246 Chapter 246
Angus, who was running crazily, suddenly saw a big shadow cast all over the place.
At first, he didn’t mind it but in a span of a moment, he saw the shadow shrinking back quickly and his eyeball enlarged.
He looked up while speeding up but it was already too late for him to escape.
A ball of fire descended and a loud voice was heard.
“Meteorite Smash!”
BOOM!
The sole of a foot stuck his head and his figure was slammed onto the ground heavily with a loud thump.
The ground rumbled and started to crack due to the minute explosion.
Dust and debris were swept away and a crater was formed as the cloud of smoke disappeared, Alex’s figure appeared and he stood on top of Angus while holding Christina in her arms.
“Why do I feel that the name of the move doesn’t match the action?” Christina muttered.
Alex laughed bitterly, he remembered a scene from the movie where a panda used to defeat his enemies by falling from above and hitting the enemy with his bum but since he cannot do something shameful in front of his wife, he has to use his feet.
Still, the effect wasn’t that bad and he was already thinking of incorporating the move into his arsenal.
Alex stared at Angus’s pitiful figure which had a huge horn on his head.
A gurgling sound was heard as blood seeped from Angus’s lips.
“Did he die due to my carelessness? It seems he was unable to take this small move of mine.”
“I don’t think so?” Christina spoke with a blank expression.
Alex put her down and holding the nape of Angus’s neck pulled him up and slapped him to wake him up.
“Whoo!”
Angus muttered with a trembling voice.
“It’s your daddy.”
Angus opened his eyes to see Alex’s face staring at him with a menacing look.
“Kyakkkkk!”
Angus screamed with a horrified look and his screams sounded like the shrieks of the pig.
“I will tell you everything you need if you can spare me and hide me somewhere,” Angus spoke while mustering all his courage.
Alex’s lips curled upwards and he spoke”No thanks”
“My hands were tied previously and I wasn’t able to kill you before but now.”
“Heheheheh!” Alex’s sinister laughter resounded throughout the place followed by strong strikes of thunder giving a chill down his spine of Angus.
“Angus, you have done well by coming here.”
“For all your hard work, I will give your death,” Alex spoke and snapped his neck, killing him instantly.
SNAP!
“Hush!”
“It finally ended,” Christina sighed, taking a deep breath.
“It’s not the end, it’s just the beginning,” Alex muttered with killing intent.
He wouldn’t be a man if he didn’t blow up the matter and muddy the waters.
…
Alex and Christina rushed quickly.
Although there was no possibility, still Alex was worried about his other wives safety.
‘Hopefully, their target was Christina, not others.’ Alex thought inwardly.
Who knows what goes inside the head of those shrews and what if dispatching men to fight Christina was just dragging her down until the real deed was done.
Alex and Christina arrived before a huge noble mansion.
It was Christina’s house, the place where all her sweet memories have been stored until they were uprooted.
The huge iron gates of the mansion were opened by the servants who greeted them.
They occasionally stared at Alex and Christina who had some blood on their cloth and a sack stained with blood on Alex’s back.
Both of them seemed to be wounded heavily and seeing them injured, they were a bit frightened.
Alex looked around and found no trace of battle.
Seeing everything was fine, Alex sighed in relief.
As soon as they entered, a commotion ensued.
Riya, Catherine and Athena who just came back all dashed toward both of them with a concerned look.
“Were you attacked?”
“My Lord, are you alright?” Riya almost threw herself at Alex after seeing Alex’s condition but Alex assured her.
Alex explained the events without leaving anything behind, putting down the shock.
“We just came back and someone had already started to target us,” Catherine spoke with disdain.
“Are you sure that it was that commander under the Second Prince’s side?” Catherine asked.
Christina nodded her head.
“That man, he wanted to nip off the bud entirely.”
“Damn!” Catherine stomped her ground in anger.
Targeting Christina was equal to targeting all of them and in the process, everyone can be implicated.
If they weren’t careful, they wouldn’t even live to see the next day.
Alex stared at his wives an anxious look and his blood was already boiling.
Although they weren’t strong that didn’t mean that they don’t have a backing.
If somehow Yvonne or Athena would have been attacked, the matter wouldn’t end simply.
Even if they weren’t present that didn’t mean he was going to take it lying.
To everyone’s surprise, Alex squatted down, and Alex opened the sack.
There were three corpses in it.
Alex pulled out Agnus’s corpse and muttered”Take care of these if anyone comes here and hand one to them.”
“Keep another one for now. We don’t know whether the investigation officer is a spy or not who would take the corpses and get rid of the evidence.”
Alex opened his chest armour and shoulder plates.
Alex asked for Riya’s dagger and taking it pierced his chest and drew a cut on it and similarly made a few more cuts over his body.
Alex and Christina had injured themselves so that they could be seen wounded in public eyes.
But Alex wanted to look more pathetic.
“Alex, what are you doing?”
“My Lord!”
They screamed in horror as they saw Alex wounding himself.
Even Athena was taken by surprise for a moment.
After wearing cuts, he cut Angus’s throat and held his head and spoke coldly.
“I am going to visit the castle.”
“Alex, have you gone mad,” Christina asked with disbelief. Her cold expression was replaced with worry and guilt.
“This is the best course to take now. If we don’t act now and show that we shouldn’t be trifled with, the moles would raise their heads one by one.” Alex spoke coldly.
Riya and Christina wanted to stop him but at that time, Athena spoke”The preparator might haven’t thought that Alex would blow this matter.”
“He might have expected that in the worst-case scenario, we would ask for an investigation and he could take care of the aftermath.”
“What do you think about this Catherine?” Athena asked.
Catherine pondered for a moment and spoke, “Logically we should follow a peaceful path and lay low until we are stronger but after seeing Alex though, I think he should do what he wants.”
Catherine spoke with a smile”You can’t wait to test the water, can you?”
Alex smiled and spoke, “Ladies wait for the good news.”
Alex turned and walked outside to leave.
Everyone who stared at his back suddenly felt as if he was walking on a plain filled with corpses and rivers of blood.
Alex held Angus’s corpse and flew straight towards the sky.
He had acted weakling and laid low only to see who was on his side and pity him or if there was anyone who could lend a helping hand to him.
But since then, it has come to this, there was no need to restrict anymore. Alice would be already taking a look at others and now he will be directly seeking justice from the Emperor.
It didn’t matter even if he had to kill his way in.
Athena watched Alex fade back with a complicated look.
“In the worst case scenario, what could be the punishment?”Christina asked with a worried look.
“Maybe a hand or a leg,” Athena muttered.
Riya’s expression stiffened and her heart started to beat wildly due to nervousness while Christina started to blame herself.
The men came for him and since Alex was seeking trouble, if something happened to him, she would be the one who had to bear the sin.
“With Alex’s healing power and blessing, he could even reattach the amputated legs only if the punishment ended with this,” Catherine spoke with an uneasy expression.
“Don’t worry, even in the worst-case scenario, The Emperor wouldn’t take his head,” Catherine spoke, trying to encourage others.
“It’s not that the Emperor wouldn’t, he dare not have any plans to harm him. Cause, if he dares, even the heavens cannot save his throne and I swear it.” Athena spoke, radiating a chillness that could freeze everything.
Subtle killing intent radiated from her, surprising everyone.
Seeing her temperament, everyone would believe that she can do what she said and her expression and her attitude were proof of it.
