There was a brief stillness in the air and everyone could feel it. Just then, Don Alfonso makes his appearance as he steps forward, breaking the silence."Now, now everyone should calm down first, and not trouble one another." Don Alfonso flashed a smile at his men, although he appeared to be genuinely concerned and his men believed him. Unfortunately, not everyone was having the same game as him."Where is my wife?" Sett solemnly spoke, while still clenching the left side of his head. He wasn't planning on beating around the bush."What are you talking about?" Don Alfonso replied, feigning ignorance. He even turned to one of the elders and said. "Did you see his wife?""Family head, it is unfortunate, but we don't know anything about his wife." The first elder said, bowing to Don Alfonso as he retreated."See, I told you we don't know anything about your wife." Don Alfonso told Sett, with a big smile glued on his face. His acting was just too good that even Ivan doubted for a second
No one would have thought that despite the two young masters fighting against a single unknown individual, they would still lose. Every member of the Ratherford family was stunned and speechless.At the same time, they were also disappointed by the result. After all, it was their young master that was beaten up. One was injured while the other was being held, hostage.However, Don Alfonso and the elderly had gloomy expressions on their faces. That was to be expected, as they were the ones that had given approval for the fight, and it ended up being catastrophic.But there was something that had been bothering them about how the Crossword family managed to train a monster like Sett. Wasn't that family supposed to be a third-rate family? A family that could barely maintain their position by sucking up to others? How in the world did they create a genius...."Don't make me repeat myself, Don Alfonso, because... I'm losing it." Sett spoke in a frightening tone. He could barely hold himsel
Seeing Glenn and his men suddenly blocking his path made Sett standstill; nevertheless, he didn't take off his unfeeling eyes at Don Alfonso, who was on the ground, appearing miserable. This would make one wonder if he was still the hero of the City of Darian that everyone knew and respected. "...." Sett maintained his silence without any hint of expression on his face.Glenn could be seen clicking his tongue. It was beyond him that his uncle, who was a military man, would be pushed this far by a mere nobody! This was getting on his nerves. Should he just ask his guards to kill him? That shouldn't be difficult with their strength, right?Just then..."!" Glenn was surprised as he caught a glimpse of the dead bodies behind Sett, and they were mostly elderly members of the Ratherford family. But what really caught his attention was the grey-robed elder who was lying beside Sett. It was the second elder!Is this b*stard still human? How could he get rid of the second elder on top of a
"Nice to meet you." A shadowy silhouette stood up from the couch while slowly revealing herself. From the outline of her body, one could tell that she had a fine figure that men would undoubtedly desire.Sheila was beyond terrified. It was the least of her expectations that someone would sneak behind her. It was the light bulb fault that caused him to not notice the woman inside at all. Well, no one could really blame her reaction in this situation."Who are you? Sheila uttered while she slowly took a step back toward the door. While she was at it, she didn't forget to secretly grab a flower glass on the glass table. Since it was dark, she was confident that she wouldn't be noticed.Ms. Scarlett completely revealed herself from the dull and dark area of the room, showing herself. She scrutinized Sheila from top to bottom before she smiled faintly. "How have you been? Mrs. Sheila Laurel?""Huh?" Sheila covered her pale lips in surprise. She unintentionally blurted out. "You're that la
"Do you know those two ladies?""Nope, haven't seen them... Only now."The Ratherford family juniors start gossiping among themselves, trying to find out who these fine-looking ladies were. It was the Ratherfords' ordinary members' first time seeing Sheila and Ms. Scarlett...They could hardly believe that two young women, one of whom was showing too much skin for the eye, would suddenly come out of the mansion's main door. All said and done, what does this all mean? Actually, it was simple... And they were no fools. That Sett's claim that he was looking for his wife was true and that it was their family head who did it! They are the ones at fault. Why did this conflict happen in the first place?It was no wonder why the husband was hell-bent on getting at them. His reason was valid... They could only look with pity in their eyes at Sett, who was under the relentless attack of the combined attack of the remaining elders of the Ratherford family and Glenn's elite bodyguards.On the
The roar of Don Alfonso could be heard loud and clear. It was as if he had come back to his prime when he was still a colonel! He was showing them that he hadn't lost his edge! Then, one by one, whether it was a woman or a man, an adult or a child, they began to bring out whatever weapon they could grab or consider a weapon. Their eyes were filled with determination as they closed their distance toward Sett and the others. Ms. Scarlett couldn't help but deepen her frown. Indeed, it was true that they would have a hard time escaping with all the thousands of people surrounding them, not to mention that they were armed. Don Alfonso shouted hysterically at Sett, as though he had gone insane. He pointed at Sett. "It's because of you!" Hatred was apparent in his eyes as he glared at the unconscious Sett, who was being carried by Ivan on the shoulder. "Uncle, we should silence them first, otherwise the authorities would realize there was a large tragedy that happened." Glenn chimed in
"Our first encounter at the supermarket. At first, I was doubtful of your appearance, but currently, I've confirmed it." Glenn grinned from ear to ear as he was dragged by the fierce-looking bodyguards in front of Ms. Scarlett, who was presently glaring a dagger at him. If stares could kill, he would have died a thousand times!"You... are a descendant of the Scarlett Family!" Glenn spoke sharply.Listening to this trash made Ms. Scarlett narrow her eyes. Truthfully, she already expected this much that someday, somehow, people would recognize her for who she really was. Especially scumbags like this person in front of her."How did you know?" Ms. Scarlett was quite curious about Glenn's real identity and how he found out about her. 'Although I'm using my real surname, it doesn't mean that gives him full confidence about my identity...'"Pfft, are you thinking about how I found out? It's pretty simple." Glenn paused as he glanced at Ms. Scarlett's blond hair before proceeding to speak.
"Sir Lee, how is my brother?" Nini anxiously asked while holding the hem of her uniform. Sir Lee didn't answer immediately as he wiped the sweat on his forehead while cleaning and putting the silver needles on the golden box.Finishing that, he frowned deeply while gazing intently at Sett as he mumbled softly. 'This is my first time witnessing such an incredible physique. Even now, his recovery is fast... This is surreal! I should take a sample...'Sir Lee was tempted to take Sett's blood when suddenly he remembered Ms. Scarlett when the two of them were having a discussion in his clinic. Just before she entrusted this young man's body to him, her words kept resounding in his ears."Don't do anything beyond your duty, otherwise I will hunt you down." Ms. Scarlett expressed herself, and when she was about to leave, she didn't forget to pin a knife on his table. "Doctor Lee, I hope you remember that and consider this a warning."Just then, Sir Lee, who was unknowingly petrified, heard
