Chapter 119: Forced to go back to his old ways

Rage sniggered, "That’s not how you should respect your father, kid. Why do you look miserable anyway? Haven’t seen your omega yet? Did that hypocritical family lock him up as well? Why are they making a big deal out of it? Nothing happened to him anyway. It’s not like—

Anger rose in Azrael’s head. He dashed to his father and grabbed his collar, pulling the old man up from his seat. The two guards standing behind his father immediately hook their arms on Azrael.

However, the younger alpha did not let go of his father’s clothes. His grip only tightened even more and with a wrathful voice, Azrael yelled, "Nothing happened?! Are you f*cking kidding me?! You f*cking gave an order to—f*ck! Release me!"

Azrael was pulled away. His arms were twisted by the first guard and the second yanked him from the back. The two were much larger than him, so even if he was fiercely attacking, he was easily overpowered.

Azrael slid down on the floor. Rian quickly ran to him and helped him stand, nervously glancing at the older alpha.

Veins were visible in Rage’s neck as he walked to Azrael and looked down at him, "Haa...son, I didn’t come here to fight."

Rian shuddered at the sinister voice of Azrael’s father. He looked like he was restraining his anger, but every word he spoke displayed malice and threat.

Rage continued, "I actually came here to check if your relationship with that omega is doing well. If it is, then I shall allow you to do whatever you want. If you want to marry him, go ahead. Oh, I certainly think it’d be better if you married him. If his family opposes, then better take him away and impregnate him so he won’t have the chance to escape. You have my blessings."

Azrael gritted his teeth. "I don’t need your blessings, old man. Don’t f*cking lay your hands on him ever again!"

Rage shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and responded, "Listen, you killed my trusted and reliable assistant. Who else would I ask to touch that family’s child? I was lucky to find a hole in their plans, or else I might be hearing my verdict on the stand now. That’s the problem of being too kind and soft-hearted to his dogs. Chairman Horace easily bent after I picked on his soon-to-be son-in-law."

Rage continued, "I came here for another important matter. Since Philip is dead, who else would handle the dealings under the table? Because of his absence, some scoundrels think they’re free to do everything again. Axle and Co. is one of those small flies buzzing up our enemies and colluding with them. Until I find someone to handle the nasty dealings, take care of them for now."

Azrael clenched his jaw.

Axle and Co. is one of the business solutions companies that has been connected to the group since its founding. It could be said that it was a pillar, as one of the former investors to the group, that helped the DV Group’s founding become successful.

Only after Rage saw the success, his greed and selfishness skyrocketed, and he forced those small businesses that became his cornerstone to pull out their investments.

He then invested in those businesses, not to help them grow, but rather to keep a close eye on them since they probably knew the stakes Rage put and did to make the group thrive.

Ever since then, these small businesses never dared to come to light and endured being a footstool all those years.

Axle and Co. is a one-stop shop for legal accounting, financial audit, liquidation, and insolvency. They also give support for any financial disputes and other numerous services, mainly involving the handling of money.

It was a face company Rage used to hide all his illegally accumulated wealth, and also the one responsible for evading huge tax payments.

Rage smiled at his son after that. His eyes glint, aware that his son might not obey his command, so he bent down and looked closer at Azrael, "Don’t worry, son. I won’t harm your omega again. You have my word. But don’t try to walk yourself out of this. If those scumbags grew more powerful and more arrogant, they will only bite you back in the end. Surely, you don’t want your dearest omega to know, right? So, deal with it quickly."

He even ruffled Azrael’s head, but his hand was swatted away almost immediately. Azrael glared at his father with so much hate.

All of a sudden, what he saw in his dream came to mind. The blurry face of the person sitting next to Knox gradually became clearer.

Rage straightened his posture and walked to the door, only to stop after Azrael threw a completely unrelated question to him.

Azrael asked, "Did that person really abandon me? Or did you do something to him?"

Slowly, Rage turned back at Azrael and met his reddened eyes. The older alpha showed confusion, so Azrael knew that Rage was aware of what was he talking about. However, Rage just sighed and looked away.

He continued walking as he replied, "Why are you bringing up someone who’s long gone? Of course, he abandoned you. He’s a sl*t who couldn’t be satisfied with my dick and jumped to one after another. Don’t even think about him."

Rage left after that.

Rian pulled Azrael up, but he was shoved away instead. He could only watch his friend stomp out of the living room and head upstairs. Soon after, he could hear loud punching sounds coming from the mansion’s fitness room.

He walked back to the kitchen and tidied the table, kept the untouched food in the freezer, before deciding to return home.

He was about to open the door when it swung before he could. Then, Diva’s crumpled face appeared.

Rian was greeted by an annoyed voice, "Ugh, my day is ruined. I bumped into that scary uncle on my way. Is Azrael alright?"

Diva heard the heavy sounds and her eyes widened in shock. "Is he getting beaten now?! What are you doing here not helping?!"

Thankfully, Rian was quick enough to cover his ears. He turned away from Diva and spoke, "Calm down. He’s upstairs, probably punching the sandbags to calm himself. Did you come to talk about your actress’ issues?"

Diva replied, flinging her bag on the couch, "Hell, yeah. I’m quite busy, so I’ll go meet him now."

Rian immediately warned, "You’ll get punched."

Diva wriggled her eyebrows at him, "Exactly my plan. So, I could blackmail him for postponing his complaint, at least, until all the contracts signed by the management for that bitch’s endorsements, shows, and her other contracts are done."

Rian gaped at the female alpha. "Dude, your dearest friend almost got raped, and what you think of is your company? Gosh, Diva, are you a friend or what?"

Diva ignored the male alpha’s obvious guilt-tripping. Of course, she was concerned. But even Azrael knew how the news of their top actress molesting someone would ruin her company. She won’t ask him to not file a case.

She only wanted to postpone it, so the company won’t have to compensate the damages and pay penalties for contract breaches, and other legal remedies the contract provider would ask for.

As she climbed up the stairs, she jokingly responded to Rian who remained on the first floor, "We’ve been friends for more than a decade already. It’s time we stop."

The male alpha just chuckled. His attempt to return home was postponed since he wanted to witness a very entertaining spectacle soon.
