“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
