Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 254

254 Who is Elder Five?

Randy was asked to not come along but he blatantly disobeyed and Damien wasn’t mad about it.

“Where do you think I’m heading?” Damien hissed without looking back.

“That’s the twins‘ quarters.”

Damien turned around and glared at Randy. “So? Is the compound and quarter theirs? Can’t I take a tour around my enemy’s house and see where I can attack from?”

“Of course,” Randy sneered and rolled his eyes. His master has become soft but to be honest, he likes this side of his Master more.

Randy wasn’t an indigene of Country M. He grew up knowing fun and Love but circumstances turned him into what he has become.

Damien suddenly stopped walking and turned around. “Say, are those girls angry at me?”

“Huh?” It took Randy a lot of time to understand his master. “Of course! Who wouldn’t?! You ‘killed‘ them, remember?”

“Aish, don’t say it like that. It was all a scheme and by the way…” he narrowed his eyes and started to walk towards Randy. “How did I not perceive Maverick’s scheme? You helped him out, didn’t you?”

“Wh- what are you saying? I didn’t, didn’t…” Randy started to walk backwards in haste.

“What do you think you are doing?… Stop right there…hey!…. Where are you going?!… Randy, stop running!…. I promise I’ll break your legs for making me chase you around!” 1

“Hahaha…. I’ll be stupid if I wait for you to catch up!”

That night, two figures could be seen running around Maverick’s compound while laughing and screaming.

Maverick’s men couldn’t help wondering if this was the same man that they’d been fighting for ages. He was laughing while running, painting a picture of a young and happy child. Although some of them were not comfortable with him being around the mansion, they didn’t bother to get involved since their Master brought him here in the first place.

A while later, Damien and Randy were seen lying with their backs on the sun loungers beside the pool, panting with their faces up.

Randy turned his head to Damien whose eyes were closed and said: “Boss, you’ve changed so much. Do you like this side of you?”

“What? Haven’t I always been like this?” Damien retorted nonchalantly.

“Haha… quit playing around. You’ve not been yourself for some days now.”

“What changed wasn’t me but you. You’ve been very disrespectful lately and you seem not to be scared of me anymore, so I’m wondering if I should cut you into smaller pieces or just throw you whole into the sea for sharks to feed on. I think the latter is more kind to fishes. What do you think?” Damien asked slowly in a drowsy voice, though he wasn’t feeling sleepy even though his eyes were closed.

A chill ran down Randy’s back. “Haha…You don’t have to scare me like that. It’s fine, it’s fine, I won’t talk about your changes anymore. But Master, you should be a little nice to me, I’m the only one who hasn’t abandoned you from my batch. Others fled to Emilee’s side and those on the island left with other Bosses, thinking you won’t be able to leave ever again and that with the ATOM in you, you will die soon. So sad,” he sighed.

“Those betrayers, you shouldn’t be seeking permission to go kill them like this. We both know I won’t spare them… However, this is not the right time. We can’t beat the bush to startle the snake. No one knows I’ve left the island, except the higher–ups.” Damien’s lips stretched into a sweet smile.

Randy brought up those who betrayed him because he felt it was time they settle those people.

“Yes, boss, but what should we be doing while we are here? You asked me to gather Intel and I’ve done that already.”

“That’s fast, who did you get it from? You didn’t call our people, did you?”

blood dry.”

“No, I bought the information from Code 10. That greedy idiot almost sucked my

“Maverick and his people are leeches. Just play smarter next time, so, what did you find out?”

“Emilee is growing more powerful by the day. She had made connections with lots of our enemies. She seemed to have made your life a wager for peace. Emilee made a deal with Echo cooperation and the terms and conditions state that you can be killed by anyone from the Echo groups if she breaches the contract. Maybe she brought you forth as the true leader of the Yu faction for this…”

“Yes, the witch is a smart one. She does not intend for me to return, so she’s making plans for whenever I step foot in the Country. Ha…” he snorted, then thought of something and asked: “When was this deal made?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“This afternoon. I’m guessing she’s aware that you’ve arrived because Emilee rejected a business collaboration with Echo cooperation three days ago but suddenly, she sent them an invite yesterday. Isn’t it strange?”

Damien frowned. Yes, it is. No one knows that he no longer has the chip, so why is Emilee openly trying to kill him? Also, everyone thought he was still on the island… his eyes snapped open and his lips curled into a crazed smile.

“Elder Five seems to be desperate to get rid of me. Is he aware that I’m trying to make up with. Maverick?”

“I’m sure that’s the case, boss.”

“Impressive. Hahaha… Say,” he turned on his side, facing Randy. “Does Elder Five not strike you like a familiar person?”

Randy’s eyes widened and he gasped. “You noticed?” He has been having this weird feeling that Elder Five is someone close to them but he has no idea who it was. Because of that, he didn’t bother to let his master know that and was planning on finding out the truth somehow.

“Of course, why won’t I know my twin brother, stupid.” Damien chuckled like a maniac,

Randy bolted up like he was electrocuted and almost fell from his action. “Wh- what are you talking about?”

“What? What’s so weird about that? Ruben and I aren’t very close, so why can’t he seek to benefit? I also killed my older brother for the leadership position, right? So what’s wrong if Ruben or anyone else in the Yu family comes for me?”

“Master!” Randy sat back down and sighed helplessly. “Have you lost your motivation to live? They will really kill you if you don’t fight back. Ruben, he was never one who would betray you like this. What if it isn’t him? What if someone else is disguising as him just to tear your relationship apart?” He asked.
