CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO “No” Fiona gasped, her breath shaking as she looked at the cold guards lying in their pool of blood. Stepping over them, she held onto her breath, tears flowing from her eyes. But she was not prepared for what was waiting for her in front. It seemed as though her vision was blurry at first, but it didn’t take so much time for her to see Viper gushing blood while he tried to hold onto what was left of his life. Fiona screamed, covering her mouth with both hands. She refused to make any move, and soon, her husband came running out of the elevator. “What the hell?!” Jonah gasped as soon as he saw the dead men, his eyes trailing the blood all over the floor. “Fiona?” He called out, turning to his wife. “I think you should stay there. Don’t move.” He was very concerned from the moment he saw Viper, realizing that the defense that they thought they had was not enough obstacle for Hudderson. At that moment when so much tension was hanging in t

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR As soon as she saw that her father was still alive, Fiona sighed heavily, but that didn’t mean that it was all over, especially since Hudderson was still holding onto his rage and his dagger. “Father? Are you okay?” She turned to Lance, her eyes scouring all over his body. She thought of going closer to her father, but with Hudderson on the way, that certainly didn’t feel like a good idea. “I am fine, Baby.” Lance finally responded, but his shaky voice was saying something else. “I was just having a word with Hudderson here.” He turned to the Supreme Ruler, staring at him with a wry smile. “He is quite a charming young man, isn’t he?” He turned to his daughter, but she didn’t seem like she was concerned about any other thing except his safety, tears flowing from her eyes. “Don’t cry, Fiona,” Lance said silently, replacing his wry smile with a grimace. “I have always known that this day was going to come.” Lance returned his gaze to

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX Lance gasped, attempting to spit out the poisoned drink.But it was already too late as a good amount of it had already gone down his throat, and the reaction started in a matter of seconds. First, he felt his heart getting cold, and then it began to beat faster when all of a sudden it started to burn like hot coal had been thrown inside his chest. Then his eyes turned red, crawling backward like they were about to sink into his head. He wheezed, his chest tightening as he struggled for breath.“Please!” He cried, but it was clear that he was never going to get his dwindling life back.The painful cry of his daughter pierced his ears, causing him to turn to her. But he couldn’t console her, not when he couldn’t speak, blood pouring from his mouth as he gagged. He grabbed Hudderson by the jacket, holding tightly with both hands just as he was still trying to cling to what was left of his life. “Don’t…” He couldn’t finish, his eyes rolling backward,

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT Everyone turned to Hudderson, their eyes sparking with disdain. Becky snorted, turning to Hudderson who was already staring at her, still struggling to remain calm. “Why would you ask these people to go in to see the Mayor? I have been waiting here for over an hour.” “And so?” Becky snapped at him, rolling her eyes in disdain. She turned to the man who had his eyes on Hudderson for a while before switching to her. “Who the hell is this man, Becky?” He could no longer hide the thoughts going on inside his mind, staring in curiosity. “I don’t know who he is, Mr. Reed,” Becky said with a frown, turning to face Hudderson again. “He has been here trying to see the Mayor. I told him that he was not welcome here, but he has insisted on staying here.” “Oh.” Mr. Reed turned to Hudderson, looking down at him. “So he is a stranger.” He stared with an arched brow, inching closer to Hudderson. “Hello…” He extended his hand toward Hudderson, putt

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY “Am I supposed to be afraid of him?” Hudderson asked, breaking the silence in the hall. His words caused gasps to erupt from the policemen, their eyes widening with shock. “How dare you?!” One of them barked, grabbing his gun from the sheath. “Take back those words or I will blow your brains out!” He threatened, pointing the gun to Hudderson’s face. For over ten seconds, he had expected to see Hudderson fidget, but it didn’t look like he was going to see that. Hudderson was still calm and composed, holding onto the wry smile that was etched all over his face. The rest of the policemen were stunned to see no reaction on the Supreme Ruler’s face, staring at him with arched brows. Slowly, they turned to Sam who was not left out of the bemusement, staring at Hudderson with wide eyes. “I can see that you have guts, Mister.” Sam snorted, glaring at the Supreme Ruler. “I am going to lock you up and make sure you don’t see the light of day.” He threatened,
