“Well, I’m sure you will make an outstanding contribution to the city,” Jaden said, holding his glass to Blake. Blake reciprocated with a nod.“With Lady Bruma Joselin as my adviser, I’m sure I will.” Blake retorted back.Shock was seen on everyone’s faces. Did he say Lady Bruma Joselin was his adviser? Was she not the daughter of Master Bruma of the Merchant’s Guild?“Cough, did you say that Master Bruma’s daughter is your adviser?” The same man who had spoken up before asked.“Yes, Lady Bruma Joselin is my adviser and a liaison to the Merchant Guild. When my shop opens in the near future, I hope you will help guide me as well.” Blake said with a smile.There was uneasiness across the room upon hearing that Lady Bruma Joselin was handling Blake’s shops within the city. They thought that a fat goose was here to be plucked but to go against the Merchant Guild’s liaison and Daughter to Master Bruma, who could afford it. How could Blake not see through their tricks, so he decided to stop
An unmarked police vehicle pulled up to Peach Blossom Estates. A young, tall woman with brown hair and a slender, muscular body, blue eyes, and c-cup breasts exited the vehicle wearing a short black dress that clung to every curve of her body. This was Jill Percy arriving for her date with Blake. Upon arriving at the entrance, she pressed the doorbell consecutively a few times in frustration. When the maid opened the door, she barged into the home.“Where is he? Is he ready?” Jill asked, a bit impatient.“Who, mam?” The maid asked.“Blake, he was supposed to meet with me and he is late,” Jill said.Soon, Tbaitha shuffled out of the living room to see what the commotion was about.“Oh, Detective Percy. What brings you here?” Tabitha asked, seeing the frustrated woman.“Blake was supposed to arrive for our date tonight, but I was stood up.” Jill anounced.“Oh dear, Blake is off-world,” Tabitha said.“What is that supposed to mean?” Jill asked curiously.“Seeing that you are practically
“I’ve been in touch with the college, and I already passed all my classes and Internship that they had assigned. All there is to do is wait for the ceremony next month, but with the condition I’m in, I may have to skip.” Tabitha said saddly.“Nonsense, all we have to do is go into the Small World and have the babies. By the time we arrive back, we will be back to our regular gorgeous selves.” Tabby replied.“Small World?” Jill asked, hearing their conversation.“Yes, it’s a world that Blake controls. The time difference if one day here equals one year there.” Tabby explained.“Then wouldn’t it be better to go there and begin my cultivation?” Jill asked.“It would if you didn’t want to explode, or is it implode? Well, one of the two will happen if you don’t create your dantian first, and even then, the Spirit Qi gets a bit funky when you first arrive.” Tabby explained to the shock and horror from Jill’s side.“You say it so casually. Has any accidents happened before?” Jill asked, look
Jill continued with her cultivation and allowed more Spirit Qi to enter her body, and she felt within her abdomen a condensed measure of energy. She felt that it was pretty full, and she compressed it there, finally forming her dantian. It seemed pretty straightforward and she wondered why she never did such a thing before? Slowing the amount of Spirit Qi entering her body, she finally opened her eyes to see the sun had already risen and her perception of the world had changed. She felt more alive, and all her senses were enhanced. Even her thought process had changed, and she could think with more clarity.Jill rose from her position and looked around. The morning dew was around her, but nowhere on her body was it found. She was dry and felt a powerful aura around her, protecting her. Although she was awake all night, she felt more energetic than she had ever felt before, like she was very well rested.“How do you feel?” Suddenly, a voice came out from a nearby tree.“Tabby, were you
“A few hundred? What are we to do?” With Gary included he had only brought thirty men for escorting and hadn’t expected a hundred enemies on the trail between Fargone City and the Chai estate.“Welcome our guests, of course. Do as they instruct, and at the right moment, I will act,” Blake replied with a smile, walked towards the carriage, and then disappeared from sight.Hearing this from Blake and seeing him disappear made everyone shocked.“You heard Master Blake, we proceed but with caution,” Gary said and motioned for Ye Chen and Su Yuhan to continue through the pass. He also stayed with them to protect them if any mishaps would occur.Down the pass, the leader of the bandits looked at the wealthy party coming towards them. His source was correct in assuming they were of noble procession, and he was anxious to gather his loot from them. Seeing them stopping and discussing the narrow pass, he wondered if his men had been spotted, but knowing the divine weapon he held to mask all th
Xuanlu looked around at the situation and sighed deeply.“How much longer are you going to wait? When are you going to take action already? We have been delayed for so long, and I’m hungry.” Xuanlu said in a disheartened tone, and to prove her condition, her stomach growled.Soon there was laughter from the void as a voice then came following.“My dear wife, I’m sorry. I’ll take action immediately.”The leader’s eyes widened, and he looked around, only not to find the source of the voice.“Who’s there? Show yourself!” The leader called out, taking his sword out, becoming alerted.“Talking for so long and divulging the true person behind all of this is truly helpful. For that, I will leave you with an intact body,” Blake said and suddenly appeared before the leader.The leader’s eyes contracted. Was this not too fast? Was he not escaping and leaving them to their demise?“Attack!” The leader called out.But to his horror, no one moved. Out of all his men, they seemed to have become sta
Blake appeared into the carriage as the women were enjoying their meal.“Is it finished?” Xuanlu asked as she took a bite of her chicken leg.“Yes, and it was a ploy from the First Elder of the Chai family,” Blake said as he eased into his seat.“What?” Xuanlu exclaimed.“The Garrison family were ordered by the First Elder to detain you and kill me. It would seem the First Elder found out that Heise Shensheng had failed and coerced the Garrison family to this end.” Blake explained.“I see. What of Steve?” Xuanlu asked.“He wants you to know he is sorry for his actions and is worried for your friendship,” Blake replied.“I knew there had to be an explanation for his actions. I’m upset over it, but I understand their reasoning, the First Elder’s power within the family is only second to Grandfather’s.” Xuanlu said, looking into the void.“Don’t worry so much, I’m here, and nothing will happen to you,” Blake said confidently.“Oh, I know, I’m not worried about us but them. With all that
“Father Azrael, when did you arrive?” Sister Terrie exclaimed, seeing the Priest there.“Only just,” Azrael said, walking into the room. As he looked at the estate, he asked Sister Melisa about it. “Where did they go?”“The woman hurriedly went into that locked door; why? Does it lead somewhere?” Siter Melisa asked, confused over Father Azrael’s interest in the door.“Curiouser and curiouser. Keep me informed when they exit the door.” Father Azrael said and left the two confused women.There was a loud knocking on a door in a lavish home, and the young maid seemed to have been in a panic as she repeatedly knocked. When the door opened, Goddess Roseline seemed agitated over the consecutive knocks.“What? I told everyone I was not to be disturbed.” Roseline said with a tart expression.“Pardon the interruption, but there has been a disturbance within the Tribulation Formation.” The maid said, feeling flustered about giving the Goddess this information.“Well, someone from the lower real
