QT: Against My Will

Chapter 435



435 7.59 – A Humbling Experience – War Of The Wickeds

Ru Quan was terrified of the idea where his soul would break and he would forget everything about his wife again. From how the rest was acting, it was highly possible (It happened during the date with the food lady. He was in lots of pain and lost some memory of Bing Shi as a result). He ended up dead inside to a point where he had to borrow other people’s emotions to feel something.

Ru Quan used to feed off the rage, the passion to live, the desire to be at the top, which Earl Fester felt right now. It was another source of fuel among many others. It gave him a reason not to kill off all the assholes in the world in one go.

He began to pray for a particular god he never knew existed, more genuinely than others – tolerance was something he really needed to not kill himself from the amount of stupidity he saw daily. Due to his omnipresence, he came to dislike humans and would rather not engage in any conversation with any of them, especially those that came here just to annoy the heck out of him.

Riley’s eyes looked coldly with no sign of cowardice or fear at the shrinking bulge between Earl Fester’s legs. His potent sedatives to immobilise Earl Fester should have kicked in. Now, he only needed access to the vault; knowing there was a stack of documents that contained Earl’s dirty transactions, “You can rest assured that I will make sure you will receive special treatment from all of your new tenants...in prison.”

Ru Quan sat in silence without feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious, faking a god-tier level of importance. He cared about the world as a whole, so he patiently listened to the boy’s one-sided conversation as he kept his opinions to himself.

Usually, such bastards would start to act either almighty before Riley or cowardly, embarrassing. From the way this sloppy old man looked, he first made a bet that Earl Fester would fall under the second category, but he had yet to get a reaction from the Earl.

Riley tilted his head to get a glance of Ru Quan’s expression. The man fell asleep in the middle of the conversation, which he didn’t notice until now, “How boring,” he sighed in disappointment. He expected Earl Fester to be stronger because the old man was able to kill Damon in the past, but who knew that man would succumb to his drugs so fast? Getting off the table, he put on a pair of gloves and stripped the man to take a few pictures in embarrassing positions. Tomorrow headlines would be filled with Earl Fester in all his glory.

Ru Quan refused to become a walking entertainment to kill someone’s boredom for free even though he allowed himself to be treated like dirt. Getting to see and feel things deeply as his wife did-by getting to know all the owners of the bodies he occupied-was a very humbling experience.

|Sweetie.|

.....

|”Yes?”|

|Have you ever found me boring?|

|”Yes, many times. I had a hard time entertaining myself when you were in a coma, but let’s be honest here, I would rather watch you sleep all day than change your diapers for the sake of obtaining a heart-throbbing surprise. What about me? Do you find me boring?|

“...” Little things like these made him think that the wait was worth it.

|If I ever found you boring it would mean I failed to bring out your ‘interesting’ side. I can only blame my incompetence, not the other way around.|

|”Ru Quan, was that you? That was quite ...um... a serious answer. Did someone hurt your feelings?”|

The naked Earl Fester was sprawled on the floor with a dog collar around his neck, Riley used his shoes to put pressure in between the man’s legs, taking a very humiliating photo of someone most deemed as the most feared Alpha.

|Not hurt, just a bit cold.|

Giggling, Bing Shi rubbed herself against Ezikiel to warm him up, knowing well how thin bodies had tendencies to get cold very easily. He should have killed himself a long time ago for his own sake. Never ever should he have waited so long for her. The thought of what he had to go through sent shudders down her spine.

Smiling, Ru Quan admitted that he was a boring man, but there was this fun fact about him: born as a slave, he almost never found himself in a humiliating situation despite many people trying to embarass him – or at least he would carry enough grace in the moment. It was one of the few things he had in common with his wife, and he was quite proud of it.

|”Speaking about boredom, Victor once told me that I was the most boring person he had ever met and it caught me off guard a bit. Nobody had ever told that to me and it had me thinking. Paradoxically, anything THE MOST would be automatically looked upon as more interesting, right? Which would make the SECOND most boring person effectively MORE boring than the supposed most boring one. “|

|He made you think quite a lot.|

|”Yes, playing someone else’s fiance was suffocating. He made me want to scream to the world that my heart was already taken, which I did the moment an opportunity came.”|

When Damon entered Earl Fester’s office, Ru Quan could no longer relax through the other bodies as Earl Fester suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the thing in Damon’s arms – a tube the size of a melon filled up with a thick red liquid. It contained a small fetus as cute as a bug, “G...give.”

Damon’s line of sight immediately fell to the corner of Riley’s lips. The sunset behind the windows created a faint blush on the boy’s pale face. There was a shallow cut. Not once did he pull his gaze away from Riley, so he knew for sure this scratch did not exist a second ago.
