Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1479

Young Drake made a bold statement, never knowing the price behind it.

Shawn finally glanced at him, but Marion jumped out, calling him incapable.

That was the first time Marion stabbed him in the back, but he didn't resent Marion.

After all, everyone wanted a chance to climb up.

In the end, Shawn let him stay. For a while, he imagined himself standing behind important figures, wearing a bodyguard uniform. But he had been too naïve.

Shawn didn't want just any bodyguard. He needed enforcers who could clean up loose ends.

He picked kids from the slums one by one. Then he locked them all in a dark, windowless dungeon. The training was brutal. Every inch of his body was covered in wounds.

Marion tossed him the only bottle of medicine.

Robert scoffed, "Leave him be. This isn't the place for him."

But Drake would never go back to the slums. He would rather die.

Of course, he knew why Marion and Robert had been chosen. With their skills, they were bound to be Shawn's most trusted men.

By then, they might give him a helping hand. But he didn't want to pin his hopes on anyone else.

There he took his first life and felt the warm blood splattered across his face. The dying boy stared at him with both fear and resentment.

Drake trembled, his eyes burning, but he couldn't let it show.

He had to be tough and fearless. To stay alive, he had done the worst, filthiest, bloodiest things.

The path he took was filled with thorns and blood. He never dared to look back.

In a daze, he heard the voice of a woman.

She said, "Right and wrong, grudges and debts... They're never that simple. The key is, will you make up for what you've done and try to be a useful person to this world?"
