Vincy Martial Arts school...

The Grim Reaper has returned to the foot of the mountain and is sitting in a lotus position. He appears to be trying to continue his cultivation as he was close to having a breakthrough earlier, but his mind is too chaotic. He can't seem to concentrate.

He lets out a depressing sigh and opens his eyes, retracting his aura which had already built up. Simultaneously, he stands up with his hands to his back and glances around, taking in his surrounding.

"My Lord," a voice suddenly sounds and the next second, a young lad materializes behind him. He gets on one knee and bows.

"Get up and speak," without bothering to turn, The Grim Reaper orders.

"Yes, My Lord," the young lad obliges and rises to his feet. "I've investigated and found out what prompted Mr. Callahan's sudden appearance to the school."

"Hmm," The Grim Reaper hums. "Do tell."

"I fou...," For several minutes, the young lad takes his time to disclose to The Grim Reaper all he found, not leaving any d

    "Hmm." The Grim Reaper's eyes darken. After fucking another man and defiling his order but failing, Margaret had the guts to come back to this school. Does she really not take he, The Grim Reaper seriously?He taps his foot on the ground and instantly vanishes. The next second, he materializes in front of Margaret who was just about to open her door and walk in."Father," Margaret is taken aback by the The Grim Reaper's sudden appearance but she quickly composes herself and greets him with a bow."Hmm," The Grim Reaper hums, rather amused by Margaret's confidence to still refer to him as father after what she did. Nevertheless, he doesn't query her, instead he asks, "Where have you been?"Margaret's expression turns sullen. She sighs heavily and shakes her head. "Nowhere really. I've just been here and there. Vincy's death took a huge toll on me. I could barely sleep. I had to leave to get away from the hunting memories. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before leaving.""I must say you lie

    Margaret shudders and takes two steps backward, her eyes and expression filled with fear. "I don't know what you found out, fa... I mean Grim Reaper, but I did what I did because of your great-grandson. I went against your order to seek revenge for him because I couldn't stand seeing his murderer walking the face of the earth unscathed while he is six feet below. Since you couldn't do anything and wouldn't let any of us take any necessary actions, I had to leave and take matters into my hands.""Does that also mean sleeping with another man while you are mourning my great-grandson?" The Grim Reaper roars, glaring disgustfully at her.Margaret's legs give way and she drops to the floor on her knees. "Grim Reaper, please," she whispers, breaking into a cold sweat. "I did everything for your great-grandson!""Hahaha," The Grim Reaper laughs, quite amused. "You slept with another man for my great-grandson, how does that sound to your ears?"Margaret lowers her head without saying anything.

    Margaret instantly loses her balance as if struck by lightning and her face pales. "He... He came here looking for me?" She stutters, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Wait," she blurts as if recalling something. "Was he the one who broke down the school gate?"The Grim Reaper doesn't bother to respond to that question, instead saying, "It's quite surprising that he didn't come after you after leaving here." He tilts his head, as if in thought and after a while, looks back at her as he says, "That can only mean that he has decided to give you a chance to change your ways and stop sending assassins after him. You are lucky. If he wanted you dead, you would have been dead and even I wouldn't have had anything to do about it.""But why is it so, father? Why can't you do anything to him? He is just a pauper, how can you be so afraid of him?"The Grim Reaper glares at her for addressing him as father before shaking his head as he says, "What do you know? If he was really a pauper, would I be

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    INCIDENT OF YEARS AGO

    It's a bright sunny morning...An aged man adorned in black pants, a white shirt, and a black shade, emerges from Skygate International Airport. He strides purposefully towards a car seemingly waiting for him, and without a word, opens the backdoor and enters."Welcome, sir. Where to please?""Eve's Allure Emporium." The driver nods and steps on the gas pedal, zooming away.A short while later, a mysterious figure, dressed in black pants, a black shirt, and sporting a hat and shades, exits the airport, his phone glued to his ear."My Lord," he breathes, "I've just arrived at Opulence Heights with Mr. Smith. He has left for Eve's Allure Emporium."He nods to whatever the person on the other end said, drops back his phone into his pocket and scans his surroundings. "Hey," he waves at a driver standing in front of his taxi and probably looking for passengers.The taxi driver immediately enters his taxi and drives over to him. "Where to, kind sir?" He pops out his head and asks.Without a

    "Jordan Callahan?" Lorenzo is caught off guard. "Is there another Jordan Callahan in Opulence Heights besides my Lord?" He muses, placing his hand on his jaw.The driver's eyes widen at Lorenzo's words. Though Lorenzo was murmuring to himself, he had luckily heard a little of what he was murmuring. He can't help but fully turn to him as he asks in shallow breaths, "You know Jordan Callahan, and did you say he is your Lord? What do you mean by that?"Lorenzo shrugs. "You don't need to worry about that. The Jordan I know might not be the Jordan you were talking about. As you probably know, I'm a foreigner. I come from East Veridora and the Jordan Callahan I speak of is from there. He definitely can't be the one you are talking about.""That might not be the case," the driver shakes his head."What do you mean?" Lorenzo arches his brows at him."Well," the driver shrugs. "After the incident ten years ago, Jordan Callahan disappeared from Opulence Heights. If you know of a Jordan Callahan

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    IT'S NOTHING

    Jordan is Lorenzo's Lord and though he doesn't know the relationship between Jordan and the Callahans, one thing he is certain of is that Jordan protects his identity with everything he has. Probably, because he doesn't want the Callahans of Opulence Heights to find out his whereabouts. How then will he let a mere taxi driver ruin everything and leak Jordan's whereabouts to the Callahans, whoever they are?A killing intent flashes in his eyes and he clenches his fists. If the taxi driver is really bent on going ahead with his plan, he won't have any other option but to kill him.Feeling Lorenzo's killing intent towards him, the taxi driver shudders and breaks out in a cold sweat. "I won't do it! I won't, kind sir! Please don't kill me!" He yells frantically.Lorenzo stares at him and narrows his brows. "How can I trust you?""I'm just a mere taxi driver, kind sir, while you follow Mr. Callahan. I'm wise enough to know who to make an enemy. Please forgive me, I was overwhelmed by my emo

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    THE INVINCIBLE FOUR

    The taxi driver relaxes back into his seat and stares out of the car into the sky as if in thoughts. After a while, he looks at Lorenzo through the rearview and says calmly, "There are four top families in Opulence Heights, known as the invincible four. Since time immemorial or I should say since I came to know about them, these families have ruled and governed Opulence Heights. It is safe to say that everything in Opulence Heights revolves around them. And they own most of the well-known companies, hospitals, hotels, etc, in the county. "The Callahans are one of the invincible four. Nah, not just are they one of them, rumors have it that they lead the other three families. That can answer your question of how wealthy and influential they are."Though it is not a well known fact, I mean the remark of them leading the other three families, anyone can tell that that is the case as the Callahans have often given orders to the other families and they adhere."As for how powerful they are

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    HIS OWN EFFORTS

    Lorenzo is beyond shocked at the taxi driver's words. Never for once had it crossed his mind that Jordan might hail from such a formidable family. The discovery is scary as is the young man himself. He takes a deep breath to calm his nerves and remembering the last words of the taxi driver, sighs as he says depressingly, "I've followed him for the past three years and I'm only hearing about his family from you, a stranger, what makes you think he might ever consider to let me in on such sacred details?" Lorenzo really feels sad about this. Jordan is his Lord yet he can't boast of one thing he knows about him. If not for the taxi driver, he wouldn't have known that Jordan's family is this formidable. He wouldn't even have known about his family. Perhaps, could it be that Jordan doesn't trust him enough?"Don't take it that way," seeing through Lorenzo's misery, the taxi driver offers him comfort. "People like Mr. Callahan are not always free to disclose their identity. It doesn't mean

    Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me. When Isabella apologized to you, you didn't ask her to get on her knees. Why are you asking me to do that? What are you trying to achieve?""Achieve? Hmph!" Jordan snorts. "I choose how I want anyone to apologize to me. It's late, and I need to leave. Are you apologizing or not?""I can only apologize to you while standing; I'll never kneel to you," Henry grits his teeth."What if I insist?" A menacing aura suddenly bursts out of Jordan, and he grabs Henry's shoulder, applying force."Ah!" Henry cries out, his face distorting. "What are you doing?!" he barks."Kneel!" Jordan bellows, applying more force.THUD!J

    GET ON YOUR KNEES

    Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened. She can't help feeling bad for asking the question."I'm sorry," she whispers."It's fine," Jordan offers her a small smile. "You did nothing. Let's just continue eating."Back at the hall...Somehow Henry and Isabella has managed to consume a quarter of the order. For an order that took three tables, that in itself is a commendable feat. At this moment, Isabella is sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat.Though there's AC in the room, it's as if nothing is touching her. Her naturally flat tummy appears to have broken its record today as it is now protruding. Beside Isabella, Henry is in a similar state, just that he is gasping so much, almost as if he can't breathe.For the first time, he believes the adage that says wha

    I BROKE A BANK

    "What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?" Isabella asks, staring at the burly men in confusion."Our general manager instructed us not to let any of you leave until the food and wine on the round table are cleared.""What?" Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir. It doesn't matter who you are, so yes.""Fine, wait until I send for my family guards!" Henry glares at them and reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.However, before he can do anything with it, the phone is swiftly snatched from him."I'm sorry, sir. But that is not allowed. You can only start eating now or remain here even after the resta

    NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE

    Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this. The Jordan she divorced days ago was just a penniless man, one she and her family saw as a liability, which resulted to the divorce. How did he become so wealthy in the blink of an eye? Is she dreaming?She pinches herself to be sure before staring back at the screen. Seeing the numbers still blatantly visible on big screen, she can't help but inhale sharply.She was not dreaming. It's actually real. Jordan really paid the bills. He actually forked out 2.4 billion! She freezes.For a while, a heavy silence hangs in the air before the room b

    WHAT?!

    "What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all! Hah, he has no money and he made such a scene. How infuriating.""Well, I'm

    GOLD CARD

    "Why will I?" Jordan retorts, rolling his eyes. "Please order away! Don't hold back!""Jordan," Natasha, not being able to help it, tugs at his shirt. "They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!" Natasha slams her hand

    PLOTTING AGAINST HIM

    Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

    SCULPTED PALATE

    "Let's sit here," finding a table close to the window, Jordan says and draws out a chair, gesturing like a perfect gentleman,"Please sit, My Lady."Natasha rolls her eyes and mouths a soft "thank you" before taking her seat."You are always welcome, My Lady," Jordan smiles and walks over to the other side, also taking his seat."Welcome to Sculpted Palate, one of the best restaurants in East Veridora, dear prestigious customers. "Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

    LET'S GO IN

    "Mr. Callahan, have you found what it is you forgot? What was it though?" As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot. It's a good thing you decided to allow love blossom between you. "You guys look so good together, almost like a match made in heaven! I can't wait for your wedding invitation!"Jordan stares at Natasha, whose cheeks are now as red as fr
