“Well, you better get into the game and watch for Claire. We both know she’s better than you, but she’s still just a woman. The old man surely will not give the CEO position to a woman, so you better perk up and see what you can do.” Quinton exclaimed back as he slapped the desk, startling Henry back up.

“Dad, I don’t understand. How can we allow her to lead a team to Elon Trust’s investment? She already tarnishes the family by marrying that trash delivery guy.” Henry asked, still holding onto his aching head.

“Well, weren’t you the one who insisted that she and her department take up the challenge?”

“It wanted to humiliate her. How can anyone get to see Mr. Wheaton, much less invest with Elon Trust? Now, she will make the company look bad and make the family a laughing stock.”

“Well, it’s too late now. Everyone knows we are seeking an investment with Elon Trust, and she’s now our only hope.” Quinton said as he turned towards the door, leaving Henry to ponder his mistake.

Quinton then left the office but not without purposely slamming the door.

“Asshole,” Henry uttered under his breath and put his head back on the desk.

Claire was getting feedback from her team to start working on their proposal. She gave herself and her team till the end of next week to have the final draft for their presentation. After everyone left, she continued with previous projects that took a back seat the last two days so her crew could focus on the Elon proposal.

Just then, a knock on the door was heard.

“Come.”

“Miss. Dalton, a gentleman is here to see you.”

A slender woman walked in with long brown hair and glasses hiding her brown eyes, smooth skin, and light completion, making her a sexy secretary. This was Claire’s assistant and friend Gloria Frost.

“Send him in.”

“Right away, mam.”

A middle-aged man with striking features and a tailored suit walked into the office.

“Miss. Dalton, let me introduce myself. I’m John Addams, and I work for Mr. Anderson. I’m to inform you that a plane ticket and reservations have been booked for this weekend to send you to Missouri to be with Mr. Anderson.”

Claire was shocked at this invitation. She wanted nothing more than to leave right this minute and start packing, but her proposal was still in its infancy, and the family dinner with her grandfather was tomorrow. How could she leave just like that with no notice? Grandfather would not allow it. She had to go to a family gathering, and her sister is arriving this afternoon. There was no way that she could do this. She had no time to plan, so there was no way with this short time scale that she could leave.

“Mr. Addams…”

“John, please.” He interrupted her.

“John, please understand I would love to follow you right now, but I can’t leave at such short notice. I have prior engagements that can’t be changed at this moment.”

“I understand. I am informing you of Mr. Anderson’s request, and I shall inform him of your decline and explain in detail your sorrow. I shall be leaving first.”

Claire was in turmoil. She wanted to go and see Steve, but it was so much short notice for her, and she was touched that he would have taken the initiative to get her a plane ticket and reservations book for her just because he missed her. Just as Claire was feeling these mixed emotions, Mr. Addams was on the phone with Steve as soon as he left the building.

“It’s just as you had predicted, young Master. She couldn’t leave on such short notice, so she declined the offer.”

“Good, she will think I’m missing her terribly and want her to come to me. She is such a gullible character. Okay, now keep an eye on her for me. She is the key into Weston’s estate, bye.”

Steve was in his office finishing up his call when a knock at the door was heard.

“Yes.”

The woman who was with him last night, giving the air of a sophisticated woman, walks in wearing a vee-shaped neckline red dress that made her look like a fairy walking towards him. She is Saline Emerson, daughter of Harry Emerson, owner of Emerson Realty. He smiles intensely at her and stands up, greeting her with a passionate kiss.

“Father has agreed to the merger. He will be arriving soon to close the deal. As long as you stick to the deal, all will be done.”

“Saline, that’s great news. I have been working with you to get this deal for months back in Swanville. The merger contract has already been printed, and all he has to do is sign the contract, and our family will be one when we get married. Besides, we already consummated our love last night. How about we continue over on the sofa?”

“Steve, control yourself. After the signing, we will celebrate our two families joining tonight. I invited a friend that I want you to meet, and she’s been wanting to see my fiancé.”

The train arrived close to the time Julie had given to Blake. Standing there was a beautiful woman with long blond hair. She was fair-complected and wore glasses hiding her sharp blue eyes. With a young body, one would have mistaken her for a starlet. If she had removed her glasses, she would have been a younger version of Blake’s wife, Claire. This was Tabitha Dalton, seeing his Sister-in-law Blake walk towards her.

“Tabitha Dalton?” Blake asked her to be confident he had the right person.

“Yes, and who would you be?”

“I’m Blake Elon. Seeing this is our first meeting, I’m your brother-in-law.” Blake extended his hand in greetings, but what came next was very unexpected. The young woman jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“Brother-in-law, so it is you, how I’ve waited for this moment. You don’t know how much I wanted to have a brother, but I guess this will have to do.”

Blake was taken aback by how affectionate this woman was from his wife and mother-in-law. He wasn’t prepared at all.

“Brother-in-law, is there something the matter?”

Tabitha looked into her brother-in-law’s eyes, still holding onto him.

“Cough, cough, Tabitha, don’t you feel embarrassed with me?”

“Embarrass, why? Oh, because I’m hugging you? I’m sorry, I was just so excited to meet you finally. I didn’t believe a word my mom said about you, and seeing you now, I know she’s wrong about you… so is my sister.”

Tabitha said as she removed herself from him and stepped back, looking him over from head to toe.

“Yea, they’re definitely wrong about you. You give off an air of superiority and confidence that not too many can pull off. Were you in the military?”

Blake almost stumbled when he heard her carrying her luggage out of the station to his car.

“What makes you say that?”

“I had a friend who was in the military. He gave the same aura you are giving, a shame he passed away in the war. I cried for a week. They say he was a war hero, saved many men in his platoon.”

“He sounds like he was a great man. Many veterans had died for our freedom and were not honored.”

“Brother-in-law, would it be okay if I just called you brother and you call me sister? I’ve always wanted a brother, but it was impossible when mom and dad divorced, especially with mom’s attitude. I swear she would sell her children for money, you know?”

“Please, sister, I would be honored if you called me brother. Get in. I will take us home.”

“Sure, brother.” Replied Tabitha, who thought that this was a dream come true. She had a brother now to protect and comfort her.

    Tabitha got into his car with all smiles looking upon her new brother. The drive was not long, and their conversation surmised her life at the college and how she lived in the dorm without any breaks during the pandemic, almost like they were in prison. No one could leave or enter the campus; it was in total lockdown. When they arrived, Tabitha quickly got out of the car, ran to the door, and let herself in while Blake lagged, carrying her bags. Entering the home, Blake saw Tabitha hugging her mother and kissing her face like a child would do when they hadn’t been home for a while. “Girl, will you calm yourself down. You’re behaving like a little girl. Who would guess that you are twenty this year.” “Oh, mom, I just missed you so much. That school kept us cooped up for practically all year, and I couldn’t come to visit you or my sister. I even missed my brother and sister’s wedding. How unfair is that.” “What are you gapping about? What brother are you talking about? This piece of

    “What do you know? You’re just a kid. When will you grow up? This marriage is a farce. There is no love whatsoever, and there will never be.” Claire had flared up and explained. Listening to her sister’s explanation, it sounded like she never gave him a chance and was too stubborn to see his good qualities. Tabitha felt sorry for Blake for enduring the hardship her mother and sister had put him through. “Well, if you don’t want him, I guess I will have to take him. I see a lot of potential in Blake, and I believe he will prove both of you wrong and do great things in the future.” Both mother and sister looked at each other and laughed, not only for what she had said but also for being a naive child. “Oh, Tabby, what nonsense. I don’t believe that man can ever amount to anything other than being a deliveryman and work the rest of his life doing just that, once trash always trash,” Claire stated. “I agree. He will always be trash.” Stated her mother to Tabitha. Just then, the door

    “Well, for one, you never asked, and second I don’t boast of my military background.” Blake was annoyed at them, not believing he was in the military. So, he took out his old private rank ID from the army and handed it to his mother-in-law. She looked at the card and handed it over to Claire without saying a word. Being in the military was indeed a big thing for these women, and they were patriots, after all. “So that’s why you were able to trounce Steve. No wonder you know how to fight so well.” Claire stated while handing her husband’s card back to him. “Steve, who’s Steve, and why did brother fight with him?” “Steve is my fian… the heir of the Anderson family. He wanted to marry me also, got into a fight after I married Blake.” “Sounds like a dick to me, trying to get you after you’re married. He doesn’t have any honor or morals like my brother here, and you’re better off for what I can see.” “You’re not to slander Steve. He’s way better than this trash in front of me, and h

    Blake drove for two hours and arrived at his destination; it was still early in the night when he arrived at a large manor. He slowly pulled to the gate and waited for the guard to come out of the small guard shack. The guard came to him and asked for his purpose. “Please inform the headmaster that Blake Elon has arrived and wishes an audience.” “Please wait right here. I shall inform them now.” The guard rushed into the building and made a direct line call to the main building. “The young master has arrived; he wishes to see the headmaster.” Waiting for confirmation, the guard finally walked back to Blake and waved him through the large iron gate that squeaked as it opened up for him. Blake continues to drive to the main entrance. Lightly tapping Tabitha, she awakens from her sleep. “We’re here. Let’s head out.” “Hugh, oh, yeah, okay.” Tabitha unknowingly looks out the car window and is greeted by an older person standing next to it, opening the car door for her. Gliding out

    “You, like this plain ring? There’s no design or writing upon it. So this is the inheritance ring?” Blake couldn’t understand how a plain ring would look beautiful to his sister and much less be treasured.“My boy, don’t judge everything on the surface. Put it on and see if the ring fits. It may be too large for your finger.” Robert said, looking at the ring’s size and having a worried look.“Brother, maybe you can use it as a wedding ring so that no one will be suspicious of it.”Blake then placed the ring on his ring finger on his left hand. At first, it seemed that it indeed was too large for his finger, but within a split second, it fitted snuggly on, like it was perfectly made for him. Robert smiled, and the worried look he had shown earlier melted away.“Well, my boy, it looks like it was made for you.”Blake looked at the ring, which had a faint glow under the light when he reexamined it. With a smile, he thanked his grandfather.“Thank you, grandfather. I will cherish it alway

    Jenkins prepared everything that Robert wanted him to do. The family all received the information to return to the prominent family’s home. If anyone lagged in their appearance, they would be removed from the family. The succession of the head of the family will be announced at the banquet tomorrow night.When Jake received the text, he furrowed his brow and informed his assistant to prepare the private jet for departure and that he was going home.‘Well, the old man has finally decided to hand over the family to me. It’s about time. Even though he was disappointed when that crappy ring didn’t fit, he’s been pressing for me to work harder.’ Jake thought to himself as he sat in the limo headed towards the airport.“Fred, when should I arrive back home?”“Sir, if all is well by the time we arrive at the airport, we should be arriving approximately three am, four at the latest. Sir, why the sudden change in plans?”“The family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night, during which the new hea

    “Thank you, Steve. I most enjoyed our arrangement, by the way, who was that man you had in her bed? He was very handsome.”“I didn’t take no mind. I just had someone grab a random guy under the bridge, a common beggar. I dressed him up and fed him. No one of importance, why would you like to bed him as well?”“Are you mad? I just thought he was cute, is all. Why would I settle for a lowly beggar, ewe, gross.”“Just joking. I’ll be off and have to be the upset boyfriend now. Goodbye, Cheryl. I hope your next life is all you hope it to be.”Steve then left her in the ally and walked towards the crowd. Unknown to Cheryl, when Steve left, the two men that placed the beggar in the room came up from behind, gagged, and dragged her away.Saline was then taken to an ambulance. She was admitted into the hospital ward and given an examination, and they needed to see if she was ovulating, and it bared a greater chance that she could have gotten pregnant from the ordeal. After the tests, she was

    “Seeing that he will be up soon, I will meet him there. You know what I like; send it over while I wait for his arrival.” Not giving a single courtesy to the butler. Jake walked towards the back of the home, where a small table with a few chairs was arranged, a silver platter with a kettle and cups were placed upon it, and a flower arrangement in the center. Jake sat down facing the home in anticipation of his meal’s arrival, and if he had looked upon the backyard, he would have seen Blake jogging back into the house. Blake went back to the second floor and knocked on Tabitha’s door. Receiving a greeting to come in, he opened the door and walked in to see her brushing her hair at the vanity. “Brother, what happened to you? You’re all sweaty. You didn’t get into a fight, did you?” “Do I look like a guy who would go out looking for a fight? Please don’t answer that, hehe. No, I went out for a jog. It was a beautiful morning I couldn’t resist. Let me shower and change, and then we wil

    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

    When the morning sun rose, Blake and Xunalu arrived back at the Chai estate, one walking proudly and another with a bit of a limp.“Blake, you’re back.” Claire proclaimed. “What is wrong with you?”“He twisted something?” Xunnalu said, walking fine.Laughter was heard from Claire as she winked at Xuanlu.“Stop, it’s fine. Never mind; you will only tease me. We will leave for a while to rendezvous with the Emperor. Will you all be alright here?” Blake asked as he straightened himself more.“Sure, we will continue with Yuneer and Chen’s cultivation lessons. As their teacher, I’m doing all of the teaching.” Claire said, looking at Blake, who was always going off and not teaching his pupils.“A great leader always directs those who do a better job than himself.” Blake cheekly replied.“Humph, this is how you can never be working over at Elon Conglomerate, right?” Claire stared at him.“Uhm, Jake is a better CEO than I would ever be, and even though he will be stepping down soon, I have so

    Blake looked upon himself, drenched in Xuanlu’s love nectar, and couldn’t believe she could give Nancy a run for her money. He watched as she convulsed in bed, not attempting to stop the pleasure she was receiving. After calming down from the high she had received from Blake, she looked at him with complete shyness.“I’m sorry. I couldn’t control it.” Xunalu apologized.“It’s quite alright. It’s fine, I actually enjoy this.” Blake said as he dripped in front of Xuanlu. “Let’s continue.”“Augh, right, you didn’t,” Xuanlu said, realizing. “But I don’t know if I can continue.”“Are you in pain?” Blake asked, placing his hand over her pelvis to see if, through their roughness, they had torn anything other than what had to be torn.“No, it’s. Are you sure, look at you?” Xuanlu asked, seeing Blake still drenched in her nectar.“If you feel uncomfortable, we can wash and then continue,” Blake said, looking at Xuanlu. Who was contemplating biting her lower lip, wanting to continue, but Blake

    Xuanlu looked on and sighed. She was his wife, and she approached him, sitting shyly beside him. Blake then handed her a glass, and as he poured the contents from the bottle, it began to sparkle and bubble.“This is called champaign. We use it for celebrations. Think of it as wine with bubbles.” Blake explained that he didn’t bring wine but a more celebratory drink.“Oh, like your sodas?” Xuanlu asked, taking a sip and enjoying the bubbles tickling her nose.“Yes. Something like that.” Blake giggled.“Come have some fruits; I’ll feed it to you,” Blake said, grabbed a strawberry, and placed it before Xuanlu’s mouth.Xuanlu took the sweet berry, enjoyed the sweet and tart flavor, and smiled as a bit of juice dripped from her mouth, causing Blake to lean over and kiss her while devouring the juice from the corner of her mouth.Xuanlu became heated under the influence of Blake, and her hands began to roam on his body as they kissed.

    Blake was silent for a while, and Xunalu allowed Blake to guide her out of the estate. When they arrived at the entrance of the ancestors’ fields in the back mountains, Xuanlu froze, not moving a step further.“Where are you taking me?” Xuanlu asked in a panic. This was the entrance to the ancestor’s fields, and she was never allowed to enter.“I want to show you something; it’s fine; I’m the____previous owner of this land,” Blake said, pulling Xuanlu along the entrance.“Blake, I’m not supposed to,” Xunalu said, still hesitant to enter; it had been instilled into her that she could never enter such a forbidden area.“Relax,” Blake said and remained silent for their travels.When they reached the trail’s end, it opened up to an incredible sight.

With a leap, she exited the tub and rushed into Claire’s arms, wetting them both as she cried even more.“I’ll go and teach him a lesson,” Sylvia said and was about to leave and confront Blake.“No!” Xuanlu cried out, stopping her. “It’s my fault. I was not prepared for him and, and….”“And what?” Helen asked, confused.“We didn’t do anything. He needed to cultivate last night, and I watched over him. Still, I fell asleep, and this morning, when I awoke, I found him lying next to me and kicked him out of bed. I was confused and disorientated and forgot I was married to him; when we were kissing, a letter from the Emperor arrived, and he went to wash. I wanted to wash his back, but when I reached for the sponge, he placed me into the water with my dress on, hiding his body from me, and he…” Xuanlu spoke about what had happened to the three women.“What?
