Slade Nyther; Repaying all Malfeasance Chapter 25
Hushed whispers started flying around. The name that Chairman Langley had just mentioned was not just a name that could be spoken so lightly. It was a significantly powerful name that made men wet their pants at the sound of it. So many of the clinetele wished they could escape right at this moment even though they weren't the one in the scope. They just didn't want to be in the vicinity where the name of Ceballos was being mentioned. Anyone could bear the name Ceballos, but Velasco Ceballos? No one dared to answer that name in public except just one man! His notorious feat precedes his name!Ceballos was not only just violent; he's extremely sadistic. He has allowed himself to be engulfed in taking pleasure in both psychology torture and physical brutality. There is a rumor that he has an underground torture chamber in an abandoned monastery, where his victims were subjected to nightmarish punishment. His signature punishment was disemboding his victims slowly over days as he used a

When Candyce felt his towering presence in front of her, she started shuddering, biting her lips and picking her fingers. She was too scared to lift her head and look him in the eyes. She has always heard about Ceballos but had never met him in person. Meeting him in person was much more than she was prepared for. His presence was very much befitting of the name he had made. Slade realised what was happening right now. He noticed that Candyce was about to collapse in the presence of this Ceballos. He walked forward and stood next to Candyce. He placed his arm around her shoulders and squeezed one of her shoulders. Candyce instinctively looked at Slade. She saw how cold and unbothered Slade looked. Not in the slightest way did he look like someone who was under pressure. "Step to the back. I will handle this matter." Slade said to her in a deep voice. Candyce swallowed at first as she stared at him in awe. She didn't know what he was up to. But just hearing him speak and judging by

Ceballos had said this so casually as though cutting someone's arm off was like throwing a can in the garbage truck. The axe that he had tossed at Slade hit Slade in the chest and dropped on the floor. The force at which the head of the axe hit Slade in the chest would have made any man stagger to the back before gaining a strong stance again. But Slade remained undaunted where he was. His eyes didn't even squint in pain at the contact. He just kept staring at Ceballos, who had given such an instruction. Ceballos believed that Slade would not dare to refute his orders. If Slade was in his right mind, he would amputate his arm right in that moment and do as told. That's exactly what was expected of him. Nobody in his right mind in that room would ever dare to ignore the command of Ceballos. Slade slowly looked away from Ceballos to the axe, which was lying at his feet. He bent down slowly and picked it up. Everyone was anticipating what would happen. Would Slade really cut off his
Slade Nyther; Repaying all Malfeasance Chapter 28
Ceballos remained grounded in that spot for another few moments. It would seem as though he had just seen a ghost break-dancing. Even though he was a tough man, yet his eyes couldn't help but almost popped out of the sockets. The guests were way too stupefied to make a comment at this point. They had all just seen what Slade had done. No one within a humane capacity would have been able to pull what Slade had just pulled off. This young man who is known as a troublemaker. Who is he? Was he not making mouth earlier? Was he really strong enough to make Ceballos cower in his presence?Everyone was left in total shock and cluelessness. Slade slowly turned around to look at Ceballos. Ceballos was still staring like a lost sheep. This tattoo! This tattoo on the neck of Slade! It was no ordinary tattoo. It was a very distinct mark of initiation that could never be carried by just any common man! In fact, this tattoo is linked to the most powerful underground stealth ghost, Niel Rim-Adon

The waiting area soon became relatively empty as the guests vacated the premises. It felt like a sort of simulation to the Langley and Paxton family. This can not be happening. Especially not on a great and beautiful day like this. The Langley family was all gathered in one corner of the area. The Paxton family quickly joined them, too. They didn't want to be the only one standing by themselves. Some relatives of the Paxton and Langley family had fled with the guests, too. The thugs of Ceballos didn't look like they were there to play. Just a word from Ceballos and they would pounce on the people.Chairman Langley was very displeased, but there was nothing he could do. He was not a fool. He could tell right now that things have changed against his favor. Although he had called Ceballos, Ceballos was no longer taking orders from him. The other members of the family were equally displeased. But since the patricach of the family could not do anything about the situation, who were they

Slade remained clueless as he stood there staring at Ceballos and his men.Why was Ceballos bowing, didn't him and his men clear the room to beat him to stupor?"What is this?" Slade asked eventually, after doing all the questioning in his head but never got an answer. Ceballos lifted his body slowly to look at Slade, but he didn't directly look into his eyes at first. Slade noticed this.The Ceballos who was looking down on him earlier. Who was staring down at him as though he was a piece of junkyard, was now reluctant to look him in the eyes? What a peculiar twist. "Forgive me and my men for being so rude to you. We must have lost our minds for a moment." Ceballos continued, now building the courage to at least arch his face to hold up the frame of Slade. "We didn't know who you were until now. If you do not spare us, we absolutely deserve your fierce judgement." He added, bowing his head to the floor again. Slade hated what was happening right now. He didn't hate the fact that

Jendall Kurtis's Villa.Candayce was pacing to and fro, from one corner of the room to the other. She was restless, unwilling to sit even though she had been told for the hundredth time. Jendall's eyes followed her as she moved back and forth. He was sitting in a reclining car, an aid for his old back. There were a couple of men behind him. All of a sudden, Candyce stopped pacing and started walking to her father. "You should sit." Her father urged, signaling at one of the many couches in sight. "I'm worried. Something bad might have happened to him. I don't know what this feeling is." Candyce's eyes were wild as she stake the claim. There was a shade of horror idling in the corner of her face. "Didn't you say that you watched him take care of some men all by himself? I think he should be able to protect himself. I have faith in him." Lord Jendall acclaimed, looking quite confident. "That was against the bodyguards of the Langley family!!! I'm talking about Ceballos himself! Ceb
Slade Nyther; Repaying all Malfeasance Chapter 32
Slade's eyes returned to normal, and Lord Jendall could not see the abrupt metamorphosis. Staring at the building from the standpoint, Slade couldn't help but stare in awe of the beauty of the villa. He had walked this lane for almost an hour, but he had never seen a villa as grandiose and exhuastively stylish as this. Standing in front of this villa made him discover that there was a mountain backdrop highlighting the aesthetics of the estate. The view was immaculate. "Let's just not stand here. Let's see if it's to your fittings." Lord Jendall insisted and led him towards the villa. The greenery of the lawn, and clearness of the pool were just too ethereal to be real. When Slade got to the doorstep, there was a whirring sound that come from the center of the door. It was a robotic activity that pushed out what looked like a camera from the middle of the door. "Since nobody has ever lived here, and you are the new owner, you have to register your face and finger prints in case

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
