“Why did you say that? When did I torture and humiliate you? I served you well. I even hired the best physician to cure you. It’s fine if you didn’t thank me, but you slandered me. Well, how ungrateful you are…”
Quinton placed the antique vase carefully before he took the bowl of medicine from the servant. Waving his hand, he asked the physician and servant to leave first. After that, he slowly walked to Halston and waved his hand in front of Halston.
As expected, Halston made no response.
“Alas, just have the medicine. It’s better to stay alive.”
He was full of complicated feelings. After shaking his head, he handed the bowl to Halston, whose facial features were perfect, but his gaze was dull.
“I told you. Get lost!”
When Halston smelled the deep scent of the medicine, he waved his hand and nearly turned the bowl over. He gnashed his teeth and shouted, “Where is Flossie? I want to see her!”
Quinton reacted quite agilely and dodged it in time. Only then did he keep the freshly brewed medicine intact.
Unable to take any more, he placed the bowl on the table and grabbed Halston’s neck angrily. He then said fiercely, “Don’t flatter yourself! You’re a blind guy now! It’s very easy for me to kill you. Stop challenging my patience again!”
However, Halston did not resist at all. He let Quinton do what he wanted and said with despair, “Sure, just go ahead and let me have it. Of course, it’s better to be dead rather than live on like this.”
“You…”
Quinton gritted his teeth furiously. However, he could only let go angrily and cursed, “What f*cking sin did I commit to suffer such consequences? You ruined my face and territory back then! I humbly suffered in silence for four years. But I didn’t even get to take revenge on you after I came back. I even have to serve you well. Well, why do I have to suffer so…
“Let me warn you one last time. Drink the medicine. If not, I’m going to force it on you!”
He put the bowl of medicine near Halston’s lips again and threatened Halston to drink the medicine as if he was threatening a child.
Alas, if his sister did not ask him to keep Halston alive before she left, he would have gotten rid of Halston. Why did he have to dillydally and waste each other’s time?
“Don’t you hate me to the core? Why didn’t you kill me but keep me alive?”
Halston’s eyes were dull as he asked in Quinton’s direction.
He was poisoned by a highly toxin venom. He might have died, but he seemed to hear someone calling after him when he was nearing death. The crying voice made his heart ache, so he tried his best to wake up.
Unexpectedly, he learned the truth when he woke up. The thing he would face was more frightening than hell.
Humph! The proud and superior president of H Group had become a blind man. He was now a cripple who could not even walk.
“Drink the medicine if you want to know the answer,” Quinton said slowly.
After a brief pause, Halston found the bowl of medicine before he leaned his head back to gulp it down.
“Can you tell me now why you’re keeping me alive?”
His thoughts were very clear. He made a guess and hit the nail on the head. “Did Flossie say something to you? You guys reached some kind of deal… What is your relationship with her?”
He vaguely heard Flossie address Quinton as her brother and Quinton address her as his sister when he was in the water dungeon.
However, wasn’t Flossie the only child? When did she get a brother out of the blue?
He had too many doubts he needed to figure out. Even if he had to die, he had to die without any doubts.
“I don’t have to tell you about our relationship. The reason I keep you alive is because I’m kind and generous. I don’t want my pawnshop to be stained with blood…”
“Ridiculous!”
Halston snorted and retorted, “Is Night Demon someone to be trifled with? You’re born a demon, and you regard the lives of others’ lives as mere dust. You know very well how many people you’ve killed. I got rid of you guys cruelly that year to get rid of the harmful people for society, and I’ll still do the same now. So, you’d better don’t let me off the hook!”
Consequently, Quinton became quite baffled.
He was greatly infuriated that he was at a loss for words.He had been fighting against Halston for so many years, but he had never yearned to break his neck so much as he was now.
But for the sake of his sister, nephew, and niece, he had to suppress his urge.
“Don’t worry. I told you I’m kind and generous. Of course, I won’t bully a blind guy.”
Quinton cracked a mean smile as he tried his best to poke at Halston’s sore spot and said,
“Blind guy, today’s weather is rather good. Do you want me to take you out for sunbathing? You’ll get so bored mulling over in the room all day.”
Halston became speechless.
Quinton continued, “Don’t be a shy blind guy. I can be your white cane for the time being.” Halston was rendered speechless again.
Hence, a strange scene appeared.
The once two sworn enemies of Beach City were now on the roof together, facing the river at the border of three kingdoms and lying on the lawn chairs comfortably. They were basking in the sun leisurely.
Of course, Quinton was enjoying himself thoroughly, but Halston was full of wrath.
“What do you want? Tell me. You don’t have to humiliate me again and again!”
He clenched his fists tightly. He struggled to get up from the lawn chair several times, but Quinton considerately pressed him down.
“Well, can’t you relax? I told you we’re here to enjoy some sunbathing. It’ll help you to recover sooner. Why do you think I want to harm you? Are you paranoid?”
When he reached that point, he fed a round and crisp grape into Halston’s mouth. “Have some fruits to give your body some vitamins.”
Halston flared up in a rage, but he could see nothing. He was just a disabled person. What else could he do?
“When are you going to let me go?” He asked desperately with a low and deep voice.
But he regretted it the moment he raised that query.
It was because he did not have to ask that question at all. It was just humiliating himself.
Both the Guajardo family and Carmine Pawnshop fought against each other vigorously that year.
Quinton was a man who haggled over everything. He finally gained the victory. Why would he let his enemy back home?
Quinton slowly sipped the tea and gazed upon the wide river ahead of him. The world he created was beneath him. This world was once so glorious. Although it was gray, it at least brought him extreme power and endless wealth.
Unfortunately, this world could be ruined so easily by the man before him
Logically, he should have fed Halston to the crocodiles in the river, but… his desire to kill him had somewhat subsided.
It might be because of his sister or that he had been lying low for so many years. He did not like killing as much as he was in the past.
“Why? You don’t want to die? Do you want to launch a counterattack?”
After that, he turned around and looked at Halston with a smirk. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you a ride back to the Guajardo family after your body is clear of the snake venom.”
“Are you willing to let me go?”
