Chapter 48Evening has taken over the sky already and it dark rays blooms over the earth with stars doing it beauty to the sky. And Avon, who was still at the rooftop has covered up most of the pages on the book given to him. Apart from feeling a whole lot different. He could feel the energy within him surge with great power as they radiate its immensity through his system, the rhythmic flow causing random jumps in his breathing with small small coughs falling out as a result. He was very certain that like this, nothing would stop him from bringing justice to his family’s murderer. He felt stronger than ever, felt so powerful. He stood up from his crossed position, the stance of his legs foggy as they’ve been crossed for a long time now. He went to the door balancing his steps and pulling the door open, he went down the stairs and through the hallway that leads to his room. Upon opening the door his wife was standing right in front of him also about to open the door.“Avon? Where
Chapter 49“Go now, start working on tracking her or didn’t you put any tracker on her?” Avon paused waiting for him to answer his question. “I did,” Finn nodded affirmatively while answering his question. “Good now go get her location tracked, and get some armies ready to go attack. I will be down in some minutes. Let me go dress up while you get those done. Go!” Avon instructed as he turned back going back inside. He rushed to his closet fishing out a random shirt and as trouser while Lorraine stood up from the bed asking him questions on what’s happening. “Are you okay? What’s going on? What did he say to you? Why are you suddenly in a hurry?” Lorraine questioned watching her husband fit himself hurriedly in the wears he picked out. “Your sister was just said to have been kidnapped in her new house, I’m going to get her back before it’s too late.” Avon managed to responded in between wearing the cloth. “Oh my gawd, really??? When? How? Is she gonna be okay? I’m going with you
Chapter 50They all came down from the vehicle and so did the other armies that came with them. If counting, they were all ten in numbers. “Are you sure this is where the location brought you to?” Avon asked, staring at the abandoned warehouse in front of him that had a padlock at the closed door joint, unsure that Kory was held captive in the place. “Yes, I’m very sure.” Finn nodded his head, also looking at the house. It doesn’t seem like anybody is kidnapped and kept there, it looks just like an abandoned warehouse that’s indeed abandoned.“Alright, the three of you should take that route and check everywhere out, the three rest of you should take the opposite. Search around and come report to me whatever you find.” Avon turned to the armies that came with him, stating his order to them as they all bowed at once.“Sir, Yes, Sir.” They chorused in unison with their head still bowed, then stood straight and scurried off his presence, they scattered around while some took the left r
Chapter 51The Black Jeep with tinted window glasses drove at a fast pace along the tarred road of EastHill, driving through different lanes and turns that leads to it destination. Avon sat behind the wheel with his two hand on it controlling it direction while also monitoring it movements, while his wife; Lorraine sat beside him on the opposite seat with her head rested on her palm that sat in a space on the door part, and with a droopy expression on her face. The melancholic atmosphere breezed through their faces like a cold feeling, the ongoing silence pushing them deeper into their negative and positive thoughts. Lorraine was filled with worry on whether or not her sister has not been harmed yet and that she’s still safe. Albeit all that transpired between them, she still doesn’t want anything to happen to her. She prayed silently for her to be safe, and she promise herself to be nicer to her, she promise herself to show her the goodness in the world and make her forget about
Chapter 52 And he could feel the bullet pierce his body where the shot must have met. The feeling should have come with its immense pain, but instead nothing came with it, Avon was feeling quite alright as if nothing met him at all.To confirm his suspicions, the goon holding the gun released more bullets at Avon but none did the damage that was expected. Avon was in fact still okay with amounts of shots fired at him. That means his grandmother wasn’t kidding when she said the bracelet given to him holds so much power, and thanks to the book she gave him he was able to master many things including summoning his energy as protection. Avon’s gaze slowly shifted away from the man he has punched to unconsciousness to the goon that held the gun and shot him. Seeing his safety his no longer guaranteed, he threw the gun away on the floor and turned around to run away.He hadn’t run that far when Avon grabbed the rod laying on the floor beside him and threw it straight at him, he aimed for
Chapter 53They have all gotten and the captured goon they took with them was now tied up in the torture room that was occupied by him, Avon, Finn, Faye, Lorraine, and Kory. Avon thought he would be awake when he arrived but he was still out like a feather. “Wake him up Finn.” Avon’s voice boomed his command through the awry silence. Finn who was beside him bowed in acknowledgment to his words before turning around and walking to the bowl filled with water placed on the desk that usually has all the torturing objects. But the desk was vacant and only has the bowl filled with water was on it, there was no weapon or objects of sort on the desk or in the room. Finn brought the bowl and immediately empty the liquid inside on the goon’s face with it rolling down his body and soaking him wet. Met with the cold liquid his eyes snapped open in shivers, roaming around the room in confusion to where he was until his eyes landed on Avon, Kory, and many other unfamiliar faces.His gaze moved
Chapter 54Finn walked through the door with a tray placed on his both palms that contained a wrench, hammer, and a dagger.He stopped when he got to Avon, standing beside him.Avon looked up at the tools he brought, he took the hammer and the dagger off the tray then turn back to face the goon in front of him, who was covered in sweats secreted from apprehension.“Now if I sniff your lie then I will use this hammer to crush the bones that straightened your fingers and then cut them off, one by one.” Avon told him, before placing the tools he took back on the tray. “If you won’t be comfortable with this please get out.” Avon warned, slightly directed to Lorraine who seemed tense already. He doesn’t want her stopping him as he’s about to get brutal. Lorraine took a deep breath from where she stood with her eyes closed, reopening them she was rid of all the pity she could feel towards him. “Make it painful.” Lorraine voiced out in a cold tone, her face turning expressionless with her
Chapter 55Kory’s feet stomped out of the room, marching through the dark hallway and making her way back to the living room before turning towards the kitchen route.She got to the large environment filled with cooking facilities, her eyes scanned round the room till they landed on the object she wanted or was looking for.She walked in further going towards the cabinet and immediately retrieving the sharp object, she held firmly to the well sharpened silver knife with a red colored holder. Hearing numerous footsteps approaching the kitchen where she is a grin stretched on her face before placing the tip of the knife on her stomach.At that moment, Lorraine descended the scene, Avon coming afterwards with Finn, and Faye coming in last with an unbothered expression on her face. “Put the knife down Kory and let’s talk.” Avon said as he took slow steps forward while demonstrating his words. “Don’t come any close or I promise this knife would pierce my stomach.” Kory warned, pressing
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.
