Chapter 224 - Revenge 224: Have The Pleasure To Kill It

"I-is this real?" Marcus asked with a hint of hesitation in his voice. He is having a hard time believing every word that is said to the video Kyle showed him.

"Mr. Coleman, you know my reason for this, so why would I lie about this?" Kyle expected this much hesitation from Marcus Coleman, and he is glad that he did not react as if he did not want to know the whole truth.

"T-true." Marcus stuttered. This is the first time that he stuttered to someone else other than his dead wife. He is still on the brink of processing everything in his mind. "At this age, this is too much for me to handle. All this time I—"

"You thought that they killed each other by will? Or they killed each other because of the hatred they both have towards one another? Which one is it?" Every word that Kyle releases were firm and with a hint of mockery at Marcus' incompetence.

Kyle knows that he should not treat his elders like that, but he can't help it; Marcus Coleman has the ability to solve this in just a day, but he decided not to do so because he is in pain. However, how can he even relief that pain when he doesn't even want to face it?

Marcus that mockery in Kyle's words, but he let it slide because right now, he feels ashamed of himself. He was blind, really blinded by the anger he has for all these years. Now the truth is finally out, he is having a hard time sinking it in.

He glances at the young man in front of him and was amazed by how capable he is. Compared to Juan, Juan is nothing. Like he is blinded by his anger, he also blinds by how sincere Juan's act is.

He wonders why did he fall for such an act Juan is portraying in front of him. But even if he wants to imagine that he did not fall for Juan's act, it won't change anything because it has already happened; it won't change anything.

Taking a deep breath, Marcus calms himself down and looks at Kyle with seriousness hinted in his eyes. "Have you already showed this to your grandfather?" Even if Marcus allows Kyle to pursue his granddaughter, he thinks it would be impossible if Elijah Robertson is getting in the way. Right now, all that Kyle needs is his grandfather's approval to freely pursue Anna.

Marcus is afraid that if Kyle were to not have his grandfather's approval, there is a big possibility that Kyle might get kicked out of the Robertson family. It would such a waste for the Robertson family to kick out such outstanding young men like Kyle.

Even if Kyle were kicked out of the Robertson family, Marcus is sure that Kyle can make with or without the Robertson. He got the feeling that Kyle might even exceed the achievements of the Robertsons in just a few years. That is how great Kyle is from Marcus' perspective.

"No. I have not." Kyle honestly answered Marcus' question.

"You have not? Young man, the first thing you should do after finding this information is to tell your grandfather." Knowing that he is the first one to know this information, Marcus felt that there is something wrong is going between Kyle and Elijah.

"My grandfather? I think you already know that my grandfather is a hard man to convince, so it is better to show this evidence to someone who is not as stubborn as my grandfather." In Kyle's thinking, if he were to show this video to his grandfather first, it will take some time to make his grandfather realized that this video is the whole truth. So for him, it is better to show it to someone who can accept it quickly.

'Better to finish the easy one first before facing the hard one.' He said inwardly.

Sighing Marcus looks at him seriously, "Child, if you are doing this because you are in a hurry to pursue my granddaughter, then you don't have to. Anna is young and it seems to me that she doesn't have any man particular in mind." Marcus reassured Kyle that there is no need for him to hurry because he is sure that Anna is more focus on the organization than to look for a man.

If he were to say the truth to Kyle, he would say that he is happy to see that Kyle is really serious about his granddaughter. But Marcus sees a problem in that; he knows that Elijah is a man who won't anything that he dislikes gets involved with any members of his family.

If this is going to be a disagreement between Kyle and his grandfather, Marcus is sure that something bad will happen to his precious gem.

"I am not worried about that. Besides, you don't have to worry about the situation about me and my grandfather. I'm handling it, I can assure you that Anna won't get hurt in the process." After saying that Kyle stood up and bid his goodbye to Marcus, then left Marcus' study office.

After Kyle left his study office, Marcus was silent for the whole five minutes. Things are still processing in his mind. For the whole time, Kyle was in front of him, Marcus felt the urge to cry. But he stopped himself from doing so; it is not because he doesn't want to look weak in front of Kyle, but he doesn't want to cry until the real culprit behind his brother's death is buried deep underground.

"It has been years since that day. I wonder if you are still alive you goddamned bastard." Marcus felt a little bit disheartening because of the possible fact that the main culprit might be already dead since it has been too long. But at the same time, Marcus is hoping that the main culprit is still alive, so he can have the pleasure to kill it.
