Slade Nyther; Repaying all Malfeasance Chapter 16
CHAPTER 16."Switch off the air conditioner." Slade ordered out of the blue. Candyce had no reason to argue yet. She found the remote control of the AC and switched it off from the spot. "The pool of sweet has to dry naturally. It might look unnecessary, but it's important in the process." Slade added. "Who are you?" Doctor Huggins couldn't hold himself back anymore. At first, he had wanted to admire Slade from distance and not get too close because he was already looking for someone to blame the death of Jendall on if things didn't go well. But after seeing the technique that Slade had just employed in treating the old man, curiosity got the best of him, and he was now a mere shadow of his desires. Slade turned to look at the doctor. He saw the look of utmost awe crawling up the face of the man. He could still remember how this man was glaring at him earlier. He could remember how the man hardly paid any attention to him earlier. What changed now?"You look like someone who didn

Candyce swoon over her father, hugging him with every fiber in her body. She had thought that she had lost him. She had thought that her father had ended up as a specimen of a failed medical procedure. She couldn't believe that he was finally back to life.The flood that poured from her eyes soaked the portion of the cloth of her father where her face was buried in."You healed my father! You truly healed my father!" She suddenly felt remorseful towards Slade.She recalled that she had said a lot of harsh and unfair words to Slade. She wished to redeem herself at this moment. Her emotions got the best of her, and she has returned to her senses."I'm so sorry for all the evil words I said to you. I didn't mean for them to come out that way. I thought you were trying to extort us and pretend to be who you are not. Please forgive me." Although she was apologizing to him, she didn't leave her father yet.She was such a daddy's girl. The way she was holding her father, it would seem as tho

"It will be an honor for me to be of help to my savior. I'll definitely get you whatever you want." Lord Jendall promised.Slade sighed. He was relieved to hear this.The rest of the materials are enough to help him to build a new arm for Mamita. He hadn't for once forgotten to imagine the pain that Mamita must have been through. Also, the stress that came with doing everything with just one arm! It must have been hell for her.And to think that the poor woman ended up like this because of him and his family. Slade really couldn't forgive himself. His heart became bitter again."But there is something that I can not promise." Lord Jendall broke into his thoughts.Slade became concerned as he looked up at the man again."What do you mean?" He asked, curiosity getting the best of him."To get the material for making a prosthetic vessel would not be the problem, but getting the machine that would make the vessel itself is not ---" The old man trailed for a while.All eyes were on Lord J

Lord Jendall was pleased that his daughter has willingly offered to take Slade to the location. Earlier, his daughter didn't get along with Slade. Perhaps this would be a great time for the two to get to know each other, the old man thought.Slade nodded and bent his body forward respectfully to the old man. He turned around and followed Candyce's lead.Doctor Huggins was too grounded to the spot to decide what he ought to do at that moment.When they walked out of the foyer into the large garage of the building, Slade was in awe of the space.There was a fleet of cars. Exotic cars. Slade observed closely and noticed that on the right hand, there were ranges of popular cars like Rolls-Royce, Chevrolet, Pagani, Bugatti, and several other brands. But on the left hand, there were strangely beautiful cars that he had never seen before.At first, he thought that these cars were products of new companies that just started making automobiles. It wouldn't be farfetched to think this way, since he s

Up to this moment, Slade should have gotten used to this new side of Linda, but he was still struggling a little bit. It wasn't as though he was expecting anything from her, but seeing her go from doting on him to yelling and wanting to kill him was just something that he still found very strange. There was no reason for him to stay where he was not welcomed. In fact, staying here would bring out no good in the first place. "Don't be too harsh on him, mother." Vixton turned to Linda as she got to them. Linda's eyes were extremely red with rage. If eyes could kill, Slade would have been buried eight feet deep into the abyss of the earth. Every string or note of caring had disappeared from her eyes. "I understand what his frustration is." Vixton continued. Everyone was a little interested in what he was talking about. Of course, they knew that he didn't like Slade, but what was this he was saying?"He must have been dying to see a day like this. I mean, who wouldn't. Let alone some
Slade Nyther; Repaying all Malfeasance Chapter 21
Slade didn't have any reason to look over his back. The only reason he had to look back once in a while was to keep his eyes on Candyce. She was the treasure of her father's eyes. Also, he wouldn't want these wild chihuahuas to hurt her in any sense. He was smart enough to know that taking responsibility for her safety was very important. After all, they were here because of him. The party was bustling, and things were getting a little more exotic. There were giggles and light chatters flying around. Groups of investors and billionaires were talking about impending projects and recently finalized contracts. Many were for show offs and little for derison. It was quite a culture amongst the affluent folks to trip over other businessmen in order to create a superior image of themselves. It was a thing amongst them to put one person down at the expense of elevating their own character. Slade didn't have any business with any of these. As long as Candyce was very close to him, he could

Marcue froze at that very instant. He couldn't explain what was happening. He just realised that he couldn't move any part of his body. He felt a slight headache, but it didn't last for long. It seemed like the sudden predicament died out in the blink of an eye. The entire waiting area had been in awe of Slade after that roar. They just stood there staring like statues unable to choose their actions. But soon enough, they were all back to their senses. When Marcue regained his consciousness, he saw Slade standing right in front of Candyce, shielding her away from Marcue. Suddenly, the scene started to replay in the mind of Marcue. He recalled that Slade had just yelled at him in the presence of everyone. How dare this lowly pauper!Aside from this, the fact that Slade was now standing in front of Candyce to protect her really pissed Marcue out of his mind. "This little dick!" Marcue lunged at Slade, grabbing him by the collar. He fisted Slade's clothes in his palm, trying to pull

Suddenly, everyone started to move out of the way. Slade still remained standing where he was. There was no reason to be fazed. He sighed in relief. He had always wanted to teach Vixton a lesson, and this was just the beginning. He was ready for whatever would happen from now on. In fact, he can't wait. As everyone moved out of the way, a middle-aged man who had grey beards and highlights on his head walked towards the scene. "It's the chairman. Mr Langley." Someone muttered. Just looking at the face of the man, Slade could tell by the features of the man's face that he was Vixton's father. They not only had identical noses, but the properties of their faces were very much similar. "Father! Father!!!" Vixton called, still on the floor, unable to help himself up. "Does it hurt so bad?" Mr Langley hurried to his son and started to inspect the leg. When he observed it for a few seconds, he could tell that his leg was broken. When he rose up on his feet, his eyes were so red that it

As she walked on, Elise kept brooding over the topic. She didn't know what to believe. She has found herself at an impasse, unable to agree with either her logic or the reality of event. "Could he be the Spectre?" She wondered, her face growing chills. "No. The Spectre is supposed to be a myth. He's not real. He can't be real." She was shaking her head violently. "Then if he's not the Sceptre, and most definitely not my father, who else could be this powerful man living in Pinnacle County?"The more she thought about it, the more confused she was. She was trying to find a common ground for her logic and reality but nothing seemed to be working for her!"Someone who can't only clone himself but can easily vanish when he's at his most vulnerable state. What kind of human is this?!" She shook her head violently. "It can't be. He couldn't have sent two clones. That's impossible." She nodded frantically. "If a mage wants to clone himself, the real person has to be there! Two clones ca
Chapter 183
Elise stood there feeling relieved as she watched Slade fall hard to the group after pulling the sword out. She was much more impressed with herself than she was with what has just happened. A second ago, she was caught in the claws of her trauma, and then another second later, she was driving a sword into the chest of Slade. She couldn't tell for real how she was able to bury her fears so quickly, switching it with the hunger to see this guy dead! Perhaps her will to cause havoc was stronger than the fog of fear that encircled her earlier. "I warned you before all of this started but you decided not to listen." Elise said, standing over Slade. "How could you be so obstinate? Did you think that you could fool me with making a clone of yourself?" She sounded quite offended. There was no trace of emphaty towards Slade on her face. It felt like she was enjoying and savoring every second of this moment. "Do you know what was more foolish?" She pushed the tip of her heel into the sid

When Elise heard this, her eyes turned red instantly. "What!!!" She exclaimed. What the hell did this fraud just call her?Slade kept track of all the changes that took place in the eyes and face of the lady. He has a mission, too. He didn't want to spend all the day here having a word battle with some strange girl. Just like he always did, he wanted to push her to very edge of her rage and watch her use all her strength to take him down!"Why do you look so offended?" Slade laughed softly. "Did I lie?" He added. "How can a pretty lady like you be the dog of Vixton? Did he send you here to kill me just like the assassin he sent earlier?" Slade pushed further. Slade had thought about it for a moment. When the lady first approached him, he was forced to think that it might be the lady from the forest, the dragon. But then he recalled that he hasn't released her from her dragon form yet. So, there was no way in hell where she would have escaped the Heaven Coast Forest and come here.
Chapter 181
It's been a day after she left the forest. Elise has done everything she could do locate this fake Lord Jaguar, but she wasn't able to. She has even tried to make Ceballos tell her, but Ceballos was extremely scared to utter a word about the man. Elise believed that the fake Lord Jaguar must has bewitched Ceballos and co. She decided that all the responsibility rest on her right now. She needed to find a way around this. Up to this moment, she has been able to find some fact about the fake Lord Jaguar. She has come to discover that the fraud used to be the heir of a powerful company but was sent to prison for what he didn't do. Perhaps because he was trying to seek judgement for those who hurt his family, he decided to lie that he had met an old man in prison. Even though if he wanted to save his family's legacy, should he do so by lying about her grandfather and pretending to be who he's not?Elise was very furious as she came to a stop. She was in front of a convenience store. S

"It's okay if you don't want us to be together for now. I understand totally. You don't have to force yourself or go against your beliefs." She placed her left palm on his cheek. "See, I'm not mad at you, not at all. Like I said, I understood why my father didn't remarry. That was why I said let's take a break. It's not like we are breaking up for good." She assured. "By the time you're done with everything that you have to do, I'll still be here waiting for you, even if it takes four decades or a century." She added, water forming in her eyes again. She suddenly laughed. "I was joking when I said a century. You better not take it serious." She scolded. Slade smiled, falling deeper and deeper in love with her. He could never have thought that this lady in front of him was the eighteen years old suicidal girl he had saved from a lagoon several months ago. He felt very bad for having lowly thoughts about her. He felt extremely remorseful that he used to think that she was a burden
Chapter 179
Slade and Candyce were having a hearty laugh as they stood in the midst of the fluffy flowers that bent to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. When they had taken a flight, Slade had brought them to this location. It is an open garden of beautiful flowers. Each flower was about half the height of an average human. The both of them seemed to have something in common as the laugh continued for another few seconds. After this, Slade stopped laughing but Candyce wanted to carry it on for a while. Soon enough, the both of them found a common ground and the laugh died out. When it died out, each of them was looking in an opposite direction. Turning their back to each other. Slade could enjoy the beautiful view of this geographic area. It was one of the places that he hasn't really paid attention to. This would be a perfect location for him to come to whenever he was in need of solitude. He could even bring himself up to per with his skills if he were to practice here. "She told me everyt

Candyce was still struggling to regulate her breathing pace. What had happened outside the restaurant earlier took a toll on her mental health. She wasn't the type to get into a fight with people no matter how subtle. She was trying to fan herself with the back of her hands even though the restaurant was chilly with the aid of air conditioners. "It was my fault. I planned to make today a great day, but then I ruined it." Slade apologized, taking responsibility for what had just happened. "It's your fault, truly." Candyce admitted, trying to catch her breath. Slade wasn't surprised by her remark. Where was the lie? Of course everything that happened outside the restaurant was all because of him. In fact, only few privileged people in Pinnacle County knew who Candyce was. They didn't know her in person. So, there was no chance in the universe where someone would have been able to recognise her here! This again bulged down to the fact that if it wasn't for Slade, this wouldn't have

Slade got the door of the car for Candyce and she stepped out. When she stepped out of the car and looked at Slade, she chuckled, blushing. Slade smiled. They both walked hand-in-hands in the direction of the eight-star restaurant. They were both exchanging gazes as they approached the door of the restaurant.Suddenly, someone walked into their path. Candyce was the first to lift her gaze. When she saw the person standing in their way, her eyes squinted. "You..." She tripped off, unable to recall the name of the person. Hearing what Candyce had said, Slade quickly looked up to see who it was. "Mariana?" Slade didn't know when he mentioned her name out loud. The first question should be what was she doing here, but Slade didn't care. Why should he worry about her whereabouts? They both have no reasons to be responsible to each other. "Let's go in." Slade decided to ignore Mariana. He pulled Candyce to the side a little bit to create enough space for himself and her in order to w

"I have to go now." Slade suddenly changed the topic.He really did care about the look on the face of the dragon. The story of the life of her specie was something that brings her to a swamp of sadness, burying her deeply into the mire. She was immersed in that moment. "What about him?" The dragon asked, putting down the man on her back with her tail. "Keep him with you for a while. I want him to be in a deep sleep for a while. When I return, I might choose to restore him and then listen to what he has to say." Slade explained. "Why can't you listen to what he has to say right now? Why can't you wake him up right now?" She asked. "I have a date to attend. It's long overdue. I cannot put it aside anymore." Slade brushed off the topic. After this, he turned around and started to walk away. "Are you going to ask me what I told her before you got to me?" The dragon called.Slade stopped in his tracks for a moment. "It doesn't matter. I'll just admit to everything myself." He nodd
