not too long, I was looking for you.” He r
Chapter 164Faye walked in on the strange man rummaging for God knows what in her grandfather’s drawer. “Who are you and what are you looking for?” She asked, announcing her presence with her gaze sizing the man up trying to read his appearance. The man looked up from where he was, becoming aware of Faye’s presence as he brought up his hand that held a gun in it. Corking the object he pointed it straight at her head. “Hands up bitch!” He instructed, his finger tugging close to the trigger. Faye exclaimed with her expression as her lips parted in shock. Molten saliva liquid gulped down her throat as she slowly obliged to the man’s instruction. “You’re not gonna scream and you’re gonna come in further.” He beckoned with the gun, Faye had no choice than to step in further approaching him where he stood. “What is your name beautiful? Perhaps you can lead me to who I’m suppose to kill. I’m here for Charlotte Hales, and Oscar Hales.” Faye kept her ears attentive, arriving at the fron

Chapter 162Avon and Lorraine left the kitchen to go check on Kory to see if she’s packing her things and leaving like they wanted. Arriving at the hallway they met Oscar who had on a forlorn expression and seated on the floor with his back rested on the wall. Lorraine signaled for Avon to go on and check without him while she approached Oscar to ask what was going on with him. His daughter is now fine, she’s very sure of it because it was her husband who healed her and made sure of that. So she wondered in her head on what could have brought him back to expressing quite a wide shade of sadness on his face. Avon didn’t went on like Lorraine had say, instead took a spot and stood there waiting for her.Lorraine got to Oscar as she stooped to his position. “Uncle what’s wrong?” She asked in a tone laced with empathy. Her palm reaching out to soothe his shoulder with some pats. “Nothing is going to happen to Faye again, she’s really fine now. Don’t bother yourself much about her, s
Chapter 161Faye arrived at the Hales’ Villa going straight in search of her uncles. Oblivious to the situation that Royce is admitted and Vance is dead. The house was uncannily empty with counted souls moving around scantily. She went up to Royce’s room, it was empty and he wasn’t inside, the same thing when he arrived at Vance’s room. She wondered where the both went to. Faye came out of Vance’s room going straight to Lennox’s room, he also wasn’t in his room. Seeing no one to question about the solitude of the house, she retreated going back downstairs where she would come across some maids to question about where everyone is. Arriving back downstairs and walking past the lobby that leads to the kitchen, the big door opened with a familiar face coming inside. She was on a wheelchair with a man behind her, the familiar face belonging to Abigail. “Oh hey Faye, what are you doing here?” She asked the moment both gazes landed on each other. It was hazy in Faye’s head, the perple
Continuation from the last episode. “Yeah.” He concurred standing up so both could be on their way to Royce. “But what if he is not the one? What if it is somebody else?” He asked keeping his eyes on his face as both turned around to walk down the passage that leads to their uncle’s room. “Who else could it be? They’ve planned to kill him, and if anything doesn’t lead to his suspicion it was yesterday at the same party when he announced himself as the Dragon General. That speech he gave simply said he is not the one to take things lightly. My father and his uncles came for him so he decide to take them out. That’s just my theory though, we should wait and hear from Uncle Royce what actually happened in that room. I also notice something strange.” Aiden was left curious hearing the last sentence of his words. “What did you notice?” He asked with his brows furrowed. “You know I told the maids not to clean up Dad’s murder scene, it wasn’t to call the cops but it was for me to inspec
Chapter 158Aidan brought down the phone from his ear ending the call with Oscar. He had called to phone him about his father’s death when he made a new discovery. Aidan went back to the room where his brother was, he tapped on his shoulder the moment he got to him calling for his attention. His head was buried in his knees as he sobbed quietly sitting on the chair. Grandfather was laid still on the bed with his eyes concealed under his lashes. “We need to talk.” His said, stretching out a palm for him to grab. “What is it? Look I’m very much okay with myself crying like this, I don’t need your stupid concern or console-““Shut the fuck up and come with me. This is more important than the stupid tears you’re shedding.” Aidan leaned grabbing his wrist anyways and pulling him on to his feet, he dragged the both of them out of the room.He took them to the passage where a bench was available as he sat the both of them down on it.“I really don’t think dad was murdered by an assassin.
