“And I you. How far are you along? I lost count.” Claire said, looking at her at arm’s length.“I’m seven months this month, and so is Tabby,” Tabitha replied, smiling and wiping a tear.“Where is Tabby?” Claire looked around, not seeing her around, only to find a car arriving and pulling up to the crowd.“Could someone tell me what the hell is going on here? The dam road was blocked, and I couldn’t get back home! And I need to go and pee!” Tabby called out as she got out of the car, only to stop in her tracks when her gaze came across Claire.“Claire, you’re back!” Tabby called out and, as fast as she could, made her way into her arms when Claire met her halfway and quickly hugged her.“Maybe we should take this inside?” Blake said only after they finished with their hugg did he voice his suggestion.“Blake, you’re back also?” Tabby asked. He hugged her as well and then led them all inside, with Tabby taking a detour to the restroom.The maid held her head low as they passed her, fee
The scream was not so much of being startled more than that madam had told her never to get the water on her skin or she would die like the Master.“No, no. I need to get the antidote.” The maid said, trying to open the door, ignoring that there was a man in the secured room with her.Blake made his way to the water and observed the contents that were inside. The poison was a rare and highly complex mixture. It could be digested, breathed in, or absorbed through the skin, a very efficient poison of assassination, leaving no trace of usage.Blake looked at the struggling maid as she tried desperately to open the door, but he had already placed a sound-dampening barrier over the entire room so no one could hear them inside, enter, or exit the room.“There is no antidote for this type of poison,” Blake said, stopping the maid in her efforts.The maid looked at Blake like she was looking at the devil himself; total terror was seen on her face. This was the Young Master who was supposed to
“Care to explain the meaning that I’m laying there on the bed, and I’m here talking to you?” Robert asked, confused about what he was witnessing.“It’s an illusion array that will be needed if we are to gather evidence against our enemies,” Blake said, looking at his handy work. He was proud of his accomplishment in this deception, and it was almost as good as the wedding illusion.Robert looked at the scene before him and then at Blake and back to the scene. He walked up to himself and, poked the old man in the bed and then looked back at Blake.“It’s so real,” Robert exclaimed.Blake nodded and smiled. “You should have been there for the wedding. I turned a pig into a woman for a prince to marry when he had eyes for Claire in the Inner World.” Blake boasted.Robert’s eyes widened and then relaxed. “ True to my Grandson, I pity our enemies.”“Don’t pity them too much. They are the ones trying to kill us.” Blake said with an indifferent look suddenly. “ I just don’t know why Clarice d
“No, he is the same as always,” Clarice said, seeing the filial piety of her son to his Grandfather and tightly grasping the poison in her pocket as to protect her secret from her son.Jake stayed with his Grandfather for a few moments before he left his mother to tend to Robert. When he left, the concern she was showing for Jake’s sake disappeared and a contempt look came across.“Where is your Will, old man?” Clarice said through clenched teeth. “Your suffering would end swiftly if you had only placed it with your lawyer. Our scheme was almost ruined when you banished me from the family, but it seems God is helping me now that that trash Blake has died, leaving the family to Jake. Good thing the Organization came up with this poison; it’s helped greatly.” Clarice said, holding up the bottle from her pocket.“If I didn’t need you to still be alive for now, I would have used all of this in one go. Strange that you have hidden your Will. I can’t fake it until I find the original due to
“Claire, Elise. Is there anything I can do for you?” Blake asked, exiting the gym with a broad smile; how couldn’t he be happy knowing his children were working so hard to become stronger? He then kissed both on the cheek in greeting.“Just came to see what the kids were up to,” Claire responded, with Elise nodding.“Well, it’s getting late. Should we retire?” Blake asked, placing his hand around Claire’s hips in a seductive move.“Mother and Elise will be cultivating tonight, Father,” Elise stated, seeing that her Father wanted to go to bed with Claire. Still, they couldn’t allow Blake to take advantage of them again until after they reached the Empyrean realm.Blake’s indifferent look came to his face, and he nodded. He was disappointed that, again, he was not able to be with his wife, but he knew that only through hard work in their cultivation would they be able to handle any outcome that would befall them, so he had an understanding.“Do you need any help?” Blake asked with a hin
“I know he will not be in power after tomorrow, and I assure you he will regret what he said to you,” Blake said.Blake placed his hands on the lower side of Tabitha’s back, where the most strain was during her pregnancy. Even as a cultivator, the differences in stress on the body were still significant. Channeling his Divine Qi, he allowed her to feel the soothing sensation of the flow.“We normally massage ourselves before going to bed; why is it different with you?” Tabitha asked, feeling the sensations of being in a hot sauna, allowing her stress and fatigue to melt away.“I’m using the Devine Qi instead of the Spirit Qi, and it’s stronger and more refreshing. When you complete the pregnancy and begin to cultivate again and receive the Heavenly Tribulation, you will be able to create your own Divine Qi from the Spirit Qi around you.” Blake explained.When he was finished with Tabitha, he made his way to Tabby and did the same for her.“Blake, what are your views on having sex with
“Y_you were gone; I had to step up. Grandfather took ill, and I_I had to….” Jake was still shocked that his dead cousin was sitting before him and was still stammering.“Grandfather is fine,” Blake said, wanting to see Jake’s reaction. If he was a part of the scheme of his Mother, then heaven help the family.Jake’s reaction was of surprise and delight; even a hint of relief was noticed by Blake, then confusion. It was apparent to Blake that Jake was clueless about his Mother’s actions towards their Grandfather.“Grandfather is fine? I only saw him this morning, and he was on death’s bed.” Jake said, remembering the frail old man.“There is no need for worry; Grandfather is fine, in fact, more than fine for the moment,” Blake said to relieve Jake’s worry.Jake sat at his desk due to the shock, and his legs couldn’t support his weight any longer. He was silent, and when he spoke to Blake, he did it with sincerity.“Blake, concerning my pursuit of Tabitha. My intentions were only to pro
The president was looking over the report that came this morning from the raid last night and frowned. Blake Elon had intercepted the raid and saved Sylvia. Was he not killed in the explosion? It was at this moment a report that a disturbance happened at Elon Conglomerate, where an evacuation of the facility had to take place. When the information that the current CEO was unharmed, he sighed; this was a part of their rule in the world as Elon held more power than he had even fathomed and only had a few cards in his hands to keep them in check.“WEEA WEEA WEEA!”“What is happening?” Mr. Herbert Marcello called out on his intercom.“A breach in the detention area!” Another subordinate said on the other end.“Patch it to me,” Herbert said, and the screen on one of his hidden monitors came up.There in the detention room that held Blake before was Blake sitting calmly with his eyes closed and his feet propped up on the table with his hands behind his head leisurely resting.A cold sweat f
