*****“What! Are you searching for me?”Upon careful listening, Rex Magnus finally discerned that the voice originated from a petite speaker affixed to the edifice adjacent to the colossal gate.“Great!” An exclamation suddenly sounded from the speaker. “Now that you see, I will ask you again. Who are you and what do you seek from the Rodriguez family?”Rex Magnus immediately became further confused when he heard the laziness in the voice. ‘Am I in a different place from the one being feared by everybody?’Just as Rex Magnus finished thinking like this, he heard several footsteps approaching the gate from the inside, then he watched closely.The moment Rex Magnus saw the owners of the disorganized footsteps, his mouth twitched repeatedly.“Hey you, are you deaf? I’m asking you, what are you looking for in the Rodriguez family estate?”“Brat, don’t you know that you're on private property? Do you so much wish to lose an arm or a leg?”They began to bombard Rex Magnus with tons
*****“Sir Medicine God?”The fool-like men glanced at each other's faces, looking all lost when they heard the term used by their second master and the shock in his voice, but Cliff Rodriguez couldn’t care about that right now.“You Fools!!! How dare you make The Sir Medicine God Wait outside?”He glared ferociously at the men behind him, making them tremble in fear.“Sir… sir, we… we..”“We What? Hun! You still dare to talk back to me instead of going to open the gate, do you want me to break that mouth of yours for you?” The Rodriguez family's second brother snapped at the person who just spoke, making him instantly run anxiously to open the gate.“Sir Medicine God!!! Where have you been since morning, I’ve searched the entire city for you, but you were nowhere to be found!”Rex Magnus became confused when he saw how the person who had been all rude to him last night behave.‘Is this still the rude guy who angered me to the core last night?’Just as the gate opened, Cliff
*****“Lord Savior! Lord Savior!! How dare this old one at the point of death carry your esteemed self to my little rat house?”The moment Rex Magnus heard this, he felt a headache coming, then he thought helplessly in his mind. ‘That shameless man must have taken his behavior from his old man.’Just as Rex Magnus finished thinking like this, the owner of the voice arrived.It was the old man whom Rex Magnus saved last night. Seeing him now, his look was countless times different than the last time Rex Magnus saw him.He’s looking healthy and vibrant that one would think he wasn’t the same person as the previous night.Not only this. The grey hairs on his head had reduced slightly, although not much, and lastly, his face has turned slightly younger.Not to be rude, Rex Magnus stand up and stepped forward. “Hope sir is now okay?”“Ah! Yes… yes, lord savior. I’m more than okay, and I could swear with my life that today is the first day I’ve felt alive for years now.”“Hmm…” R
***** Several hours ago, before Rex Magnus left his wife's workplace, Fiona Johnson returned to her office amidst everybody's ridiculing and contemptuous gazes, which she didn’t see and wouldn’t have cared about had she noticed, because of the greater issue weighing her mind down.After getting to her Office, she began to think nonstop about how to change her new fate of being demoted to an ordinary receptionist, but no matter how much she thinks, she understood well that she definitely wouldn’t be able to achieve her grandmother's task.Well... It wasn’t her fault for giving up without trying because she knew too well how impossible the task is.It’s like an ordinary mortal who wants to go collect something from an immortal that resides in the immortal world, is that even possible? So Fiona doesn’t even bother trying at all.Left with no alternative, she could only call her mother and plead for her to follow her to the family's estate to go apologise to the Matriarch.Bu
*****“STOP IT, MUM! Stop it already, please. You want to call that person, right? Go ahead. Go ahead and call him. You are free to ask for his help on my behalf.”Finished scrambling this, Fiona jumped to her feet and scurried upstairs into her room.Despite her behaving in this way, her mother’s words had taken on a life of their own in her heart. Consequently, she will always unconsciously ponder them henceforth.As for Sally. Seeing her daughter running away, she suddenly opened her mouth to call her back, but no word would leave her mouth, so she ended up sighing deeply after a while.All of a sudden, when she was still mulling things, a deep voice sounded behind her and startled her to the core.“Do you think this thing you’re doing to our daughter is good?”Turning to glance at the speaker, it was a middle-aged man whose head has surprisingly become filled with grey hair and whose face was filled with unkempt hair, standing there and looking like a homeless man.Seeing
***** “You bastard! Where the hell did you go that makes you not prepare dinner?!” This was what Sally used to welcome Rex Magnus the moment she opened the door for him, and when Rex Magnus heard this, his eyes widen. It had completely slipped his mind that if not for being reminded just now, he would have forgotten completely. Well, it wasn’t like it was his fault though, he had been busy trying to help his wife since morning, so forgetting was justifiable. Rex Magnus scratched his head awkwardly and apologized. “Mother-in-law, I'm very sorry. I was too busy today, so I forgot.” Had Rex Magnus known what was coming, he would have rather not talked because the moment he finished apologizing, his mother-in-law began to spit flame. “You Trash, you useless piece of shit that should have been wasted since your mother had you in her stomach! How could you have forgotten your responsibility as the slave of this family, ehn? Tell me.” Rex Magnus instantly felt a great headache coming
*****'Did mother-in-law sleep on the wrong side of the bed?’ Unable to process what was going on, Rex Magnus could only round up his chores hurriedly. Just as he finished, he heard rushed footsteps coming down the staircase, then he instantly scurried out of the kitchen with his wife's launch box in hand. Although he couldn’t understand why she has been rushing to work since yesterday, he wouldn’t ask. “Good morning, wife.” Just as Fiona who was dressed in a black pencil skirt, green shirt, and a pair of office heels heard Rex Magnus, she paused to give him a freezing look, then she ignored him completely. Snatching her launch box from Rex Magnus, she rushed out. “Baby, could you wait for a moment, I have an enormous good news to report to you.” Sally rushed after Fiona, but right now, Rex Magnus has become too confused to notice. “When did I offend this cold girl again?” His brows furrowed. After thinking it over and over again but unable to understand what was going on, R
(Author's note: I'm very sorry about the issue that occurred in the last chapter. It has now been rectified and if you hadn't seen it yet, you can refer to the previous chapter, the real chapter 40 has replaced the repeated chapter and you wouldn't be paying to unlock it again if you've already unlocked it, thank you all for reading.)***** Everybody's heads turned in Fiona's direction when they heard her voice, then instantly, all sorts of expressions began to appear on their faces.Just now, apart from Ethan, some fast thinker had guessed, and although it was just an ordinary guess, they’d rather believe in such than believe that Fiona had a sort of connection she had used to make someone from the Rodriguez family search for her.So, apart from the complicated expressions that appeared on the fast thinkers' faces, enviousness, hatred, and excitement could be seen on the remaining people's faces at this moment.“Cousin, you are here.” Ethan suddenly called out jovially
