THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 36
Xu Ming threatened and was about to leave the gathering when Maverick’s cold voice rang in the quiet sitting room.
“So it’s you,” Maverick stared at the man who was fuming with rage before he lowered his eyes to the gun he was playing with. “Your Xu family owes me so much debt that ten generations of your family cannot pay. Did no one tell you that?”
The faces of the Patriarch and every Xu present turned white.
Yes, they did Maverick bad in the past, but over the years he didn’t retaliate and they all thought he had let things slide because of his mother, but who would have thought he didn’t forgive them?
“Lu, boy, what do you mean?” Patriarch Xu asked.
“I have no history of repeating myself, Patriarch, you haven’t forgotten that too, right?” Maverick replied with a question before he folded his right leg on his left leg and spread his arms on the headrest of the couch.
His posture made him look like a pompous nouveau riche. However, the difference was that Maverick’s coldness Wouldn’t allow anyone to think of anything else but a bully.
That’s right, he was here to bully the Xu family.
“What do you want for compensation?” The oldest son of Patriarch Xu, Xu Liam asked. He was getting irritated by Maverick’s behavior but because their family was at fault, he couldn’t let out his anger.
Maverick looked at Xu Liam who had the same features as Xu Ming before he smiled. The smile made his already villainous look even more wicked.
“Give him ATOM or I take him away,” Maverick replied.
At his words, the Patriarch closed his eyes and the other members of the family had their eyes enlarged like they wanted to see the future.
The shock the family got made them look stupid.
“I told you, he has gone insane!” Xu Ming yelled as he pointed at Maverick while he addressed his family.
After a while, Xu Liam asked, “and if we don’t?”
“The Xu family will cease to exist… today.”
Xu Liam stayed silent for a while before he said: “You know what will happen to you if you wipe us out,”
“Leave me to worry about that,” Maverick responded.
All these while, they have been talking like they were discussing the weather. No shouting, no abuse, no anger on their faces, just Maverick’s coldness being displayed with every deadly word he uttered.
“Davis won’t let you off,” Xu Liam reminded.
If they hand over Xu Ming or inject him with the virus, his son, Davis won’t stay quiet.
Hearing that name, Maverick replied slowly, “Davis… will join him.”
If Davis stupidly comes to seek revenge, he’ll kill him. It’s as simple as that.
“Those people are protective of Davis. They will destroy you and the Lu family if you dare touch my son!” Xu Ming hollowed. He was already very mad at everyone in the room.
“Not when your son wasn’t killed by me.”
Hearing that, the people all whipped their heads to stare at Maverick.
“Wh– what do you mean?” The Patriarch asked in alarm.
“ATOM,” Maverick stated. He paused to take in how their faces drained of color before he added, “The Xu family owns ATOM. What happens if Davis was killed by ATOM because he was told by a scientist that his body is a treasure trove to make the antidote?” Maverick threatened nonchalantly.
The Patriarch almost fell from his seat. Yes, ATOM has no antidote. The scientists made a mistake with the experiment and the outcome became ATOM. Instead of throwing it out, the Patriarch became greedy and kept it.
Thanks to ATOM, the Xu family got themselves into the top three families to be feared in Country M, but they made the mistake of toying with Maverick.
After the incident, they thought that Maverick had let things go and was searching for a remedy, but unfortunately, it seems that Maverick was waiting for them to fall into a ditch.
Davis is the only person in the Xu household that could lead the family to the pinnacle. If he is allowed to be messed with, then the Xu family won’t last long.
And again, If Maverick kills Davis and tells ‘those people’ what he just threatened them with, ‘those people’ would be happy that an antidote is finally out and wouldn’t think twice before turning a blind eye.
Everyone turned to look from the shocked Xu Ming to the sad Patriarch before some shifted their gaze to Maverick.
“Father?” Xu Liam called. He was handing the judgment to their father to make. Their family cannot lose Davis because of one idiot and secondly, they cannot allow their family to be made a laughing stock.
The old man balled his right hand which was placed on the arm of the chair and used everything in him to calm himself down before he passed his judgment: “Liam, do what he wants.”
“Father!” Xu Ming cried out in disbelief.
He hasn’t even heard what would be done to him and he was already about to eat his father alive. Though whatever outcome it is won’t favor him anyway.
“Yes, father,” Liam and the old man knew that what Alpha Chaos honestly wanted was for them to have a carrier of the ATOM virus in their family just to trap the Xu family too.
He was right. With Davis’ father being the carrier, Davis would take the antidote research seriously and Maverick would be able to solve one of his problems.
“Hold him down,” Liam commanded no one in particular but a few members of the family approached Xu Ming after a few seconds of deliberation
“Wh– what are you all doing?! Father! Are you letting this happen to me?! I’m your son!”
No matter what Xu Ming said while being held tightly to the chair by four able–bodied men, no one felt his ‘pain’.
The family hates him, but because his son was the head now, they had to give him a facade of respect.
Xu Liam pulled out a syringe with red liquid from a briefcase that had been on the table beside the Patriarch and injected Xu Ming with it without batting an eyelid.
Everyone watched as Xu Ming jerked and convulsed, cried and hollered. He fell to the floor and rolled around in agony for about five minutes before he fainted.
The man had peed himself and was heavily sweating.
The whole family stared at Maverick. Some with unconcealed hatred, some with nonchalant eyes, and others with pain and tears in their eyes.
Maverick stood you from the couch and turned to walk away but stopped and turned around, “I did nothing to your son, I hope you know that?” He curled his lips and resumed walking.
The same young boy who had screamed Maverick’s name earlier at the window couldn’t contain his raging heart anymore and pulled out a gun.
Before anyone could stop him, he screamed Maverick’s name, and everything that happened after that was a scene that shook them to the core.
“Alpha Chaos!!!!”
“Bang!”
“Ahh!”
“Noo!”
The family watched in alarm as the youth fell to his death after being shot in-between his brows by Maverick.
Their souls were pulled back when they heard him say: “Old man, you didn’t teach your grandchildren the ways of the world…” he sneered and walked away after that, leaving the Xus to mourn their heavy losses.
Patriarch Xu slowly got up from his seat and felt the ground was unstable as his head grew heavy. The man held his chest, “puff!” he spat out blood before he swayed and fell back on his chair in a dead faint.
“Grandfather!”
The Xu family descended into chaos, meanwhile, the cause of the trouble was in his car resting the back of his head on the headrest with his eyes closed, enjoying the calm music with brutal lyrics Code 10 was playing in the car.
“Edit and send the video to Davis,” Maverick said slowly. Maverick had made Code 2 and Code 10 wear pinhole cameras on them to video and send Davis what happened in his family.
“Yes, boss!”
Maverick never thought Davis’ father did it, but now that things happened this way, it makes it even sweeter.
Maverick wants Davis to run mad after seeing what his own family did to his father. He couldn’t wait to see the battle that would be going on soon in the Xu family.
Since he cannot touch the Yu and Xu family without having to defend his family from ‘those people’, he is allowed to anger them, right?
What a sweet revenge!
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
In another area of the City, in a dark room with dim lights from candle sticks that illuminated the room, the silhouette of a person rocking back and forth on a wooden chair could be spotted.
The person had a cigar between his fingers as he puffed out a cloud of smoke that made it difficult to see his facial figures.
His left hand held a phone to his ear as he listened to the other person speaking.
After a while, the person chuckled, “got it,” he placed the phone down and continued smoking.
“Dumb Xu Ming, he fell for it… hahahaha…”
The person’s voice sounded like that of a young man in his early thirties. He stopped soliloquizing when he heard the clicking sound of heels.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
A few moments later, a lady in a red off-shoulder dinner gown with a high-thigh slit walked graciously towards the man.
From the dimmed light, the girl’s face couldn’t be seen clearly, but from her body posture, movement, and classy air around her, it was obvious she wasn’t simple.
“Master,” she bowed slightly in front of the man.
“What took you so long?” He asked.
“The target was a little too much to handle. So I had to take time to seduce him–”
“And f*ck him,” He completed her sentence.
The lady chuckled richly, “he isn’t qualified to taste what you eat,” she said seductively as she walked around the chair with her slender and delicate fingers brushing against his chest.
She stood behind him and lowered her height to kiss the crook of his neck and licked his earlobe.
“I’m yours, tonight,” she whispered, breathing into his ear and then biting his earlobe a little bit.
“You are horny… what did you do to your target?” He asked as he picked up a tumbler and drank a mouthful of the content before biting on his cigar.
“Nothing much. I only played a little but… he got stuff down there…” she demonstrated with her hand crawling down to his trousers from his chest.
The man held her wrist against the zipper of his trouser and pressed her hand tightly.
“I told you not to do this anymore,” he said calmly.
“I’m sorry, I can’t resist you. My body is on fire,” she bit her lip seductively and walked around to sit on his lap with her hands wrapped around his neck.
She leaned in and was about to kiss him when he turned his face away.
“Doris, you are messing with me, you know the consequences.” His voice suddenly sounded deadly, but still, the lady ignored his tone.
“I’ll gladly oblige, master,” she said and kissed his cheek.
“Fine, do what you know how to do best,” he said and pushed her off.
The lady got up and started to hurriedly undress. After that, she started to dance seductively to no music and after a while of twerking, she rested on an object, spread her legs in front of him, and started to play with herself. All this while, her sexy eyes didn’t stray from him.
The man watched her for a while before he got up and took an object. He walked up to her since her legs were already spread apart and her panties were taken off, he unceremoniously pushed the object into her.
After a while, Doris sighed in relief and pulled the thing out before getting off the object she was lying on and picking up her dress to wear.
Just when she slid into the dress, the door burst open and the clicking sound of heels could be heard before the dim room was illuminated by the light coming from the chandelier above.
The intruder switched on the lights.
