Warren's heart also skipped a beat for a moment. He expected the woman to fall to the ground in a pool of blood, but she was still just sitting there. It turned out that the shot the man in the balaclava fired, was a dud. Yvonne had her hands over her eyes since she didn't want to see the bloody scene. When she opened them, she could see that she was still unheard.
"Why the long faces? Where is your sense of humor?" the voice asked again. Then he started laughing hysterically. He then requested that the man with the balaclava remove the protective clothing that she was wearing. Upon first sight, Warren and Yvonne could see the burn scars she had on her. She looked as if she was boiled in a pot of oil, that's how bad it looked.
"I give to you, our little princess. Do you see the scars. Does it remind you of someone yet?" the voice asked. For a moment, Warren's thoughts wandered, but then he realized that it was impossible. There was no way that it was her. Especia
"Are you two really going to pretend I'm not here?" Johnathan said as he instructed his guard to cut Olivia up a little bit more. She let out a loud scream that had Warren's blood boiling."Calm down, Warren. Don't lose your head. He wants you to do something stupid," Yvonne said. She was the one who was level-headed. She witnessed first hand how Warren lost someone dear to him and she didn't want him to go through the same pain again. Although she was jealous that Warren's heart belonged to someone else, she couldn't handle the fact that he would be heartbroken again. She remembered how he cried in her arms, and she wanted the one to be there for him.As if he was on cue, Mark arrived on the scene. Seeing Warren and Yvonne together didn't sit too well with him. He didn't like that hid wife was so close with someone of the opposite sex. He sat in his car and observed them from a distance. He wanted concrete evidence that he could hold against her, since she
Warren arrived in Richmond the following morning. On his way to the Parker mansion, he was stopped by an elderly man who seemed to wait for him. Warren was in a hurry, so he didn't want to waste any time, but the man stood still in the middle of the road, cutting off any chances for Warren to go past him.Not wanting to get violent, Warren thought that he should rather talk to the man and hear what he had to say. The old man had a kind of familiar look, but Warren couldn't put his finger on where he saw him before."Master Cole, my name is Bruce and I have been a servant of the Parker family for years. I'm sure you don't know who I am," the man said. That's when it hit Warren. He did see him when he visited the Parker mansion when James Parker was still alive. Bruce, as he called himself, was working out in the yard that fateful day."Yes, I remember who you are. To what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you here?" Warren asked. He looked at his watch
That was the moment when Warren's eyes opened. If it really was the case that the Parker family have been treating woman with the last name or Cole, like baby producing factories, then Johnathan 'falling in love' with his mother was no mere coincidence."Do you know the reason why they took part in such a bizarre practice for so long? Why would anyone be so committed to such a trivial thing for so long?" Warren asked. There had to be an explanation. No one would do something like that just for the fun of it."The reason for that is simple: to produce an offspring worthy of inheriting the sacred treasures of King Cole. There have been several treasure locations made known to the elite of the world, but it is inaccessible to all. These treasures are worth more than money could buy. The sword that Master Parker currently wields, is part of that famous collection, although it is incomplete," Bruce said. That claim made Warren think a bit more about why Johnathan was
Warren made it into the house in a jiffy. When he opened the door, he saw Johnathan Parker was sitting in the living room, just waiting for him. Warren looked around to see if there were any traps for him, because why else would he made it so easy to catch him? Johnathan laughed when he saw Warren was hesitant, but he told him to get closer so the two of them could talk.Warren speed blitzed him and appeared right in front of him, his sword aimed at the man's neck. But somehow, Johnathan didn't have any fear at all. He simply waited for Warren to make a move."Come on now, you don't want to talk first?" Johnathan asked. He then pointed his finger to the big television he had in his living room. Warren looked up and to his shock, on the screen was a live video of Olivia with her arms and legs tied up with chains. The messed up part was, the chains were over a pulley and it kept on stretching her arms."What you see in front of you is a live video call happe
"I'm not making any excuses for everything he's done, but Adam chose his own path. The reason he went out into the world to increase his cultivation level to what it had been, was to prove that he doesn't need to be the chosen one. He wanted to prove that our ancestors were flawed in their thinking. He could do it with his own strength, that's why he said, that tradition stopped with him. Little did he know, I already had an offspring of my own. Who knows, your superior strength and Reiteki control could be an indication that you might be what we have been waiting for. Who would have thought that it would turn out you to be the one to wipe out our bloodline," Johnathan said as he started to laugh. It was ironic. Someone with Warren's cultivation level was only a pipe dream. He might be the reincarnation of King Cole or not, but never in their history was there anyone who wielded such monstrous strength as him."I have no intention of ever being the reincarnation of anyone. I
She was just about to scream for help, when the man vanished before her eyes and appeared behind her with the knife pressed against her throat. "Make a sound, and you're history!" he warned her. Olivia was sweating bullets when she heard that. She knew that she was out of her depth. With one swift movement, the man could end her life. That's the gap in difference between their strength. "Please let me go. I won't say anything," Olivia begged, but the man only started to laugh. He heard that excuse almost more times than he could imagine. They say they won't talk, but they always do. "You won't get a chance to say anything at all. That's just fair since you decided to break into someone's house without their permission," the man said. He then brought the knife closer to her neck. He was serious about ending her life. Breaking in? What was he talking about? If there was someone breaking in, it was certainly not her. The man was the most susp
"I decided to take you up on the offer and visit. I can't be the only one who had that thought, right?" she asked as she went closer and pegged Warren on the cheek. Shannon smiled when she saw that.Jamie called her to let her know that she had some finalization to do on their contract. She also let Shannon know that there were developments between herself and Warren, that's why Shannon was in on it to keep her visit a surprise. When she saw the way Jamie kissed Warren on the cheek, she knew the two must have had something going on. One was rich and the other drop dead gorgeous. She was even jealous when she looked at her flawless complexion and exquisite body."I have missed you," Warren explained. For a moment his thoughts drifted to what happened between the two of them in the Einfrieren Continent, but it was grounded immediately by Olivia, crawling into his mind."I just thought a warning beforehand would have been nice," Warren said. Jamie's smile dis
"Cassidy! What are you doing here?" Warren asked. Cassidy was looking as stunning as ever. Warren almost choked on what he was drinking. Cassidy had a friendly smile on her face, but she couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes when she saw how beautiful Jamie was looking. You didn't have to be low on confidence, even some of the most beautiful women in the world would feel intimidated by her, that's why it was no difference Cassidy felt that way too."Oh, I've moved here recently after the divorce. It turned out Gary and I were not really on the same wavelength, so right now I'm on the shelves again," she joked. Warren let out an awkward laugh.Jamie was somehow getting irritated by the blatant attempt of Cassidy trying to tell Warren that she was available. Even though she and Warren wasn't official, she still had no plans about sharing Warren with anyone. They were only one step from ending up together and Jamie thought that Cassidy was sorely mistaken if she th
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
