Chapter 1582 Die In Peace
“Kyle, did you say that Steven’s black box is already here in Imperial Garden?”
“Maybe. Even if it’s not here yet, it is possible for him to just throw the black box in a corner and activate it just with a single press of a button. The Imperial Garden will be flattened in a matter of seconds then.”
Juan could already picture the gruesome scene in his head. They would turn into ash in a matter of seconds too, with just a single push of the button. He could not help but shudder at the thought of such a horrifying scene.
We are so close to death…
“Kyle, if we were to die soon, do you have any last words? Or any last wishes? Anything that you want to accomplish before you kick the bucket?”
Kyle was not too comfortable with his brother’s remarks.
Will we really die at such a young age?
He did have some things that he wanted to accomplish before he died.
Kyle turned around to look at Juan and said solemnly, “If we were to die young, my biggest regret would be that I have yet to amass such a business empire like Daddy. Oh, and that I could not spend the rest of my life with my one true love.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “Daddy has accomplished many great feats in his lifetime, amazing feats that many could only dream of. He’s also found the love of his life and lived happily with Mommy at least. I guess he’s living the dream life.”
Juan was stumped after listening to Kyle. Of the two of them, Kyle was the one truly following in Evan’s footsteps.
“Yes, Daddy is really successful in life. So, if Imperial Garden really turns to ashes, and Daddy were to die together with us, he would barely have any regrets, right?”
Before Kyle could answer him, however, Evan’s deep voice rang behind them.
“Juan, do you think your father will be able to die in peace?”
The two of them were stumped, for they did not expect Evan to hear them.
Silence ensued, and Juan finally turned around as he flashed an awkward smile at Evan.
“Daddy, we just think that you’re much ahead of us in life. I mean, you have everything there is to a fulfilling life—a successful career, a happy family, and outstanding children. Everything is as perfect as it can be. In comparison, we are not married nor have any children, and in fact nowhere near to building a family of our own. As for our careers, we have not accomplished anything significant. It’s really going to be such a waste if we just die like this.”
“Juan, you’d better remember what you said today. I’m really glad to hear that you’re finally contemplating getting married and having kids. If we really get through this hurdle, you have to promise me to go through with it without further delay.”
Juan was stumped. “Daddy, I didn’t mean that. It’s not like we can force these things to happen, right?”
I don’t care what you mean. If you want me to die in peace, I want to see you getting married and have kids of your own.
“Just do as I say,” Evan said adamantly.
Juan looked troubled. “Daddy, I need to find someone I like too.”
Kyle gave him a look of sympathy and said, “Nothing else matters more than our lives. Death is the only thing that we should fear.”
“Kyle, what are you saying? If you were to marry a woman whom you don’t have any feelings for, I’d bet that you will think that death will be more merciful.”
Kyle smiled cheekily and whispered into his brother’s ears, “Well, then it’s a good thing that I already have someone whom I like.”
“Are- are you talking about Sally?’
“Make your guess.”
“All right, stop the bickering, two of you. There’s a car approaching. It should be Steven.”
Juan and Kyle turned around to look outside Imperial Garden. Three luxurious cars were advancing in full speed in their direction.
The headlights on the cars grew nearer and nearer.
