Chapter 210: James Ford a Loving Father? (2)
Thankfully, after a half-year in which the girl had tried to attempt suicide many times but was stopped by her brother, who had always been keeping an eye on her, he was now much calmer but still stressed. After being provided a new home in another city and given enough money to live for generations, he didn't want them to die knowing their attempts were futile.
And knowing they would have been dead if the father of that scum was not a good man terrified them a little, as even going to the police headquarters of their city had been futile. So, his only wish was to see his sister happy now.
She is now much calmer however her previous cheerful behavior is now complete which always reminds his brother of his powerlessness.
However, one thing was sure: their hatred toward Mark would never be gone. The brother had even sworn that if he got the chance, he wouldn't miss it and would make sure to take the life of that scum. It was inside his mind, and he couldn't even talk about this to his sister, who was slowly recovering, knowing they were always under the watch of those damn bodyguards.
James after getting reports about how both siblings had started their day-to-day life once again felt content so he decided to leave them alone with the money he had given them.
James hadn't told his son about this and acted as if he had killed both of them, as he didn't want his son to have the blood of innocents. He didn't know how his son would react to it, so he decided to keep it to himself. However, at this time, he was pissed at his son, who took life so lightly.
He wouldn't deny he had taken many lives, but that was only to achieve where he is today. He knew sometimes he had to get his hands dirty.
However, he had never taken an innocent life. The people he had dealt with could even be considered criminals if their deeds were known.
The sadness, disappointment, and anger he felt were even greater than the day when his wife had divorced him for money. However, in the end, his love for his own blood won over, and he forgave him with only a serious warning that if he did something like this again, he would be kicked out of the mansion.
And luckily, he had never done things like that again. While he had been still twisted like before, thankfully, James didn't have to worry about his son killing someone else using the power he had given him. He even wished for the day when his eldest would enjoy taking an interest in his company rather than only playing around.
He hoped for that day to come. He hoped that the daughter of his friend would change him for good, whom his son was obsessed with.
And currently, James Ford was inside his mansion in a safe bunker with some other guards around him, making plans to rescue his sons from the school. As both of his sons were in the school, he didn't know how they were, and his heart was eating him up. The GPS location of their devices was at their school, and hopefully, they would be safe.
He had gone out today with his guards to test the waters, and thankfully, the situation was not too bad-looking for him, as killing the monsters using his modern weapons was not that hard.
However, the biggest issue he had faced up till now was manpower, as most of the people inside his mansion had either turned into strange monsters or died.
And now, there were only 14 beside him. Today, they had killed almost all the zombies, aka the people who were working with him from inside the mansion. While clearing them, he had seen the bodies of many of his people who had been working for him, like cooks, cleaners, gardeners, etc. Seeing their bodies, he felt a little sad, but in the end, he got over it quickly, knowing no one had expected something like this to happen.
Being at the top of the weapon industry, he had many weapons even in his mansion, and he didn't think it would be too hard for him to reach his son's location. However, he had noticed that after sunset, the monsters were stronger than before, which was why he was waiting for tomorrow to reach his sons. Unluckily, he didn't have any military helicopters here, as he had many inside warehouses in different locations, but even the closest one was more than 50 km away, so acquiring them wouldn't be easy.
He had two normal ones, which he was going to use tomorrow to meet his children, and with his weapons, he didn't think he would have any problems, as bullets were enough to take care of the zombies.
He even regretted not going outside on the first day due to fear. He wouldn't lie; even while being a powerful man himself, seeing terrifying monsters for the first time had scared him a little. He had only kept watch on the outside from the bunker on the first day.
'I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to my sons because of my cautiousness.'
While praying for his sons' safety inside his mind from time to time, James was now currently looking at the green screen in front of him, which showed his talent. He had a feeling he could do some magical things, but he had never tried out of caution. However, after one of his bodyguards had tried and showed some magical abilities, he was excited to try it out.

He had waited for a whole day, and after seeing that his bodyguards were still fine and doing well, he was going to try it out himself.
Seeing his Metal Affinity, he was excited to try it out. He had asked all the guards beside him about all the information shown inside their screens, and the best one out of all of them only had B+ talent, which was also from the bodyguard who had shown him his magical fire, which looked quite deadly to him.
He didn't know if his S grade was better or not, but he had a feeling that it would be powerful.
