Sebastian sighed while sitting on a couch, and he had his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was glaring at Jake and Caroline while waiting for an explanation of what happened. According to him, the two were unconscious for three weeks, and doctors couldn’t tell what happened to them.Jake explained everything to him in the simplest way possible. Though he himself couldn’t understand what happened, and why was it only his and Caroline’s bodies left in the world they were in now when they went to Eldramoria.Sebastian then explained to them what happened during the time they were unconscious. The city suddenly became peaceful, though curfew times at night were still up. After that, he stood up and took some folders from his table and put them in front of Jake. Those were financial and sales reports, and it showed that they lost millions in just three weeks that Jake was away.“The lab and the warehouse were all empty,” Sebastian said with a serious face. “I mean, we have stocks, bu
Jake asked Archris to bring Mikhael to him. Then he went to their company’s laboratory and warehouse to cast magic on the ointment and supplements there. It was just easy work, and it didn’t take an hour for him to finish everything there.After that, he received a message from Archris. It was the address where he could meet Mikhael, a phone number was included there, but he wanted to see what kind of person Mikhael was, so he decided to pay him a visit.Together with Jonas, Gary, and the rest of his bodyguards, he stormed an old building, which Archris mentioned in the address and details he sent. The neighborhood where the building was imposing had a dark aura. Houses and shops needed repairs. People were quiet, but they glared at them like they were some kind of food.“Mr. Chairman, I think this place is dangerous for you,” Jonas said while looking around. His right hand was inside his coat, holding a pistol, and ready to fire at any moment.“I agree, Mr. Chairman,” Gary said while
Jake requested Mikhael to tell him everything he could remember about the day he was transmigrated to Eldramoria. However, since for Mikhael, it happened a long time ago, he could barely remember what really happened that day.However, he was sure that the woman in the picture and the woman he saw that day were the same.But since Jake couldn’t get more information, he just asked Mikhael to follow that woman and find more information about her.After that, Jake left the place with his bodyguards.He was on his way back to the office when he received a call from Ms. Hanson. He found it weird because it was already time for Ms. Hanson to go home when he remembered that he had asked her to go to a restaurant.He answered the phone. “Hello, Ms. Hanson? Are you there already? "He asked.“Yes, Mr. Chairman. We have a table already. However, I don’t know who the client is, so I can’t welcome him if he comes,” the secretary replied.“Just wait for me there. I’ll be there in a moment.”“I unde
“Wait! "Ms. Hanson shouted and stood up. She grabbed Jake’s hand and pulled him near her. “I’m sorry. I think there was some understanding here. I apologize," she said while her head was bowing to the woman.“No worries. These bodyguards are just sometimes overacting,” the beautiful lady said. Then after that, she gently asked her bodyguards to relax and lower their guns. “Also, I was the one who disturbed your date. Ah, right! We have a very special wine in the house. Let me serve a bottle of that.”“You own this hotel? "Jake suddenly asked. The woman faced him with a very beautiful smile that made him pause for a while.“Yes, she owns this wonderful hotel now,” a tall middle-aged man suddenly butted in. He was wearing a deep blue suit and black trousers. And his gray hair was neatly brushed up. “She is my new wife. And I bought her this hotel as a gift. By the way, I am Don Theodore Montero.”Jake looked at the man. He had heard that name before. Don Theodore was a multi-billionair
Instead of stopping Jake and Marcus, the drunk customers shouted and cheered. Two of them stood up, closed the door, and guarded it.Jake felt the danger he was in. But this was nothing compared to the monsters and enemies he had faced before. Also, he thought that this would be the right time for him to give Marcus a good lesson.Marcus was his longtime friend, and as far as he could remember, they had known each other since middle school. Marcus used to help him against the bullies. He didn’t fight, though; he just helped him hide.Then their friendship continued until they became full adults. However, Marcus became a bit of a delinquent due to his not-so-child-friendly family background. He engaged himself in some illegal activities and jobs. However, he still didn’t leave Jake.“Are you sure you want to do this here? "Jake asked as he tilted his head to see the bartender. “Will the owner allow this? ”“Well, the owner is in front of you,” the bartender replied with a smile while p
The sun was shining brightly in the clear blue sky. And Jake was feeling sleepy while signing some documents and financial statements. He hasn’t eaten lunch as well, as he wanted to finish everything right away so he could have some free time in the evening.He wanted to have time to have a talk with Eldratrome once more and know more about the prophecy that he couldn’t remember until now.The sales of the company started to go up again, as did the value of their stocks in the market. Many investors began to inquire, and he realized that he couldn’t be gone anymore. The company won’t survive without him.Also, the news and issues about magic users had gradually slowed down. However, there were still times that he was the topic of shows tackling major incidents where magic users were involved.But still, it was all good, as life in the city had come back to normal.He just finished signing a document when the telephone on his table rang. He quickly picked it up and answered.“Mr. Chair
“Are you serious? You’re going to reopen that underground fighting club?"Sebastian shouted with his eyes bulging. “And to make it worse, you’re going to allow magic users to fight? Are you out of your mind? ”Jake scoffed and continued with his paperwork. He was already expecting Sebastian to react like that, especially since the man used to fight and operate that before.“My goal is not to earn money from that. I have to get close to Mr. Montero to know more about his secret,” Jake said, still focused on his work and not looking at Sebastian.The man sighed, then he slammed his fist on Jake's table, causing the things there to bounce. “What? Don’t tell me you’re interested in men now! Besides, that man is pretty old! ”Jake exhaled and looked at Sebastian. “There are things that you won’t understand even if I explain. Just believe in me. Also, if you want, you can also participate there.”“Are you serious? Am I crazy enough to fight magic wielders like you, huh? ” “You are strong, S
After his visit to Draco, Jake went back to his mansion to have dinner with Caroline, who had just come home from the Vipers hideout. She has been a regular there and started training her hand-to-hand combat with Karlow. Also, she was learning more magic spells from Archris.As they were eating dinner, Jake noticed a bruise on Caroline’s left arm.“What the hell happened to that?" Jake asked while looking at her arm.Caroline looked at him and then at her arm. “Ah, this? ” she returned. “Uhm, I got this from Sir Karlow. I blocked a wooden sword with my arm.”Jake sighed, then took a glass of water and drank. “But you don’t have to train anymore. I could save anytime.”“No.” Caroline strongly disagreed. “I learned that I have very strong magic energy, and I can use it to support you. And don’t you ever forget, brother, if not because me, Voragor had destroyed this place already.”Jake looked at his sister. He couldn’t disagree, as what Caroline said was true.“Don’t worry about me, bro
