The bloodl.u.s.t he has for Lu Jianjun is getting stronger by each pa.s.sing day and night and his thirst could only clench by his blood even if Lu Jianjun has stepped back but that doesn"t mean they will let him live. He has to come back to these dark valleys as he"ll make sure to take Lu Jianjun to the end of the cliff.
The cold room turned silent and still like the time is stopped by itself.
Speechless, Louis didn"t dare to breathe audibly considering the vague atmosphere as he stood motionless like a statue. His previous curiosity to know about the dead woman"s deeds was evanescing when Prince thought to enlighten him a little.
"You might be thinking, why she is such a special case?" A dark chuckle erupted through his lips as he tilted his head slightly looking at the zombie-like face which once gave the vibe of a fallen angel to indulge into fantasies but if one sees it now they will only have horrible nightmares.
Nevertheless, for them, she has always been a nightmare dressed like a daydream.
Meantime, Prince was wondering and counting her crimes for which she was sentenced to death when he remembered the serial bomb blast happened seven years ago.
How could he miss that segment, it was the official beginning of their journey as solid foes? Too bad, it took them seven years to identify the real face behind all that.
" Louis, do you remember Jean Blanc?" Prince said as he watched Louis bitterly twisted expression.
Of course, how could Louis not remember the cause of his dropping business and surrounding controversies?
Jean and Louis"s father George were half brothers from the same father yet they were rivals in the business world. Jean being the illegitimate son was given a fair amount of shares in Blanc Industries along with a few of the subsidiary companies of Blanc Industries to lead and George was given the whole Blanc Industry group.
Surprisingly, Jean made a deal with George and sold his subsidiaries for billions and started a new weapon manufacturing business. Within a decade Jean stood head to head with George and even taking over Blanc Industries. It was needless to say someone was backing and funding Jean"s business to grow everywhere and George struggled to get back the shares owned by Jean as his half brother was buying their stocks rapidly.
Soon enough Jean was ready to swallow the entire Blanc Industries and write it under his name to enter that 1% of the world"s cla.s.sified businessmen with two strongest and wealthier Corporation on which an entire country like State F"s economy depends on.
But luckily, George got a narrow escape when Jean became the prime suspect in that serial Bombing.
" I do," Loius replied nodding his head yet he couldn"t understand how is it related to the woman they are talking about?
"Hmm, you should also know that Jean has every reason and means to be a part of UoT if your father has supported him combining their power, wealth, and dominance on State F. Your father should have backed him to avenge against us. Obviously, we gave him a solid reason by kidnapping his two sons and torturing them. Alas, Jean was innocent to suffer all that. After all, you were a family."
"We were never a family."
"Ya, ya, I know, the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb besides your father and Jean didn"t even share a womb. You"ll rather call Lu Jianjun your cousin then accepting Jean as your Uncle. Am I right, Louis?"
Louis didn"t utter a word and stood with his head bowed down. It was just a strange incident that happened moreover, Lu Jianjun doesn"t pay any heeds to his saying, that man is very decisive and peculiar about bonding or forming any kind of relations.h.i.+p.
Lu Jianjun"s absolute and decisive in choosing the people around him.
"Anyways, She"s is the one who"s responsible for Jean"s suicide." Hearing Prince"s word Louis" eye went wide in disbelief and shock.
The first thing strikes him was...Jean"s dead? How?
Suicide? Not possible! He would never do such a deed. It was really impossible to believe he could actually commit suicide.
Isn"t Jean was sent to a mental asylum after he witnesses his son"s death? He was suffering from mental trauma.
Louis tried to figure out the whole scenario as he dumbfoundedly stared at the dead women. Could it be that the person killed Jean"s son was...
"Encountered. Yeah, this heartless woman killed both the father and sons. Could you believe it?"
"W-Who was she?" Louis asked fear evident in his voice.
" Seven years ago, she was a p.a.w.n but now, " the man chuckled at their own foolishness to believe she was just an agent nothing else. " Louis, Meet the late queen and the deceased heiress of Warren Empire."
Louis stood frozen. "Heiress o-of Warren Empire!!" he muttered absentmindedly. It took a while for him to register and process what he just heard. Words swirled in his head and it seems like his mind was blown off by knowing he has a helping hand in her a.s.sa.s.sination. His whole body quired in fright.
Is it too late to go back and undo what he had done? shocked, Louis prayed with a sincere heart inwardly. Hoping he won"t get caught.
The man smirked."Uh-Huh! She caused me a great loss and as well to you. She killed my innocent people and loyal slaves like Jean. Though, it"s a pity we have to force Jean to shoot himself. otherwise, he wasn"t a coward to commit suicide."
Onyx sighed inwardly and shook her head. Who said, her master"s grave hatred was only for Lu Jianjun, in fact, Venus smith had successfully shared Lu Jianjun"s burden of hate and revenge. Onyx felt fortunate as they never get to deal with this pair of devil together and never will that happened.
Who knows how lethal venus and Lu Jianjun"s pairing would be. Never. Even thinking of such a possibility should be prohibited. Handling and dealing with this ruthless man and woman separately demanded tons of courage and endurance just to stay a step ahead.
" Tsk, look at how she made us kill our own people without much effort. I"ve never seen such a cunning insolent b.i.t.c.h like her." Onyx clicked her tongue She warily looked at Louis and thought about what had actually happened at that time.
Nearly seven years ago, Underworld had devised and almost achieved a full proof plan to seize State F into their territory. The abduction and threating of Jean"s two children was only a drama for the world. In particular, Jean was their facade portraying as a victim of cruel Underworld.
A fraud case with well-framed and real evidence provided like torturing videos of Jean"s children which was actually a part of their physical training at underworld"s base.
Everything was planned.
Just so they could plant a mole in UoT or at least Jean could become a part of their system. In fact, Jean himself had sent his two boys to train in the underworld and severe them just like Onyx was also trained considering their individual capabilities.
How the h.e.l.l Jean got caught under suspicion was something also surprised them? But they didn"t delay to lay their card on the table and took the back seat leaving the case with their top-notch prosecutors in plea bargaining arguing and regarding the death penalty as inhumane and it encourages a "culture of violence".
They presented the culprit in such a way as Jean could be seen as a victim and not the terrorist he claimed to be. The masterminds in Underworld did that to see if t.i.tan"s have anything to do with this. UoT had the supreme authority such as they can deny the trails and discretely condemn their judgment to the supreme judge to act as said just like the other three got to tangle with UoT personally dealing with them as they don"t compile on evidence but what they suspect off.
No trails and no lawyers. Evidence can be created or destroyed hence they follow entirely different procedures. And if there are any shreds of evidence then UoT often leaves them on intelligence agencies to work on.
Everything was smooth and settled until the night of Jean"s public apology in his last press conference was aired on television after which everything switched so drastically that no one had ever imagined.
Onyx ground her teeth as bitterness spread throughout her mouth in accepting...indeed Venus was the most deadly combination a woman can have: She was a girl with a brain, a woman with an att.i.tude with a lady like cla.s.s. It was indeed impossible to understand that girl"s mind. She was an open book yet filled with mysteries.
No wonder that the man Onyx desired from the bottom of her actually fell so deeply and madly in love with Venus that Onyx could never compete with her.
