What the doctor meant was obvious. He had already collected the DNA sample of Marjorie’s first love.A while later, Sigmund came back. He was surprised at the sight of Javier but greeted him with a hang of head, “Javier.”Javier studied Sigmund for a bit, seeing the kid change during his time in Xerxes Village. He had gotten fitter, darker, and plainer in how he dressed. He even looked better and more alert, no longer arrogant and insolent like he used to be.This was his growth. Javier would be happy to see such growth if Marjorie had not lied.“I brought a doctor over to do a body check for you. It’ll be fast.”Marjorie did not know what Javier wanted to do, but she dared not say anything or could do anything. She could only go along with what the man wanted. “Sig, listen to Javier. Do what he asked. He won’t harm you.”Sigmund made an “oh” sound and left with the doctor. He thought that his mother was speaking to him—well, maybe a 30% as Marjorie meant 70% of what she said to
Javier sat on his office sofa with his legs crossed. As he took a puff of his cigarette, he pondered how he should deal with William. He had already come up with an idea but thought it was not appropriate enough, so he wanted to come up with an even better idea. However, this better idea he wanted was not easy to realize. Javier could neither go against William openly nor could he do something as ridiculous as hiring a hired gun to kill William, which would only sadden the old fox. On top of that, he wanted William to suffer the full price for what he had done, which was why this was such a huge headache for Javier. Thus, after pondering for a while, Javier wondered if he should just use the idea he had at that moment since he could not come up with something else. At that moment, his cell phone rang. Javier took out his cell phone, where Thomas’s name was shown on the screen.Surprised, Javier could not figure out why Thomas would be calling him. When Javier answered the
Before boarding the plane, Javier gave Jade, Chad, Trevor, and Liam a phone call, each with instructions.Finally, he gave Ciara a call, ordering her to hurry back to the island as soon as possible, also stating that he would be heading back as well.Of course, Ciara readily agreed to it when she heard that Javier was also returning. She thought that Javier wanted to grab the opportunity to spend some alone time with her.However, she was unaware that Javier thought she would only be safest from Arthur and William’s claws if she was on the island!Both of them ran into one another during transit.Ciara was especially happy, wrapping her arms around Javier’s, literally like a koala bear hanging onto a tree.Countless onlookers cast envious gazes at Javier, but he was not in the mood to feel happy about it.“Marjorie and Sigmund are both dead, and either William or Arthur did it. You can’t stay outside any longer.”“What!?”Ciara was stunned, obviously clueless about what had ha
Nobody knew if Arthur was putting up an act or if he was genuinely shocked. However, Javier no longer cared about all that at that point. Instead, he directly said, “You can drop the act, Uncle Arthur. Everyone is aware that you’ve had your suspicions whether Sigmund was actually your son. Now that they are gone, there’s no need for me to beat around the bush anymore.“Everyone knows that you’re well-aware about what happened with Aunt Marjorie, so I’m curious whether you’re feeling sad or faking it right now.”Arthur instantly became furious, and his eyes turned red as he said, “What are you trying to imply, Javier? Are you—”Javier waved his hand before allowing Arthur to finish his sentence. “I’m not trying to imply anything at all. I came here today because I wanted to tell you how huge of an *sshole you are. Here you go, see for yourself!”After that, Javier took out the DNA report that he had asked the doctor to alter previously and handed it to Arthur.Arthur took it over
Javier had been especially mindful of Arthur’s movements ever since the latter left his residence. However, Arthur had been very quiet. Javier had heard nothing in the end, nor did Arthur even leave the island.After Javier was done having dinner and taking a stroll around the island, Ciara discreetly asked, “Has he found out what you’re doing, Javier?”Javier shook his head. “I don’t think so. Judging by his temper, he should have probably stirred something up for us to see by now if he had seen through my plans. The fact that he hasn’t made a single move can only mean he’s beginning to plot something. The longer he remains quiet, the deeper his schemes.”Ciara acknowledged and said, “It’s just like the story about the viper and the dog that the old fox would always tell me.”Zephiel had indeed told this story to both Javier and Ciara when they were little. Ciara had forgotten most of the story, but she could still vaguely remember that it was about how the viper remained sile
Zephiel angrily lashed out at Javier, but those were the only words that he said before he fell silent. This was not because he was feeling unwell but because he recalled his bloody history.‘Now that I think of it, it’s exactly because I was ruthless in my methods that two of my brothers ended up dead, two of them ended up crippled, while the other two were lost.‘But I had no other choice at the time. I felt as though I was in a war in the past, without using guns or swords. The moment I showed up on that battlefield, I was fated to either be the hunter, or the hunted, that’s all…‘The situation I was in at the time is exactly what Javier’s facing right now…’At that point, Zephiel could no longer lash out at Javier. He remained silent for almost five minutes before he waved his hand, gesturing that Javier could leave him.Just as Javier was about to reach the exit, Zephiel instructed, “Be careful.”Javier stopped and turned around to look at the old fox’s lonely back, caus
Javier wore his work attire and entered the automobile manufacturing facility. The section chief assigned a mentor for him, Alexis Sacson Holm.Javier initially thought Alexis was a woman. She would probably be pretty, gentle, and quiet if he had to guess.When he finally met Alexis in person, he was dejected. Alexis turned out to be a big, husky man with unkempt hair and a scruffy beard.What on earth were his parents thinking when they named that big guy “Alexis”?When Javier was working with Alexis, he tactfully asked around and finally found out why.Back then, Alexis had actually been Alex Isaacson Holm. Born in the Holm family, he was named Alex, which meant “protector of mankind”.However, when the hospital registered his name, there was a mix-up when it was submitted to the state because his name, “Alex” and “Isaacson” had been written a little too close.The officers at the State Vital Records Office kindly corrected it by writing them closer together—Alexis Sacson Holm
Javier was wondering whether Quinna was a strong, powerful reformer. He might have found himself another person to work with through this trip if she was.They could easily go for a joint production under a sub-brand and conduct sales with the help of the 4S stores of this brand.The premise was that Quinna must truly be a radical reformer and not someone who claimed to be a reformist but only cared about power and money.While Javier was lost in his thoughts, eight men showed up out of nowhere and charged toward Javier and Graham before surrounding them.At first glance, it seemed like Alexis was leading those men. He stepped up and interrogated Graham aggressively. "You’re impressive, huh? I thought you were a man of integrity and virtue, but you’re just getting him to get you lunch instead. That’s a good one!"Just as Alexis said that a man pulled him aside. He had a tiger tattoo on his chest.Javier had seen the man when he was getting lunch earlier. His nickname was Tiger, a
