Chapter 28 - Maxmillan's Wrath

Chapter 28 - Maxmillan's Wrath.

"I guess I have given enough time." Maxmillan who didn't sleep since 1 am that he woke from his nightmare that covered him in sweat, said with a certain vicious glow in his eyes.

He then leapt to the ground from the high rooftop and began to walk to the garage, which was about a hundred and twenty meters away from where he currently was.

***

Immediately Maxmillan arrived at the garage and entered through the gate, he became the cynosure of all eyes.

Then very quickly, many of the carriage drivers gathered around him with fearful and reverent looks in their faces.

While Maxmillan who gazed at the large assembly gathered before him with a light of exceeding viciousness shining from his eyes, asked with a tone that gave off unequalled savageness, "So, have you all been able to work out the driver that conveyed my mom to the city? If so, produce him. Let me speak to him."

Immediately Maxmillan asked that, someone walked forward with a sheet-white skin, which was as a result of the terror that Maxmillan's towering and barbarous-looking figure heavily struck him with.

"P-Please, take it easy on me. Don't harm me. I will talk." The man that stood before Maxmillan with fear written all over his face, mentioned in a stuttering manner.

"Hmm." Maxmillan said and nodded his head.

He then asked as he gazed at the man from head to toe, "The last time I was here, you weren't here. I guess you weren't around, right?"

"Y-Yes, I wasn't around. I-I had gone home to my family in the village to give them some money to purchase cattle for rearing." The man fearfully replied.

"Okay." Maxmillan said with the nod of his head.

He then gazed at the man and asked, "I believe you must have the seen the picture that I dropped with your colleagues. Now, the woman in the picture. Where did you drop her? Don't tell me at some locations the city, because I know the woman that we are talking about really well. If she was in the city, I would have long seen her. She will come to me herself. So, do tell me. Where is she? Talk!"

"Y-Yes, I-I have the seen the picture that you dropped with my colleagues. And I can recall her face pretty well." The man who looked forty-some and had his skin grow whiter from fear and heart-wrenching horror, immediately replied. Albeit in a stuttering manner.

"Okay." Maxmillan said with the nod of his head.

He then spoke further with the harsh light radiating from his eyes greatly intensifying and invoking terrific fear in all of them, "So, what really happened to my mom on your way to the city? Speak the truth, for if you lie, I will know and instantly make dozens of holes in your head!"

"I will tell you. I will tell you." The driver cried out in fear.

"Actually, on my way back to the city from Greenriver town, I came across some people on the road path. They had sprung out from the forests on both sides of the road and ordered me to stop, or they will reduce the carriage and everyone in it to splinters."

"But at that time, I was carrying only the person that was in the picture that you dropped with my colleagues. And why I carried only her was because she paid me much more than what I would get from waiting till the carriage is filled with passengers."

"However, it seemed like she was in a great hurry to see someone, because I could sense extreme impatience and total anxiousness in her voice, which felt like a second more of not being around the person that she possibly wanted to go meet in the city, would lead to the destruction of the person. She kept hurrying me up and was willing to pay as much as possible to make the carriage move with only her in it."

"However, the men that stopped us, who were dressed in black and radiated extreme ferociousness, viciously dealt with your mom because she tried being a hero. Although she actually tried, where she killed off all the men, about twelve of them that came for us, and then a lot—like probably forty out of the massive reinforcement that appeared to capture her. After being overpowered in the end, she was ruthlessly dragged away."

"But because she was stubborn, the men dressed in black who had bound her with magical energy, beat her to a bloody mess before coldly mentioning to her that they had the intention to sell her off as a docile pleasure slave to whoever would be the highest bidder. So I heard from the masked men dressed in black outfit." The man narrated, while Maxmillan whose eyes were cold, had turned much more colder that the earth beneath him and others could turn to solid frost.

Huuuuuu!

He exhaled with a really cold breath exuding from his nostrils.

"Mom, I am sorry. Your son is really sorry. He brought this sort of mess upon you. But he promises that he is going to clear all the mess that he put you in. The smile that has ceased from your face will be restored. The pains that you experienced will be returned a thousand folds to the people that abducted you and made you suffer. And if it's that they have sold you off, the two parties that are involved will be blazed to the ground, for even thinking of committing such dastardly act to you."

"For this sin that they have blatantly committed against you, many will pay for it. Countless factions will experience the wrath if me for touching a hair on my mother. I will make sure it's my mission to destroy every clandestine group that I will ever come across."

"Every underground faction, hall cults, above-the-clouds secret groups, covens, and the numerous hidden ones in the city, I will make sure it is my duty to obliterate every single one of them." Maxmillan said with an aura of unearthly fierceness beginning to emanate from his towering figure. While the drivers that flanked him on all sides, looked at him in tremendous shock as he spoke, exceedingly glad that they didn't make an enemy out of him, or none of them would be left standing by now. He simply seemed like a blood-lusting vicious wargod at the moment.

'Such love! Such determination!!' They said within themselves as Maxmillan spoke with blazing anger in his voice that radiated nothing but fearsomeness, fierceness and unequalled vicious savagery.
