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
**** At this moment, the eyes of the three women in the car have become incredibly huge as they gaped at the scene outside with shock, then they subconsciously covered their mouths, while Fiona who had been fighting nonstop to go join Rex Magnus earlier became completely still. The same situation could be seen outside the car. Listening to the hair-standing cries was making strong chills crawl over the gangsters’ skins right now. None of them knew what just happened because they hadn’t paid any attention to what had transpired between the Blade guy and Rex Magnus as they had been busily filled with unhappiness that their boss had given their tasks to another person. As for their boss who had only barely paid attention, even he doesn’t know what happened at all. He couldn’t help but swallow slightly, wondering how Rex Magnus was able to push his huge underline away. After gaping at Rex Magnus for a while, the boss eventually glanced at the dude wh
**** ‘Curtly's body was trembling ever so slightly right now with excitement while her little heart began to pound like a drum in her chest, but Rex Magnus doesn’t notice and he wouldn’t even have cared had he noticed. He started the car and put it to drive mode, then he navigated around the gangsters that are still howling miserably on the ground and the van parked before them before he eventually hit the free highway again. The intense silence in the car resumed, and apart from the continuous thundering heartbeats, the only sound that was heard was that of the car's muffled engine, thanks to all the raised windows. Just as Rex Magnus reached a few distances away from where they had been double-crossed, he saw three speeding police vehicles approaching with their sirens on, then a strong frown appeared on his face. “Is this a coincidence or had someone reported us?” Just as Rex Magnus muttered this, a quiet and embarrassed voice sounded behind him. “I… I was the one that calle
**** By the next morning, everything has already pretty much returned to normal, except for Sally that refused to show herself to Rex Magnus no matter what.As for Fiona, Rex Magnus was able to tell that she was somehow acting a little uncomfortable with him and that she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask him which she probably doesn’t know how to.After Rex Magnus finished his morning chores and his wife left for work, he finally set out.It was until he left the Villa those Sally who had hidden herself inside her room eventually came out.Heaving out a deep sigh of relief, she scurried into the kitchen to carry her food which was already dished by Rex Magnus before he left the villa, then she rushed back to her room as if she was being chased.As for Rex Magnus, after leaving the Villa with no idea of what had transpired, he went to the coffee shop which was his and May's meeting place.Upon getting there, he contacted her through the
