Chapter 140
This Chapter is dedicated to Rosiielove. Hey baby, thanks for the golden ticket. p>
After their little shopping together, Xavier took his daughter out to the amusement park. He has always wished to bring her here since she was a child. Even though she was all grown now, he still brought her.
His child can never be too grown for him. Never.
The trio walked and stopped just before a Cotton candy shop where a man made different shapes of animal. Penny felt like a child again.
She smiled so brightly. It’s the first time Osvaldo has ever seen her this happy before. He seemed even more confident than he knew her to be.
“What shape do you want?” Xavier asked his daughter. Though there were a few guards surrounding them as they walked, Penny was still glad she was here.
This is the best thing anyone has done. Her father was finally fulfilling her childhood dream.
“The unicorn shape.” She said and the man started making it.
“What shape do you want Dad?” Xavier felt like his heart would rip out at the word Dad. Never did he imagine he would have his child close to him like this.
He never thought he could be a father again. This is all he has ever dreamed of. All he ever wanted.
It’s like his dream was finally coming to pass. Finally, he had been given second chance at fatherhood and he’ll never mess it up.
“Say it again Princess.” He said. “Just one more time please p>
“You don’t need to beg me to call you Dad. You’re my father.” Penny said calmly. “Dad, dad, dad, dad p>
“You have no idea how much I’ve wished to do this with you.” She smiled, her eyes moistening, breaking his heart even more.
For the first time, Owlsgrave demon lord, Xavier Bloodsworth felt like crying. His heart has melted a thousand times and more in just one day.
Osvaldo stood by the sidelines, watching the father and daughter dou and he wondered if this was normal. His Penguin was acting all cute and embarrassing and her father was something he couldn’t name.
Though Dewitt loved him and took him to the amusement park all the time, they were never here with this much people. Everytime he wanted to play, his father would hire torns or bodyguards around and would rent the entire place for a day.
It was basically Osvaldo playing with himself and most times the guards.
“Do you want one Mr Osvaldo?” Penny asked but he said nothing. He just watched her quietly.
“Why would a grown ass man want a cotton candy?” Xavier asked glaring at the boy.
“There’s no age for cotton candy father. You can also have it too. Don’t worry, I’ll ask them to make an animal that suits your personalities.” Penny said sweetly then she turned to the cotton candy man.
“Mister, can you make two black dragons?” She asked and the man nodded.
While all three people moved around, certain men in black suit hid in the shadows watching the boy that walked quietly behind Dewitt and his new daughter.
Penny’s return with Osvaldo had raised alarm. It had brought the eyes of the hunters back to him. Though it was stated that he was mad, they still lurked around watching him closely for any form on of normality on him.
“Have you noticed anything with a the boy?” Someone asked on the line.
“I haven’t. He’s just walking with the girl, looking around like a fool.” The man said.
“I think he’s useless boss. He might have been a genius but right now, he’s a fool.” The man said. They had no idea why they were walking next to a madman who mopped around like a fool with no directions.
“We have no idea why he’s suddenly so close to the Bloodsworth family. Xavier will never let us harm the boy if his daughter likes him.” The man said.
“We need to find out about their relationship.” The man on the other end said.
“The Bloodsworth family have no loophole. We cannot get any information from them.” He said.
“And how about the Adkins family. If I’m not mistaken, I heard the Peterson’s are now posing to be the Adkins. Surely, we’ll get something from them.” The man said.
“Let us pray and hope, he isn’t pretending and is really mad. Because if he is, he’s coming for us all p>
Meanwhile, Penny tore a piece of her unicorn-shaped candy and gently brought it to Osvaldo’s lips.
“Come on. Just try it p>
He hesitated turning his head to the side as if she fed him poison. The soft pink fluff looked strange.
“It won’t bite. It taste so good I swear.” Penny said and slowly he opened his mouth. His penguin cannot harm him. She’s the only one that cannot harm him.
It melted in his mouth. The sweet flavor bursting in his mouth, satisfying his taste buds.
He’s never tasted anything this good before.
It tasted nothing like the cold bitterness he was used to.
“You like it don’t you?” Penny beamed. Xavier stared at the boy, and this time with pity. Even if he looked so cold and tough, he looked so innocent while he ate the candy.
It was obvious he’s never had anything like it before.
Osvaldo said nothing, but his eyes followed a man walking past them. Something felt off.
The man wore a baggy coat, a cap pulled too low over his face. But Osvaldo noticed the slight limp, the familiar scar stretched through his left cheek.
That scar p>
The one that always haunts him in his dream. The same scar that shot his mother. He had seen it that day.
The beast in him stirred.
Everything blurred. The noise, the colors, the candy, even Penny’s voice.
All he could see was that man’s face. It made him angry, the anger he’s been hiding deep within for years. The anger he’s managed to conquer.
His vision went red.
The beast roared inside.
Without thinking, he lunged forward, eyes wild, breath shallow, madness awakened.
The man turned too late and Osvaldo pounced on him.
