"He's h.e.l.l-bent on forcing me to separate from my woman."

Conrad kept his silence. Following which, the older magnate sighed and then replied, "Since you're being like this, I won't pretend anymore that I don't know what you're talking about."

"From the very start, you know what's happening to my life." Gio accusingly interjected, marching towards the end of the table nearest to him and throwing sharp glances at the man seated at the far opposite. "I'm even guessing it's you who started this. Was it because you're thinking her life is way dangerous for someone like me, or us?"

"You're previously from the military so you must have thought that everything you witnessed from there is already the worst humans can become."

Gio shook his head, increasingly growing disappointed at the only other person he thought would always be at his side. However, he was not an idiot to not get where his uncle was coming from.

He was a normal person while Sofony was someone who could potentially evolve into a country destroyer.

If something goes haywire between them, it would definitely be him getting the short end of the stick. Yet actually, that would be already describing the situation euphemistically, considering that he could possibly die.

This must be what was in his uncle's mind when he schemed everything behind Gio's back, contemplating that no matter what kind of demon he had become today, it was still nothing but fakery before a true messenger of chaos and immorality, a forged art being compared to real masterpieces.

In Gio's honest opinion though, all this misunderstanding just boiled down to a single thing - Conrad lacked knowledge about what he truly had! Which made sense since he had yet to tell about him to anybody, not even Sofony.

"I don't want anymore bulls.h.i.+tting with you, my dearest uncle."

Gio stared at the bookshelf to his uncle's left piercingly and said, "Fred Mendez, come out. I want to show you something that will change that insane mind of yours."

Conrad couldn't help but laugh, "What are you saying? He's not here."

One moment later, the magnanimous looking middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Wait, Gio. It seems you haven't explained to me how you know my relations.h.i.+p with him."

"I'll do so once he comes out." his impatient reply.

"Sir, I'm waiting."

Seconds pa.s.sed that nothing made sounds in the room.

However, when something did, Gio just felt a presence appearing in front of him, materializing as that freak of a doctor, grinning at him ominously and contemptuously. Warning bells just suddenly rang within his mind, his nerves tensing greatly at the danger screaming at him. He realized it was due to the smile plastered above the man's beard. When Gio realized the reason for that smirk, it was already too late.

"You are indeed very perceptive for a non-host. Quite commendable."

"But so what?" A taunting voice resounded inside the room. At the back, Conrad Albarez touched his aching forehead, glaring at the lunatic who came out easily but in a crazy way.

At the doorway, a huge blue ice bloke encasing Gio appeared, emitting faint smoke or fog which showed just much low the temperature around it was.

Things happened way too fast. The man called out, even in the midst of materializing after his short teleportation, had actually activated his signature ability. It didn't matter whether Gio was caught unprepared or not. By the time the ice turned visible to the naked eyes, it was already firmly wrapped around the targeted man, showcasing the surprised expression adorning Gio's face frozen in there when he somehow sensed the impending danger.

Fred casually strode over, tapping over the glittering icy surface. He laughed, "Gotcha! Bad lad! See! This is how you become dead to me!"

Conrad shook his head and bitterly thought, 'In the end, no monstrous human could go against real monsters, like how no ants could go against the huge waves of the sea. I'm sorry, my nephew. But you'd probably have to spend your next three to five years inside that mini-iceberg, frozen and barely awake.'

Gio's uncle then heard Fred say after a click of his tongue, "How stupid. He knows there's a chance you can contact me. But how come he didn't think that I can just directly be with you and then ambush him when he's unguarded? What? Thinking I'd be lenient just because my daughter fancies him. Stupid!"

"Hmm. But wait. Why didn't I just do this earlier? Why did I think of reducing everything he has into nothingness first before beating him half-dead senselessly. d.a.m.n, I suffered a headache for no reason! Should have just trapped him in this ice forever from the get-go!"

Not liking what the crazy bearded man in white lab coat said, Conrad glared at him.

He was about to remind Fred of the deal when something unbelievable took place before them.

A sudden and loud cracking noise prompted the two older men to the direction of the doorway, just in time to see the huge ice bloke suddenly being pulverized into something similar to ice particles shaved for a summer dessert, glowing beautifully, piling almost knee-high by Gio's feet. The young man encased inside it less than a minute ago reappeared, unharmed, not even his clothes seemingly wet or wrinkled.

An indifferent and emotionless voice then rang, making Fred's expression as grim as a person forced to swallow a mouthful of flies.

"I'm sorry for the sudden interruption. But it's not my intention since I never even plan this. With due respect to this nasty sneak attack of yours, Sir," The voice paused midway dramatically, its owner's eyes coldly resting on Fred's darkening face,

"This is what I want to show you."
