*****“Where is this guy? What’s taking him so long to bring back a mere fucking little human being to this young master?”Mason’s eyes were incredibly dark at this moment as he grumbled to himself.Due to the delay, he, someone who seldom remains at home, had been inside since he returned from where he went that morning.He had repeatedly envisioned all the torments he planned to inflict upon Ares, both physically, spiritually, and emotionally, once he was brought to him.Despite knowing that the addicted Jackal would have likely already consumed a significant portion of Ares's soul and vitality, he remained undeterred in his plans. In fact, he intentionally tasked Jackal with the mission in order to inflict torture upon Ares first before delivering him. “I won’t forgive that dude if he so much tries to finish that bastard. He should just not return to this place if he has done that.”Mason’s voice suddenly became darker as he recalled the countless mistakes that Jackal had be
*****In a living room enveloped in an eerie atmosphere that could only be noticed by someone with an extraordinary awareness, a lady was presently trying to sexually arouse a man, well, at least, that was what one would think if they were to see what Rebeca was doing to Mason right now if they had no idea that she was only ‘comforting‘ him If it were any other day, Mason's resolve to not view Rebecca as a sexual interest, to avoid jeopardizing anything that would make Olivia hate him, would have likely faltered. The current temptation would have overwhelmed him, leading him to actions he wouldn't have been able to resist. However, in his current state of pain, shock, and disbelief, he was too overwhelmed to even feel Rebecca's advances. ‘So, she wasn’t even a saint all along! Why did I fail to check if her yin energy was still there after the first few times of checking?!’‘Why did I choose to trust that bitch! Even slowing down my cultivation speed, due to the reduction of my
***** As soon as Ares opened his eyes, a dense and suffocating atmosphere emanated from them. Despite the stillness of the surroundings and the absence of wind, the trees suddenly began to shake violently, as if they were struggling to uproot themselves and flee. It did not stop there, the sudden presence was so heavy and oppressive to the extent that all the dead trees in the area directly shattered into powder and were blown away. This scene was so enchanting that it would have caused ordinary people to tremble and kneel in reverence to the heavens, believing it to be the work of a divine being if they had witnessed it. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on perspective, only a few birds and animals, already frightened into fleeing for their lives, along with Ares were present to witness it. In an instant, Ares, who had been lying motionless on the ground, hidden beneath dried leaves like a corpse shot up with an incredible speed that could not be seen with the eye. T
***** ‘To think that real extraordinary and extraterrestrial being really lives in this world as was always stated in movies.’ The more Ares felt the power coursing through and brimming in his body, the more astounded he became. Before today, although he understood that this world wasn’t as simple as it appeared, thanks to his healing pendant, Ares had never expected that it would be even more complicated than he had ever imagined it to be. Once again, he sighed. Ares was currently filled with immense excitement, but his only regret was still related to financial matters. Despite possessing immense strength and the ability to destroy anything now, he also had skills such as healing and formation crafting, which could sustain him. However, there was still a long journey ahead before he could fully monetize these skills, especially considering his current situation. This was what Ares was filled with when without warning, something that was being discussed more than twenty
***** “Brothers!!” Without slowing down at all nor minding his entire body that was already drenched in his sweat, Ares rushed toward his brothers and drag them back up just as they were on the verge of licking the shoes of Michael, who has a cocky and arrogant smile on his face at this moment as he looked down on the men as though they weren’t human beings, but of lower creatures. Nobody had expected Ares’s sudden arrival. Not his brothers, not Michael, not the dean, who was seated and currently ogling at Sarah, and not Sarah, who had been gleefully recording what was going on. “Third… third brother, is that you?” As soon as the two brothers felt Mark dragging them back, they looked at him, and immediately, as though they weren’t men, hot tears of injustice fell from their eyes. Ares’s heart ached greatly when he saw this and the hatred that had been gnawing away his heart intensified. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for arriving late!” He apologized right from the bottom of his hea
***** Ares found it extremely difficult to believe the revelation of what he just learned. He could still recall the scene of his brothers’ hellbent trying to lick Michael’s shoes. ‘So it was for me?’ He thought, powerful goosebumps covering his skin. ‘They… they would rather allow themselves be ridiculed, embarrassed, and made to lick shoes just because they want me, their little brothers to continue studying. This…” Before he knew it, Ares’s eyes became completely blurry with tears and he couldn’t make out even a single thing. He looked at his brothers, but then they sighed, seeing him like this. They knew that they couldn’t deny anything again. "Don't dwell on it too much, little brother. We, your older siblings, have outgrown the class we were in, anyway, and besides, you're much smarter than us, able to earn a scholarship from your freshman year to now, so it is only fair to give you this chance. You'll soon graduate and land a white-collar job, which will help take care of
***** “Master Robert, please come in sir, welcome to my office, sir.” Although the Dean tried as much as he could to act calm the moment he saw old master Robert walking in after the guard, he failed woefully and he sounded nothing more than a fanatic fan who had just seen his favorite celebrity. “Hmm.” Master Robert nodded his, showing no interest in exchanging pleasantries, knowing his master's sole concern was finding the grandmaster—a quest he had undertaken long before becoming his disciple. When the dean received his nod as a response to his warm and respectful greeting, he wasn't angry at all. No, he even became excited, as he had just received a response from Master Robert. A whole master Robert, one of the few people who stood at the top of the food chain in Rex City. The Dean’s level of excitement alone couldn’t be measured again. Despite his efforts to appear composed and refined in front of the old man, he couldn't prevent occasional trembles, betraying his inner t
*****Within the Dean’s office, all jaws were extensively dropped at this moment and all faces were etched with enormous disbelief.The place was so silent that if a pin were to drop at this moment, its sound would not only be loud, but it would also be clear.‘Grandmaster?’Everybody repeated in their minds, not knowing what to think or say.Even Ares was stunned beyond words.‘Was he not here to apprehend me? How could he still refer to me as a grandmaster?’ He was thoroughly confused. Meanwhile, Master Robert, who had brought about such a profound silence and shock, was equally astonished himself at that moment.The primary rule of the Order of Immortal Shield was to constantly maintain secrecy and never reveal their identities to the public, yet he had woefully forgotten this due to his massive excitement.His mouth fell agape, but then suddenly, an uncomfortable sensation crept over his skin. He trembled as he directly realized that it was induced by his master.He wis
