Boom!Austin tumbled on the ground, his face bruising against the hard shards of glass and metals. “Dammit.” He spat out the blood that gathered in his mouth as more trickled all over his face.Behind him, the lady at the sixth stage of cultivation also rolled on the ground like a broken doll, and she looked even more pathetic than Austin.“Sh-shit.“ Her face darkened, after being hit by the shockwave from a moment ago.Several seconds earlier, she had caught up with Austin a bit in a dishevelled state after taking care of her obstacles. She was just a few centimetre from killing Austin when the shockwave came from nowhere.Austin, who still lay on the ground, glanced back. His eyes wandering in different directions as he tried to ascertain the source of the perilous shockwave.However, he didn't have to stress his head too much as the answer soon revealed itself.A suffocating presence that felt like the arrival of lord death enveloped the entire surrounding, including Austin and th
“Father!”“Father…” Jay yelled as he pushed the door before him with all he got.The sound of the door hitting the wall behind it boomed throughout the passage as Jay barged into his father's office.“Huh?” Jay's father looked up, his forehead creasing.His narrowed eyes sent chills down Jaya spine. However, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the sea of hot saliva in his mouth.His back was drenched in sweat, and his chest rose and fell as though he just saw a ghost. “Is something on my face?” Jay's Father, President Julius II muttered in a husky and crispy voice.“N-no.” Jay involuntarily took a step back.“The… Harl, group.''“I just got the news now that they've been destroyed.” Jay gritted his teeth and got all he had in mind in one breath.“And? You thought I wouldn't have heard about that before you did?“ President Julius frowned, his forehead creasing with folded skin.“I-” Jay found himself driven to a corner, his mind blanking off as he wondered what he should say.“I thoug
Clamour and chatter lingered in the air as the bunch of crowds engaged in different conversations.The large hall where they were holding the event beamed with bright light and the smell of perfumes mixed with body heat invaded everyone's nostrils. A group of reporters could also be seen at every corner of the room, as they fought their way to interview the business and political moguls.One could also see flashes of camera as each cameraman readied their tool to capture one of the iconic events at the global level.“Attention everyone, let's welcome one of the prestigious prodigies out there to officially begin this event.” The host vibrant voice travelled across all corners.“In person of Jay Hopkins, the son of the States' President.'Weehuu!People's cheers and resounding applause resonated in the hall upon hearing the announcement. This continued for some seconds before the noise eventually died down.Everyone held their breath in utmost silence as they watched the familiar figur
“The Blake family?” The security guard furrowed his eyes, his forehead creasing with uncertainty.Low murmurs spread like the evening breeze, reaching everyone's ears as each person tried to make sense of the new revelation.'This is bad.' Jay clenches his fist, his heart sinking with apprehension.'Why would the Blake family suddenly make an appearance here, of all places?' He thought, his face darkening with every fleeting moment.“What nonsense are you yapping about, huh?” The guard cocked his gun, but he knew better than to pull the trigger.He had never heard of the Blake family before, they weren't even on the top richest family on the official list, so who could they be? However, his years of experience as a VIP guard told him not to act rashly.He could read this person's body movements like the back of his hands. The young man before him appeared relaxed. He didn't even say much since the whole ruckus started. He just stood there as though the people around him didn't matter.
“Austin is fine.” Austin shrugged, walking towards the middle of the hall, while Jay followed closely behind him.“Your punishment has yet to be removed, by the way. “ “You and your father disobeyed my command.”“Your command?” Jay halted in his tracks as he tried to make sense of what Austin meant.“I'm… we're sorry… we never received any command from-”“What's your relationship with Sarah?” Austin glanced back with a sharp glint.Upon hearing that name, Jay sucked in a long breath. He felt his stomach twist, and his heart stopped beating for a second. He didn't need further information to know where Austin was heading to. Otherwise, he himself would agree with his father over how stupid he was.“That was an oversight from my part.” Jay dropped to his knees as cold perspiration flooded his suit. 'Shit, why didn't I think of this when I received that message.' Jay bit his lips, his face twisting in regret.Only a few would have the gut to hack into his device and also leave threaten
“You scoundrel.“ Julius grabbed his son and slammed him on the wall.“Argh!“ Jay groaned as he struggled to escape his father's onslaught. However, his strength couldn't compare.“Do you know the sin you've just commited?“ Julius roared, his hands tightening around jay.“A third of the nation's reserve is gone just like that because I trusted a fool… why must you take after your stupid mother over me, why?“ Julius glared at his son, his face flashing every second with dozens of negative emotions.“Father… you should take it easy, after all, everything happened at gun point.“ Jay's cousin, Albert chided in.“Hmph.“ Julius threw jay aeay like a broken doll followed by a disgruntled snort.“That bastard.“ Julius clenched his fists, his entire body squirming in rage.Albert watched from one corner, his eyea eventually falling on Jay who laid pitifully on the floor. Blood trickled from his skull and jaw, and his battered face was hidden under torn muscles.Even Albert hadn't seen Julius th
''Your promotion is already in progress,'' Manager Tom muttered, his hands flipping through the bunch of papers on his desk.Upon hearing this, Austin's heart couldn't help but quiver, realizing what that meant.He had been working for this delivery company for about half a decade now, and not even for once was the talk of promotion ever brought up.He watched as Manager Tom's round eyeglasses fell to his big nose bridge, as he pushed it back to his face.''Your next delivery is in an hour, make sure you get the job done perfectly.'' Manager Tom raised his head, his eyes finally meeting Austin's.''Remember, the item belongs to one of our VIP clients, and I assume you know what that means…'' the bald manager said, his eyes knitting with underlying intentions.''Yes, boss,'' Austin replied with a slight bow.''Good.'' Manager Tom nodded.Having nothing to do in the medium-sized office any more, Austin headed to the door, his face plastered with a big grin.Bam!Manager Tom's eyes locke
lAustin stood there, rooted to the spot, his heart pounding against his chest with every striking moment.‘’W-what’s going on here?’’ He stammered, his voice barely audible, getting drowned in the cacophony of pleasure and ecstasy that filled the room.However, his ashen face and the bulging veins on his arms spoke volumes.‘’Uh?’’ Oscar, the tall, well-built man who pinned Lana to the wall, arched his brows.His tongue remained in Lana’s mouth. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man who appeared to be a statue.Yet, seeing the figure in a delivery man's uniform, his knitted brows relaxed, making him snicker.‘’Baby, what if I tell you that I have something more special prepared for you…’’ Oscar caressed Lana, making her body shiver as though his hands were wrapped in a tiny electric current that coursed through her skin.‘’No, that can’t wait for later. It’s you I crave now,’’ Lana whispered, but her voice soon trailed off, realizing that they had a guest in the room.‘’H-how
