Jake was unable to sleep last night, so he woke up tired and with black bags under his eyes. He couldn't believe what his father had said to him. He even insisted on speaking with him last night, but his father told him that he would not accept visitors and that he should wait.
Actually, he was a jumbled mess of emotions. He was overjoyed that the company his father adored would be transferred to him. It had previously been an impossible dream, which was why he couldn't contain his excitement when he heard what his father said last night.
He was, however, saddened when he learned of his father's condition. He knew he was mad at him for making his life miserable and for not giving him the young life he deserved, but he felt a twinge of pain when he heard his father groan in pain.
“Am I this so
Three days after the Mr. Drummond’s death, his funeral was held. His sudden death was put on the news and became a number one topic in all the social media platforms. Despite Mr. Drummond's popularity, influence, and wealth, no one from his family attended his funeral except Jake, Caroline, and Sebastian. And the rest were their employees. Jake wasn't surprised because, as far as he could remember, his father had cast aside his relatives whom he thought would impede his progress a long time ago.After the funeral service, only Jake, Caroline, and Sebastian remained in the cemetery.“I’ll be going now, big brother,” Caroline said, her eyes were puffy, and her nose was red. Jake turned to face his sister and hugged her. He said nothing, he just hugged her tightly. Caroline then gestured goodbye and walked away with her bodyguards. Sebastian called her to say goodbye, but she didn't look back and kept walking, leaving him with a downturned head. “She must hate me a lot,” Sebastian c
Jake struggled as he was trying to free himself from the smoke tentacle wrapped around his neck. He tried his best to control his breathing so as not to pass out and die. He couldn’t believe that he would get caught easily. “Just stop struggling. The more you struggle, the tighter that tentacle will get,” Amore said with a huge grin on her face. She continued to move her hands to control the tentacles to penetrate the mystic barrier completely. The seven tentacles kept on jabbing the barrier with their sharp, pointed ends. And Jake couldn’t do anything but maintain the mystic barrier, or else he would be pounded until he was nothing but pulp.“Rumors said you’re strong, but I guess those rumors were just untrue,” the woman said. Then she cast a spell that made the tentacles longer, thicker, and stronger. And she controlled them to keep pounding on the mystic barrier. Those poundings made very loud banging sounds, and after some time, the shield started to crack until it completely
Dimension exchange magic was one of the most important magic to master. This type of magic has the potential to determine the outcome of a fight or even a war. However, only a few could master or even use this type of magic, and it could only be used once per day because it drained a lot of magical energy.Jake's dimension, Void, was one of the most feared dimensions in Eldramoria, and only he and his master could master it. Jake knew a lot of dimension magic and could use some at the same time, but for the time being, he could only pull off the void.“How did you that? How did you stop my magic?!” Amore shouted as she dragged herself away from Jake.“I thought you heard rumors about me, you should’ve
Jake instructed Sebastian to secure the floor and ensure that no one went there. Then he summoned Archris and asked him to join him. And that very night, they examined Amore’s body together.Jake healed the woman's body perfectly prior to her death, so her body appeared normal. However, using Archris' magic, they saw the woman's brain burst like it had been shot by a high-caliber gun.“Is there an entry somewhere in her skull?” Jake asked.“No. I can say that the damage started in the center of her brain. It exploded like a tiny nuclear bomb,” Archris replied.Jake sighed and walked over to the refrigerator. He took a can of beer and drank it all at once. He closed his eyes before crushing the can in his hand.“This is another forbidden magic. But how in the world did they get their hands on this?” Jake asked. “This world was not created with magic. So, where the hell did these powers come from?”“I also ask the same question, Professor.”“Then I learned that Dragon can grant magic pow
The normal routine at Drummond Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Corporation returned to normal the next day. As if nothing happened and the smiles on the faces of the people there already came back. Sebastian and his group started roaming around the building area. Also, he ordered the security to be more strict with the people coming and going out of the building. Even to the employees. They made sure that they were really registered in their database before they could enter the premises. They also stopped receiving visitors in their office. Jake asked Sebastian to assign a place where their personnel could meet their clients or visitors. Many asked questions about these sudden security restrictions, but they just told them that they were for the safety of everyone, especially now that the crime rate in the city has reached its peak. It was already late afternoon, and Jake had just finished meeting with a client. He went directly to the conference room for a scheduled meeting with the
Jake called Archris again and ordered him not to fight as of now. He wanted them to just watch over what was happening and save, if they could, some people’s lives. Then he ordered Sebastian to take care of the building, no matter what. “I already saw you fight,” Jake said. “I believe you can protect this building together with our bodyguards. But if you face a magic wielder, don’t engage. Run and hide.” Sebastian grimaced and walked in front of him. “I’m not a coward like you used to be, and I know what to do! Just make sure you go now, because I’m already worried about Caroline!” He exhaled and stretched his neck. “Alright!” He moved his hand as he cast a teleportation spell. Then bright orange sigils appeared beneath and above him, and in an instant, he disappeared from his office. And that left Sebastian with his mouth open and confused. Jake arrived in his room at their mansion. He heightened his senses and enhanced his physical strength with magic. Then he slowly opened his
Jake cast a binding spell on the one with the gun and the one with the long hair. Then he walked in front of the huge, bald man.“Don’t you remember me, huh?” the man with a scar asked while grinning and glaring at him. “For sure you know me, you dumb kid!”He stared at the man as he tried to remember him. The man’s face was really familiar, but he couldn’t tell where he saw him.“I am Rex Allen,” the man introduced himself, then groaned as he pulled himself up to sit up. “And I was the top pharmaceutical scientist in your father’s laboratory. I was behind some of the greatest drugs that he released, but he took all the credit, and I took all the blame.”He paused for a while as he kept on staring at the man. Until he remembered an incident when he was a child where there was a scandal involving a certain drug from their company that killed hundreds of people.“Your face is telling me that you recalled something,” the man said. “Aren’t you disgusted to live in this luxury because your
“Listen, Sir Rex. I sincerely want to help you,” Jake said while looking straight into the man’s glaring eyes. “But if you’ve decided to continue this, then I’ll have no choice but to fight back.”Rex laughed. He stood in a fighting stance, stretching his neck from left to right.“Ah, don’t listen to him, Rex. We have decided to rule this city after this,” Will said while aiming the gun at Jake, ready to fire.“That’s right, hulk! We are now more powerful than before. We can get anything we want!” Jason seconded.“This must be the result of the mutation experiment Christine told me about,” Jake thought to himself while casting to repair his mystic barrier. “This is a problem. I hope he didn’t give this drug to all the prisoners!”A police siren was suddenly heard. It was far, but it was getting louder gradually.“Ah! The pests are here!” Will said. “How many police officers does this city have? They keep coming even though we keep on killing them!”“Mr. Rex,” Jake called the huge man.
