**** “Brother, you sure you aren’t mistaken?” “Hun?” John's eyes widen when he heard his sister's question, then he watched her carefully to check if she wasn’t pranking him again. Realizing that his sister seemed to be dead serious, John rolled his eyes helplessly at her. “Dear elder sister, do you think I would make a costly mistake like that?” Scarlet instantly became further dumbfounded, then her mind refused to think again. Just at this moment, Christiana whom the crowd parted the way for finally arrived, then she bowed slightly to Scarlet whose eyes were unfocused right now. ‘Don’t tell me this is the case of the sister-in-law read-handily catching her brother's wife cheating on her brother.’ The guard behind Scarlet who is also currently flabbergasted couldn’t help but think with his mouth wide open. Thinking this, the guard abruptly glanced subconsciously at John's face, then at Bosham Stone's face, before his gaze eventually settled d
**** John suddenly smacked his lips together and gazed helplessly at his sister. “What a strange question from you, sister. The relationship between Mister Stones here and my babe is that of a big boss and a subordinate.”John explained, then seeing the deep frown that abruptly appeared on his sister's face, he thought she doesn’t understand him, so he explained further. “Sister, as I’d told you before while working in the media company which was chaired by Mister Stones here, I happen to be a unit director, which you already knew of. My babe works directly under me, the rest of the story, I’ve told you.”Both John and Christiana instantly couldn’t help but exchange gazes when John finished his story, then they both blushed hard before directly looking down at the same time.As for Scarlet, her face has become deathly pale right now.‘This shouldn’t be! This shouldn’t be! Why would my brother fall in love with a whore!’‘Of all ladies in the world, o
***** The moment Bucam Stones heard Scarlet’s words, he became nervous-stricken and thick beads of sweat instantly covered his entire body.“You… you can’t do this. What… what power do you have to… to make this decision, and… and have you forgotten that the partnership between your family and I is solely about business?” The middle-aged man’s voice trembled as him, but he tried as much as he could to show a courageous font.Once Scarlet heard him, she couldn’t help but become filled to the brim with anger, so she instantly mocked the middle-aged man before uttering coldly. “If those are your beliefs, then I can only tell you now that you shouldn’t worry much, our family's lawyer shall be the first person to contact you tomorrow morning.”Hearing this, Bucam Stones' heart instantly died, then his eyes became utterly unfocused.The rate at which he trembles started increasing. It was as if he would faint at any given moment if care if not taken.
**** ‘Why would a whole manager of this hotel whose identity could instill fear into everybody suddenly bow to him, and with the expression on his face, he wasn’t surprised?’ Both Fiona and Sally were currently filled with all sorts of thoughts, but they couldn’t and doesn’t know how to voice them out. With their hearts thumping loudly in their chests, they could only watch what was going on and do nothing. Never would they have known that Rex Magnus was actually as equally stunned as them right now. ‘How does she know that I own the so-called golden card?’ His face suddenly furrowed after a while as he studies the lady who was currently bowing and smiling respectfully & apologetically to him. Although he was feeling the sudden change in atmosphere within the hall and the gazes being given to him by everybody, he doesn’t give a damn. After studying Scarlet’s face for a while, Rex Magnus finally decided to show her what she was asking for, since he could feel her honesty. Makin
***** “Boohoo! Grandmother, would my suffering today be in vain?!” “Grand… grandmother, would… would that wench triumph over us just like that after stepping on your face?” “Please do something about it, don’t let that family you publicly denounced win and make you a liar!” “Mother, please something needed to be done as soon as possible, or else, wouldn’t you just be letting your grandson suffer like that from an outsider because of an outcast?” At this moment, within the Johnson family's estate. Although it was already very late into the night, the Old Matriarch's villa was still very crowded right now with everybody showing their unwillingness and unhappiness toward the Old Matriarch. Although it wasn’t exactly as it happened, the news of what occurred today has already spread out and various rumors have already been formed. Everybody, especially the members of the Johnson family had been shocked to death after the news of Fiona, a member of an outcast branch was made the CEO
**** “Sir, I’m very sorry about how rude I was earlier.” Rex Magnus who was presently lost in his thought instantly became startled when he heard this, then he raised his head. Seeing the person apologizing, Rex Magnus felt nothing, so he only nodded his head slightly since he hadn’t taken her behavior earlier seriously. But when Curtly saw Rex Magnus' dismissive response, she smiled remorsefully while thinking helplessly in her mind. ‘He doesn’t even give me any chance to speak.’ Curtly watched Rex Magnus' eyes that has turned away from hers, then she became embarrassed and doesn’t know what to do again. Just at that moment, Rex Magnus spoke, but not at her. “Wife, could you get back inside the car and let’s return home? The coldness outside is starting to become heavy.” Fiona Instantly blushed bashfully when she heard Rex Magnus' sudden words, then she couldn’t help but subconsciously gazed embarrassedly at her friend. As for Curtly, sh
**** The three women in the car began to scream hysterically while urging Rex Magnus to speed off. But would a whole Rex Magnus who’s the Divine General of an entire country be scared of some petty criminals who are trying to double-cross him? Of course, no! He wasn’t trying to be arrogant. This is just him being the real him, the Divine General who would still go even if he knew it was a suicide mission. Hearing the panic-stricken cries within the car, Rex Magnus' lips abruptly raised at both sides, then suddenly, instead of doing as the women within the car were screaming, Rex Magnus slowed down greatly, startling and scaring the ladies to the core. “Ah! What do you think you are doing? How dare you slow down? Do you want to get us killed?” with her heart pounding hysterically like a thunder's roar in her chest, Sally who was seated behind Rex Magnus began to pound Rex Magnus' chair while screaming at the top of her lungs fearfully and tearfully. Even Curtly had turned deathly
**** “So you’ve now seen what I meant earlier?” “Yes.” Hearing this conversation, Rex Magnus couldn’t help but pause slightly on his track. ‘Are these people looking down on me?’ It abruptly felt like a new term to him. Well, although he hadn’t had any fight since three years ago, the feeling of his enemies always panicking at the mere sight of him has long been engraved in his bones and marrows, so seeing the gangsters looking down on him right now made Rex Magnus feel an unknown emotion. After pausing for a while, Rex Magnus suddenly smirked slightly, then he resumed walking. From the beginning, the gangsters did not place Rex Magnus in their eyes at all. It was as if he doesn’t exist at all, to the extent that they even went so far as to start discussing him and even arguing about who would take care of him. Rex Magnus almost fell on his face when he heard this, but he remained calm before he eventually reached the gangsters, but
**** Potter City On a somewhat crowded street in a hot summer's afternoon, a young man in his late teens could be seen pedaling a bike as quickly as his legs would allow him.Looking at this young man, his body was already entirely drenched in sweat, and his attractive face, which was also completely covered in sweat beads was etched with fatigue.But despite this, the young man appeared unconcerned as the hastiness in his eyes was much more intense.He continued to cycle the bike hysterically as if his life depended on it, dodging both objects and creatures.The young man's eyes finally shone with intense light after a prolonged period of unceasing cycling, as if he had suddenly seen light at the end of a totally dark tunnel.The young man immediately increased his pedaling speed and applied more energy to his legs when he abruptly heard the unexpectedly loud vroom of an approaching car.The young man's delight first gave way to a bewildered and perplexed expression since he was ful
**** According to the diary left for Rex Magnus by May, the first time she betrayed him, she didn’t know that Rex Magnus was being planned to kill.What she was told was that they were trying to strip him of his power, and although it was also wrong, she had no choice because of her selfish reason, but she told Ronald about it, and it was Ronald who promised to protect their masters, so it wasn’t a betrayal.The reason why they were able to control her was because, when she was 19, she was drugged and raped by Rex Magnus' half-brother, and because everybody knew her feelings for Rex Magnus, she was threatened that they would report the case to Rex Magnus if she doesn’t do what they wanted.As for the second time, she had initially thought of refusing until she knew the name of the poison, so she made up her mind to apply it to Rex Magnus and tell him the entire truth after, but knowing that she wouldn't be able to face him again after the whole truth is out,
****The moment this was said, the place became silent and a heavy atmosphere descended.Just after a moment, nervous voices began to stutter.“You… you can’t do this… how… how dare you speak about honor when the master was still poisoned.”“If… if you're certain you want to give master a respectful death, why don’t you give him an antidote first?”They continued roaring and stuttering with fear while fidgeting and trying to break the enchanted chains used to restrain them, but Rex Magnus' brother acted like he doesn’t hear.Looking at everybody’s faces blankly for a while, he suddenly swiped out a knife from his pocket, then he turned around and walked unhurriedly to Rex Magnus.“This was all your fault,” he suddenly muttered to Rex Magnus that only he would hear.“You shouldn’t have made everybody feel scared, and more should you have made all those old fogeys feel like they were in control and not you.”He sighed, looking like a nice p
****“What… what happened to grandma?”Presently, Fiona has finally returned to her senses, but her head is currently ringing loudly while one of her palms is holding her mouth tightly with shock.She couldn’t believe what she was seeing at all.Her voice was what finally woke several people up from their stupor state, then instantly, Fiona's father, David jumped to his feet and rushed forward with two crimson red eyes, pointing his hand furiously and ferociously at Ethan.“How could you… how could you do this? Have you forgotten all the love, affection, and favoritism shown to you by Mother?”His voice was shaking so much that everybody could tell he was hiding a wave of indescribable anger and pain in him.As for Ethan who heard him, he doesn’t look remorseful nor furious, rather, he smiled coldly before laughing evilly and stepping on the body still oozing out blood.“She… huh?”He questioned playfully. “How could you say this old bitc
****“Dear brother, it’s been a while.”The young man suddenly smiled brightly after reaching Rex Magnus, but unfortunately, Rex Magnus couldn’t do a thing.Despite this, the look in his eyes already showed everything in his mind which only made the young man chuckle brightly.“Hahaha, yes, you have thought right, my dear brother. It was your sweet and precious May that poisoned you.”The moment Rex Magnus heard this, despite the great effort it took, he forced his eyes to gaze at May pleadingly, as if begging her to say it was a lie, but the moment he saw the look on her face, his eyes redden, and he would have been screaming ‘why’ right now if he was still at the control of his body.Although he already knew the truth, he still doesn’t want to believe it at all, so Rex Magnus continued gazing pleadingly at May despite his eyes having turned crimson red.Seeing this, the young man before Rex Magnus looked even greater.Smiling brightly, he co
**** “Hahaha, the ex-divine general does make jest of me,” the young man abruptly chuckled. “Who am I, how dare I claim myself to be the cousin of a like of you?” “Hehehe,” Rex Magnus also chuckled in return before finally glancing at all the faces his eyes could see, and the more he sees, the heavier his heart became and the more emotional he became. Even though he already learned that most of the people in the group had betrayed him, he still wasn’t able to handle the deep sadness and broken-heartedness within him. As for the people his gazes stayed longer upon, they knew that Rex Magnus has recognized them, but only a few of them has embarrassed expressions on their faces, as for the rest, their eyes were filled with mockery. After a while, Rex Magnus abruptly chuckled again. “I never knew why I was this blind in the past that I didn’t realize I was being hated upon by these many people.” “Hun?” Everyone abruptly looked flushed before
****Presently, Rex Magnus could be seen once again standing before his army with a stoic expression on his face.They were where they'd planned to meet after the success of the previous operation.“Are you all ready for the showdown?”He asked his army gently.“Yes, sir, we are all very ready, sir.” He was responded to by organized voices which made the ground around them tremble intensely.Without a change in expression, Rex Magnus looked at them more for a few minutes, the powerful and leadership aura still circulating him with full force, he nodded his head.“Okay then. We shall strictly follow the plan and tactics already made,” he uttered seriously this time around. “There is zero chance for a mistake, okay?”“Yes, sir.”With that, Rex Magnus and his men proceeded outside the city's gate, making everywhere they pass tremble.It was as if they’d turned into powerful beasts with the oppressive atmosphere spreading around them and
**** “Very soon, we shall split ourselves into groups, with each group under a general,” Rex Magnus who still doesn’t know the aura around him continued. “Now that we have the upper-hand of being in the dark while our enemies are in the bright space, we should make use of this well.” Like so, Rex Magnus continued speaking and giving orders until finally, everybody set out. All the soldiers were split equally under a general, leaving Rex Magnus and May alone. He watched calmly as the last group left, then he turned to May. “Our lives are now in your hands, please do monitor them and inform us of any changes.” “Hun?” May's eyes abruptly widen at this, then she trembled slightly. “Ma… master, this… this isn’t right, right?” It is now time for Rex Magnus to be stomped. He gazed strangely at May for a while before shaking his head slightly. “You are definitely acting strange. This isn’t the first time you would be doing th
**** “Team 32, any traces of that bastard?” “None as of yet, sir?” “Then continue watching and searching closely.” “Yes, sir.” “Oh, one more thing, never for any reason allow your group to be scattered, that bastard isn't something that should be taken lightly, okay?” “Yes, sir.” “Great.” (Beep.) …… “Hello sir, Team 54 is on the line.” “Team 54, any traces of that bastard?” “None, sir. According to all the coverages we’ve seen, he left his house this morning and…” ….. “Team 82, any traces of that bastard?” “None as of now, sir.” “Continue searching then. Make sure to search every inch of the city, okay?” “Yes, sir.” …… Presently, the entire Chase city is so quiet that one would think it had turned into an empty street if not for the thousands of armies that could be seen almost every minute. Apart from this, several aircraft could be seen flying to and fro in the sky, as if searching
