“Mr. Elon, they did, only____ it was in the dark. I was the one who strategically planned the business model they were working on, but I was not given credit due to the position I held within the family. That was why grandfather was adamant and didn’t want me to leave the Carlson family; no one else is capable.” Mr. Ross explained.“Uhun. Yes, I can see why he wouldn’t want to lose you. Honors in business academics when you were in college and have a bachelor’s degree in management.” Blake praised the man. “You will do. Miss. Writtle here will bring you to H. R. and have the proper paperwork done for you to sign and meet me back here. Let me be the first to welcome you to Elon Trust CEO Ross.” Blake said, smiling at the surprised look on Kevin’s face, and Susan looked startled at Blake as if she had heard the worst news in her life.“Mr. Elon, I….”“No use thanking me. You are the perfect candidate to replace me while I am gone, and I am confident you will bring great things into the
“Miss. Writtle. We meet again.” Daren said, reaching out to her hand, kissing it, and giving Blake a sour look.“What’s with this look? Did I wrong you?” Blake asked, taking a sip from his coffee.“Wrong me? Do you get this ass hole? First, he gave me an extreme regiment to follow, and for the first time in my life, I was in so much pain that I didn’t know what to do with myself. Then on top of all that, haven’t even called to see how I am doing all these days.” Daren said, looking at Susan, explaining his hostility towards Blake.“Well, you look better than you did when we first met. Here I have something for you. Get these herbs and soak with them in a hot bath. Follow the prescription to a tee, don’t scrimp on the herbs, and don’t place more than needed. This is a potent body-building soak.” Blake explained to Daren, placing the note into his hand. “I mean it, and this will temper your body; it’s very potent,” Blake warned.Daren looked at the list of ingredients and frowned. Where
Jake looked at the stock market results and frowned. Blake was right in his assumption; yesterday’s attack only tested the waters, and a full-on assault was in play. His best team was on the defensive for most of the morning as the stocks were being shorted, and the rebound of their actions was a daisy chain of events. More investors were getting on the bandwagon, attacking Elon Conglomerate’s stocks and giving Jake and his crew a run for their money. They had already lost three billion trying to keep their stocks afloat, so they would not drop below the market value.“See to it that we don’t fail. I do not want to see a decline when the markets close today. If it’s a money war they want, we will provide.” Jake said, walking out of the battle room.Reaching his office, he slumped onto his chair, wiping the sweat off his brow. They had lost so much in this battle, and it was only the beginning. There was a knocking at his door, and he replied for the person to enter. Fred Wilks entered
“Hit them. Strike them. Tomorrow we will branch out the attack to the companies Elon has invested in.” Daren Killinger yelled at his team before leaving the room.Arriving in his office, Daren Killinger called for his associate and asked his question when he had arrived.“Has it been taken cared of?”“Yes, they are in the interrogation room as we speak.”“Good. Let them sweat it out for a while before we question them.”Jake looked at the stocks at the closing of the day. The attack happened right before the bell sounded for the end of trading. The sudden shorting of stocks was too much, and the team could not counter in time and dropped the stock below the market. It was causing a frenzy in social media and financial news networks.“In today’s financial market, the ever-growing Elon Conglomerate stock had been battling a war for its very survival. The company was hit a massive blow in the last call of the bell, lowering their stocks below the market. If the company can’t make a comeb
The scene occurred in a car dealership with new make and model cars. The women were the buyers and brought out the exceptional craftsmanship of the vehicle and the affordable pricing. When the scene was over, the director was delighted with the outcome. This performance only took one take, and it was a wrap for the day’s work of his crew. When the red light for filming was extinguished, the door to the studio was abruptly opened, and Henry entered with Samantha by his side. Even Henry had to follow the rules about when filming was being taken place in the company, or he would suffer the high fine his grandfather had issued if the set was interrupted.“Where do you think you are all going?” Henry called out.“Mr. Weston, we are wrapping up.” The assistant to the director explained.“Nonsense, who told you to wrap up when the star of the commercial hadn’t arrived yet? Do you think amateurs can compete with a veteran?” Henry called out, smiling at Samantha.“Henry, what is the meaning of
Claire looked at her, smiled, took the check, and placed it in her purse. Unknown to them, Claire had secretly let out her aura and would play with these people to vent her anger with the family who thought of hurting her grandfather.“Let’s go have lunch.” Claire suddenly said and placed her purse over her shoulder.Julia only nodded like a little schoolgirl, not knowing she was becoming under Claire’s influence. The two men also became aware of how beautiful Claire was and only stared dumbfoundedly until they were awakened from their trance by Julia’s abrupt hitting the back of their heads for them to leave.Claire and Julia left the company under the scrutiny eye of Samantha Kingsly and frowned. ‘Were they not enemies? Why are they leaving like they are sisters? I need to report this to Steven.’“I’m disappointed in your judgment on interfering with your cousin’s project. Is this the teachings of a father to son?” George asked in the room, overlooking the father and son.Henry hear
The waiter left the area in a frantic panic. This was the first time he had been found out, and he didn’t want his reputation to be tarnished like this, but he had the strangest feeling whenever he thought about this woman that was his target and would look at the hand that she touched. Hours after his debacle, he was in his hotel room looking at his hand. The feeling it gave was becoming more assertive. He needed to seek her out and____and____ what was he supposed to do? There was a knocking on his door. He rose from his bed and answered, seeing a beautiful woman with flowing blond hair and deep blue eyes staring at him. He bowed out of instinct and waved her in.Claire entered the room without fear and looked around. It was apparent he had been living here for a while. She turned her attention to the waiter when he closed the door and began her interrogation.“Who sent you?” Claire asked the first question.“I’m under contract with Global Entertainment and get my orders directly fro
‘He was the one who caused troubles for Blake that night and now for myself. If I don’t take care of this, who knows what troubles we will have in the future?’Claire then took out her phone and called the restaurant when the maître d’ answered, expecting a reservation to be arranged.“Shangri-la, how may I help you?”“I’m Claire Elon—your boss’s wife. I had a guest there earlier and asked for a private area. Do you remember?” Claire said as Henry’s eyes widened with shock hearing the owner of the famous restaurant belonged to Blake.“Y_Yes, mam. I do recall. A disturbance had occurred with one of our new recruits.”“Yes, that did occur, but it has also been brought to my attention that you released my whereabouts to the online streaming of one Samantha Kingsly,” Claire said, looking directly at Samantha. Making her gain a cold sweat along her back.“Ye_Yes, mam. I did. Is there a problem?” The maître d’ stammered feeling he was in trouble.“When I instruct privacy to be conducted, I
Blake followed behind with the children, Consuela and Michael, as Reverend Fengway began his speech on what the church did for the community and the city.“The Lord works in mysterious ways.” Reverend Fengway said when they stopped under a rather large cross depicting Jesus’s crucifixion.The room was only lit by dim lighting, and unknown to Reverend Fengway, this was Blake Jr’s chance. Taking Gloria in his arms, he melded into the shadows.“How so?” Asked Blake, looking at Reverend Fengway; he suddenly felt an ominous presence. “Consuela, take the children back to the car.”Before they could move, the room became bright. As bright as the sum when a person began to descend in front of the group.Michael looked on and saw who was arriving, and he sneered in discontent. How could he not recognize the angel arriving? His arch-rival within the dimension Heaven.“Archangel Ezekiel, it’s been a while.” Michael’s voice came before the light dissipated.There before them was a tall man seven
Blake and Michael were on their way to the Ministry of the Church when the revelation that Consuela was with the children was heading there to meet with him.“Damn, I forgot about the children,” Blake muttered to himself.Feeling that they could take care of themselves, he didn’t share Claire’s worry and knew of Consuela’s strength.“Michael, when we get there, watch over the children as well,” Blake said.Michael looked at Blake in the back of the car with surprise.“Your children will be there as well?” Michael asked.He had little time to know the children and didn’t know their powers.“This will be a training lesson for them,” Blake replied and left it like that.‘A training lesson? Who sends their children into a battle as a training lesson?’ Michael thought to himself.Not long after, they arrived at their destination and parked alongside Consuela, who was waiting outside the car with the children inside, anxiously wanting to help. Blake exited the car and met with Consuela.“Yo
When the rest of the children left, only Blake was in his seat, and Miss. Price was behind her desk looking at the work they had submitted for the day. Blake patiently waited while Miss. Price looked over some of the work, then placed the papers down and looked at the youth in front of her sternly.“Blake, Elon.” Miss. Price said rather coldly.“Yes. Miss. Price?” Blake asked.“It’s come to my attention that you are to commence in a fight after school?”“No, Miss. Price.” Blake replied, making her eye twitch that he would lie in front of her so blatantly.“Are you lying? It’s been traveling in the school that Jerold has challenged you behind the gym. Are you denying this?” Miss. Price asked.“No. Miss Price. It’s as it’s been said. Jerold does want to fight behind the gym.” Blake said.“Then why lie and tell me no when I asked you.” Miss Price asked, flustered over the conversation.“I replied to your question about whether I was going to fight. I replied no because I had no intention
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
