Chapter 521 - Five Hundred And Twenty-one: Money Or Family (1/2)

The third point of view:

”I heard you love to beat women. Let's test out that theory, shall we?” Eden grinned, but to a certain human called Baz, he looked like a grim reaper from hell.

All blood drained from Baz's face, what did he just hear? A sheen of sweat covered his forehead and his palms became clammy from fright. However, the man still decided to test out his luck. For all he knows, his son-in-law might be pulling his legs.

”Hehe,” He laughed nervously, ”Son, you have a dark sense of humor. I almost thought that you meant that,” Baz attempted to lighten the tense environment, ”You didn't mean it right?”

Eden didn't say a word to him, instead he bent down and took a long puff of his cigarette, blowing the smoke at his face and released a smile that didn't touch his eyes. He said, ”I always mean what I say,”

At once, ice-cold fear like the claws of a tiger gripped Baz's heart tightly and goosebumps appeared on his arms. Eden's blue gaze was so dark it seemed he was staring into a bottomless pit.

”I always forgive the past but I never forgive the present because it means your cup has finally run over,” Eden stood up, gesturing, ”Bring him in. It's time to teach the elderly how to behave,”

”No, no, no!” Baz screamed, trying to escape their clutches but he couldn't fight against three able-bodied young men who subdued him in no time, bringing him into the factory.

Baz could only scream and whimper as they dragged him into the ghost factory. The factory was large and decaying with a section of the roof ripped off. There were rows upon rows of gigantic machinery - more than a hundred - and they took up more than the floor of a football pitch.

The man couldn't tell what was previously being manufactured in the factory but a part of his heart told him he didn't want to know - he just wanted to get out of here. Baz swore mentally that he would never bother Camille if Eden gave him a second chance. He didn't want to die, boohoo.

The man was roughly dragged to a part of the factory where a larger machinery lay and he gulped upon seeing the opening. If the machine was still functioning, he would be ground into a paste if he fell in by mistake or in this case, thrown into it.

”It's still operational,” Eden told him as if he had been reading his mind. Well, one didn't need to be a werewolf to smell Baz's pheromones since he stunk of fear greatly.

His legs were trembling as he stared open-mouthed at the machinery that would smash him into a paste.

Baz immediately rushed at Eden, his guards dragged him back roughly, he fell. But the man got on his knees and began to kowtow to him.

”P-please, have mercy. I'm just an ignorant old man who got too greedy for money... You can take all the cash,” He gestured, ”I don't need them anymore. You can have them all. Take them away!”

Eden chuckled, the sound reverberating through the empty factory, ”You think a man like me needs money. I have all the money that I could ever want,” He made it clear to him.

”Then what do you want?” He rubbed his palms together in a pleading manner, ”I would do it just for you to spare my life,”

”Really? Spare your life so you could find another way to make Camille's life miserable?”

”No, no,” Baz shook his head quickly, ”I'm not going to disturb her anymore. I just got too greedy,”

Eden said with a heavy heart, ”You see that's the thing with a pest. You give them a chance to live by not pulling them out by the root, the next, they grow up beautifully and bountifully, even choking the beautiful flowers one plants,”

He added immediately, ”Even up to now, you still haven't acknowledged your sins, blaming your greed instead of apologizing to your daughter who you almost ruined her LIFE! ” Eden said in an outburst that made Baz shiver.

”I'm sorry, forgive me please,” Baz cried out.

”You're sorry?” Eden smiled cruelly, ”What are you sorry for? Sorry for the fact your daughter sold her body just to provide for herself and her family? The fact that you failed as a man and as a father? Sorry for the fact that you don't deserve to live? You know what?” he threw up his hands, ”Even death is a merciful punishment for your crimes,”

”Which is why...” Eden stretched his hand over and a document was handed over to him, ”You're going to sign this,”
