“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
Claire was ecstatic that the investment would happen but was shocked by the following news Mr. Wheaton relayed to her.“But the amount you are proposing is too little. If that is satisfactory, we offer to invest one hundred million in Dynamic Entertainment, with only one condition.”“Yes, yes, but what is the condition?”“We only would like to do a periodic audit on the accounting books in Dynamic Entertainment to make sure that we know where the investment is being spent.”“Mr. Wheaton, in the presentation, it clearly lays out the financial statements and marketing layout of your investment. If you want, I could replay the graphs and charts again.” Claire said, trying to appease Mr. Wheaton.“Miss. Dalton’s presentation did lay out the budgeting and financial statement quite thoroughly, but I trust my team, and being it’s a surmountable amount, I trust you could understand our concerns.”This was Blake’s only specification in the deal. When he did the soul search, he had already seen
Henry then looked up at Mr. Sleizer with hatred in his eyes.“You did what?”“Sorry, Mr. Weston, but I received orders from Miss. Kingsley, to hand over the presentation for Global.” Mr. Sleizer quickly replied, knowing that Miss. Kingsley was Henry’s Ackelis heel. As one of the board of directors that would benefit from Global, he couldn’t disobey Miss. Kingsley.When Henry heard that his girlfriend asked for the presentation, his anger cooled down.“I see. Get on with your duties, and don’t let anyone know what transpired today.”Mr. Sleizer then left the office, wiping his brow as he left.Henry looked perplexed when he heard that Samantha had changed the plan he and she had come up with earlier this morning. He was supposed to go up to the board, retrieve the presentation, and deliver it under Claire’s name to Mr. Wheaton tomorrow and be the company’s hero, but now he was left to the sidelines. This change didn’t bold too well for him, so he called Samantha.“Hello? Huh, huh.”“De
After Tabitha visited with her grandfather, she returned home and realized that her mother hadn’t returned. Calling a few times to her mother, she made a call to Claire.“Hello?” Claire answered from her car.“Sis, have you been in touch with mom?” Tabitha asked with a worried tone in her voice.“No, I just got out from an essential interview. Why? Isn’t she at home?”“No. Does she usually stay away this long? I tried to call, but I didn’t get through.”“This is not like her. She usually comes home after she visits her friends. If I can’t get in touch, I’ll call her friends when I get home; maybe her phone is not charged.” Claire replied, feeling worried about her mother.“I hope that is the case. I’ll feel terrible if she’s in trouble; how soon are you coming home?” Tabitha asked, seeing the time was close to off-hour.“I’ll arrive in a while, and we can call her friends to find her. I’m sure she’s fine.” Claire replied as she got onto the highway, making her way home.“Okay, bye.” T
Gloria frowned and was about to move to help Blake with her wind powers.“Stop! What are you doing? We are in school.” Blake stopped Gloria.“What? I wanted to help you dust off.” Gloria said, pouting her displeasure at him stopping her.“Not in school. We can’t show our powers so easily. Jerold is already calling us freaks.” Blake said, looking sternly at her.“Hey, what’s the hold-up? I’m hungry.” A voice came behind them, and a young boy with brown hair and almost the same features as Blake arrived, along with another girl with long black hair.“That’s all you ever think of is food, Kyle,” Gloria said. “Blake was bullied again.”“Isn’t that the third time this week?” Lacey asked with a soft voice.“Fourth, if you include what he did in class by tripping Blake when he went to do the math problem,” Olivia stated.“Come on, let’s go and eat,” Blake said as he led the four others into the school cafeteria line.While they were waiting, Olivia inched her way closer to Blake. “Are you co
“I’ll be staying here as well,” Maia said with a gleam in her eye.“I don’t want you to go and do anything foolish.” Blake Prime said.“Don’t worry. I’ll watch her and the rest of the family well.” Blake three stated.“I’ll be returning to the Small World and increase my cultivation. The Syrum Syndicate has finally stabilized, and I can focus on my training.” Dynasty replied.“I can’t leave and need to tend to the baby, but Nancy, you should go into the Small World at least and continue cultivating,” Koran said, looking at Nancy, who had always stayed by her side.“No need. When you give birth, we will continue.” Nancy replied, looking like it didn’t matter whether she needed to cultivate or not.“I will return to the Small World as well.” Kelly Wheaton proclaimed, not giving a reason.“I’ll be following you then as well. I asked for a few days off from the precinct and said I would bring my level up.” Jill said, placing her arm around the youthful girl beside her.Then, all attention
“I’ll speak to Kilgore on this matter,” Jack said, sighing. This would also damage the family’s reputation. Using the Kilgore family and then kicking them out of the family was a great taboo in the Upper Realm. Who would trust such a family?“Talk, talk, talk, just go and kick his sorry ass to the street; I never liked that man, to begin with.” Roseline’s Grandfather stated this with a harumph to emphasize his discontent. “My Roseline was always too good for him.”Roseline sighed in relief. With her Grandfather here, she was surely going to dissolve her marriage to Robertson Kilgore, and then she would be free to pursue Blake with a clear conscience.“Come. Let Grandpa Harold have a look at you.” Grandpa Harold said with a kind smile at his Granddaughter.“Grandpa,” Roseline said, and she arrived before her Grandfather with a girlish smile.“Good, good. You’ve grown in your cultivation, to middle God Lord, not too shy from the peak if I don’t miss my guess.” Grandpa Harold proclaimed
“What? God Lord? Roseline, how could you be God Lord?” Rosleine’s Mother asked, surprised by this fact.“Not only God Lord but middle level. She is only one level under Robertson. How is this possible?” Roseline’s Father asked with suspicion in his eyes. “ Have you been removing the Origin Stones or Crystals without permission?”“Father, what Daughter to you take me as?” Roseline asked, feeling disappointed in her Father. Instead of praising her for her accomplishments, he accused her of stealing. “ You know I’m a Master Formations Master, I utilized an Origin gathering Formation.”Roseline had thought about how to explain her increase to her parents a long time ago when she witnessed Blake creating his Spirit Qi gathering Formation and was able to utilize it here in the Upper Realm. The Gathering Formation had been lost for generations, and no one could directly cultivate the Origin within the Upper Realm.“Impossible. That Formation has been lost for so long. How could you know of s
Roseline continued on her way to her Father’s estate. She wanted to see him and have an audience to discuss the disbandment of the Kilgore and Haven families. Her Father had dotted on her since she was a child. She felt that her Father would take her side after he listened to what Kilgore was doing with the Heavenly Tribulation Formation and his infidelity so bluntly in front of her.Roseline didn’t have to travel far since their home was joined with the Haven family estate, as it was customary in the Upper Realm for the married children to be allowed to live within the family. Passing many servants, she stopped one and inquired where her Father was. She was informed that he was entertaining guests as he had been doing since he retired from the Heavenly Formation task.Thanking the servant, she quickly went to her Father’s entertainment hall. Entering slowly, for she didn’t know who her Father was entertaining at this time, she looked on at the three people in the room.Her Mother was
Kilgore could only bow to the fading statue and reply.“Yes, Master.”When the flaming statue disappeared altogether, Kilgore was able to relax. His Master was more potent than any person he had encountered as a God all his life.“Roseline. I will break your control of the Formation and retake what is rightfully mine.” Kilgore mainly said to himself through clenched teeth and rushed out of his room to confront his wife.It was soon discovered he couldn’t enter Roseline’s room due to the powerful barrier formation surrounding her room. Even if he tried to break it with all his might, it would only deflect it back to him threefold and could cause him more damage. With a huff, he left the area.“Stay in your room, hiding like the turtle you are,” Kilgore said as he was leaving when an aura not much worse than his came to him, making him turn around in surprise.“Did she break through? How? She hasn’t had any cultivation resources lately and has only recently broken through to the peak Go
She was channeling the white energy and discovered that it had already entered her womb and fertilized one of her eggs.“This is all your fault again,” Claire said, slapping Blake Prime consecutively to vent her frustration.“It’s fine; we will handle it. I love you.” Blake Prime said and kissed her passionately, stopping her from continuously slapping him.Feeling Blake’s kiss, she melted into his embrace and knew she had nothing to fear.“She must have planned for you to be delayed in ascending with Blake,” Maia said, turning her head towards the loving couple.“You want to continue?” Blake three asked Maia, who was still on top of him.“As much as I would love to experience what she had, I’m not into having three men at once. I already received what I wanted.” Maia said, placing her hands over her stomach.The other two then looked at Claire, who was hugging Blake Prime. Don’t even think about it. That was all Roseline’s idea. I only went along for the ride and got more than I barg
The two women were chatting as if their time apart had never occurred. Maia explained to Roseline what had happened when she was poisoned by Sister Terrie and how Blake had saved her from the poison with no antidote.“And now the woman is back with you, thinking she is your daughter? What a mysterious way of resolving a known assassin. Reverting them to the point that they never trained to kill you. Blake is truly amazing.” Roseline commented.“How amazing?” Asked the three Blakes, who sounded like stereo. “This amazing?”“Okay, we need not do that.” All three said at once again, making it sound very awkward.Blake Prime looked at them and told the other two to stop talking within his mind.“Now that is settled,” Blake said, turning to the two astonished women on the bed. “Where were we?”“I believe Roseline wanted three at once?” Maia commented with a giggle.“So she did,” Blake said, and the three men approached her.“Be gentle. It’s my first time with three men.” Roseline said soft
“Well, whatever the outcome, know I will face the challenges,” Blake said, hugging her, then looking at Maia and opening his arms for her to join in.Maia couldn’t wait and went into their arms, and they hugged each other.“Oh, by the way, what happened to your clone?” Maia asked. She had grown fond of him; after all, he was the one who took her first time.“What do I have to do to prove that all of my clones are me as well? I am them and ….”“They are you, I know, I know,” Maia repeated what Blake would say every time he would create his clones and then pointed at the hand protruding from the ground. “Then retrieve that one. It’s giving me the creeps.”Suddenly, the hand vanished, and there was a slight height deformation from the ground in the general area.Suddenly, a cold chill came into him, and he shrugged it off as the power of water was still lingering within the clone he had just absorbed. The high mountain peaks that were defrosted within his divine world were suddenly full
