Nathan looked at her but she didn't answer even after a long time. At that moment, only the night lights were switched on in the room and all they could hear was the pitter patter of the rain from outside. The sound came in waves and it was steady and quiet, but it filled their world completely.Hearing the sound of rain, Hilda's worries gradually calmed but she was still in a daze. One is an unforgettable relationship and the other is simple and warm.Must I only choose one?Even though he will always remember an unforgettable relationship, it will go by in a flash and wouldn't last forever. A simple and warm relationship can last a long time but it seems to be missing some excitement and passion. Love would then become as plain as daily necessities and like rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, it will eventually deteriorate. All the passion and excitement will be gradually worn away and disappear with time. Meanwhile, Nathan kept his head lowered, waiting for Hilda's answer.In
"Hey, Mason! I have come to visit today." The elder said excitedly as soon as he saw Mark. Hearing this, Mark stroked the cat in his arms in frustration and replied, "Mason? I'm Mark!"When Mark saw the elder of the Damien family, he felt an unbearable heartache. However, after one look at the girl beside him, Mark wasn't sure how to feel. The Damien family was full of cunning people.Tehilla, who was standing to one side, watched the two old men communicate like idiots. The corner of her lips curled into a mocking grin and her eyes were filled with impatience. If it weren't for Mark, a well known warrior across the land of Taadi and a powerful man in the Cannon family, she wouldn't waste her time with these two. After hiding the disgust and impatience in her eyes, Tehilla smiled brightly as she opened the chessboard and said, "Old Master Cannon, it's me, Tehilla Damien. It's been a long time since I last played chess with you. How about a game of chess right now?"Tehilla had played
Soon it was dinner time. Mark quickly made a call to Rex to bring Hannah and join them to have dinner. It wasn't long before Rex arrived with Hannah in tow. He was still wearing the suit he put on for the business meeting and looked elegant. But as they got closer, they notice the elder throwing a tantrum.Rex walked over worriedly and quickly held onto the elder, who was still throwing a tantrum. Before Tehilla hurriedly got his medicine and handed it to him.Rex seemed to be used to these situations as he hurriedly brought a glass of water for his medicine.Seeing this, Tehilla started to panic. Having no other choice, she decided to bring the elder home. "Mr. Damien, let's go back home. Come, let's head home!"Everyone was anxious and Tehilla just wanted to leave.Initially, she was planning to ask Mark for clues but the sudden episode ruined everything. Bringing this silly old man here was the worst decision ever.Tehilla took a step forward and was prepared to ask her bodyguard
The military compound was the Cannon's' turf, so Hilda was not worried about her safety at all. Just by taking a couple of steps back, someone would immediately jump out to stop Tehilla's bodyguards.Sure enough, the bodyguard had only taken two steps when he felt a gust of cold wind and then a cold, black muzzle was pressed against his head. Horrified, he turned and saw that a uniformed man had appeared behind him silently with a pistol aimed at the back of his head. "Don't move!" The man warned in a cold tone.As this was Taadi City's military compound, it was unlikely that a person who was wearing his military rank on his shoulders would turn out to be an imposter. Thus, the bodyguard thought twice before raising his hands in surrender.With that, William kept away his gun and ordered for the bodyguard to be taken away. When Tehilla saw him, she was stunned and thought to herself, How on earth can this imposter have the guts to show up? Isn't he afraid that he'll be exposed?After
After they left the area, Rex went in the direction of the military compound, taking the dog out for a walk after dinner to aid it's digestion, while Hilda went the opposite direction where the supermarket was. Before parting ways, Rex couldn't help but assure her, "Don't be stressed out because of the amulet. I'll try to persuade the Damien's to give up on it. And there is also Nathan so there is nothing to be worried about."Nodding her head, she watched as he left.After they parted ways, Rex was still happily reminiscing about the bottle of wine from the cellar on the way back to the military camp. It was so good that just a sip of it was enough to satisfy him for half a lifetime! How wonderful it would be if Nathan opens a bottle of his wine from his cellar collection every day!As he continued walking forward, the setting sun cast long silhouettes of two men and a dog. Despite being so close together on the ground, their shadows could never overlap, just like the gap separating
After getting out of the car, they dashed in as quickly as possible. It was already dark and in the small abandoned factory, the stench of blood was overwhelming. A few steps into the factory and about a few feet ahead of him, Rex could see a few men lying on the ground, their blood pooling into a river.It was as though an intense war had broken out and the two cars which were parked here were ridden with bullet holes. Some as big as the size of a fist, which went to show how brutal the enemy was!But that was only on the outside. The people who were lying flat on their stomachs were also ridden with holes, their blood and flesh splattered all over and human parts strewn everywhere. Just taking a step would cause one's feet to be drenched in sticky blood.Looking at the scene, Nathan's face turned even more grim and his hands began to shake uncontrollably. No!This cannot be happening!She must be alive!She has to be!Frantically, Rex went through the dead bodies spread out all ove
In the chaos, he saw a few bags of cat food scattered around, Hilda's cell phone, which was trampled to pieces, and her wallet. Opening the wallet, he found a picture of himself, which was soaked in blood. Looks like they were kidnapped after coming out of the supermarket, he concluded.The scene was too tragic. Except for Nuella who escaped as she was left in a corner after being knocked out and wasn't in the enemy's shooting range, there was nobody left alive and even the dead couldn't be pieced back completely.Rushing in, Johnathan scanned the bodies and saw that they were all men from the Damien family from their clothing. "It's Hex!" He informed Nathan.Hearing that, Nathan stopped wondering because he knew that only Hex could do such a brutal thing.Only him!He wished more than ever that he was the one who had joined the operation to wipe out the Hex and also the one who had accompanied Hilda out to buy pet food. Unfortunately, there was no way to reverse the time. Trying to k
Mrs. Adams was covered in wounds. Her black tight fitting garment was completely drenched in blood. Despite that, she seemed as if she couldn't feel any pain and was still unusually strong even though blood flowed profusely from her leg with every step she took.Hilda got her head pounded on the ground so hard that she felt really dizzy, so she automatically folded her arms to shield her head from the destructive impact. After all, her arms were softer than the ground, so Mrs. Adams immense strength still made her feel very dizzy when she had her head hitting the ground. By the time she opened her eyes, everything around her seemed to be spinning like crazy.Mrs. Adams yanked Hilda's unruly hair and pounded her head on the ground once again with all her might, but suddenly, Hilda noticed that Mrs. Adams body convulsed for a moment before she kneeled down on the ground weakly.It happens again!Hilda had already noticed that earlier. It seemed as though there was some kind of remotely
