Right before Alex's eyes, a glass coffin began to rise from the ground, through the rectangular hole that appeared on the ground.There was a woman dressed in a pristine white gown in the coffin, there were two dragon horns on her head, and her blonde hair was deep and immaculate. She was still decked in ropes of expensive jewels which were used to design her hair, and form a web like princess crown in her hair, just like that of ancient Chinese princesses. There was a single pendant on her neck and it was made of a transparent crystal, blue liquid was swirling around in it.She was holding a silver colored staff, with a sharp end, which was shaped like a sword blade. It was a staff, and also a sword. Her hands were holding the staff-sword on her belly while another bracelet, made of the same piece as her pendant was adorning her wrist. But she wasn't wearing any shoes. Her feet were fair and spotless, and her cheeks still rosy as if she was merely sleeping, instead of death.The pers

Eleanor stirred and the monitoring system beeped severally, recording the return of her conscious mind. There was a huge noise downstairs, giving her a pounding headache.She faintly remembered Alex attending to her, and his whispers with the woman on her bedside was still remembered.She could also faintly remember Aridan reporting something about an ongoing war, and Alex whispering things to her.There were sounds of helicopters stopping before the entrance portico to the main villa.“Damn! Stop talking already.” She whispered, closing her eyes.“Congratulations, Lord Luz!” “Welcome home, the winning team.” “Winner ooo ooo ooo, Winner. Winner oooo oooo oooo, Winner.”The annoying chants reverberated through the air as the men in the villa cheered the returning soldiers who accompanied Luz to command the troops at the war front, getting victory in just two days. It was one of the shortest battles in the history of international wars. The attacking team suffered a crushing defeat,

The question left everyone at a loss for words. Bing Yu Xue was especially embarrassed as she wondered how Alex would have introduced her assuming he was around.“Mom!” Ariella shouted in excitement, waving her fists.“She's the ba….” Aridan quickly covered her mouth with his palm to prevent her from saying more. She looked into Aridan's eyes and kept quiet, albeit resentful.Bing Yu Xue clenched her fists. It was obvious that Ariella was going to say something about her being the bad woman.Luz quickly got up, and went to her, taking her hand.“Mom, are you alright now?” He whispered with a gentle smile, looking up at her.Eleanor smiled with a hint of motherly Indulgence, and her scowl disappeared.“I heard you did well, I'm so proud of you. But you're too young to be doing such things. However, you're worthy of being emulated, you're the best son anyone could ever ask for, courageously rising to the occasion. If he sends you on an errand you don't want, you have to tell me, so we

The dining room had a solemn air as they mentally speculated what Alex was doing to her. It was obvious that she would be punished, most of them had never seen him so angry. The question was how? Bing Yu Xue felt a few people giving her murderous glares, and looked up. However, she didn't catch anyone looking at her. They were either eating slowly or discussing in hushed tones, the jovial air around them had almost totally disappeared. The more matured men among them dismissed the scene as that of a husband teaching an errant wife. He wouldn't do anything over the board, he would only correct her with love and teach her how to keep a family.“She is said to be stubborn, and Lord Dracula used to love her a lot and dote on her. She's the cause of her own misfortune. Besides, who expects such a powerful and excellent man as lord Dracula to keep only one woman? It would be a waste of his superior genes. She's just being immature and jealous.” one of the soldiers whispered to his neighbor

Tajana smiled and quickly covered it up before Alex could see it.“You accepted to be one of earth's protectors. There are diverse people on earth, so the evil will probably keep multiplying.”“Send out a team to comb the affected villages and surrounding towns, especially old temples and mountainous areas, just about anywhere a witch or sorcerer could be hiding. They should do it covertly, without being noticed by anyone, and report to me in thirty two hours. And as for you and your team practicing the shadow steps and shield of darkness, you should hang around in hospitals and plant microchips to trap sounds and real time videos of the surroundings, which will be broadcasted to the main tower. This will enable the men to pinpoint any anomalies. You should pay special attention to the offices of doctors, surgical rooms, and organ banks, they're the most likely place for their evil transactions. Also monitor the underground parking lots, personal parking lots for senior medical consul
