Janet could literally feel her heart racing. When Warren leaned forward for a kiss, it was as if there was a force of attraction that brought her closer. Her soft and gentle lips met his and the taste of her cherry lip sweetened Warren's mouth. For her, it felt as if she was transported to some tropical setting where the sound of nature and water smothered all her worries. 

The kiss lasted only for a brief moment, but that was enough to make the both of them struggling to let go. It was magnetic and the force attraction between them was so strong that Janet fell into his arms. Warren embraced her with all he had and in that moment, Janet felt as if she was in the safest place imaginable: Warren's arms.

It was just getting steamy when they heard someone clearing their throat behind them. It seemed like one of their neighbours walked passed and since the door was laying on the ground, everyone could see what was about to happen. Janet was so embarrassed that she qui

    Nathalie was worried when Janet didn't come home. Usually she would let them know if she would spend the night somewhere else. That's why, when she heard a noise outside, she immediately rushed to it, only to find Nathalie stepping out of a luxurious car. Upon second inspection, she realized that the man behind the steering wheel was none other than Warren. It hadn't even been that long since she last saw him, but she yearned to see him again. She was envious of her cousin to spend time with him. "Is this the time to arrive?" she asked of Janet. Janet only blushed. She didn't know what to respond in that scenario. Then Nathalie turned her attention to Warren glared at him. Warren smiled awkwardly, because he didn't want to get on her bad side. Neither did he want to spend a second longer in their presence. Since Janet was safely home, Warren said his goodbye and hit the road again. He had only one destination in his mind. The Parker family at their hiding spot. Once Warren d

    Warren looked around him and he suddenly lost all sense of direction. He didn't know where he came from or which direction to head to next. Elaine tried to explain to him that it was the curse of the scroll, but Warren didn't believe in something like that. Even curses have a basis, so there was a logical explanation to what he was experiencing at that moment. Warren decided to test the curse. He got himself ready and ran in a straight line to the north from where the Parkers were sitting. Warren ran straight and didn't deviate even once, but after about 10 minutes he arrived at the exact same spot where Joshua's body was laying. Warren knew that if was some kind of mental illusion or something, because there was no way he could have ran in a straight line and ended exactly where he started. Unless he was tricked and he ran in a circle. Johnathan and Julian wasn't paying any attention to Warren at all. It was only Elaine who bothered with him. They were t

    After he was drunk on his newfound power, Johnathan finally calmed down. The sword that the dragon gave to him was called the Draken Saber. It was a legendary weapon that granted its wielder the power equal to an ancient legend. The dragon disappeared after Johnathan received the weapon. "You have my gratitude, my dear son. You don't know how long I've search for this legendary weapon. This would give me the strength to even rival my elder brother, Adam. I specifically searched out this weapon, but got lost because of this curse. It was all thanks to you that I now wield this power," Johnathan said. He again let out an evil laugh as he turned to Warren with the sword raised above his head. "Now show me if you're worthy of being called my son," he said. Elaine was about to jump in front of Warren to prevent her father from attacking her brother, but Johnathan didn't care one bit. He unleashed a powerful slash at once that tore even into the fibers of time and sp

    Once outside of the barrier, Johnathan threw the half dead Warren on the ground. Elaine could only watch in horror as her brother was bleeding out. The only reason Warren was in that situation was because of her. "Father, please allow me to save his life. I beg you," Elaine pleaded. Her father looked at her in disgust, but he didn't answer her at all. Julian took it upon himself to slap Elaine so hard that het lips started to bleed. He couldn't believe that Elaine would choose Warren above them. That was an act of betrayal that he won't forgive so easily. "You have some nerve even spouting such nonsense! You should be glad that Father let you live. Don't push your luck," Julian warned her. But Johnathan signaled to him to be quiet. Julian did just as it was asked of him. "Since you're willing to grovel for him, I will allow you to take care of him. But could you also bury Joshua. You at least owe him that much after his flesh kept you alive," John

    A week later, Warren and Elaine found themselves on the mainland again. They managed to escape the Lushia Islands and Warren even got in some practice with his new swords. It seemed like during his absence there wasn't any significant incidents about towns getting attacked and destroyed anymore. The reason for that was perhaps that Master Kalama was out of the picture. But Warren felt uneasy. It didn't make sense that Adam Parker would leave things like that. Just what was he up to?Warren wanted to bring Elaine back to the Parker mansion, but eventually decided against it. With Johnathan being so unstable, he was afraid that he would kill Elaine the first moment he got. So Warren brought her to the villa he bought a few months ago in Richmond. It was really a good investment since it was located in such a lucrative and luxurious environment.Elaine was surprised to see how well Warren was doing for himself, especially after he didn't have any support from Johnat

    Warren struggled to function properly for the days following what he witnessed at Olivia's house. There was no news about the whereabouts of either Olivia or her family. Warren grew more worried with each passing day. The longer he was without any news, the more he blamed himself. Warren thought that if only he arrived earlier or as soon as Olivia sent the message, he might have been able to save her. But now she was gone and it was all his fault. Warren didn't leave Carnarvon for at least a month, since news about Olivia still hadn't reached his ears. There was nothing else on his mind than her well-being. That was until Warren heard a rumor. It seemed like people were mentioning a certain event that would take place in a week from then and it would take place in the city of Richmond. According to the rumors, Adam, the eldest son of James Parker, challenged his younger brother, Johnathan to a duel for the wealth of the Parker family. When he heard the ru

    Just as Warren was about to bring his sword down on his father's head, he could sense another presence coming towards them. It seemed like Johnathan could sense it too, and the both of them immediately focused their attention in that direction. Neither one of them had an idea on who it was, but one thing was clear: the person coming towards them wasn't someone to mess with. The Reiteki he exuded, even turned the sky purple. That was the first time Warren saw such a phenomenon. While Warren was anticipating the attack, Johnathan seemed to be quaking in his boots.There was a huge bang and then the sky seemed to crack! Warren was about to take a defensive stance, but before he could do that, a man appeared in front of him. The man posed nonchalantly as he rested his arm on Warren's shoulder. Warren didn't even have time to respond to the man's movements. That's how quickly he arrived."Well this sucks. A family reunion without inviting yours truly. I didn't realize

    Johnathan launched a slashing attack towards Adam, but the latter blocked it effortlessly. While Adam focused his attention on blocking Johnathan's attack, Warren sidestepped him and slashed him from behind. Adam didn't expect Warren to work with Johnathan, since he thought they hated each other's guts. But that assumption turned into quite a miscalculation. Though Warren connected fully, his slash didn't do as much as he expected. It drew a little blood, but that was about it.Even Johnathan was surprised when he saw what Warren did. He thought that Warren would choose to wait that one out and probably focused on fighting Adam once Johnathan worned him down. But Warren wasn't about to waste any time. He knew that if he allowed Johnathan to fight alone, even wearing Adam down a little wouldn't help, since Warren still wouldn't stand a chance then. That's why he aimed to assist Johnathan in dealing with Adam. It was a once off deal, never to be repeated again."Wh

    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.

    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
