***** Not long ago, Rose's father who had driven Rex Magnus home returned to the hospital and as soon as he laid eyes on his awakened father, he became flooded with a myriad of emotions and he instantly ran to his father's side with tears in his eyes. However, to his surprise, his father responded with a loud and angry outburst.Indeed, while the middle-aged man remained at Rex Magnus' residence, his daughter had recounted everything that occurred after her grandpa lost consciousness without altering a single word.……At this moment, inside the hospital ward.As if they were sinners receiving judgments, the three brothers could be seen standing with their heads lowered and their hands folded before them, and on the bed at their front was an old man who no longer in any way resembled someone who had just gone through a death door seated with an aggressive look on his face Beside the old man sat his precious granddaughter who could be seen currently gazing at her father and
***** Hearing their father & grandfather's roar and seeing how he was acting, the four inside the ward became flabbergasted. But thinking of the sort of life he had lived previously since they could and couldn’t remember, they became emotional.Thankfully, the ward provided for them was the best in the hospital, so it was naturally soundproofed which made them not to have disturbed anybody with their roars and movements since the beginning.After laughing, screaming, tearing up, and jumping for a while, the old man eventually stopped.Breathing at the top of his lungs, he turned to glance at his eldest son.“First thing tomorrow morning, including all the extended family members and immediate family members, we are going to my savior’s house to thank and appreciate him.”The eldest son who heard this instantly trembled.‘Fa… father, ple… please don’t… don’t do that.”“WHAT!!!”The old man's eyes instantly widen exaggeratedly.“You brat, what do you mean by saying I shoul
***** As usual, Rex Magnus rose early the following day at 4:00 am to do all the household tasks and cook breakfast for his father-in-law who rarely left his room, his wife who was headed to work, and his mother-in-law before she left to visit her friends.Poor Rex Magnus. Although the villa wasn’t huge, it wasn’t a place a single person should be cleaning, and there had been three professional cleaners that comes to clean it every few days and do the laundry then, it had stopped exactly the day he moved in.Apart from initially being good at cooking, Rex Magnus hadn’t been used to the tasks at first.That’s right. Rex Magnus was so good at cooking that if he claims himself to be a king at it, only a few people would dare claim themselves as the emperor. It was also because of his extraordinary talent for cooking that made his mother-in-law order him to go help out prepare the old matriarch's Birthday Feast the previous day.But that was that. when it comes to house chores,
*****“Hun?”Rex Magnus couldn’t help but become stomped when he heard all the curses and insults that just came out of his mother-in-law's mouth and saw her redden eyes.Poor him, although he doesn’t register everything, his mother-in-law doesn’t seem to be done with him yet.“You bastard, you are dead today!! You're just so dead already! How dare a useless thing worst than a dog’s shit like you speak to me anyhow? I must do everything in my capacity to convince my daughter to divorce you bastard who might go so far as to beat me up in the future!”Rex Magnus' eyes instantly widen when he heard this, then he became helpless.Although he doesn’t say what she accused him of saying, Rex Magnus doesn’t want to start his day badly today, so he decided to just apologize once and for all.He breathed in deeply with a resigned look on his face.“Mother, I’m sorry, okay? I shouldn’t have said you were a liar or blind.”Poor Rex Magnus. With him admitting to that, his day wouldn’t star
*****“Is this the time an ordinary assistance be resuming work?”Inside the Johnson family's company, a small company within Chase City, in the resources department, a tiny department in the company. At this moment, a young lady whose face was painted heavily with makeup could be seen glaring at Fiona Jonson with disdain and contempt in her eyes.Hearing how rude the lady was, Fiona who just entered and hadn't had an encounter with her before couldn’t help but glance behind her, thinking the lady was speaking to someone else, but seeing that everybody was only gazing at them with nobody looking to be the one being spoken to, Fiona became confused.She hesitated for a few seconds before pointing to her chest and asking blankly. “Perhaps, ma'am is speaking to me?”The lady with heavy makeup on her face immediately glared even more furiously at Fiona when she heard her question.“No- no, I’m speaking to myself, you useless assistant acting like the boss and reporting to work at
*****‘I guess my life just start getting worst now,’ Fiona smiled sadly before dropping her handbag and lunchbox on the ground.Then she glanced at the shelf, not knowing where to start.Had it been to just arrange the books, it would have been way easier, but arranging them in alphabetical order, means, she has to go through all these books first and decide which alphabet was before which before she could start arranging them, and no mistake must be made.Perhaps, if the books had been a little over a hundred, it would have also been easier to do, but with the huge shelf of disorganized books she was presently gazing at, she felt it would contain almost or beyond a thousand copies of all kinds of books.Fiona suddenly almost teared up, but she controlled herself forcefully before breathing in deeply and started taking down all the books from the huge shelf one after the other.Seeing this, the lady with heavy makeup on smiled extremely joyfully, then she took out her iPhone 11
***** Back in Crests Company, the Johnson family's companyAfter working herself tirelessly nonstop for more than three hours, Fiona finally finished arranging the huge shelf neatly.With sweat covering her face, she admired her work.Throughout all this, her fellow employees in the resources department had been giving her all sorts of pitiful and complicated gazes, wondering what she had done to deserve this punishment she was receiving.Also, almost everybody within the company has heard of her punishment and were all filled with the same question, just that none of them dares to question Fiona.When she was still extremely busy, the Resource department manager had gone several times to check on her, and the more miserable she sees her look, the more excited she became.She had also taken several pictures of Fiona and sent them to Ethan who in turn kept praising her and continued changing his phone's wallpaper every minute.Poor Fiona, she knew nothing at all.Because
As Fiona poses her question, Alan Bottoms felt a slight tremble in his heart at the sound of her chilly voice. However, in a sudden turn of events, his smile grew wider.‘Is she trying to play a hard-to-get game with me?’Instantly, Alan Bottoms felt a great adventurous spirit boom within him, but he controlled himself well so that he wouldn’t smile in a perverted way.“Actually, I was only passing by your company when I realized you must be around, so I decided to say hi to you.”The moment all the ladies present heard this, they became filled with envy and their stomachs with butterflies, but what could they do other than watch and gasp?As for Fiona, her face only became frostier. ‘How could he have stopped me from having my meal because of such a foolish reason?’ She thought coldly.Of cause, she wasn’t that dumb to believe Alan Bottoms' excuse and so was everybody present.But not being in the mood to entertain him, Fiona acted as if she doesn’t know he had lied.“
**** 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
