2024-08-22 17:51:13Three 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 Slade at once.
"You're out?" Mr. Paxton sounded disappointed as he asked the question.
Slade had wanted to greet the man, but hearing what the man had just said about the wedding and how excited he was, then it means that the whole family was in support of it. Slade heart became bitter.
All these people used to love him. What changed?
"What are you doing here -" Before Mr. Paxton could complete the question. He noticed the ring in Slade's finger.
When he saw Slade's ring, he was shocked, and his eyes almost popped out of his head. He moved closer to his wife and whispered into her ears.
Slade was wondering what the matter could be.
"That can't be!" Mrs. Paxton gasped and exclaimed as she looked at the ring again.
She walked to Slade and grabbed his hand roughly. She held his palm up to inspect the ring closely. She was in utter disbelief as she shook her head ruthlessly.
"How is this possible? How did he get this ring?! This ring belongs to the most powerful family in the whole country! How dare you stole this!" Mrs. Paxton accused him.
She didn't see how Slade in any way could lay his wretched hands on something so valuable.
"Don't patronize him, honey." Mr Paxton scoffed. "How can a lowly ex-convict like him steal something like this? This ring is the only ring of its kind in the whole of Pinnacle County! I heard not even the only daughter of Jendall Kurtis has access to this ring! How can a lowly person like Slade get close to the old man, let alone steal from him? His head would have been barbecued by now." Mr Paxton chuckled.
"I think he faked it! He went to a black market and had someone make a fake ring that looked like the JK signature ring!" Mr Paxton accused.
"Oh! This sly bastard!" Mrs. Paxton exclaimed. "He must have done this in order to impress us and change the mind of Mariana! He wanted to fool us. He probably believed that if we saw the ring, we would believe him and respect him! He deserved to be locked in jail again!!!" Mrs. Paxton exclaimed.
"Poor, boy. You had barely gotten out of prison. Isn't it too early to go back?" There was a big smirk in Mr. Paxton's face as he said this.
"I'll call the police right away." Matthew unstrapped his walkie-talkie at once and put it to his mouth.
"Don't! Don't call the police!" Mrs. Paxton exclaimed. "I want a perfect wedding for my only daughter. Calling the ploci will only raise concerns." She seemed to be changing her mind.
"Beat him up. Beat this bastard until he is unable to move an arm! Then we can send him to the office by ourselves." She flashed a shark-like grin.
Matthew approached Slade with a murderous intent. Death flashed in his eyes.
When Matthew got to Slade, he reached his arm out to grab Slade by the chest and pull him away. He fisted a handful of Slade's faded cloth in his palm and was trying to pull Slade away.
"Come here!" Matthew tried to pull Slade, but he could hardly do it.
Matthew, for a moment, thought that perhaps because his feet were not firm on the ground, that was why he was unable to achieve his goal. He was very much stronger than Slade, so why was he having difficulty pulling Slade?
He tried again with more strength to pull Slade away, but Slade didn't even waver, let alone budge. It was just like seven strong body builders, trying to pull a rope that is caught in between the jaws of a male adult lion.
Suddenly, Slade held the hand of Matthew, which was still on his cloth, and took it off gently.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, please." Slade's tone was soft and very accommodating.
Matthew didn't want to believe that he was unable to pull Slade away, but what Slade was saying quickly took his mind off the matter.
"I just want to meet with Mariana and clarify something with her. This is all I wish for. I promise that I won't cause trouble." Slade didn't want to cause drama here also.
He believed that none of this was her true intention. She must have been coerced!
Sometimes, parents would use their daughters as a bargaining leverage to get a slot in a business world. Perhaps this is what is happening in the case of Mariana.
"Are you dumb or stupid?" Matthew snapped at Slade. "I have been very lenient with you. I can't afford to spill your blood on the driveway of this beautiful area. It will only affect the wedding."
When he noticed that Slade would not go, he started to get physical with Slade.
Slade didn't want to hurt an innocent person. The security guard was just doing to his job. If he fails to do as told by Linda, he probably would be sacked and even ostracized for it!
The security man was trying so hard to throw slaps and punches at Slade, but somehow, Slade didn't have a hard time either stopping or dodging the attacks. This was getting to the point of frustration for the concerned.
"What's going on here?" A sudden feminine voice was heard.
Both Slade and Matthew stopped struggling. They both turned to see a very beautiful lady.
She had blonde hair. Her face was perfect, and her skin felt like a mirror. She was quite tall with ethereal curves. She was dressed in a cute gown, and every perfect shape of her body was spoken for.
When Slade saw this lady, his eyes widened.It was the girl he saved from the river.
He was surprised, really surprised to see her there.

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.

Suddenly, Mariana felt something dripping from her nostril. She didn't notice at first because she was enjoying tormenting Slade.When she realised, her eyes widened. There was blood pouring from both of her nostrils.She shuddered, cupping her palms to her nose to stop the blood from ruining her gown.There was a tornado of headache in her head. Her head hurt so bad that she almost thought that her skull would crack open."What's happening to me? My head hurts!" Mariana exclaimed.Slade was filled with extreme anger and sadness. It seemed like the more she opened her mouth to speak, the more malevolent and eviller she sounded.Was this the same girl he had dated almost all his life and almost gave his life away for?Was this really the same Mariana he loved so much?Was this the same Mariana who promised never to leave his side?Slade couldn't wrap his head around this. This was just too preposterous and unbelievable to be true! So it happened that she was no any different from her p

Slade didn't bother to want to leave. If he wanted to, he could shove Vixton out of the way and watch him break all his limbs. He could do all this without even breaking a sweat. But right now, he had something else in mind.People like Mariana and Vixton should be made to beg to keep their lives!"I'm in my right senses! It's really you! It's the murderer." Vixton smirked as he continuously accused Slade. "What the hell are you doing here today?"Vixton shook his head for a second."No, that's not the right question. How did you get out of prison? When were you released? Are you alive?" Vixton cackled as though he wished Slade dead. "What gave you the guts to show up on my wedding day?" Vixton's voice was gaining bass, and it seemed like he was beginning to lose his cool"Look around you!" Vixton ordered Slade. As he said this, he also looked around. "Where do you think you are? This is the West Jade Ave! Do you even have any clue what this means? This means that you're in the costli

They arrived at the villa. They didn't have to walk a long distance because the Villa was quite close to the church. Slade could now understand why Candyce had randomly walked to the scene at the cathedral.The villa stood out in the area. It looked really opulent, and its exterior design was very rear. It looked like a design that must have been contracted to one of the best architects in the whole world.Slade didn't want to focus on the building itself. There was an urgent business he had to attend to her. The pressing matter was much more important than the lush gardens that surrounded the building or the crystal private pool that overlooked the ocean view.Candyce was already at the front, pushing the alarm bell of the door. As soon as the doorbell tinged, the door opened from inside. It would seem as though the person behind the door had been expecting someone's presence.Walking through the door was none other than Jendall Kurtis. He was wearing a simple attire, and his face lo

Slade hardly had to resort to exuding aura to intimidate. He didn't like to do it because he believed that people should not be manipulated in order to instill fear or demand respect from them. But in this situation, he had to employ and exude compelling aura in order to get Candyce and the doctor to listen to him!He couldn't let their ego and foolishness cost the life of someone whom he had given his word to! Even if he wouldn't heal Jendall for their sake, he would do it because Jendall trusted and believed in him! Wasn't that one of the core beliefs in divine healing?If Jendall had not trusted him, the old man wouldn't have given him his treasured ring or even invited him to his villa! Also, because of the words that Slade had given to Jendall, he had to heal the man.The aura that had gushed out of Slade's body as he walked forward worked for a while. He didn't want the two to become brainless robots or statues that couldn't decide for themselves. He had to withdraw some aura to

CHAPTER 16."Switch off the air conditioner." Slade ordered out of the blue. Candyce had no reason to argue yet. She found the remote control of the AC and switched it off from the spot. "The pool of sweet has to dry naturally. It might look unnecessary, but it's important in the process." Slade added. "Who are you?" Doctor Huggins couldn't hold himself back anymore. At first, he had wanted to admire Slade from distance and not get too close because he was already looking for someone to blame the death of Jendall on if things didn't go well. But after seeing the technique that Slade had just employed in treating the old man, curiosity got the best of him, and he was now a mere shadow of his desires. Slade turned to look at the doctor. He saw the look of utmost awe crawling up the face of the man. He could still remember how this man was glaring at him earlier. He could remember how the man hardly paid any attention to him earlier. What changed now?"You look like someone who didn

Candyce swoon over her father, hugging him with every fiber in her body. She had thought that she had lost him. She had thought that her father had ended up as a specimen of a failed medical procedure. She couldn't believe that he was finally back to life.The flood that poured from her eyes soaked the portion of the cloth of her father where her face was buried in."You healed my father! You truly healed my father!" She suddenly felt remorseful towards Slade.She recalled that she had said a lot of harsh and unfair words to Slade. She wished to redeem herself at this moment. Her emotions got the best of her, and she has returned to her senses."I'm so sorry for all the evil words I said to you. I didn't mean for them to come out that way. I thought you were trying to extort us and pretend to be who you are not. Please forgive me." Although she was apologizing to him, she didn't leave her father yet.She was such a daddy's girl. The way she was holding her father, it would seem as tho

Everyone watched with mouth agape following what had just happened. They thought that they had seen it all when the demons changed into their true form and killed Manuel. Seeing what Slade had just done broke every barrier that their minds had set against the impossible. With just one swipe of the hand, Slade had created a deep and very dark hole. Everyone of them could see as the mouth of the dark hole opened as though it was the pulsing throat of a gigantic and wild beast. The throat of the dark vacuum had gobbled the demons and had vanished into thin air. "Master!!!" Ivana jumped on her feet instantly and raced towards Slade. Ivana who appeared to have lost her will and strength was suddenly and instantly energized. She looked like a different person at that moment. She ran towards Jaai and leapt into his chest. With her legs curled around his waist, and her arms around his neck, she hugged him with every bit of strength in her body. "What the hell is wrong with this girl?" S

By this time, all the demons were done feasting on the body of Manuel and were now back to their old human forms. Even though they were looking like an average human now, Izuga couldn't see them as such anymore. Right now, he was pissing his pants and shuddering. It felt like he would pass out any moment from now. He couldn't even lift his gaze, let alone look at the demons. He wished that he could grow a wing and fly out of this fucking place. He wished that there was something he could do to vanish. But when the reality dawned on him, he realised that the only superpower that he had right now was just wishes. There was nothing he could do but wish. It should be relieving but it was a mere illusion. Araguta was equally shaken to the core. Of course he had fought in deadly battles and had dealt blows that were ruthless. He had killed a thousand of evil spirits and had summoned many, returning them back to where they came from. Yet, he had never seen any demon of this form. Demons

The voice sounded so familiar to Sceptre that he couldn't do any other thing but be stunned by the suddenness of the call. Looking at the person who had just called his name, Sceptre's eyes widened in shock. With the look on his face, it would seem like he had just seen a ghost. "Izuga." Araguta, the man Sceptre muttered as he saw the man. "My son." He added. "Father!" The man, who now identifies as Izuga screamed. "What are you doing here" He asked, not ready to hear the answer. "I should be asking you this. How the hell did you get here?" The tone or Araguta had tuned so deeply that it was evident in his voice that this wasn't a reunion anymore. Sceptre was scolding his son as though he was an urchin who had just landed himself into a deep mess. He was way too annoyed than to be surprised to see him here. There was a reason they had fought and stopped seeing each other. Araguta had warned his son never to be part of the secret agent that worked for the government but Izuga had

The man was wetting his pants right now as he saw what had just happened. He thought that he had seen cruel people all his life, but he had been telling himself a huge lie. What he had just seen was way more than just terrible. At first when he had seen the lady, he had thought that they were sex workers who came to please their clients. Instead, the ladies seemed scared of the men. This meant that the ladies must have been brought here against their own wills. They had been trafficked. A new wave of fear gripped the man. He was shaking. He was shuddering. If this kind of men were the people they had been brought to, doesn't that mean that they were done for?He wished that there was a way they could escape this kind of trouble but not in his wildest dreams would that be possible. He just knew it. The only way they would be rescued would be if perhaps an angel dropped down from heaven or a god. If that could happen, then perhaps they could have a shot at getting freed.

"He wanted to kill me! He almost killed me!" Manuel cried as soon as he saw the creatures. He was reporting to the creatures as though they would come to his aid and teach the man some lessons. Instead, two of the creatures grabbed each of them and dragged them in. "Where are you taking us?" The man argued, doing all he could to yank himself off the hard grip of the weird-looking creatures. Perhaps he thought that the powers that he had just exhausted on Manuel would find a way to resurface. If that were to be the case, then he wouldn't be dragged away like a sac of rice. When he stopped trying to free himself, he realised that they had entered what looked like a big hall. At this point, he was neither scared nor worried. Instead, he was curious. This hall looked like a medical lab where gigantic transparent tanks were lined up all across the space. There were aisles in between the rows of transparent tanks.Each tank held a type of creature that the man had never seen before. In

The man was mellow through the journey. They walked through a dark hallway, then bursted into a hallway that had tiny hues of blue rays. The man had lifted his gaze for a moment to see where the blue rays were coming from, but his eyes were weary from the hard slap that he had received the second time. When the security had tried to drag him out of the prison, he had tried to put up a fight again, instead he met with a very laughable humiliation. Hence, to protect his ego and the thoughts of being capable, he decided that it would be best for him not to try and act the hero just like he was warned by the security.Soon enough, they approached a door that was saturated by a brilliant white light. The saturation was so high that it was hard to tell whether it was the door that was white or it was the white light that gave that illusion. They came to stop at the door. As soon as they stopped at the door, the three security personnel stepped away from them, letting them free. The sec

Three men dressed in black plain suits appeared at the front of the gate. One of the men opened the gate and the others stepped in. Manuel was still on the floor, groaning in pain as he tried to sit up but he just couldn't. Of course he could see the men that had just walked in, but he was too weak to react in a certain way. "Who are you?" The man argued, staking a claim as he stared at the three men who were walking towards him. He wasn't the same old weak person he used to be. He was now a new person and would do anything to protect that interest. In the past, he would have cowered like a cornered animal. But right now, he was willing to give it whatever it takes to earn his freedom. After all, he now has some powers. "I'm warning you to stop right now when I'm being nice to you." He warned again as the men kept walking in his direction. They didn't care about his warning obviously.The fact that they didn't care about his warning was making him feel unseen. How could someone

"What the hell is that?" The man wondered, turning back to Manuel to see what the hell was happening. Looking at the grip on his wrist, he saw Manuel's hand. Manuel's palm was locked around his wrist, holding him so strongly as though it would snap his wrist off. "What the hell!" He gasped, unable to explain how Manuel's grip got so strong. Wasn't this the same man that he had been hitting blue and black for a while now? Why all of a sudden, Manuel gained some strange strength? Why did it have to be when he was about to figure out where he was?He trailed the hand to the face of Manuel. Manuel's eyes were still shut just like it had always been. The eyelids didn't even flicker nor twitch. "Let go of my hand, you fool!" The man was getting rather impatient. "It's better you make the right decision before I break your face further." He threatened as though Manuel could hear him. He has been working as a secret agent for years. He knew what subconscious strength means. This is the c

When consciousness was restored to his body, his eyes flickered for a moment. There was a strong urge to open his eyes but he couldn't follow through with it for some reasons. Soon enough, his eyes started itching. This time, there was no reason not to follow through with the obvious. His eyes flipped open. Then he shut them again as they met with blinding lights. When he tried to open the eyes again, he tried to do it carefully. He didn't want to fall into the same old ditch that he had fallen into earlier. Opening his eyes this time, he redirected the concentration of his pupils in another direction. That was the only way he could avoid the same old mistake. When his gaze fell on the other area, he saw something interesting that stole a weird sound from his throat. It was something that was rather instinctive than premeditated. It was the leg of a human. At first, he thought that the leg was disconnected from the body of the human but it wasn't. His eyes slowly trailed the leg
