474 I'll Kill Him!
"Can you tell me the real reason why you shared the information about Celine with me?" Derek sensed it deep within, yet he yearned for Alicia to articulate it herself.
"Of course, I wanted you to shift the target from me to her. Additionally, I hoped you'd remove her from Jack's life, allowing me the opportunity to be with him," Alicia responded candidly, concealing nothing.
Now that everything had been laid bare, there was no need for her to feign goodness. Their relationship had never been strong from the outset; they were merely acquaintances despite having known each other for some time.
Derek's smoldering anger intensified. He gazed at Alicia in silence. Though he desired to unleash his anger, he understood that directing it at her was unjust.
"Very well. Regardless, it doesn't matter. I'm going to confront Jack, and I'll ensure he meets his end. Once he's gone, we'll see whom you truly love. Furthermore, I intend to inform my father of this situation. Whether or not you agree to our marriage is inconsequential now, as I'll marry you regardless," Derek declared fiercely.
Previously, he had desired a harmonious relationship with Alicia and didn't want to force her into marriage. Hence, he had attempted to persuade her to consent.
In any case, he believed that once he spoke to his father, the matter would be settled. If his father consented, arranging their marriage would be straightforward.
Derek was well aware of Alicia's parents' inclinations. They prioritized the family's interests over personal ones. Despite their affection for Alicia, they were likely to consent to her marriage to him.
After all, he was a guarantee that her life was going to be good in the future considering that not only was he strong, but even his background was a strong enough to match hers.
"You're going to kill Jack? If you really believe that you have the capabilities, then go ahead and try. But once you die, everything will be good for me." Alicia stated, clearly not intimidated by the threat that Derek had placed on Jack's head.
But still, there was something that she did not like about what Derek had said. This guy claimed that he was actually going to talk to his father so that the two of them could get married?
Of course, Alicia knew that this was a possibility. If it was Derek's father that decided to make a move, then, her mother was definitely going to agree to that.
As for David, although she did not care about him, but at least, she thought that he was way better than Derek. At least, he was not going around messing around with other people, he was more reserved.
It was just that she never had a good feeling towards David, and he did not have any other more solid reason to why she never liked him. Still, since she did not like him, that was going to be it. She did not have to give anyone an explanation on why she did not like him.
"You want to try? Go ahead! You think that I care? To me, I better die than get married to a douchebag like you!" After saying that, Alicia turned around and left. She was no longer in the mood to continue bickering around with Derek.
As he watched her leaving, Derek smiled. The smile that was on his face was not that of a happy person, but rather, an evil smile.
"You hate me, huh? That's okay too. Still, it doesn't matter what you do, but the two of us are going to get married. As for that Jack, he has already crossed my limits. He is not only involved with Celine, the woman that I have already set my eyes on, but, he is also actually involved with Alicia, my very first target.
For this reason, I have more than enough reason to kill you. So, I hope that you don't blame me for this. Blame yourself for not having a good background enough to protect you. And more than that, getting involved with the two ladies that I want." Derek muttered obsessively.
It was obvious that he had already lost his mind at this point. He no longer cared about the consequences, but to him, as long as he took care of Jack, everything would be okay.
By eliminating Jack, he would be able to remove a man inside Celine's life. Other than that, he would also be capable of making Alicia lack a target that she was directing her love to.
From the fact that she had actually sent him to get Celine out of Jack's life, it was obvious that the two of them did not share that kind of relationship, at least as of yet.
For that reason, it seemed that Alicia did not have that much of affection towards Jack. It should be able to be easily taken care of after some time when Jack was already dead. As for Celine, that was a different matter. But still, he was the two of them to be capable of taking care of it later on.
As for the matter of Celine being a superhuman, that was not something that he cared about. After all, currently, he actually possessed a guardian that was at the third stage of the superhuman level.
Even if Celine was strong, she was definitely not going to be capable of protecting Jack from being killed by the old man. So, with a vicious gaze, he looked at the old man who was sighing endlessly and stated, "I want you to get rid of Jack."
The old man looked at Derek with a solemn expression on his face. He had expected that the results were going to be going in this direction. It was just that, this was not actually the results that he was looking forward to.
In reality, he knew that in order to deal with a person like Celine, they had to involve Derek's father. After all, if Celine had a guardian, that person had to be stronger than him. So, there was no way that he was going to be capable of dealing with that guardian.
But, it was a different matter when it came to dealing with Jack. Although he was not sure if that guardian was also protecting Jack, but still, he believed that he could make an attempt.
It was just that, considering that the relationship between Jack and Celine was not simple, and the two of them had also gotten engaged, if Jack died, then, that was going to definitely make Celine angry.
And with her anger, she was definitely going to direct it towards Derek. After all, he was the only person that had appeared with the intention of taking her away from Jack.
Even if Celine related the matter to Alicia, since Alicia herself really liked Jack, there was no way that she was going to get him killed. She was not going to get any benefit if Jack died.
"Young master, we have to consider this situation carefully. I don't think that this is the best…" The old man was just about to explain to Derek about his reasoning when Derek cut him off.
"I already said what I wanted. So, you have to do what I want. I do believe that you are a subordinate of my father, so you are supposed to follow my commands as well. I don't believe that the command that I have given you is something that is going to affect the family greatly.
If it is a matter of Celine's background, they should be the ones that would come to thank me considering that I would have gotten a 'normal' person out of Celine's life.
Celine is not someone that Jack deserves to be together with. I'm sure that even her background will not agree to that. So, since they were living in the normal world, that implies that most probably, Celine's background doesn't know about the matter.
Additionally, even if Celine's background wants to deal with me, it is not as if I am that easy to bully. Moreover, I'm going to make arrangements so that I can get engaged with Alicia. With our two families combined, even if Celine's family is big, it is definitely not going to be capable of dealing with us."
The old man remained silent after hearing what Derek had said. But still, he knew that the matters were not just as simple as Derek had claimed to be.
At this moment, Derek was looking at everything from his own perspective, not from other people's perspective. Why would Alicia's family want to get into an alliance with Derek's family if they had created a powerful enemy?
Additionally, until now, they did not know about Celine's background. If it turned out that it was way big than they could handle, then what were they supposed to do?
It was true that Derek's family was big. But still, that did not imply that it was actually the biggest family present in the stronghold domain. There were several other families and organizations that were of the same level, or even above Derek's family.
If they just so happened to get involved with an enemy that was at a higher level than Derek's family, then, Derek's family was bound to suffer. And of course, he was the one that was going to be blamed. Why did he not prevent Derek from doing something stupid like that?
"I am sorry young master. But still, I'm not going to change my decision this time. We have to consult your father about this matter." The old man replied resolutely.
