The two men countered each other’s moves. All Blake wanted to see was how durable Daren had become and if his training with the baths and exercises improved his old buddy. Hellen watched as the two men fought on equal terms and were astonished at how much Daren could last against a powerhouse like Blake. Her feelings for Daren grew every time he laid a hit on Blake. Who wouldn’t want her man to be able to protect her when she needed it the most?Daren began to get quicker as the fight grew on; instead of losing to fatigue, it seemed he was gaining strength and stamina. The more he landed his punches on Blake, the more energized he became. Blake, not wanting to hurt his friend, only used less than one percent of his power and continued to block the punches. This was a friendly match, after all.“How do you feel?” Blake asked as they went close to one another.“Great, I’m not consuming hardly any energy, and my movements seem to flow smoothly. I should be breathless now, but I’m barely
Claire was shocked by the accusation and hurried into the building before the crowd became more unruly due to the outcry. She had witnessed firsthand how a crowd of crazed sick fans can become mindless and cause more problems. In the lobby, she was met with Salone and her assistant, Juliett Howard.“What’s the status, and why are Leon’s fans at the gate?” Claire asked, heading to the elevator and choosing her destination to the CEO’s office using her entrance card.“It was rumored Leon Jone’s contract is coming due, and he is demanding a renewal,” Salone said, keeping up with her.“What’s the problem? I thought he was a star and making money for the company. See to it that he gets what he wants within reason and has the fans leave with a good repertoire.” Claire announced as she entered her assistant’s office.“Morning, boss.” Gloria Frost said and handed her her coffee and tablet with her schedule.“The trouble lies with what he is demanding,” Salone replied. Stopping Claire in her t
“Mr. Jones, why do I have the honor of you calling me?” The person on the other side asked with a giggle.“I have a job for you. I want you to come to Dynamic Entertainment and capture someone.” Leon stated.“Capture? Now, Mr. Jones, I’m a businessman, not into kidnapping. That life has been long gone. Too many problems if you get my meaning.” The man stated.“What will it take?” Leon asked, getting frustrated.“Depends on the target; who do you want to invite?”“Mrs. Claire Elon, the CEO, and if you can, Salone Weston, the COO of the company,” Leon explained. If he was going this far, he might as well go all the way.There was a long whistle on the other end when the voice became severe. “ One hundred million for the two women.” Was the reply.“Ah, a hundred million? Are you out of your mind? Way too much, twenty million.” Leon stated.“No can do, Mr. Jones, the last name alone can’t be compared to the troubles I will get into if found out, not to mention the security around those tw
The two women became worried about this person’s words. Claire only frowned, it would be easy for her to rescue themselves, but she wanted to see who was the mastermind and what they wanted from her. ‘Was it to threaten Blake? It was only this morning Sara was abducted, and now she. Were they so easily used? We need to get stronger and not burden my husband.’Blake arrived at the entrance of Dynamic Entertainment and spoke to the guards. They told him the limousine had already departed when a man Blake recognized in a chauffeur’s uniform came staggering out of a corner, to the guards’ surprise.“Charlie! Are you alright?” Blake was the first beside him and used his Devine Qi to quickly check his minor injury to the back of his neck.“Mr. Elon, Young Missus. was taken away. I was knocked out, and they took my hat and keys. Please, you have to save Young Missus.” Charlie pleaded. Claire was the only one he liked for her kindness, and she would talk to him to pass the time while he drove
“Mrs. Elon, please instruct us in what you will have done to the Jones family?” The man in the black suit asked.“Nothing, for now, I can handle the Father and Son. You will report to Peach Blossom Estates at this address. The guards at the gate will guide you first thing Monday morning.” Claire said and handed them a card with the address.“Joseph and Leon, who were the two that captured us? They don’t seem to be part of your bodyguards?” Claire asked.“No, they are part of the underworld, Mr. Matias Rodrigues. It cost a hundred million to capture the two of you. He’s a bloodsucker for money and has no scruples. He would sell his own family for the right price.” Larence said, saddened that he had spent so much money to have his planes ruined.“What about The Syrum Syndicate? Does he have anything involvement with them?” Claire asked to clarify. The Syrum Syndicate had to do with Dynasty Syrum, and she didn’t want to put a wedge between them.“No, they are from the border Cartel and
Mr. Rodrigues, on the other line, was startled by the reply and hung his phone up quickly. Cold sweat formed on his brow, knowing he had kicked a steel plate with the identity of that family.“Call for my driver. I’m going to Fairview restaurant.” Mr. Rodrigues stated.Blake and Claire bid farewell to Salone and Gloria as they entered the limousine with the new driver and the two men in the truck.“So, it was a disgruntled employee, a singer, that kidnapped you?” Blake asked, hearing the details from Claire.“Yes, the Jones family is too despicable. I had them go to the police and turn themselves in. I fear the reputation of the company will receive a severe blow. I can’t believe they spent a hundred million on capturing us.” Claire stated as she lay on Blake’s chest as they rode to the restaurant.“We’ll have to get the divorce finalized after tomorrow. Also, we will need to go to the venue where the fashion show is being held so you can practice your modeling walk later this evening
Blake and Claire left the restaurant and entered the limousine. Blake gave directions to the venue where the celebration was to happen and the fashion show was to be performed.“I believe Chive will be happy with our gift,” Claire said, laying on Blake.“Expanding the underground will benefit him and Sharon now that they are a couple,” Blake said, smoothing her hair to comfort her.“Dear, are you disappointed in not getting our divorce finalized?” Claire asked sudennly.“No, I don’t want it to happen at all, but with the contract, it has become inevitable,” Blake said, lowering to kiss her.“Yes, and Sara has gone through a lot lately. I want her to have the wedding she always wanted and give birth to the family’s heir.” Claire said after they parted from their kiss. “She is a sister, after all.”They arrived at the venue that Chive had told Blake. It was a significant one-story building with large glass entrances. The Conex building was the place’s name and could accommodate thousand
Dynasty rose from her chair, spread out her arms, hugged Blake, and sat back down, continuing to prepare for the fashion rehearsal.“I’ll see you outside then,” Blake said, leaving the room but not before seeing Claire give him a wink that made him blush. He was too blessed to have Claire as his wife.Blake exited the private room only to hear other models complaining in the background.“Why did they have to have a private room? Are we not good enough?” One of the fashion models with red hair asked another.“I know. I have been in the fashion business for five years and have never seen so many nubies get such treatment.” The other black-haired woman stated.“Hey, I heard that the international model, Miss. Estin will also be modeling for Stone Fashions. I can’t wait to meet her.” One of the blond models said with a fan-girl sigh.“Really? I wonder how she will take it if she is not treated well. I heard she has a firey temper as well.” The red-haired model stated.“Look, there she is.
While the adults were discussing the situation, Blake Jr. and Gloria traveled along the shadows with Blake’s powerful Darkness Law and headed to the isolated room holding Olivia. When they arrived at the door, one could see that there were many runes and symbols on the door protecting it.“When did the church have such an array?” Blake Jr. asked, only to have Gloria shake her head in response.Behind the door lay Olivia, waking up from the chloroform given to her to make her come with the men more easily. When she awoke, her head hurt, and she dizzily swayed when she rose.“Ah, you are awake.” A familiar voice came that made her turn her head too quickly. To see Jerold sitting there patiently.“Ow, Jerold, have we been kidnapped?” Olivia asked, holding her head.“No, not really. My Father wants to meet with your Father to discuss some things, and we are here to wait.” Jerold said, looking like he was excited to be with Olivia.“Jerold, that is kidnapping. Your Father will be in troubl
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
