***** Fiona's mind continued to think all sorts of things, but scared of disturbing her thoughts, the two aides kept quiet, all through. As for the Old Matriarch, if gaze alone could kill right now, Fiona would have already been butchered more than a thousand times since she arrived. Apart from giving Fiona a murderous look, the Old Matriarch’s gazes also contained strong warnings and threats. It was as if she was trying to convene Fiona that she must reject everything offered to her, but unfortunately for her, Fiona was too shocked right now to notice her gazes at all. As for Ethan, his mouth was utterly completely dried right now, and his face has already become ghostly-paled. ‘Noooo I don’t want to accept this! I can’t accept this! Nooooo' He kept howling and crying in his mind, but unfortunately for him, he doesn’t dare to make his thoughts known outside. It is only those that glance at him right now would understand his feeling. Ethan’s fists were tightly clenched and h
***** Rex Magnus wasn’t shocked nor startled at all when he heard his wife’s sudden question since he was already expecting it.Smiling softly at her, Rex Magnus began gently. “Knowing the sort of person grandmother is, I already arranged this day even before the contract was signed.”“Hun?”Fiona immediately became confused, not understanding what Rex Magnus was talking about. “Before the contract was signed?”“Yes.” Rex Magnus suddenly smiled smugly as if he was showing off to his wife.Poor Rex Magnus, he still doesn’t know he has to explain everything to his wife.Upon hearing Rex Magnus' response, Fiona suddenly felt some butterflies flying in her stomach and she became happy. “So it wasn’t that he doesn’t care.” She sighed softly. “Although he knew he doesn’t have the power and capability to help me with the unachievable task then, he still does everything he could to protect me.”Glancing secretly at her husband’s f
*****“Would mother hurt my daughter?”Sally asked the space before her again for the umpteenth time today.“I shouldn’t have allowed that useless and worthless piece of shit to follow her. I should have done that myself so that I would be able to protect my daughter well.”Sally suddenly doesn’t know what to do anymore.She had been like this since Fiona and Rex Magnus followed the Old Matriarch.Just as Sally was busily blaming herself and pacing about, her face became further furrowed. “What if Grandmother really does something untoward to my daughter, what would do?”The moment she thought this, her body shivered all over.“No! I can’t just watch quietly and do nothing, right?”The moment she made up her mind, Sally’s eyes regained focus, then instantly, she scurried up the staircase and banged the bedroom door open, startling her husband.But the moment David whose eyes were initially closed saw who it was, she once again closed
***** Not acting like her usual self, Sally ignored both Rex Magnus and Fiona, treating them as if they didn’t exist.Well, this was exactly the peace that has long been forgotten by Rex Magnus, so it took him a while to adapt to it.Poor Rex Magnus, he even thought something has gone wrong with his mother-in-law, so he secretly checked her health.It was until he was certain that she was fine does he finally become relieved.……Immediately they got home, Fiona went to her bedroom to change her dress while Rex Magnus went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for the entire house.At first, Rex Magnus thought his mother-in-law wouldn’t be interested in the meal he prepared since she was ignoring him, but thankfully, he added hers, because she was the first person to rush toward the dining room immediately after the meal was served.After keeping her silence for a long while, Sally eventually spoke just after everybody finished the
***** Fiona became dumbfounded when she realized her mother was speaking to her, but she immediately shook her head with disappointment.“But mother, that’s the case.” Rex Magnus added when he realized that his wife was going to be insulted by his mother-in-law.“Shut Your Trash You Fool!” Sally snapped at Rex Magnus once she heard his words while glaring ferociously at him as if she was going to gorge out his eyes if he dares to speak another nonsense. “Do you think I'm also a fool like her?” Her eyes began to shoot out flames again. “No! You need to go back to strengthen your black magic, it would never work on me!”Seeing her mother like this, Fiona became further disappointed, then she gazed at her mother for a while more before she eventually opened her mouth with a letdown sigh.“Mother, do you even care about anything related to the wager other than how we would divorce each other?”“Shut your mouth you brat!” Sally growled in respon
***** “He should have been arrested, right?” Presently, Alan Bottoms could be seen sunbathing beside a swimming pool, even though the sun has already set. “It should have been Six pm already, right?” His face suddenly furrowed, then instantly, he sat up straight. Stretching like a lazy cat, he picked up his phone which was on a stool beside him, and checked its screen. “Wasn’t it 5:20 the last time I checked, how could it still be 5:25, why is time extremely slow today?” He murmured disappointedly to himself before he returned the phone and laid himself down again. ‘Getting to the venue earlier would make it look like I’m desperate, and that doesn’t befit my status.' Alan Bottoms thought with a slight smile on his face, then he shut his eyes again to enjoy the after-sun heat. Suddenly, Alan Bottoms heard rushed footsteps approaching him, but apart from only straining his ears, he acted as if he heard nothing. “Young Master, you are here,”
*****“I’m honestly disappointed in you,” he began emotionlessly.“I’ve thought you were already a disappointment since you couldn’t achieve anything with your life, but female?” His voice suddenly became filled with disgust.“Females that are so useless, you couldn’t even get them? It wasn’t even one from a powerful family, but a third-rated family. You are such a disappointment.”Hearing his father’s words, it was as if Alan Bottoms was getting sliced slowly with a dead-edged knife.Unexplainable pain, anger, and unwillingness filled him, but he couldn’t do anything other than listen.Of cause, the middle-aged man noticed all this, but he doesn’t give a single damn.After making his second son realize how extremely useless he is and would be with hundreds of words, the middle-aged man finally calmed down and sighed heavily.“I’m giving you only one week, you must get that girl and marry her.”Alan Bottoms, “_”He finally couldn’t
***** Rex Magnus couldn’t help but become confused after hearing his mother-in-law's strange question and seeing the strange look she was giving him, then he scratched his head awkwardly.“Of cause not, mother. I know clearly that we are attending a gathering of your friend's daughter’s wedding proposal ceremony”Immediately Sally heard this, a contemptuous look appeared on her face, then she thought for a while before smiling mockingly.“Well, you dressing like this is not necessarily a bad thing, it would only make people know clearly your position,” she uttered jovially before skipping to her room, leaving behind the confused Rex Magnus.Not understanding what his mother-in-law meant, Rex Magnus checked himself from his chest to his feet, then he shook his head speechlessly.“She was initially an extraordinary being, why would I even bother myself understanding her in the first place?” Rex Magnus muttered sarcastically to himself before he f
**** 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
