THE NEXT DAYAs early as 6am, Elijah could be seen inside his room. He was seated on the ground with his crossed in each other and his two hands on his laps.His eyes were closed as he meditated, channelling his energy.He was so focused so Isabella didn't disturb him. She did her normal routine and waited for him to be done with his meditation.After about thirty more minutes, he was done, so he took his bath and got ready for the medical competition.Hank and Dracula followed behind Elijah and Isabella as they left the hotel premises. Hank drove them to the venue where the competition would be taking place and as expected, countless cars were parked at the parking lots.Hank had to park the car outside the venue because there was no other place to park the car.As they stepped out of the car, Isabella's heart was beating instead. She wasn't the one participating in the competition, yet, her heart was beating faster than that of Elijah who is the one participating in the competit

SHANGHAI TEMPLE Inside the temple seated a man who was meditating.His two legs were crossed on each other and his eyes shut. He relaxed himself so as to allow the flow of energy through him.He was still meditating when the door to the temple where he was opened, but that didn't stop him from meditating.“ Boss,” a masculine voice called from behind.“ Boss” the voice called again, catching the attention of his boss, whose eyes opened but flashed gold at first before changing back to brown colour.“ What is it?” His boss stopped meditating and turned to him.“ I fear there is bad news” his lips began to quiver as he spoke.“ Spill it out or else you want your head rolling on the ground” his boss hates slow people and he loves his things being precise and simple.“ Rowan was killed alongside twenty of our men” the man said, and almost immediately anger flashed through his boss’s face.“ Who did that?” “ Elijah West. He is no ordinary man, and he also sent you a message” the man said

Elijah kept watching the fighting scene between Isabella and the midnight assassins.Seeing that Isabella was about to kill all the midnight assassins she brought, Nora raised her already blazing sword at Isabella without her notice, but a sudden strong wind sent her flying across the road. She groaned and raised her head to look at who it was. It turned out to be Elijah. He was glaring daggers at Nora.“ Lord…Lord of the Seven Heavens?” Nora stuttered and flew away from the scene immediately.Isabella turned around to see Elijah behind her. She was so surprised but at the same time scared.“ I am sorry I didn't tell you” was the first thing that left her mouth. She knew she didn't deserve to be forgiven since he found out that way, but she was left with no options other than to spill out the truth.“ I am ready to tell you the whole truth,” Isabella muttered, her gaze on the ground.“ I will only listen to the truth, if you return with me to the hotel” Elijah said and turned to lea

“ Puzzle is completed now” Elijah smirked and rested back on the sofa as his smirk turned into a sly smile.“ What are you going to do, Young master?” Hank asked, his gaze on Elijah who still had the sly smile on his lips.“ Since he wants to eliminate me, I will be a bait for him.” Elijah said but Isabella's hand held his arm, her eyes pleading.“ Don't go, Master Xi'an is a very dangerous man, who would stop at nothing to eliminate you. He has the Lotus poison ready so that he would kill you with it” Isabella pleaded as tears dropped down her eyes.She knew what her master was capable of doing, and just by the thought of it, her heart beat began to race loudly.“ Put your mind to rest Isa, I am no easy man either” Elijah assured but his assurance didn't sit well with Isabella as she fidgeted with her nails nervously.“ Since you will go as bait, we would be your backup” Dracula offered but Elijah shook his head.“ I don't need you or anyone to be my backup. This is my fight against

“ What if someone comes in?” Isabella whispered with her hands around Elijah's neck.“ This is my office, no one can come in without my permission” Elijah smirked before leaning closer to Isabella.They were about to kiss when the door to Elijah's office opened, revealing Hank with a cup of coffee.Elijah rolled his eyes while Isabella burst into laughter. “ Did I interrupt anything?” Clueless Hank asked as he looked at both Elijah and Isabella.“ No, you didn't” Isabella took the opportunity to stand up from Elijah's lap.“ Okay, if you say so” Hank smiled and faced Elijah.“ I am sure he must be suspicious about you, what do you think will happen next, Young master?” Hank asked, looking directly at Elijah.“ Since he is suspicious of me, I bet he would want to make a move before I do” Elijah nodded as he swung around his swivel chair.“ How I wish I could be as nonchalant and care-free as you're” Isabella smiled looking at Elijah who seemed care-free like he isn't the one whose lif
