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
“Congratulations on the investment. I knew you could achieve it, and I had no doubt whatsoever.” Blake boasted with a great smile. “Let’s go out and celebrate.”“How could you!” Claire yelled and ran into her room, upset.“What did I say, and why did Claire come home early?” Blake asked.“It’s mom. She’s missing, and she hadn’t come home since yesterday, and we can’t get in touch.” Tabitha said, getting off of the couch and looking sad.Claire then rushed back out of the room, looking flustered.“The card, the card is missing!”“Card, what card?” Tabitha asked, surprised by Claire’s abrupt entrance.“The three million dollar card that Blake gave me. After I calmed down and looked for the card, I was suspicious, but it wasn’t where I placed it.” Claire explained.Blake and Tabitha looked at each other and knew what had happened with a knowing nod. Julie had taken the card and left, and no wonder she had been ignoring their calls. They figured she had been caught with the missing card a
Claire smiled and felt she was not worthy of this man for the first time. While Tabitha and Sylvia both rolled their eyes and continued eating during their flirting.After dinner, Blake picked up the dirty dishes and finished the chores as the women sat and watched a program together.Blake then went into his room, gathered his left suits, and decided to get them cleaned.“Are you ready, Tabitha, Sylvia? We need to go.” Blake asked when he finished everything.“Where are you going?” Claire asked with a worried look.“I will visit a few of my friends and will not be back tonight,” Tabitha explained.“Are you coming home, Blake?”“I’ll pull an all-nighter at the company, so I’ll see you in the morning.”Claire nodded and bid them goodbye, not talking to Sylvia most of the night.When they left, Claire felt lonely in the empty house. Sitting back on the couch, she watched the TV program. But her mind was still on Blake’s loving words from earlier.Blake and the women got into his Toyota
Entering the cabin, Tabby was sitting on the floor cross-legged and cultivating. The aura manifesting around her had a golden glow around her entire body, and she was solidifying at a rapid state. Gerold was sitting at a table, looking at her progress as Blake walked in.“How is she doing?” Blake whispered to Gerold to get his attention.“Her cultivation is extremely fast, and she’s a genius to progress this much in so little time. With this rapid growth in power, she may even be able to manifest a full spirit body in your world. Of course, she would still only be a roaming spirit, not with a complete body.”“As long as she is fine, that is all that matters. I’ll leave her to you.”Blake left the cabin and walked to the two women in their cultivation. A black sticky gue was seeping out of their skin, and a powerful aroma was coming from them. Seeing this, he went to the back of the cabin and started to prepare their showers for when they completed the solidification of their cores. Pl
Not questioning where the extra cabin came from, the two women walked to the cabin with Blake following behind like a little schoolboy wanting candy. As they entered the cabin, there was a large bed at the back of the room and a table in the middle. When the women saw the bed, they blushed, making Blake more ecstatic with the aura coming from them and walked to the bed and began to take his shirt off.“ What are you doing?” Sylvia asked.“I’m taking my shirt off. To duel cultivate, we need to be bare-skinned, and I’ll use it as a blindfold.” Blake said as he tied the shirt onto his head, covering his eyes as he sat cross-legged.“This will not do. We must cultivate together, which must work for the three of us.” Tabitha said as she unrobed and pushed Blake onto his back and lay on his side, making skin contact.“You’re right, sister. We have to do this together,” Sylvia said as she also unrobed and lay on the other side of Blake, exposing their nude bodies onto his bare chest and side
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
