***** While Rex Magnus was busily thinking in his mind, Fiona who understood what her mother was uttering could be seen looking completely brokenhearted right now with a dreadful smile on her face.‘Back then, I was married to him by my brother and grandfather without my consent. Now again, my mother and grandmother wished to marry me to another person without caring about my thought and opinion.’Fiona couldn’t help but suddenly gaze at Rex Magnus with accusation painting in her eyes heavily.‘He caused all these!’“Three seconds to go!”Sally’s voice suddenly woke Rex Magnus and Fiona up.But before they could react, Sally's voice already sounded again, with greater excitement. “One second left!”Fiona and Rex Magnus instantly became deeply scared. But just as Sally was about to call out; ‘time up', a tune began to play, startling the trio to their core.But still, Sally managed to say it after one second.With that, a relieved and excited look appeared on her fac
*****“Sorry grandmother, my wife is sick right now and wouldn’t be able to come.”The instant the Old Matriarch heard this, she knew who owns the voice.At first, she became flabbergasted to the extent that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, then she became overwhelmed with excessive furiousness.‘Did that bastard just tell me that that wench wouldn’t be able to respond to my call?’Just as the Old Matriarch was being thunderstruck, she heard a sound that sent her heart into a stupor state.Without knowing what to think, she checked the screen of her phone, then immediately, she became thunderstruck.“Did… did that… that bastard just hung the phone on me?” She muttered to herself unbelievably.It took about ten minutes later before The Old Matriarch eventually returned to her senses, and when she finally does, she felt as if she would die from anger, her brain forgetting to recall that Rex Magnus was still supposed to be locked in jail.……Back at Fiona's Villa.
***** Hearing his wife’s question, David didn’t respond nor show any intention of doing so.Of cause, he was smart, so he already had a strong feeling that his daughter and her husband already has a tacit understanding between themselves.Also, seeing how his daughter was acting, the haunch became stronger, so David decided to say nothing.As for Fiona, she simply doesn’t know what to tell her mother, so she could only give Rex Magnus a helpless gaze.Seeing this, Rex Magnus immediately became speechless.‘Look at her, although she was clearly asking for help, the look in her eyes is still as cold as ever.’After thinking this, Rex Magnus gazed back at his mother-in-law.“Mother, I really meant what I said.”“You…”Seeing as his mother-in-law is about to start flaming up again, Rex Magnus immediately interjected. “Mother, I actually didn’t lose the wager we just had.”The instant Sally heard this, the look on her face changed, suddenly becoming contemptuous and fil
*****“Good… good day Aunty.”Although Ethan's face was still pale, it is now more vibrant than how it had been before he left the company.Despite the smile not reaching his eyes at all, Ethan still tried his best to smile, but Sally doesn’t notice.Right now, she was just too stunned to react.It was as if she was dreaming.Although Sally still doesn’t quite believe in Rex Magnus' claim, she knew that for Ethan who is like the Old Matriarch's representative to come to them, nothing is simple at all.Back inside.While Sally was currently dumbfounded, Fiona could be seen gazing at her husband with a bright light shining in her eyes right now.‘Was this a coincidence?’ She thought, but the more she saw the blank and almost irritating look on Rex Magnus' face, the more her mind told her that Rex Magnus has something to do with Ethan's visit.‘But how could this be possible?’Of cause, Fiona thought she knew her husband's capability because they’d been living together for mor
*****“I said my wife can’t follow you, she is currently sick.”The instant Ethan heard Rex Magnus repeat what he just said, he became stomped.Subconsciously, he gazed at Fiona, but the instant he saw the look on her face, his eyes widen for a few seconds.“Nonsense!!” Ethan abruptly bellowed furiously, his voice loud enough that it forcefully woke Sally up from her stupor state.“What shit are you spouting from your f*cking mouth? Who are you useless piece of shit to tell me such a goddamned obvious lie!”All the feelings Ethan has been hiding since he got there immediately drilled out of him with full force, spreading across the entire living room.“Hehehe, I see that you people have taken the main family as a joke!”He continued ferociously, making Sally who just returned to her senses and was currently trying to comprehend things instantly understand forcefully.Sally.The instant she understood what just occurred, her body trembled intensely.Then filled to the brim w
***** At this moment, although Ethan was still filled to the bring with fear for Rivers Rodriguez and his two aides, it doesn’t stop him from fabricating hateful lies after returning to the office.Upon hearing them, the Old Matriarch who had been trying all her possible best to keep herself calm and composed all along became furious to the core.“Mister, hope… hope you heard that, have… have you realized we aren’t at fault now?”The Old Matriarch suddenly gazed expectantly at Rivers Rodriguez as if she thought they now has the upper hand, but unfortunately for her, the moment she saw the unchanging expression on Rivers Rodriguez’s face, she became disappointed.‘It looked likes he's hell-bent on helping that family, no matter what!’Sighing dreadfully to herself, the Old Matriarch decided to calm herself down first while convincing herself in her mind. ‘I'm doing this for the betterment of the family.’After a few seconds, she stood up before speaking out.“I would go
***** Still gazing at the general's face, nobody knew that his mind was currently so dark and mutilated compared to the look present on his face.With a smiling face, the General listened attentively to the arrangements being given to him.After everything was finally said, he suddenly smiled brightly before lowering his head respectfully.“Thank you, sirs. Your arrangements are the best.”With a respectful voice, he voiced out.“As long as we keep on torturing his personal soldiers that wouldn’t yield, then in no time, we would conquer everything.” Hearing this, the non-militant men nodded their heads expressionlessly before giving more orders.All of a sudden, the door to the conference room was knocked.Instantly realizing that it could only mean one thing, everybody's hearts abruptly skipped a bit, then an expectant look appeared on their faces.“Come in,” General Ren ordered.After giving the order, a lady in military uniform came in and saluted everybody resp
‘Did… did mother just give in?’Sally almost couldn’t believe what she heard, but the Old Matriarch doesn’t seem to care.Walking past her, she entered the villa.Seeing this, Rex Magnus only smirked coldly. ‘You should thank your star that you are my wife's and brother's grandmother. I wouldn’t have given you this chance otherwise.’After sighing softly, he also followed behind the Old Matriarch.Suddenly, Rex Magnus' footsteps fettered, then a nervous look that could gain the pitifulness of the most heartless person in the world appeared on his face.With his heart thundering in his chest, Rex Magnus was just about to cry out in alarm and rush toward his wife when suddenly, he saw her secretly winking at him.‘Was… was that made-up?’Rex Magnus almost couldn’t believe it.Secretly, he wiped the beads of sweat that has instantly appeared on his face and once again gazed at his wife fearfully.Just now, he was almost scared to death when he saw the sickly look on his wife's
**** 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
