With nothing they could do but lock up the building, Carol and Betty made their way to the real estate agency, where they could get into contact with the last owner, Mrs. Susan Hemingway.“You know, with everything Blake has gone through, do you think he also forgot that we were waiting on getting pregnant like Tabitha and Tabby?” Carol asked Betty as they drove to the real estate office.“With so much going on, it’s impossible that he remembers everything we discussed before Claire’s abduction,” Betty said, still concentrating on the road.“Sigh, yes, it’s been rough on Blake. He has already split himself into two to handle everything going on. Instead of placing another burden on him we need to work harder in our cultivation.” Carol said with certainty.Arriving at their destination, they both entered the building simultaneously, causing the workers to take notice of the two women. An assistant arrived before them and welcomed them.“Welcome. Are you looking for another building for
Tabitha let out a large sigh and rearranged her seat for the hundred times, It was becoming more uncomfortable as she was getting larger with the baby’s growth.“Where are those documents?” Mr. Pikes called out, walking towards Tabitha, who was trying to get into a comfortable position in her chair.“Right here, sir,” Tabitha said and handed the same documents he had handed her in the morning. Truthfully, she never reread them nor redo them. There was no need; they were done right the first time.“Very good; see to it that this doesn’t happen again.” Mr. Pikes said, going over the documents. And was satisfied with what he observed and quickly left Tabitha to her uncomfortable seating.Tabitha sighed again and began to get ready for the end of the work shift. All of a sudden, the baby within was protesting, and her little one began to kick up a storm. She had forgotten to eat lunch, and she smiled, placing her hand over her bulging belly.“Quiet, little one, we are going to go and get
“Maybe you should discuss this without the children around?” Danielle stated, looking at the children with stern eyes. She had been the nanny in charge of the children since they were babies. To her surprise, this family was never your average family. When Blake explained the situation to her, even though she was skeptical, there was no disputing the strange occurrences with the rapid growth of the children, but she accepted the outcome.“AWW.” The children protested.“Enough, behave, and eat your meals,” Consuela called out.The children were silent as they ate and behaved themselves, seeing the two most influential women in their lives had voiced their displeasure over their actions. Even though the women decided it was better to discuss this without the children involved. Some of their conversations spoke of their capability to see and hear the roaming spirits on Earth.“When I, Sylvia, and Blake went to his parent’s grave, we met with the old caretaker, and when I mean old, I mean
The two men looked at one another in disbelief. Two billion investment and a working factory? Were they dreaming? Who would even fathom such an outrageous condition?“Uhm, sir. What are you saying?” David asked with disbelief.“I’m willing to let you utilize a rather large spice factory and invest two billion into your product. Are you willing?” Blake asked, placing the tablet down for the men to see that there was a factory on the outskirts of Philidelphia being bought.For Blake, if they refused, he would only outright buy the recipe from the two and have others create the spice mix.“We will need a bit of time to discuss this. Please, if you don’t mind, David.” Hank said and rose from his seat and motioned for David to follow him out of the room.Taking this time that his Father left, David Jr. rushed to Blake and Susan.“Hey, fancy meeting you two here,” Blake said when Gladis and David walked up.“Sir, are you serious? Investing is such a product? There are millions on the market
“I believe you are acquainted with Phil Simon?” Blake asked suddenly.“I am; he and I met when I first arrived here in Philidelphia. He was the one who called to arrange this meeting.” Hank said, regaining his composure over what had taken place. “I will need to give him a commission for bringing you to us.”“No need. He will be working for me from now on.” Blake anounced. He was delighted with Phil’s performance so far. “If you need to get in contact over the delivery, he will be in charge.”“I understand,” Hank said.After a bit of arrangement of loose ends, Blake and Susan made their departure.“I didn’t know you hired Phil,” Susan said as they left the building.“I have, but he doesn’t know it yet,” Blake said with a chuckle.“Sir, Madam, please,” Phil said and opened the car door for them to enter.When everyone was seated, they disembarked from the area.“I hope the negotiations were pleasant,” Phil said, looking in the rearview mirror. He was hoping that his friend would benefi
Soon, there was a man with white and red flowing robes walking with two guards. He held a tablet with a quill. Showing an unappealing grin as he approached the carriage and attended people.“Miss. Chai Xuanlu, I presume?” The man asked with a knowing tone.“What is the meaning of this?” Xuanlu asked, pulling the notice off of her residence door and waving it in front of the man.“The taxes were not paid; it clearly states it in the notice, and the city has reclaimed its property.” The man said smugly.“Taxes? The taxes are not due until the end of next season. How could it be delayed?” Xuanlu asked, seeing a conspiracy happening here in the city.“The new Magistrate has issued a new tax law, and seeing no one from the Chai family available, has revoked your residence. He will be occupying it within a week’s time.” The tax collector stated with a smug look.“He will be taking up residence in my home?” Xuanlu asked with anger.“Correction, his home, you no longer own this property.” The
“Sylvia, the teleportation formation has been activated,” Hana called out, seeing the blue hue beginning to manifest. “What? Blake must have sent some of the supplies, but we are not ready.” Sylvia said, looking at the formation getting brighter.But instead of supplies a flavorful aroma escaped and captivated the two women.“Barbeque?” Sylvia asked, looking at the delicious foods before her when the teleportation ended.“There is a note,” Hana said, pointing in the direction where a paper was stapled.‘Was fortunate to have found a great barbeque restaurant and wanted to share. Take a portion and send the rest to Blake Prime and company. Gathering the supplies will take a week to deliver. Love Blake,’ The message said when Sylvia read.“We only have a week to prepare. Can we make this happen?” Sylvia asked Hana, who was looking closely at the food with drool.“Hana. HANA!” Sylvia called out.“Yes, all will be prepared within a week,” Hana said, snapping out of her daze. The aroma wa
In a home next to the center of Guthrie City, there came a burst of laughter from within. The young man who was the current Magistrate had completed his cultivation and finally broken through to his next realm, Early Martial Grand Master. With this realm, he believed he was able to conquer the one woman he deemed his, Chai Xuanlu. In his mind, he would challenge her betrothed and then utilize her powerful Chai family and conquer the Central Provence with his new founded strength. With the ambitions of the young Magistrate in mind, he rose from his secluded room for cultivation and called for his head guard.“Sir, what are your orders?” A man in his forties in armored attire arrived and knelt in front of the Young Magistrate in his white and red robes.“Send out a challenge letter to this Blake Elon in a day’s time for the hand of Chai Xuanlu. I want to see if this betrothed is worthy of such a woman.” The young Magistrate stated with a wicked grin. He had figured he would dispose of t
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
