**** “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
****“Hey… hey, don’t you dare go too far, the board of directors isn’t what they like of you and I could speak anyhow to.” Ethan suddenly warned seriously, but Fiona doesn’t give a damn.She continued coldly, without looking moved at all. “For me to be an ordinary font, a cover for my cousin here?”Nobody responded to this, but their gazes already spoke volumes, so Fiona giggled softly before her expression reverted to its usual coldness.“You know what, you guys are free to return to your so-called board of directors and tell them that I, Fiona Johnson might accept and be many things, but I shall never be a puppet.”Finished spatting this, Fiona sat back again and booted the computer before her, showing that she was no longer interested in the ongoing discussion.As for the group of people standing before her, they’ve become dumbfounded to the core right now as Fiona's emotionless voice reverberates in their minds.It was only after a while do t
*****“I'm… I'm okay master, you… you didn’t hurt me,” May tried to force a bright smile upon her face, but it only made her look like an intensely injured person who was trying to appear okay.Also, although she tried her best to sound alright, it was easier for anybody who heard her voice to tell that she was currently everything but okay, which only made Rex Magnus more pained.“I… I…. I… How could I hurt you?! Why hadn’t I controlled myself?! Why had I lost my emotion because of those that don’t deserve it while harming one of the only few people who stood by me?” Anxiously, Rex Magnus became filled to the brim with self-reproach, pent-up hatred, and regret.When May felt this intense care from Rex Magnus, although her entire body was still feeling like it would break apart, thousands of joy already boomed within her, then she smiled brightly, despite the pain she was still going through.Yes, she felt a strong heartache at the mare sight of the remorse
