2024-10-29 19:42:5630 minutes later, they arrived in front of the Heavenly Sky Diner. Claudia led Warren to the entrance and then requested for one of the restaurant's better seats. She had to prove to Warren that she could afford to dine at such a place. A waitress brought them to a table and then took their order.
Since she was paying, Warren thought it would be fun to make Claudia sweat a little. He requested one of the more expensive dishes on the menu and a 15 year old bottle of wine which cost 2 thousand dollars. When Claudia saw which wine Warren ordered, she became worried immediately. He was blowing through her budget on purpose.
Their food arrived and Warren enjoyed the meal thoroughly. He didn't have his fill it at the cafeteria since Claudia interrupted him, but now he could eat to his heart's content. Claudia didn't enjoy the meal, she was only worried about the bill. By her estimations, she calculated that it would cost roughly around 8 thousand dollars to settle the

Warren took a deep breath and began. He started his tale by telling Olivia about his breakup with Jennifer. As he was unloading, he felt lighter. He told her about the emotions he experienced and how lost he felt when he caught Jennifer with Charles. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you went through something like that," Olivia responded. "Through that tragedy I got to meet Claudia, the girl who I had lunch with at noon," Warren said. He then explained the ridiculous circumstances in which he was caught red-handed by Claudia in her ex-boyfriend's room and mistook him for a peeping Tom. Olivia laughed at Warren's bad luck and told him to continue. Warren did just that and also told her about how he was beaten up. "I saw the video of someone getting beaten up so pitifully. Who would have thought that was you," Olivia said as she tried to hold her laughter. "You can laugh all you want now, but I literally saw my life flash before my eyes,"

Warren met up at the agreed time with Ford. He was waiting for him, and although Warren took his sweet time, Ford was glad to see that he honored his promise. "Are you ready to get stronger?" James Ford asked. Warren had a resolute expression on his face. There was no way he could pull out of it now. He had to grow stronger to confront the Parkers. Then there was also the added threat of the Fire Fangs. Ford made it sound as if they might also know something about the circumstances of Warren's mother's death. He couldn't let anything go without knowing if there might be any weight to Ford's words. "Have you decided where we're going? I suppose this terrain isn't suitable for my training, right?" Warren asked Ford. The elderly men, nodded and then he told Warren to get ready. After that, he sprinted ahead. Warren used all his energy to keep up, but he couldn't catch up. Luckily for him, Ford wasn't using all his speed, otherwise he would have surel

Although he asked Allison to return to Flemond, she still chose to stay for 2 extra days. She hadn't seen Warren in such a long time, so why would she leave him so abruptly. Allison also explained that during his absence, his businesses flourished nicely. The profit he made during his 12 month absence, exceeded 1 billion dollars. It came as a surprise that the Flemond Apothecary made almost 100 million dollars profit. As expected, the two companies which brought the most in was the Galaxy Tech Lane and the Heavenly Sky Diner. His hotel, the Stargaze Hotel, also didn't do too bad. Since he was away, Allison paid all the profits into Warren's personal account. With the interest it accumulated over that time period, Warren almost had 2 million dollars in his bank account. This amount included the 500 million dollars he received from Johnathan Parker and the 40 million dollars he stole from Christopher Chamberlain. After 48 hours, Warren kept on insis

Warren was feeling smug as he drove back home. He wanted to beat Gary Robertson up since forever, and he finally did it. He even went as far as to beat his teeth out.'Let's see how he will kiss Cassidy now,' Warren thought to himself. When he arrived at home, he parked his Audi S6 in the garage and then let the Toyota park outside, since it was a single garage. He had a long journey ahead of him the following day, that's why he spent the rest of his afternoon cultivating in his room. His Reiteki mastery reached a whole new level, so Warren thought consistent cultivation would help him improve even more.That night he went to bed early. He woke up with the chickens the following morning and cleaned himself up. After a quick breakfast, which consisted of a yogurt and an apple, he hit the road.The journey to the Karoo wasn't too taxing on him. Normally people would feel drained after such a long journey, but because of his mastery of Qi, Warren didn't

As he was still relishing in his new prey, the man deactivated his power and the fire ball in his hand disappeared. He thought he would first make Warren despair about his bad luck for running into him. Killing him would be too easy. He already killed someone that night, so he first wanted to make Warren suffer."The man you saw burning there was someone who stepped on my shoe earlier today. I'm usually a chilled-out man, but I couldn't forgive such behaviour. So I followed him to his apartment. Luckily he stays in the vicinity. So I brought him here and enlightened him about his transgressions," the man explained.Warren was relieved that he was so talkative. That meant that there was a chance for Warren to counterattack."What did the other three men do to you last night, then? What did I do if you want to destroy me too?" Warren asked. He was stalling for time. He wanted the man to let down his guard so he could strike."Oh you

Olivia was more relieved than angry when she saw Warren's face again. She gladly allowed him to help her up."I'm so sorry that I ran into you again. This bad habit of ours should really stop," Warren said embarrassedly as he scratched his head.Olivia laughed. She then asked to be excused so that she could get a change of uniform. Warren went back to his seat and was just in time for his food to arrive. He gladly indulged himself in it.Since Olivia was still on duty and the table that Warren was eating at wasn't hers, she didn't come over. However, she did occasionally gave him a smile when she looked over to his side. When she passed Warren's table, she dropped a piece of paper on the floor as innocently as she could. Warren picked it up and on it was written her name with her cellphone number.After he finished his meal, Warren went out to look for a hotel room. He thought that the Fire Fangs could wait for now. He arrived at a place

"Is everything okay?" Warren asked concerned. Olivia wanted to remain strong, but she couldn't hide her suffering any longer. She wanted to stay strong, but there is only that much that one can handle.She burst into tears. Warren embraced her as he tried to console the distressed girl. He then brought Olivia back to the Pavillion Park since it was close to the Protea Motel where Warren was staying. His car was still parked there. They went to sit in the car before Olivia finally calmed down."You must think I'm silly, right?" she sobbed embarrassedly.Warren smiled and shook his head."Is it alright if I ask about what happened back there?" Warren probed. He didn't want to be too nosy in fear of chasing off Olivia. He really enjoyed her company."That was the hospital. That was the place where my mother died earlier this year. Or rather the place where I killed her," Olivia explained.Warren found her choice of w

Warren left immediately for Uniondale. That night he did his reconnaissance from bar to bar to listen if he could find any word about the Fire Fangs.Since he killed the Fervor Franklin, he had to be cautious. He didn't know who might be able to track him because of his Reiteki. That why Warren sealed his Reiteki so that he may appear as a normal person.Previously it was easy to mask his Reiteki traces, but ever since he made a breakthrough, he found it rather tough because of his high power level.That night Warren also walked through the deserted streets, looking for any clues, but his efforts proved to be fruitless. His last stop for the night was an abandoned house located on the outskirts of the town. Even there he didn't find any luck. Disappointed he walked back to his car. But as he was leaving, he felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He felt as if he was being stalked. Warren could tell that the person who was watching him wasn't an

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
