CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE Fiona took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, she cleared her throat, eyes still fixed on Elias. “When you said Lance, do you mean Lance Avert?” “Yes! Exactly!” Elias nodded with a smile.“That’s the man I am here to see.” He sighed heavily, nodding in satisfaction.“This makes my mission very easy. I am glad I bumped into the two of you.” He looked at the couple who were forced to exchange glances at each other, their eyes still wide with curiosity. “What do you mean by that?” Jonah asked the question that he was getting ready to ask, his eyes still wide with curiosity.He slowly turned to his wife, and even though she was silent, he could see that she was close to desperate about finding out what someone as irrelevant as Elias wanted to see her father.“Go ahead. Answer the goddamn question!” Fiona urged, getting rid of the urge to have Elias leave the premises. This time, it was no longer about him walking away with his lowly self, but about

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE Fiona laughed as soon as she saw the guards, turning to Elias with a sneer. “You are in a big mess!” She sniggered, inching a bit closer to him.“Let’s see who is going to be mourned between you and my father. I hope your mother is still alive. She will be meeting the dead body of her son in pieces today.” Slowly, Fiona turned to the guards, and then she waited for them to get closer.“I came as soon as I could, Miss Avert!” Their leader bowed, holding onto his dagger. He was tall, huge, and had a patch covering his right eye, evidence of his long years of getting involved in violence. He had not seen Elias before, but he could tell from the countenance etched all over Fiona’s face that he was the one that she was talking about. “Is this the idiot that wishes death upon himself?!” He asked, pointing to Elias with his dagger. “Yes, Jabil.” Fiona nodded, also staring at Elias with flaming orbs. “I want you and your men to teach him a lesson

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE Jabil gasped as soon as he saw his cohorts, turning to Elias who was already glaring at him.“I swear, I didn’t tell them!” He said, losing his breath. Perspiration had soaked his dress, his eyes widened as he staggered backward, uncertain if he was meant to face the Grandmaster or the armed guards standing before them. “I am telling the truth, Sir! I didn’t tell anyone anything! I swear!” Jabil pinned himself to the wall, turning to his fierce cohorts as though he was about to beg them to tell Elias that he was unaware of their emergence. The fifteen men stared at him with wide eyes, wondering why he seemed so afraid of one man. “This is not going to end well, guys.” He warned, but they scoffed, laughing at him.“What’s happening to you, Jabil?” One of the men in front asked, turning to Elias with a scowl. “Don’t tell me that you are scared of this fellow.” He took two steps toward the entrance of the elevator, his eyes glaring at Elias, laced wi

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN “No,” Fiona gasped, her breath shaking as she looked at the cold guards lying in their pool of blood. Stepping over them, she held 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 Venom gaging 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 Venom, realizing that the defense that they thought they had was not enough of an obstacle for Elias. At that moment when so much tension was hanging in the air, Ve

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE 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 Elias 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 Elias 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 Elias here.” He turned to the Godfather, 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 gloom. “I have always known that this day was going to come.” Lance returned his gaze to Elias, and then he took a deep br
