71 His punishment- Maverick’s desire
Xu Ming threatened and was about to leave the gathering when Maverick’s cold voice rang in the quiet
sitting room.
“So it’s you,” Maverick stared at the man who was fuming with rage before he lowered his eyes to the
gun he was playing with. “Your Xu family owes me so much debt that ten generations of your family
cannot pay. Did no one tell you that?”
The faces of the Patriarch and every Xu present turned white.
Yes, they did Maverick bad in the past, but over the years he didn’t retaliate and they all thought he had
let things slide because of his mother, but who would have thought he didn’t forgive them?
“Lu, boy, what do you mean?” Patriarch Xu asked.
“I have no history of repeating myself, Patriarch, you haven’t forgotten that too, right?” Maverick replied
with a question before he folded his right leg on his left leg and spread his arms on the headrest of the
couch.
His posture made him look like a pompous nouveau riche. However, the difference was that Maverick’s
coldness Wouldn’t allow anyone to think of anything else but a bully.
That’s right, he was here to bully the Xu family.
“What do you want for compensation?” The oldest son of Patriarch Xu, Xu Liam asked. He was getting
irritated by Maverick’s behavior but because their family was at fault, he couldn’t let out his anger.
Maverick looked at Xu Liam who had the same features as Xu Ming before he smiled. The smile made
his already villainous look even more wicked.
“Give him ATOM or I take him away,” Maverick replied.
At his words, the Patriarch closed his eyes and the other members of the family had their eyes
enlarged like they wanted to see the future.
The shock the family got made them look stupid.
“I told you, he has gone insane!” Xu Ming yelled as he pointed at Maverick while he addressed his
family.
After a while, Xu Liam asked, “and if we don’t?”
“The Xu family will cease to exist… today.”
Xu Liam stayed silent for a while before he said: “You know what will happen to you if you wipe us out,”
“Leave me to worry about that,” Maverick responded.
All these while, they have been talking like they were discussing the weather. No shouting, no abuse,
no anger on their faces, just Maverick’s coldness being displayed with every deadly word he uttered.
“Davis won’t let you off,” Xu Liam reminded.
If they hand over Xu Ming or inject him with the virus, his son, Davis won’t stay quiet.

Hearing that name, Maverick replied slowly, “Davis… will join him.”
If Davis stupidly comes to seek revenge, he’ll kill him. It’s as simple as that.
“Those people are protective of Davis. They will destroy you and the Lu family if you dare touch my
son!” Xu Ming hollowed. He was already very mad at everyone in the room.
“Not when your son wasn’t killed by me.”
Hearing that, the people all whipped their heads to stare at Maverick.
“Wh- what do you mean?” The Patriarch asked in alarm.
“ATOM,” Maverick stated. He paused to take in how their faces drained of color before he added, “The
Xu family owns ATOM. What happens if Davis was killed by ATOM because he was told by a scientist
that his body is a treasure trove to make the antidote?” Maverick threatened nonchalantly.
The Patriarch almost fell from his seat. Yes, ATOM has no antidote. The scientists made a mistake with
the experiment and the outcome became ATOM. Instead of throwing it out, the Patriarch became
greedy and kept it.
Thanks to ATOM, the Xu family got themselves into the top three families to be feared in Country M,
but they made the mistake of toying with Maverick.
After the incident, they thought that Maverick had let things go and was searching for a remedy, but
unfortunately, it seems that Maverick was waiting for them to fall into a ditch.
Davis is the only person in the Xu household that could lead the family to the pinnacle. If he is allowed
to be messed with, then the Xu family won’t last long.
And again, If Maverick kills Davis and tells ‘those people’ what he just threatened them with, ‘those
people’ would be happy that an antidote is finally out and wouldn’t think twice before turning a blind
eye.
Everyone turned to look from the shocked Xu Ming to the sad Patriarch before some shifted their gaze
to Maverick.
“Father?” Xu Liam called. He was handing the judgment to their father to make. Their family cannot
lose Davis because of one idiot and secondly, they cannot allow their family to be made a laughing
stock.
The old man balled his right hand which was placed on the arm of the chair and used everything in him
to calm himself down before he passed his judgment: “Liam, do what he wants.”
“Father!” Xu Ming cried out in disbelief.
He hasn’t even heard what would be done to him and he was already about to eat his father alive.
Though whatever outcome it is won’t favor him anyway.
“Yes, father,” Liam and the old man knew that what Alpha Chaos honestly wanted was for them to have
a carrier of the ATOM virus in their family just to trap the Xu family too.
He was right. With Davis’ father being the carrier, Davis would take the antidote research seriously and
Maverick would be able to solve one of his problems.
“Hold him down,” Liam commanded no one in particular but a few members of the family approached
71 Mis Punishment- Mavericks desire
Xu Ming after a few seconds of deliberation
“Wh- what are you all doing?! Father! Are you letting this happen to me?! I’m your son!”
No matter what Xu Ming said while being held tightly to the chair by four able-bodied men, no one felt
his ‘pain’
The family hates him, but because his son was the head now, they had to give him a facade of respect.
Xu Liam pulled out a syringe with red liquid from a briefcase that had been on the table beside the
Patriarch and injected Xu Ming with it without batting an eyelid.
Everyone watched as Xu Ming jerked and convulsed, cried and hollered. He fell to the floor and rolled
around in agony for about five minutes before he fainted.
The man had peed himself and was heavily sweating.
The whole family stared at Maverick. Some with unconcealed hatred, some with nonchalant eyes, and
others with pain and tears in their eyes.
Maverick stood you from the couch and turned to walk away but stopped and turned around, “I did
nothing to your son, I hope you know that?” He curled his lips and resumed walking. 1
The same young boy who had screamed Maverick’s name earlier at the window couldn’t contain his
raging heart anymore and pulled out a gun.
Before anyone could stop him, he screamed Maverick’s name, and everything that happened after that
was a scene that shook them to the core.
