Chapter 242


    242 The childhood conflict


    Maverick and Damien arrived at Country M’s airport at night, yet Damien had no intention of leaving.


    “Where do you think you’re going?” Maverick asked.


    “I should be asking you that. Why are the spirits of the girls I killed following you around? Did you


    summon them?” He made a sarcastic joke as he looked at Kimberly’s sisters that were glued to Code


    10. 10.


    He had noticed them since they entered the ne. He was shocked to see them alive and it dawned on


    him that Maverick had been messing with him. Kimberly must be part of the n but now that she was


    unconscious, he can’t ask her anything. Good thing the girls were alive, now Kimberly won’t hate him


    anymore. He smiled.


    “Hmm… to haunt you,” Maverick responded as he made his way to the line of ck cars that were


    waiting for him.


    “Too bad, their spirits are even scared of me, so how would they haunt me?”


    Maverick turned his head to the side and curled his lips. “Soon, you’ll understand.”


    Damien frowned. He was right. Maverick was digging a hole for him to fall into and it seems he cannot


    resist falling into that hole. Provided the n doesn’t take his life, his wealth, or his Kimberly, then it will


    be fine.


    Maverick entered the car that was opened for him. He ced his head on the headrest like he always


    does and tried to close his eyes. However, before he could lose himself in his own world, the other side


    of the door opened and someone got in.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Maverick knew that neither Code 2 nor Code 10 would get into his private space without being


    summoned, so he opened his eyes to see but was a little taken aback when he realized it was Damien.


    Maverick raised a brow and said; “this is my car.”


    “Of course, I’m not saying it’s mine…Wait, you weren’t intending to leave me here, were you?” seeing


    that Maverick wasn’t saying anything, Damien chuckled. “I followed you here, so it’s only right that you


    take responsibility for me. Moreover, I have a lot of enemies, especially Emilee. She’ll immediately kill


    me before anyone from the family knows I’m back. Until I’ve found out who is backing her, I intend to


    hide and your ce is the best hiding spot for me.”


    “What makes you think I can’t carry out my revenge on you?”


    “You have no reason to kill me just yet.” Damien sighed. “You found out everything I did and you were


    undoubtedly angry but still spared my life until now. It means that I haven’t wasted my usefulness. Until


    then, you won’t kill me, I’m sure.” With that said he smiled bitterly.


    Maverick nced at him but said nothing and rested his head on the headrest and closed his eyes.


    Damien stared at Maverick’s side profile for a long time as he slowly traveled down Memoryne. Little


    Damlen of around 4-5 years was eating in the cafeteria with his twin brother, Ruben who was of the


    same height but was a little bigger and looked more powerful than Damien- he was stronger as Damien


    appeared to look a little unhealthy.


    A momentter, Maverick walked in with his three friends. Fin, Matt, and Celestine, and came to stand


    in front of Damien and Ruben.


    Damien was all smiles as he looked at the person he wishes to befriend but never paid him attention.


    “Maverick, you saw the note?” Damien asked with a sweet smile.


    However, instead of Maverick answering, he looked at him with disdain, pulled out a paper from his


    pocket and pped it on the desk in front of Damien, then turned and left with his friends. Damien was


    hurt by that look that Maverick gave him but before he could take the paper and know what was written


    on it, Ruben took the paper and tore it into shreds.


    “Ruben, what are you doing?!” Damien demanded with an angry tone as he gathered the pieces and


    tried to piece them together, but failed.


    “What else? He already looked at you like a worthless thing, do you still want to read a letter from him


    that would insult you even more? Brother, stop being stupid. It’s obvious you cannot be his friend.


    Grandfather, Father and Mother said that the Lu family is our enemy and we must kill them if we can!”


    “Stop talking nonsense. The older people are the ones at war, not us children. I like Maverick and his


    friends and want to be a part of his circle. If you can’t help me, don’t interfere anymore!”


    The image switched to two yearster. Damien was still stalking Maverick and was eager to be his


    friend but as usual, for some reason, Maverick always felt disgusted.


    On this day, in the cafeteria, Damien brought extra food from home and offered Maverick some. He


    identally heard from his parents that Maverick’s parents were having a fight. Believing that Maverick


    must not have eaten, Damien made his nanny get him more food.


    When he ced the sk on the table, in front of Maverick who was looking lost as his friends ate while


    his side of table was empty, Maverick didn’t look at him with disdain and Damien was very excited.


    “I- I brought you something. It’s your favorite. You should try it, I guarantee it’s very delicious and you’ll


    like it.” Damien beamed with ure innocence.


    Maverick nced at him for a little more than his usual one–second look, thehe looked at the sk and


    was about to speak to him for the first time in his life when Ruben came over and knocked the


    sk away.


    “Didn’t I tell you to stay away from him? He doesn’t like you one bit! He’ll only make fun of you again.


    Are you so stupid?!” After that, Ruben tried to drag Damien away but Damien resisted and threw his


    brother’s hand away.


    “What is your business? I said I want to be his friend. How is that your concern? Please stay away from


    my problems, I don’t want you to interfere anymore?!”
