“What nonsense are you brat talking, I dare you to repeat what you just said again!”Sally suddenly glared ferociously at her daughter, as if she would shoot out laser beams from her eyes and evaporate her to nothingness if she dares repeat what she just said.But unfortunately for her and the entire Johnson family, Fiona has already lost it completely right now to care about anything.“No!!!”She stood her ground without being moved at all and suddenly spat.“I will never agree to this! I’m a married woman!”Not flinching nor looking scared, she added.“How could I suddenly be told to marry another man?”Hearing this, the old Matriarch began to tremble all over again.She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.Ever since she knew Fiona. Apart from always acting cold, she had never been disrespectful to her or her seniors even when cursed to damnation.This is the first time.‘This stupid brat. How could she act like this at this critical moment?’The Old Matriarch's eyes started turning red with furiousness, and if not because of Alan Bottoms that is present, she would have ordered people to help her beat Fiona to death right now.Whilst still trembling and breathing heavily, the old Matriarch suddenly pointed at Fiona frantically before spatting.“You Big Fool, I Hereby Ordered As The Matriarch Of This Family And Your Grandmother That First Thing Tomorrow Morning, You, Fiona Johnson Would Go File For A Divorce With That Fool And Marry This Wonderful Young Man Here!”Her eyes filled with bored heavily into Fiona.Seeing this and hearing her grandmother's order, Fiona's eyes suddenly became laced with pain and disappointment, but she remained adamant.“No Grandmother. It was Grandpa that ordered me to marry him before he died, so I’m sorry, I would have to go against your order!”Hearing how that sounded like disrespectful curses to her ears, the anger within the old Matriarch instantly reached its peak, and her heart began to pump blood hysterically.Just as she was about to start cursing, she felt a touch on her.The Old Matriarch became annoyed and turned towards the person who had touched her.However, upon recognizing the individual as someone she could not afford to offend, her irritable and fierce expression faded away, and was replaced by a submissive and respectful countenance.Seeing this, Alan Bottoms abruptly became completely certain in his mind.‘With this attitude, I can now be certain that you would be able to help me get my girl forcefully, but there wouldn’t be any joy in that though.’Smiling slightly, Alan Bottoms who had reached the Old Matriarch's side unknowingly suddenly muttered something Into her ear, calming the Old Matriarch down greatly.She heaved a sigh of relief.‘As expected of a great young master, he wasn’t like ordinary people at all.’She suddenly sighed secretly before watching as Alan Bottoms shifted back and smiled brightly before speaking.“Madamé Johnson, I need to be on my way now, I still have an important meeting to attend.”The old Matriarch immediately became disappointed at this, but she doesn’t want to look greedy at all, so she thanked Alan Bottoms, directly changing his treatment, and dealing with him like an important member of her family.After she was done, bright light abruptly flashed in her eyes before she directly turned to glance at Fiona.“Please, could you see off young master Bottoms?”Hearing this, Fiona instantly thought of declining, but on another thought, she nodded her head and did as implored.….Not knowing that something major which greatly concerned him had happened after he left the Johnson Family Estate, Rex Magnus could presently be seen in a little room inside a coffee shop, and currently, before him sat an incredibly beautiful lady with pearly skin.This lady is so beautiful that it would be extremely difficult to judge who is prettier between her and Fiona.But unlike Fiona with a cold countenance, this particular lady is very warm outside and always has a never-changing smile that could destroy a nation on her face.“Master, this is so unlike you, why do you want to know the value of this medicine?”A melodious voice that sounded like that of an angel abruptly came out of the beauty's mouth.Hearing her question, Rex Magnus doesn’t want to tell her the reason, so he only kept quiet and played with the Garlic-like medicine in his hand.Seeing this, May, one of Rex Magnus' trusted aides and the only person who knew he was still alive abruptly sighed gently.Having known her master for a long time, she realized what his silence means.“Actually, money alone couldn’t buy this medicine. I had to exchange something worth 300 billion dollars for it.”James immediately raised his head with a start when he heard this, and his mouth directly twitched greatly.“What if I tell you that someone called it a leftover garlic clove?”“Huh!!”May's eyes widen at this.It was as if she just heard the greatest joke of her life.“That person must be the greatest fool of all time if he or she dares to call this medicine that could treat all sorts of sickness and diseases known and unknown to mortals a leftover garlic.” She suddenly chuckled greatly like a little fairy.“Master, who is that person? Let me go teach them a lesson on your behalf!”Rex Magnus only smiled at this, thinking of his mother-in-law.He suddenly took in a deep breath and the expression on his face cooled greatly.“How is my mother?”May's face also abruptly changed when she heard this question.Seeing this, Rex Magnus' heart pounded greatly.He became scared.“Did… did something happen to mother?”May instantly shake her head.“No master, but… master's mother, she still isn’t been able to forget master after all these years, and she’s still greatly affected by this.”Rex Magnus instantly shut his eyes tightly after hearing this, looking extremely pained.When he finally opened them, they were already completely red.“I can't let her know I’m alive yet due to all those who still want me dead.”Having already expected Rex Magnus to say this, May sighed quite emotionally.Although she knew it was a hard decision for her master, even she would have objected if he had decided he wished to inform his mother that he was still alive.“Let's discuss something else.” Rex Magnus suddenly uttered seriously, the expression on his face right now completely opposite that of what everybody in the Johnson family and Chase city knew him with. “Yes, master.”“How are the investigations you’re carrying out?”May's face immediately changed yet again.“Master… too… too many people that couldn’t be counted who were involved in what happened three years ago.”Rex Magnus instantly released a cold killing intent which instantly scared May to death.“Of cause, I know that,” he took in a deep breath. “And my promise remains strong, I would butcher every one of them.” he coldly reminded himself of his vow, resembling a death God.***** At the moment, a solitary figure could be observed strolling calmly and leisurely down a deserted street illuminated solely by the street lamps and the faint glow of the crescent moon above. This person is Rex Magnus who just left the coffee shop and is on his way home.Despite his apparent calmness at the moment, his mind is currently overwhelmed with the information given to him by May not long ago.'So, despite the affection, attention, and care I show that cousin, he was involved in the planning of the unfortunate and tragic incident that happened to me three years ago.'He pondered before a deep sigh abruptly escaped him and his eyes flickered with a cold glint within the dimly lit street. Then suddenly, memories of the diligent and taciturn young lad he once knew flooded into his mind.Although he lacked a deep understanding of human emotions, Rex Magnus had recognized the reverence and admiration the young man had for him then which was why he frequently guided him duri
***** Upon hearing her grandma's cold, emotionless voice, Fiona trembled instantly. Nevertheless, she responded while her gaze remained fixated on her palms resting on her lap. “Grandma, it… it was because I'm already married to the man provided by my brother.”As soon as these words reached the ears of everybody present, they became still. It was as if a heavy weight of emotion had descended upon them.They couldn’t help but suddenly remember the person known well to all the members of the Johnson family, Ronald Johnson, Fiona's Brother.He was the young and lone man who had single-handedly made the Johnson family a first-rated family when he was alive.Till today, nobody has forgotten him.In fact, some people still don’t believe in his death to date because they hadn’t seen his corpse or heard of anyone seeing it for the past three years.Suddenly, the old matriarch involuntarily squeeze her eyes shut for a moment and upon reopening them, they had become utterly devoid
***** Not knowing that his wife was being schemed against, Rex Magnus is presently blaming himself inside a hospital lounge. It’s a hospital of a moderate size that falls somewhere in between the best and worst options available in Chase City. This was the first hospital Rex Magnus had sighted earlier after searching about, so he had brought the old man and his granddaughter here. Who would have thought that after Rex Magnus and some nurses had finished moving the patient into the best ward within the hospital, he would be detained because that was what happened? In all honesty, Rex Magnus could leave if he so much desired, but to avoid unnecessary complications, he chooses to remain and he was left at one side while everybody instantly became extremely busy. It was as if something significant had occurred within the hospital, everywhere became abuzz with activities as doctors, nurses, and cleaners rushed about to create the best possible environment for the elderly man. Re
***** “Master Rodriguez's condition is by no way looking good at all this time around.”As soon as everybody standing before Rex Magnus heard this, they became filled with fear and hastily advanced, their face etched with deep concern and anxiety, leaving Rex Magnus alone with an expressionless and unconcerned face.Without being hasty at all, Rex Magnus took his time to enter before turning his gaze to study the patient currently lying on the bed dismissively.Done with this, he glanced at the old man currently checking the patient’s pulse with a still utterly blank face.Without making a sound, Rex Magnus stepped to the side to watch further.“Mi… mister Du, plea… please, could… could you… you save father?”One of the three middle-aged men wearing expressions of extreme concern on their faces suddenly implored earnestly. This was instantly followed by the remaining two men and the young girl, all of whom began to give pitiful pleading looks.“Please mister Du, help us
***** Everybody was currently glaring ferociously at Rex Magnus with killing intent visible in their eyes, but like he doesn’t notice, Rex Magnus remained unfazed.To him, their killing intent that could scare ordinary people to death was nothing but the roaring of a fly before a huge elephant.Rex Magnus stared at the Old Man Du's face with a vacant expression and monotonously repeated his words, infuriating the elderly man even more. Just as the old man was about to spit angrily, two loud voices roared.“You… you… you, which son of a peasant are you? How dare a piece of trash like you curse my father, are you tired of living?”“You fucking brat, how dare you speak nonsense that Mister Du would kill my father, are you really that tired of being alive?”“Young man, please watch your mouth please, don’t do what would make your good turn evil!”Despite being the only person who was kind to Rex Magnus earlier, even the little girl’s father is extremely mad right now.He
***** As they witnessed the expression on Old Mister Du’s face and overheard his muttered words, all present except for Rex Magnus became struck with intense fear. Abruptly, they gathered around the patient whose state was deteriorating rapidly with each passing moment.“Father (boohoo!!) please hold on, please don’t die, we can’t do anything without you!”“Father Please don’t leave us like this, please!!! (Boohoo!)”“Grandpa, please don’t die yet, you still haven’t fulfilled your promise to me that you would be there at my wedding and make sure my husband wouldn’t bully me.”Although all this was witnessed by Rex Magnus and he was immediately filled with pity for them, he had promised himself to keep mute since nobody would believe him anyways.Promptly, he gazed at the hysterically trembling old man on the bed and shakes his head pitifully.‘Poor old man, he must be praying for a swift death in his subconscious mind right now due to the unendurable agony he must be
***** Upon hearing this, Rex Magnus reacted as though he had just heard the funniest joke in existence. He then shifted his gaze toward the middle-aged man and smiled slightly.‘Not even those millions of experts in all war forms were able to stop me, who do you think you are?’His gaze became contemptuous, but he was too lazy to say a word.It was at this moment that a little voice filled with shock sounded.“Look… look at grandpa, he… he seemed to be slowing down!”Everybody instantly became startled when they heard this and immediately turned their gazes toward the bed before becoming stunned to the core.As Rose had stuttered, the old man's trashing movement could be seen slowing down right now at a speed visible to the eyes.The intense movements caused everyone’s hearts to start pounding heavily in their chests as if they might jump out of their bodies at any moment.They watched quietly and unblinkingly.If not for their heartbeat making thunderous sounds, the w
***** Had Rex Magnus uttered what he just said previously, he would have been condemned to damnation by the three brothers, and the little girl Rose would definitely have thought he was being too much, but now, could they still think like that?Of cause no!They were presently gaping at Rex Magnus in disbelief not because he had declined to be the Old Mister Du’s teacher, but because he had accomplished what nobody believed he could.While the family was still busy being shocked, Old Mister Du spoke nervously after deliberating for a while which immediately dumbfounded everybody to their core.“Sir, I… I… I promise to be a good student. In fact, you don’t have to be my master, being your medical servant is enough by me!”As for Rex Magnus, he finally glanced away from the people still ogling at him like he was an alien and turned his gaze at the old man who was still kneeling on the floor before him.He felt nothing at all by this though.Emotionlessly and not giving a fu
