2024-08-22 17:47:15Anger 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

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.

"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

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
