He blinked twice with narrowed eyes, his demeanor said it all and he couldn't help but inquiry:“How did you know all those? Huh?”The old man and Ethan had to give in to a few moments of charming smiles as they were anticipating him to at least ask.Everything seemed to be happening quite fast, though Michael had always sensed he was special but didn't understand how much of a special being he was and why he couldn't just be trembled by a human no matter how intimidating their voices or commands were.“Beautiful question…”“What do you think I used in saving you on that fateful night? What mixture of herbal medicine did you think I employed?”He gestured his two palms in anticipation; the old man already knew he wouldn't know but had to set his head in that thought direction.“At first glance, I knew who you were as it was the appearance of the half moon. I used a special herbal equipment only prescribed for the Shepherds-Heir, and it worked like spellbound.”“What you didn't know wa

The old healer continued after a conscious cough. “Most of them gave in to fear and pressure and made silly mistakes that brought about demeaning remarks from aggravated people who expected efficiency.”“Some were healed but got severely sick a few weeks later while some didn't recover due to the wrong herbal prescription.”There was no smidge of smile on the old healer’s face, he uttered those words as a stated warning for the new Shepherd to be cautious.During the communion in the largest room— his predecessors made mention of inward attention to instructions, and finally, he understood what that meant.He induced his senses in a swift response while grasping everything being taught thus far.“The answers in perfecting healing come from inward and you must disobey each line of statement no matter the pressure or aroused tension.”“Always consult the Angel force before embarking on any healing adventure— there are some patients you might be commanded not to heal and you must obey or

***Michael groggily exhaled and slowly widened his eyes and, within the speed of light, checked his wristwatch and it was 6:50 PM!A sudden palpitation set in while gluing his eyes to decode what the time was and when he realized he had more than eight minutes to exit the largest room, his heartbeat gradually resettled as it should.“What a beautiful day…” he yawned and paused in speech as a glimmer of images of his advanced communion at midnight flashed before his face.He vividly remembered all that The Angel force and his predecessors revealed to him and he understood how paramount it was for him to succeed.It was six minutes before the deadline time— he glanced at the several erected statues while beating his chest with his right palm with a smile on his face.He made it out of the room and walked a little distance before beholding the old healer and Ethan who nervously stood with their eyes set on his path.“Congratulations! You have passed your first training demands!”They ch

He sighed slightly and stared towards his cupboard to grab a glass cup. He had been thirty for quite a while, and the water dispenser was right beside his desk.He wasn't expecting any form of complications at the office, his mind was deeply rooted in his ongoing training.Within five seconds he gulped the first portion inside his throat and went for the second filling.Sheraton was still organizing her thoughts on how to present the bothersome issue to him.“Uh… mm… it seemed like the evil scheme against our winery wasn't completely wiped off.”She finally gutted out, those words had been stuck in her throat for over five minutes.Her expression stiffened the more, her fingers deliberately crossed which showed how the situation wasn't a bluffing matter.He was going for a third water filling when his hand abruptly hung in the air— he receded his right palm and dropped the glass cup on his desk.He blinked slowly and switched his neck towards her in slow motion as her last words kept

Michael sighed inwardly— while living with Augustine's family, he thought he had seen enough of pretentious masterminds.However, Jake had just shown he hadn't seen enough just yet— how he comfortably sat before him and dished out unsolicited lies just to appear as an angel.“You are nothing like your predecessor whose agenda was mainly to steal from the company's treasury. Thank Heavens he was sacked in time,” he mouthed once more without even considering the COO had a reason for summoning him in the first place.Michael smirked in his heart and mused: “As though you aren't the replica of him? Funny!”A thought came alive in his head, and he knew how exactly to handle the tricky sweet talker.“Ohhh, my predecessor? I've heard and seen photographs of you two. The story had it that both of you were best of friends. Really? Wow.”Michael's diplomatic words plunged into Jake's heart, and he gave out an abrupt cough, followed by a hasty heartbeat.For a few seconds, he lost his guard with
