"Get along?!!!" Vixton's brother-in-law exclaimed. "What are you talking about, cousin?" The other company was as stupefied. Slade was equally stunned by what Vixton had just said. Of all the things that he knew Vixton was capable of, he never imagined that those words would fall from his lips. "Come here." Vixton's cousin dragged him to the side. "What are you talking about bro? What do you mean by you want to get along with that fool?" "Have you forgotten what he did to you? How he ruined your wedding? Have you forgotten that as we speak right now Mariana is still crying back at home?"Vixton just looked from one man to the other as they tried to scold him."Do you think I am fool?" Vixton answered eventually. When he said this, they slowly started to space out on the rage. Perhaps Vixton knew what he was doing after all. "Just follow my lead and don't ruin the fun." His tone changed quite a little bit that his company realised that he wasserious at this point. They nodded w
Lord Jendall Kurtis was standing in front of his car, surrounded by a group of men who were dressed in different brands and designs of suits. Each of the men looked polish which goes to prove that they are more than a security personell that works under the JK family. "I'm glad that you have agreed with us to send men to treat the water." One of the men said to Lord JK. "We can definitely turn that slum into one of the best areas in Pinnacle County.""More importantly, we can easily diverge the attention of the public from the place before they'd ever discover that the land is rich with some --" The man talking now decided to trail off. The silence he created after that last word was enough for the rest of the group who already knew what he was trying to talk about. "Lest I forget, why did you decide against sending our men there tomorrow? The quicker the better." A man in blue suits addressed Lord JK."Do not be in a haste. I'll let you know when it's time to send men over. Pend
All these while, Slade was seated in his car, watching all of this unfold. He saw when Lord JK walked out of Pinnacle Height with the distinguised men. He also saw that the man was looking around in search of him. He understood why Lord JK would do that instead of calling him on the phone. Slade himself had promised that he would be hanging around outside the building but he was not there. He had wanted to walk up to Lord JK after the distinguished men left, but suddenly stopped when he saw Vixton. He really didn't know what meaning to read to what Vixton did. But he was certain that no good would ever come out of it. Then again, he wasn't actually bothered by things like that. He had other pressing matter to be bothered about at that moment. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number of Lord JK. He had to be discreet with this. He didn't want himself to be seen publicly with Lord JK. There are always hidden media people that hang around powerful men like Lord JK. They would
Lord JK looked extremely horrified after what Slade had just said. For the first few seconds, he couldn't bring himself to justify any form of reaction. He just kept staring at Slade as though he was going to pick something from his face.Lord JK was trying to see whether or not Slade was being serious or if there was any other meaning that he could possibly read to this.When he saw how knitted the face of Slade was, he pushed his body forward in the seat, facing Slade fully."Divine doctor." He muttered, still struggling to choose the right set of words."Did something happen? Did I do something wrong? Did my daughter call you and caused you any form of inconvenience? Could it be something else that some of my subordinates did?" Lord JK was running all over the words!He really didn't know how to bring himself to accept what Slade had just said. He wished he could nod his head and just let it pass but he couldn't."I used to think that you were an honorable man, but perhaps I was ve
Slade was still stuck on the fact that Lord JK willingly announced himself to the elderly folks.To the people in the slum, names like Jendall Kurtis was a myth. They've only heard the name. They had known to fear and be in great dread of the name. But never believe that such a person truly exists.Just like history was passed down through generations about some iconic or ruthless people who once existed in history. But their life story seemed so unsuall and brutal that one would grow to think that it was all a myth to scare the kids.Same was the situation between Lord JK and people who live in slums like this.Thereby, announcing himself to them was such a huge deal! In fact, not many influential folks have met with Lord JK, how much more people who live in the slum!!If the news about the visit of Lord JK gets out into the public, this entire area will be flooded by media personnel in the blink of an eye.Taking just a clear picture of Lord JK's face and copyrighted could be sold f
"But after treating the river, and after the construction, this neighborhood will forever belong to the elders. That's the essence of buying this land." Lord JK assured.Slade had a lot to think about at this point. This situation was grander than he could ever have imagined, and to think that he had painted Lord JK as the villian was something he now regretted and was willing to take back. Suddenly, Slade fell down on his knees right in front of Lord JK. The man's eyes widened in absolute shock. There was no way in the whole universe where he could have seen this coming. "Divine doctor, what are you doing?" Lord JK looked horrified to see Slade on his knees, dropping in the muddy area. In fact, the shoes of Lord JK was already coated in sticky soil, how much more Slade who was now on his knees?"I was wrong to have accused you blindly. I should have asked you a question and gotten to the root of this, but I decided to play myself." Slade had his head dropped, as he apologized. Sl
Lord JK was startled by Slade exclamation at first. The man was just about to welcome the expert and his men who had come to test the water. All of a sudden, Slade had exclaimed disrupting the pleasantries. He decided to watch what the hell was going on. "It's you. Isn't it?" Slade added, looking really surprised to see this person. "Nyther the Viper! The invincible sage!" The man, who now identifies as Guler, exclaimed, too.He equally looked surprised to see Slade, but the surprise was seeped in a lighter mood. Guler rushed to Slade and hugged him warmly. Slade felt a little uncomfortable having to hug a fellow man so tightly! But Guler seemed to be defeated by joy and didn't see anything wrong with the felicitation. "When the hell did you get out of prison?" Guler asked Slade, pulling away. "Man, you look very different. Did you get out three months ago?" Slade didn't answer the question immediately. He didn't want to be too forward with the answers, but then when he recalled
Guler stood there grounded to the spot. He was staring blankly as though he had lost every brain cell left in his head.Slade Nyther was known as a weakling back in the prison before he mysteriously became powerful. He became so powerful that the strongest and deadliest inmates never wanted smoke with him!But that was in the prison. A powerful man in the prison should in no sense equate the same when such finds himself in the real world!Guler wouldn't have had a problem getting over this if the person who had just bowed to Slade was a normal rich person! If it was the patriach of another family, he might not have reacted this way!But seeing that Lord Jendall Kurtis, the most powerful patriach in Pinnacle county, had just bowed to Slade! His jaws remained dropped as he watched the man go. "I'll see you to your car." Slade called on top of his voice and followed Lord Jendall who was already far gone. Slade realised that Guler would have a lot of questions to ask him. This wasn't th
