THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM SKIN WALKING
Adrian had just finished giving his speech and went to his office to get some files when suddenly, he found himself in a room in a completely different house. He was confused. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He knocked and tried to shout but got no response. When he turned around, he screamed out of shock and touched his face. His face was different, and not just his face, his body. He recognised the face. This was the face and body of Sylas Eder, the current CEO of the Knight Consortium. Sylas was Adrian’s prime suspect in the murder of Xaden’s parents several years ago though Adrian didn’t have any real proof of the crime being committed. Sylas was the step brother of Xaden’s grandfather, John. After John’s father had died and left the Consortium to him, his mother had remarried a man named Miles Eder. Sylas was Miles Eder’s son from his own first wife and had been an infant at the time. As he grew, he was envious of John’s son. He had fought to have a share in the Knig
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM UNLOCKING THE FOUR WINDS
“The martial arts teacher, Wang Yu, is an old family friend. Even before I learnt of Manna, we used to visit there when I was much younger and play around his dojo while Father was trained. Later on, he also became my master for a year before I decided to focus my efforts on Alchemy. But my daughter, Rai, has more interest in martial arts, too much interest if you ask me. So he’s her master now, though for a while, she hasn’t been able to attend class because it’s not safe to commute with the council out to get us. I remember seeing that quote on the oak tree in his field. It was carved into it and I never understood it till now because there have never been cherry blossoms anywhere close to the dojo. It’s a riddle so I assume a cherry blossom tree is what the cherry blooms part of the line means instead of the cherry fruit because obviously fruits can’t bloom.”“Master Wang Yu hasn’t accepted a new student in years, Malessa. He only accepted Rai because he owed me a favour and she w
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM DOMINIQUE
“The sigils are the power gems of each wind. Usually, an Air mage can only control or wield one of the four winds. Those who practise and gain further mastery can wield two, but it is very draining and takes a toll on them, so people usually stick to one. I am the only one who can wield all four winds without consequence. And now you have been given the ability to wield all four. I will teach you to grow your ability and increase the power level of each wind.” Wang Yu said as he began to lead them away from the building and towards the oak tree in the field.“The East wind represents Spring, and brings destruction just as tornadoes are more likely to occur during spring. The West wind represents Autumn, and this wind brings dryness just as the leaves wither in Autumn. The South wind represents Summer because it is the opposite of the North and Summer is the hottest of all four seasons. And the North Wind represents Winter, the coldest season.” He continued to speak.“It requires great
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM SHADOWKIN
In the confines of the presidential office, Dominique stood before President Adrian, her eyes reflecting a mix of remorse and regret. "I want to apologise," she began, her voice tinged with sincerity. "I cannot excuse or justify what Sylas has done. I'm here to acknowledge the wrongs and take responsibility for my part in this. I should have been more observant of him. I know most of these things happened before I got married to him, but I still feel guilty. I know he will never swallow his pride and apologise so I want to do it on his behalf. I will try and talk some sense into him to avoid further disputes."Adrian, though still carrying the weight of the recent turmoil, acknowledged her sincerity. He knew it would be wrong to blame her unjustly because of her husband’s misdeeds, but he was still mistrustful of her intentions.What if Sylas just sent her here to deceive them and get close to them as a spy? Or what if she was actually here of her own accord, but still with nefarious
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM FIRST APPEARANCE TO THE BOARD
When she woke up, she thought she had gone blind because she couldn’t even see her fingers even though she was sure she was holding them in front of her face. She tried to move but there was a clanging sound as the chains she was held down with moved.“Hello!” She screamed into the darkness.She tried to figure out who could have summoned forbidden shadowkin and also ordered them to take her. The last thing she remembered was seeing shadowkin in the alleyway leading to her house. The leader said they knew what she had done, and the only thing she could have possibly done to warrant being seen as betrayal was going to visit Xaden and Adrian. She knew her husband wasn’t a good person after finding out what he had done to Xaden but could he really be responsible for this too? She was confused. She didn’t want to believe that she had been married to a monster all these years but there was no other explanation even if it was a bit confusing because she was sure that Syalas had been asleep
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM NEW TASK TO FIND HER
The reporter he pointed to immediately stepped forward.“Mr Knight, you didn’t spend a lot of time inside, does that mean everything has been resolved? We all expected you to take at least a few hours to negotiate your takeover with the board members.”“Well it seems the board wants to start a fight they can’t finish by denying me my rightful inheritance. This company was established by Knights, built by Knights, and should be ruled by a Knight. I appreciate them holding the fort while I was unavailable, but now that I have returned, they should do the right thing and let me take my place as the last living legitimate member of the Knight family. I hope that answered your question.” Xaden said and pointed to the next person.“Sir, what’s your next move? Will you take this to court? Or let it play out? We want to know how you intend to fight back.” The next reporter asked and he smiled.“They say a magician never reveals his secrets. If I tell you my plans, then they can try to thwart
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM ILLUSION
Xaden's heart pounded in his chest as he burst into the dimly lit warehouse, the stale air thick with tension. This was where Adrian's men said they suspected Dominique was and Adrian trusted their information. When the system gave the riddle to look into the forbidden, they agreed to do a thorough search into Sylas’ illegal business. Definitely, someone like Sylas could never keep his hands clean despite how much the Knight Consortium was worth. Greedy people never considered their wealth enough and Sylas was greedy to a fault and also covetous. This warehouse had been part of the chain of illegal trade Sylas was in charge of. It was in a secluded position and was the most ideal place to hide someone. The flickering light from a solitary bulb cast eerie shadows on the cold, concrete walls."Sylas!" Xaden's voice echoed through the desolate space, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He didn’t bother trying to be silent because he could feel that he wasn’t alone.“Don’t bother trying t
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM A NEW PROBLEM
“I don’t understand. We should have been able to find her. We checked every property that was connected to Sylas and that one was the best option. The System said we should follow the forbidden, how else are we supposed to do that?” Malessa asked with a bemused expression.“We thought the forbidden meant his business, but at this point, I don’t think the System meant his illegal businesses. I think it meant forbidden Manna practices, dark spells and things like that. Whatever posed as Dominique didn’t look like it was skinwalking. And there was a weird blade. The blade was very black and seemed to be sucking the light from everything within a metre of it. It also had a red ruby in the hilt with strange lines, I think they were runes that seemed to be filled with blood. It felt wrong, like a black hole draining everything around.” Xaden said and Adrian looked up in shock.“The blade itself was black?” Adrian asked and Xaden nodded.“Damn. This is worse than I thought. Sylas is really g
