“Maybe a little. As you can see, my attire isn’t what it should be.” Claire said, pulling away from Tabitha’s embrace.“Oh, isn’t that brother’s shirt?” Tabitha exclaimed when she noticed and looked at Blake talking to the police giving his statement.“Jill, these men are not waking up. We need to call an ambulance for them.” One policeman said, walking to the policewoman still writing down Blake’s testimony.“Didn’t you say all you did was knock them out? Why aren’t they awake?” Jill suspiciously looked at Blake.Blake placed his hand behind his head and smiled. “Don’t know, maybe I hit them a little too hard? They were about to rape my wife, you know.”“Humph, okay, call it in and get these men treatment. I still need their testimony to see what took place here.”“What do you mean? Those, those hooligans attacked my sister, and you don’t know what’s happening?” Tabitha was furious at the policewoman for her words.“Please calm down, Miss. I’m saying we need to get all the evidence w
“Sylvia, I’m sorry, but an emergency with Claire has delayed my arrival. I promise I’ll make it up to you and Tabitha tomorrow.” Blake glanced at Claire, who had fallen asleep in the passenger seat.“Emergency? Is everyone okay?” Sylvia’s tone softened when she heard that there was trouble.“Yes, all is well, for the moment. It’s late, and you can use my suite for the night. I’ll be arriving later, and I’ll try not to wake you when I arrive.” Blake answered.“Okay, be careful.” Sylvia then hung up the conversation.Claire was fully awake when she heard Blake’s and Sylvia’s conversation. He would meet with another woman, and she didn’t know how to feel about that. She could also see her sister getting closer to him, and she was getting conflicting emotions. She remembered his protective embrace when she was thrown into the pit of despair. He came like a hero, saving me, the men who threatened her didn’t have a chance, and he saved her.Claire remembered all the times she was with this
A few minutes passed, and they finally removed their embrace and walked out of the bathroom, only to be met with Blake on the couch, sleeping while sitting up with his mouth agape and a little drool in the corner of his mouth. The two women smiled at their hero.“He looks like a kid while he’s sleeping, doesn’t he,” Tabitha said adoringly.“So, this is my hero? Hehe, he’ll get a cramp if we let him continue like this.” Claire said as she nudged him on his shoulder.Blake awoke to the two sisters next to him, and he smiled.“When did I deserve to have two angels by my side?” Blake said as he got off the couch, placing his hand behind his sore neck.“How do you feel?” He also asked in front of Claire.“I’m fine. Tabitha helped a great deal.” Claire said, reaching out and holding onto Tabitha’s hand.“Well, that’s good. Then I shall be on my way. I’ll see you tomorrow, have a good rest. We can’t have you looking like the dead when presenting the presentation.”Blake made his way towards
Sylvia awoke with the smell of breakfast and slowly got out of bed. She entered the suite’s dining area, looked at Blake’s back, and smiled. ‘How great it would be if she would wake up every morning to this scene.’“How was your night? I didn’t wake you in my late arrival, did I?” Blake asked as he was still preparing the meal, with his back towards her.“Huh, what? No, I slept throughout the night. What happened that delayed you?” Sylvia asked through her thoughts being interrupted.“Someone is plotting against Claire, and I interrupted them last night.” Blake then turned and started to place the breakfast on the table.“Is it involving the investment for the entertainment business?” Sylvia asked, looking at all the delicious foods Blake had laid out.“Partially, there is a mole in the company, and he wants to harm my wife in the process,” Blake said as he sat down next to her.“So, what are you going to do about it?” Sylvia started to eat her breakfast.“Nothing.”“Nothing? This is
To confess to her sister was one thing, but confessing to his family was another. Just then, Tabitha walked into their conversation.“Sylvia, are you bullying my sister?” Tabitha asked, looking at the scene in front of her.“No, she came back from the kitchen all flustered, and I asked if she was falling for Blake. We all know the terms of the contract.”“I, I don’t know. It’s complicated.” Claire finally answered the two women in front of her softly and made her way into her room.“Sister is confused right now. All she has ever known was to look down on brother, and now he’s done something that no other has done.” Tabitha explained as she watched her sister enter her room.“And what’s that?”“Being a hero,” Tabitha said as she went back to the bathroom to wash. Before the two women were ready, Blake had entered the dining area with the plates of food for breakfast and laid them down before returning to clean the kitchen.Tabitha returned and sat at the table to enjoy her meal. A few
“Miss. Dalton, is this what you have planned for the presentation to the CEO of Elon Trust? I understand that a mishap happened last night, and maybe you didn’t have your mind on the ultimate goal. As I see here, it’s a bit lacking.” Said Mr. Weaster Sleizer, a balding middle-aged man with bifocals that he took off to look at Claire.Mr. Weaster Sleizer was a senior board member with many members under him. The board members, who were his backers, began to agree with him. Soon all the members were behind him in their assessment of the presentation.“Sir, if you would point out the flaws within the presentation, my team could get on the corrections as soon as possible so we can present it.” Claire began her rebuttal.“Miss. Dalton, it’s lacking in the data and the overall sloppy workmanship. We will discuss this at the next board meeting and assign a more reliable team to present our wishes on the investment to Elon Trust. Maybe we can get Henry here, and his team before the business g
Blake had looked at his friend’s body when he shook his hand and found that he was a good candidate to start training his body with authentic martial arts, not the watered-down version that the military trained.“Here is a breathing exercise and skilled moves to get you started. We have only a month to get you into better shape, and you need to stop drinking, which hinders your flow for the time being.” Blake explained and handed him a booklet that he had prepared beforehand. He would utilize the information given to him from the inheritance and begin to copy them on paper.Dean left the office, leaving Mr. Wheaton still dazed by what he had witnessed.“Is there something that you want to say?” Blake asked Mr. Wheaton.“Young Master, how could you transfigure this power, and could you train many in this skill?” Mr.Wheaton asked.“Yes, why? Do you want to learn this power as well?”“I dare not. I’m too old, and I believe my time has sailed, but my only son has a daughter Kelly Wheaton.
George stayed silent for a while and then described what had happened that night. He let her know about Anderson’s outrageous demands for the marriage and why he had to have her get married the next day to Blake. Tabitha then sat there and pondered the news with shock and then anger.“That’s outrageous, but grandfather, do you know she still harbors feelings for this Steve Anderson?”“Sigh, yes, I was hoping that these three years with Blake would spark love between them. If not, at least an understanding of marriage. Who knew how stubborn your sister is.”Tabitha stayed silent, knowing all Blake’s troubles in the past, and was very melancholy.“Ask him if all this could be related,” Tabby asked Tabitha in her mind.“What do you mean?” Tabitha asked her sister.“It’s unusual that the Anderson family would want all those shares for a betrothal gift and put Dynasty Entertainment in a dire situation.”“Grandfather, could all this be related?” Tabitha finally asked, looking into her grand
The color went out of his face, and he stared at the two women, his love clinging to the other’s neck. He blinked a few times as the situation couldn’t be processed instantly. Jacqueline was leaving him for another woman; leaving for another man was one thing, but for another woman? Granted, Xuanlu was a gorgeous woman, the most beautiful he had ever laid eyes upon, but for the love of his life to say she preferred another woman over him, to see her giving the other woman such a kiss that he had never received, his stupified feelings became anger.Grabbing the embedded cleaver, Brutus swung it towards the two women. The force and momentum of the swing would split Jacqueline into two, but a sound of metal hitting metal was suddenly heard, and Brutus's force was stopped instantly.“Cling”Brutus was shocked at the scene he was seeing. There, on his clever that could slice an animal through and through bone, was being held by two fingers accompanied by Blake.“Sir, I believe you are bein
“Master and Misses. Please, this way.” Soto Asa said and beckoned them to the entrance of the restaurant.Blake and Xuanlu entered the building only to find that it more or less looked like a tavern than a restaurant. What were they expecting? This was, after all, a small village. Ignoring the decore, they sat at one of the tables as many were curious why such royalty was coming here.A nervous young woman arrived and smiled her best at the couple. With a massive bustline and hourglass figure, she looked like she would be the most beautiful in the village. She was quite the looker, with an innocence on her face. She has wavy, long, auburn hair and blue eyes. But compared to Xuanlu, she paled in appearance.“What can we do for you?” She asked, smiling intensely.“What meals do you recommend for breakfast?” Xuanlu asked with a lovely voice that the men and woman fell in love with upon hearing.Since her cultivation had risen, Xuanlu’s seductive dragon aura had also risen, making her mor
Blake Prime was sitting in a luxurious carriage, being pulled by four white horses with black horns on their heads. His eyes closed as they traveled to the middle of the Provenances to meet with the Emperor. He suddenly opened his eyes with a smile. Xuanlu, sitting next to him, was sleeping soundly, laying her head on his shoulder.“What a formidable Seal,” Blake said. In the past, when his clones were far away, they could not communicate with one another until they were rejoined or closer together, causing them to lapse with the information arriving swiftly. This changed since the Mind Palace had the Stone Steely arrive with the Scripture. They were indeed one but not one. It was complex, but it was worth it not to have this weakness. Everything the clones were doing now was within Blake’s knowledge. Still, he could also stop the information when they required alone time with his women so he would not be distracted during a critical situation and vice versa.Blake then looked down at
Lucy was startled and cried out when the Soul Brand was placed on her soul for Blake to control her. She didn’t think that Blake would use such an unscrupulous method on her.“I’m taking precautions. How am I to know if you have a way to break the Dao pledge? This way, you can’t use other methods to deceive me. If you had been honest with me initially, maybe I would have trusted you more.” Blake Three stated with a smirk.In truth, Lucy did have a way to break the oath but didn’t want to bring it out until the last moment and stab Blake in the back. But now, with the Scripture Soul Brand upon her soul, she had no other choice but to obey Blake’s will and command.If Lucy had known that Blake had such malice intentions upon her, she would have never revealed the Soul Brand and its power over others. She looked over at Bob, gritted her teeth, and blamed Bob for telling Michael about their seals.Bob looked at Lucy apologetically. All she wanted to do was ease Michael’s worries, but she
“Hey, I’m not a devil. I’m a Fallen Angel.” Lucy replied. Taking offense to what Sylvia had said.“Okay, don’t get your panties in a bunch. I was only joking with the fellow. Besides, you look great. Do you want to get tea later?” Sylvia replied.“Sylvia. This is not the time.” Blake Three stated, shaking his head in disbelief at his cousin constantly hitting on his women.“I was only being friendly, a goodwill gesture for my joke at her expense.” Sylvia gave an innocent look towards the group, making her seem being wronged by Blake Three.“Claire is taking the stage, so to speak. Let’s listen to what she has to say.” Blake Three said, changing the subject.“Thank you all for coming. I want to inform you all that there has been a breach on Earth and many other planets where the Upper Realm had released many to cause damage to the people and bring them closer to the church for salvation. A Fallen had orchestrated this with the help of the Upper Realm’s Guardian of the Heavenly Tribulat
An hour had passed, and all were ready to depart. The many women surrounding Claire waited impatiently when two children and a black horse with a golden horn arrived.“I said for you two to come along, why a horse. Why are you bringing a horse with you?” Claire asked, surprised to see Huang’s arrival.“He also wanted to travel and wouldn’t take no for an answer.” Ye Chen embarrassingly stated, placing his hand behind his head.This reminded Claire of Blake, and she could not help but smile a little.“It’s fine, Mother. Huang will be of great help.” Elsie stated but didn’t elaborate.All went to the Transportation Formation, and soon, a blue hue surrounded them. They had to enter the Empire City’s Transportation formation to arrive in the Small World.“Why doesn’t Blake utilize his skill and have all the Formations travel to the Small World?” Sylvia wondered.“It’s a fallback plan. With only one hub, it’ll stop accidents from happening and have people arriving in the Small World.” Sara
Ye Chen and Su Yuhan stopped their sparing and watched as their Master’s wife was talking and arguing with herself. When Claire noticed, she became embarrassed over her actions since she didn’t keep it inside while talking with Roseline.“That’s all for today. Go and have fun. All cultivation and no relaxing can cause bottlenecks in the future. Keep it all equal; work and fun go hand in hand.” Claire said, and then she departed from the courtyard, with the confused children watching her rushing over to her room.Claire entered her mind Palace and encountered Goddess Roseline standing there looking at Claire with sorrow.“Claire, I’m….” Roseline began but was interrupted by Claire.“Save it. We have much to discuss.” Claire said, looking at Roseline indifferently.“You’re right. As far as my Grandfather said, the people that have infiltrated the Earth are hiding in a place known for its war-torn environment, making them hide their auras. I’m unfamiliar with your world’s landscape, but
Roseline could have sworn that she had misheard her Grandfather.“There is no return mission, so will all those people?” Roseline asked.“It’s been decided that they will be eliminated when their worth is no longer needed, or if they can ascend again, the Heavenly Tribulation will be used to the max and destroy them without a soul to return,” Harold said, looking at Roseline.“Well, you are now back, and they will not be used in such a manner. You can stop them.” Roseline said, looking like a heroine.“It’s too late. They have already descended and are waiting on the sign to attack.” Harold said, disheartened.“Already? How many?” Roseline asked.“As many as a million strong. They are in a remote area, keeping a low profile, not even releasing their auras due to a powerful individual who showed himself, so they will not be discovered until the destructive force arrives.” Harold said, shaking his head, depressed for what he had allowed to be done through being controlled.Roseline thou
When Roseline hit the wall, she spat up some blood; this was the extent of the power he released. Roseline did not fare too well when her Grandfather released his power onto her. Realizing what he had done, he calmed himself and rushed to her.“Rosaline, my child, see what you have made your Grandfather do?” Harold said, looking at her.Fear was seen in her eyes for the first time as she looked upon her Grandfather. This man had always treated her with kindness and love. Right now, she didn’t even know who he was.“You are not my Grandfather!” Roseline yelled out at the old man. This made him step back suddenly in surprise and then regain his composure.“What are you saying? I’m indeed your Grandfather. Why are you saying such a thing?” Harold asked.“My Grandfather would have never used his power against me. He would never have locked me up and sealed my cultivation. You are not my Grandfather but an imposter!” Roseline cried out.“Alas, the little things always give it away,” Harold
