“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
**** It was only until this time those the nineteen people became relieved. “You are the best, leader.” “I knew that leader would never let any harm befall us.” “Leader, we would support you for the rest of our lives.” Hearing all this, Ethan became excited inside. ‘That fool, she thought she was smart by trying to make herself the company's savior, she doesn’t know that she was just a big idiot. Does she think I too I’m excited about how deeply corrupted everybody is, of cause not, but how else would they given me their undying support?’ ……. While Rex Magnus has finally unknowingly gotten through the betrayals of his trusted ones thanks to the accident he caused May, Fiona was currently busy emitting thick coldness right now as she typed hysterically on the industrial calculator on her desk. Right now, stacks of hardcover books could also be seen scattered all over the desk, while her lunchbox which was at the side remained untouched.
*****“Are you telling me that someone almost killed the people you sent to do the task I gave you?”Presently, inside a dining room, with ear pods inside his ears, Alan Bottoms could be seen speaking coldly while cutting a nicely cooked juicy steak and placing it in his mouth.Although he did this, if one was to look at him well, they would realize that his hands were currently trembling so much, a testament to how furious he presently is.He listened to the person on the other side of the call for a while as he chewed the steak in his mouth.All of a sudden, he sighed deeply before ordering. “I don’t care how you do it. And if it’s to increase money, I would double the money I initially paid. I want my mission to be completed before next weekend, okay?”“Great.”With that, Alan Bottoms suddenly removed the two ear pods in his ear and flung them away with frustration.After that, he abruptly clenched his fists forcefully, making the veins und
****“Welcome became home, grandson, how was your day today.”“It was so bad grandmother. I almost died at work many times today.”Hearing this, the Old Matriarch directly showed a caring expression before she abruptly glared coldly at Fiona.“Sorry grandson. Of course, I understood what you must have gone through today, but don’t worry, I promise that everything would soon return to normal, don’t worry.”Ethan’s lips Immediately raised slightly, forming an arch when he heard his grandmother’s promise, but he quickly controlled it and thank her.It was at this moment the crowd behind Ethan finally stepped forward to greet the Old Matriarch.“Good evening, grandmother.”“Good evening, grandmother. Hope I met you well?”“Hello, grandmother….”“Grandmother, good….”“Grand….”With each person greeting her, the smile on the Old Matriarch widens, and in no time, she was already grinning from face to face.“Welcome back you
**** 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
