..“Welcome back, now let us continue.” Gerald was still trying to make sense of what the hell was going on. The memories of his skin being peeled with a razor blade and having the open flesh in his entire body wrapped with salt before he died flashed in his mind. To him, his death was his liberation from his suffering from such horrible torture.The funny thing is that even when he had agreed to give Landon the information he wanted Landon didn’t care. He continued with his torture. It was almost as if Landon was a monster.Gerald looked down and saw all his torn skin and flesh splattered on the ground around him.Gerald was shocked beyond words. He did not know what to think. ‘So the sudden torture I just had was not a dream. But if it’s not a dream, how is it I’m still standing completely healed and alive?’This was the question on Gerald’s mind so he voiced it out. “I thought I just died?”And then Landon laughed mischievously. “Die? Do you want to die? Do you think I will let
. . Silent Logan was walking through the hallway. He was dressed in a suit. Upon approaching a door Silent Logan's eyes glinted with wariness. Standing in front of the large door were two peak divine slayer martial artists. The reason Silent Logan was wary was because he knew that these two guards could kill him easily if they wanted to and he would not be able to do anything about it. Silent Logan was a peak, God-level martial artist. He knew the highest level of martial artist he could manage to take on with his current strength was a martial artist that had just entered the divine slayer level and that was it. Fighting any martial artists above that was complete suicide so he didn’t hesitate to bow to the two guards in front of him. “I’m here to see Lord Leonard.” Even if these two men are just mere guards they are way more powerful than him. “What is your name?” One of the guards asked. “Silent Logan.” Silent Logan replied politely. “You may go in.” One of the guards ope
..It had already been a week since Landon rescued his friends from Gerald and took down nobody.Eve made sure to return his friends to their families one way or the other. The group of friends had undergone deep emotional trauma. Let’s say they had been rescued without anyone dying it would have been a completely different thing but since they had witnessed Jude die they were going through the terror of not having someone close to them alive.Jasmine had already gone back to her family they had to go through a great shock as well. Finding out that Aria is no longer in Africa serving her punishment was a complete shock to them. Even after escaping, she did not seek forgiveness and mercy instead she still wanted their family's downfall.This annoyed Eleanor a lot and she did not hesitate to declare Aria as the Rivera family’s public enemy with their contacts. After all, hiding the fact that Aria was no longer part of the Rivera family would do them no good because the news was bound t
..Landon could not torture Gerald for all eternity so he transferred his task to someone else. Even if he was not the one doing it, Gerald was still suffering his torture. After a long while Landon did not resume school. He wanted nothing more than to seek revenge on the Holloway family. Jude had to pay for his problem and Landon was angry about it. He didn’t have peace. The only people who got to see him were the rest of his friends in his apartment.“Landon, we are all still hurt by Jude’s death but you have to resume school. The date of our internship is no longer far.” Ian, one of Landon’s friends voiced out.Landon only smiled and replied. “Don’t worry I’m okay. I’m not ready to start attending classes yet. I will be okay.”Landon got the point Ian was trying to send across. If he keeps missing classes he won’t be qualified for the internship that is not far away. But the truth is that they did not know that Landon could not fail for anything at Cradle Valley University. Not w
..Landon frowned when he saw both Joan and Elena in one place. He did not know who the young man holding hands with Joan was but he knew that both Joan and Elena were a headache to him.“What are you doing here?” Joan asked arrogantly when she saw him.Landon did not reply to her because he knew nothing good would come out of this encounter.Joan frowned when she saw how Landon did not give her an answer. “Are you not the one I am talking to?”Landon rolled his eyes and retorted. “I heard you loud and clear but I don’t see why I have to explain my actions to you.”“You loser! I was trying to act nice but you have the guts to be arrogant! How dare you?” Joan retorted.“Just look at him. What is a loser like him doing here?” Elena looked at Landon like he was the most annoying thing on earth.However, Landon did not pay them attention anymore. Instead, he looked at the receptionist and said. “Can you tell Mr. David I am here to see him?”The receptionist frowned when she heard Landon
. . “What did you say your name is again?” Landon asked coldly. “My name is Felix Hart. What are you going to do about it?” Felix replied with a sneer. “Do you think knowing my name will help you do anything?” Landon was angry. How dare Felix utter such words when he knows nothing? Even if the heavens fall and the earth spilt apart he would make sure Felix is punished for uttering those words. “I will make sure I reduce you to nothing today.” Landon voiced out chillingly. However, laughter suddenly erupted among the trio. Landon’s words were like a joke to them. Even the onlookers could all read the room to tell why Landon’s words felt like a joke to their ears. “You brat, you are funny.” Joan wiped the tears out of the corner of her eyes. “And do you think you are in a position to ruin my boyfriend? My boyfriend is the sole heir of his family conglomerate.” “Yes, do you hear that loser?” Felix smirked. “And who are you? From what I heard you are just a loser so you can’t do an
. . “Is that so? If that’s the case then I want them bankrupt right this minute and inform the entire Hart family that Felix Hart is the reason for their bankruptcy. Can you handle this task?” When Felix watched Landon asked Mr. David this question in a dominant manner. He could not tell if he was currently in an ongoing nightmare. Why the hell is Mr. David bowing to this loser in the first place? ‘This looks like a nightmare. Maybe I’m just in a bad dream.’ Felix’s thought. However, Mr. David’s reply to Landon’s question caused Felix to believe that he was in a nightmare. “Of course. I will get it done immediately.” There was no trace of hesitation in Mr. David’s agreement towards Landon’s request. Mr. David quickly took out his phone and called his secretary. “Hey Tammy, I want you to annul every business deal we have with the Hart conglomerate enterprises! You don’t need to ask me a reason for my decision! Just do as I say! By the way, I’m not done! I want you to release the
..Felix could not believe his father’s answer over the loudspeaker of the call.His father had not hesitated to sacrifice him just to save the family. This was a total betrayal! Felix felt very bad to his core as tears flowed from his eyes.However, Landon smiled when he heard Felix’s father's choice. “I have to say you are a smart man. You made the right choice. Mr. David will have your business running back on full operation after you have posted the bounty so everything is now in your hands.”[“I will get to it done young master. Don’t worry!”] Felix’s father eagerly replied and the call ended.Meanwhile, Felix felt completely broken. It is not every day one gets to experience the feeling of being thrown to their death by their loved ones. Felix could never have imagined his father would forsake him just like that without even raising an issue. From the looks of things, his father was even the one eager to fulfill Landon’s condition by placing the bounty on his head.Landon looke
