“What a coincidence that we ran into each other here, Mr. Kersey.”Yoel chuckled as he approached with a smiley face. He was no longer the same Yoel Hachison he used to be. Instead, he was now someone who had Renly supporting him from behind. In fact, he was the man who had a chance of becoming the next family leader. Thus, Yoel no longer had to seem as fearful as he was in the past. He even dropped the respectful tone he would’ve used to speak to Javier before. Javier squinted his eyes into tiny smiles and looked at Yoel. “What a coincidence indeed. Do you like coming to Disneyland because you’re as childlike as Sara?”Yoel had obviously gone there to meet Javier, yet Javier ended up criticizing him for being a child, which left a sour taste in Yoel’s mouth. However, as unhappy as he was, he still had to endure this, as he was still weaker than Javier at the end of the day. “Surely you jest, Mr. Kersey. I’m only here to meet Mei and Sara. I didn’t expect to see you here as wel
Yoel was extremely p*ssed! ‘How dare this little b*tch spit on me?! This is an even greater humiliation than being slapped!’“You little sh*t!”Yoel yelled angrily and raised his palm, ready to hit Sara. The little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed Javier’s neck.But before Yoel could even land a hand on her, Javier directly sent him rolling over on the ground with a single kick.“How dare you raise your hand in front of me? Who the hell do you think you are?”Frustrated, Yoel got up with a hand against his abdomen.A second later, Javier said angrily, “On your knees! If you dare get up, I’ll have you killed right here right now! Go on, try me!”Javier’s temperament exploded like a tiger roaring in the forest, seeming very threatening. Not even Yoel’s subordinates, who were not too far away, dared to take another step closer. After all, how could they possibly dare to approach when not even their boss could utter a single word? They did not have a death wish.
When Sara woke up the next morning, she went around the house to look for Javier, but he was not there. After remembering that she had suggested that he stay in her mother’s bedroom, Sara headed upstairs and pushed Mei’s bedroom door open.Mei was lying on her bed, sleeping especially soundly and happily.There were piles of tissue paper crumpled up by the bed. Sara had no idea why her mother, who supposedly loved for things to be clean and tidy, would simply litter the floor with used tissues. She also found it very strange when she realized that her mother was smiling sweetly in her sleep. But Sara did not care about any of these things anymore. She shook her mother violently before Mei, who had only fallen asleep not too long ago, woke up. “Mommy, where’s Uncle Javier? I want to see him.”Usually, a person would be in a very bad mood when they were woken up right after they fell asleep. However, as a mother, there was of course no way she would react in such a way to her da
When Javier met Angelina, she was discussing business with a major client from the Middle East. The business meeting seemed to be progressing very smoothly. They had already signed the contracts and were shaking each other’s hands with smiles on their faces. After seeing this major client out, Angelina sat back on her chair and closed the document. Just as she was about to hand the document to her assistant, she raised her head and saw a familiar figure. One that belonged to a man she had been missing day and night. Angelina instantly stood up, her face filled with glee and excitement.“My king! What are you doing here? This is the best news I’ve received today! I love you so much!”Without feeling bothered by the fact that her subordinates were around, Angelina directly leaped into Javier’s arms, kissing him ferociously with her full red lips. Undoubtedly, because of her race, Angelina had an extremely fair complexion that exuded her country’s unique beauty. Whenever Jav
Herschel knew exactly what his job was. He was not disillusioned by any means. What’s more, he was more than stoked to say yes.With Herschel and Gusman taking the lead, a troop of a hundred suited-up soldiers left with their own respective method.Javier took his eyes off Herschel, Gusman, and the others and observed Angelina from the door, his eyes cast far into the horizon, where the troop vanished. He wondered if she could smell something fishy.Quickly, he asked, “Anything else on today’s agenda?”Angelina had been wondering if she should tell Gusman to hold onto any reservations and not obey every single one of Herschel’s orders, but Javier’s question broke her out of her reverie. “No, there’s nothing else,” she replied intuitively. “Nothing planned for today or tomorrow. What’s the matter?”Javier’s lips formed an implicative smirk. He leaned forward, pushing Angelina against the wall before breathing out. “Well, I personally have an agenda, and I would like to have you par
With her troops at the ready, Mei led a march toward the Hachison estate.Gusman made his confusion known on the way. “Aren’t these people the ones who should be training you on the battlefield?” he asked, sounding bewildered.Herschel was aware of Gusman’s inability to understand Yuzuean, so he took this chance to make things up on the fly. “We, er, set our base here to avoid being discovered. I mean, have you ever suspected us of setting up our base here before?”Gusman reeled in realization. Well, that made a lot of sense…except for the nagging fact that these people did not seem to care about Herschel at all. Something was fishy about it, and he could not shake the feeling off.He tried to call Angelina for confirmation, but no one answered him.His mind drifted to the relationship between Herschel and Javier, and then Javier and Angelina. His mind relaxed a little—he was his mistress’s beau and the second grandson of the Kersey Family! There was little reason for him to be wa
The Hachison estate incident quickly gained the attention of the local law enforcement. A skirmish involving guns and bazookas was about as serious as a small-scale war. When one pinned that conflict on a region as sensitive as the Hachisons’ residency, it was no wonder the local police immediately moved out.Local forces stopped dead at the entrance to the estate almost as soon as they arrived. Shock prevented them from moving any closer.The enemy troops, as they quickly realized, were armed to the teeth with weapons even more advanced than the equipment the Yuzuean army possessed. They also quickly realized that many of those now standing opposite them within the estate were important elders and higher-ups of the Hachison Family.The leader of the group? The daughter of the Hachison Family’s main branch and former family leader, Mei.It came as a world-shattering shock even to the over fifty-year-old captain of the force, who was just about to retire in a few days. He intuitivel
Angelina was apoplectic. She had been dragged through sugar-coated torment for almost two days to what felt like the brink of death…only to find out what he had done. Now, her brain was nearly fried. Gusman’s troop had been led to unwittingly aid a coup d’état within the Hachison Family!Angelina already knew that Renly had gone to see the Hachison Family leader a few days ago. It was the Whites’ recognition and acknowledgment of their ally in action. And yet, before long, the Soroys had done something that was basically a b*tch slap and a middle finger combined.There was no way she could deflect by claiming it was an accident or use literally any excuse she could dredge up. Even if she explained herself so hard her face turned blue, the Whites would find it irrelevant. There was no way to explain by this point—that was how far the narrative had shifted.The fact of the matter—a fact known by everyone who mattered—was that the Soroys had caused an upheaval within the Hachison Famil
