Chapter 104: James Wilson Wimps Out
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas asked that question monotonously, his emotions unreadable.
However, when Wilson heard it, he was scared soulless.
He hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum and denied. “No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare to! I-I was just joking. Ahem, just joking! I definitely wouldn’t dare!”
“Oh, really? Just now, you also said that you want to break my arm and leg, didn’t you?” Lucas glanced at Wilson.
Wilson broke out in cold sweat and wished he could slap himself. “I-I just like spouting nonsense. Don’t take it to heart!”
Seeing how terrified Wilson was, Charlotte was really surprised and relieved. She stole a glance at Lucas and quietly looked at her hand that he was holding. Her heart was full of bliss and a strong sense of pride.
“Well, your wife just hit my sister-in-law and mother-in-law and even snatched her bracelet away. What are you going to do about that?”
Lucas’s voice suddenly turned calm, but Wilson still felt that he sounded like a demon.
Now, Lucas was obviously in a more powerful position than him, and it was up to Lucas to settle scores with him.
Wilson gritted his teeth and pulled the dumbfounded Sharon over from the side. Without hesitation, he slapped her twice, making her swollen face even redder.
“Bitch! It’s all your fault! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Gray!” Wilson kicked Sharon’s knee, causing her to drop to her knees immediately.
Sharon usually liked to take advantage of Wilson’s power to throw her weight around. Occasionally, she would be coquettish with him too. If he hit her under normal circumstances, she would definitely cry and throw a tantrum.
However, now that he was really infuriated and looked like he wanted to kill her, she was appalled and hurriedly rushed to apologize to Lucas. Begging for mercy, she pleaded, “I’m sorry! Mr. Gray, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so rude to you or called someone to take revenge on you. Please forgive me!”

Tears covered Sharon’s chubby face that was already red and swollen. Her hair was messy, and she was now kneeling on the ground and pleading with tears. She looked extremely distressed.
Lucas was not the type to abuse his authority and bully others. To be honest, she didn’t get any advantages from them either.
“What exactly happened between you just now? How did the fight start?” Lucas asked.
Sharon instantly blushed and seemed conflicted and at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Wilson kicked her again. He urged, “Mr. Gray is asking you a question. Hurry up and answer him truthfully.”
Sharon said hesitantly, “I saw your mother-in-law’s bracelet in the bathroom just now… and I thought it was very pretty. I liked it very much, so I wanted to buy it from her. But she wasn’t willing to sell it to me. She even called me a… fat bitch and said that the bracelet wouldn’t look good on me. I was infuriated and made her knock into me. My bracelet broke, so I made her compensate for it with hers. We then… got into a fight.”
Sharon felt her face burning up, partly because she had been slapped and partly because she felt embarrassed about apologizing.
On the other hand, after Wilson heard Sharon’s account, his face turned increasingly gloomy, and he wanted to kick her a few times.
The Wilsons were a prestigious family in Orange County, and they owned all sorts of precious jewelry. Yet James Wilson’s wife tried to cheat another woman out of her bracelet. It was a huge embarrassment to the family!
At this moment, Wilson felt a burning pain in his face. He was extremely embarrassed!
In particular, the peculiar gazes around him made him feel awkward.
“You bitch! Have I not bought you any bracelets and jewelry? I spend millions of dollars every year on you. Are you that superficial? You tried to snatch someone else’s belonging just because you took a liking to it. You’re so embarrassing!”

Wilson was so angry that he slapped Sharon’s head a few more times, causing her to cry out loud.
Lucas frowned. “That’s enough.”
Only then did Wilson stop and say, “Mr. Gray, I failed to take her in hand, and that’s why she did such a thing. I’m really sorry. I’ll make sure she apologizes to your mother-in-law!”
Lucas glanced at him coldly and took Charlotte away without another word.
James immediately pulled Sharon, who was petrified and sitting still on the ground, and followed behind Lucas.
The group of burly men were still rolling and wailing on the ground, while the onlookers had already evaded far away.
Meanwhile, Karen seemed extremely flustered after running back to the room alone.
Cheyenne couldn’t help asking anxiously, “Mom, what just happened? Where are Lucas and Charlotte? Why didn’t they come back with you?”
Karen tried to act as if nothing had happened. “Oh, they just went to foot the bill and told us to wait for them at the entrance.”
Cheyenne didn’t believe it. “Mom, you basically didn’t eat anything. Why did they foot the bill so quickly?”
Karen waved her hand impatiently. “I’m full. Let’s hurry up and leave!” While speaking, she hurriedly tried to grab Cheyenne and Amelia. She even glanced at the door of the private room from time to time in fear that those people might charge in.
Cheyenne became more and more suspicious, feeling that there was something amiss about her mother’s behavior!
“No, Mom. Where exactly did they go? I’ll give them a call and ask.” Cheyenne took out her phone from her handbag to call Charlotte and Lucas.
“I told you they’re waiting for us outside! Why do you have to call them?!” Karen’s expression changed drastically as she tried to snatch Cheyenne’s phone.
Suddenly, the door of the private room opened, and Lucas and Charlotte walked in.
Seeing that they were in one piece and didn’t look like they had been beaten, Karen wanted to ask them about it. But she suddenly saw James Wilson and Sharon Hart following them in!
“Oh my god!” Karen was so frightened that she started shuddering. She immediately sprung up and hid behind Cheyenne as she spluttered, “Don’t come over!”
Karen suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at Lucas. “This good-for-nothing is the culprit! If you want to settle scores, go to him. It has nothing to do with me!”
Cheyenne would be a fool if she still couldn’t tell that there was something wrong. She held Amelia tightly in her arms and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
