Two days later, Warren's plane landed at the Richmond Airport. That was his first time traveling to the place.
The city was more advanced than Warren could ever expect. There were skyscrapers all around him and only the latest models of sportscars were driving on the streets.
As Warren looked out of the taxi he hired, which happens to be an Audi R8, he could see the people of the city were not ordinary. Their attire clearly indicated that they were swimming in the money.
When he arrived at the 20-storey hotel, Warren could only look at the majesty of the place. It made the Stargaze Hotel look like a pigsty. Just like most of the places in town, the hotel were owned by Johnathan Parker.
Warren purposely checked in under another name, in fear of Johnathan finding out about his arrival in Richmond. Warren wanted to blend in the crowd without inviting suspicion.
"Mr White, welcome to the Parker Palace. It's only one of several ho
The inside of the restaurant was breathtaking. The staff were professional and the meals that they served, were fit for a king. When it was time to order, Julian made sure to order his usual. The meal he ordered cost around 120 000 dollars. He couldn't wait to see the embarrassment on Warren's face when Warren couldn't cough up the money for the meal. To Julian's surprise, Warren ordered the exact same thing as him. Which meant that the total for the bill was roughly 250 000 dollars. It took all his strength, to keep Julian from bursting out in laughter at Warren's stupidity. "We've been enjoying this wonderful meal together and I haven't caught your name just yet," Julian said. He really wanted to know more about this intriguing man. "My apologies, Young Master Parker, the name is Samuel White. Pleased to make your acquaintance," Warren said as he gracefully bowed. He knew that if he wanted to gain favour with Julian, then he
Warren stood and watched as the car disappeared into the distance. Olivia didn't remember who he was. While he was heartbroken about that, he felt like a mountain has been lifted from his shoulders. He managed to find Olivia. Whether she remembers him or not didn't matter. What did matter is the fact that she was alive and well. Dejected, Warren returned to his hotel room. He then called Harold to let him know that he should call off the search for Olivia and that he found her. Warren didn't go into the specifics, because he wanted to solve that little conundrum all on his own. Warren spent the next few days exploring the rest of the city. It was glorious in all of its might. Warren even considered moving there, but he remembered that he still had to get down to business. There was no use in extending his confrontation with the Parkers. There was also the added matter of Olivia. Warren heard rumors about a cultivation club that was erected by the
"Allison Banks. You must probably be very interested about my visit to Richmond. But don't fear, I won't do anything to you. Unless you're going to be in my way," Warren explained. Allison has been devoted to Warren for a while, so she knew all about his exploits. She knew that she couldn't get into an altercation with Warren. "I know you're still mad about what happened back then. Could you please not retaliate against Master Parker. I know you are strong, but if you want to start a war, you are going to lose your life. If you want to punish someone, my body is at your disposal," Allison said. "Don't worry about that for now. While I'm here on personal business, I would really appreciate it if you could keep my location quiet. There's no need for Johnathan Parker to know about my whereabouts," Warren said. Allison thought for a while about Warren's words. She knew that Warren was still bitter about what happened, but she agreed to h
"Come again, say what!" Warren exclaimed. What was Allison talking about. Is Olivia beyond saving?"Master Cole, let me tell you what has been going on in Richmond for the past year or so. A new family suddenly rose to power. Where they come from, I have no idea, but I do know that they mean business. They have been going around abducting good looking females all around the Cape Continent, but we do not know for what purpose." Allison explained. Warren listened attentively."About two months ago I ran into one of those girls at a shopping mall. She was in the lady's room crying uncontrollably. When I asked her what was wrong, she refused to tell me because she feared for her life. I kept pestering and the moment she mentioned a name, her eyes started to bleed. Seemed like the curse activated and in less than a minute she was dead. I brought up the issue with Master Parker, but he immediately told me not to get involved."Warren had a rough idea what was go
"Don't say a word, I've got you covered," Warren said to Olivia. That only made her cry even more. Seeing her tears, angered Warren more than he could take. He would make the people pay that made Olivia suffer this much. There would be no escaping their judgment. When Olivia finally calmed down, Warren asked her to lay down so that he could inspect her body. He wanted to get a better understanding of this supposed curse that Olivia was under. Hesitantly, Olivia did just that. However, she made it clear that she would not undress and expose her nude body to Warren. Warren proceeded with his inspection. It took about a minute, but he couldn't exactly determine the exact problem with Olivia. But he sensed a disturbance in her unique Reiteki. Each and every person has Reiteki dormant inside them. It depends on them if they ever develop their Qi to the level where they can make it physically manifest. When Warren met Olivia, her Rei
Thereafter, Master Kalama brought Warren to a big door. From the looks of it, Warren could immediately deduce that the room belonged to the mastermind behind the plot."Am I permitted to enter, Sir?" Master Kalama asked. He had a wicked smile as he said that.They then got permission to enter. Warren expected to see a strong and masculine man surrounded by a group of beautiful women feeding him grapes while sitting on his throne, but the scene in front of him was even more shocking. Instead of finding that, he found a feeble looking man with a woman on his side. A woman that looked way too familiar for Warren to forget. Nor could he forget the man.Rage started to fill Warren's heart immediately. Who would have thought that 'he' was behind everything. Warren just wanted to say something when his face was met with a tight slap."And what is the pauper of Flemond doing here? You have the nerve to show your face! I have the right mind to ha
"Now that I have your precious Olivia here, what do you think I should do to her? Killing her would be too easy, so I think I should take my time in punishing her." Charles said menacingly. Warren gritted on his teeth. He was red with rage. He knew that dealing with Charles would be easy, but the problem was Master Kalama. Warren first needed to neutralize the Reiteki he placed on Olivia's brain. If only he could attack him, but what if Warren decided to make a move and Master Kalama immediately went on the offensive? Olivia would be dead within a second. So Warren devised another plan. He would immobilize Master Kalama the first moment he get. By doing that, it would prevent Master Kalama from inflicting any damage on Olivia. So Warren started stalking Master Kalama and kept a keen eye on him. Charles on the other hand wasn't any threat at all. "Now Warren, do you think I can let one of my men have their way with her first? That would humiliate her and
Needless to say, the man was Olivia's father. He was worried sick when he learned his daughter disappeared. Though he really tried to put up a brave front, when he saw her face, he couldn't keep up the charade anymore. Olivia lunged into his arms, the two of them crying uncontrollably. That's when her aunt also came into view. The father and daughter didn't even care about Warren standing right there. Olivia's aunt came over and introduced herself to Warren. The two of them walked a distance away so they could give Olivia some privacy with her sad. Her name was Faith Jenkins. She was Olivia's father's sister. She married into the Jenkins family of Carnarvon, that's why she didn't share the same surname as them. "Mr Cole, I'm really grateful to you for bringing back Livvy. We were worried sick about her. Some nights Austin couldn't even sleep. Now I understand why she is so fond of you." Miss Jenkins said. Warren blushed a little when he heard that Olivia was talking
Three days later, Warren was discharged from the hospital. He had nowhere to go and since he lost basically everything he owned, he made his way to the Parker mansion that was located on the outskirts of Richmond. He said he didn't want anything to do with that family anymore, but that was the only safe haven he could find in that instance.Since regaining his memories of what transpired back in Flemond, Warren felt that he had no reason to keep on living. He lost the only reason, in Olivia, to keep on living, and that after he promised not to let her go. He was horrible at keeping promises and that was what killed Warren.As soon as he arrived in front of the villa, Bruce, the butler, already anticipated his arrival. Warren recalled that he asked him to keep an eye over the affairs of Johnathan Parker since he was no longer around, but he didn't expect that Bruce would be so devoted in his tasks."Master Cole. I have awaited your return. Welco
Mark and his two bodyguards, who were quite a distance away, heared his cry all too clearly. When they turned to look in the direction from which they escaped, they could see smoke rising into the air. Although they were almost five kilometers away, they could clearly see the blue fire accompanying the smoke."What is that?" he asked hid bodyguards. The female bodyguard looked at him and responded: "That is the end!"She then sat on a log that nearby. Mark urged his male bodyguard to hurry up so that the two of them could get away. The two of them didn't hesitate and ran as quickly as their legs could carry them.The female bodyguard admired the scene that she saw. That was like something out of a fairytale. Though it was dark all around her, the blue fire contrasted the dark sky in a majestic way."So this is how it ends. I guess there is no escaping your destiny. You're truly the reincarnation of King Cole," she said.
Yvonne had to stand by and hear how her husband get ridiculed like that. She thought she married a stand-up guy, someone who didn't only look good and were rich, but also a man with morals. He wasn't Warren, but he was the next big thing in line.Mark, on the other hand, was boiling with rage. He secretly dialed a number on his phone and within a few minutes his two most loyal subordinates appeared. It was the woman who Warren and Olivia met and another man. Each one of them were cultivators of an extraordinary rank."So you decided to call for backup? I guess you must really be an embarrassment of a man if you can't even fight your own battles. You are not only weak, but you can only assert your dominance on helpless women. I really pity you," Warren said. Mark didn't care anymore. He wanted all of them dead, and that's what he ordered his henchmen to do. Before they could move an inch, Warren appeared behind the man, sword in his hand and the blade on the
"I watched them go out in flames. I heard their screams for help. My father's body was on fire, but he only worried about one thing. He begged Mark to let me go. I couldn't understand why he would want that while he was literally in the depths of hell," Olivia explained. The more Warren heard, the more his anger was fueled. What on earth gave Mark the right to do something to Olivia's family like that? What has he ever done to him? "You know, as they were busy losing their lives in the most horrid way possible, Mark just stood there and laughed. How could someone be so cruel as to do something like that?" "He finally focused his attention on me and said that this was his retribution. He said that he was looking for me for a while. I couldn't understand the meaning in his words, but later he explained everything to me. He said that he fell in love with a woman. She was the best thing to ever happen to him and that he never loved anyone more than that." "The wo
Warren didn't waste any time to linger around. He had to go after Olivia. She was beyond pissed at him. He knew that he messed up big time. She seemed to be spooked by something else before she got to find out about his fling with Jamie. It's not as if he was cheating. Warren felt that he was clearly within his rights to move on, since Olivia was presumed dead by that point."Are you really going to leave now, Warren?" Jamie asked. She looked as if she was holding on to the final thread of hope. She knew that if Warren decided to leave, that thread would snap and it would sent her spiraling downwards, out of control."I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Jamie. It was never my intention to hurt you. It's just that, I can't afford to lose Olivia. I lost her to death once, and now that I have her back, I can't do it again," Warren explained. Jamie didn't understand what Warren was talking about. How could he have lost her to death if she was clearly
"Hey Olivia. What's wrong?" Warren asked worried. Olivia still stood there as if she was frozen. She couldn't move a muscle."I've had enough of this debacle. Miss Francis, if you don't have anything to say to me, I best start going," Mark said. He was about to leave when Jamie arrived. She was so happy to see Warren and her boss finally met each other."Warren, I'm so glad you can make it here today. Now you can finally meet my boss," she said. Warren looked at Mark from head to toe. Was this the man that he was supposed to meet? Who would've known the world was such a small place."Why would I want to meet this idiot?" Mark asked.Warren didn't pay any mind to either of them. He was just surprised that Mark turned out to be thee Mr Clifford. Warren wasn't so sure about going into business with them anymore."Olivia, let me get you home." Warren offered. She nodded. Warren pulled her by the hand and brought her to his car. Yvonne
"Do you have any idea where I can get ahold of this boss of yours? It has been too long now. I think it's finally time we meet," Warren said.Jamie nodded. She thought that the two of them would never get to meet since they kept postponing it. It wasn't a good thing especially since they were entering in a deal that would put their company on the map and for that to happen, they needed the assistance of such a major company as Galaxy Tech Lane."I will arrange that he comes to the office today or tomorrow. Please make sure that you are present for that. I will come along since I am was partially the reason why we sealed the deal," Jamie teased him as she winked playfully. Warren couldn't disagree with that since that was really the case. If she wasn't such a beautiful secretary, it would've taken a lot more to change Warren's mind to get involved with such a small company."After that, the two of us can maybe go for a drink if you like," Jamie flirted. Warren wa
Christina was steadfast in her mission not to let Warren know what really happened. Warren was adamant, but she didn't give anything up. It took Olivia to finally convince him to let it go. Warren and Olivia left Christina so that she could rest further. He was still unsatisfied with how things ended, but he decided to let it go for the moment. He didn't want to add anymore to her stress.The two of them drove in silence back home. Once he made it back, he summoned Neo to meet him in his study. He told Neo the jest of things so that he roughly had an idea of what was going on."So your mission is to find out who the culprit behind all of this is. I have been through enough already. I can't let anything happen to Christina. She isn't out of danger yet. And as long as there are people gunning for her life, I can't rest in peace. Just make sure Olivia doesn't find out about any of this," Warren said. Neo nodded. This was the first big task Warren gave to him and he knew t
"How did it go?" Olivia asked once Warren returned home. She was always bad with hiding her facial expressions, so the worries was written all over her face."I gave them my number and address so that they may contact me in case there are any developments. For now, let's just hope she makes it," Warren said. Neither one of them could get something into their stomach that night. They were sick with worry.The phone, that Warren has been staring at for most of the day, suddenly started to ring. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was an unknown number, but it was from a landline. Warren didn't waste any time and answered immediately."Mr Cole. You left your number with us earlier in case something happened. There is good news, the young missus just woke up and she's alright. I know it's too soon to say, but she hasn't suffered any long term damage." the doctor explained. The sigh of relief Warren let out, was audible through the phone
