“So, you say underground, huh?” Sly asked as he and Geral left the building where they were monitoring the CCTV footage.“Black markets. I found three vehicles that match our target. With any luck, we find one of them with a damaged front chassis,” Geral told his master as he fished out his tablet, which was a lot easier to use while they were on the go.The trip to the first location was short, a small warehouse that sold used cars, but the place had an open display setting.“Unlikely,” Geral pronounced before they even went in, and truth be told, they still had the blue car in their stock. This wasn’t their guy. The next dealer was further into the city and they needed to take a train to get there.While on transit, Sylvester settled in for a little bit of meditation.“You don’t think this isn’t the time for this?” Geral nudged him once. He didn’t answer.He caught Geral’s fist before he could nudge him a second time. “I need every ounce of strength I can get, because I don’t want t

Sylvester was at home trying to master his cultivation when a sharp pang hit him in the chest, jolting him brutally out of his state of meditation.Something was wrong.He immediately got up and phoned the office, but when he did that, everything seemed to be fine on their end. He paced the living room for a while, hoping that his quest for quick power-up hadn’t disrupted something. He wanted to call Katherine and ask after her wellbeing, because after all, she was his student.If something were to happen to her, he would feel responsible, especially since he felt the sensation.But he didn’t know if he wanted to. His quarrel with her was still fresh in his mind, and he didn’t think he wanted to face her yet, especially if he eventually called her and everything was fine on her end.Hence, he called Geral and told him to check on Katherine for him.Geral agreed without hesitation and he wanted to go back into meditation, but something was still wrong.He still felt disturbed. Just as

Emily woke up and did her usual routine – making and having breakfast with her husband, prepping for work and leaving the house.And then, the feeling got her again.She had been having this crippling anxiety for a while now – like someone was watching her. Ever since the whole event with the “Children of Azraloth” as Sly had told her, there always seemed to be an eye on her.She dismissed it, though, maybe she was just being paranoid.But even when she got into her car and tried to drive, she felt like she was not the only one that had been in the car.‘Yeah, of course. You have a husband,’ an inner voice chided her skepticism and she tried to relax for a little bit.Maybe she was just overthinking the entire thing.She got to work, and tried to settle into it, but those damned eyes…they wouldn’t let her work.She went over to her window and stared down at the moving city below.People of all walks of life moved, almost as if they couldn’t wait to get to where they were going. The ci

Katherine wasn’t going to go out just like that. She had fantasized this moment right down to the very moment that she and Sly would share their first kiss.She had thought about how he would hold her in his arms, and how the both of them would ride each other into blissful orgasms.The spot Emily was on was hers. Undoubtedly. She had served Sylvester for years as his student, and all this while, she had tried to still her emotions for him. She had tried desperately to wait until the time was right.The time was right now…and he was with someone else? No.The thought of seeing Emily smile because of Sylvester took away her own smile. She couldn’t bear it. Emily didn’t deserve the warlord. She did. Katherine. And as soon as Sylvester pushed her away, she made one thing clear in her mind.She was not going to go down easy.The very next day, she tried to come back to Sylvester…to try again.Maybe he sensed Emily coming, and decided to push her away to avoid any form of drama.Oh, how t

Sylvester hadn’t called her yet, but she didn’t want to spend time with her mother any longer. Every moment between them nowadays was so tense.It was the same before Sylvester gained his ability to walk, but before, she was forced to bear it, because in some way, it was better than the tension between her and Sylvester.When faced with two evils, you go for the lesser.Now, things between her and Sylvester weren’t perfect, but it was incomparable to the tension between her and her mother.She and Isabella were a chasm apart when it came to ideologies, but because of the common predicament they shared – a crippled Sly, they had to put their differences aside. Now, there was no reason for them to.It turned out that she didn’t have to wait long, as barely a minute after she stepped out of the office, contemplating going to a nearby café to wait for her husband, she spotted him strolling to the venue.Yes, they shared one car which she took, so seeing him walk didn’t give her any sort o

Emily slept a little hurt, but all the more confused. A lot of questions pulsed through her mind, but they were questions that she could not ask.They didn’t make sense to ask at this time in their relationship. Were they close enough to? She didn’t feel like they were.So why did she feel the stir of jealousy and the pang of betrayal stir inside her?Something was definitely going on between her husband and that woman that consistently calls him, “Boss”.Who was she? Another one of those ex-students of his?She helped her in the party, though…that was for sure. But was she coming to take her dues by sleeping with her husband?She was sure that Sylvester did not allow it, but how could she be certain. What if they were about to do something, but quickly disbanded when they heard her come in? A lot of unholy thoughts pooled into her mind, and she slept on them, bringing her into a sour mood when she woke up the next morning.Even then, Sylvester was nowhere to be found.Odd. He someti
