Verella jumped from the 998th floor without a shred of hesitation. She went down through the clouds and crashed on a flying drone. Not stopping there, she jumped onto another flying drone in the distance. Her jumps were packed with power yet accurate. Her claws could dig through the tough metal the drones were built with.She signaled to the driver through the glass window to make a landing, or she wouldn’t hesitate to destroy the drone. The driver was forced to make a landing on the floating cobra institute.Verella thought the mages would come after her straight away, but to her surprise, all the flying drones were heading toward another direction in the city, from where she could feel vibrations coming in through the air.“Did some criminal escape the prison or something?” she wondered and looked at Myles who wasn’t crying even though he was bleeding from the ears. “I told you to shut your ears, didn’t I?”“I did,” he replied with a slightly angry expression.“Uh…” Verella looked a

The message was sent by Dave, and in less than a minute, all the eight alphas except Amir gathered at Duncan’s Tower. Ayan retreated from his fight and met them who were standing on the wings of a flying drone.Rosie wiped the blood from her mouth and was astonished to see the nine alphas together. “Can we escape from these guys, Mom?”Maria, however, was grinning as she looked up at the alphas that just jumped and landed around her and her daughter.“How could you kill Duncan who had done nothing but service to the city?” Alpha Lexi queried. She didn’t seem angry like most other alphas did. “How could you cause such a disturbance in our city? Don’t you have morals and conscience?”“You are Peacekeeper Lexi, aren’t you?” Maria turned to face her. “Your city has lost its lord, and none of you are rising up to take the cobra crystal and become the new city lord. Now, let’s be frank. Every other city is keeping an eye on you guys, hoping to get their hands on the cobra crystal. It’s just

In the library, Justin was looking around to see if he could find anything valuable other than the books; things he could shove in his pockets or underwear. After all, Shreya wasn’t around. And there was nobody else around, not counting Myles and Verella.Verella was reading a book about vampires, whereas Myles was on his knees and massaging her legs. She put her calves on top of both his shoulders and had this cheeky grin on her face. “Most men wouldn’t show as much interest in massaging a woman's legs as they would in licking them, but you are different. I’m liking you more and more.”Myles, however, didn’t show any reaction in his face. He still vividly remembered the time when a dagger had pierced his heart, and the words his wife Vreka had used in his last moments.He used to be weak to praise in his past life, especially when it was women that were praising him, but now, he knew better.“Why would a slave hesitate to massage his master’s legs?” Myles responded lately.“I wouldn’

All the wooden bullets struck Myles, or so it seemed for a second. But the bullets actually stopped millimeters close to Myles.“What the hell?” Amir got perplexed for a second. The bullets turned around and flew at Amir with triple the speed. He swatted them away with his hand and looked at Myles in surprise. “I see. So you were hiding your strength. Now I believe that you took my son out.” He raised his hand and clenched it. Spiky branches grew all around Myles and tried to impale him from every direction.Myles jumped into the air and dodged from the deadly attack.“Got you!” Amir raised his hands, and his fingers extended into branches and shot themselves at the target up in the air. “Ten Snake Threat!”Like living snakes, the ten branches rose up toward Myles at a great speed. Suddenly, Verella broke free from the forest binding her and slashed her claws at the ten wooden snakes and tore through them with effort.“Krgh,” Amir felt so much pain as if he lost his own fingers. He gr

“Impossible!” Amir couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Until now, nobody had ever broken out of his Grand Freezing like Myles just did.“You’re attacking me because I killed your son,” Myles stated. “I can understand that, but what did the students of this institute do to you? If killing them is justifiable, don’t you think I can justify your son’s death even more?”“Shut the fuck up!” Amir howled and recklessly attacked Myles with his bare fist. But it was stopped with just a mere finger. Amir’s face turned pale. His punch that could destroy a boulder into smithereens was blocked by Myles’ forefinger. “H-How’s this possible?”Myles looked into Amir’s eyes and saw his past. When Amir was a kid, his parents used to fight everyday, and then they would show all their frustration on him. They only had horrible words for him. Growing up, home was like hell to him. Maybe that was why he completely let his son Emery live however he wanted.“It’s important to give you children freedom,” Myle
