“Cough, I think we should continue our conversation as we eat. I’m sure that is what Mary was to inform us am I right?”“Yes, mam. Dinner is ready.”They followed the maid into the dining room and sat in front of many delicious foods. The meal was silent, and the only thing they heard was their utensils as they ate.“Do you love him?” Claire asked, to break the silence only to have more silence after everyone stopped eating, obviously targeting Dynasty with her question.“Cough, cough, pardon?”“I asked. Do you love him?” Claire asked, this time with more force as she clinched onto her napkin.“What is there not to love? He is like a god coming from the heavens with his physical stature. But not only can his looks make any woman fall for him, but his decisive attitude toward his enemies makes him a mighty opponent, as his kindness towards his family and friends is genuinely astonishing. I really pity the Anderson family, especially Steve Anderson. He and don’t know the hornet nest he’
Still, damp from his swim, Steve returned home, called his father, and explained everything to him. His father was quiet on the other end until he finally spoke.“Didn’t I warn you about pursuing the Dalton woman? I wanted you to focus on Miss. Sylvia Elon? Not only did you insult Miss. Elon, but you made her your enemy by having an extramarital affair with her beloved cousin’s wife! It would have been better if you could have obtained the photos and video, but it was lost and destroyed. Now you have The Syrum Syndicate’s Princess protecting them. What unlucky star you were born under, I do not know.” Mr. Alex Anderson said on the other end.“What do we do now?” Steve asked. “Dad, I don’t want to be fish food.”“Go back to Missouri; run that branch for now. I’ll think of something. It makes perfect sense why Elon Trust is now interested in real estate.” Alex stated, thinking about how they lost the bid.“I’ll leave tonight,” Steve said and got ready to move to Missouri.Another year h
As Blake made his way to Elon Trust, he called Jenkins, renewed the divorce papers, and had him send a thirty million dollar card. Entering the office area Susan Writtle followed him into his office with his schedule.“Sir, I thought you would take a couple of days off?” Susan asked. She was hoping to get off early today.“Just here for a little while to review some notes and wait for a delivery. What is going on today?” Blake asked as she handed the tablet.“The real estate property was acquired with little cost to us,” Susan explained, knowing Blake was eyeing this area.“Okay, any more real estate that comes over, grab it and create a real estate department to handle the development affairs.” Blake then handed her the tablet and began going over his email.Susan left the room to have Sylvia arrive shortly and sat in one of the chairs in front of his desk.“How’s grampa?”“He’s doing fine.”“And yourself?”“He’s not doing fine at all,” Tabby said, coming out of the jade ring.“Tabby
Claire still didn’t take the intimidating card being handed to her, so Blake placed it on the coffee table in front of her like it was nothing to him. He made his way to a chair away from Claire. Julie looked at the card and longed to reach out and grab it, but until Claire accepted the card, she would not dare to take it, so she sat beside Claire for support.Tabitha emerged from the kitchen with a burger in one hand and fries in the other. Seeing the situation Sat at the table and began to eat as if it didn’t concern her. Blake looked at Tabitha, there eating and smiled. Julie thought Blake smiled at Claire and felt more at ease with him.“Blake, as you can see, Claire is very remorseful over what happened. Can you see it in your heart to forgive her this one time? Also, I want to thank you for saving me in Vegas and for the gift.” Julie said, lifting her wrist to show that she still wore the diamond bracelet.When she mentioned the bracelet, Claire unconsciously placed her fingers
“What’s all the commotion?”“Blake’s watching the football game,” Tabitha answered.“I didn’t know that he liked football.” She replied.“There’s a lot that you don’t know about me. It bothers me that you didn’t ask about my family or me. You were never interested in me. I know everything about you, Claire. Your favorite makeup, shows you watch, and foods you love and hate. Where do you get off saying you didn’t know something about me?”“Well, maybe I’m interested in you now. Why don’t we get to know Blake Elon.” Claire said, a little upset about being lectured by Blake.“What do you want to know? I’ll let you in on a little secret. I never have or will lie to you.” Blake said, rising from the couch. “What do you want to know?”Claire looked at Blake, and Tabitha was astonished at Blake’s demeanor. Was he going to confess that he is the heir and CEO of Elon Trust?“Who is the CEO of Elon Trust? Have I met him?” Was Claire’s first question. She had been wondering why someone as powerf
“Julie, you never gave me a chance. All you saw in me was a lowly delivery guy who wouldn’t amount to anything. Even when I got a business under my name, you looked down on me, saying that I would be bankrupt, and don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve wanted me to give half of the business to Claire. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Elon Trust will always own all businesses owned by Elon Trust, and I only receive the profits, not the business.” Blake said, sitting back down.Julie stayed quiet, and she couldn’t refute what he had said. So, her anger subsided.“Claire, you’ve been awfully quiet this whole time care to share your thoughts?” Blake asked, looking at Claire.“Sigh. You are right, Blake. Mother and I have schemed to take your business away from you, mostly mother, I didn’t care one way or the other, and we didn’t look to you as an equal or give you a chance to get better. We always took advantage of all your skills. When I thought that you had got those two women pre
“In the economic section, the Elon Conglomerate announced a few days ago that the new CEO will be Jake Elon. Those who know him will surely recognize him from Forbes Magazine as one of the most influential individuals. With him at the company’s helm, we will surely see significant strides in the thriving Conglomerate worldwide.” The commentator stated. “Here are a few words from the new CEO of Elon Conglomerate.”“I’m pleased to announce my position as the new acting CEO official of Elon Conglomerate, with a new restructuring within the company. We will surely increase our interest. Thank you, that will be all.” Jake said behind a podium addressing the masses, and walked away.“They must be in shortage of news. They played this a few days ago. Have you gotten in touch with him since he took over?” Sylvia asked, looking at Blake eating.“No need at this time. Let him get his footing for now. I’ll visit later when I visit my friend and see his progress. We have three more weeks until th
“Maybe, I’m at the second cycle of restructuring my body, and I would have only needed another year’s time with Tabby to cultivate the sixth realm and enter the third and final cycle. How are you two doing in condensing your golden cores?” “With the restricted amount of Qi entering my body, it’s been slow, but I also haven’t had the chance to cultivate with work,” Sylvia stated. “Same for me. With exams and studying, I haven’t been able to find the time.” Tabitha said, allowing her Qi to enter Blake. “We will need to enter the small world and condense your golden cores, then have your tribulations so you can contain the excessive Qi for a longer duration. Also, you can live longer after that step. I would say close to five to eight hundred years, give or take.” “Blake, after you finish your cultivation on the body, how long will you be able to live?” Sylvia asked. “As long as I finish the nine life destruction process, I’ll have approximately a thousand to three thousand years lif
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
