Warren didn't understand the implications of the old sage's words, that's why he asked the sage to clarify things to him. The old man told Warren to sit down. He then proceeded to tell a tale of ancient times. What transpires next was set in a time of more than 20 years ago.
***
Old Sage, Uflyn, and his trusted friend, Orius, were following their master, Great Sage Gotaz on his travels throughout the Firea Continent. There they came across countless cultivators, which they simply knew as wizards. The cultivators of that continent were particularly skilled in their manipulation of fire. Their mastery of the dark arts were exceptional, where most of them were masters of S-Class and higher.
Great Sage Gotaz took his two apprentices, Uflyn and Orius to this specific continent so that they may learn the art of wizardry. To his surprise, both Uflyn and Orius quickly grasped the concept of the arts and after spending only a year in the Firea Continent, they
Old Sage Uflyn brought led Warren to a secluded area in a mountain nearby. There he spent a whole week with Warren with nothing to survive on but the berries and insects which they found in the vicinity.Old Sage Uflyn made sure to unseal Warren's Reiteki. Although it took him more than a week, he finally succeeded. Warren was ecstatic when he felt the familiar sensation of Qi flowing in his body. He regained his previous status as an S-Class Level 6 Master.However, Old Sage Uflyn told Warren that was only the surface of his true strength. Warren didn't even scratch the surface of his latent ability."Your Reiteki supply is almost as endless as a bottomless well. However, I am surprised to see that you chose to put limiters on your Reiteki supply? Are you afraid that your power would be too massive or something?" Old Sage Uflyn asked him."What do you mean when you talk about limiters? I never did such a thing. Isn't it probably because I still hav
Warren returned to Wellington a day later. However, he didn't spend too much time there as he was still about to find the whereabouts of Master Ford.Warren felt that his sensei kept some important information from him, and he wanted to know why he did that. Whether it was about his Reiteki or the abilities of the Ferocious Five. He had to know if Master Ford was someone who he could trust.After searching Wellington thoroughly, Warren didn't find any trace of Master Ford anywhere. Dejected, he returned home. Warren wanted to go to Flemond so that he could see what Samuel was up to. The last time he saw him was more than a year ago.Warren also remembered that he was low on cash. If there was one thing he learned when Johnathan Parker took the food right out of his mouth, it was money controls the world. Warren still didn't give up on his plans to build his own empire. He needed to do at least that much for himself.Two days later, Warre
Warren met with Miss Miller the next day. He was surprised by how young she looked. When they talked over the phone the previous day, Warren pictured her as a mature old lady. However, she didn't look a day over thirty. "You must be Warren Cole. We share a mutual friend, Yvonne. She was the one who recommended you. You don't mind if I ask you a few questions, right?" Miss Miller asked. Warren gladly obliged to her request. "Have you ever done any security work before?" "No, I haven't Ma'am, but I'm a quick learner. I get the hang of things quickly and I promise not to disappoint you," Warren responded eagerly. He really wanted to give a good first impression. If he could be a bodyguard for the Firea Continent young master, he would have access to maybe some crucial details of the Dark Wizard. "You know being a security guard involves a lot of risks. If push comes to shove, are you prepared to lay your life down for the client?" Miss
"Teach them a lesson right now!" Master White commanded. However, Griffith stood frozen still. He clearly knew he was out of his depth."If you don't want to, then I will do it myself!" Emile reiterated. Then he used all his strength and hit one of the bodyguards. The person he hit, was none other than Warren.In terms of age, Emile could clearly estimate that he and Warren was in the same age bracket. So attacking him was easier. Also, he had a moral compass which didn't permit him to ever lay a finger on a lady. Other than that, the other 4 bodyguards looked pretty rough. So Warren was the safe bet.To Emile White's surprise, when his fist made contact with Warren's face, it felt as if he hit a concrete wall. He expected Warren to scream out in pain, but he was the one who shrieked. Previously, Emile White heard about strong cultivators, but this was the first time he ever encountered someone like Warren. A person who could tank a blow from a D-Class mas
"Samuel, what is going on? What are you doing here?" Warren asked perplexed.The masked shooter, who turned out to be his best friend, struggled to his feet. He looked at Warren with furious eyes."What I'm doing has nothing to do with you! I'm warning you, let me go right now, or face the consequences!" Samuel threatened. With those words, he opened his jacket and revealed the bomb he had strapped to his body."I thought you would be the one to follow me here. Luckily I made provisions for it. I know about your strength all too well. If you don't let me go right now, then I'm going to blow both of us to smithereens. The choice is yours, Warren Cole."The conviction in Samuel's words were proof of his resolve. He wasn't joking about that. That was the thing that bothered Warren. He knew Samuel. He was the kind of person who would avoid violence at all costs. He would rather suffer harm, than to cause harm to someone else. Warren couldn't recog
Samuel still felt frustrated because he couldn't finish his assignment. He was tasked with getting rid of Emile White, but that plan was foiled when Emile ducked out of the way at just the right moment. He had to improvis,but was confronted by Warren. That's why he had to get rid of his friend in the process. The mission was too important to worry about their friendship. If Samuel had to way the stakes of the success of the mission against his friend's life, then the mission clearly tool priority. Samuel entered a dark building which was surrounded by lush greenery. He felt fear engulf him the further he entered. The supposed death of Warren was nothing more than a distant memory of his. When he finally reached the further room of the building, a guard blocked his path. The guard then searched him before allowing him entry into the room. There Samuel met with a masked figure. The man in front of him purposely hid his identity from Samuel. "Is it d
Since Emile White was in danger of being assassinated, he made the decision to hide himself. He also requested his bodyguards to stay by his side without them ever leaving.While Warren was lying low in hope of getting news of the movement by the Supreme Admiral, certain rumors were spreading about him through Flemond.Samuel knew Emile was still in hiding, but he wasn't about to give up in his mission to get rid of him. He also knew he couldn't mess up or else everything he did would be for nothing. He had to keep himself occupied or else he would have lost his mind.Since he had less than 48 hours to find and kill Emile, he went out shopping to get some supplied. That's when he met with Yvonne. She was ecstatic when she saw him, because it had been so long since she saw his face after he disappeared so suddenly."Hey stranger, I'm glad to see you're still alive," Yvonne greeted him.Samuel wasn't in the mood for small talk, but he
As strong as Warren was, even he could not pick up the threat lurking outside their window. Samuel made sure to mask his presence extremely well and waited for the optimal moment to take his shoot. As fate would have it, Emile and his bodyguards were in Emile's room at that moment. Samuel's rifle was aimed at the living room. He was waiting patiently until Emile made his appearance. The moment he would catch a glimpse of Emile, he would take the shot. Meanwhile the unsuspecting group of men in Emile's room were still listening to Emile as he carried on with his story from earlier. "Whilst the Dark Wizard may be the one who wiped out all the cultivators of the Firea Continent, my grandfather told me he had a suspicion that there was someone else pulling the strings behind him." This little bit of information made Warren stop and wonder for a little bit. If there really was someone behind the Dark Wizard, then that person should be unbelieva
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
