Invincible Heir novel Chapter 3

Baron hadn't seen Sherry for five years but she still had the same charm. Her appearance had hardly changed. Even with several years of military service, Baron's silhouette had not changed dramatically, but immense changes had taken place in his temperament. Sherry thought Baron had already been dead. So she was shocked and raged by his presence just now.

"Mom! It's me!" Baron said with a soft smile. He had come back to make it up to Tracy for all the aftermath he caused.

"I can't believe it's actually you, you piece of garbage!" Sherry finally confirmed that the man in front of her was Baron. With her arms crossed in a shrewish look, she angrily said, "You didn't come back early and didn't come back late, but return right exactly when Tracy was about to remarry. You come here to trouble us, don’t you?"

At this time, Terry also ran over and saw Baron as he heard Sherry's words. Without saying a word, Terry threw a punch at Baron, while shouting angrily, "I'll kill you, you bastard! How dare you come back!"

"Pop!"

A sturdy figure arrived just at that moment, waved his hand, grabbed Terry's arm, and coldly said, "No one can touch him!” The man who stopped Terry was Baron’s assistant Charles. Following Baron for many years in the battlefield, Charles was very burly and fierce-looking, which scared Terry out of his wits.

"Get out!" Baron's voice was as cold as ice while his blade-like eyes fell on Charles. Although Charles was very reluctant, he would not disobey Baron's order and could only let go, "I'm sorry, Baron!"

"If you know you're wrong then get the hell out of here, and don't interfere in anything without my order.” Baron said coldly.

At this moment, the aura that Baron subconsciously released was definitely different than that of five years ago. But this feeling passed in a flash and in their eyes he was still a loser.

As Charles turned up, Terry and Sherry didn’t have the nerve to make a move against Baron. “You really think you are something coming back to bully me, an old man? You get the fuck out of here now! Go away!" Terry said angrily. If it hadn’t been that burly Charles, he would have beaten Baron.

Baron was burning with anger, but once he thought of Tracy he had missed for five years, he swallowed the anger, talking to himself that he came back for Tracy and he could endure anything.

"This piece of shit cannot leave yet. In fact he had come back just at the right time. Let him complete the divorce procedures with Tracy and then tomorrow we will go ahead with her engagement with Joker. This way we also do not have to bother with the hassle of dealing with the death certificate.”

Sherry hurriedly pulled Baron's one arm, fearing Baron would leave and never come back again. Terry also saw the light and pulled Baron's the other arm, "Sherry is right. When Tracy comes back, you must divorce.”

Baron was pulled hard into the courtyard as if the couple was enthusiastic for their son-in-law’s return. When he entered the house, he saw a big banquet table placed in the living room, already seated with relatives of Sherry’s family.

Among these relatives, there was also an unfamiliar face, a young man in designer clothes, either intentionally or unintentionally revealing an expensive Rolex around his wrist. He seemed to be surrounded by relatives sitting around him.

At the moment, this young guy was squinting at Baron, who had been 'invited' in by Terry and Sherry. On the dining table, there was a very large cake as if someone was having a birthday party.

As far as Baron remembered, it was not Terry’s, Sherry's or Tracy's birthday. So whose birthday was it?

Just now the relatives were discussing about applying a death certificate for Baron, when he came in, alive! Everyone on site was silent with fear, but soon they had shining eyes like onlookers waiting to what was going to happen.

"Baron? Hasn't he been missing for five years? How come he's suddenly back?"

"He came back the moment Joker is about to marry Tracy. Isn’t he coming back for something?”

“He is nothing but a loser in front of Joker. Do you think he can compete with Joker in any way? Is he up to that challenge?"

The family was all whispering. Though the voices were low, everyone could be hear the gossips, so did the young man Joker.

Joker, however, pretended as if he had not heard anything, looking at Sherry, puzzled, "Mrs. Perry, this is…?" Sherry shot a disgusted look at Baron, "He is the one who disappeared for five years. I was just getting ready for his death certificate, and then suddenly this loser turns up. But you can just take it easy. He came back at the right time. We still need time to have the death certificate, but the divorce procedures can be done today.”

Sherry did not hide the idea of getting Tracy divorced and then fixed up with Joker. She told Baron smugly, "This is Joker, the eldest son of John Warner, the head of the Warner clan in Cona. In a few years, he will inherit John’s position as head of the family. I advise you not to have any improper thoughts about Tracy. We all agreed to their marriage.”

"If you can muster up the self-awareness, when Tracy comes back, go and get the divorce done quickly and don't ruin her happiness.”

The relatives at the table, at this moment, were also talking, in front of this young Warner family member. Everyone wanted to take the opportunity to step all over Baron to please this magnificent young man.

These relatives were really annoying. If it hadn't been for Tracy, Baron could have taught them some manners with just one raised hand.

Joker looked smug and satisfied and leaned back in his seat. He gently shook the goblet filled with red wine, stared at Baron with a smile, and teasingly said, "I wonder what you have done in the five years since you disappeared?" Baron gave him a mild glance and answered, "Went to the Pola!"

"Went to the Pola Islands? You didn't raise pigs in the Pola for five years, did you? Haha…” Not waiting for Joker to respond, suddenly some relatives burst out laughing, and others at the same table, also laughed uncontrollably. Baron stayed silent.

Joker grinned, casually took out a check, brushed a few strokes to sign his name then pushed it to Baron and said boldly, "You should know that the Perry family does not welcome you. You definitely came back for the money. As long as you are willing to finalize divorce procedures with Tracy, you can feel free to fill any numbers on this check, for immediate cash at any bank in Cona.” Hearing this, all relatives were shocked with envious eyes.

"Joker, you don’t need to give him money. Tracy is my daughter, if I want them to divorce, they must divorce, why should we give him money?" Sherry looked at the check, as if she had taken out her own money and given it to Baron for nothing.

In a disdainful look, Joker said with a snicker, "Mrs. Perry, to me, money is just a string of numbers. I don't want to cause any more trouble. I just want to marry Tracy as soon as possible.”

Hearing Joker say this, Sherry did not dare to say anything more. She just looked at Baron's eyes more grimly.

Amidst the envy of the relatives, Baron picked up the check, then "shhhhck!" Just when everyone thought he was going to accept it, Baron actually tore the check into pieces in front of everyone. Then he looked at Joker with a calm face, "If Tracy wants a divorce, I'll never ask anything of her family again. But if she doesn't want to, no one should try to interfere in our affairs.”

His brothers from the Pola Islands knew full well that a calm Baron was at his most dangerous.

Joker's eyes narrowed slightly as this guy in front of him made him feel a hint of stress, a feeling that was very unpleasant. The others all looked like they were gloating – those who dared to offend Joker was just asking for trouble.

Just at the critical time, a clear sound of high heels on the floor echoed. Tracy came with the little girl Lara. “Joker, why are you here again? This is my home, you are not welcome. Get the hell out immediately!" As soon as Tracy saw Joker, her face immediately turned gloomy and she gave an order to expel him.

Hearing this familiar voice, Baron, whose back was turned to the door, trembled fiercely. He thought countless times about how the scenario would go when he met with Tracy again, and also secretly rehearsed this scenario numerous times. But when he really had to face her, he found that all the previous rehearsals were useless. Now he did not dare to look back at the woman he missed for five years with deep regret.

"Dad!" Baron did not yet turn back when a familiar voice suddenly appeared behind him. He trembled violently and turned around to look at Lara with a joyful face.

At the airport, it was this little girl who called him daddy. Baron squatted down and hugged the little girl into his arms. It felt so natural, as if he had done this long before.

At this moment, Tracy saw Baron and Lara gazing at each other for a while. The air seemed to be frozen.

Over the past five years, this little shadow had appeared in his mind endlessly. He missed Tracy so much and he felt guilty for his fault, driving himself to become stronger and worthy of her love. Baron endured and suffered a lot to bring himself up to this stage. Tracy stared firmly at Baron for a while as she recalled all her memories with the young man before her.

"Sweetheart, I'm back!" Baron broke the silence emotionally.
