“Oh my, Hendrix!! What in hell is happening here?"

With one last kick in the ass, Evans stood up from Hendrix's body. He was panting and sweating.

"Evans! Oh, dear! You now beat up your father?”

"Hello, Uncle Jarrod!”

“Shit! You still have the guts to call me Uncle Jarrod. You unfilial child, although Hendrix might be wrong, you just have to bear with him.”

David Jarrod squirmed. Evans looked away from him.

“You, go down and wait for me." He patted Evans on the back. Evans rolled his eyes at them and swiftly left his room without looking behind.

Sam also followed him. Evans was walking with full might. Samantha struggled to catch up to him.

“Oh boy!” David helped Hendrix up.

"Look how badly you've been beaten. Don't you know you're old now and your bones are weak? How could you have the heart to fight with your son? That's not cool?”

"My Son?” Hendrix scoffed.

"I used to think he's my son but he isn't anymore.”

David wound up chuckling as he patted Hendrix on the shoulder.

    “Evans don't be rash. I don't want my baby to be born fatherless. I can set up the room for you, don't do anything…”Samantha's words were caught halfway when the loud growl of the men echoed in the room.Bang!Argh!Pain! Evans was like a monster that had been let out of its cage. His every fist hit hard, causing the men to recoil in men.John was thrown backward, his back collided against Evans' dressing mirror. Evans picked him up. He slammed him against the wood yet again causing it to fall apart.SPIT!!John spat out a mouth full of blood. His eyes were red and his clothes were tattered. Evans showed him no mercy. He held high expectations of John and didn't expect him to go against him just to please Hendrix.“Stop it! Ungrateful child." Hendrix on the side shouted. "I can't believe you'll pay back this way after years of bringing you up. You're not a filial child.” He continued to shout.Evans let go of John. He turned his gaze to Hendrix and quickly got to him.

    A smile was instantly plastered on Adam's face. Aiden who was about to ignite the engine of the car scoffed in anger. He knew Adams would soon show off his cultivation skills. With annoyance, he invited the engine of the car and drove off at a high speed.“What do you think of my act today? I'll definitely make it to an A-list actor if I choose to go into an acting career right?"Aiden could only grit his teeth without responding.“Ahh! I now look like me." Adams grinned after realizing his skin wasn't as rough and wrinkled as it was a moment ago.“Tch! Your skin looks okay but your face is still the same. Including your height!" What!?Adams was stunned. Hastily, he brought out his phone and stared at his reflection. His eyes darkened as he glared at Aiden.“Hahaha! Just look how scared you were. It was an honor to have witnessed that!” Aiden chuckled happily. Adams wound up scoffing. He patted his shining jet-black hair with pride. Gawking at his handsome reflection, he was full o

    Ahh!“What the hell! Who replaced my things?”Ashley's voice resounded from the second floor. Aiden, Adams, and Baxter stared at the stairs without saying a word.When did she get back!? Adams was slightly puzzled.Aiden recognized Ashley's voice. The annoying lady that keeps bugging his young master, Aiden, even wondered who, between Sam and Ashley, was more annoying.Ashley's heels clicked against the tiles as she descended the stairs.Adams and Aiden exchanged a puzzled glance at Ashley's sudden outburst. Aiden, always composed, stepped forward. “Miss Woods, calm down. What do you mean by ‘replace your things'?"Ashley took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. "I had my belongings set up in the room I chose, but when I went back just now to shower and get some fucking rest, everything I arranged was different. It's like someone had been in there and rearranged my room without my permission."Adams furrowed his brow. "That's strange. We didn't touch your belongings, and no

    No matter how much Lorenzo tried, the car didn't start. They all panicked in fear.Ann didn't seem to be much afraid of the situation but Ashley was already cursing at Lorenzo for being slow. She even called him a fool. Her attitude made Adams who was watching get annoyed.The scene continued. The men in the two cars alighted from theirs. They got up to the car where the five of them were and smashed the window.It didn't take up to two minutes before all five of them were thrown out of the car.“Which of you is Aleric Christopher!?"It was the question that got them quiet. No one spoke. Obviously, these people had come for Aleric.“No one is talking?"Slap! A total of eight burly men beat them up for five minutes. Sera and Anna who had never been treated so harshly before could only grit their teeth as they writhed in pain.Lorenzo, his parents' only child and the pride of his family was also in a lot of pain.

    “Damn! Not that bitch!" “What's wrong!?" Aleric asked Sera in concern.“Miss Woods seems to have been left behind!" Shriek!!!The car came to an abrupt halt as Lorenzo stepped on the brake panel."What!?” Both of them let out a shout. To confirm Seraphina's words, they turned to look at the back seat, Lo and behold, Ashley truly wasn't there."Damn! This is another reason why I don't like that two-faced Wood!" Lorenzo cursed. Through the side mirror, he noticed the group was already catching up on them, without thinking twice, he invited the car again and continued driving."We should have just listened to Annabelle back then and not brought her along. Just what kind of devil is she? Always bringing setbacks in our lives. Just like five years ago, she's back to cause yet another harm!”Lorenzo continued driving as he lamented. Suddenly, Aleric pulled the brake gear.“Are you crazy!?" All three of them shouted in unison as the car almost went out of control.“What's wrong with you m

    Lorenzo was beyond mad at the moment. He was about to curse at them but felt something vibrate in his pocket. It was his phone and the vibration was to notify him he only had one percent battery remaining.“You still have your phone. Quickly call someone to help us.”Anna was the first to speak. Lorenzo without any hesitation quickly placed a call to the last number on his call log. Coincidentally it was Rick's number.“Someone will come here later. Now let's just leave!"His phone turned off as he passed the message.“Leave where? You must be joking to think you can escape without being caught.” The leader suddenly came from behind. They were shocked. It was so because none of them heard the footsteps of someone approaching them.The leader shot in the air. Seconds later, they were immediately surrounded by heavily armed men. Neither of them knew how these men managed to multiply their numbers. There are now almost twenty of them.“Hands up!" They pointed their guns at them. Sera wa

He laid on his back.“Alright then, keep an eye on her for me.""Yes, Young Master.”He didn't say anymore and was laid quietly on the bed.“Do you… need something?” Aiden probed but got no response.“How about getting someone to find out about Aleric's situation? We can all depart to rescue him.”"Yes, Young Master.”[No!!]Adams' eyebrows furrowed. Why? Isn't saving Aleric at the moment what I need to do? [Are you his FATHER? What's your relationship with him?

His young Master dared to be so audacious to order so much despite being an extremely stingy man in terms of spending money.It could only mean one thing… Aiden was angered. Why is it always him? Can't the system notice there's also a person named Aiden in it?“No. Does Harville Restaurant have takeouts?" Adams inquired.The waiter nodded."Yes.

He cursed.A blinding light shot across his face. He raised his hands to shield his eyes. When he lowered them, he was no longer in the oceanic system.He was standing by the doorway of the house he had spent years trying to erase from his memory.Nothing had changed. Not the dusty brown curtains. Not the cracked floor tiles in the hallway. Not the faint, sour smell of cheap perfume and stale cigarettes that clung to the air like ghosts.It was like time had folded in on itself and dragged him ten years back.He was twenty-seven now, but the moment his foot crossed the threshold, he felt seventeen again. He felt powerless, trapped, angry and scared.This wasn’t just a house. It was a cage. A wound.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared behind the Phantom Strider, lightning flaring from his fist.“SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER!!”CRACK—ZZZRRRMMM!!His punch connected, barely.
