2024-08-22 17:50:46The tone of the voice was hoarse. Just hearing the voice alone, Slade could deduce that the owner of the voice was not trying to have a conversation with him. The tone was as judgemental as it could get.
Slade slowly turned around to see a tough looking man dressed in a neat pair of suits. In his left hand was a baton, and strapped to his waist was a walkie-talkie.
The man looked at Slade from head to toe. Slade was still dressed in the clothes he wore out of prison. He looked rather too simple and very closely tattered.
"I'm sure you missed your way. Let me help you find it." The security man said to Slade, walking towards him to grab him.
Slade quickly held out one of his hands to stop the man. The man stopped with no clue. It was a sudden decision that was relatively harmless. He just wanted Slade to leave. With the way Slade was dressed, it was obvious that he was not fit for this occasion. The only interest the security man had in Slade was to throw him out.
"I'm where I should be, please. I need to see someone. You can just ignore me." Slade explained to the man.
The security man was glaring at Slade this time. His eyes were growing really darker with shades of rage. It seemed like Slade was really a troublemaker who wouldn't leave unless he was forced.
"I'm trying so hard to be civil with you here, Mr. tattered clothes. Don't make it difficult for both of us. Leave right now, or I'll make you!!" The security man yelled.
There was no way a man dressed like Slade was invited to a wedding like this.
This wedding is not any kind of wedding. It was a marriage alliance, including one of the powerful families in Pinnacle County.
There were a lot of CEOs who wanted to be here today but couldn't because their social status was not enough. How much more someone like Slade who looked almost homeless and poorly dressed.
"What is going on here?" A sudden feminine voice came out of nowhere.
The security guard was the first to turn. The loud voice of the security man had alerted some other people in the area, and there was someone approaching them.
There was a beautiful middle-aged woman walking toward them. She wore a very stylish gown that looked a little bit exotic for someone her age, but she had a grace that complimented the dressed.
"Matthew, what is this noise?" The woman asked as soon as she got to them.
When Slade heard the voice, his ears became perked. The voice was very familiar. He knew the owner of the voice.
When he turned, his eyes shone. He was not wrong. His guess was as right as his eyes.
"Mrs Paxton?" Slade didn't even know when those words flew out of his mouth.
Calling her name, Mrs Paxton reluctantly took her eyes off Matthew to look at the person who had just called her name.
Her gaze first dropped on the shoes of the man. The shoes looked extremely old and out of class. The pants were baggy and faded, and the top was no better.
How can someone who's dressed like a beggar dare to mention her name? She felt insulted!
But when her eyes met the face of the man who had just called her name, her eyes squinted. Then, almost immediately, disgust filled every corner of her face.
"Slade?" Saying the name almost made her puke!
Slade nodded his head firmly, "Yes, it's me, Mrs. Paxton. It's your son-in-law, Slade." There was excitement shooting up in Slade's face.
"I just got released today and heard some unpleasant new. Some rumors that my girlfriend is getting married to someone else today. I didn't believe it. How could I? You will not allow it, Mrs. Paxton. You always wished that your daughter and I would get married. I don't know what happened, or maybe you were threatened, but I have come to ---"
"Why do these paupers talk so much?" Mrs Paxton suddenly cut Slade short in disgust.
Slade was taken aback by both the look on her face and the tone of her voice.
It didn't seem like she was struggling to play that role. This role looked already like a big part of her!
"You got out of prison today? What am I supposed to do about that, then? Throw some freedom party for you? What a joke!" Mrs Paxton rolled her eyes, sneering at Slade.
" Mrs. Paxton, what are ---"
"If you dare to call me again, I will stick my heels in your mouth." Mrs Paxton was not even making an attempt to hold herself back!
Slade was in extreme shock.
Three years ago, Mrs Paxton used to treat him like her own son.

Chapter 275
Everyone watched with mouth agape following what had just happened. They thought that they had seen it all when the demons changed into their true form and killed Manuel. Seeing what Slade had just done broke every barrier that their minds had set against the impossible. With just one swipe of the hand, Slade had created a deep and very dark hole. Everyone of them could see as the mouth of the dark hole opened as though it was the pulsing throat of a gigantic and wild beast. The throat of the dark vacuum had gobbled the demons and had vanished into thin air. "Master!!!" Ivana jumped on her feet instantly and raced towards Slade. Ivana who appeared to have lost her will and strength was suddenly and instantly energized. She looked like a different person at that moment. She ran towards Jaai and leapt into his chest. With her legs curled around his waist, and her arms around his neck, she hugged him with every bit of strength in her body. "What the hell is wrong with this girl?" S
Chapter 274
By this time, all the demons were done feasting on the body of Manuel and were now back to their old human forms. Even though they were looking like an average human now, Izuga couldn't see them as such anymore. Right now, he was pissing his pants and shuddering. It felt like he would pass out any moment from now. He couldn't even lift his gaze, let alone look at the demons. He wished that he could grow a wing and fly out of this fucking place. He wished that there was something he could do to vanish. But when the reality dawned on him, he realised that the only superpower that he had right now was just wishes. There was nothing he could do but wish. It should be relieving but it was a mere illusion. Araguta was equally shaken to the core. Of course he had fought in deadly battles and had dealt blows that were ruthless. He had killed a thousand of evil spirits and had summoned many, returning them back to where they came from. Yet, he had never seen any demon of this form. Demons
Chapter 273
The voice sounded so familiar to Sceptre that he couldn't do any other thing but be stunned by the suddenness of the call. Looking at the person who had just called his name, Sceptre's eyes widened in shock. With the look on his face, it would seem like he had just seen a ghost. "Izuga." Araguta, the man Sceptre muttered as he saw the man. "My son." He added. "Father!" The man, who now identifies as Izuga screamed. "What are you doing here" He asked, not ready to hear the answer. "I should be asking you this. How the hell did you get here?" The tone or Araguta had tuned so deeply that it was evident in his voice that this wasn't a reunion anymore. Sceptre was scolding his son as though he was an urchin who had just landed himself into a deep mess. He was way too annoyed than to be surprised to see him here. There was a reason they had fought and stopped seeing each other. Araguta had warned his son never to be part of the secret agent that worked for the government but Izuga had

The man was wetting his pants right now as he saw what had just happened. He thought that he had seen cruel people all his life, but he had been telling himself a huge lie. What he had just seen was way more than just terrible. At first when he had seen the lady, he had thought that they were sex workers who came to please their clients. Instead, the ladies seemed scared of the men. This meant that the ladies must have been brought here against their own wills. They had been trafficked. A new wave of fear gripped the man. He was shaking. He was shuddering. If this kind of men were the people they had been brought to, doesn't that mean that they were done for?He wished that there was a way they could escape this kind of trouble but not in his wildest dreams would that be possible. He just knew it. The only way they would be rescued would be if perhaps an angel dropped down from heaven or a god. If that could happen, then perhaps they could have a shot at getting freed. The man's

"He wanted to kill me! He almost killed me!" Manuel cried as soon as he saw the creatures. He was reporting to the creatures as though they would come to his aid and teach the man some lessons. Instead, two of the creatures grabbed each of them and dragged them in. "Where are you taking us?" The man argued, doing all he could to yank himself off the hard grip of the weird-looking creatures. Perhaps he thought that the powers that he had just exhausted on Manuel would find a way to resurface. If that were to be the case, then he wouldn't be dragged away like a sac of rice. When he stopped trying to free himself, he realised that they had entered what looked like a big hall. At this point, he was neither scared nor worried. Instead, he was curious. This hall looked like a medical lab where gigantic transparent tanks were lined up all across the space. There were aisles in between the rows of transparent tanks.Each tank held a type of creature that the man had never seen before. In
Chapter 270
The man was mellow through the journey. They walked through a dark hallway, then bursted into a hallway that had tiny hues of blue rays. The man had lifted his gaze for a moment to see where the blue rays were coming from, but his eyes were weary from the hard slap that he had received the second time. When the security had tried to drag him out of the prison, he had tried to put up a fight again, instead he met with a very laughable humiliation. Hence, to protect his ego and the thoughts of being capable, he decided that it would be best for him not to try and act the hero just like he was warned by the security.Soon enough, they approached a door that was saturated by a brilliant white light. The saturation was so high that it was hard to tell whether it was the door that was white or it was the white light that gave that illusion. They came to stop at the door. As soon as they stopped at the door, the three security personnel stepped away from them, letting them free. The sec
