THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 81 – THE END OF SEASON 2
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 87
“Lu Ren, you should think about it. It has been found out that your wife is from our enemy’s side, so her death has been ordered in the previous meeting. You should forget about her and look for another woman. I have beautiful daughters if you want. They’ll make a good wife for you and a good mother to your children.”
Maverick paused and turned to look at the smiling old man. His lips curled into a faint smile before saying; “Old Man Wu, you should be resting. Farewell,” he turned and left with his men.
After he left, Old Man Wu’s grandson asked with a frown. “Grandfather, what does he mean by that? I feel it’s a threat to your life.”
“Don’t worry, Lu Ren cannot hurt me in the least. If he wanted to, he would have done so when he was here. Besides, the organization is already mad at him for what he had done to some of the members. He won’t dare to act rashly for some time.” the old man said.
“Ok. About his son and his wife, what you said, was it the truth?”
“Yes, it is, but it has not been decided by the majority. Elder Five is strongly against killing Jeslyn?… Is that her name?” the old man asked with doubt. He doesn’t care about Jeslyn, so he felt her name isn’t worth taking to heart.
“Yes, grandfather,” the young man replied.
“Good. That Elder Five, I wonder why he’s so against killing Jeslyn. He has even threatened to bring the organization down if a hair on Jeslyn’s head goes missing. Now he has been imprisoned in the base.”
“That’s strange. Elder Five never cared about anything.” the young man said with doubt.
“Yes, but he does now. He has a weakness and in no time, he’d turn out like his twin brother.”
The young man’s eyes lit up when he heard that, so he immediately asked; “Grandfather, would I get a chance to become an Elder of Elder Five or is it out of the picture?”
“Ahem,” the old man cleared his throat. “Why do you think I’m going all out to offend Lu Ren? A lot of people want to be an Elder.”
“Thank you, Grandfather,” the young man beamed. Just then, disturbing loud sounds shook the building they were in.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Loud explosions went off one after the other, sending the people in the room into a panic.
“What is going on outside!?” The old man questioned.
“We don’t know, boss!”
“Get the hell out there and find out!” the young man thundered.
“Boom!”
“Go, now!”
A guard ran out after that. Some time later, he barged into the room and reported in fright.
“Master, there’s– there’s trouble!” he said while trying to catch his breath. It was obvious he had been running.
“What the hell is happening?!” the young man abandoned his grandfather’s chair and lurched towards the guard. He grabbed the collar of the guard’s shirt while glaring at him.
“Young Master, there are–”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“There are fighting jets flying around the base and dropping down bom–”
“Boom!”
“F*ck!” the Young Master shoved the guard away in frustration. He tried to think of a way out and ruffled his hair when nothing was coming to mind. With one hand on his waist, he pointed at the door, “Get out there and blow those jets off!”
The guard stayed silent for a while before he responded, “Yes, Young Master!”
After the guard and his men left, Old Man Wu shut his old eyes and took a deep breath. He took out his phone to make a call but discovered there was no signal.
“Call your brother,” he instructed his young grandson.
“Yes, grandfather,” the Young Master brought out his phone. No signal!
“All of you, bring out your phones. Check if there is a signal,” he ordered the guards standing around.
Every single one of them brought out their phones but no signal could be found.
“Shit!!”
“Lu Ren!” The old man called through gritted teeth.
“Grandfather, what should we do?”
“We need to survive first. Let’s go through the tunnel back to the mainland.”
“Yes, grandfather.”
With everyone in the room leaving through the underground tunnel in the building, the thousands of men in the Wu base were left to die horribly in the devastating assault launched on them by none other than Alpha Chaos!
Inside the tunnel, Old Man Wu and his few men, plus his grandson had gone a long way. After leaving the tunnel, they would arrive at their other base, through there, they could easily go back to the mainland.
To them, they thought the other base was still intact, but unfortunately, they thought less of Maverick’s anger.
By the time they got there, the base was the remains of a ruined battleground.
“Grandfather,” the Young Master called in disbelief.
“Lu Ren!” the Old Man was also lost. This base was their backup. No one except Wu’s family and a few trusted men from his personal guards knew about it. How did Lu Ren know about it?
“Master, the route to the mainland is blocked.” A guard from the guards who had gone to look for a surviving soul ran back to report.
The old man held his chest. He was getting a symptom of a heart attack from all the stress.
Old Man Wu isn’t such an easy man to bring down but he was caught unaware by Maverick. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Maverick would go this far.
Jeslyn’s matter wasn’t brought to him. When his son ordered some men to kidnap Jeslyn and send her to his new girlfriend Christine, he took advantage of it. The old man ordered for Jeslyn to be killed. In the end, not his son, nor Maverick would suspect him. If matters were finally exposed, Christine would be the culprit. After all, he hates Christine and her older sister; Emilee.
Who would have known that Maverick would send someone to inform him that his son had beat the drum of war?
Why did he forget that whenever any Young Master offended Maverick, instead of dealing with the person, he goes to the oldest person in the family to settle scores?
How could the old man forget that Maverick believes that a child’s misbehaviour was because the oldest and the most respected person in the family condoned such an attitude?
The old man thought that by calling Maverick over and threatening him, plus making him believe that he knows about Jeslyn’s true identity, Maverick would compromise and let his son go. Unfortunately, he didn’t know Maverick too well.
At the opposite end, a helicopter slowly descended and Maverick got down with a few men trailing behind him.
The wind from the fans blew his black coat into the air, giving him a supervillain’s vibe.
“Talking of the devil,” the old man mumbled before he roared, “Kill them all!”
His men took positions and started to shoot in Maverick’s direction. Just at that moment, a fighting jet flew by.
When they saw the jet, all the guards forgot about the command to kill Maverick and started to run for their lives, abandoning Old Man Wu and his grandson.
However, would Maverick allow them to leave?
The fighting jet returned and started shooting at the men running for their dear lives.
Maverick stood in front of Old Man Wu and his grandson without even sparing the young man a glance even though the young man was pointing a gun at Maverick.
“Lu Ren, does your grandfather know this?” The old man asked.
“My grandfather is my grandfather. I am me,” he replied slowly.
“Very good. Do you think that nobody would know what you have done?” the old man asked again.
“Who cares?” Maverick asked with his head tilted.
“You are not afraid of offending the brotherhood, are you?”
Maverick slightly shook his head, “You just realized?”
“Do you think–”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Maverick didn’t let the old man finish before shooting him in the head. At that same time, Code 2 shot the grandson.
“Burn in hell,” Maverick said and turned to leave.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 81 – THE END OF SEASON 2
It’s been two days since the matter of the Wu base and the news of the destruction of the Wu base was tightly sealed by Young Master Wu even though he was going crazy in search of the culprit.
Not only was his father killed, but his nephew was also killed and their bases were destroyed, rendering their Wu family useless!
Christine had travelled to another Country for a tour while Young Master Wu was seen in his office, looking extremely serious.
Of course, he has to. The only thing that the Wu family has left to sustain them are the countless companies they have all over the place, but at this moment, all the companies seem to be going through different problems all at a time.
As the most intelligent one in the Wu family, he is left to handle the mess and pull the companies to stability before going all out to look for the enemy.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTER 81 – THE END OF SEASON 2
*Country Y…*
Christine was seen, preparing for her stage performance. It was an event that housed Hundreds of thousands of fans, waiting for their most beloved VJ Cute.
Placards with VJ Cute, Christine, I love you, and so on. Majority of them chose to use colourful light sticks or light bombs. The audience was a beautiful sight to behold.
Although Jeslyn’s concert was bigger than this, to C– list singers, this number of audience was a dream they wish to achieve, yet, Christine would be performing for them today.
Even though the audience was huge, to Christine, it was a ‘small group’ and she wasn’t pleased.
Inside her dressing room, Christine was seen throwing a fit.
“How can I perform for this tiny group? My debut had almost the same number of audience! Do you mean to tell me that I haven’t garnered much fans since then?!”
“Take it easy, Christine. Your tour was planned too late. Remember how it happened? You came up with the idea four days ago when you didn’t discuss it with anyone. The company wasted so much just to make this happen, yet we were able to gather 300,000 fans. Your debut had 310,000 fans. Your first and second concerts had 400,000 fans each. You should be happy.” Assistant Miles tried to talk some senses into her.
“Happy? You want me to be happy? Jeslyn hasn’t gone to another concert yet. Only her debut which was later turned into her concert had 600,000 fans attending in less than 3 hours! How is that not better than all my concerts put together?
“Jeslyn’s debut/concert music is still topping the charts as we speak! Her music; We Found Love is now in the top 8 on the Billboard. Spirit Leads is in the top 5 on the same Billboard!
“Most streamed music of the month, Spirit Leads! Best-selling music of the month, Spirit Leads! Most loved rookie, Jeslyn! Everything, Jeslyn!!!!” she screamed and swept her makeup off the desk.
Assistant Miles took a deep breath to calm her anger.
“Christine, you… VJ Cute is just a rank below Jeslyn. On the Billboard, your music could be found in the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th places. Second most loved rookie, it’s YOU–”
“VJ Cute!! Say it as it is! Everyone out there loves VJ Cute and not me! What do you think would happen if they find out my secret? They would chew me alive!!”
“Then don’t give yourself away due to your jealousy!!” Assistant Miles yelled back. She has had enough of Christine and just wants to leave.
“Your jealousy is poisonous! You should be content now that Young Master Wu has sent out his people to do your bidding. What else do you want?! Jeslyn must have been dead by now, what else are you not satisfied with? What?!!
“Your parents cooked up schemes to ruin Jeslyn and her mother, y’all succeeded. You and your older sister cooked up plots to send Jeslyn to jail and also killed her grandfather, you succeeded!!!
“Jeslyn came out by God’s grace, still, you plotted and almost got hit by her lawyer’s car. Everyone hated Jeslyn on that account and she went into hiding for a year while you took her place in the entertainment industry!
“I betrayed her for the benefit you promised me, I ruined her two friends, Emma and Ava for your sake, I did so many dirty things for you, yet you didn’t give me that benefit you promised!!
“Jeslyn came back and started afresh with a new voice, different from the one you and Maya had me ruined and it became your nightmare!
“You ruined VJ Cute’s dreams just because you couldn’t get rid of your jealousy for Jeslyn. Even though you are getting more than you deserve, you still aren’t satisfied!
