Jane was discussing the plan to everyone, which took a lengthy amount of time to properly formulate in order to avoid any kind of problems with the plan. Sett was also listening very closely as he was assigned a very crucial role in the plan. He was assigned as Azula’s compulsory plus one, which Azula agreed since Sett isn’t a Sapphire House subordinate.After everything fell into place, and everyone agreeing to their assigned positions, the meeting was finally adjourned. Azula dismissed the twelve and instructed them to start the preparations immediately, while letting Jane and Sett stay for there was something that she wishes to address to the both of them in private.As the twelve finally left the room, the atmosphere suddenly became breathable again, aside from the sudden silence that filled the air. Azula and Jane just sat there, not uttering a single word and just waiting on whoever breaks the silence first.Sett then thought of something mischievous that made him smirk.“Hey, A
On the wide streets of the City of Darian, a crowd of people could be seen whispering at each other as they watched the drama happening across the street near a prestigious hospital.A rather gorgeous lady with a pair of bright green eyes, indicating she's a foreigner.At that moment, she was shouting at a fat man whose weight could easily be compared to three adult men, and to add insult to injury, he was wearing worn-out clothes, making the gossiping crowd throw disgusting and judging eyes at him.Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed, as fatty Sett was slapped across the face by the gorgeous lady. "I've had enough with you, Sett!" She pointed at his nose. Her face brewed in rage."This marriage was a mistake! If I had known that you were useless and poor..... What kind of future could you even give me? I highly doubt you can accomplish anything in life. You're just a spineless coward who can't even talk back and defend himself against his family even after being bullied for so long! Are
"I know right? A poor fat guy like him should just castrate himself in some corner and not embarrass himself like this in public!" "Hey, do you think he’ll pick up the money after being humiliated like that?" "Him picking it up? That's hilarious! If he does that, then he would be throwing away his pride." A middle-aged man sneered. He was confident that Fatty wouldn't have the guts to pick up the money, not to mention while everyone's eyes were on him.At this point, the whole crowd of people was curious whether or not he would start picking the money up.Just then, lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, after that raindrops started pouring down making the crowd scatter to find shelter.On the other hand, fatty Sett just gazed upward, letting the raindrops roll down his cheeks. No one knew if it was just the rain or his silent cry.Under the dumbfounded gazes of the onlookers, Sett bent his body, with no sign of humiliation on his face, and started to pick up the scattered bills on
Sett didn’t know if he could endure this level of humiliation anymore. He knew that it was hopeless to fight Antonio, who was an amateur boxing champion and was once a representative from their senior high days. Sett doesn’t have a chance to win a fight against a guy like him."I’ll be waiting inside, Fatso. Oh, and don't you dare make Lucy and the others wait. Otherwise, I'll break your leg." Antonio eyed Sett dangerously. "Let's go, Anna."Sett struggled to get up while holding the ticket. This was the reason why he didn't want to get involved with his senior high school classmates anymore.Moments later, he was standing in front of the reserved room that was listed on the card he got from Antonio. He could already hear his classmate celebrating inside. He pulled all his courage together as he opened the room's door."Oi, oi, look who we have here; it's Fatso Sett! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and have a seat." A lanky man chuckles. Sett's attention was immediately draw
"I thought it would be nice to welcome a clown to the party, right?" Lucy giggled while everyone burst into laughter. "That's too cruel Lucy. But seriously, I'm glad that he left though, and you guys should also be glad. If he stayed here any longer, the place would smell like garlic and vinegar!" Upon hearing that, everyone bursts into another laughing spree while holding their stomachs, as they couldn't take any more “Fatty Sett jokes”. However, on the other side of the door. Sett was still standing there, listening to their whole conversation. "I thought you weren’t like the rest of them, Lucy." Sett let out a heavy sigh of disappointment. “I guess I was wrong.” he added as he started to walk towards the exit. Lucy was a female friend of his in senior high. She had always defended him against Antonio and the others who were bullying him. But little did Sett know, that unfortunately, people change. He couldn't even recognize her gentle characteristics anymore after what happene
"Umm, I don’t want to be rude but, there must have been some kind of mistake, Ms. Scarlett. My name isn't Mr. Crow. My name is Sett Crossword. I came from the Crossword family of Darian City. I don't know anything about the Crow family, so can you please let me go?" Sett blurted out nervously. As much as he wished to spend more time with Ms. Scarlett, he had to leave, in fear of what this group of strangers would do to him?"Don't be nervous, Mr. Crow. Rest assured, we aren't a hostile group. I was sent by the Crow family to be your aid.""Then there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Why do you keep insisting that I'm Mr. Crow? " Sett smiled warily. "Because you are." Scarlett confidently said. The look on her face implied that she was absolutely certain of it. Sett's mouth twitched. Was this lady toying with him? They should have investigated him first before jumping to conclusions that he is the so-called "Mr. Crow" or something. He took a deep breath as it was already past
At this time, Ms. Scarlett handed the camera directly to Sett's palm. As he turned on the video recording, his mind was filled with confusion as he saw a white-bearded man gradually stripping his tuxedo with his bare hands, revealing his extremely macular back which was identical to an ancient Greek titan named Atlas! Sett raised his brows. Why the h*ck is this guy stripping? "He is your grandfather, Mark Crow." Ms. Scarlett stated calmly. "Wait, that's him?! I thought he was old?” Sett surprisingly said. Ms. Scarlett slightly raised the edge of her lips. "Indeed, the president is old. I think he was eighty years old when this video was taken." "What?!" Sett was awestruck. Is that even the physique of a fre*cking eighty-year-old man? Wouldn't that put other bodybuilders to shame? His grandpa could even win the Mr. Olympia award! But what concerns him the most, was they do have undeniably similar faces. Just then, Sett noticed a birthmark on the back of his grandfather, which was
"What?!" Sett's face was imprinted with horror as he heard his sister's frantic screams along with the sound of something breaking and men shouting in the background. Damn it! Sett cursed as he clenched his jaw in anger. They better pray that his sister and the others are alright! He already knew who the masterminds behind this. It’s none other than his aunt and uncle. He always hated them to the core, as they were quite sadistic. The Crossword main household had already confiscated all of his parents' properties, and the only thing they had left was an old, dilapidated mansion. Nonetheless, they keep forcing them to sell the old mansion! They were just too much. Sett let out a breath along with a worried expression on his face. "Ms. Scarlett, ask your men to hurry up! I'm worried that something bad may happen to my sister. I won't be able to forgive myself." Ms. Scarlett nodded to assure Sett as she commanded the driver to pick up speed. Sett anxiously gazes at the faraway h
