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
Johnathan could feel the strength leave his body too when he realized who it was. The hostage that Adam captured was none other than Elaine Parker. He was a real bastard if he chose to use family as a shield. Did bonds mean nothing to the likes of him?"Sorry, I totally forgot about my little niece. But your attempts at stopping me is futile. The only things she managed to do was to prolong your execution. Now where were we?" Adam asked as he summoned his fireball again. When Elaine called out to him, he accidentally deactivated his technique. What he didn't know was that in that split moment, he gave Warren enough time to gather the strength and resolve to launch his own counterattack.Seeing his sister in that situation, was just what Warren needed to give him the extra edge. As Adam was charging his fireball attack again, Warren already prepared his, before the ball was at the appropriate size, Warren attack with a slash. It was imbued with Reiteki and Warren
Warren looked at Johnathan with fiery red eyes. He was about to decapitate Adam, but Johnathan decided to step in for his brother. Warren brought down the sword again on Adam's head, but Johnathan stood in his way again. That was when Warren decided he had enough. If Johnathan wanted to feel his wrath, so be it. Warren would give him his wish.Warren used his sword and struck Johnathan right across the chest. Johnathan didn't have the necessary speed to dodge a slash of that magnitude. Warren was levels above him, so taking care of Johnathan was easier than expected.Elaine could see both her father and uncle on the brink of dead, and that broke her heart. She ran and stood in front of Warren while begging him to be merciful. Warren didn't pay any attention to her at all. Elaine even went as far as to start begging on her knees. She hated her father, but no child wanted to see their parents get killed in front of them. What kind of person would ever conside
Warren was too weak to pull himself to his feet again. When he was done slaying Adam, he somehow regained his senses, but he was also out of stamina. It felt as if a train had driven over his body. He had vague memories about what happened, like Adam killing Elaine, but after that, everything was a blur. It was almost as if he was in a trance.Warren looked at his hands. It was there, but he couldn't feel anything. Warren's whole body was numb. He had to overexert himself to get to Elaine's body. Warren knew that no matter how hard he tried, there was no bringing her back. For someone who just got a decisive victory over a great foe, Warren wasn't really in a celebratory mood. He laid his head on her body and lost consciousness.After three whole days, Warren opened his eyes again. He was in the local Flemond hospital. It looked like someone took pity upon him when they saw the sorry state he was in, but why did they bother to bring him all the distance fro
Warren thought that his ears were playing tricks on him. Did Jennifer really say what he thought she said. He asked her to repeat herself as if he was hard of hearing."I said I want you to marry me. Charles left with a flooze after what you did to him in Richmond. It's only fair that you should make up for that," Jennifer repeated herself. Warren wasn't having any of that so he bursted out laughing. That was the best joke he heard in a very long time. Jennifer must have been high on her own saliva if he thought Warren was going to consider something so ridiculous."First of all, it was your own fault. Do you expect me to forgive you after what you put me through? Secondly, you were the one who fell in love with a womanizer, so be it. And lastly, do you remember how you guys went as far as kidnapping Olivia. Do you expect me to forgive you for all that?" Warren ranted on and on. But it was as if Jennifer deliberately pretended not to hear what Warren said. She wa
"After all this time, you decided to only show your face now? Do you know how much I missed you?" she exclaimed. Warren scratched his head. He was at a loss for words. Why would Yvonne even miss him? It's not as if they were so close. The one she was really close to was Samuel and he was out of the picture."I'm sorry about that. I had a lot to deal with, you know," Warren responded. He just wanted the conversation to end so that he could finish the business he arrived to do. But Yvonne wasn't about to let go of him so easily. She felt like she had a lot to share with him. When she strolled her hair over her ear, Warren noticed something. She had a shiny diamond ring on her finger."By the way, who is the lucky guy? Do I perhaps know him?" Warren asked. When she realized that he was referring to the ring she had on her finger, she blushed a little. She didn't want Warren to notice it all, but she was so excited to see him, that she didn't take the necessary
Warren completely forgot about Yvonne that was looking at him with jealous eyes. He ran outside as quickly as he could to catch up to the woman he saw. As he approached her, he kept shouting her name, but she didn't look back once. Warren didn't let that stop him. As soon as he reached her, he embraced her from behind and held on as tightly as she could. She smelled a little different than the usual perfume Warren was used to, but as long as he could touch her again, he was happy.The woman let out a loud shriek when she felt Warren's arms around her. She turned her face, and that was when Warren realized just how wrong he was. Though her body looked exactly like Olivia, the woman he was holding onto, wasn't his beloved. She was scared crazy and when Warren finally let go of her,she slapped him right across his face. Warren couldn't hide the embarrassment he felt at that moment. How could he make such a novice mistake?"I'm so sorry for mistaking you for someone
Without a moment's thought, Yvonne reached out and she hugged Warren in the middle of the restaurant. It totally slipped her mind that they were in a public space, so the gazes that was on them, didn't bother her at all. When Warren felt her warm embrace, his tears started to flow uncontrollably. Yvonne was feeling really bad that Warren was in such a vulnerable situation, but she enjoyed having him in her arms. His smell was so pleasant to her.But just as she got comfortable with that, they were interrupted by someone clearing his throat next to them. Yvonne let go of Warren and when she looked at who it was, she was left dumbfounded. The man had an irritated expression on his face, but Warren couldn't understand why it would bother him so much seeing Yvonne hugging him."Care to explain what's going on?" the man asked as he looked at Yvonne. She had a very guilty expression on her face. She was like a child who was caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She looked
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
