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.

    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!

    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.

He had always thought that Katrina was well respected and revered by Jon. If Jon had spoken on the phone like this, does it mean that he had done the same earlier, or some time before?"You should not call someone over and over again as though they owe you! I'm only trying to help you, don't make it difficult for the both of us." Jon kept on going as though he had been looking for an outlet to vent. "Don't call me again unless I call you. If you do, I'll make sure to restrain all your access to every services of mine that were exclusive to you." He warned sternly. "I'm hanging the call right now." He added. "Jon." Slade said point in time that Jon was about to hang the call in the fit of rage. "Divine doctor?!" Jon exclaimed at once. Everyone in the building were shocked by this. They were shocked by the fact that Jon Waterz, the mighty controller of

    Both Manuel and Katrina were startled when they came to find Slade seated in the safe house. It was rather too strange to believe. "Who the hell are you?" Manuel quickly stepped forward, making sure to shield Katrina from any potential attack. "If I wanted to kill the both of you, I'd had done it on your way here. In the blink of an eye, too." Slade replied, looking at Manuel who thought he was looking quite scary. "Answer me, you bastard! Who the fuck are you!!!" Manuel yelled, walking towards Slade. "How the hell did you get in here?" Manuel was now standing in front of Slade. Manuel didn't seem to have any sense of self-awareness or protection. He seemed to be more driven by his rage and emotions. Right now, the only thing he could think of was making this strange man beg him for his life. "I'll be on my way, then." Slade suddenly got up on his feet. It would seem as though Manuel hadn't been on the top of his voice yelling questions. Of course Slade could hear all the quest

    "Katrina?" Slade asked, trying to fetch the information that would complement what Lord JK had just said to him. "The president and leader of the Nyther-Rim Group." Lord JK added. "Oh. That bitch!" Slade exclaimed, his brows furrowing. When he called Katrina a bitch, the old woman quickly looked at him. Slade smiled at her, nodding. He wasn't sure whether or not the woman understood what that meant. He thought that an old woman like that wouldn't know much about curse words. "Did she call you personally?" Slade asked, reviewing the possibilities of this. "She dare not. She wouldn't even conceive the thought let alone try to act it out." Lord JK'S voice was firm and serious as he said this. He sounded quite offended, but Slade knew that the old man could not possibly be offended at him. Also, he knew that Lord JK hated every board member of the Nyther-Rim Group. Of course the old man knew the story of his family!"Then how were you able to decide that she was one who called?" Sla

    "Mr Jon." Katrina said as she answered the call. She put the call on speaker. Manuel was surprised that she would do that. He had no idea what the motivation behind this was. "I've been trying to reach the number of the immortal doctor, but I just couldn't." Jon Waterz replied with a tone of resignation. "I'm sure you know how difficult it is to talk to Lord JK. I tried talking to him but he didn't seem to be on the same page. His response was not optimistic." Jon explained further. "I believe that he has the same fears as us. He doesn't want to offend the immortal doctor." Jon added finally. Katrina was silent for a second. Who was this strange doctor that even the mighty Lord JK was scared of bothering? She couldn't wait to meet him. Not only for the purpose of being healed but for other reasons which she was yet to decide. "Is there nothing else we could do?" Manuel slipped into the conversation. He realised that Katrina seemed to have drifted from the conversation into anot

    After those last words of Ivana, she was out of sight. She disappeared and the trace of her could never be found again. Katrina looked to the side and saw a bird flying away. Her gaze lingered on the bird for a moment. There were a lot of things running around in her head. Things that weren't easy to come to terms with. Every little doubts that she had earlier about this strange lady had finally dissolved. She didn't need anyone or anything to prove to her that Ivana was truly the one who had done the deed. Ivana had just said something about someone putting a mark on her. Katrina wanted to believe that the Supreme god who had slipped the insect into her body was none other than Ivana's master. She believed that what was happening was something beyond the ordinary. Giving by a lot of circumstances: The death of all the board members, the disappearance and the bird that had just flew away. "Where did that bitch go just now?" Manuel came storming back in her direction. Manuel didn

    Katrina came to stop when she saw a pretty lady standing in front of her. The lady was standing next to an SUV. The face of the lady looked cute and innocent. Katrina didn't know what to believe at first as she stared at the lady. Katrina found what the lady was wearing quite funny. Her eyes squinted for a minute. The lady was wearing something that was made from the skin of a random animal. She didn't think she had seen that animal before. The lady could have been taken for someone rough and wild, but just staring at how cute and clean her legs were, it was hard to come to a direct conclusion. Katrina, at this point, was caught in between claws of confusion. She didn't really know what to attribute to this strange lady. Before she stepped out of the villa, Dexter had cried and warned her that the lady outside was the one who had killed all the board members. How could it be so, Katrina wondered? This strange lady didn't look like someone who could even harm a fly. "Oh my fucking

    If blinking his eyes a million times was the better resort, Manuel should have been able to arrive at a perfect response by now. What was set in front of him right now was beyond what he could have seen coming. There was a heap of newly killed people in the center of the living room. Each of the people had their bodies severed in different regions. The head of a man was cut off. The bowel of another was pulled out of the stomach. Intenstines were hanging around the neck of some. One of them had his legs twisted to the back and curled around the back of the neck. Manuel couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the scene. He wished that this was nothing but a staged facade. Perhaps a sort of illusion that had been fused into reality just like the VR game. He was still speechless when he came to recognize the face of one of the dead men. "Klein?!!!" He screamed, running forward. Klein was one of the important board members of the Nyther-Rim Group."What happened to you, Klein? Who

    "Huh?" Manuel was taken by surprise following the suggestion that she had just made. "I believe that he's the only one who can be of help to me in this situation." Katrian added, looking beaten up. Manuel changed his position in his seat, turning fully to look at her. Earlier, ever since they got back to the villa after the experience at the beach, they had both been silent. Manuel, out of shame, had decided to turn his back to her in order not to measure his shame by the weight of the look on her face. "But nobody knows his whereabouts." Manuel added. "That shouldn't be a problem. We will find a way to get to him." She assured, nodding slowly. She hated to believe that she would be left to die this way. She had hardly achieved anything in her life. She had gone through a lot trying to claim Nyther-Rim for herself, positioning herself as the top figure in the company and the leader of the board members. It hadn't even been that long that she assumed that place of power. She was

    Slade who had been intrigued and impressed by the interior of the hut was stunned and startled by the random action of the woman. This was the last thing he could have ever imagined or expected from her. Actually, he wasn't expectant of anything. "Great one. I do not deserve your presence." The woman bowed to the ground, touching her forehead to the floor. "What are you doing?" Slade was obviously not comfortable by what the old woman was doing. Never in his life had he ever found himself comfortable with old folks bowing to him or paying him some regards. Not when Lord JK did it to him, nor now with this old woman. He quickly looked for a place to place Ihara. He gently placed him on a mat that had some support beneath it. This support looked more like animal skin, but fluffy and soft. Slade couldn't really tell from which animal it was gotten. He turned and walked back to the old woman. He stooped and held both arms of the woman to help her up. "Please don't do this." He urged
