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
“Don’t you fret? We’ll follow the evidence and bring the culprit to justice. You take care and let us do our jobs.” John said, and they both followed Jill out, leaving Joan with a worried look and a foreboding feeling that something terrible was about to happen.The three went into the police car and headed towards Express Delivery to chat with Blake.“Are you two okay in handling this case? You may be too close to the victim.” Jill asked the two officers in the front of the car from the back seat.“You only arrived in the police force. We have handled many cases like this, and rest assured, we can handle it. Regardless of who the person is.” John said, looking at the traffic as he drove.Blake decided to arrive at Express Delivery to guide the female designer on the design of the company’s sign and wait for the power station installation for his vans.“What do you think of these designs for our new sign?” Blake asked Sara, who was by his side while still looking at the design that th
The hits were like soft clouds upon Blake’s face with his body tempering, and the punch didn’t even leave a mark. This surprised John, who was placing great force on that last punch, and any other person would have at least shown discomfort from his punch.“I’ll tell you what I believe happened,” Peter said as he looked upon Blake’s uncaring expression.“Please, do tell.”“You got in touch with someone in the underground through the Syndicate and pressured Fredrik into the sale of the Elon Delivery Service. You confronted him and stole the business from him. Fredrik then found out about the deceit and threatened you, and you had him killed. How’s that for an idea?” Peter said.“Bravo, if I could clap, I would. It’s quite the imagination you have there. Maybe you could start a web novel for your imaginative talent.” Blake mocked the officer.SLAP“Confess!” John yelled, getting more agitated over Blake’s lack of emotions.SLAP“Confess, dam you!”SLAP“If you don’t confess, I’ll never
The voice then didn’t speak any longer as Yawayer frowned. She didn’t want to personally leave Heaven and deal with the Four Guardians herself, but the actual creator wanted her to go, and she was helpless to follow his commands. It was the same with the God wars and the rebellion in Heaven all those years ago. She regretted her actions, but what was she supposed to do? The creator had a plan involving her pretending to be him and utilizing the Heaven Angels to bring the Power of Faith to this dimension. In the end, she lost her bestie and had all of the women of her race exiled to Hell, a barren dimension, as instructed by the creator. Now, he wanted her to personally go and release the four guardians and cause destruction upon the Mortal realm to bring more Power of Faith to them.Sighing again, she prepared herself and took out a golden-lined jade token. With this token, she could easily descend and not have to pay such a price for her cultivation to degrees. She changed into a mor
“Don’t look at me like that. We are to leave for the Inner World now. Ladies, we will depart first.” Blake Three stated and headed to the Traveling Formation.“What, no kiss goodbye?” Clara asked as she dropped the sound barrier between her, Blake Two, and the rest of the world.“I’ll kiss you if you want.” Blake Two said next to her.“I would never deny a kiss from you,” Clara said, kissing Blake Two thoroughly.Blake Three and Susan Hemingway entered the Traveling Formation, and Blake guided the Formation to take them to the Inner World. To Susan’s surprise, a tunnel of lights arrived, and she looked at it wonderfully.“The Thraveling Formation will bring us to a courtyard of the family I married into. The pressure in the Inner World is greater than in the Small World, and the Spirit Qi is denser. I will create a light barrier around us to help with the sudden pressure and see if you can handle the change in atmosphere.” Blake Three said with concern over Susan’s well-being.“I unde
Blake Two saw the revelation in her eyes as she realized the situation. He had a foreboding feeling and saw it change into a lustful stare.“As I had said, you are married, and my cultivation will cause you harm, so I’m afraid I will have to decline your offer.” Blake Two said, looking at Susan with an apologetic smile.The Goddesses laughed at Blake’s comment, which confused the man.“What’s so funny?” Blake Two asked, confused over their sudden outburst.“It’s not only your cultivation inside of you. Do you realize you may also be the cure for the Vampiere condition?” Clara asked Blake.“Cure? How so?” Blake asked, not knowing where this was leading.Susan Hemingway heard what Clara said and was surprised by her words. There was never a cure for her race’s condition. They only had to bear the thirst and hunger of their condition. Normal treatments had all failed when trying to revert back to humans. Many wanted to, but most wanted to continue having the power that the condition brou
Blake was speechless hearing this from Susan Hemingway. Was she not already married to Reginald? She was also of the vampire race, and his cultivation could harm her condition.“I. I don’t think that would be a wise decision. I’m….” Blake began.“All too willing to become yours.” Came a voice that Blake never would have believed saying such a thing.Claire walked to the couple and smiled at Susan Hemingway.“Who is this enchanting woman, Blake?” Claire asked, looking at Susan.“This is MRS. Hemingway of the Hemingway family.” Blake introduced Claire to Susan and emphasized MRS.“Ah, so you are a….” Claire hesitated in her speech.“Vampire, yes, we feed on blood,” Susan said, seeing the startled woman.“Understood,” Claire said and smiled kindly.“Always the gigolo, are we not?” a voice came from behind Claire.Blake looked, and to his surprise, an elderly woman coming from behind her. His surprise was warranted since he had never allowed such a person to enter the Small World. Blake l
“Sorry, but it seemed important. Is everyone okay?” Blake asked, looking at the area where Tabitha had come to call upon him.“Yes, they are in the living room waiting for my return,” Tabitha replied.“Okay, I will take it from here. Don’t worry.” Blake said, hugging her to comfort her fears.“Thank you for coming,” Tabitha said and held onto Blake for a while as her motions became calmer.Blake then let her go, and they proceeded to the living room, where the couple were waiting for Tabitha’s return.They were surprised when they saw Blake’s arrival, as they assumed he was away on business.“You arrived,” Susan Hemingway said with surprise.“Yes, with Tabitha saying that your family was here, I came quickly. What seems to be the trouble? I will help as much as I can.” Blake said he had a good impression of this family and didn’t want more trouble in the future because of their race.“This is the situation. My family is on the brink of extinction.” Reginald quickly stated.“How is tha
Sir. Aldridge then left the room and made a phone call. A man in red robes was drinking a glass of bourbon and sitting next to the fireplace with a nice fire crackling when the phone rang beside him.“Yes.” The red cardinal replied.“Your eminence, the ones known as Azrael, Chamuel, and Ezekiel, have disappeared after the destruction of the holy temple. They left with Blake and have not returned as planned.” Sir. Aldridge replied over the phone.There was silence on the cardinal’s end as the news was shocking and startling. Then, a respiring voice was heard on the other end.“What of the Hemingway family?” The cardinal inquired.“We have been only monitoring them, and they have not caused any trouble since they had last met with Blake Elon. It seems they keep in the shadows and do not want to bring any attention to themselves. Azrael wanted to only monitor their movements for the time being since Blake Elon was a greater threat to the Holy Order, but since….” Sir. Aldridge informed th
The two sisters looked at Julie with confusion. Family vacation? When was this supposed to take place? Then Tabitha’s eyes widened, and she remembered that Blake had promised them a family vacation after Tabitha had graduated from college, and she smiled in her remembrance. She stopped at a posterboard when she first met Blake, and he promised her a family vacation to celebrate her graduation. With all that had happened since then, she had forgotten entirely this promise until Julie brought it up.“I forgot Blake’s promise since then,” Tabitha replied.“Then it’s good that I reminded you,” Julie said.“Mom, with everything going on, it’s going to be a miracle that even he remembers the promises he made,” Tabitha replied and checked on her son, who had woken from his nap.“No, a promise is a promise. Blake has to make it happen.” Julie said, folding her arms to reintegrate her demand.“Mom, I’m a Mother as well, and going galavanting on vacation is the last thing I need to do,” Tabitha
“What do you think Blake is doing to her?” Kelly, who was naïve, wondered as pain and punishment sounded from the home.“Sounds like he is punishing her for not being forward with her information when they came into the truce,” Sylvia replied to Kelly.“Blake doesn’t punish. He’s too nice of a person.” Kelly replied, not knowing Blake for too long.The woman around her looked at her naive nature and laughed.“Blake once killed all those who had occupied this town because they were evil people who were planning on harming the world,” Sara replied, as she had been there when it had happened, even to the point when her cousin wanted to kill her and Blake only to meet his demise at the hands of his saviors.“So, he’s not kind?” Kelly asked, worried.“Blake is kind, loving, and sweet to his family and friends. If you cross his bottom line, you are his enemy, and you will suffer greatly in his hands. Blake always says he would rather have many friends than many enemies. It’s unfortunate; he
“Okay, Clara. How will you guide us, and how did you enter Blake’s Traveling Formation? Only family or someone with a jade token can enter and travel?” Claire asked, leading Clara from the Traveling Formation.“He, he. A little secret, my dear.” Clara said, and this time, she sounded her age.Roseline was, after all, a Formations’s Master. The Formation Blake had created, even with the help of Silver Light, was still a weak Formation that she could infiltrate. If Blake had utilized the Scripture writings, this would have been another story for her.“Okay. Let’s not quibble over details. Is he still with Lucy?” Clara asked.“Yes,” Claire replied, looking at the home Blake had brought Lucy to.Suddenly, loud slapping came from the home, as did loud anguish sounds.SLAP!“AUGHT!”SLAP!“AUGH! MORE!”SLAP, SLAP!Everyone around looked towards the home, surprised to hear the beatings that were taking place within.Blake was there with a paddle in hand, and Lucy was bent over a coffee table
