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
Warren looked at his bloody hands.The reality of him killing his own friend with his two hands, hit him extremely hard. As he laid down Samuel's lifeless body, Warren knelt beside him.In the space of a minute or so, he lost a friend he just made and right after that, he killed his best friend.Warren forgot all about the incident when Samuel tried to kill him. He was just feeling remorseful about the way he reacted to that. Jr didn't even think about the reason why Samuel would have done that in the first place.'Nathalie!'Warren recalled Samuel's last words. He mentioned something about Nathalie being safe. Who was she and why would Samuel smile while mentioning her as he was about to die.Warren then fished through Samuel's pocket and retrieved a photograph. In the photograph was a young Samuel and an even younger girl next to him. The smile the two of them shared on the picture was proof of the immense joy
Lloyd was laying waste to Warren. He beat him up until he was satisfied. Although he was bleeding profusely, Warren just took the punishment. If he wanted to, he could have destroyed Lloyd with a single finger.However, he felt jt was somewhat deserved. After killing his friend, he didn't receive any retribution. What Lloyd was doing made Warren feel slightly better.If it wasn't for Lloyd's girlfriend, Warren would have surely been beaten to a pulp. She felt pity for Warren and after she stopped Lloyd, she just walked away. The previously cocky Lloyd, could only watch in anguish as his date decided to leave him behind."Do you feel better?" Warren asked Lloyd. Hearing that question, Lloyd became even more agitated. He threw one more fist at Warren, but this time when he made contact with Warren's face, it felt as if he hit a brick wall.Lloyd stared at Warren in horror. He couldn't understand why Warren had such a strong defense."Don'
Janet didn't stop. She told Warren everything she knew about the day when Nathalie was kidnapped. She felt more comfortable telling Warren than telling her own uncle. It felt to her as if she could trust Warren a little bit more.Warren was listening with a conflicted heart. Everything that Samuel did from trying to kill Emile, to attempting to blow up Warren seemed so miniscule now. It seemed like his hand was forced, and thinking back on it now, Warren wondered if he would do anything different."If we lost Nat, it would break us into pieces, but that would be understandable. However, losing Samuel too, would destroy all of us. I don't understand why he would disappear like this on us. It has been a few days already and I still can't reach him. I'm getting worried," Janet cried.Those words were like daggers aimed straight at Warren's heart. Even he realized how foolish his decision was to take his friend's life. That was a guilt that he would have
It didn't take long for Warren to reach Gilford. It was a small town from Warren's first impression. He then headed straight to the bar that the man mentioned. When he reached it, he was just in time to catch a squabble going on. There was a difficult customer and he was inappropriately touching one of the ladies who worked there. Warren wasn't close enough to notice who was involved in the altercations. The man was starting to tear on the girl's clothes. Any decent man would have interfered by now, but it seemed as if no one wanted to get involved. However, it seemed as if the perpetrator had a high social status in the town, that's why people didn't want to get involved. From the conversations going around, Warren deduced that the man was known as Harold Kock. He was the leader of one of the town's gangs. He was also involved in underground activities such as laundering of money, robberies and even human trafficking. That's why everyone knew if th
Harold started shivering.He knew that he messed with the wrong person. It only took one man to get rid of his small army. It wasn't as if they were weak or anything. Those were skilled martial artists. They didn't even get a chance to display any of their skills.Harold started scheming in his head. He knew that it would be impossible for him to defeat Warren by himself. So he thought of making a bargain with him."Please don't hurt me! I promise that I will give you everything I have." Harold started his plea. "I also have a wife and three kids at home waiting for me," he said. Whether this was a lie or not, it didn't actually matter too much to Warren.Warren reached out a hand and broke Harold's arm. He would have done much more damage to him if Harold followed through on his attempt to kill either Nathalie or the other waitress."Be sure to wait for me and not go anywhere," Warren warned Harold. Since he was in such an immense amou
After he returned Nathalie to Janet, Warren snuck away quietly.He didn't want any follow-up questions from the two girls. He was really glad that he could fulfill his friend's dying wish. There was nothing Samuel wouldn't do to save his sister. Warren admired his resolve for that even more. He knew that he would have to live with that guilt for the rest of his life.When he left, Warren didn't return to Wellington or to Flemond. However, he made his way back to Gilford. There he met up with Harold Kock again. The two of them sorted out the issues Warren had with his companies. Warren spent the best part of a year in Gilford and worked his fingers to the bone to ensure that the company he received from Harold flourished beyond recognition. SAM Enterprises was the name Warren chose after Harold handed him the reigns. Warren made sure not to leave Harold out of anything, and his previous foe became his right-hand man. The two of them ventured into many diff
And so it began. Warren said his farewell to Harold and then he embarked on his journey to the Firea Continent. Warren arrived at the continent after a 12-hour flight. He was exhausted, but he was blown away by what he saw. Maybe because his expectations was low, he didn't expect that the country would be so developed. After he recalled the story that Elder Sage Uflyn told him, he thought that the continent was plain as far as the eye could see. But he was surrounded by skyscrapers all around him. The plane Warren took, landed in the capital city, Blackrock. Warren was curious as to why the place was named that way. However, he thought he would leave the exploring for when he was done taking a rest. Being at the cultivation level he was, fatigue was no problem for him at all, but he just wanted to kick his legs up in the air for a change. He hailed a cab which brought him to one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. The h
Before the leader could answer Warren's question, everything in front of him turned black. He was knocked out instantly.Just as fast as the 'fight' started, it ended. Warren didn't see the need in wasting too much time with weaklings like that. He sighed since he was bored.'I guess it will be tough to find a worthy opponent in a place like this,' he thought to himself."Such delicate technique. To incspacitate so many opponents all at once. You must truly be a master."Warren turned around to face the person who spoke those words.He had a strange feeling when he looked at the man. It was unthinkable that someone could be behind him without him even noticing."Who are you?" Warren asked. He didn't want to spend too much time with the newcomer."No one in particular. With strength such as yours, I'm positive that you're not an ordinary person. Sethunya maybe? But you don't look like the type," the man analyzed W
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
