(The Next Day)"Brother, don't come late like you did yesterday," Emily whined as she looked at Eric."Alright, I won't," Eric agreed with a sigh.Yesterday had been kind of hectic. After he left Natalie's place, he took Chloe back to the company and then headed to old man Simon's place.There, the old man had made him tell him all he had done to Denver.Though he told the old man, there were still things he hid, and it was not a surprise that he hid them.After that, he and the old man talked about what was going on in the company, and then still forced him to eat.He had eaten to his fill at Natalie's place, and the old man still forced him to eat even after he tried to explain to him that he had already eaten.After that, he had picked up his sister late, who was then angry that he had picked her up late, so he had to treat her to a meal.There she greedily ordered what she could not finish, and in the end, she had pushed it to his front and asked him to eat it.At first, he wanted
Chloe?" Eric muttered, looking at the call with a frown on his face, wondering why Chloe was calling him at such a time.Usually, anything she had, she would wait until he came to pick up Emily, or she would have already told him right before the start, but now, she was calling him.Also, he had just left the company a few hours ago; she could have just called his attention, but she didn't.Eric frowned, looking at the call, contemplating if he should pick up the call or not as he was feeling sleepy.But since it was rare for Chloe to call him just randomly, he knew that something had happened, so after a while, he decided to pick up the call."Eric, can you come over right now?" Chloe's voice came from the other end of the phone."What's wrong?" Eric asked, his expression changing as a cold aura burst out of him.He could hear Chloe's shivering voice, meaning that she was scared and whatever had happened was huge, which had made her call him."Please... Just come over," Chloe stutter
"Sister, what happened to you?" Eric forced a smile, trying not to sound cold as he looked at Emily, who was lying on the bed in the infirmary with bandages on her arms and legs, signifying they were broken. There were also bruises on her body, indicating she had suffered quite a lot of injuries.Emily had been severely injured to such an extent that there would have been complications had the doctors not arrives on time which was all thanks to Chloe's connection cause she to invite the doctor here, so they treated Emily just in time. But nevertheless, Emily shivered as she felt a cold chill running down her spine.Though her brother was smiling, the look in his eyes was akin to that of a beast about to go crazy after witnessing someone take its cub.The next thing she was going to say was going to determine what Eric's actions would be. It was either he went into a rampage, or he calmed down.Emily wanted to lie, but she couldn't help it as each time she was about to say something,
"So, would you mind telling me what happened?" Eric asked calmly while unwrapping the bandages around Emily's legs."Brother, you're not going to get angry, are you?" Emily asked, looking at Eric who was unwrapping her bandage with a smile."Why should I get angry?" Eric laughed."Jake has already started looking into it, so there's no need for me to worry anymore; he'll take care of it," Eric continued, looking at Emily who was sitting on the sofa while he sat on a stool, her legs on his legs. On the table beside him were needles and a boiling herb he had prepared. Before getting home, Eric stopped at a place and got all these."So you should absolutely tell me, I just want to know, nothing else," Eric continued as he finished unwrapping the bandage on Emily's leg.Emily couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was now relieved knowing that Eric was not annoyed anymore. Seemed like not telling him anything earlier was the best. If she had told him, then she didn't know what he
(At the Police Station)Evelyn paced around, agitated, as she tried repeatedly to call Eric. His phone rang, but no one picked up."Can't you be any faster?" Evelyn growled at the group of people who were tracking both Eric and Denver. They were trying their best but their best doesn't seems to be enough to the irate Evelyn. The group swallowed but didn't say anything... they dare not say anything. At the moment, the Police station was in a mess.Evelyn knew that if she didn't find Denver before Eric found him, then that would be the end. The end of his existence on earth. Also, she would have gone to his house, but she didn't know his house. How did she even allow that to happen?She was amongst the few people who knew how deadly Eric was. Though she didn't really know because he had never killed anyone in front of her.With his knowledge of firearms and the way he acted in the face of danger, she was sure that he was going to be capable of doing what he had said.She didn't want E
In a luxurious room, two figures sat with smiles on their faces, a table of food in front of them, and two bulky men standing by the corner of the room.They were both drinking wine and seemed rather engrossed in what they were doing that they didn't notice the news on the TV."I didn't expect someone to interrupt us when we were about to do just what we had in mind," Denver frowned, downing the glass of wine in his hands."Don't worry, I've taught her not to be nosy next time," the other person, a young handsome man named John, laughed, also gulping down his wine, thinking about how he had broken Emily's legs."If care is not taken, she'll never be able to walk. The Wallace family cannot afford the treatment," he continued with a smirk on his face."That's better," Denver nodded, pouring himself another glass of wine."You said Chloe was the one who stopped you from having your way with that girl, right?" John asked, looking at Denver."Yeah, I don't know how she did it, but she made
"Shut up!" The two bodyguards yelled and rushed towards Eric who had turned his back on them because he considered them too slow. "Die!" The two bodyguards yelled again, bringing out a dagger from their pockets and raising it towards Eric's neck. "I told you, you don't need to be in a rush to die." Eric muttered calmly, turning around and raising his hands catching the wrist of the bodyguard, who was about to stab his neck. "And you, stay in a place, I'll deal with you later." Eric continued, punching out towards the other bodyguard. "Bang!" The bodyguard was sent flying and his body collided with the wall before falling down heavily. The other bodyguard whom Eric held his hands tried to free himself, but he discovered that it was as though it was an iron used to clamp his hands. "Knives are no play things, you shouldn't use them anyhow." Eric continued and then proceeded to pull out the knife from his hands. "What should I do with you?" Eric muttered looking at the guar
John's face twisted in disbelief as Eric's words sank in, his eyes widening in shock. "Y...your sister? That girl is your... yoursister?" he stammered, his voice trembling with uncertainty.Eric's grin widened, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he sauntered over to where John and Denver stood. "Yep, that's right. Surprise, surprise. What were you expecting?" he chuckled, his tone teasing.With a swift movement, Eric grabbed their collars, his grip firm and unyielding as he effortlessly lifted them off the ground, their bodies dangling like marionettes in his hand, it was like they weigh nothing. John's heart raced with fear as Eric's attention turned solely to him, the weight of impending doom settling heavily upon him. "W-what are you going to do?" he managed to choke out, his voice barely above a whisper.Eric's grin morphed into a sinister smirk as he tilted his head, his gaze locking with John's. "Oh, just a little something to teach you a lesson, I'll start with you first," he
