“Welcome, my future wife. Where is this betrothed for whom I’ve challenged? All I see are beautiful women. Is he one of them in disguise? Ha, ha.” The young man in the auditorium laughed hard over his own joke.“He will arrive in due time. Only those who have the prestige and power call when and where to arrive, not by others.” Xuanlu, using the same technique as the young man informed the crowd.Arrogance, pure arrogance, was heard by Chai Xuanlu about her betrothed. How could he make the Magistrate wait for his arrival? This sent the masses to a tensy and many were wondering if he would actually arrive.The young man then looked at the audience. He had them eating out of his hands, but from one sentence from Chai Xuanlu, they were all talking about her betrothed. This angered the man extensively, and, with fists, clinched, called out.“IF YOU ARE A MAN, COME AND FIGHT ME! UNLESS YOU ARE TOO SPINELESS FOR THE CHALLENGE!”“Those who yell the most are the ones who have no self-confiden
All of a sudden, Blake released his cultivation aura. It was like an explosion hitting the Magistrate head-on. It embodied the whole city, not only the arena; those with weak cultivation aptitude fainted on the spot, while others found it hard to breathe. The young Magistrate’s eyes widened, and total shock was seen on his face as the closer Blake walked to him, the stronger the pressure was felt.Master Bruma instantly tried to cover his daughter with this aura, who was not a practitioner of the cultivation realm, to protect her. Still, to his surprise, she was not affected by the powerful cultivation of Blake’s aura. Showing that Blake had great control over who and who shouldn’t be affected. Ordinary people were not feeling the strong force Blake was emmiting. Causing some to wonder why most of the people were unconscious or struggling to even stand or sit.“You, you. What realm are you in? I’ve never felt such pressure.” The young Magistrate asked in fear as his legs weakened and
Master Bruma and Josephine were led to a guest holding area where they were given whatever they desired. Fruits were displayed, and many fine wines were served. All these dishes were accustomed to the Inner World. Soon, there was more, and to their surprise, sizzling meats with an aroma that tantalized their noses and pallets were placed before them.Vegetables prepared were also before them with ham and beef with mouth-watering alure. Not containing themselves, Master Bruma and Josephine began to eat to their content. The spices and flavors were unmatched, and being a businessman, he saw great profit if he could sell these items.“Please, try this new wine brought from abroad.” One of the servants said, changing out the plain wine in Master Bruma’s cup to another along with Josephine’s.When taking a sip both their eyes widen in surprise. The full-bodied wine was rich in flavor with an intense power, leaving the mouth with a velvety feeling, bringing that one taste close to ecstasy c
Blake was silent, pondering the proposal. Soon, he sighed and nodded his approval, bringing Master Bruma’s anxiety in waiting to an end.“She will need to start by arranging a place for storage and selling of the goods here in the city. We will then be heading South for the Chai family, every city we encounter, she will need to do the same, and I will establish a trade formation within those cities as well for the Merchant Guild to utilize.” Blake said, looking at the two. “Is she prepared to travel?”“Yes, yes. She is willing, right dear?” Master Bruma asked, looking at the startled woman beside him.“Y____yes, what Father has said,” Josephine said with uncertainty, that this was still her Father.“Great, come. I will show you to the Formation.” Blake said, rising from his chair and heading to the courtyard where he laid the Trade Formation.True to his word, the Formation was small, but what shocked them was the high-grade DevineStones powering the Trade Formation.“It could be larg
Blake in Philadelphia arranged for a few items that had arrived in the warehouse to be delivered to the Inner World with a note telling Sylvia where to deliver the goods to Blake Prime, including the case of wine. Phil had decided to work for Blake and was entrusted with the secret of the Formation in the warehouse and how to utilize it, with the strict warning to never enter the Formation as it was a direct link to Empire City in the Inner World and an ordinary person like Phil would not be able to survive the trip.With all his dealings done there in Philadelphia, he and Susan returned to Califonia. They arrived at Peach Blossom Estates to meet with Carol and Betty about the situation over at the new Lotus Suites Hotel. The situation was becoming worse by the time they had arrived. Even the cleaning crews were delayed by unusual accidents occurring while taking care of the lobby that was ruined by the ice incident.When Blake and Susan walked into the home, Carol and Betty were disc
Blake headed to the southern part of the city every now and then, looking up as if he was following something.“Uhm, Blake what was that, that you did back there?” Betty asked curiously.“It was a tracking array. It’s tracking the item that is the Eye of the Formation. I’m following its trail now.” Blake explained.They continued and ended up at a large metal gate, where Blake stopped the Range Rover and looked up over the other side of the large rock fence. Behind the gate was a rather large home; its dilapidated condition seemed to have been abandoned.“The trail ends here to this place?” Susan asked, looking at the home.“It would seem so,” Blake said.“Uhm, guys, this is the address of Mrs. Susan Hemingway,” Carol said looking at the information she had on her phone.“Looks like there is a lot of explaining to be had,” Blake said and entered the area of the driveway before the metal gate and pressed the call button.“Yes?” A gentleman’s voice was heard over the speaker.“I’m Blake
Blake’s clone went to the auction house and delivered the Devine Stones as promised. The auction house didn’t disappoint; they began to advertise the auction that would begin within a week’s time. Blake left it for them, and the proceeds would be returned to the Chai residence for the startup of his business.With the demise of the Young Magistrate, the city’s officials elected a new person to take the mantle. He was a middle-aged man who had been taking care of all of the affairs for the previous Magistrate. Gathering a small group of guards, he made his way to the Chai residence and requested an audience with Master Elon. Blake granted entry and sat in the guest area, waiting to see how this Magistrate would handle himself.“Master Elon, first let me apologize for my predecessor’s rudeness on his behalf and of the city’s. The Guthrie City of the Central Provence would like to officially welcome you to our meager city.” The Magistrate said with an official tone.“Forget it; what is p
“Girls, we need to get back. It’s almost time for our appointment.” Blake said, looking at the three women shopping.Blake had taken Carol, Betty, and Susan to the shopping plaza to kill time until their appointed schedule with Mrs. Susan Hemingway.Blake brought the Range Rover over and they departed with the women carrying a few bags with them from their purchases. Blake made his way to the same metal gates they had come to earlier. Blake looked up and witnessed the same dark Qi entering the property. The eye of the Formation was definitely here. Pressing the call button again, the same rude voice came through.“Yes?”“I’m Blake Elon. I have an appointment to see Mrs. Susan Hemingway.” Blake said into the microphone. Without a response, the metal gates creaked and sputtered as they were opened to allow Blake entrance.Blake moved forward and entered the property. Looking around, it could be said that there was no gardener to uphold the lawn. It was as if no one was living on the pro
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
