The bloodbane flower
Maya noticed the expression on his face and became curious. He had a different glint in his eyes compared to when he looked at the ring. She couldn't help but look back at the screen.What was on it wasn’t an antique but a plant. The plant was a crimson flower with dark, almost black veins running through its petals. Its stem was covered in tiny thorn-like spikes that dripped with a faint red sap. Maya wasn’t into herbal plants, so she didn’t know much about it, nor did she know the name. Curiously, she wanted to look it up on the internet with her phone when the auctioneer spoke.“This is the bloodbane flower, a rare piece of plant. I know most of you know about it. I’m sure anyone here with medical knowledge or perhaps a physician should know about it.”The auctioneer said with a smile. As expected, not very many people were interested in it. This was the first time a mere plant was displayed in an auction. What was more, it looked herbal and very odd, so most people weren’t capti
It’s a poison
An hour later, the auction came to an end. The auctioneer went around with his assistant to collect payments and then handed over the items won by the clients.It was such a blast, but of course for the Whitmore family, as they made more money than they ever did in so many years. The auctioneer was in a very high spirit as he walked, with a smile on his face. Damien also paid for the item he won with the card Maya gave him days ago. The plant was carefully packaged into a luxurious wooden box lined with velvet, with each leaf separated into compartments inside.Damien held on to it tightly. Sadly, Maya didn’t get to buy anything as she didn’t see what captivated her interest, nor did she feel it was necessary to buy what was displayed. Overall, it felt like it was only Damien who benefited.She didn’t think too much about it, as after all, it wasn’t like they would be leaving empty-handed.“There’s nothing left to do; we should leave right?” She looked at the wooden box Damien was h
Important guests
The next day.Maya was almost done preparing to head out when she got a call from Aria that important guests were waiting for her at the company. When she heard who it was, her eyes sparkled, and she got ready even faster, grabbed her bag, and began rushing towards the door.Damien was already prepared and was waiting for her outside the house. He wasn’t the type that would take long to prepare, and most especially, he usually woke up early so he could as well be considered to be very efficient.“Let's go!” Maya gestured at him before going over to hop into the car.Damien cracked his intertwined fingers before hopping to the driver's seat and soon drove off, heading to VitalMeds.Moments later, they arrived. Both of them hurried into the company and into her office when they saw Aria waiting by the door.She had a welcoming smile on her face as she looked at Maya.“They are inside waiting.” She said, but when her gaze shifted to Damien, she glared at him with hostility in her eyes.
I was expecting a hug
“How have you been, Mr. Damien? It’s been so long. Has Miss Maya been taking care of you?” Pamela asked caringly, like she was staring at her son but not Damien.Though the words were very unexpected, Damien went with the flow and did not try to sound snobbish.“She’s trying, not much, but a bit,” Damien said deliberately, while Maya rolled her eyes at him.Really? Did he forget it was supposed to be the other way around? As she stared at the man who was enjoying the company of the Carters, she felt like going over to give him a knock on the head. He was becoming too comfortable.“Mr. Damien, please keep in mind, you are welcome to the Carter family anytime. If Mrs. Maya doesn't treat you right, just come to work for me. I’ll treat you better and pay you two million a month.”Moses said subconsciously, without realizing his words directly meant he was trying to steal Damien away. After witnessing what Damien could do, who wouldn't want him? He deserved to be treated better, and Moses
You have to come with us
Ring! Ring!A few minutes later. Maya's phone buzzed. She hurried over and picked it up. When she saw the caller, she didn’t hesitate and went on to pick it up.Damien leaned up from the couch when he noticed her change of expression. He should have listened to the call with his sharp senses; he didn’t feel it was necessary.The call came to an end, and Maya turned to look at him. Her face darkened.“The Beckham family has suppressed all the news I asked my contact to release on them. That was fast.” She said helplessly.Even though it was expected, she never thought it would be so fast. How many hours was it? It wasn’t even up to a day.Damien remained seated. Rather than frowning in displeasure, he suddenly grinned.“Don’t worry about it. I expected such. Actually, I wanted to see how deep the waters are.”He cracked his knuckles and stood up from the couch. It seemed the Beckham family was up to expectations. Lily and Joseph must have warned them so they had been prepared, which w
A martial art family
Hours later, the rows of cars arrived at the edge of the city and headed through a dense forest. Damien should be worried about where they were heading, but he wasn't. He didn’t know Edwin's background, but from what he could tell, he might be living secluded from the main city for some reason he had yet to know about.Minutes later, they arrived at a tall gate. The walls on each side extended around the property with security posts hidden among trees. The place was an estate large enough that it felt like it was in its own world.As the gate opened, they drove in. A vast field lay up ahead while the main mansion was far away, about three hundred meters.Damien narrowed his gaze as he looked through the window glass when Edwin spoke.“Welcome to the Revencrest family villa.” He said with a smile, and the name seemed to have rung a bell.Damien recalled hearing about them before. They were a different kind of family. Unlike the others, rather than being versed in business, the Revencr
The old man’s secret
From what Edwin had said, using words to coerce Damien wouldn't work. At this point, just one means would be effective enough, and that was by using brutal force.Damien suddenly began to chuckle. After he had his fill, he looked back at the old man and replied.“Your grandson was polite and offered me money. But you think you can sit there, act tough, and run your mouth for me to cower and give in? Is that how weak you think I am?”The hall became quiet once again. Everyone’s faces paled in shock. No one had ever dared to refute the old man straight to his face like that. Not only would they be punished, but they might also lose their lives if the man decided to take it out on them.Yet this kid, he didn’t just laugh to ridicule the man; he had to be so blatant with his words like he had no ounce of fear in his chest. Didn’t he hear all the words they said? Or wasn’t it enough to break someone like him? Did they have to smack him in the face as they had thought first? Even Edwin w
I have a little request
Edwin’s father, Logan, leaned over and asked.“How did that kid find out?” He had been silent all along. Compared to the others, he wasn’t too skilled in cultivation, so he didn’t have much to say when it came to such matters.He didn’t even bother threatening Damien, as he knew the people around were enough to shut him up for good if they wanted; however, the entire situation turned out to be far more shocking and unexpected than any of them thought.“I…don’t…know.” Edwin's voice was hoarse as he replied. Did this mean Damien had actually dug out information about his family or what? But actually, what he said was a secret known to only three people. Logan, Edwin, and the old man.Shortly, a commotion broke out in the hall.“Grandpa, what that kid said, was it true?”“Grandpa, are you actually sick? Is it so serious that your inner energy is affected? Tell us, what’s wrong. Grandpa, does this mean you’ll have to drop your position as our master and the strongest member of this family
A foul smell
The old man didn’t hesitate. He didn’t know what Damien wanted to make out of this, but it wasn’t a hard task to do either. All he had to do was casually walk through the company premises, linger for a few seconds, then walk off, and he would get to keep the staggering amount of money to himself. His sore feet had walked the city and hadn’t gotten a dime for the day. To him, this was a heaven-sent task to do. Joseph and Lily hopped out of the car. They seemed to be discussing some matters with smiles on their faces by the garage before they started heading towards the entrance.However, just then, Lily frowned. Her nose wrinkled as she caught a foul smell lingering in the air. Shortly, she cursed.“What the heck is that? What’s that smell?”Joseph frowned, wondering what she was talking about until he perceived a foul smell in the air. Both of them froze and wanted to ask the men behind them to take a look around to see what the cause was. If an important client visited the compan
He planned it
Joseph and Lily looked like they had just been poured a bucket of cold water each and left out in the cold to suffer the bone-chilling effect. As they froze, their bodies kept shivering in fear.“How did you appear here?” Joseph stuttered first. He tried to blink his eyes multiple times to see if Damien’s figure would blur and vanish, but it didn’t. He wasn’t a ghost but the real deal. But if that was the case, what was he doing here?Suddenly the effect of the slap and kick he received the other day came surging through his body as though the same thing was recurring all over again. He had spent a couple of days in the hospital and had to use ointment to cover up the bruise; however, at this point, none of it mattered.Damien's presence, his face, became a constant reminder of the pain he felt. He could have rushed over to exert his revenge right away, he knew he was no match for Damien, after all.Even the two burly men who were standing in front, he wasn’t sure they could do much t
