“Boohoo! Little cousin, why were you this late?! Why?”“How could you be this late? Do you know, your father was such a great man that had sacrificed his life to protect every one of us here?”“Where have you been all these years, hun? Your father and all the soldier of the families waited for your arrival to lead us through the tragedy that met us tonight!”The more he hears, the more Lean Bottoms realized his thought was very real, then gradually, his face became completely cold with no traces of warmth left.Squinting his eyes with all he could, Lean Bottoms abruptly clenched his fists forcefully, making them release cracking sounds.Unknowingly for him, a thick and intense coldness had begun to emit from his body and spread around the entire hall, sending everybody trembling and shivering like they had been placed inside a million years old ice.A low growl suddenly sounded from his mouth, instantly turning everybody's legs to jellies.****Lean Bottoms' eyes suddenly widen, then abruptly, he ordered the old man before him“I need you to arrange for the best living environment within the estate ASAP. We have some extremely important visitors, and they must be satisfied or else, I shall do to you what I just did to them.”Hearing the threat, the old man trembled greatly, then his eyes gazed at the four men almost in death positions and scurried off.Just as he left, the people making the thunderous footsteps eventually arrived, startling everybody to the core.Although the footsteps had sounded like the people coming were up to a thousand organized people, they were only a bit more than a hundred.“You little brat, have you forgotten we are… hun?”The rude voice speaking abruptly made a startled sound, then his eyes gazed around the hall.“Wow! Beautiful, what beautiful ladies are this!”Lean Bottoms, “_”He had thought the leader was about to ask what had happened
***** The next day, the news of the Bottoms family's evilness spread wide like a fire in the city, garnering all sorts of furiousness from the citizens.This piece of unexpected news was a great shocker to all ordinary citizens.Although they didn’t understand most of the things in the news, they understood the part of the Bottoms family having abducted thousands of people just to torture them to death all in the name of training.Just as the citizens were busy sending the family all sorts of massive and heartless curses, another piece of news was released, and with this, more than half of the City became relieved, excited, and confused.This piece of news released mentioned everything Lean Bottoms ordered the Old Butler to report last night.It also spoke of how the corpse of the previous Patriarch would be offered to the vultures to consume and the endless hellish wishes they gave him in the underworld.The people felt that the family deserves what they got, so all the
****Just as Rex Magnus' voice sounded, the figure scurrying ahead came to a full stop.It was as if a remote button has been pressed on her, then slowly, she turned to gaze at where the voice originated.Seeing the current expression on her face and her crimson red and fear-filed eyes, Rex Magnus' heart clenched painfully within him.Just as he was about to ask her what was going on, the Figure bolted hysterically at him before jumping directly into his arms and shivering.It was as if someone just chased her out of her nightmare to the real world.Seeing his wife's behavior, Rex Magnus doesn’t have the time to think of nonsense at all.Of course, he knew what was going on with his wife, so the expression on his face Immediately darken as he became filled with concern.‘It was that bastard's fault!’He cried in his mind with strong killing intent.‘The punishment he was receiving right now is so little compared to what he deserves!’Poor Alan Bottoms.If he were to know w
****“How sure are you of this news?”“About 99.9 percent, sire general.”“Great, you’ve done an amazingly great job for the country, and you shall be awarded heavily after the mission is over.”“Yes, sire General, thank you sire general, I was only doing my duty as your soldier, sire General.”“Good, you should make sure to keep monitoring the betrayal till I contact you, okay?”“Yes, sire general, I shall do that.”“Good, then.”(Beep)Presently, inside the private conference room within the army base of the capital city, the new general, several of his underlines, and several of the powerful people in the country could be seen seated gazing at the conference table top.It was the new general that just spoke on the phone with someone while everybody listened quietly.Although the call has now ended, everybody was still extremely quiet with their own thought.But the wide grin in their eyes and on their faces is enough to tell how great they all were feeling right now, an
****Everybody became confused and abruptly turned to study the middle-aged high-ranking soldier, their face filled with disbelief.Of course, they knew exactly how much the Divine general's men adores and respects him until he was proclaimed to be dead, so it sounded quite disbelieving to them that he had actually been betrayed long ago.Everybody began to exchange gazes, trying to see if it wasn’t only them that found this not believable.Seeing this, a cold light flashed in the general's face while an indescribable smirk formed on his face.‘You old fools, you really think I amount to nothing, right? Don’t worry, after that bastard is taken out of the way, I shall find a way to destroy you all and unify your families till I become the sole owner of Divine Country.’Thinking of this, the general's breathing quickened.Poor all the powerful people in the country.It was this fear they had of Rex Magnus previously that made them betray and schemed against him.They felt he wa
**** Not knowing that the identity of the person they were searching for is already leaked, apart from Lean Bottoms, everybody that returned from the capital city was still extremely busy right now, searching for hints and ways to get his identity.They searched high and low for any strange persons who doesn’t resemble a normal human being, but no matter how much they investigate, what they found doesn’t satisfy their searches at all.It later got to an extent where several of the families began to team up and invest their powers to get what they want, but unfortunately for them, even when they got him, they automatically filtered him away, thinking there is no way for Rex Magnus to be the arrogant ex-divine general they were searching for.Receiving all these, Lean couldn’t help but smirk coldly at him.Not even his immediate leader has he told him about his finding.Being the selfish person he is, Lean felt no need to share his findings with anybody, so apart from exchangin
****Nighttime, Fiona's villa.Right now, the family of four could be seen seated facing each other around the dining table, having their supper.Like people that have zero care in the world, both David and Sally were presently stuffing each other with blissful looks on their faces.As for Fiona and Rex Magus, their faces were currently tightly furrowed.Like someone that has the entire world on his mind, Rex Magnus could be seen playing with his chopsticks while his eyes were gazing unfocused into space.This was how he had been acting since he returned home this afternoon, and Fiona had long noticed which was why her face was also currently tightly furrowed.If not because she had been forcefully controlling herself, she would have long asked what was in her mind, but right now, it look like she finally couldn’t keep quiet anymore.Ever since she knew Rex Magnus, she had never seen him like this before, looking like someone had a piece of extremely bad news he doesn’t know h
**** Presently, the inside of the living room is populated and filled to the brim with two contradictory atmospheres.All the popular generals under Rex Magnus who strike intense fear in people's hearts and souls were currently laughing, joking, and roaring at the top of their lungs, clearly in excellent moods.As for Fiona, Sally, and David, their mouths and eyes still hadn’t closed, they had even become several times wider after hearing the most unbelievable thing in their entire lives.They hadn’t reacted even once, no matter how much joke or roar of laughter was made by the men.They just sat there, looking thunderstruck and lifeless with their emotions out to see.As for Rex Magnus, looking at his wife, mother-in-law, and father-in-law, he doesn’t know what to say or feel anymore.Half of him is presently covered with pride while the other half is filled with embarrassment.He watched as they gazed dumbly at him as if he was some beast of sorts.“So you really are
