Chapter 866
Upon destroying the Oatker family, which was one of the Four Greatest Households, Karen had acquired a drug that they had developed. The drug was invented by the Oatker family to physically enhance their bodies.
Therefore, Chuck possessed that drug at the moment. An external application was sufficient for it to work. However, an injection would be much more effective. If he did that, he would not feel any more pain. It would also strengthen his muscles. That way, his strength would increase to a whole new level. It was the only method Chuck could use to confront the Yeager family.
”No, Young Master! Absolutely not!” Betty obstinately refused.
Yvette was also shocked by his announcement. “Hubby, don’t be like this! Once that drug enters your body, you’ll lose your sense of pain and your lifespan will be reduced too. Don’t do this!”
”This is my only way now!” Chuck clenched his fists tightly.
”It’s not the only way. If Auntie Karen knew that you were torturing yourself in order to avenge them, she would not be able to rest in peace! If you died an early death because of the drug, how would you face Auntie in the afterlife?” Yvette held Chuck in her arms. She resolved to stop Chuck.
Chuck was in great agony at the moment. If he didn’t take the drug, Yvette would leave as well and so would Betty. They would end up the same. How could Chuck let Yvette and Betty leave him like the rest had? Chuck could not do that.
”Please don’t. Even President Lee didn’t do that when she was alive. If you inject yourself with the drug, you would lose your humanity and you’d become a robot. How sad would she be if she finds out?” Betty tried to persuade him. Something like that would only be done by a desperate person. Only a person unafraid of death would do that.
At the moment, Chuck still had a bright future ahead of him. How could he turn himself into a machine that felt no pain?
”I don’t want you to leave too,” admitted Chuck in his pain. If in action meant that the people around Chuck had to die, he was willing to take the drug.
”Hubby, I won’t leave you. I’ll never leave you,” Yvette sobbed. It was because of Karen that she and Chuck were together. However, Karen had died! Therefore, Yvette would not leave Chuck.
”Young Master, don’t worry. We’ll be fine!” Betty shook her head. She was touched that Chuck was thinking about her as well.
”Okay. Betty, take me to the technology company! I want to get that drug ready! If there comes a day when I need to use it, I will use it!” Chuck said.
”Honey, Betty, you two need to be prepared as well!” Yvette and Betty exchanged a glance. If it was just for preparation, then that was fine.
Chuck lingered at the scene in great anguish for a long period of time. During that time, Yvette and Betty accompanied Chuck.
Betty also called for people to look for Willa and Black Rose’s bodies. However, they could not be found. That put Chuck in greater pain. He could not find Karen’s body, Willa’s and even Black Rose’s. Chuck felt so sorry towards them.
Meanwhile, Yvette stared blankly at the dried bloodstains on the ground. Willa was dead and so was Black Rose. It would be her turn next. She stared at Chuck with her beautiful eyes. From her gaze, it was obvious that she was reluctant to leave him. ”I’m not afraid of death. I’m just afraid of leaving you…” she thought to herself.
Betty, Chuck and Yvette arrived at the technological company. Each one of them prepared a dose of drug. It would all be fine as long as they injected it into their bodies when they were in danger. Once they did that, they would completely lose their sense of pain. Then, their strength would increase.
Chuck remained in the technological company for a long time. Once again, he increased the weight of the barbell he was lifting, determined to break through his limits again and again.
”Young Master! There’s someone looking for you! It’s one of Willa’s people,” informed Betty.
Chuck, who had been training like crazy, left the room to meet that person. The person was a trustee for Willa’s company, someone Chuck had seen when he had been in the country.
”This is what President Logan asked me to give you. This is all of President Logan’s companies, all of her property, money, cars, land…” The list of items was long.
Once again, Chuck began to tear up. Willa had given everything to him. She knew she was going to die, so she had passed everything over in advance. “Chuck’s heart throbbed and an urge to cry welled up within him.”
“…And these are President Logan’s most precious belongings, all of which are in the safe,” explained the man as he brought over a safe. He had found it in Willa’s office. It contained Willa’s most important belongings.
”Thank you!” Chuck muttered to himself.
”It’s my duty. Please take care of everything for her when you have the time.”
Nodding, Chuck softly muttered, ”I understand!”
The man left.
Chuck sat at the door and opened the safe. What was inside? It was not diamonds, nor gold, silver, or jewelry. It wasn’t a certificate of property ownership either. Instead, it was something very ordinary…
All of a sudden, Chuck was dumbfounded. He took the item out of the safe. It was a mask. A cat mask to be exact. Chuck was instantly transported back to that night. On that night, Chuck had taken the woman wearing a cat mask out of the bar. As he had thought she was Yvette, he had kissed her. Chuck remembered the feeling of that kiss very clearly. It was as sweet as his first kiss.
In fact, Chuck had given it some thought before. Others around him had also reminded him that the person under the cat mask was Willa. Nevertheless, Chuck hadn’t believed it. Therefore, he had also gone into Willa’s room to search but it was to no avail. Finally, it was revealed to him that he had indeed kissed Willa that night…
Although she did not resist, she turned to leave after the kiss. It was because she had been flustered and conflicted. It turned out that he had kissed Willa.
When Chuck recalled the memory, tears streaked down his face without him realizing it…
