*****“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
***** Nobody could think or process anything again.Their hearts started roaring within their chest, and greediness began to surface in the eyes of most people.As for Fiona, it was only extreme bitterness that fills her heart right now.‘I’ve been pushed to the wall, and as it seems, I wouldn’t be able to escape this?’Had she been alone right now, she definitely would have teared up and started crying in misery.‘Could… could I still reject this?’Within the blink of an eye, Fiona's face became completely pale which instantly petrified Rash. ‘Have I said something wrong?’ His heart thundered, then nervously, he asked with a shaky voice. “Madam Johnson, are… are you okay?”When Ethan who’s currently on cloud 99 heard this subconsciously, he immediately became startled and hurriedly glanced at Fiona, then his heart skipped a bit.‘Don’t tell me this whore is going to reject this great gift because she was still hell-bent on rejecting the marriage that would change my
***** Today, it wasn’t only Rex Magnus that doesn’t go anywhere, Sally also stayed at home throughout the day, which was something she only does every once in the blue moon.Rex Magnus was completely taken aback by this development. Since moving into the villa, he could easily count on his fingers the number of times his mother-in-law had stayed indoors from sunrise to sunset without venturing out.Fortunately for him, his mother-in-law doesn’t seem to have his time throughout the day, so Rex Magnus' day had gone so peacefully that he had almost thought something was wrong with his mother-in-law.Never had he thought that what kept him and his mother-in-law indoors all day was because they were both waiting for Fiona's return home so that she could share with them the good news.Like usual every time he has nothing to do, Rex Magnus cultivated nonstop inside his room, as if his life depended on it until it was time for launch which he hurriedly prepared for his mother-in
***** Inside the kitchen, Rex Magnus suddenly became dumbfounded, then after a few seconds, he became confused. ‘Call me?’ ‘Ask for my help?’ ‘When was that?’ …....... “Daughter, what do you mean by those questions?” Sally suddenly glared hysterically at her daughter. “Oh!!! So you mean I should have kept quiet and watched you get demoted, hun?” She questioned exaggeratedly, looking as if she couldn’t believe her daughter. “YES, MOTHER!!! Fiona's voice suddenly raised slightly, startling her mother to the core. “Yes, Mother.” She repeated quietly, her eyes suddenly getting filled with unshed tears. “Do you… do you think brother and grandfather would be happy about this?” The moment Fiona asked this question, Sally emitted thick coldness which almost freeze Fiona's heart. “Oh!!! So this is about your brother and grandfather again, right?” “So you mean I should just continue watching as our lives get ruined, Hun?!” “So... I should have just kept muted as everything your b
***** Sally attempted to persuade her daughter, to call and express gratitude to Alan Bottoms before going to bed. However, Fiona remained unresponsive despite Sally’s persistent efforts. Consequently, Sally reluctantly made up her mind to contact Alan Bottoms herself, which she promptly did.….Inside the Bottoms family's Estate, in a huge bedroom.At this moment, Alan Bottom could be seen standing dumbfounded and stuck in his track with his eyes utterly filled to the brim with disbelief.Not only was he standing stuck, his phone could be seen still held against his ears, which showed that he just finished receiving a call. “How… how… how could that… how could that be possible?” He stuttered to himself unconsciously.“Did that shameless woman just say a representative of the Rodriguez family invited her daughter personally to receive from the projects?”No matter how much Alan Bottoms think about it, he couldn’t find any sense in what he just heard.Alan Bottoms was wel
**** 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
