THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 71 – 80
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 72
“Calm down and talk to me, what did you say happened?” the old man frowned. He had no idea what his children had done.
Rex stood up and turned to leave. Why would he stay back to continue feeling uncomfortable in the presence of this old man that refused to die when his mates are already below his seat?
“Wait, you should drink some tea,” the old man said.
Rex didn’t look back and started walking away.
‘This old man is mad!’ thought Rex.
Drink some tea from a notorious family? Over his dead body. Seating with the old man alone stirred his heart, especially when their eyes met.
It felt like the man was draining his blood. Rumor within their circle has it that one of the ancestors of the Feng family was a sorcerer and left her powers in an object in the family’s shrine.
Some said that Old Man Feng was able to gain enlightenment and became the family’s sorcerer which was why he got blind and his eyes turned white. Others said it was just a coincidence that the man was blind and still has white eyes.
Whatever the people say is not Rex’s problem. His problem and that of everyone else’s who knows the Feng family is:
How could a blind man see?

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 71 – 80
*In a desert…*
A few black cars were seen speeding through the desert and in no time, they stopped a few meters away from a huge dark cave-like structure.
Maverick got down from the car and strode towards the cave-like structure in large strides.
In front of the entrance were Maverick’s men, lined up to receive their boss.
“Welcome, boss,” they all bowed in greetings, but Maverick ignored them and strode in.
Inside the dimly lit dark mine that was supposed to be brightened by the rainborite ore, Maverick stood there, with his hands tucked in his pocket as he gazed around the huge hole on the wall– where the rainborite ore was supposed to be.
With his eyes fixed on the huge hole, he asked, “What happened?” his voice wasn’t loud but it sent chills down their spines.
One of the men who were stationed around the cave stepped forward and knelt on one knee beside Maverick while reporting.
“We were raided. After the fight, we found that the mine had disappeared.”
“How was the location found?” Code 10 frowned.
The head guard stayed silent for a few moments before speaking up, “I sent a few men to the town to get us something, but they failed to watch their backs and they were traced here.”
“By who?” Code 2 asked.
“They wore masks and we couldn’t find anything on those we killed or injured. We tried to force the injured ones to talk but they committed suicide,” the headguard reported.
“How many casualties?” Maverick asked.
“Twenty men died and fifteen were injured. I’ve sent them to the facility,” the head guard replied.
“Where are the enemies’ corpses?” Code 10 asked again.
“They are at the facility,” the head guard replied.
Maverick turned around and walked out of the mine, heading to the facility.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 71 – 80
*Inside the facility…*
Maverick strode into different sections that were divided by curtains to see the injured men.
Examining them, he noticed the assaulters used blades instead of guns. The assaulters must have known that using guns would mean that their identity would be exposed, thanks to their bullets.
If they had used bullets, it would have been easy for Maverick to trace them.
With this move, it means this person is scheming, however, being scheming doesn’t mean Maverick still won’t be able to find out who these people were. It might only take some time.
Maverick watched for a while as his men were getting their injuries stitched before leaving to see the dead ones in the morgue.
Inside the morgue were the dead enemies and his men. The dead enemies had pure white faces and their eyes were bulging out. Their lips too were white and had cracks on them.
“What type of poison were they given?” Code 10 asked with a frown. He had never seen this type of poison where the person’s eyes and mouth turned pure white.
“We just sent a sample of their blood to our hospital in the city.” the doctor in charge replied.
The doctor is one of Maverick’s people and when he meant ‘our hospital,’ he was referring to Maverick’s hospital.
“Send one of them to Matt,” Maverick instructed before looking around one more time.
…
Oldest brother Feng was in his new location when he received a call from his grandfather.
He answered the call and the next thing he heard was the old man’s thunderous roar.
“Bring that lady back to her family, this instant!!”
Oldest brother Feng frowned. He told his brothers to keep this matter a secret. No one but Feng Long would open his mouth.
Thinking of that, rage built up in his heart as he took the phone off his ear.
His mind flashed back to what Brian told him inside the sub-basement:
[ “Only an insecure weakling uses their fist at every altercation. It’s a shame you’re the senior son of the Feng family, no wonder the family prefers Feng Long. He is calm and collected. At the same time, calculating and would probably be the head. Hahahaha…” ]
Those words, “It’s a shame you’re the senior son of the Feng family, no wonder the family prefers Feng Long. He is calm and collected. At the same time, calculating and would probably be the head.” rang a couple of time in Oldest brother Feng’s mind with his fist clenching and teeth grinding.
He didn’t do all he had done in the past, he didn’t sacrifice so much for the family just for a little half-brother like Feng Long to steal his position. He is never going to be alive and watch that boy rule over him, never!
“Feng Long, I warned you to keep this a secret,” this sacrifice was very crucial to his position in the organization.
To the others, he wanted to kill Piper because of her mother but only he knew that he wanted to sacrifice Piper because of her unique blood.
Blood type doesn’t matter much for their demonic blood sacrifices at the Dark Age Organization, but to the god of the Half-heart organization, she loves rare blood, which was one of the reasons Oldest Brother Feng took the two to one of the many shrines of the god of the people of the Half-heart organization.
Oldest Brother Feng lied to his other brother that he was going to sacrifice Brian and Piper to their ancestors, but in fact, he took them to their rival’s shrine.
Oldest Brother Feng has this belief that Zucchini, who by the way is an enemy of the god of the Dark Age organization would grant him his heart desire, something the god of the Dark Age organization is ‘stingy’ to give.
He wanted to be the next sorcerer.
[ Zucchini is the name of the idol of the Half-heart organization. ]
Oldest Brother Feng gritted his teeth a couple of times with anger visible on his face. He promised to deal with Feng Long if he’s betrayed and he’ll surely do that.
The man walked out of the guest house to stop the ritual. It turned out that he had been in a cabin house in the middle of a thick forest.
Behind the cabin house, a cave stood not far away. Guardians wearing red hooded gowns stood around everywhere, guarding the place.
Inside the dark cave was a large dimmed space with a red transparent curtain that blocked Oldest Brother Feng’s full view from what was happening on the other end.
Behind the curtain were hundreds of candlelights lit for whatever reason that wasn’t to illuminate the cave because there was a small window up on the tall cave that rays of the evening light shone through.
The ray of evening light was deliberately fixed on the two individuals laid on the two stone beds.
The smell of intoxicating incense filled the cave. Piper and Brian could be seen tied to two stone beds that were made in the middle of a big ‘X’ symbol, drawn in the middle of a huge circle on the floor.
People in red hoodie gowns surrounded the huge circle drawn around the big symbol, chanting some incoherent words with their hands making an ‘X’ sign on their chests.
A priestess in white, with a white decorated staff by her side, was sitting with legs crossed at one end of the big ‘X’ symbol, chanting with eyes closed a few steps away from the only statue in the spooky cave.
Sitting on a beautiful throne was a realistic woman’s statue, dressed in a red sexy gown. On her head was a gold crown with a half-heart made of red Ruby in the middle of the crown.
On one hand was a gold cup and on the other hand was a gold knife with red on its tip.
Her lips were red, her hazel-colored eyes were filled with lust. She was simply a devilish seductress!
Although she was a statue, it was the most beautiful realistic statue anyone had ever seen.
She is Zucchini– goddess of lust and seduction!
Piper was crying and sweating profusely while struggling to free herself from the ropes binding her to the stone bed.
Brian, on the other hand, was calmer than ever. Whatever was running on his mind was unknown, but if one looked at his wrists closely, they’d see that his fingers were fumbling with the ropes.
Oldest Brother Feng didn’t go beyond the curtain but rather knelt outside the curtain and said aloud; “Feng Gu is here to have a word with the great priestess!”
The priestess’ eyes shot open. They were white, like Old Man Feng’s.
“Master Feng, why interrupt the process of seeking Zucchini?!” the priestess frowned deeply.
[ Zucchini hates men, which is why no man, except for the sacrificial lambs, is allowed to be in Zucchini’s presence. ]
Oldest Brother Feng quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, your grace… The sacrifice should be stopped–”
“Impossible! You cannot take away Zucchini’s meal after you’ve given it to her!” the priestess yelled.
Oldest Brother Feng was already on his knees, so he kowtowed seven times. “If you help me plead with Zucchini to return the sacrificial lambs to me, I promise to bring you the seven young virgins and seven pregnant women that you’ve been asking for,” he said.
“Hahahaha… very well then,” the priestess laughed and got up. She started to dance slowly and in no time, her dancing intensified like a possessed being.
The chantings from the people in red hoodies also intensified. Their eyes were closed and so were their souls. They felt like they weren’t there anymore.
The chaotic chanting from the people ruled over Piper’s weak cries. Brian turned his head in her direction and whispered in his hoarse voice.
“Quit being stupid and do what I tell you.”
Piper stopped crying and slowly nodded.
Thirty minutes passed before the priestess stopped dancing and turned around to look towards the red curtain and said;
“Master Feng, your offer was rejected!” she said.
Oldest Brother Feng was stunned, “but why?”
“The two sacrificial lambs you brought are dearly loved. One has a rare blood that tastes good and the other came to this world with a pair… Zucchini wants his pair too… if you can get his pair, not only will your deepest wish be fulfilled, you will reign above men and your name shall travel far and wide as the man with Zucchini… all living things shall hear your name, and prostrate in fear as Zucchini resides in you!!” her voice was very loud. It felt as if no one would hear her if she spoke softly.
“Y– you mean my body will be a container for Zucchini?!” Oldest Brother Feng asked in surprise.
“Yes, Master!”
“I– if my body becomes a container for Zucchini, what about the Doyenne of the Half-heart organization? Is Zucchini planning to abandon them? Have they wronged her?” Oldest Brother Feng asked in bewilderment.
“Beware of having your tongue sliced off! What you ask supersedes you!!”
