Commander Clayton.”Sylvester’s pupils shrunk when he heard the name. It was unlikely that Clayton would find out about him so fast which means he had to go deeper in hiding.With a flick of his wrist, Sylvester removed his weapon from the man’s neck, and grabbed the man by the collar.Remembering an ancient brainwashing technique, he sliced open his finger, and pressed the first drop on the man’s forehead.The red-roped man twitched violently but Sylvester’s grip was tighter, and after a while, the man regained the light in his eyes.“Listen. You will go to your boss and tell him that Sylvester killed all your men, but you activated your trump card just in time, and burnt him to ashes.” Sylvester uttered.The red-roped man nodded and bowed. Somewhere in his body, his true self knew the truth but there was something blocking him from speaking.There was also the strange sense of death if he decided to go through that blockage.“Good. You may leave, and take the body of your men with y

The door to the house had shattered and some men in black walked in.“Are you sure this is his place?” The one who had spoken, had a red rope around his clothes, and he held a sword.“This was what Master Zhong told us. One of our watchers had sensed a small hint of his aura around this area.” Another person answered.The red-roped man sighed. “We have been to all the houses in this street and I even killed someone thinking he was the one. We can’t make that mistake again.” He gripped his sword tightly.“Yes boss. However, I am sure of this. This is the place. I can sense the cultivation energy.” The man confirmed as he looked around.“You are right, but it looks so empty, let’s go up.” The roped man answered.Sylvester sighed. He was careless. He’d have to move Emily out of here soon.Good thing she wasn’t around today, if not it would have been worse.His muscles tensed, and the urge to test his skills quickened, but to get rid of these people, he had to be smart.“Come here, all th

Sylvester opened his eyes and saw that it was morning, he had cultivated all through the night and despite his tiredness he wanted to cultivate more.“I should rest, I don’t want to ruin this body again.” Sylvester muttered. If he underwent a breakthrough by any chance in his very tired state, he could end up damaging one of his body systems and crippling himself. This was why he had to bid his time.A night full of cultivation was enough for him. Sylvester climbed into the bed and shut his eyes. “Sylvester, please are you awake?” Emily called as she pushed open the door to her husband’s room.She met him on the bed, sound asleep and he didn’t even realize that someone had walked in.Emily held her head and sighed, “I can’t believe he is still like this. I thought he changed when I saw him back then.” She muttered to herself, remembering how her husband had been so heroic at the matriarch’s house.Shaking her head, Emily left to prepare to visit the company. She had to be early. It w

Sylvester clenched his fist, his wife’s family was more devious than he expected. Emily didn’t deserve all this.“I will not let any of you ridicule my wife. The company belongs to her alone.” Sebastian stepped forward, his voice booming with authority. Cullen regained his composure and sneered, “Who do you think you are to meddle in our family’s business, cripple?” His words made the rest of the family calm down. He was right, Sebastian was only a cripple.Emily felt a heat in her heart, “My husband is not a cripple. As you can well see, he walks.” She said, walking to stand by Sebastian’s side. She didn’t know what she was doing but she couldn’t bring herself to ignore Cullen especially when he was speaking against Sebastian.“Just because his limbs are functioning doesn’t mean his brain is. He doesn’t have a right to involve himself. Hand over the company, Emily.” The matriarch was not amused about the whole situation.She had wanted to keep quiet but these people were getting bol

The matriarch's eyes widened. Her wrinkled face drew further into an ugly scowl as she rose from her throne-like seat.She pointed her trembling slender fingers in Emily's face."How dare you object to my command? You've become such an insolent and spoiled lady! You are truly not deserving of the family business," the matriarch spat in annoyance and disgust.Emily's tears fell in large pellets. "Grandmother, I worked hard for this. It was very little when it was handed over to me. You can't take it away," she passionately pleaded. "Please. It's all I have, and I love it so much."The matriarch's eyes softened slightly as she patted Emily's cheeks."My darling, you've always been a good girl from your childhood, and I've always loved you for that," she deadpanned."Keep being a good girl now by handing over the company to your brother. Choose the best interest for your family. The family business will do better in Cullen's hands, don't you know?"Emily wiped her tears away. The old wom

Time stood still as Sylvester stood on his feet, strength coursing from his sturdy legs to the rest of his body.At last. The time and money spent at the secretive monthly military rehabilitation programme had finally paid off. His lips turned slightly in a faint smirk. How glad he was to finally be able to stand after two years of being paralysed. He also had Emily to be grateful for.Not only had she been patient with him for all these months, not asking him where he kept disappearing with her money until now, but she had also been the reason he was now on his feet.Now, he could finally leave the military rehabilitation centre to focus on the things that actually mattered— cultivating his strengths and making it up to his wife, Emily.Isabella’s face contorted from one of shock to pure disdain. It was almost like she didn't care that he was now on his feet. If anything, she appeared intimidated."Congratulations to you, Mr. Wright," she clapped, mocking him with her words. "You c
