*****
Inside Fiona's villa, in the living room.Sally could be seen seated quietly on a couch, looking completely lost in her thoughts right now.Like the previous day, it was until Rex Magnus left the house that she finally got the courage to exit her coupe and come downstairs.Even she herself doesn’t know the reason why she was scared of facing Rex Magnus because honestly, she still doesn’t want Rex Magnus to be her son-in-law no matter what.‘That brat, although he was the reason I became the biggest winner amongst my friends, wasn’t his arrogant a little out of this world?’Sally thought for the umpteenth time today.‘That bastard, how dare he even hide the fact that he has a connection with such important people to us that has been feeding, clothing, and sheltering him all these years? No wonder I never liked him before. He’s nothing but a great betrayal,’ Sally thought again, her face also alternating again for the umpteenth time to**** “What's that doing there?” “Hun?” Fiona became startled and raised an eye at Alan Bottoms. “You don’t know?” “Yes, Aunty.” He responded like someone who was extremely confused. Suddenly, he smacked his head as though he just remembered something. “Those useless attendants. It must be the receipt. Didn’t I tell them I don’t need one? How dare they embarrass me like this?” Sally who heard only the first part of Alan Bottoms' words was already looking at the piece of paper in her hand when suddenly, her eyes widen and her breathing quickened. “One… one and a half million dollars?” …….. “You fool. I will close my eyes now. But before I open them, I want you to be gone, you are fired.” Back inside the boutique where Rex Magnus and his wife were shopping, right now, their surrounding was already crowded with people watching what was going on interestingly. “Miss Amery, please I’m sorry, please don’t fire me, I was… I was only try
***** “Look, are this old man and his granddaughter too blind to read into things? How dare they come to greet someone at a time like this? Shouldn’t they be trying to hide their faces or denying that they know this person right now?”The crowd began to snicker and mock the Old man and Rose right now as if they were fools.Even Fiona couldn’t help but look at the old man and young girl duo in amazement, wondering where they got their courage.As for Dan Tego and Amery right now, they were already completely out of their wits, and their bodies started trembling all over as strong adrenaline began to crawl all over their skin with fear and defeat.“Big brother Rex, how have you been, what are you doing here inside the ladies’ boutique?”As if Rose was extremely familiar with Rex Magnus and as though she doesn’t see all the security guards currently glaring ferociously at her, she started bombarding him with tons of questions.Thankfully, Rex Magnus
****‘What are these people's identities?!!!!!’As for Rex Magnus, when he saw the curious expression on Rose’s face, he smiled brightly at her before responding casually. “Well… I followed my wife to buy clothes here, then after filling our charts and was about to go to the other sections, we were told to vacate the boutique because some extraordinary VVIP wants to do some shopping with their babe.”Although Rex Magnus only spoke casually, it was filled to the brim with sarcasm to everybody's ears.“Are… are you big brother Rex's wife?”Rose who hadn’t heard the remaining of Rex Magnus' words suddenly turned to glance at Fiona.The moment she saw her extremely beautiful she is, her eyes widen before brightening, then she walked to her and questioned.Seeing the huge pair of eyes filled with shock and adoration suddenly gazing at herself, Fiona's heart became weak for a few seconds, then she suddenly has the urge to pinch the cute face.But up
**** On their way home, Fiona who had been extremely excited at the boutique was so quiet in the car that Rex Magnus swear that something bad was cooking.Not knowing if he should ask her about it or not, Rex Magnus drove also in silence until they finally reached home.Right now, Rex Magnus was just parking at their designated parking lot at home when suddenly, he felt a hot gaze on him.Startled by this, he hurriedly glanced at his side, then he saw that the gaze belongs to Fiona.On her right now was a thick frown and deliberating look, making Rex Magnus finally have no choice but to ask what was on his mind.“Wife, what’s going on?”Fiona's eyes abruptly trembled slightly as if she just returned to her senses, then she sighed heavily before looking down for a second and looking back at Rex Magnus' face.Just as Rex Magnus was about to give up, thinking his wife wouldn’t speak, her voice sounded. “Who are you?”Not expecting this so
**** After roaring furiously, Sally stormed toward the door as if she was going to bash the driver. And when Rex Magnus saw that she was definitely going to get badly hurt if was to collide with him since he was standing in the way and she was storming in his direction, he quickly shifted to a side, then he exchanged gazes with his wife.“I’m very sorry about that,” Fiona suddenly apologized from the bottom of her heart, looking sad.“It's okay, I’m already used to it.”“Hello madamé, I’m here from TFS Boutique to deliver some goods to Miss Johnson, is she around?”The duo husband and wife couldn’t help but instantly pause slightly before exchanging amazed gazes.“That was quite fast,” Fiona muttered while Rex Magnus nodded honestly, then the two exited the mansion, only for them to meet the currently overtly excited and enthusiastic Sally.“Wow! You are here to deliver dresses for my daughter with such a huge truck, did she buy the whole bout
*****The next day being on Sunday, the only day of the week when Rex Magnus is free to stay in his room until 5 am and Sally rests comfortably in her room before going downstairs to examine Rex Magnus' work.But this particular morning, Rex Magnus' eyes suddenly shot open upon hearing a knock at the entrance of his room (the store), where he had only just fallen asleep thirty minutes ago.Even though Rex Magnus had been behaving very normally ever since May had warned him that some people would soon be searching for him, only he knew how anxious and terrified he had been. As a result, he had been mostly cultivating at every given opportunity he has since that day.Since that time, he had been training nonstop and had hardly gotten approximately two hours of rest every day,Just as Rex Magnus was wondering who had entered, the light in the store came on, making him seat up like a squirrel, then he squinted his eyes due to the unexpected brightness.
"Do you just mention that your grandma woke you up because of what she had requested two days prior?"Fiona immediately sighed heavily when she heard this, then she bent her head softly, resembling someone who had been bullied with a sad expression on her face.Seeing this, Rex Magnus suddenly took in a big breath and nodded, vowing in his thoughts to make the entire Johnson family regret their impulsive decision in the near future."Could you hand over your phone to me for a moment?"Rex Magnus asked and Fiona's immediately offered her phone gladly because she had anticipated this, then Rex Magnus turned around and went to get the golden card he had dropped somewhere after returning from the hotel a few days ago.Even though he was aware that it wasn't yet dawn, he contacted the number nonetheless since he would sacrifice anything for his wife and the call was answered after only ringing twice."I would like the agreement between your busines
*****And as is already known, that particular day, Ethan and the Old Matriarch both went haughtily to Fiona's house, but when they arrived, they encountered something quite different and left violently.It was Rex Magnus who opened the door for the pair, and when they entered, they saw Fiona who was deeply absorbed in watching a Korean romance series with a big smile on her face.When she realized that there are unexpected visitors present, Fiona became so anxious that she rushed to greet her grandmother, who acted as if she doesn't hear her greeting and arrogantly told Fiona to follow her back to resume working.The amount of haughtiness displayed by the Old Matriarch and Ethan who could be seen seeping forth undisguised venom shocked even Rex Magnus, who had been treated like an empty air at the rear.Smiling wryly at this, Rex Magus took it upon himself to speak with them right away, and he stated, "For the time being, my wife wouldn't be reporting t
**** 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
