Andrew started crawling out of the elevator while grasping his stomach.. Blood was coming out of his nose, and from the cut above his right eyebrow.
“I heard you can also use summoning magic. Why don’t you call a pet to help you?” Jake asked while smiling and staring down at Andrew. He glanced at Sebastian, but looked back at Andrew when he saw that his step brother was still unconscious.
“You definitely belong to the Dragons!” Andrew mumbled while still crawling away from Jake. “You’re not only a wizard…
“Yes, I am not,” Jake interrupted. “Because I am an Archmage.”
Jake grabbed Andrew by the collar and carried him to the large black door at the end of a long hallway. He raised his hand
“Do you have any last words, Drummond?!” Andrew asked while sneering and looking at Jake. “You wanted to meet my pet, right? Now meet Atlas and be a good food for him!”Ken held onto the wall and pushed himself up from being seated. His right hand, as well as two of his left ribs, were broken. He then weaved a hand sign using his left hand and Atlas, the three headed wolf, was suddenly engulfed with purple glowing magic armor. The creature roared once more and it was so loud that the whole place was shaken.“I must admit that you’re strong,” Ken said while struggling to even step forward. “I would like to see more of what you can do, but we have to end this here.”Jake nodded his head and smiled. “You too. Both of you were indeed very strong. I can prove that with this creature in front of us. And I can’t believe that Anthony got hold of this power in his hands.”“We the Vipers also have our own goals,” Ken replied. “We just work for the Smithsons for money. Money that we will be nee
Jake healed and woke Sebastian up. Then he asked him to go with him. Sebastian demanded an explanation on what happened, but he didn’t answer any of his questions. Instead, he just went directly to the 50th floor. It was the floor he saw when he read Ken’s memory after putting the man to sleep.There was only one huge office on that floor and when they went there, nobody was there. “Are you sure he’s here?” Sebastian yelled at him. “And tell me what happened?! The man with us in the elevator, where is he? And how come he has some magic power and stuff?!”He glared at him. “Can you please shut up for a moment?”“How can I just shut up? I don’t understand what’s happening!” Sebastian angrily replied. Jake sighed. “I’ll tell you everything after this. For now, look for Anthony. Okay? This is our priority! We have to catch him!”Sebastian screamed in frustration. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. “Call the boys, Jake. And tell them to help.” “Alright,” Jake replied. He called his
Every day, the number of unemployed citizens increased, causing the crime rate to rise as well. And the cost of basic necessities continued to rise, while newly discovered diseases spread quickly. Despite this, only the underprivileged were affected, while the rich and billionaires continued to gain power and wealth. Jake returned to his office with Sebastian. He hadn't even sat down when a tanned-skin woman dressed in formal office attire walked in and told him he had a meeting in five minutes. “Can we postpone that? It’s already late,” he said.The woman bowed before answering. “I am sorry, Young master. But this is urgent. The president and the board are expecting you there.”“Is that so? Alright. I’ll be there. I just need to wind up a bit,” he replied with a sigh. Then the woman bowed again, went out, and closed the door gently. “Maybe It’s about the inflation,” Sebastian suddenly said. “It has been affecting us since the beginning of the year and this month is the worst.”
“What happened in the Smithsons’?” Mr. Drummond asked Jake right after the board left the conference room. Jake looked at his father. "Anthony is looking forward to killing you. He still thinks that you’re the reason for his father’s death and he is determined to kill us all.”Mr. Drummond leaned his back on his swivel chair and sighed. “Then what did you do? Where is he now? And why is the police here?”“Anthony escaped,” Jake replied. “But I already asked someone to look for him. And as for the police, they are here to ask about Caroline’s kidnapping. Just let me take care of this.”His father sighed again, then looked straight at him. “Don’t mess it up. Don’t.”Jake smiled as he stood up. He then left the conference room without saying goodbye to his father. And just outside the room was Sebastian waiting for him.“Is this part of your plan?” Sebastian asked with a knitted brows. “No,” Jake answered and smirked. “But everything is going smoothly so let’s go with the flow.”“I sti
It was already late when Jake got home. He was holding his lower back when he entered the main door of the house and he proceeded to the kitchen to look for food. But there wasn’t anything in the fridge that he liked. So, he just went up to his room and changed into more comfortable clothes.And while removing his shirt, he noticed something on his stomach. It was a long horizontal scar just below his navel on the right side. He touched and examined it in the mirror. It was the spot where he was stabbed with a broadsword in Eldramoria. It wasn't there when he awoke from his coma, so he wasn't sure as to why it had suddenly appeared.Then he suddenly remembered the pain of being stabbed there. “What is happening?” he asked himself while still feeling the scar. There were a lot of questions running that he couldn’t find the answers to. He put on his shirt and sat on the edge of his bed, then dialed Mabelle's number. He could only think of her in relation to the video sent to the cops
Jake began his day early the next day. His father was nowhere to be found, so he was in charge of everything. From approving new marketing proposals to interviewing potential employees and investors for their company. But, while he worked on those, he directed his bodyguards to continue looking for Mabelle, whom he had been unable to reach until now. And he asked Sebastian to go to their secret laboratory and assist in the creation of the drug he proposed to the board of directors. Also, on that day, the news about the Smithsons’ Pharmaceutical Company boomed in the news and all social media platforms. Statements of Andrew and Ken were televised and broadcasted on radio stations, however their identities were hidden by the police. And reporters stormed Drummond’s head office. “Ah!” Sebastian grunted when he entered Jake’s office. “Reporters are still downstairs. They are like zombies that multiply every second!”“I told the guards to do something with that,” Jake replied. “Didn’t t
Jake got the address from Anthony and he immediately called Sebastian. He asked him to inform the police that they had contact with Anthony and that a journalist was kidnapped. However, he strictly reminded him that he shouldn’t tell the address unless he was told to do so. That is to avoid the police from storming the place and give him more problems.“Are you serious? You’re going there alone?” Sebastian shouted over the phone. “And who is this journalist for you to go there and save her?”“I am not going there to save her,” he replied. “I have to get some information about the Magic Society that Andrew and Ken mentioned. This might give us more information about them.”He heard Sebastian grunted.“Okay. I’ll do what you told me. I just want you to know that I already talked to someone from the bureau. And they said they will give you all the necessary permits to release the product to the public once it’s done,” Sebastian said.“Well, that’s good news,” he gleefully answered. “Grea
Jake frowned and took a step back from the monster in front of him. It was majestic, but the dread it instilled in the place was difficult to describe. Jake had faced a guardian monster before, but the overwhelming power of this high tier creature still tingled his spine. “Look at your face!” Eleazer said while sneering and walking towards him. “It seems that you saw a ghost!”He didn’t reply. He stepped back again as he sensed greater danger. He wanted to know the opponent’s next move first before he made his own move. “You know the Eldratome and you have the Aetherlock, you must know these kinds of monsters as well,” Eleazar continued. “And you know what they are capable of.”“How did you get a contract with this kind of monster? Andrew’s Atlas was understandable, but summoning an abyss guardian requires a lot of sacrifice and magic energy. This is forbidden magic!” he replied. Eleazar paused and burst out laughing. Then he formed a small purple sigil with his hand and tossed it
