Jendall Kurtis's Villa.

Candayce was pacing to and fro, from one corner of the room to the other. She was restless, unwilling to sit even though she had been told for the hundredth time.

Jendall's eyes followed her as she moved back and forth. He was sitting in a reclining car, an aid for his old back. There were a couple of men behind him.

All of a sudden, Candyce stopped pacing and started walking to her father.

"You should sit." Her father urged, signaling at one of the many couches in sight.

"I'm worried. Something bad might have happened to him. I don't know what this feeling is." Candyce's eyes were wild as she stake the claim. There was a shade of horror idling in the corner of her face.

"Didn't you say that you watched him take care of some men all by himself? I think he should be able to protect himself. I have faith in him." Lord Jendall acclaimed, looking quite confident.

"That was against the bodyguards of the Langley family!!! I'm talking about Ceballos himself! Ceb

    Slade's eyes returned to normal, and Lord Jendall could not see the abrupt metamorphosis. Staring at the building from the standpoint, Slade couldn't help but stare in awe of the beauty of the villa. He had walked this lane for almost an hour, but he had never seen a villa as grandiose and exhuastively stylish as this. Standing in front of this villa made him discover that there was a mountain backdrop highlighting the aesthetics of the estate. The view was immaculate. "Let's just not stand here. Let's see if it's to your fittings." Lord Jendall insisted and led him towards the villa. The greenery of the lawn, and clearness of the pool were just too ethereal to be real. When Slade got to the doorstep, there was a whirring sound that come from the center of the door. It was a robotic activity that pushed out what looked like a camera from the middle of the door. "Since nobody has ever lived here, and you are the new owner, you have to register your face and finger prints in case

    In the Langley villa, the atmosphere was tensed and there were hostile chatters flying around the space. All eyes were wild and mean, all for the same motive. Vixton was one of the people who was displeased and restless. He was pacing the foyer, to and fro. He just kept mumbling and muttering to himself. He was entirely red from rage. "We cannot let that bastard go scotfree.""That's right we've got to do something about him.""People like him should be made to eat their boots and die licking their own poo! So that in their next lifetime they wouldn't dare to mess with people beyond their class.""But why did Ceballos suddenly wanted us to go?""I'm more worried about how that bastard was able to maneuver his way and stop those thugs from shooting him.""What a joke! He's an ex-convict. A prisoner has nothing but time. He probably have been doing some workout, which must have given him a delusion to think that he can just do what he wants.""I'm sure my cousin will not let this slid

    He ran quickly out of the house. "Mamita!!!" He called her name as loudly as he could, but he got no response. He was restless. At this point, he didn't know what to think. There were a couple of thoughts trampling over one another in his mind, yet he couldn't clear them out. His mind zoomed back to the pot of rice that had fallen on the floor. That couldn't have happened without some exertion of force. With the thought of force springing in his mind, his restlessness tripled and quadrupled. Did the Langley family find her again? Did they trace her to this house? Did they abduct her? Where is she, and what are they doing to her?His eyes had turned red at these thoughts. He could feel blood racing and rushing through his veins. His hands have been fisted, bones crackling. All of a sudden, he realized something. Earlier today, when he came here with Mamita, the neighborhood was a little bit lively and moving. Right now, things seemed unusually quiet. Slade took a deep breath. He

    There were murmurs going around as Slade referred to the neighborhood as his. The elderly folks looked impressed. They didn't know him per se since they've only known Mamita for the past few years. Before any of the three men could say a word, one of the elderly folks, an old woman wearing a loose gown, had quickly stepped forward. "Maria, is this your son?" The woman asked Mamita, inspecting Slade from his head to toe. Slade's attention shifted from the current situation to the woman. He wasn't really bothered by the way the woman was looking at him. Instead, what she had just said picked something in him. His mother? Mamita, his mother? Although Mamita was older than him and was his nanny, she wasn't at that age to give birth when he was born!To think that she was being referred to as his mother hurt Slade so bad. Does she now look so old that his Mary Poppings now looked like someone who could mother him?A new phase of emotional roller-coaster was about to pop off, but Slade

    Slade took a deep breath. He was getting to understand the situation gradually. "We came here to help these ungrateful old people! We want to see if we can save the water, but they don't want to see reason. How annoying." The guy spat on the floor. "May dog eat your mouth!!!!" One of the elderly folks yelled at the guy. "How dare you put it like that, you little scum! You want to pour chemicals in this river! But you want to kick us out our houses after pouring the chemical! And you want to do that tomorrow!! Are you insane? Where do you expect us to go?""It's simple. Don't you have kids or something. Go live with them for a few months." The guy scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Can you hear this forsaken rounded muffin!" The elderly man pointed in rage. "Carlos! You too! You'll do this to those who watched you grow and fed you?" A woman yelled at the third guy of the group who has been quiet since. Carlos basically lived in this neighborhood and was raised here. His grandfather died

    "What are you doing! Answer the call! Or do you want to get fired?!" The other guy yelled at the tough guy. The tough guy quickly snapped out of the frenzy."Hello, Director." He sounded so soft and gentle as though he wasn't the same person who was haughty and bossy towards Slade. He was silent for a couple of moments as he listened over the phone. After a few seconds, the call was hung like it never happened. He reluctantly lifted his gaze, looking quite wearied as he stared at Slade. "What! What happened? What did he say?" The other guy was dying to get to the root of this. It was only the tough guy who was able to listen to the call.The tough guy's face suddenly turned into a scowl as he moved closer to Slade. His eyes dimmed, and there was a shot of a rage. "Don't you dare to think that this is over." He warned Slade. "Although I don't know why the director just called me out of the blue, but..."The guy didn't know what else to say, or perhaps he didn't feel the need to c

    The pace of the lady was so quick that before Slade could realise what was happening, she had gotten to him, with hand drawn like a sword.She swayed her left palm towards his face to slap him across the face, but Slade stopped her hand. He couldn't just stand by and watch someone slap him for no reason. Up to this moment, he still didn't understand what the hell this was all about. All he knew was that he almost caused an accident. Aside this, he had no clue what else was going on. That was one of the many reasons why he had climbed down from the vehicle. "Let go of my hand! You will rot in jail today! I'll make sure that you do not see the light of the day ever again in your life!!" The lady was fighting with all her might as she cussed relentlessly at Slade. He knew that there must be a reason why she was acting this way. There was no way a normal person would want to hit another for no reason. He noticed that the lady was not fighting to hit him anymore. Instead, she was tryi

    Amelia couldn't even open her mouth. She just remained there, staring like a mannequin. She couldn't explain what just happened. This loser guy whom she had yelled at earlier suddenly became taller and bigger in front of her. In fact, his presence intimidated her so much that she was beginning to shake. It was until after he turned around and walked away that she stopped shaking. Based on her contact and influence, Amelia has met so many powerful people. But in her meetings, she had never come across someone who made her lose control over her body and mind like this. When she gained back her consciousness, she saw that Slade had already arrived at the vet clinic. "That crazy fool! How dare he yell at me." She grunted in displeasure, fuming. "Hey!!! Don't you dare think that I will let some local vet treat my Kyle! Never!" Although she was yelling this, yet she didn't stop for once as she approached the vet clinic. She stomped into the clinic yelling, "Do you even know how

    The black figure stepped closer to the bars of gate, imposing his presence. What Mariana was feeling at that moment has graduated from fear to a deep terror. She could feel an ocean of goosebumps washing across her entire body. 'Slade?' She thought, unable to say the word. The name of Slade now seemed like a taboo on her lips. To think that the loser she used to date was now a synonym for terror and dread was rather inconvenient. The black figure reached further into the light to reveal himself as a man. Mariana swallowed a lump and traced the pant of the man up to his face. When she looked clearly, she could take a sharp sigh in relief. 'It's not him.' She was so happy when she realised that it was not Slade. Instead, there was a man with a grim face standing at the door. There were scars all over his face. One of his eyes seemed to be dimmed, partly lost. Yet, the terror on his face was very demanding. The man reached out his hand through the bars of iron. There was a bottle

    The rage that had congested in the mind of Elise shot out at once and she lost it. The palms of the guy on her tits were gentle at first, but he began to put more pressure on her titties to experience maximum pleasure. Elise sent a kick in his balls. Squish. The liquid of his balls could be heard dripping. She reached forward and grabbed his neck. It would seem as though she didn't care about his hands on her tits anymore. She planted two tips of her nails in his neck until blood started dripping. She ripped a cord out of his neck and tied it around his face. The red-haired started gasping for air until he was unable to breathe anymore. There was a stream of blood gushing from his neck, soaking his entire body. When the other three guys saw it, two of them were horrified that they made a run for their life. The third one was too shocked and bewildered that he couldn't move an inch. He stood there like a mannequin, only that his legs were shaking as though they would fly off his t

    As she walked on, Elise kept brooding over the topic. She didn't know what to believe. She has found herself at an impasse, unable to agree with either her logic or the reality of event. "Could he be the Spectre?" She wondered, her face growing chills. "No. The Spectre is supposed to be a myth. He's not real. He can't be real." She was shaking her head violently. "Then if he's not the Sceptre, and most definitely not my father, who else could be this powerful man living in Pinnacle County?"The more she thought about it, the more confused she was. She was trying to find a common ground for her logic and reality but nothing seemed to be working for her!"Someone who can't only clone himself but can easily vanish when he's at his most vulnerable state. What kind of human is this?!" She shook her head violently. "It can't be. He couldn't have sent two clones. That's impossible." She nodded frantically. "If a mage wants to clone himself, the real person has to be there! Two clones ca

    Elise stood there feeling relieved as she watched Slade fall hard to the group after pulling the sword out. She was much more impressed with herself than she was with what has just happened. A second ago, she was caught in the claws of her trauma, and then another second later, she was driving a sword into the chest of Slade. She couldn't tell for real how she was able to bury her fears so quickly, switching it with the hunger to see this guy dead! Perhaps her will to cause havoc was stronger than the fog of fear that encircled her earlier. "I warned you before all of this started but you decided not to listen." Elise said, standing over Slade. "How could you be so obstinate? Did you think that you could fool me with making a clone of yourself?" She sounded quite offended. There was no trace of emphaty towards Slade on her face. It felt like she was enjoying and savoring every second of this moment. "Do you know what was more foolish?" She pushed the tip of her heel into the sid

    When Elise heard this, her eyes turned red instantly. "What!!!" She exclaimed. What the hell did this fraud just call her?Slade kept track of all the changes that took place in the eyes and face of the lady. He has a mission, too. He didn't want to spend all the day here having a word battle with some strange girl. Just like he always did, he wanted to push her to very edge of her rage and watch her use all her strength to take him down!"Why do you look so offended?" Slade laughed softly. "Did I lie?" He added. "How can a pretty lady like you be the dog of Vixton? Did he send you here to kill me just like the assassin he sent earlier?" Slade pushed further. Slade had thought about it for a moment. When the lady first approached him, he was forced to think that it might be the lady from the forest, the dragon. But then he recalled that he hasn't released her from her dragon form yet. So, there was no way in hell where she would have escaped the Heaven Coast Forest and come here.

    It's been a day after she left the forest. Elise has done everything she could do locate this fake Lord Jaguar, but she wasn't able to. She has even tried to make Ceballos tell her, but Ceballos was extremely scared to utter a word about the man. Elise believed that the fake Lord Jaguar must has bewitched Ceballos and co. She decided that all the responsibility rest on her right now. She needed to find a way around this. Up to this moment, she has been able to find some fact about the fake Lord Jaguar. She has come to discover that the fraud used to be the heir of a powerful company but was sent to prison for what he didn't do. Perhaps because he was trying to seek judgement for those who hurt his family, he decided to lie that he had met an old man in prison. Even though if he wanted to save his family's legacy, should he do so by lying about her grandfather and pretending to be who he's not?Elise was very furious as she came to a stop. She was in front of a convenience store. S

    "It's okay if you don't want us to be together for now. I understand totally. You don't have to force yourself or go against your beliefs." She placed her left palm on his cheek. "See, I'm not mad at you, not at all. Like I said, I understood why my father didn't remarry. That was why I said let's take a break. It's not like we are breaking up for good." She assured. "By the time you're done with everything that you have to do, I'll still be here waiting for you, even if it takes four decades or a century." She added, water forming in her eyes again. She suddenly laughed. "I was joking when I said a century. You better not take it serious." She scolded. Slade smiled, falling deeper and deeper in love with her. He could never have thought that this lady in front of him was the eighteen years old suicidal girl he had saved from a lagoon several months ago. He felt very bad for having lowly thoughts about her. He felt extremely remorseful that he used to think that she was a burden

    Slade and Candyce were having a hearty laugh as they stood in the midst of the fluffy flowers that bent to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. When they had taken a flight, Slade had brought them to this location. It is an open garden of beautiful flowers. Each flower was about half the height of an average human. The both of them seemed to have something in common as the laugh continued for another few seconds. After this, Slade stopped laughing but Candyce wanted to carry it on for a while. Soon enough, the both of them found a common ground and the laugh died out. When it died out, each of them was looking in an opposite direction. Turning their back to each other. Slade could enjoy the beautiful view of this geographic area. It was one of the places that he hasn't really paid attention to. This would be a perfect location for him to come to whenever he was in need of solitude. He could even bring himself up to per with his skills if he were to practice here. "She told me everyt

    Candyce was still struggling to regulate her breathing pace. What had happened outside the restaurant earlier took a toll on her mental health. She wasn't the type to get into a fight with people no matter how subtle. She was trying to fan herself with the back of her hands even though the restaurant was chilly with the aid of air conditioners. "It was my fault. I planned to make today a great day, but then I ruined it." Slade apologized, taking responsibility for what had just happened. "It's your fault, truly." Candyce admitted, trying to catch her breath. Slade wasn't surprised by her remark. Where was the lie? Of course everything that happened outside the restaurant was all because of him. In fact, only few privileged people in Pinnacle County knew who Candyce was. They didn't know her in person. So, there was no chance in the universe where someone would have been able to recognise her here! This again bulged down to the fact that if it wasn't for Slade, this wouldn't have
