CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE “They are going to pay for what they have done to you, my friend,” Hudderson said, and Mason nodded, glad that his friend was having the same thoughts as he. Mason turned to Andrew, and with a glower etched all over his face, he turned to look at the rest of the men, snarling at them. “What do you think we should do to them, Hudderson?” He asked with a quiet, ferocious tone, turning to face the Supreme Ruler. Hudderson took a deep breath, and after he had turned to Andrew, he gnashed his teeth, sniggering at the thought that crawled into his mind.“I think I have the best punishment for him, Mason.” He said calmly, causing Mason to turn to him again.Then the Supreme Ruler showed the white liquid inside a bottle to him, causing him to take a closer look.“What is that?” Mason asked, still staring at the bottle. “This was the reason why you couldn’t remember me, Mason. That old man injected this inside you. I think we should make him have a tast

Mason let go of Andrew as soon as he dropped the syringe, allowing the two of them to fall almost at the same time. Instantly, the old man began to jerk, foaming from the side of his mouth. He tried to hold onto Mason’s legs while his mind went rogue, but even his body felt like it no longer belonged to him, the pressure of his blood rising beyond a normal speed. Eventually, he stopped moving, panting with his hands sprawled all over the floor. His eyes were still open, yet it didn’t seem like he was conscious. Mason moved closer to him, and then he kicked him by the side, staring down at him. The old man only turned to him, seeming like he was mindless at that moment. “Where am I?” He asked, his voice low and burdened by weakness. He looked Mason in the eyes, yet it didn’t seem like he recognized him. The giant took a deep breath, and then he cleared his throat while holding onto his wry smile. “Serves you right, old man.” He whispered, and then he turned t

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN Hudderson took a deep breath, and looking back, he was met with the doubtful stare from Mason, but he was more interested in the child he was carrying, shifting his worrisome gaze to her.He was glad that she was still asleep on her father’s bosom, but it was only a matter of time before she would wake up.“You really are not going to reconsider your decision,” Hudderson said as soon as he returned his gaze to the lady, looking her in the eyes. Mellissa refused to budge, looking back into Hudderson’s eyes. “I am just a messenger of the council of the sect, Supreme Ruler. I am given instructions, and I follow them to the letter.” Mellissa turned to look at some of the men who were standing next to her, seeming like she was gesturing to them to get ready for battle.The Supreme Ruler took a deep breath, and then he nodded, holding onto his wry smile.“So be it then…” He cleared his throat, and taking a battle stance, he waited for the first guard to

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE “Right…” Mason whispered, and after he had sighed heavily, he alighted from the car as well, heading after Hudderson while holding onto his daughter. From the outside, he could see the lovely décor of the entire place, his eyes moving from one aesthetic part of the restaurant to another, his mouth agape while he admired with full attention.Even Mendy was not left out, an awe expression plastered all over her face as she looked around, completely speechless. Soon, Hudderson was forced to gesture to the giant, having realized that he had been standing at a place and looking around with his mouth agape.Mason hurried to meet with his friend, and while he was still looking around, they moved to a table and sat down quietly. “I just hope you are sure of this.” Mason broke the silence with a low tone, looking at Hudderson after he had leaned forward, placing his hands on the table that was covered with a tablecloth with the perfect color, the best fa

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE The Supreme Ruler kept on looking Mason in the eyes, but it didn’t seem like the latter was ready to answer that question, still battling with his anger and pain.“What if she is not dead?” Hudderson asked, and as much as Mason would have been delighted if that was the case, he didn’t want to get his hopes high. He looked Hudderson in the eyes, and then he sighed in despair. “It’s been ten years, Hudderson. If Vera were still alive, she could have found her way back to me. Back to us,” His voice was barely above a whisper, tears still welled up in his eyes. But he was strong enough not to let anyone drop, not even a drop. “I wish I was there, Hudderson.” He took a deep breath, and then he sniffled. “Maybe she wouldn’t have died if she had my support…” His voice was laced with both anger and regret, and that was when he was unable to suppress the tears, allowing them to trickle down his face. Hudderson moved to console him, patting him on the back
