Chapter 1334


    Standing beside Lucy, Sophia blew a smoke ring and said, “Of course, I know of it. It’s a mysterious


    ind located outside any national borders in Europe and belongs to no country. Moreover, the identity


    of the mastermind behind the scenes is aplete mystery. I heard it is a paradise for the wealthy


    where they can do anything they want there even if it is prohibited byw.”


    For instance, the killing of humans, cannibalism, and the hunting of humans as prey… Anything that


    will shock an ordinary person can be the bloody way the rich and powerful entertain themselves


    daily. She continued, “I heard that my uncle and his family are working on the ind now.”


    That was something that happened many years ago. I wonder if they are still alive after Linus sent


    them there. I’m sure Michael and Cooper are aware that Linus was one of the masterminds behind


    Devil Ind. Despite Linus’ cute and handsome appearance, his heart is as dark as can be!


    Lucy blew another smoke ring, her deep gaze studying Sandra, who had stuck her head out of the


    rental house just now. “How much do you think I can sell Sandra for?”


    Sophia frowned. “She won’t be worth much. Look at her; she’s all skin and bones.”


    When Sandra popped her head out of the house just now, Sophia could barely recognize her. She


    looked like a walking skeleton covered in skin. Her recent drug addiction had been unexpectedly


    strong. It had reached a point where she was taking the drugs constantly—so much so that it quickly


    depleted all the wealth she had and she was now penniless. As she was now, she was the very


    epitome of the saying ‘drugs kill’.


    On the other hand, Sandra was so terrified that she ran back inside when she saw Lucy and Sophia.


    She used the tables and chairs to block the entrance before hiding behind the door and trembling in


    fear. Even so, she could still hear the conversation between the twodies outside. She could hear


    Lucy’s voice loud and clear.


    “Since she’s not worth much, I might as well feed her to my wolves. I am raising two in my manor that


    feed on human flesh. Don’t worry; I will let her die a painless death. I will inject her with an anesthetic in


    advance so that her entire body will not be able to feel anything. But, her brain will remain alert when I


    throw her into the wolves’ den. She can watch as she gets eaten by the wolves, bit by bit. She will


    witness the entire process clearly. Her heart will beat slowly, so her death wille slow. Did you


    know? Wolves feed on the meatiest part of the body first. The headesst. Therefore, she will be


    forced to watch as she gets eaten but bepletely helpless against it.”


    Inside the house, Sandra covered her ears. I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it! She was


    terrified beyond anything she ever felt before. As she tried to look for a way to escape, she heard


    Sophia’s voiceing from the outside. “Eek! That sounds terrifying! I’m leaving.”


    Then, Sophia headed in the direction of her car. Lucy seemed to recall something and suddenly spoke


    up. “Tell your father to be more careful these days. Proceed cautiously; don’t leave any traces.”


    “Got it.” Sophia drove away in her car. It looks like Jordan is looking for a weakness to deal with


    Cooper. We better be more careful.


    After Sophia left, Lucy put out her cigarette, led her men, and slowly surrounded the small little rental


    house…

    From then, Sophia never saw nor heard about Sandra again. Sandra disappeared from the surface of


    the earth without a trace. Sophia didn’t know whether Sandra had been sent to Devil Ind or fed to


    the wolves. In any case, Lucy would never let Sandra see the light of day ever again.


    Meanwhile, Mitchell’s Technology was officially acquired and merged into Dragon Technology


    Corporation, bing Cooper’s property once again. The Mitchell Group underwent a series of


    divisions and reorganizations and was finally restructured under Cooper’s control. With that, it was


    bound to progress toward a bright future.


    Nobody knew if it was because Linus was the mastermind behind Devil Ind; Theo’s resurrection was


    against thews of nature; Cooper sold most of the military ammunition; or that Sophia killed too many


    minks. In any case, the pet pig died suddenly. By the time they discovered it, the entire pig had gone


    cold. Even so, Sophia hurriedly sent it to the vet. After the autopsy, the results indicated that it was too


    fat. It also had poor sleeping posture, which caused it to suffer from difficulty in breathing and resulted


    in death by suffocation. In other words, it died because it was obese.


    The pig used to be very popr. It once made its debut as a fashion model. However, it retired


    because its body was getting out of shape, and now, its glorious life finally ended on a calm note.


    The pig waster taken back home and temporarily ced in the backyard. When Carmen returned


    from school, she cried sorrowfully after learning that the pig was dead. Due to how young she was, it


    was her first timeing face-to-face with the word ‘death’.


    Upon learning the news, Michael rushed home only to see Carmen crying by the side. The sight of her


    crying distressed him greatly. Thus, he hugged her andforted her by saying, “Sweetie, everything


    will die eventually, whether they are man or pig. You’re still young. You will understand once you grow


    older.”


    Carmen looked at him with tears in her eyes. Then, she anxiously grabbed his hand suddenly. “Daddy,


    will you die too?”


    He did not know how to answer her question. Reaching out, he wiped away the tears on her face.


    “Death is not the ending. It’s simply part of a journey. Piggy might have died, but the truth is that it


    simply changed the way it stays beside you. Even if I die one day, I won’t actually leave you. I will still


    be by your side. You will still feel my presence beside you whenever you close your eyes.”


    She didn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words and continued to sob. Afterward, he carried


    her and walked around the garden, kissing her small face as he did so. How could I bear to leave you,


    my little princess? Still, I will have to leave soon. No matter how reluctant I am, I cannot control the


    strings of my fate.


    “Daddy, why are you crying?” She suddenly lifted her head to look at him and was surprised to see


    tears at the corners of his eyes.


    Wiping his tears, he replied, “I’m also feeling a little sad because Piggy died.”


    She quickly hugged him in response andfortingly said to him, “I’ll hug you, Daddy. That way, you


    won’t be sad,”


    Those small and tender arms wrapping around him felt like the chains of destiny that would never allow


    him to die peacefully…


    Following the death of the pig, grief enveloped the entire household. Nobody was in a good mood as


    they sat in the living room discussing how to deal with the pig. In the end, they decided to hold a funeral


    for it. They would choose a burial spot and hold a majestic funeral for it! To their surprise, Stanley and


    Sean rushed over with their children in tow while everybody else was still discussing their ns.


    “Why are you here?” Michael eximed in surprise when he saw Stanley appearing all of a sudden.


    Stanley replied, “I heard from Grand-uncle Theo that you are butchering a pig today. So, I came over to


    lend a hand!”


    Everybody was rendered speechless by those words. While everybody was discussing how best to


    carry out the pig’s funeral, Theo had dragged the pig to the kitchen at the back and butchered it cleanly.


    The intestines, fatty meat, and lean meat had been neatly processed—so much so that it looked


    professionally done.


    That night, everybody ate pork stew for dinner. Theo also made arge pot of braised pork belly. They


    didn’t know how he made it but it was especially delicious. Therefore, Michael ced some of the


    braised pork belly on Carmen’s te and said, “Eat more, sweetie. Eat and grow up well. Piggy will


    be part of your body and stay with you forever.”


    In response, Carmen ate heartily, converting her grief into appetite.


    Cooper also ced several slices of pork on Sophia’s te. “Eat more, sweetie. You’ve be thin


    recently.”


    Sophia frowned. “Dad, it wasn’t easy for me to lose that weight!”


    After eating and drinking their fill, Stanley and Sean went home. Stanley was holding his child by hand


    while Sean carried two pieces of fresh pork. Before they left, they said, “Come over to the cybercafé


    whenever you’re free!”


    Unexpectedly, an angry expression immediately came over Cooper’s face. It was a standard Cethosian


    father’s angry expression. “You are not allowed to go to the cybercafé!”
