SWNOVELS Chapter 44: I Am Not His Biological Daughter
After getting a good look at the murderer, Lenard was engulfed in seething rage.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Edwin!"
Although Lenard had lost most of his teeth, he was still able to articulate his name clearly.
He was full of anger at the moment.
In order to employ the Lecherous Demon, Edwin's services, he even gave up on his most beloved mistress.
He had sent his beloved woman to Edwin as his plaything.
This was his effort to make Edwin his hidden weapon, in case something unpredictable arose.
Contrary to his belief, what was presented in front of him was something totally different.
Not only Edwin had slept with his woman, he had murdered so many of his highly-trained snipers, not to mention he hadn't helped him at all.
At this moment, Lenard's hatred for Edwin even eclipsed his hatred for Jacob.
Edwin emerged from the shadows and tossed those severed heads in Lenard's direction.
"You have already accepted my woman, so why did you do this?"
Lenard stared at Edwin as he was trying to hold in his urge to split him into pieces.
Those who knew of Edwin knew that to call forth this killer, one had to submit a woman he was fond of. As long as he could be satisfied, he would go all out to help that person. Edwin shot a lazy glance his way but didn't reply him.
He approached Jacob instead. When he was just two steps away from Jacob, he knelt down on one knee while saying in a low voice, "Master, the Lecherous Demon is reporting to you now!" He's reporting to his master?
Lenard's eyes couldn't help but widen incredulously. This scene in front of him was even more unbelievable than Edwin killing off his snipers.
Edwin's infamy spread far and wide. He was not someone who could be bounded by anybody or anything, so why was he pledging loyalty to Jacob?
Besides, wasn't he always serving that mysterious organization?
How could he see Jacob as his master?
"Get up now! It seems that you've mastered the Scripture of Yin-Yang Nourishing Witchcraft!" Jacob complimented him.
Edwin, the Lecherous Demon, was someone worthy of Jacob's attention.
He was able to master the Scripture of Yin-Yang Nourishing Witchcraft within such a short period of time.
In the past, he was using the wrong method to train his skills, and that had caused him to lose his vigour and youth considerably. He used to have mutilated skin and torn flesh, which made him look grotesque and inhuman.
At this moment, his skin was looking invigorated with blood pumping furiously beneath, and his whole demeanour made him look younger than his years, although he still had a menacing aura around him. "Thank you, master!" Edwin shouted while looking at Jacob with passionate eyes.
His passion was even greater than those mindless fans laying eyes on their precious idols.
Since Edwin started to train in the Scripture of Yin-Yang Nourishing Witchcraft, he discovered that before that, he was basically wasting his time training in useless art.
Furthermore, the Scripture of Yin-Yang Nourishing Witchcraft had opened up a new world for him. He was immersed in heaven and earth aura at the moment, and the internal power he had accumulated previously paled in comparison to this formidable aura. It could even be said that his previous training was trash.
It was the lowest level of cultivation among the low levels of cultivation.
Edwin felt that with his current might, he could single-handedly defeat his former self, ten at a time!
And this legendary scripture was bestowed upon him so nonchalantly by Jacob. This amplified Jacob's terrifying reservoir of power even more.
Edwin always wanted to become a mysterious yet powerful figure in the world. In this respect, Jacob was an idol he could admire!
Lenard was shocked beyond words as he stared at what was unfolding in front of him.
This was wildly out of his expectation.
"You guys can drop dead now!"
At this moment, Lenard discarded his thought to torture Jacob alive in order to avenge his son.
He just wanted to kill Jacob as soon as possible.
As he declared his intentions, Lenard raised the switch in his hands and was about to press on the button.
He could already see it in his mind how this master and disciple pair would be blown into smithereens by the bomb he had buried here.
Suddenly, at the last second before Lenard's thumb could push the button, he suddenly felt that he couldn't push through any strength to his hand.
He instinctively looked at his hand, but the next second he looked like he had stumbled upon ghosts.
Why was his hand broken without him realizing it?
His whole palm was nowhere to be seen which was supposed to extend from his wrist.
The wound at the end of his arm was clean and crisp, and there was blood gushing from the opening. The switch in his hand was severed in half too.
"Ah!"
An immense pain enveloped him.
Lenard only understood that Jacob must have lashed out his attack by waving his hands simply.
Even so, Lenard's palm was blown off just by his nonchalant movement.
At this moment, fear assaulted Lenard like he had never experienced before.
In addition, Lion and the lot of highly-skilled fighters who was standing by next to Lenard had their faces splattered with blood. Their expressions were those of intense terror.
"You haven't lost your teeth yet, let me help you!"
A frosty smile appeared at the corner of Jacob's mouth.
The next second, his whole figure blurred again, and he suddenly teleported in front of Lenard.
Lion and the lot of fighters from the Bell family didn't dare to move a muscle in front of such terrible force.
They couldn't even let the thought to interfere with Jacob to occur to them.
The next second, they could see clearly with their bare eyes how Lenard, their most respected and feared head of the family, was sent flying in mid-air after a slap had landed on his cheeks. He rotated and twisted his body for a few times before crashing into the ground several meters away.
Then, a mouthful of blood and teeth were being spat out by him.
"Finally you live up to your words! This is what we call laughing off all your teeth after hearing an incredible joke! If you can smile a tiny bit, it will be perfect."
Jacob commentated while standing on the same spot.
At this moment, everybody was staring at Jacob with endless fear and trepidation in their eyes.
Jacob was a devil!
Shattering expectations, Lenard managed to stand up again.
Then, he followed up with a smile on his face, but his smile was bitter and distorted.
There was sound of air passing through his mouth when he was speaking just now due to half of his teeth gone, but now that he had lost all of his teeth, his voice became clear again.
"You little bastard, I know that Lena is important to you since you'd paid her two visits prior to this. If I can't finish you, do you think I will let Lena live?"
Madness was written all over his face.
At this second, all he wanted was to offer everything to be associated with the Goldsmith family in the capital city. He had finally abandoned his dreams to develop the Bell family into a top noble family that could last for hundreds of years.
All he wanted was to finish this bastard in front of his eyes.
Even if he couldn't finish him off, he must do something to let him suffer.
This was the first time he had experienced such failure and embarrassment.
After finishing his sentence, Lenard produced another switch from somewhere on his body and immediately pressed the button.
The next second.
Boom!
A deafening sound filled the air.
A sound of something exploding could be heard somewhere behind Jacob. There were even sparks dancing around in the air.
Lena's villa was disintegrated instantly following the sound of explosion.
"You are really heartless! You can even kill your own daughter."
Jacob mocked him.
"That is because I'm not his biological daughter!"
At this time, a sound drifted in from behind Jacob.
A graceful figure slowly took shape in the midst of the smog.
This person was none other than Lena.
"Aren't you in the villa?" Lenard was a little surprised.
Immediately after, he burst into a fit of laughter with his face distorted, "It turns out that you've already known everything beforehand."
"Ever since you sowed distrust between us and made a move to guard against me, I've learnt of this fact!" Lena had a complicated look when he was talking to Lenard. She had never faltered in loyalty towards the Bell family.
She never liked Galip and Sharif, but she never used his status as the future daughter-in-law of the Goldsmith family to wrestle power from their hands.
She always did things that benefit the Bell family.
The only thing she tried to avoid was to marry Boyce!
Despite that, she never rebelled against Lenard's arrangement after so long.
"You've known this all along, yet you have to put on an act. It must be hard on you, my good daughter!" Lenard laughed with a strange look on his face. "Dad, I have a question for you. All these years, have you ever seen me as your own daughter?" Lena bit her lips hard.
"Daughter? Haha!" Lenard immediately launched into another fit of laughter after hearing Lena's words, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"I never see you as my daughter since the beginning. The reason I'd decided to bring you into the family is because you possess the legendary physique with the purest Kidney-Yin!"
"I am planning to make sure you grow up well and then absorb the Kidney-Yin from your body in order to give myself a chance to achieve the virtuoso level. Despite that, I was hurt soon after, and I had come to realize that with my talent, even if I had snatched away your Kidney-Yin, I would never achieve virtuoso level anyway. That's when I decided to use your physique with the purest Kidney-Yin to expand and empower the family."
"When I learnt that the eldest son of the Goldsmith family is a talented martial artist who has achieved virtuoso-to-be level in his twenties, coupled with the fact that he will go for virtuoso level after thirty years old, I decided to use your talent to associate the family with the Goldsmith family."
"From the beginning to the end, you are nothing but a chess piece for me."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
