***** With her head ringing hysterically and her eyes wide open, Shana gaped at Alex in shock as the soldiers shielded him from all sides as if they were scared something would touch him. No matter how much she thought or what possibilities crossed her mind, she refused to believe them. At this moment, she had already forgotten everything that almost occurred not long ago. Poor her. She continued gaping at the soldiers who finally started heaving deep sighs of relief only once they were eventually certain that nothing was of threat to Alex, there then she saw as they apologized profusely to Alex, about how they came late. “Nah, you shouldn’t be sorry. Weren’t you already very fast enough?” She saw Alex respond dismissively, resembling a very nice young master of a powerful family. ‘Could Cliff achieve a feat like this? Commanding more than twenty powerful military men and making them heed his will?’ Shana hurriedly denied the thought as she knew it wasn’t possible. Then
***** From that day on, life assumed a predominantly tranquil demeanor for Alex.Upon waking up each morning, his breakfast would have already been prepared by Dami, and after they both ate, Dami would drive him to school.In school, Alex's classmates still frequently mocked and taunted him, though the frequency had dwindled since... although Alex didn't display it at all intentionally or not intentionally, it was evident to all that things had undergone a slight alteration for him, that resulted in a massive reduction in the manner in which they treated him.Furthermore, he and his class President, Jewel, had grown closer, engaging in regular conversations via phone within the classroom, even during lectures. Hence, observing their class President, who had seldom grinned in the past, perpetually beaming now, no longer elicited surprise from the entire class.On the contrary, Cliff had been absent from school for several days due to reasons known only to himself. While everyone was in
****Alex no longer wears the previous smile on his face anymore.Instead, he could be seen gazing emptily before him with a contemplative expression on his face, and still drifting aimlessly right before him was the young man.Still perspiring profusely, the young man who had never expected to encounter something like this in his life prayed fervently in his mind that Alex wouldn't eliminate him.Back to Alex.He was currently recalling everything the young man before him had just shared with him not long ago.According to the young man's words, he was a member of an organization that undertakes tasks as long as they were compensated with equal prizes.He mentioned that had someone contacted his superior just a few days ago, for them to gather all the information they could about Alex, and since he goes to the same school as Alex, the task had naturally been assigned for him to carry out. But due to his unfortunate luck, he hadn't found any leads since that day.Well... that was unti
***** By the time Alex was finished there, even the manager of the boutique had already come to see him, as that was the first time a rare item was sold since the branch was opened. He even wished to present Alex with a VVIP card in case there was a next time he desired to purchase something, which was when they discovered that Alex was, in fact, their boss. After a considerable amount of flattery and sycophantic words, Alex finally departed from the boutique with his purchased item and went home. Upon returning home, he indulged in his sumptuous meal, which had already been prepared by Dami before he arrived, and packed into a warmer by her. Then the two engaged in a lengthy discussion, with Dami doing most of the talking before she eventually departed for her residence, and Alex retired to his room. As usual, immediately after Alex cleansed himself and changed into his pajamas, he assumed a meditative position. However, tonight, he refrained from cultivating anything;
***** The following day, Alex was awakened by a call from an unidentified number, which he promptly answered in a drowsy and semi-conscious state.Although Alex was now a powerful and overpowered cultivator who could go for several days without any sleep, he didn't want to deprive himself of one of the things he had lacked most in the past. Therefore, he always made an effort to get as much sleep as he could each night.Stretching his arms lazily, Alex connected the call. But as soon as he heard the words uttered by the caller's urgent voice, his eyes snapped open, and all the traces of drowsiness in them and his body vanished into the thin air. After a brief pause, he furrowed his brow and inquired, "Are you certain about this?"With only Alex hearing what the caller was saying as the call wasn't on a loudspeaker, he instinctively nodded his head, momentarily forgetting that he was on the phone. But fortunately, he didn't forget to voice his response, or else, the caller wouldn't
***** At first, Alex was shocked and confused by what the lady resembling Succumbs had just stated, but after a few moments, he understood everything, especially the second part of her words, which instantly made him feel somewhat sentimental. According to what he understood from her sentence, the guy he had caught the day before, whom he had tasked to find the people after himself, the one who had called him that morning to inform him of all his findings, was already discovered and killed, which was why the four of them whose power was... something that made Alex frown upon came to him. ……. Presently, as if Alex was just a mere ant to them, the three men encircling him ignored him disdainfully while the lady only flashed him a somewhat mischievous and flirtatious smile as if she found him extremely intriguing, to which Alex didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry about. Before he met them face-to-face, Alex had been excited that he would be facing off against his first cultivat
***** There was a particularly highly favored four-star restaurant to the middle-class patrons, situated in a quieter area within Potters City. Normally, the most expensive cars owned by the customers that visit this restaurant are between 2 to 3 million dollars BMWs and they are usually owned by civil servants & salary earners. Because of this level of wealth, the owners of these cars mostly receive envious gazes from the other customers and the besttreatment from the restaurant's workers. To comprehend how this restaurant catered exclusively to the middle class and was a luxury for lower-income individuals, there were many days when, even though the entire restaurant was packed with diners, there would be no luxurious cars in the parking lot. However, tonight was an exception, causing a profound astonishment amongst all the employees. With their hearts unable to settle, they observed as one luxury vehicle after another, which they could only dream of seeing in their entire lifet
***** Right now, Alex's gaze has once again returned to the lion that was still eagerly enjoying its 'feast,' but he doesn't even know whether to be angry with it or not.Although his emotions were definitely anything but calm at the moment, Alex understood perfectly well that the Lion had done no wrong since it was clearly in its nature to consume and only feast on things with flesh and blood.In fact, who would even blame it if it was in its territory and preyed on anything it wanted? Nobody.To this, again, Alex's murderous intent suddenly rises, and immediately, he glared fiercely at the body, which was already lying dead on the floor before him, and then he abruptly regretted it greatly.'I should have given him a dose of his own medicine so that he would have also felt the great agony and torture the people he had fed to the famished lion had gone through before they lost their lives.Knowing that it was already too late for regret, Alex once again glanced at the cage and sho
