As if knowing what's on Lucas' mind, Samuel flicked Lucas on the forehead and said, "No matter what I
become, I am still your father."
Lucas rubbed where he was flicked and said dejectedly, "Why can't you give up the habit of flicking?"
Samuel smiled slightly, exuding a warm aura.
"How is Mommy doing?"
Lucas asked worriedly.
Samuel glanced at him and whispered, "She is my wife. I'd never hurt her."
However, he couldn't help recalling that he had almost throttled Nicole to death when she had entered
the room.
He looked around to evade Lucas' gaze, feeling somewhat guilty.
Lucas did not notice Samuel's strange behavior and muttered, "Don't be so sure. Who knows what you
will do to Mommy?"
"Shut up!"
Samuel frowned, bringing pressure that could not be challenged. Lucas was stunned.
"Samuel, I don't like the way you are now."
Lucas spoke bluntly, not afraid of offending Samuel at all.
Samuel was surprised.
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't like the way you are now. You make me feel that you are not the person I knew. You are lofty,
evil and indescribably strange. You are so different now. I don't like the new you."
Lucas spoke with dignity, showing no sign of being afraid.
Samuel was dazed by this.
Lucas disliked him?
What was he like in the past?
He was tolerant, indifferent, mild on the outside and wild on the inside, and scheming.
These words were synonymous with him.
But was he different now?
He just became less tolerant.
Some hostility filled his heart, which was hard to get rid of. Everyone and everything around irritated
him. He wanted to explode, to fight and to kill!
The last thought stroke Samuel, stunning him.
Why would he feel this way?
Could it be...?
Samuel's eyes darkened.
"I'm going to the study. Take care of Zoe and don't disturb your mom. If she asks, tell her that I'm
working in the study. Understand?"
Samuel then rose to go, but felt that someone tugged his sleeve.
He paused. Turning around, he saw that it was Lucas. "Samuel, no matter what, you are still my daddy,
right?" Lucas asked.
Samuel's heart trembled. Inexplicable pain and sadness shot through his heart, leaving him
uncomfortable.
"Of course."
He smiled. The familiar expression somehow eased Lucas' mind.
"OK. Go to work."
Then Lucas loosened his grip.
Although Samuel's temper changed slightly, Lucas realized that he was still him — the Samuel he liked
the most.
After turning around, Samuel's expression darkened slightly.
It was Morgan's doing!
He quickly went upstairs into the study.
Morgan was surprised to receive a call from Samuel. Still, she answered the call right away.
"Mr. Green!"
"How did you detoxify me? Why did my temperament change? I feel that I have a surge of hostility in
me, and I have no control over it. Morgan, are you tired of living? How dare you try anything funny on
me?"
Samuel elongated his words. Morgan was inexplicably scared, feeling that she was at the mercy of the
Death.
"Mr. Green, I dare not do anything to you. It's just that, to free you from the Memory Bug, I had to put
the Golden Bug in your body. It is the king of all the bugs of our town. Everyone who has a bug in his or
her body will be controlled by you, and must follow your orders. This is a privilege of the master of our
town. And the Golden Bug could cure rare poisons. This bug is somewhat strong and may not
completely fit into your body yet. This may be the reason why you suffered from some changes. Also,
the bug was buried in the ancestral hall of the Harper Town. Perhaps it was influenced by the
resentment of the ancestors, making you feel a little hostile. "
After finishing her trembling speech, Morgan heard Samuel snort coldly. "Don't try to incite me with
these words. Let me tell you, the condition and future of the Harper Town have nothing to do with me. I
don't care. As for the bugs in your bodies, I'm not interested, and I have no intention of using them.
You'd better think of a way to get this bullshit Golden Bug out of me, or I don't mind making you out as
an object lesson."
With that, Samuel hung up.
He didn't care about the resentment of the ancestors or controlling others.
To put it bluntly, they were just trying to use him for the vengeance for the Harper Town.
Morgan refused to tell him why the Harper Town people provoked those people. Still, she wanted him
to deal with the three great families and the forces behind alone.
Did he look like a fool?
Samuel snorted coldly. He felt that the hostility in his heart was becoming more and more
uncontrollable, and the urge to fight intensified.
He called Blair.
"When someone is hostile and restless, is there any medicine that can help?"
Blair paused before asking, "Who are you talking about?"
"Myself. I was set up."
Samuel told Blair everything.
Hearing the whole thing, Blair was depressed.
"Your family has a lot of wretched business."
"Cut the crap. Is there any medicine that can help suppress it?"
Samuel's irritable aura resurfaced.
Blair dared not annoy him again. He whispered, "Every medicine has its side effect. It's bad for your
health to take too many pills. See if your family has warm jade. You can take one with you. It might
help. It's said jade can help suppress hostility and restlessness. Still, you'd better come over and I'll
check you out."
"I don't have time. I'm going on a trip with my family. It's been set. The children are looking forward to it.
They'll be disappointed if we reschedule."
Samuel hung up after finishing the words.
Warm jade?
Jade?
He vaguely remembered that there was jade in the warehouse.
Thinking of this, Samuel decided to go to the warehouse of the Green's.
Feeling a little worried, Lucas asked to go with Samuel. Samuel did not reject him. He carried Zoe into
the room, putting her beside Nicole, and then left for the Green's with Lucas.
When the door into the warehouse was opened, Lucas was dumbfound by all the valuables.
"Samuel, is this really our warehouse? We have so many good things! How much are these worth?"
Seeing Lucas' surprised expression, Samuel said softly, "Brat, don't be so surprised. We have plenty of
money. This is no big deal. If you like, when you start to date someone, I'll give you a diamond mine.
You can give the girl gifts as you please. OK?"
Lucas' lips twitched and he said disdainfully, "Samuel, you're so cocky. The old you are cuter."
Just as he finished speaking, Samuel flicked on his forehead again.
"Holy shit! Samuel, if you do this again, I swear I will fight back."
"Don't say it like you can beat me."
Ignoring Lucas, Samuel walked into the warehouse and casually picked out a few emeralds which were
all of excellent quality.
"Pick one and bring it with you. I hear that jade helps one keep safe."
The words rendered Lucas speechless.
Samuel became superstitious.
Still, he picked a pair of jade pendants in the shape of dragon and phoenix. "Zoe and I can have these
two. And Joseph can have this dragon jade pendant."
Lucas took the three, leaving behind a pair of blood jade in the shape of dragon and phoenix. They are
bright red, looking extremely alluring.
Samuel liked it at once.
He stuffed one jade into his pocket. On second thought, he threaded it to make a necklace and put it
on.
A chill came from the jade, penetrating his skin into his chest. The chill faintly and slowly suppressed
the violence in him.
Samuel pocketed the other jade, planning to give it to Nicole.
"Let's go."
After locking the warehouse, Samuel and Lucas returned to the Shaw's.
Nicole had gotten up. Steve told her that Samuel took Lucas out and would be back soon, so she was
not worried. She drank tea with Edwin in the living room.
The two of them were talking. Edwin laughed very happily, and Nicole also had a smile on her face.
The smile was gentle and quiet, making one feel peaceful.
Seeing this, Samuel's eyes flashed. Then he smiled and walked over.
"What are you talking about? You two look so happy."
Noticing Samuel's return, Nicole hurriedly took his coat and put it on the clothes rack beside. Then she
smiled and said, "Just something interesting. Where did you take Lucas to on such a cold day?"
"I found a few good things for you."
As he spoke, Samuel took out the blood jade.
Nicole was impressed.
"Blood jade! There aren't many blood jades in the world, and those of such good quality are even rarer.
This one is worth at least millions, right?"
"Who cares how much it's worth? It's just a stone. If you like it, I can collect some more to make a set of
jewelry for you."
Samuel helped Nicole put the blood jade necklace on.
Either because of the jade or because of Nicole's brilliant smile, Samuel felt that the manic energy in
him was almost gone.
A slight chill came from the jade, making Nicole feel happy.
Seeing Samuel and Nicole being so loving, Edwin couldn't help but smile and say, "Samuel, you will
spoil her. Aren't you afraid that she'll be out of your control?"
"I know how I should treat my wife, so mind your own business."
Samuel's gaze was cold, and his words were sharp, which stunned Nicole, Lucas, and Edwin.
"Samuel, what's wrong with you?"
Nicole pulled him, trying to ease Samuel. Unexpectedly, Samuel's attitude got colder.
"There is something I want to ask. Why was the Harper Town destroyed back then?"
