Instantly Damian's body froze, honestly he had never been treated this humiliated by others, it seemed he had to feel this kind of humiliation to increase his motivation to avenge himself on the person who had ruined his life.
"Mom, what are you doing?!" Wendy got up from her position while pounding on the dining table, she could not understand what her stepmother had done.
Damian also held Wendy's hand while shaking his head, "It's okay, I'm sure your family will be surprised by my arrival," Damian said while quietly glancing around.
Damian could see that no one objected to what Wendy's stepmother had done to him, in fact it seemed like they were happy with the way she treated him. Damian could only sigh softly, not expecting this family to be kind to him in the future.
"You go back to your room Wendy and take your husband away. His presence only brings a bad atmosphere." This time Wendy's father also spoke up and waved his hand to drive the two of them out of his way.
Seeing that no one was on her side there Wendy clenched her fists in annoyance, she didn't expect their reaction to be this bad, even though she was just getting back at her overbearing stepmother.
"Sorry for messing up your dinner, Mr. Clayton." Damian also got up from his chair while bowing his head apologetically, then he carefully pulled Wendy to leave there.
Before Damian had gone far from the dining room, he had heard how the other Clayton family members had mocked him with very inappropriate words. Damian could only smile softly, it seemed like this was his reward for being arrogant and arbitrary when he was still in power.
"Where's your room? I think we should be together from now on," Damian said, stopping his steps after he was far enough from the dining room. He didn't know where to go because this was his first time coming to the Clayton family home.
Instead of an answer Wendy sighed, "I guess you don't mind the humiliation my family gives me?" Wendy glanced at Damian unpleasantly, she felt guilty for involving Damian with her crazy family.
"That's the risk I had to take after I accepted your offer that time. Can I ask you for something in return?" Damian had thought of something to carry out his plan and for that he needed a little help from Wendy.
After looking around Wendy said, "Don't say it here, come with me!"
Damian then followed Wendy who led him towards the upper floor of this large mansion. Damian also thought that Wendy seemed to be taking him to her room to discuss her previous words.
And sure enough, Damian was taken to Wendy's reading room. Damian seated himself comfortably there, waiting for Wendy to let him speak up about his request.
"So what do you want?" said Wendy matter-of-factly, she was quite curious about what Damian might ask of her.
"Can you hire me?" Damian immediately said what he had been thinking about for a long time.
Wendy frowned in confusion, "Are you sure about your request?" Wendy honestly did not expect Damian to ask her to do this.
"Yes, I'm serious. If you hire me, then I can move around freely. You know there's something I have to do about the accident that happened to me earlier," Damian replied casually, he didn't mind working for Wendy at all as long as he could plan it well.
"If you really want to, then you can be one of my bodyguards. And yes you can do whatever you want, your job is just for display. I won't mind if you do," Wendy replied, nodding her head in agreement with Damian's request.
Damian was able to breathe a sigh of relief after Wendy agreed to his request, this way all he had to do was look for acquaintances to help him find the information he needed.
. . .
After discussing his work problems Damian was able to join Wendy as her bodyguard today, before leaving together with Wendy to Wendy's own company Damian decided to watch the television in the living room.
Actually Damian wanted to see if the accident that happened to him was shown on the news and sure enough the news shown on the television was an accident incident in the mountains of the area where he lived.
"That's right they didn't let on that I had disappeared, not even as a victim," Damian muttered with a smirk, he was now convinced that there really was a traitor within his mafia group.
Although Damian himself understood that there were some people who didn't like him who took over the Estrado family's mafia group. Damian was honestly used to the hatred directed at him, so he always acted as he pleased so that those who hated him would not dare to do anything to him.
However, it seems that Damian's thoughts were not right because he almost died because of someone who wanted him dead. Too lost in his thoughts Damian didn't realise someone was coming towards him.
"I thought you had left here my beloved brother-in-law. Apparently you're mentally tough enough to think of staying here," one of Wendy's older brothers said in a condescending tone to Damian.
"Do you need anything?" asked Damian, not really thinking about George's words.
George snorted in annoyance when he heard Damian dare to speak to him, "Go get my coffee, it's really stifling to see you here!" George pulled Damian off the couch and shooed him away.
Irritated Damian clenched his fists tightly, trying to be patient and not do anything to harm him. Silently Damian left the living room to go get the coffee George was talking about.
"How sad that you can only endure, without being able to do anything," George said in a fairly strong voice, deliberately doing so so Damian could hear what he was saying.
When Damian went into the kitchen he immediately asked the maid, "Where's the coffee for George?" he asked kindly.
However, what Damian got was a condescending look from the maid and she handed him a cup of coffee in a very unfriendly manner. In fact, Damian was almost doused by the coffee if he didn't hold the cup deftly.
Without waiting too long Damian left, worried that the maid would throw hot water on his face if he stayed around the kitchen.
When he returned to the living room with the coffee George had requested, Damian didn't expect someone from behind him to deliberately nudge his arm so hard that the coffee he was carrying was thrown.
And unfortunately the coffee splashes and also the broken glass hit George who was relaxing in the living room, Damian immediately looked at the fallen coffee with horror, he already knew that bad luck would soon come to him this time.
George got up from his position angrily, it was obvious from his face that he was furious with what Damian had done to him. With quick steps George walked towards Damian and without saying anything George immediately kicked Damian's shin causing him to fall to the floor. Not only that, George started kicking Damian's stomach who had fallen down, "Feel that shit! How dare you dirty my clothes, useless people like you are better off dead!" roared George angrily while continuing to kick Damian who could only protect himself. "A bastard like you deserves it," said Sarah - George's younger sister - laughing happily as she watched George beat the helpless Damian on the floor. "It's still early, but you're making me angry. Don't you want to come with me to finish this bastard off, Sarah?!" George stepped on the side of Damian's face this time with a creepy grin on his face. "You better cut the noise, George. You'll be in trouble if Wendy sees what you're doing to her," Sarah said, cho
To get to the Black Market Damian had to climb down what seemed like endless stairs and the surroundings were very dark with the only illumination coming from the candles hanging on the walls. In the distance Damian saw a conscious light and that's when he realised he had arrived. Behind the thin black curtain that separated the area Damian could see that the Black Market was quite crowded this time. Since Damian already had his destination in mind, he walked leisurely towards the west. Damian tightened the hood of the hoodie he was wearing, he didn't want anyone to recognize him here. Although Damian rarely came to the Black Market before, still he had done a lot of business with people who often came here. "I hope that person won't reject my presence," Damian murmured, feeling quite worried because he came here without telling his friend. However, no matter how much Damian worried it wouldn't help because he had to see for himself what would happen later when he met his frie
Although still confused by the information Roderick had provided earlier, Damian was quite satisfied with the information he had gotten this time and he also found a way to contact Roderick without having to come back here. After finishing his business with Roderick, Damian immediately left the Black Market, because he didn't want people to be suspicious of him if he hung around there any longer. After all, Damian realised that he had talked with Roderick for too long and now that it was late afternoon, he had to return to Wendy. Although Wendy didn't require Damian to return at what time, he still knew to do his job well. Although Damian used to be known for his bad behaviour, at least he was a responsible man, so he had to come back now. After changing his clothes back into his neat suit, Damian returned to Wendy's private luxury boutique. When Damian arrived in front of Wendy's boutique, he immediately stepped inside but his steps were immediately stopped by someone. Damian
As Wendy had said yesterday, Damian had to be prepared because the Clayton family wanted to throw a banquet party for his wedding with Wendy. And Damian believed that the Clayton family intended to embarrass him at the party. Damian didn't want that to happen because it would make his position difficult in the Clayton family. "System, can you help me?" Damian asked his system. [Indeed, what does the Host need right now?] "I can't be humiliated at the party. Can you do something for me?" Damian hoped that the system would give him something. Right now since Damian was completely down and he didn't have the wealth he had before, he desperately needed money right now. [Actually, the System did not want to give the Host a mission yet. But, if the Host really wanted to make money, the System could give the Host a mission] "Sure, I'll do it!" Damian was determined to make money this time. Ding! [Mission has appeared! Prevent yourself from being humiliated today (0/3) Doing good to
It just so happened that today Wendy did not go to her boutique and she intended to go around to choose materials that would be stocked in her boutique. Therefore Wendy asked Damian to go with her and not bring many people with them. "So where are you going?" asked Damian, not expecting Wendy not to go to her company. "Can we go to the economic district in the city centre? There's a shop I often attend to," replied Wendy happily, finally able to release some of her stress. "Okay." Damian nodded his head. Then, Damian opened the door for Wendy, after which he turned around and got into the car. With that, Damian drove the car to the place Wendy told him about. It could be said that this was the first time they went out together after Damian entered the Clayton family. . . . Unlike what Damian thought, the place Wendy was going to was very luxurious and he just knew there was a place like this. It was understandable that Damian was not too interested in anything other t
Seeing the suspicious gesture, Damian immediately restrained the man's hand that intended to hit the middle-aged woman. The rude man gave Damian a sharp look, not expecting Damian to actually interfere with his problems with the middle-aged woman. "Damn bastard! How dare you bother me!" The man glared at Damian, completely pissed off at this point. "Look who's the bastard here." Damian rolled his eyes lazily at the man's words. Before throwing the man's hand Damian gripped it firmly making the man groan in pain, only after hearing that did he throw the man's hand. \ The man fell to the ground miserably, he intended to reply to Damian but was immediately silenced when he saw the look Damian gave him. "Go away, or do you want to feel my punch?" Damian glanced at the man from the tail of his eyes while grinning. Having already sensed Damian's strength, the man let out an annoyed chuckle, then quickly ran away from there. Damian finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw
Fortunately after leaving Veronica's boutique nothing interesting happened again, when he got home in the evening Damian was finally able to relax for a while. Today Damian successfully completed the quest that the system gave him and as the system said before he would get a reward. However, Damian was quite busy today so he hadn't checked what reward he got after completing the quest. "System, how can I check the reward from the quest you gave me?" asked Damian who was on the balcony of his and Wendy's room. [The host can open the mailbox and view the notifications there] Damian immediately followed the instructions that the system told him. When Damian called the mailbox, a transparent interface appeared in front of him. And there was an unread message there Damian clicked on the message and he heard a notification start buzzing inside his head. [Congratulations! Host successfully completed the Quest. System will send the Host a reward soon!] Damian frowned as he was s
As Wendy had said earlier, the Clayton mansion was starting to get busy with preparations for the party that would be held in the hall in the mansion. As everyone was busy with the party preparations Damian's life was peaceful for the past few days as no one bothered him. But, of course Damian knew that Wendy's family members were preparing a trap for him and intended to humiliate him at the party. Damian would not let that happen, especially with the money he had gotten from the system earlier. With this Damian could prepare his plan so as not to be humiliated by the Clayton family members. Earlier by chance Damian had attracted the attention of the Weston family who could have helped him gather information about the incident that almost took his life. It was time for Damian to make a move to draw them into his fold. Damian had already told Roderick to find useful information about the Westons. "They must be coming to the party tonight. I need to get their attention an
Seeing so many people coming up to them to congratulate Damian thought that they still didn't know who he was. And it was times like this that Wendy's brothers would take advantage of this time to embarrass her in front of these people. "Congratulations on your wedding, it's a shame you didn't let the public see your wedding." "Why are you getting married in such secrecy?" "By the way, we've never seen you, young man. What family are you from?" The corners of Damian's lips twitched when he heard how noisy these people were, even though he could see that Wendy felt the same way as him. Wendy also tried to put on her best smile even though she felt very resentful of the situation that she and Damian were currently in. "We prefer to have a simple wedding," Wendy replied hoping that her answer would shut these people up and not ask her anymore. And that's when Damian saw from the tail of his eye George starting to walk towards them from behind. Damian pulled Wendy closer to him an
Seeing so much attention on them, Wendy tightened her grip on Damian.With sure steps they walked into the large hall that had been filled with many people.In the center of the room Damian could see Clayton's family gathered there, he could feel how they were looking at him right now.Although they seemed to be smiling at their arrival, Damian knew for sure that the intentions of the smiles were not good for him.Not only that, Damian could see their eyes looking at him still with their usual condescending gaze.Wendy, who knew that their situation would be very difficult after this, began to whisper to Damian."Are you okay? We have to get to them," Wendy whispered, still staring ahead with a confident smile on her face."I'm used to it so it's no problem. But, your family really invited all the important people in town," Damian replied with a soft chuckle.The Clayton family was great, a small party for Damian and Wendy's wedding announcement alone they could gather all the importa
