Chapter 4
A brief silence engulfed the whole atmosphere with all gazes focused on Avon. He had just spoke as if he had some power.Many directed gazes on him speaks about how worthless he is, “And who do you think you’re? The worthless retired soldier against the Wilsons?” Vance let out sarcastically, accompanying his words with a chuckle.Avon simply rolled his eyes, “Watch it get done tomorrow.” He affirmed once more, taking the hands of Lorraine they both head out of the villa.After leaving the Hales’s villa.Lorraine was still in tears. “Avon, I’m so sorry. I couldn’t even defend our marriage, I’m so sorry.” She cried out the more.Avon took her hand. “It’s alright pretty one. I don’t want your pretty face getting stained darling. All I have to do is get the Wilson’s to be on your side, and your family will have no choice but to acknowledge me as their son-in-law. They won’t have a choice but to give our marriage a chance.“It’s the Wilsons we’re talking about Avon. Don’t you know who they are?” Lorraine said worriedly.Born and bred in EastHill, she knew all there’s to know about the Wilsons. And so does Avon, his family was once in business with theirs.The Wilsons are one of the Great Five. They’re one of the core leaders heading the most successful conglomerate company in EastHill.Originally the company was founded by the Barksdale, but after the family died mysteriously, the Wilsons took the position of the Head CEO of the company.Caston Group was an conglomerate company, having broke into the successful market recently. The Great Five basically monopolized Caston Group’s order.Avon only smiled at Lorraine, “You shouldn’t worry pretty one, one or the other I’ll get it figured out.”At that moment Lorraine suddenly thought of something saying, “Oh yeah, I know just how this can be solved. An old classmate of mine is married to one of the Wilsons. In fact, she’s married to the ones that head the family. I will try and get in touch with her. She might be able to get you a meeting with the Heads where we both would seek for there forgiveness.”“Okay.”Holding each other’s hands, they both walked approaching Lorraine’s home.Lorraine’s house and the Hales’s villa were located in the same residential area. Where the headquarters of the Hales was the villa. Lorraine’s abode was in high-rise building.The two of them took a leisurely stroll back. Charlotte in the other hand had arrived ahead of them, and seeing the both of them about entering, she refuse to let Avon inside with her daughter.Avon simply shrugged. There was nothing he could do. “I’ll go home then, bye Lorraine.”Lorraine knew there’s nothing she could do or say also, she had no choice either, so she simply nodded a response.The priority now was to get the Wilsons on their side. That way, the Hales would have no choice but to accept Avon as part of the family.After settling down at her home, Lorraine immediately picked up her phone getting in touch with her classmate whom she had not spoken to for many years. She was the only friend she had back in high school.On the other hand, Avon returned to the Noble House, situated in the area where the most luxurious villas of EastHill were.He sat down on the couch and lit a cigarette awaiting his personal assistant. Just then the assistant walked in, dressed in a corporate dapper suit.“You call for me, General.”“Yes, and I think it’s time everyone knows who the Dragon General is. Prepare a party to be hold tomorrow night, in the name that the Dragon General is holding the party and finally back to EastHill. I also want you to bring me the Head of the Wilsons.”“Yes, General. I also have news about your family’s murderer.” He said back to him.“That can wait till tomorrow is done, get what I ask you to get done, done right now.”“Yes, General.” He bowed before walking away from him.At the Hales’ Household.At the foyer, everyone was seated discussing minor steps on how to expand their company, and how to get the Great Five to notice them or work with them.Then Vance who wasn’t among them suddenly rushed in, “Have you guys heard?” He said breathlessly, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.“Heard what?” Came out Charlotte confusingly,“What did you heard?” Royce also asked.“Talk now.” Lennox ordered.“The Dragon General is holding a party tomorrow night, which means he’s back. And I also heard he’s inviting all the elites and rich families to the party. Which means if we could get an invitation, it’s a marvelous opportunity for our family to get into the upper class.” Vance said, his gaze focused on Lennox.Everyone was silent and trying to believe the news he just gave, everybody knows the Dragon General is coming back but not this soon, and he wouldn’t throw a party on his arrival so why suddenly.“How sure are you?” Royce asked, squinting his eyes at him.“As sure as you would be if you pick up your phone and check the internet.” Vance responded.“If he’s indeed holding a party, how are we going to get an invitation then?” Charlotte said from where she’s seated.“Yes I mean not like we know anyone who knows the Dragon General.” Oscar said also.“Isn’t Lorraine’s wretched husband a retired soldier, shouldn’t he at least know who the Dragon General or someone who knows him and see if he can get us an invitation.” Vance spoke up, diverting all attention to Lorraine at where she was silently seated watching things unfold.“That Avon or whatever he calls himself can’t help us, we need to find another way of securing an invitation to that party. The Great Five would be present, we mustn’t miss this chance. This might be our only chance.” Lennox said finally.“Vance, you brought the news, you would need to find someone who knows the Dragon General and see how we can connect and get an invitation.”“In fact everyone is expected to find us a way to get an invitation to that party.” Lennox addressed firmly.“Grandfather!!!!!” A beautiful curly haired girl approaching her late-twenties jumped forward engaging in a hug with Lennox. She just arrived.Lennox’s eyes sparked up wrapping his arm around her. At the same living room was a handsome fat man who came in just now with the beautiful girl. He was her husband.And she was the first granddaughter of Lennox, she was a member of the family before she got married to Sean Parker. A rich and prestigious family, she was married to the son born into one the Great Five.After separating from Lennox, her eyes went around the living room before she asked, “Why is everyone this serious? What’s going on?”“Didn’t you heard that Dragon General is back and he’s throwing a party. We’re discussing on how to get an invitation. Do you know anyone we can contact or anybody who knows the General? We need the invitation as it would be of future help to this family and our business, going to that party we would finally be considered an upper class, and we would get the chance to meet with the Great Five.” Oscar filled his younger niece on what she had missed.Then she bursted out laughing at them, “Was this why you people are looking this gloomy?” She asked laughingly his finger pointing around all of them.“Oh the look just doesn’t suit you Oscar,” she snickered at him.“And you Char, even if an invitation is gotten for you people, you wouldn’t be going so don’t stress your wrinkled facial.” She made another jeered statement at Charlotte.“Oh sweet Royce, I wonder who’s gonna give you an invitation.” She pouted her lips at him before laughing at him again.“And you Vance, let just say that it’s your ear that heard of it, but your feet won’t step into it.”Then she stopped flipping her hair backwards with pride, “Well my husband here,” she walked over to where he was, flinging her arms around him.“He had gotten the both of us an invitation to the party already, I would have tag along with one of you, but as you can see I already have a plus one.” She rolled her eyes placing a peck on his cheek.“Really?”“He has?”“How?”“Are you joking or for real?”“She must be lying.”“I don’t believe her.”“What proof do you have?”Everybody except Lorraine and Lennox began questioning Abigail unbelievably that she and her husband had actually gotten an invite to the party.“Wow I can’t believe you guys got an invite.” Charlotte covered her mouth with her palms expressing her shocked feelings.“You’re so lucky..”They kept throwing flattering words out to Abigail, why she smiled feeling proud of herself and everything.Her eyes went around the room again to see a much more beautiful girl seated on the couch with her hands placed upright on the chair’s arm and her face placed on her palm in a deep thought. That was Lorraine.Who was that? She wondered as she left her husband approaching her. She heard about the news about Lorraine’s new looks; how she had become an angel over the space of three days, also the trouble she got them in. That was the main reason why she visited, to see her cousin’s new appearance.“Lorraine?!” She called, her tone filled with disbelief.“Is this you?” She asked, her expression surfacing in disgust and hatred. She has always hated Lorraine for no reason.She always believe she’s more beautiful and likely the most beautiful girl in EastHill, that was why she was so happy when her face got disfigured and all. She in fact, did the most in disfiguring her face. She’s now for sure the most beautiful girl in the family, and perhaps the whole of EastHill.“I heard what you did, is it true you slapped one of the Wilsons because he asked for a night stand?” She’s now standing in front of her with her arms crossed and placed on her chest, looking down on her with utmost aversion.“Yes,” Lorraine replied mildly, not sparing her a glance and just staring into the space of nothing.“Just yes?” She asked back, “Did you know the consequences of what you did?” She scoffed rolling her eyes dramatically at her.Just then Avon walked in, he was here to let them know that the Wilsons won’t be pressing charges or try to bother them anymore, more that they would actually grant them a chance to work with them; to give their business a chance to work with theirs.When he witnessed his wife getting yelled at and getting mocked by the pretty lady standing in front of her.“Can’t you talk? Just because you’re now pretty doesn’t mean you worth anything, a rich family like that is asking for you to open your legs not marry him, and you refuse. What a shame! If anything happens to this family because of you, I will make sure to bring you down and cut you to pieces.” She yelled out angrily at her.Lorraine said nothing and just manage to held the tears that was threatening to spill down her face inside.“I would have beg my husband to also get you guys an invitation, but just seeing her face in this family makes me angry. If you want an invitation to the party, I suggest you chase her away now!”Avon from where he stood bursted out laughing, an invitation to his very own party? Well no one knew he’s the Dragon General.All gazes were directed to him, “Aren’t you the worthless husband she got married to?” Abigail moved away from Lorraine, taking slow steps towards Avon.“I will get everyone in this family the invitation to the party, so stop mocking or verbally assaulting my wife.” Avon stated in a firm tone.To his face everyone began laughing at him.“And who are you to get that for us?” Vance said laughingly.“A spineless human making mouth I guess,” Charlotte answered for him as she also laughed out loud.“Is this how you intend to solve all our problem? You must be very crazy then. You haven’t gotten the Wilsons on our side yet, talkless of you getting an invitation to the mighty Dragon General’s party.”

Chapter 167 Kory stared with confliction, now that he knows who she is. Was he going to rat her out or is there an agenda to why he kept quiet and gave her a subtle look of knowledge. She approached him with slow cautious steps, “Who are you?” Her head tilted slightly, her eyes squinting obliquely at him. “I’m not the Finn you know, I’m the total opposite.” He responded, bored and typically plained. “Then who are-““It doesn’t matter. What matters is joining hands to achieve our aims. Yours is retrieve the divinity surrounding Avon, while I came to claim his soul. That we should works towards and should matter.” He had cut her off, summing up the base of their plans. “You were going to frame Lorraine for the murder of your body right. I definitely can help with that, I will be the witness and use my abilities to manipulate things into supporting this plan. This would create a rift between them, a dispute you would take advantage of him and approach him to meddle with the conflict

Chapter 165 Avon returned to looking for Charlotte and Kory, hurrying with the search after assuming Charlotte succeeded in throwing Kory out of the house since the shouting died down. He felt a different aura around Finn, but could not afford looking into it as he’s busy with stopping Charlotte. He strolled down the stairs, arriving at the mansion’s frontal exit to see nothing but two of his guards standing there on random lookout. Kory and Charlotte were nowhere to be found. Avon moved closer to the guards, minding to question about Kory. “Have any of you seen Kory or Charlotte?” His voice questioned, immediately gaining their attention. Their head fell low in an instant, “No, General. We took post not too long, we have no idea where they could be.” The one of the left lipped a response. Avon sighed turning around and returning back upstairs. His gut kicked in, telling him something strange is going on. He wasn’t certain, but something just doesn’t feel right. While ascendin

Chapter 164Lorraine stood up from the position she was squatted to. Avon already went after Charlotte like he said. He could hear Kory’s voice shouting meters away and Charlotte trying to shut her up. “You’re not getting away with this, whatever it is that you just did to me. Give me back my body you piece of a useless shit!” She heard Kory’s voice yelling at Charlotte. “Fine bitch.” Charlotte said and that was the end of their shouting. Avon hastened his footsteps rushing to the direction he heard then shouting from only to see they were gone. Still looking around for them his eyes landed on Finn who creeped out from nowhere standing behind him. Avon almost jerked, “Finn.” He called a little weird out by his sudden appearance. “Where were you? How did you? It doesn’t matter, when you did you come back?” Avon took some steps backwards before inquiring. Finn smirked, a dark edgy one that has Avon squinting his gaze at him. “I came in not too long, I was looking for you.” He r

Chapter 164Faye walked in on the strange man rummaging for God knows what in her grandfather’s drawer. “Who are you and what are you looking for?” She asked, announcing her presence with her gaze sizing the man up trying to read his appearance. The man looked up from where he was, becoming aware of Faye’s presence as he brought up his hand that held a gun in it. Corking the object he pointed it straight at her head. “Hands up bitch!” He instructed, his finger tugging close to the trigger. Faye exclaimed with her expression as her lips parted in shock. Molten saliva liquid gulped down her throat as she slowly obliged to the man’s instruction. “You’re not gonna scream and you’re gonna come in further.” He beckoned with the gun, Faye had no choice than to step in further approaching him where he stood. “What is your name beautiful? Perhaps you can lead me to who I’m suppose to kill. I’m here for Charlotte Hales, and Oscar Hales.” Faye kept her ears attentive, arriving at the fron

Chapter 162
Chapter 162Avon and Lorraine left the kitchen to go check on Kory to see if she’s packing her things and leaving like they wanted. Arriving at the hallway they met Oscar who had on a forlorn expression and seated on the floor with his back rested on the wall. Lorraine signaled for Avon to go on and check without him while she approached Oscar to ask what was going on with him. His daughter is now fine, she’s very sure of it because it was her husband who healed her and made sure of that. So she wondered in her head on what could have brought him back to expressing quite a wide shade of sadness on his face. Avon didn’t went on like Lorraine had say, instead took a spot and stood there waiting for her.Lorraine got to Oscar as she stooped to his position. “Uncle what’s wrong?” She asked in a tone laced with empathy. Her palm reaching out to soothe his shoulder with some pats. “Nothing is going to happen to Faye again, she’s really fine now. Don’t bother yourself much about her, s
