[Cultivation Successful – You have reached the Second Gate.]These are the words that appeared in front of Daemon as soon as he opened his eyes again. Unlike what he thought, he wasn’t able to stay awake that evening. The sudden change that happened to his body’s state is so great that, it’s forced to shut down. Something which became even easier when he began his attempts to meditate.The path that he took, the one beyond the gates of fire, is scorching hot. Every step he took is made with his bare feet – his skin coming into direct contact with this burning sensation no matter what he does. There are flames everywhere and the sound of crackling from things that are set ablaze.Daemon can also smell the faint scent of something burning. Flesh, skin, and hair. All of these being burned from the surroundings though he does not see anything resembling a human nor a beast that’s caught in flames. Though all of these are bad enough to make him wake up again, he didn’t. Daemon remained in

Christian rode on a one of his father’s many Lamborghinis. A Miura P400SV which his father doesn’t even bother trying to hide in the garage. Flaunting it the same way that two other bodyguards in the front and back of this car are both driving top of the line BMW motorcycles.As for the car itself, it isn’t Christian who’s driving it. His father hasn’t given him permission after the last stupidity he performed where he crashed one of these prized cars of his father. He hasn’t been able to drive since because, these cars are also equipped with cameras. Showing who it is that’s driving.“What’s the schedule looking like today Bernard?” He asked as he looked out the window/“You have your orchestra practice at eight, young master. After that you’ll meet with the council to deliver the report on the expenses from your own private club. Next are your classes in foreign language and – ”“Boring.” Christian cut Bernard before the butler could finish talking. “Can’t I just go to a bar or some

Yvonne and Desmond continued their meeting for a whole hour. Within this period, they polished every part of the agreement between them. There are a couple of gray areas that’s been left out during their first encounter. Stuff that Yvonne purposefully left out in hopes that Desmond won’t catch up to her slyness. But that didn’t work the way she wanted it to.Desmond turned everything around and, even pushed her to her limits. So much so that there are new clauses that have been added to the agreement. Things that are only beneficial to Desmond’s party. Showing just why it is that he’s able to build such a reputable organization all on his own and, from the ground up.Compared to him, Yvonne is nothing more than a pup who thinks she’s queen of the world. That idea’s now shut down. Ruining her mood as this moment will forever be carved into her memory. And to make things worse, there’s the teen named Daemon who looks similar to the Daemon she knows. One who witnessed all of these as wel

Christian stood there for a while longer. He watched as the chopper went away from the Academy. The strong wind continuously hit him and the sound is sharp and painful to the ears. But these things don’t matter to the teen who’s still caught with the rage that’s been planted within him. A seething rage that began to grow uncontrollably like a wild beast.When the sound of the helicopter began to die out, that’s the time that Yvonne approached him. She’s been there for the whole of this ordeal. Right as soon as Christian and Daemon spoke with one another, she’s already there in the background. Watching.Though she doesn’t seem to be a mere spectator because, when the conversation reached its end, she could swear she saw Daemon spare her a glance. And as this happened, the teen flashed a soft grin on her. Making her heart skip a beat for some reason. A sensation she’d never acknowledge because of the difference in position and standing between her and the aforementioned teen.Besides, t

A week’s passed since Daemon’s visit to the Academy. During this time, Daemon spent his days in continuous training. Making sure that his body and his mind are both trained to their maximum and, making sure that they’d be in sync. He can’t have one or the other being delayed because, he wouldn’t be able to fight to his fullest as he’ll be forced to hold back on one or the other.More than these two however, Daemon continued training in the art of internal energy control. The one thing that he’s got to maximize to its utmost potential because of the thing that will await him in the [Black Market]. The Viper Gang. Daemon’s been told that they would make an appearance there because, the [Black Market] in itself is managed by this gang.This is all the more reason as to why Yvonne needs escorts. Before, it would be more than enough to have Haze, Grant and Gerald leading the way inside then Black Market. Them being part of this underworld organization gives them and their guests a certain
