THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 71 – 80
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 71
“Channeling the anger you feel for your mother to your sister is a sign of weakness and my son isn’t supposed to have such an unreasonable weakling as an uncle!”
Jeslyn’s voice sounded from Maverick’s phone.
Rex was startled, he immediately hurried towards his brother and grabbed the phone from him, and started. He looked at the caller ID before talking pitifully.
“Sister-in-law, you all are bullying me emotionally! That girl has done a lot to me from the day she was born. She schemed against me countless times and also got me in trouble multiple times. I am aggrieved!” he lamented.
“The brother-in-law I know must have sought his revenge by now… Piper must have eaten a lot of losses from you, so you both are even…” Jeslyn said.
“Hehe, of course. I won’t be Rex if I don’t teach her a life lesson.” Rex chuckled, remembering what he did to Piper in return.
Jeslyn continued, “Do you know the feeling of protecting a sibling? What about the feeling of being a prince saving the damsel in distress? You don’t, right?”
Rex sighed, this sister-in-law of his has too much good rubbish in that small head of hers. Of course, he has saved some damsels in distress and knows how it feels to be the hero in their hearts, but as she said, he has never saved a sibling before. He’s the only one getting his ass saved by Maverick all the time.
Her voice came again;
“Here’s the thing, why don’t you steal Piper’s heart and let her be consumed by guilt instead?”
A smile ran unto Rex’s lips. That’s a good idea! Why didn’t he think about that?
Saving Piper who also hates him as much as he hates her would mean that she’ll feel guilty for everything she had done to him in the past. Also, it would make her feel inferior to him. Hahahaha… so he thought.
Rex cleared his throat. Like he was being forced, he said begrudgingly, “On the condition that you’ll come home and cook me something delicious.”
“Deal,” Jeslyn responded.
Rex ended the call and laughed out loud, then he raised his nose in the air with so much pride and arrogance that he missed the demi devil who just walked in through the door, wearing his school uniform.
“When did you make my mum your cook?”
Valen’s voice startled Rex and he jumped in fright. He patted his chest and yelled, “Do you want to give me a heart attack?!”
“How is it my fault that your heart is weak?” Valen rolled his eyes and snorted.
Rex took a deep breath, then looked from Maverick to Valen a couple of times before he turned and matched out without dropping Maverick’s phone.
“Aren’t you giving the phone back?” Damien asked with a smile. He had been laughing since.
“No, if he needs it, let him come for it.” he stormed out after that.
“Hahahaha…” Damien laughed. “Chaos, what are you going to do now without your phone? Your brother thinks you’ll be phoneless for some days. Hahahaha…”
Who cares if their phones go missing or abandoned? They all have backup phones, so what Rex did was no way at all to punish Maverick.
Rex knows that too but he just wanted to collect the phone and add it to his collection of things he had taken from Maverick.
Valen gazed at his uncle’s back as he was walking away with pride. He shook his head and sighed before heading upstairs with his backpack.
“Dad, neighbor Damien,” he greeted while going up the stairs.
“You bad child, you should call me uncle!” Damien yelled. He had told this little child time and time again to stop calling him neighbor, but still….
“Freeloader Damien, when are you leaving?” Valen threw the question nonchalantly without stopping or looking back as he climbed the stairs with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding the strap of his school bag.
“Pttf! Cough! Cough!”
Damien choked on his drink and the guards standing around tried to stop themselves from laughing out loud.
Before Damien could talk, Maverick butted in, “Kimberly will be discharged soon…”
Damien’s eyes widened and sharply turned to stare at Maverick, “Re– really?!” his lips quivered.
How long has it been that this demon didn’t allow him to see Kimberly for once? He has missed her so much that he no longer feels whole.
Now that she’ll be discharged, he can take her away. He smiled but before the smile could stretch to fill his face, Maverick killed it.
“She can’t be with you,” he said nonchalantly.
Damien almost puked blood. Among all the people in this world, why did he fall in love with Maverick’s sister?
Yes, Damien found out from Rex that Kimberly was their half-sister and ever since, he had been sitting on pins, knowing that Maverick wouldn’t make things easy for him.
Worst of all, Maverick took the chip from him for nothing! Since Kimberly was Maverick’s sister, undoubtedly, he would have saved her without Damien having to do or pay anything. Too bad he fell into Maverick’s plot.
“Chaos, please cut me some slack. I’ve suffered enough, haven’t I?”
Maverick shook his head, “my wife had worse,” he uttered.
Damien sighed, “I didn’t cause all her suffering, her sister did,” he opposed.
“Doesn’t matter,” Maverick side-eyed him.
“Fine, what do you want?”
“Clean your house,” Maverick instructed.
Maverick wanted him to clear the path before Kimberly went into his house. His sister, born from his loving father, must not suffer more than she already did. Although he feels nothing for her, he knew that his father would have treated her with love if he knew her existence.
“That’s fine,” Damien wanted to wait a little longer to get his arrangement in place before appearing in public but now, he seems to have no choice.
Damien had no idea that one of the punishments Maverick planned for him was to enter a battle with Emilee without getting ready.
With that, he’ll lose more, so that by the time Maverick is done with him, Damien’s family would be pushed out of the rank of the three greatest families.
Standing in front of Maverick, who was about to enter his black car, Code 10 reported his findings.
“Boss, we couldn’t find her. I sent the earring we found to Inspector Fin for a fingerprint scan.”
“Leave it be,” Maverick said without interest. His brows were furrowed as he stared at his new phone which he just concluded a call with.
“Yes, boss,” Code 10 answered but in his mind, he prays his boss would be able to handle Jeslyn’s anger if she finds out her husband is not interested in Piper’s case.
Unbeknownst to Code 10, Rex has taken over the matter with Piper’s disappearance, which was why Maverick seemed not to care.
Moreover, there’s something more important that needs his attention right now.
Maverick shifted his gaze from his phone to Code 2 who was standing beside the front passenger seat of the car. “Get the men ready,” with that, Maverick entered the car with Code 10 and Code 2 in front.
Code 10 has no idea what the problem was but Code 2 does, so without further ado, he pulled out his device that could summon the men under him.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 71 – 80
Rex was seen getting down from his car in front of a big wine mansion.
With a few men behind him, he strode towards the house in front of him.
All the guards standing around the house pointed their guns at him but didn’t dare to shoot… who doesn’t know the blue-haired Rex? The guards didn’t have the courage to court death.
“If you don’t dare to shoot, lower those toys. Seeing them might get me angry,” Rex said languidly with a sweet smile plastered on his ever-handsome and youthful face.
The guards slowly lowered their guns, but were standing at alert, in case Rex and his people suddenly starts a war.
“I’m not here to eat, bring me to Feng Gu,” he instructed.
Feng Gu is oldest brother Feng… the one everyone thought would be the next family head.
One of the guards standing close to the mansion’s door, pressed on his two-way walkie-talkie earphone. He gave a report to someone and a few minutes later, A bulky bald man, wearing black shades, opened the front door to the mansion and stepped out.
“Young Master Lu, please,” he gestured with his hands for Rex to follow him to the back of the house where there’s a garden.
Behind the house, an old man with white hair was seen playing ‘Go’ alone in the lush garden with fine greenery accompanied by the sweet smell of flowers.
Rex was startled when he saw the old man. His intern said he traveled, so what is the old man doing here?
“I never thought you’d come,” the old man said with a calm voice as he placed a white stone on the board. He didn’t raise his head but was sure that Rex was here.
Although Rex felt nervous, he didn’t cower nor let his fear show. “The old man’s ears are still very active but your children’s eyes are blind,” Rex replied while walking towards the man in a lazy and tired manner.
The old man wasn’t fazed. He continued to play his game in silence for a while before he requested, “This old bones haven’t played a great game for a long time, I would like to taste your skills.”
“Old man Feng, this Young Master is a very busy person and is not in any mood to play games,” Rex sat in front of the old man who still hasn’t raised his head since.
“This old bone is afraid that Lu Yangzhou will grow mad if he knew you rejected my offer,” the old man continued, not wanting to take a ‘no’ for an answer.
He was trying to blackmail Rex with Rex’s grandfather. He thought that by bringing Old Man Lu into this, he could compel Rex to do his bidding. It’s been a long he played this game with someone and wanted to try it with Rex.
“Ah, I thought only the children have eyesight problems, even the old man is deaf and blind… too bad–”
Sounds of cracking guns interrupted Rex. The old man raised his hand to stop his men that were hanging around him.
Rex hissed in annoyance. This is why he hates talking business with old people. Stupid guards are always the first to interrupt with their busybodies. Does it look like he wants to kill this old man? Can he even kill the old man even if he wanted to?
“My men are hot-blooded,” the old man smiled and put down his hand.
Rex chuckled, “Old man Feng, why do your words sound like a threat?”
Telling Rex that his men are hot-blooded sounded like the old man was trying to warn Rex that if he ordered Rex’s death, the men behind him won’t think about Rex’s background before they kill Rex.
“Hehe, Young Master Lu jokes too much… what brings you to my abode, Young Master?” the old man finally raised his head. His eyes were white like a blind person’s.
Rex’s heart thumped when he saw those white emotionlessly eyes. They gave the vibe of a blind man, at the same time, a sorcerer.
Even though Rex wasn’t comfortable staring at the man’s eyes, he still did because Maverick had told him in the past to never cower in front of this man or show any fear. The reason is not known but Rex is an obedient man, so he follows everything Maverick said without questions asked.
“Your family has what belongs to us, Lu brothers and we want her back,” Rex replied, holding the old man’s eyes with his before he codedly shifted his gaze away.
“Oh? Young Master Lu seems to like jokes a lot,” he replied and shifted his gaze back to the Go he was playing.
“Call your children to send Piper back. With every hair that leaves her head, your children would be asking for war.”
