Anger swept over Slade like a violent storm!
But even in this utmost rage, the first thing that came to mind was helping Mamita from the ground. She looked helpless and extremely weak on the ground.
He slowly lifted her up until he was certain that her feet were stable. He helped her to the back, a distance from the construction workers.He placed both of his palms gently on her shoulders.
"Please stay here. Those pigs would wish they were never born." Slade promised, bloodlust and rage struggling in his eyes. When Mamita saw his eyes, she felt chills all over her body. Who was this grown man standing in front of her? Was he really the same Slade that she fed and nursed? She could only but move her head as Slade instructed. Even if she wanted to argue, she couldn't find her voice.There was a mark of the leader's hand printed on her face. There was pain all over her neck, too.
Even while she was in pain, she couldn't help but worry about Slade's safety. Slade turned around from her and started to walk towards the group of men. The men were laughing as they mocked and cursed relentlessly at the nanny. When they saw Slade coming, the laugh started to die out. The bold walk of Slade, his dead eyes, imposing figure, and very deadly aura oozing from his body left all the men clueless. It was hard to tell if this was still the man they had all yelled at earlier. Suddenly, the leader of the construction workers moved closer to Slade. He stopped. The aura of Slade was too intimidating for him to come any closer. The leader had no idea that this constraint he was feeling inside was because of Slade's aura, so he couldn't tell the difference and keep his distance away. "Hold on. I was right!!!" The leader suddenly exclaimed. "You're the boy who went to prison three years ago!" He cackled."How do you know me?" Slade asked, his eyes widening.
The leader didn’t answer but instead burst into laughter.
As soon as the leader made this comment, the rest of the workers started chattering.
Slade could hear all sorts of demeaning comments made against him, but he didn't mind.
There was no point explaining anything to these fools. Even if he told them the truth, they would believe what they already believed.
"The crazy bastard who killed an innocent man has returned." The leader yelled. "Who else deserves to die more than you? I'll be doing you a great favor by killing you. Your life is already miserable." Slade didn't think he would be able to take these insults any longer. Although these are mere words that held no threat, yet he just wanted to be done with these fools.His nanny was not in a good state. He could tell that she must be going through hell with the neck pain.
The leader of the group suddenly pressed one of his fingers to his lips, a gesture of deep-thinking. "I had a change of mind. Instead of killing you, wouldn't it be better to make you witness a nerve-wracking scene?" The man laughed, his yellow teeth boofing. Slade took a step closer. There was urgency in his face. "What the hell are you talking about?" Slade demanded, running his eyes all over the face of the man. "Oh, right. How can you know? You were just released. You wouldn't know what is happening in Pinnancle County. Let alone the biggest news in all of the country today!" The leader scoffed. "Speak in plain words!" Slade ordered. He was already losing his patience. The leader was stunned by how bold Slade was, but since he had something mean to say to Slade, he quickly pushed the gloomy feeling aside. While Slade was waiting, he saw one of the construction workers whispering something into the ears of the leader. The leader pushed the man away and laughed. "So what if he didn't kill the innocent man? So what if he went to prison for his girlfriend? What matters is that the girl he went to prison for is getting married today!" The leader cackled. Slade almost lost his bearing at first. What did this man just say? Was he saying the truth, or was he trying to aggravate him? Suddenly, Mamita broke out in tears again. Slade turned around to see what was happening to her. When he saw the way she was crying, he intelligently deduced the meaning. So it seemed the leader was not bluffing. Was his ex-girlfriend really getting married to someone else today? How worst can today get for Slade? From getting out of prison hoping for freedom, to mistaking his nanny for his granny, then to finding out about what happened to his family, then to this, and finally, his ex-girlfriend?Why? Why is this happening? Didn’t she promise him…
No, it's not the time to think about this.
Slade shook the thoughts off. Mamita was shocked. She thought that after Slade found out about the engagement of her ex that he would break down and cry like a baby. She knew how much he loved his ex.
Instead, Slade's eyes darkened, turning into coal as he turned back to the men. "You had better start running to the Paxton house right now before you miss the show. I'm sure that you can never ever witness anything as opulent and extravagant as the wedding happening today. Do you even know whom she's getting married to? Vixton Langley! The mighty Vixton Langley from the Langley family!!!" The Langley family.The family that sent these men to come and destroy his family house, is the same family his ex-girlfriend is marrying in to?
Doesn't she know about what this family's henchmen had done to his family?
Didn't she promise to protect his family?
Is this what he gets after going to prison for her?
Slade didn't want to dwell on these feelings for now. His hand twitched, and he fisted his palm.He took two bold steps forward, and right now, he was towering over the leader of the construction workers.
"Apologize to her right now, and I'll spare your life." Slade said coldly as he stared death into the eyes of the leader. The murderous intent was rising deep inside of Slade, and his jaws tightened so hard. "Spare my life? Did you just say spare my life?" The eyes of the leader had turned red as he yelled. He felt extremely insulted by what Slade had just said. How dare this miserable and helpless cunt dare to say such blasphemy!He wielded a punch in that very instance and threw it towards Slade's face, with an intention to crack Slade's jaws and make his teeth fall all over the place.
But with just a palm, Slade stopped the punch, gripped the fist, twisted the arm anticlockwise about 45 degrees, and then added a little pressure.Crack!
The connecting bone of the elbow broke in the leader's arm, and he started to cry like a baby.
Slade almost ripped the arm off but didn't for some reason.
"Kill him! Kill that bastard! Reduce him to a pulp!!!" The leader screamed with every strength left he's got. In the blink of an eye, all the construction workers swarmed at Slade like ants. Without breaking a sweat, Slade caught all the fists thrown at him. He had no trouble using the fists of the men against each other until teeth were all over the ground. He had someone's leg in his arm and was about to break the knee off, popping the bones out when he heard a scream. "Slade!!!"It was Mamita!
A loud noise followed the scream.
A bulldozer was driving recklessly towards them.
And Mamita was directly in front of the bulldozer!
Slade's eyes gained a strange strength as he realised what was about to happen. He couldn't just stand there and watch his nanny be crushed to death by the gigantic tyres of this mighty bulldozer.There was no one in the bulldozer. It must be that the driver had gotten out too hastily and hadn’t set the brake properly, causing it to move on its own.He was a couple of distances away from her and didn't want to risk the timing. There was a big stone just right next to his left foot.He quickly picked it up without any stress. The stone should weigh at least 40 pounds. It looked like one of the parts of the house that had popped out during the fire.Without having a second thought, he threw the stone towards one of the front tyres of the bulldozers. The precision was topnotch, and it balanced right when the tyre was about to be steered in the other direction.A big roar was heard, and the engine of the bulldozer came to a stop. The force was sudden and had probably damaged something in
Slade stomped his left leg on the ground, and off he went. There was no point digging deep into the assumptions while he stood there. The first necessity was saving the girl from drowning. As soon as his body made contact with the river after the dive, his head went gliding through the surface for a few seconds before he submerged his whole body into the water. Barely had he spent a minute in the water when he his head popped out of the water, a shawl of flood pouring from both sides of his head. Clutched to his chest was the girl who was barely breathing. With the girl in his arms, he climbed out of the water and slowly placed her body on the ground, supporting her back with his sturdy arm. The girl had swallowed a lot of water, and her lush blonde hair had turned into rolls of ropes. She was unconscious. Her face was pale, looming at the near-death omen. Her lips were blue, and she already looked like life was just a puff away, about to be blown off. "Let's take her to the
"What do you mean by this?" Slade's face held a very strong note of seriousness. His facial expression was so stiff that the man was beginning to question his own decision. The man cleared his throat and withdrew his hand for a second. He held a bolder stance and took a step closer to Slade and Mamita. "I don't want you to be offended by this. But in all truthfulness, I won't be happy if you don't take this token of gratitude from me. You have done a very great thing by saving my daughter. Please allow me to show my gratitude with this little token." The man was very intentional about his decision. Slade didn't say a word yet about it. He inspected the clothes of the man for the first time. He realised that the design of the overall winter coat looked very simple, but the intricate carving in the hems and collars was quite unique. Like a limited-edition casual wear. Also, judging by the manner at which the man was talking and the way he would carry himself, it was now obvious to S
There was an unusual silence between Slade and Mamita as they walked away from the scene. "Why didn't you accept the money?" Mamita finally asked. She had wanted to ask the question earlier, but she didn't want to do it in the presence of a stranger. She had respected his decision in public, but she wanted to understand why he had chosen not to take the money. It was a handsome amount that anyone would have taken at the first thought. Slade took a gaze at her. He understood her concerns. If she had not asked the question, he would have thought that something was wrong. A part of him already knew that the question was unavoidable. "While I was in prison, I learned a lot. Someone told me that helping someone shouldn't be centered on the premise of rewards. That if getting rewarded was why a help was rendered, then it was not necessary in the first place." Slade explained. "Money might end up being a harbinger of disaster. That was why." Slade came to a stop. He watched as Ma
The tone of the voice was hoarse. Just hearing the voice alone, Slade could deduce that the owner of the voice was not trying to have a conversation with him. The tone was as judgemental as it could get.Slade slowly turned around to see a tough looking man dressed in a neat pair of suits. In his left hand was a baton, and strapped to his waist was a walkie-talkie.The man looked at Slade from head to toe. Slade was still dressed in the clothes he wore out of prison. He looked rather too simple and very closely tattered."I'm sure you missed your way. Let me help you find it." The security man said to Slade, walking towards him to grab him.Slade quickly held out one of his hands to stop the man. The man stopped with no clue. It was a sudden decision that was relatively harmless. He just wanted Slade to leave. With the way Slade was dressed, it was obvious that he was not fit for this occasion. The only interest the security man had in Slade was to throw him out."I'm where I should b
Three years ago, Mrs Paxton used to treat him like her own son.She would go to the extreme of preparing some traditional decoction for him if he had the slightest fever or cold.Is this her true nature? How could she be so cruel to him? Does this mean that she is also in support of the wedding?"Come to your senses, Pauper! Do you really think that my only daughter will marry an ex-convict?! Wake up, or do you want Matthew to slap you back into reality?! Do you want to ruin the life of my beautiful daughter? "Mrs. Paxton had lost all the remaining cool she was keeping."Linda! Linda!" A masculine voice was heard.Everyone looked to see a middle-aged man dressed in a pair of Thompson suits and shiny shoes. He looked very well tailored and classy. Mr Paxton."I've been looking for you. Where did you go? The groom is being presented. The bride, our lovely daughter, will be presented soon. You should be in the church." Mr Paxton said before he looked.When he saw Slade, he recognized Sl
Although time passed by quickly after he left the girl and the old man by the river, he didn't think he would see her so soon.The lady now looked a lot better, happier. Slade could sigh in relief. But when he realised where she was, he couldn't help but wonder again. Does she perhaps live here? Because she didn't look (dress) like someone who was here for the wedding."Good day, miss." Matthew's face turned warm when he saw the beautiful lady. There was a fat smile on his face.When the lady looked up and saw Slade, she was surprised. She recognized him instantly."This fool here has come to cause trouble," Matthew explained to the lady. "You're just in time; this thief might have stolen or copied your father's ring. We're about to take him to the police station."Father! The Paxtons were stunned as they looked at the girl in front of them.She's the only daughter of Jendall Kurtis. The heiress of the Kurtis mighty family!Although Candyce was the only daughter of her father, she was
Slade felt a blow to his chest at this instant. When he walked in on Mariana and she had turned to look at him, he had thought that she would feel remorseful at least, but looking at the way the things were going... Was she calling security on him? Really? Was she not even taken aback to see him? Couldn't she at least pretend that she cared that he just got out of prison?He realised that if he let her continue to scream on top of her voice, something else might happen, and he might not end up sorting out his bothers and worries.He shut his eyes for a moment and took charge of the atmosphere in the room. Concentrating helped him control everything that was around him. With the manipulation of the energy frequencies, he was easily able to break into the mind of Mariana.Doing this, he could suppress the mind of Mariana and make her lose her thinking ability for a moment.What he was doing right now was similar to what he did to Candyce when she had fallen into the river. With the aura
Slade landed dramatically at the shore of the lagoon at the end of the Heaven Coast Forest. He looked towards the forest as his eyes squinted. His Vyion Eye was still active so he wouldn't have a tough time finding the lady. The classified vision highlighted the path that led in the direction of the lady. Soon enough, he found himself walking down a narrow path that led towards a fountain. He could hear the body of water crashing ruthlessly against the rock. When he approached the fountain, he found the lady standing butt-naked, her back was positioned towards his direction. She was dripping. It seemed like she had just finished having a bath. She was whistling, and her voice was melodious and very enchanting. The harmony of her whistles provoked goosebumps and made head swell to the intricacies of the unknown witchery. Suddenly, she stopped whistling. She felt a presence behind her and turned around to look at the person. When she turned around, there were two large cats standi
Slade could swear with everything that he held dearly that he didn't open the door. The truth was that, he had tried to do what the old man had instructed him to do, yet he didn't get the door to open. Instead, he had continously been thrown away from the door whenever he made an attempt to open the door. Right now, when he pushed the door open slightly, he realized that the door was open. "Did I open the door? Really?" He started to doubt his own sanity. "When I tried to open the door with the scar, I was thrown away. How can I open the door when I was thrown away? Getting thrown away, doesn't that mean that something is wrong?""But then, could getting thrown away be the side effect of successfully opening the door?" Slade tried to understand the most logical possibility of event here. It didn't make any actual sense. "If that's the case, then why did I get thrown away each time I tried to open the door? Did the door open three times or more?"Slade realised that if he remained
The lady was lying on the ground, between the cluster of shrubs as she panted heavily. She was stark naked and covered in sweat. Her hair was disheveled and some part of her body was smeared with dust and green. She sighed continously. A wave of peaceful air flowed all about her, giving her this comforting feeling that she had never felt in a long time. The lips of her honeypot was coated with her juice and her legs were trembling. She heard the footsteps receding from her and tried to sit up. Sitting up, she saw the monster man who had just destroyed her warmth. He had finished ramming her as though he was a tractor plowing through a tough forest. Yet he was walking away strongly as though he had just taken a nap. "What kind of a man is this?" She muttered to herself, as her rage turned into admiration. Then her face changed again. "Hey! Where are you going?" She called when a sudden realisation hit her. If he is headed in the direction of the Lotus lagoon, doesn't it mean tha
Slade knew that the last thing he wanted to do in this moment is to get distracted. He couldn't afford it. But staring at this gorgeous lady standing in front of him, he couldn't help but let his jaws drop all over the floor. He didn't even know what to believe in a situation like this. Was she really a lady or a creature! For all he knew, she might be something else disgusing as a lady. Even at that, Slade didn't think it would be so easy for him to disregard the fact that her choice of character was out of this world. Candyce was indeed beautiful and gorgeous. But the likes of these lady standing in front of him, would make Candyce jealous if they were in the same room. "I must admit it. You're quite beautiful." Slade didn't know when those words flew out of his mouth. The manner at which he was acting right now, one would think that perhaps he had lost his mind. Some might think that he was under a spell and was being bewitched by the lady. But Slade could tell that much that
"Don't you think it's stupid to come here all alone?" A sudden feminine voice said behind Slade. Slade stopped in his tracks. A mile ahead of him was the Lotus lagoon that leads to the island where Niel Rim-Adon had told him to go. Slade had been told by the old man that something huge await him there. Ever since Slade arrived at this forest, he has not been attacked by any creature. Save for the two nuisance who came driving to their death, which had distracted him, there was no other difficulty. Slade was closer to his destination. He could get this done quickly and return to his daily life of vengeance. He has only been able to pull one revenge off. There are still five more families to go! Also, he still has to reclaim the lost company of his family which was stolen by the six families. And he wanted to do so the way the six families had stolen it. He stopped thinking about other things that do not contribute to his situation at the moment. He turned around to look behind hi
The leader of the henchmen realised that he was flowing in the sky, yet he didn't know how that has come to be. A second ago, there was a stray young man standing in front of his car. He had tried to run the guy over when all of a sudden, he felt something hit his car. If he was driving through the forest, he would have thought that he had hit a huge tree in his way. But he was driving on a plain and tarred road that divided the forests. He didn't know what to do or think in a situation like this. "Ahhhhh!!!" He let out a piercing scream as the car started descending.The speed of its descent was very much quicker than when it was going into the air. The force was swift and very impounding. Crash!!! The car dove face down into the tarred road with its bonnet. The windscreen shattered, and the shards of glasses flew towards the face of the leader, spraying into the eyes of the fellow. "My eyes. Blood!!" He screamed as he felt the shards sticking into his eyes. He could feel pain
"Tell me Tyq. What brought you to my villa? Curiosity or chance?""I did." A feminine voice called from behind the henchmen. Candyce and Mamita walked into the scene. Candyce was leading the way. "Baby." Lord JK said as soon as he saw his daughter. When Tyq heard Lord JK calling Candyce "baby", he was almost horrified. The only thing he could think of was Candyce being the wife of Lord JK. He had a conflict in his mind which he was struggling with in that moment, but he couldn't really tell if it was the best thing to get occupied with or focus on the present matter at hand. "When did you return?" Lord JK added as Candyce walked to him and hugged him. "Not long ago. We saw him lying on the street and decided to bring him home." Candyce answered, now standing next to her father. Tyq bounced back into reality in that moment. It wasn't the game of guesses anymore. This matter was getting very real and legit. He couldn't continue to disbelief for long. Not even if he wanted to. "Y
The lad didn't stop for a moment as he kept on running after he had pushed the door open. He ran in the wrong hallway and kept on increasing his speed as though his whole life depended on it. Well, for a fact, that was the idea. He felt like his whole life was dwindling in his eyes. He got to the end of the hallway and found that there was nothing in his way but a tall and thick wall. There was no way he was going to break through the wall and smash it into pieces. "What the hell! Why is there no door at the end of this hallway?" He was really confused and worried. He knew for a fact that there was no going back in the direction he had come from. There was a reason he had ran away from that room. What if he was right? What if this people were tricking him to believe that they wouldn't end up harming him? What if they were only looking for a way to make terrible things happen to him but are disguising it as though it was something rather special. "Where is he? Where did he go?" De
Stephen was pacing the foyer to and fro. His head was hot and aching! He was in distress. His entire body was almost in a lock down. At this point, it felt like a part of his body had shut down. Suddenly, he felt an adrenaline surge course through his body. He walked directly to the table and kicked it. The glass table shattered into shards. He walked to another corner of the foyer and broke a few other things. He smashed the TV and continued to cause a havoc until he came to a pause. No matter how much damages he was causing, he realised that his rage didn't subside. It only felt like he was causing himself some financial mischief. Of which he didn't really care about. When he came to a pause, a new idea popped up in his mind. The idea was strange but fresh. His eyes lit up. It would seem like the common phrase that fly around people's lips, 'There's a light at the end of the tunnel'This new thought that he had seemed like the light he has been waiting for at the end of this lon
