Chapter 295


    295 Rex’s true feelings


    “Get them!” 1


    “F*ck Brian cursed as he turned to see the hoodeddies running over. What else could he do? Their


    lives are over, he thought.


    Brian could only watch the hooded people run over to surround them. He was powerless and too weak


    to fight.


    He could reveal his identity but his identity would rather make the priestess and her Zhini,


    cucumber, or whatever she calls that ugly idol, angry even more.


    “Zhini is indeed right. She told me that you and your pair are stubborn and defiant. From what


    you’ve done, It’s indeed true. Too bad Zhini hates men, else, she would have married you like she


    intends for your chosen pair. But don’t worry, your blood will satiate Zhini for a while… Tie them up!”


    the Priestessmanded.


    Just when the hoodeddies were about to grab Brian and Piper-


    “Bang!”


    A gunshot sound came from the entrance and the closest hoodeddy to Piper fell as her life left her


    immediately. She was shot in the skull.


    Everyone in the shrine was startled for a long while before the priestess screamed;


    “Abomination! Who brings a weapon to Zhini’s presence!!”


    It is forbidden to enter zhini’s shrine with a weapon, except a knife that the priestess holds for


    sacrifices.


    “I did… what are you going to do about it?”

    “Bang!” Another hoodeddy standing by Brian was killed.


    “Nothing!”


    The mouth of a ck gun shifted the red curtain out of the way and a blue–haired young man walked


    into the shrine.


    He looked at Piper and said; “Hey, you look dead, tsk, tsk, tsk… you should thank my sister–inw


    after this,” with that said, Rex picked up Piper before leaving with Brian.


    “Take care of this filthy ce,” hemanded the tons of men he brought over.


    Few secondster, the loud sounds of gunshots reverberated in the cave before an outburst of fire shot


    out from the cave after Rex’s people left; they had set the ce on fire.


    Outside the ce was littered with corpses of hoodeddies that were supposed to be the guadians of


    the ce.


    After everyone left, inside the ming cave, a butterfly flew out of the nose of the statue and flew out


    through the window.


    The gold cup fell from the idol’s hand and the red liquid inside it sshed everywhere. The candles


    went out but thanks to the meing from the burning cave, the ce was lit.


    Under the nket of the night with a full moon as the only source of light, A few cars sped out of the


    forest.


    In one of the cars, Piper was resting her head on Rex’sp as she clutched tightly onto his blue shirt


    with all the strength she has left. Her eyes were closed.


    For the first time, Rex gazed at her with softness in his eyes. His beautiful and proud sister looks like a


    sick child from the slum. It hurt his heart so much that he nned to kill Feng Gu himself.


    Memories of how he discovered this ce shed through his mind.


    After leaving the Feng house, Maverick called him and sounded very serious while ordering him to go


    all out in search of Piper and Brian.


    Rex understood why he would search for Piper but why add Brian to the search? He didn’t understand


    until Jeslyn called him and described the ce she saw in her dream. 3


    Even though he assured her that he would, Jeslyn refused to stay calm. She would call at almost


    interval to know how far he had gone.


    every


    Good that he came, else he might have regretted it after Piper died. Rex had no idea that he could be


    this soft andpassionate towards Piper. He also had no idea that all the hate he had for her would


    suddenly evaporate like it was never there.


    Rex slowly brushed her messy hair out of the side of her face and sighed; “Why did you get yourself


    into this mess? Why can’t you behave and love yourself? Did you do this just to have your brothers


    running to save you?” he sighed again.


    “Why did you stick to that heartless woman? I hated you because you loved that woman who hates


    your brothers so much. Who doesn’t like to have a beautiful sister like you? I do… Everyday, I wish to


    come out and tell the world how much I wanted to protect you so no one would dare just you. But every


    time I saw you, you were always smiling with that witch by your side… why?!” he caressed the side of


    her face with the back of his fingers.


    “Brother doesn’t hate you either, he just doesn’t want to have any rtionship with that woman and he


    believed that acknowledging you would mean epting your mother… see?


    “Us brothers will wee you if you denounce your mother ande to us.” he lowered his head and


    hissed her hair.


    Unbeknownst to Rex, Piper had long woken up and a stream of tears were running down her eyes.


    Never in her life would she know that her brothers never hated her. Never in her wildest dreams would


    she knows that they ignored her because of her moth-


    Mother? No, she no longer has a mother. Her mother died the very first day she separated her from


    Brian. All these years, she had been with that woman because she thought her brothers hated her.


    In a country like ‘Paradise in hell‘, she needed to be under someone’s protective umbre, else she


    would have long died. Her mother was that protective umbre she needed.


    Now that she knows her brothers‘ thoughts for her, she can leave that woman now.


    Piper couldn’t contain the tears of sorrow and joy that was running down her eyes and wetting Rex’s


    trousers right now.


    Rex was also carried away by the pain he was feeling that he didn’t feel the wetness on his trousers.
