Chapter 108 - I don't want it

After some time, Seraphina finally manages to escort her grandfather back to his room. She asked their attendant who was still awake to prepare him warm milk for him to sleep which they executed succinctly. Her sharp eyes that they never have seen before made the servants present flinch and felt rather intimidated. It clearly showed her disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e about what happened with her grandfather just now.

[ Inside Sebastian Yue's bedroom]

Seraphina was sitting on the chair beside Sebastian Yue's bed. The old man Yue was leaning against the bed's wide headboard. Still holding her hand, he finally noticed, that Seraphina was a little flushed and had a swelling on her cheek which made his brows knitted.

"Silly child, did you get into a fight again?" Although he sounded mad, however, it was more like he was concerned about her. He examines her face thoroughly with a worried expression plastered across his face.

"Hmm." She admitted tenderly. However, her answer made Sebastian Yue's frown. He spoke.

"Silly child, you always act like a boy! What would your grandmother say if she saw you like this, again? She'll scold the both of us, silly Seffy!" Sebastian Yue huffed before preparing to leave his bed. Seeing his action, Seraphina knew he will find ointment himself to treat her -- just like before when she was still a child.

Seraphina stood from her seat and sat on the edge of his bedside. She reassured, "Gramps, Uncle George already ask someone to buy some ointments for me."

Sebastian Yue heavily sighs. As he stared on her eyes, he reached out for her hand again as he started rubbing the back of her hand using his thumb. He spoke,

"Your silliness will make me live a hundred years." he humored.

[In the middle of nowhere far away from the central city]

A grand desolate mansion that was speckled with darkness caused by the absence of electricity masquerade its original glow. However, the greenhouse that was located just beside the gloomy manor was rather shimmering by the luminescent, milky white light radiating from the gleaming moon.

Inside the greenhouse, the spilled soft rays of moonlight diffuse on its transparent glass walls and roof. Every off-season flowers blended well with pale lightness as its source. It was supposed to be calm and relaxing, yet, the wounded man slumped on the ground disintegrate the scenery.

The ground was tainted with his own pool of blood. Wounds from many parts of his body were oozing with the red liquid as clear as rubies. Drenching his whole being with crimson blood, he gathered all his remaining strength to raised his head to the direction of the dashing man sitting in front of him.

There was a look of terror in the bloodied man's eyes yet, there was also a touch of astonishment with it. It seems that he could not believe his eyes, or rather he could not believe that this man could do something as horrifying as this.

In his memory, this man, the second young master of Han Corporation was notorious for being a happy-go-lucky kid. He was uninterested with the company affairs that he even chose entering the entertainment industry instead of taking part in their family business.

Alas, not until a month ago, when he came back from god knows where -- he started vying for power. He made use of his inherited shares and began purchasing and getting the board of directors on his side.

Apparently, the seemingly grand and elegant Han Corporation building with nothing but peace and income involved was in chaos behind the scenes. The battle of two princes for the throne which divided it's core members into two. Although each and everyone had their own agenda on siding with this second young master, no one really expect anything from him.

However, today, the man who's beaten black and blue witness his complete changed and capabilities or rather, he finally has shown his true colors. The man in their memory who can't even kill a fly neither flinch nor cower in the sight of blood in front of him. Moreover, his brown eyes were cold and menacing just like the first young master of the Han Family.

"Second… huh, Alexander Han… you got us all with your innocent act." The man meekly states in a mocking tone. He continued,

"Huh, surely, every man wanted to have authority." the man scoffs, yet, Alexander Han kept his stoic expression. After some time, Alexander Han finally spoke.

"A man only wants power when he realizes how powerless he is… because the people in this world are cruel. No matter how good or bad your deeds -- you'll get crushed with no apparent reason, right elder Gu?" Alexander Han tilts his head. His right hand propped on his temple while he leisurely crossed his legs. After a momentary pause, he continued.

"I won't ask why you wanted to always harm me just like today… or if you're only following my brother's orders because I simply don't care." With that said note, Alexander Han languidly stood up preparing to depart. Yet, the wounded man on the ground called out.

"You're indeed a Han. but, you'll never beat your brother without shedding your own blood. Han Corporation will never be yours!" his words sounded more of a warning than a threat. When Alexander Han heard elder Gu's last sentiments, he stopped on his tracks. Without turning his head, he spoke in a void of emotion tune,

"Who said I want it?" he then continues on his tracks. Elder Gu was left flabbergasted with his last word. A realization struck him the moment he put the pieces of information he gathered.

"If Alexander Han doesn't want the Han Corporation, then does that mean…" he murmurs. Alas, the instant Alexander Han left the glass house, another man with a silencer on his possession approached elder Gu.

*BANG!*
