Chapter 439 Your Wicked Thoughts

Author: Nine Linked Rings
Luca’s father felt his heart drop at what Javier said, and he panicked.

“Sir, that’s not what I mean. I-I…I forgot myself and babbled. I—”

Javier patted his shoulder without saying anything and put on his shoes to leave.

Luca could care less about wearing shoes as he hurried after the man to apologize, but Javier had only left him with a cryptic smile.

Luca was antsy upon returning to their mansion.

“Dad, have you lost your mind!? He calls you uncle, and you really think you’re his uncle? Why would Mr. Kersey come here personally to talk about this if it weren't necessary? He’s already done us enough favor, and you ask him to stop? Have you gone crazy!?”

It was inappropriate for Luca to say that as a son but forget that he did not currently find it inappropriate as even his father felt that he must have lost his mind. A wire must have been connected wrongly somewhere in his brain for him to ask Javier to step back without even thinking.

Why should Javier take this step back? Jus

    When Saoirse came in, she looked beautiful with a fair face and carefully applied makeup. When she left, she was glowing in radiance with a fresh face and a sense of purity that did not match her age.Whichever version of her it was, she was incredibly charismatic to the men and attracted countless lustful gazes.Javier did not mind one bit about this. They could look all they wanted because they could only look anyway. They could come and try to fight for her if they were capable—whether it was a contest of brawn or wealth, he was not worried.Wrapping an arm around Saoirse’s slim waist, Javier pressed a kiss against her pink cheek.Saoirse was shy. “What are you doing? There are so many people around!”Javier’s answer was unrepentant. “That’s exactly why I kissed you. I’m like a territorial lion. I need to prove that you’re mine. Of course, if you think this is ineffective, I can pee on you like an actual lion too.”Saoirse gave Javier’s waist a hard pinch. “Nonsense!”She whi

    Manny loved calling people a dog as an insult. Like when he was going to call the security to chase Javier out, he had said that he would make sure the latter was beaten up like a dog.At present, though, he could care less about it. All his attention was focused on the photos on Javier’s cell phone. He panicked while looking at them. “No! Where did you get these photos from? You—”Words tumbled out of his mouth, but Javier put out a finger and wagged it at him to gesture for his silence. It was then that Manny remembered what Javier had said earlier, about barking like a dog before he spoke, but he could care less now as he went on.“You’ve photoshopped these photos. This is slandering. I’m calling the police on you!”Javier pulled out his phone and pressed the digits right in front of Manny—the first two tones sounded the same.Manny panicked at once. He would be doomed if Javier actually called the police! Not being able to care about embarrassing himself as the hospital direct

    Manny pleaded profusely, even promising to fork out some money in exchange for not exposing what he had done with the vaccine. However, this was obviously not going to happen since this was Javier’s entire objective for his trip. Thus, how could he possibly agree to Manny’s pleas?Seeing that he was not going to get anywhere with his continuous pleas, Manny had no choice but to agree with a depressed expression.Javier patted his shoulder. “Alright, then. I’ve already told you about both matters, so you go ahead and do as you see fit. I’m going to be leaving now, bye.”After extinguishing his cigarette against the desk, he picked up his cell phone and walked away.Before Javier left, Manny’s face still seemed depressed, obviously helpless and powerless in his situation.However, that expression of his instantly turned sinister the moment Javier walked out. Manny had not been planning on forking out a single cent since the very beginning, nor was he going to admit that he had d

    Javier was sitting together with Saiorse, Lloyd with Carmen, and Herschel was alone inside the private room. Seeing that Herschel was seated together with them, Lloyd knew that Javier wanted to bring Herschel up the ranks. Although he did not leave Herschel to his own devices, coupled with the fact that the both of them had spent New Year’s together at Javier’s home and were both from the military, they ended up chatting away rather happily.Carmen was chatting with Saiorse about shoes and clothes, which was even heartfelt.When they were at the climax of their conversation, they left their seats. This was a pretty good thing since it would not be nice to smoke in front of two beautiful women who did not smoke themselves. Hence, after the women left the private room hand-in-hand, the three remaining men picked up their cigarettes. Lloyd was completely going against whatever rules he had been given previously. He did not care how many sticks of cigarettes he was smoking at tha

    Javier had only intended for that to be a random retort, but Thorin began giving Javier an answer.He began saying how Javier had killed Harold and how his family was doing at that moment. He then carried on to say how much trouble Javier had caused himself and how his family was suffering because of it.Thorin had listed out everything. Toward the end, he even said, “Do you know why I’ve just f*cking told you all that? It’s because I’ve decided to send you to Hell today! After I kill you, I will tie up the two women you brought with you and have some fun with them.“Lloyd, I know that one of them’s yours, but you’ve got all the money in the world, so you can surely find another one. I’m going to pull apart those long legs and have my way with her. You could have her back like you used to after I’m done, if you don't mind. I won’t kill her, I promise!”Thorin was extremely arrogant, thinking there was nothing he needed to be afraid of since he was the one with the gun.Lloyd sai

    Luca found out everything that had happened through Thorin. Most importantly, he found out that Manny was the one who had ordered him to kill Javier. Luca immediately felt a chill running down his spine when he heard this. ‘Thank goodness Javier’s alright, or my family and I would probably have to go down with him if something went awry!’While silently hating his uncle for his actions, Luca apologized to Javier sincerely, “I’m sorry, boss. I—”Javier waved his hand. “Take them all away with you!”Luca knew that Manny could not be saved no matter what, nor did he dare to vouch for him. He was happy enough that his family would not be penalized, so he did not dare ask for anything more.Luca was old friends with the restaurant owner, so he hurriedly gave him a call to bring over a few security guards. Luca got Thorin and his three subordinates away with their help.After leaving the restaurant, Luca and Thorin sat in the same car and headed to the nearest police station.During

    At that moment, Manny felt slightly regretful. He regretted not listening to both Luca and his father. Originally, he was not afraid of Javier since he had deep connections with all sorts of people. On top of that, he had hitmen under his payroll, so he had people to do his bidding for him, both legally and illegally. However, after what happened that night, he obviously realized that everything was happening out of what he originally expected. Javier, the man who was supposed to be dead that night, was now after his head. Manny did not want to die, so he quickly said, “Mr. Kersey! This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I’ve already prepared the 3 million dollars you’ve asked for and was just about to have it transferred to you. Also, I’m going to call for a press conference and tell them everything about the vaccine’s parent.”Javier merely said, “Thorin’s dead.”This very statement left Manny thoroughly mortified.Originally, he still had held onto a sliver of hop

    Manny was taken to an abandoned construction site and recorded the video under Herschel, Running Man and GTR’s request. Of course he was not doing it without a fight but it was obviously not his shot to call, especially when Herschel was ready to stab him with a dagger.Therefore, he obediently began to tell what he had done back then in the recording. He had even repented sincerely toward the end, expressing that he had been remorseful for having done wrong and letting everyone down.The reason he was so cooperative was simply because he wanted to stay alive. While he did his best to achieve that, his wife was on her knees to express her thanks.Javier waved nonchalantly. “Take Manny’s money and find a man who’s strong and healthy and likes you. Live your life!“Isn’t it great to find happiness that truly belongs to you…”After Javier left Samantha, he met Herschel.Herschel told him, “I’ve sent it to Lloyd and asked him to publish it through specialized channels.

    As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the “man” in the word “woman”—in that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greene’s apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three days’ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Then—“because I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,” according to Bernadetta—she amended the peace offer, changing the three days’ free meals to…a week’s worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. “I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t

    Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old lady’s lawn. “It’s him, officers! It’s all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! He’s the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!”She turned and trained her finger on Javier. “You vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!”‘Back at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!’ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. “Oh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greene’s bra because he is…the Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!” Javier threw his arms up in exasperation

    Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! “What kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!” Javier wondered to himself aloud. “Was this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?”Baffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. “Hush, it’s alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet and…” Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe him—and for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latter’s electric scooter was. While

    A resentful wail—interspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangled—was echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of “hell, naw!”, Florence dove into Javier’s arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a “help-me!” sort of way. She was soft and supple—damn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea

    The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: ‘Just you f*cking wait, hooman!’‘Wait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?’ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old woman’s sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. “I mean, I don’t object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, but…” She faltered a

    Florence called half an hour later to tell him where they’d be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadetta’s care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.“It’s so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?” he moaned. “I’m sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. You’re a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? I’m sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dog’s welfare to think things through. She didn’t mean it. I can vouch for

    Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensemble—black leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, “You brought all the stuff I told you to?”“Yo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. I’ve got all the preparations down pat. You can check ‘em if you don’t trust me,” Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. “See? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.”After a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. “Boss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that you’re gonna call me ‘boss’ while you’re there?”Javier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

    Javier’s suspicion turned to Constance Hellman’s white Pomeranian. He turned to the director’s office and met the dog’s eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangs—beaming as smugly as a teacher’s pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the boss’s favorite—made it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javier’s gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, ‘I’m just your average dog! Nothing to see here!’And then it feigned—yes, feigned—a yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. ‘What. The. Actual. F*ck?!’ Javier thundered in his mind. ‘B*tch’s a natural actress! What’s it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?’In combination with Russell’s report, the incident inside the director’s of

    As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.“Oh, baby, what’s the matter? Did you hurt your leg?”The white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constance’s concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. “Mr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I can’t help doubting your motive now.“I’m skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when you’d even hit a cute dog!”Javier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, “Madam Hellman, I didn’t do anything!”Constance asked angrily, “You didn’t do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!”Javier was in distress as well. “How would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
