“Of course I’m confident. I know how to make pills!” Zephyr said with a smile. With that sentence, all who were present had their eyes widened, they could not believe what they had just heard. Some leaders even let their energies flow out — an uncontrolled burst. “Zephyr boy, is this true? You can make pills?!” Typhoon yelled, unable to stop himself from standing up as he asked. “Yes. If all we need are spirit pills, I believe I can make that happen easily,” Zephyr said confidently. “How is this possible? Pill-making is a guarded art, a secret skill! You’d need a certain degree of power and expertise too! You’ve never known any medicine man, never learned from any, how do you know how to make such pills?” Spout asked, suspicious if this was the Zephyr he had known before. “It’s just pill-making!” Zephyr said as he blew a raspberry.Almost everyone had their eyes rolled backwards at Zephyr, their faces contorted in disbelief, envy, confusion, surprise, and in awe. They could not be
In the Skyfall building, Zephyr was greeted warmly and respectfully by Alfred, his experience in such matters were shown through his meticulous and deliberate actions. Before long, they stopped outside a room. This room looked to be special as there were not many other rooms around. Zephyr wondered if this room belonged to the manager of the company. “My Lady, I present to you he who you requested!” Alfred greeted, standing outside the room. “Enter!” a soft voice called out after a while. Zephyr’s resolve shook when he heard this woman's voice. ‘This woman’s voice is enchanting! No normal man could endure it,’ Zephyr thought, suppressing himself. “Please My Lord, enter,” Alfred said with a smile, he opened the door and gestured for Zephyr to enter. Zephyr nodded, and entered the room without hesitation.The door closed immediately behind him. Zephyr squinted, slowly took in his surroundings. Inside the room, it was wider than he anticipated. The decorum was grand too. However, the co
“She must be a fairy!” Zephyr clenched his fists and struggled to suppress his desires. His composure regained much of itself. “Are you the manager of Skyfall?” Zephyr asked while he took his gaze off of her. The woman did not expect Zephyr to have such control. She pursed her lips, softly and spoke, “Yes, I am. What you want of us is too big an order, needing me to personally meet you. Please, sit,” She reached out her hand and gestured for Zephyr to sit and chat. However, her small gesture was enough to almost send Zephyr over the edge, he struggled to sit himself down. Afterwards, the lady poured a cup of tea for him.“How should I address you, ma’am?” Zephyr asked as he reached for his cup. Zephyr was aware he was under her seductive spell, if he did not control his composure, he would no doubt be sold short. “‘Ma’am’? How quaint… Hmph, you should call me ‘miss’ instead!” she said, disappointed. “Heh heh, aren’t we just discussing business? How I address you shouldn’t be that big
The Might was an ancient Way, a technique among techniques, a skill among skills, how could it yield to a lowly seduction spell? Zephyr was too careless earlier, but fret not, for he had the Way to dispel the seduction spell. There was almost nothing the Way could not do. “Hmm, do you have any ideas?” Zephyr asked with a more relaxed tone this time. Zephyr pried to see what this manager would do. “Oh? How about a 30-70 deal? If you tell me the recipe, I will give you 30 percent of the profits!” Jade replied, her expression was confident and playful. ‘Hmm, although she casted her spell, the offer she’s giving isn’t half bad…’ Zephyr thought, at first he was annoyed, but now satisfied. But of course, Zephyr wanted more, he had seen through her seductive ways after all. “30-70?” Zephyr muttered. “Yes, what do you think?” Jade asked while a pout was formed on her face. Her underlying expression was joyful, in her perspective, Zephyr had already fallen for her spell. He would agree to anyth
“Zephyr, you *sshat!” Jade screamed. She did not expect Zephyr to be this cunning, leaving immediately after he took advantage of her. She did not even get a chance to exact her revenge. She gritted her teeth, stared at Zephyr’s back, and yelled, “You better watch you back!” Her face was red, her hair a mess, even her blouse was undone. Jade felt so ashamed were anyone to see her like this.Later, Alfred was summoned to the room. “My Lady, the recipe for the balance pills are quite modest. Though, the process of making them is very unique and strange. Should we investigate the Khan further?” he asked. “No, whether the Khan does indeed have a secret medicine man or not is irrelevant. The Khan are different… follow the agreement we made with the Khan boy, I believe that this is just the beginning of a very profitable endeavor!” Jade replied. For some reason, Alfred could sense feelings of anger and resentment from his mistress whenever the “Khan boy” was brought up. “Maybe I’m over-read
Word of balance pills spread throughout Starlight like wildfire. Although it was about twice its price, its effects were way better than spirit pills. This was great news to fighters all around. The whole of Starlight rumbled with its arrival. Pills were crucially important to every fighter, especially those without clans. For one to quickly raise their strength, they would need pills. Although the price of balance pills were higher than spirit pills, its effects warranted its charge. They sold like hot cakes. Many pill merchants had been instantly hit with competitive pressure. Many clans had mercantile fronts for pills to boost their personal finances. Alas, the appearance of balance pills had shifted the Starlight economy immensely, this diverted almost all the consumers interest from spirit pills. Many would kill for the control over these precious pills.However, these dreams were crushed once they knew that the influence behind the balance pills was done by Skyfall. Skyfall was
“We are still investigating, but nothing has come up yet…” one of the leaders replied meekly. “My Lord, I have a report on Zephyr!” a Sun leader suddenly spoke up. “What news? Spit it!” Sylvester’s eyes brimmed with eagerness. “The Khan heir, Zephyr, meets with Skyfall every other day. Every time he leaves, he is always sent out earnestly…” he continued, revealing his news in detail. “Hmm, it would seem that that boy Zephyr has a dirty little secret!” Sylvester said coyly, his fists still clenched.…The lavender incense burned fragrantly. Although it was not the first time Zephyr had met with her, his heart raced every meeting. “Hmph, these are the ingredients you need!” Jade huffed, rolling her eyes at Zephyr. For some reason, she would always forget Zephyr’s age, for the energy he exuded was not that of a sixteen-year old. Especially since he had taken advantage of her, this deeply shamed her. “Heh heh, thank you thank you! I’ll take my leave then!” Zephyr chuckled as he took the
If it was anyone else, they might not have noticed this. But this was Zephyr, a powerful, up and coming fighter with senses that extended beyond the norm. No matter how well the others had hid themselves, none may hide for long. ‘He’s roughly 150 feet away from me… with friends all around,’ Zephyr’s heart raced with this thought. With such preparation on their end, Zephyr knew he was in for a long night. “Have you finally cracked, Sun?!” he demanded.With this, a barrage of movements closed in on Zephyr, and in the blink of an eye, about ten or so men surrounded him. Among them was a middle-aged man, with a striking aura. He had made no effort to hide his power. Some of them, Zephyr recognized from his first meeting with the Sun. Most of them were Strengths of level eight, the other two were level nine. ‘The Sun are powerful indeed, sending such strong fighters against me,’ Zephyr thought, excited at the prospect. He made an effort to remember their faces.“Zephyr, our lord invites y
