Chapter 135: Chapter 135

Lai knew that Esie Burles was a vindictive person.

Even though it had been many years since the events, Esie Burles would not forget how Lai had escaped from him.

Yet, Lai hadn’t expected to see Esie Burles, the madman, so soon.

And it was right outside their home, the day after Blanwen reminded him.

Yu Man was preparing to take Manman to her friend Lu Cheng’s house for a few days, and Lai went out with them.

"White, long time no see?"

Lai heard the playful voice, and his gaze darkened.

This name, no, it could barely be called a name, only one person would use it.

And that person was... Esie Burles.

He followed the direction of the voice and saw a slightly familiar face.

Even after so many years, despite the changes to Esie Burles’s face, Lai recognized him immediately.

The arrogant and conceited Esie Burles.

He loathed him to his very bones, even if he turned to ashes, he could recognize him.

Esie Burles was sitting outside their residential area, wearing sunglasses, comfortably lying on a chair as if on a seaside vacation.

Next to him stood two Beastmen, ready to serve him at any moment.

And opposite Esie Burles, a female Beastman sat quietly, her expression seemingly numb.

Lai stood there, not too far nor too close, staring at him.

Esie Burles removed his glasses, chuckling, "The first thing I did upon arriving here was to find you, my old friend. How does that feel? Are you touched?"

"I’ve heard you have a wife now, this beautiful lady, right?" Esie Burles shifted his gaze to Yu Man.

"Hello, I’m Esie Burles." He smiled warmly, appearing harmless.

Yu Man’s face showed no expression.

The name Esie Burles, she had heard from Lai, and naturally knew what kind of person he was.

"Lady Yu Man’s expression suggests she knows me?"

"White, it seems you haven’t forgotten your old friend?" Esie Burles smiled contentedly.

Lai’s eyes turned cold, "Wife, don’t pay him any mind, let’s go."

Just then, Lu Cheng, knowing Yu Man was coming to see her, had hurriedly come over to pick them up in the morning.

"Man!" Lu Cheng got out of the car, waving to Yu Man, "Hurry over!"

Yu Manman ran over to Lu Cheng, "Mom!"

"Hey! Our darling Manman!" Lu Cheng picked Manman up, kissed both her cheeks!

"Wife, you go ahead." Lai stood by Yu Man’s side, escorting her to Lu Cheng.

The sound of porcelain shattering rang out.

"White! After all these years, aren’t you going to greet me?" Esie Burles’s gaze turned sinister, the smile from before long gone.

The female sitting opposite Esie Burles simply blinked, showing no reaction, as if accustomed to it.

Yu Manman was startled.

She didn’t know Esie Burles, but she knew this uncle was definitely not a good person!

"I am Lai, not White, or anything else. This gentleman has mistaken me." Lai’s voice was chilly, devoid of any emotion.

"Heh, indeed you have the guts to escape from me, no sense of obedience to your master." Esie Burles sneered at him, "White, all these years, I’ve always remembered you, how could you forget me, your master?"

"Sir, it’s a new era now, no more of that master-slave nonsense, everyone is their own master." Lai fearlessly met his gaze, "This gentleman’s thinking is quite off."

"If word gets out, it won’t be good for your reputation, sir." Lai chuckled lightly, "Especially in our Flower Country, nothing is less tolerated than master-slave ideas."

Esie Burles watched Lai with interest, "Do you think I’m afraid?"

He knew all too well that Esie Burles was not afraid.

This madman, his world was only about seeking thrill, fear was not a part of it.

"Wife, let’s go." Lai didn’t want to waste his breath, guiding Yu Man and Manman into the car, "Be careful, and call me when you arrive."

"Alright, I will." Yu Man nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes, "You too."

"I’ll call you once I arrive." Lai smiled.

Lai, as if he hadn’t heard, got into the car and drove off directly.

Seeing Lai ignore him once again, rage flickered in Esie Burles’s eyes.

What he hated the most was being ignored.

Lai, having spent years by his side, certainly knew how to anger him...

He looked at the car that had already driven away and sneered.

"Interesting, truly interesting!" Esie Burles laughed, "I knew it, White suited my tastes the best..."

For years, his toys had come and gone, none pleased him like White!

White’s eyes seemed to submit to him, yet he could see deeply hidden rebellion. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fıre·net

White wasn’t like other toys, whose eyes were dull, lifeless, igniting no interest in him! Without that bit of rebellion, he would’ve long since tired of him.

White wanted to escape, he knew, even saw it as a game.

And yet he hadn’t expected to play too far one day.

White was even smarter than he imagined, provoking those in the Burles family to deal with him during chaos to escape.

Esie Burles chuckled quietly, wiping a scar on his chest.

The anger to retrieve White had led him to send some people away, nearly causing his own death.

That night, was truly... thrilling!

How could he not think about White endlessly? Who else would play such thrilling games with him?

"White, you lost little fish, you’ll return to my side eventually." Esie Burles curled his lips, smiling effortlessly.

Freya Beili, sitting beside him, broke into a cold sweat.

Madman, truly a madman!

No, there wasn’t a single normal person in their family!

Brothers with the same mother but different fathers, killing each other like a breeding ground...

She was married into the Burles family, and her husband was precisely the Burles family among the seven or eight kin.

She deeply loathed their Burles family rules, yet had no ability to resist.

Someday, perhaps she’d follow the path of previous Burles wives, unable to endure, choosing to end herself.

She looked up at Esie Burles, coldly reminded, "Don’t forget father’s instructions..."
