That evening, as Eric strolled home from school, his mind became a whirlwind of thoughts. He couldn't help but mull over the unexpected turn of events in his life.
'Why? Why they turn out to be the top-tier antagonists Abram and Aisha from the novel instead of some random guys?
A sadistic gay and a gold digger, those who ruined the life of Abaddon in the name of hatred for being an illegitimate child of their father. Bullying, rape, assault, mental torturing… there was no cruelty left behind them to create an ultimate psychopath villain.
Damn novel, why it had to take a ten-year leap after Eric's suicide to start the original content? And what funnier is, this timeline is the most crucial period where the life of villains' changes… Every single villain character fall into the darkness deeper to a point, their hope, expectations and faith were broken into million pieces. So, a devil minded destructor can be born from the ashes of burning fire in their hearts.
I feel bad for them, but that doesn't mean… it had something to do with me nor concern me. However, when the villain's enemy became my rivals that's not the case anymore, especially those from the white dragons.
Emran, Aman, Abram, and Aisha—these individuals existence were a deep trouble for me. Their sole mission was to seize control of the Black Dragon clan, using any vile means necessary. Unfortunately, I became Eric Jonas, the only successor standing in their way.
(Years ago, Eric's brother died in an accident; Alan recently killed by Eric, and the left alone illegitimate child Aamon, is still a secret.)
Anyway, I can't touch them recklessly. A single mistake can bring me down to hell, especially now when I have nothing more than a family name in my hands.
Having no stable support nor power.
What to do?
Think Keith...Think.'
"Young master, young master Eric…" As he immersed himself in his thoughts, Eric was startled back to reality by Aiden's voice. The quick pull saved him from an oncoming car, and Aiden scolded him for not paying attention to the traffic lights. "Are you out of your mind? Can't you see the traffic lights, it's still green… Where are you rushing to… hell."
"S-sorry! I'm just thinking about something that I-I didn't see the car…" Eric explained in a confused manner.
"Huh, Are you alright!" Taking an overall look at Eric from left, right, front, and back, Aiden worriedly asks.
"Yeah…I'm fine." Rubbing Aiden's hair, Eric said it with a smile to ensure him.
"Be careful, you just gave me a heart attack…" Avoiding eye contact with Eric, Aiden moves forward with a light smirk on his face.
After reaching the bus stop.
"Aiden, do you have some money?" While waiting for the bus, the nearby candy store caught Eric's attention.
"I have some… Why?" Without thinking, Aiden easily answered.
"I want to eat lollypop…"
"WHAT! Are you a KID?"
A few moments later, the two found themselves inside the Honey candy store.
"WOW, there are many variety chocolates… Look it's a bunny shaped candy? Is it a new product?...
Young master, can I buy some too…" Aiden was drawn to the wide array of chocolates, while Eric headed straight to the lollipop section.
However, there isn't much flavor left, orange, grapes, and watermelon are all they had. In them, his favorite (grapes) stands there as a limited one. And he was surprised to see a little girl in a school uniform eyeing the same grape-flavored one he wanted.
"It's mine!" Saying it, she tries to snatch the one from Eric's hand.
"Little dummy, how can it be yours? I'm the one who picked it first." Taking it back to his side, Eric opposes.
"I'm the one who saw it first."
"Should I care about it? Pick something else instead of annoying me..."
"Big brother, can you please give that one to me? It's my favorite." Taking out her final weapon, the little girl cutely asks Eric with sparkling eyes.
"No," Breaking her little heart, he said without any second thought.
"You bad boy… I will show you…" Shouting at him, she glared at Eric with full rage.
Avoiding her, Eric went to add it to Aiden's bill which was filled with many unheard chocolates' names. However, before they leave, Eric teased her playfully by slowly licking the lollipop in front of her.
Successfully, making her scream Eric went outside the shop with a satisfactory smile which made Aiden clueless.
Meanwhile, at Butler Itt's residence, Kim and Itt engaged in a significant conversation.
"Boss, the test results are negative. Alan is not Jonas's son," Kim reported, showing Itt the DNA results. "Additionally, we found out the identity and whereabouts of that mysterious woman.
Her name was Alisha Vin. She currently resides at West Tower Town Gate with her son, Aamon. They run a small restaurant near Lake Palace." Giving the detailed report related to her, Kim concluded his words.
Glancing at Alisha Vin's photo, Itt couldn't help but smirk coldly, "Alisha Vin—the secret woman whom Jonas is searching for all his life... It looks like we'll be meeting soon, baby..."
