“You know you have it,” Blake said without thinking.“No, no, no. Blake, I need your trust in what I’m about to say. So don’t agree so easily because this is very hard for me.” Claire said and turned so she wouldn’t face him.“Certain situations have happened that have made me realize we don’t have all the time in the world like we usually do.” Claire began.“Sure we do. You will have thousands of years to live when you and the girls finish training.” Blake interrupted.“Yes, I know, unless accidents occur. But even then, what will we do during those thousands of years? It’s almost like we will be immortal, only relying on ourselves for comfort and company during the extended time.” Claire said with her head down.“So, what do you want? To stop training and stay mortal? Grow old and leave this plane of existence?” Blake asked.“No, I want to be with you. But also, I want to be with my sisters, and I want to love my sisters. Blake, do you understand what I’m trying to say? I betrayed y
“Welcome. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. Come and have a seat. You all know my sister Tabby.”“Hello, Betty and Carol, am I right?” Tabby asked from the kitchen.“Yes, and you are Tabitha? Betty asked, wearing the yellow dress.Tabby only smiled.“Well, the aroma is divine; steaks I smell?” Carol asked, wearing the pink dress.“You’re right. I felt simple and elegant for our first meal together.” Claire explained.The two ladies nodded in agreement and sat on the couch. Just then, one of the babies started crying.“Excuse me. A mother’s work is never done.” Claire said, smiling, and went to check on the babies.“Can we tag along?” Betty asked.“Sure, let Tabby finish, and you can give me a hand if you like,” Claire responded as Tabby stuck out her tongue to her in jest.They entered the nursery as Lacey was the one who needed changing and was crying for her mother’s attention. Claire began her changing as the two sisters looked on with wonder.“This is Lacey; she is the cranky
As Blake was returning to the estate, his phone rang. Seeing it was Claire, he quickly answered.“Hello?”“Blake Elon, if you don’t show up in the next few minutes, you can forget about our playtime when you return! I am in the suite,” Claire yelled, to the astonishment of Carol and Betty. Wasn’t Blake in the Capital? How on earth was he to appear here in the next few minutes? To their surprise, Claire was still talking on the phone, actually giving a counting to Blake.“1_2_3_4_5_6.”Hearing the urgency of Claire’s call, Blake quickly transferred himself directly into his Suite, astonished that Carol and Betty were also there.“What the hell? All three simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.Betty and Carol witnessed Blake materialize in front of them, the most remarkable thing they had ever witnessed. Blake looked at Claire as she hung up her phone and walked seductively to Blake.“Thank you, dear, for coming so urgently. We are in the middle of discussing the approvals of two of your
“Have you read the documents?” Mr. Wheaton asked Kevin at the day’s end.“We have taken over Farndon Enterprises and blacklisted the Ross family’s other businesses. They are in a panic at this moment and will be bankrupt by tomorrow this time.” Kevin said, looking over the papers in front of him. The power behind Elon Trust is immense and daunting, and Blake gave it all to him to wield, bringing the Ross family to their knees.Kevin took out his old phone, looked at the number he claimed never to call, and dialed.There was a rasping voice at the other end of the phone.“Why have you called? We disowned you to your fate.” The voice said, dispirited.“I am well aware, grandfather, but I thought you would like to have an audience with the new CEO of Elon Trust to talk terms before your demise, seeing I am working now for the Elon family.” Kevin casually stated.“What? The Elon family? What of the Carlson family? How did this happen?” Kevin’s grandfather asked, not knowing the details.“
“Don’t act so precarious with us, Mr. Elon. You don’t know the trouble we can cause you and your family.” Daren stated.“You were the obnoxious person on the phone this morning,” Blake said, looking at Daren. “Did I wrong you in another life?”“It’s people like yourself who think you are better than the rest of us, with your wealth and prestige. How could a family like Elon become more critical than the bureaucracy of the Organization? How dare a meer ant to have the audacity to call himself a Saint? What person as young as you are to think you have the power of the Heavens and Earth at your becking call? At most, you have the power of a Master if you actually obtained such power. How can you think you could be more than me, a GrandMaster at your age?” Daren stated.“Now I get it. You’re jealous of my accomplishments. If you can’t be a Saint, then no one can. I hurt your ego.” Blake said and began to laugh at Daren.“HOW DARE YOU!” Daren yelled and released his GrandMaster aura into t
“I’ll have to convene with the supervisors and inform them of your final terms. When we return, I’ll have the assaults disbanded and publicly apologize for the harassment Elon Conglomerate was receiving.” Mr. Golder stated as sweat came to his brow.“That’s all I wish to hear,” Blake said, and the environment returned to the conference room. The two men were still unconscious as if they had never left.“Daren, call everyone and withdraw our attacks.” Mr. Golder said, looking at the disarrayed man beside him.Following his supervisor’s advice, the assault on Elon Conglomerate was put to an end. Blake looked at Sam and Eric and released some Qi into them to help them recover. When the two men awoke, they saw Daren in dirty clothing and Mr. Golder pale and sweaty. Not knowing what had happened, they looked towards Blake with confused expressions, only to see him with no expression.“If this will be all, I’ll take my leave. Contact me when you have arranged the meeting with your superiors
When the documents were signed, he handed back the tablet. “That will be all.”She left the office and returned to her desk, and the day went by with no problems. Seeing it getting close to lunch, she knocked on the CEO’s door to see him immersed in his computer.“Sir, it’s lunchtime. Would you like me to bring you something from the cafeteria?” Saline asked, smiling.“A turkey on rye and water will do,” Kevin replied, not taking his head from the screen.Saline left him to his work and went to the cafeteria to gather her and her boss’s meal.When Saline left the room, Kevin’s phone erupted in rings. Not paying attention, he answered to a noisy background making it hard to hear the other person.“I’m sorry, but I can’t hear you,” Kevin said directly.“What about now, you ungrateful son of a bitch?” Kevin’s grandfather asked.“With an attitude like that, it’s a wonder the Ross family is becoming bankrupt. Is that the bank foreclosing on the estate?” Kevin asked. It was why he was on th
“Well, well, hasn’t the Ross family fallen,” Sylvia stated when she noticed Yonda.“Sylvia? What are you doing here?” Yonda asked surprisingly.“I should be asking you that same question, seeing I work here,” Sylvia replied, eyeing the woman. They were always on opposing sides when meeting at clubs or galas.“I’m here with my grandfather to see the CEO and try to quell the misunderstanding between the Ross and Elon families,” Yonda explained, feeling slightly underdressed in Sylvia’s presence.“From my understanding, it derived from your cousin James Ross. When he went to propose to Claire Elon, the wife of the head of the Elon family, you can now see where this will lead, don’t you?” Sylvia stated with her arms crossed, loving the awkward position Yonda was in.Both grandfather and granddaughter frowned when they heard the news. They didn’t know the details and thought it was a small matter of Kevin leaving the Carlson family and entering the Elon family for revenge. Hearing that the
