Slade remained stagnant for a moment. As still as water. "Give the result to me." Slade reached out his hand, collecting the test result from Guler. After this, he turned around instantly and started to head out of the office. There were a lot of things he had to do right now, and to put them in order was something that looked close to impossibility. His head was flooded with so many thoughts and speculations. Just a moment ago, he was thinking of the relation of Lord JK to his father's company when he had discovered something even more preposterous. He didn't want to believe it, but there was no way he was going to turn a blind eye to something so relevant and disturbing. When he had gone to the slum to pick him Mamita up and had met the architects, he had thought that he would find a way to help the elderly folks by finding an easy way to treat the water. He could never have imagined that the result would make him so excited, anxious, flustered and worried. "Could this be? Co
"What the actual fuck!""I can't believe this. What the hell, man!""Did he really steal from Mr Calvin? Damn! He must be really tired of living.""Actually, I feel more pity for his generation that had no idea about what he did. They would be killed for no reason.""And to think that he was acting proud moments ago! What a fucking psycho."There were harsh remarks flying around after the purple card was found on Slade. Slade remained as rigid and neutral as he was earlier. He was neither scared nor worried. He shut his eyes for a moment as he tried to clear his head. Clearing his head helped him shut out the noise that was a militant against the flow of energy. When his mind became a clear path, he started to travel back in time in his head until he came to stop. His mind pulled a break when it got the scene when a young lad bumped into him. He highlighted the scene and flipped out, making it appear right in front of him. This time, he activated the Vyion Eye. With the Vyion, he
Slade had been gone for a while, yet for the next few moments, the Nyther-Rim Groups lobby remained stiff. It would seem as though everyone was scared to say something. Calvin Havill seemed to be under a daze at the moment. No one wanted to walk into the flames. Whoever that tries to be a hero might be the scapegoat, so everyone was keeping quiet and waiting. The bone of contention was common. Who was that young man who had just walked out of Nyther-Rim Groups?!Who was that young man that could call Lord JK so casually?! Who was that young man who made the powerful Calvin Havill, one of the important share holders in Nyther-Rim Groups, look like a nobody in the twinkling of an eye?Just who was that young man?"Sir?" The security man suddenly called Calvin, making him snap out of the thoughts. "That bastard just left with your card! You can't let that happen! I should run after him and beat the life out of him! I should---"Thwack! Thwack! Calvin sent two revolving slaps across
"Are you for real?" A young lady exclaimed as soon as she heard this. She was a slender blonde with petite figure. Her skin was clear and her face round. Her eyes were bright and dreamy. She looked more like a doll. "You mean the same Amelia? The baddest and most popular model in the county?" The young lady was really excited as she asked. "Mhm-mhm." Mariana answered nonchalantly, chewing on something."The Amelia who runs the biggest perfume brand in the country?" The young lady was struggling to believe this. "Celia! How many yeses do you want me to say?" Mariana complained, looking exhausted from her cousin's questions. "Can I come with you? Please, can I?" Celia ran to hold Mariana to convince her. "It wasn't even easy for me to make it there. If it wasn't because of Vixton, I would have only dreamt of it." Mariana brushed it off. "Maybe you should also be on a lookout for hot and rich guys! Stop dating bums! They can't pay your bills. They'll just drag you to the mud with
Lord JK stopped what he was doing as soon the words travelled to him."Slade." Candyce said, looking up at the person who just entered into the foyer. When Lord JK looked at Slade's face, he saw that it was knitted and held a very strong note of business. "Leave us." He said, turning to his daughter. "Dad?" Candyce was a little bit surprised when her father said this. She looked away from her father to Slade. Judging by the way things were, she could tell at once that something was up. Although she didn't want to leave and wasn't very much pleased with the way her father had spoken to her, she knew too well to see reason. Whatever it was she was feeling at the moment, she could let it pass for now and then revisit it, perhaps when all of this is gone. She got up and left for her room. "Divine doctor." Lord JK said, now left with Slade. "You should have a seat."Lord JK offered, getting up to go and pour a glass of wine. There were a couple of guards that could have been asked
"I'm sure that the patriach wouldn't want this if he was still alive. That's why I made a move to save the company. That's why I want to buy it" Lord JK came to pause. Slade stood up all of a sudden. He headed to be bar where Lord JK had poured himself a glass of wine. He did the same and returned. "It's not in your position to worry about the company." Slade started. "Don't get involved with the company anymore. Withdraw all your interests and proposals. So that we can get along well." Slade said sternly. But mostly like a warning. Lord JK's eyes were blank for a moment. Soon enough, certain details started to appear in his eyes. It seemed like he was trying to understand why Slade was acting like this. This would make it the second time that Slade would act like this. At first, it was because of the slum! It was easy to understand why Slade would act like that because of the slum! Slade cared about the elderly folks. That was a great thing!But Lord JK was confused to know why
Lord Jendall Kurtis was a very reputable man whose charisma and influence preceeds him wherever he goes to. Yet, hearing that Slade was the heir of Nyther-Rim Groups was something that he wasn't actually prepared for. Candyce who was standing nearby was as shocked as her father. She had thought that Slade was using his influence as a doctor to get things from her father. Extortion. But now hearing that Slade himself was not an ordinary man but the heir of the notable and giant Nyther-Rim Groups?This was something she couldn't have imagined or seen coming. Lord JK was yet to say word. It was a truth that Lord JK owned a consortium and managed a lot of companies and firms, both physical and virtual. Yet he was not oblivious to the fact that Nyther-Rim Groups was not an ordinary company that he could buy as easily as he buys every other company that made up his consortium!If it was so easy to get Nyther-Rim, he would have done that like three years ago!If Nyther-Rim Groups was a
"You shouldn't bother." Slade quickly stepped in, stopping Lord JK.Lord JK still had his phone to his ear, expecting the call to be answered any moment from then. He looked quite angry at Slade when Slade told him not to bother. What was Slade thinking saying something like that. "Please hang the call." Slade urged. "Hello?" A hoarse voice was heard on the other end of the phone. Lord JK was boiling at this point. He was wishing so bad to let it all out at the person on the other end of the phone. "Is anyone there?" The voice came again. Lord JK threw his phone out of rage and it crashed against the first contact, splitting in different directions. "I'm sorry for not letting you do that, but you need to understand me." Slade continued. This time, Lord JK'S face slowly began to soften. "This is my fight. And I don't want it to escalate." Slade was choosing his words as he let them roll out one after the other. "I have a plan in place. And I won't stop until after I have dest
