Luz nodded.

“It was me. I mutilated my voice.”

“Do you realize that you might have put her in deeper danger because of your rash actions?”

Luz smiled.

“I had everything figured out. If she was hiding somewhere we didn't think about, she would realize that we're searching for her and return. If she was held hostage, her kidnappers would panic because of the announcement and make mistakes. They will rush to leave the premises, running into the waiting arms of the guards at the exit. Besides, no one knows she's Ariella. Everyone will think it's one of the guests, that was why I used the words ‘your parents are looking for you'. Nothing would have happened.” Luz said confidently, locking the door.

Alex sighed. He realized that he couldn't refute Luz's reasoning. His analysis was spot on.

Alex's smart watch vibrated and he quickly pressed a button and brought his wrist closer to his ears.

“Boss, where are you? It's almost time for the interview with the reporters and bloggers.” Raz said, t

The one I had is enough to cool my head. Stop looking at me though, it turns me on when you do.” He whispered and quickly reached for his clothes.*****Alex walked into the conference room's backstage, wearing a black suit, which made him look more dashing. His hair was neatly styled back; expensive watch, rings, and special bracelets made with very rare and precious materials. His expensive designer shoe from his own personal designer was sparkling, adding to his charms. Although he was wearing all black, everyone had to agree they looked great on him. Eleanor was beside him, wearing a blue floor length gown and crystal heels. Her neck was adorned with stately jewelry made of platinum, an unknown metal, and sapphires, matching her blue gown perfectly. She was also wearing mat

    Alex drew closer to her and held her with a calm smile.“No, she's not that kind of person. I met Eleanor after the men hired by Mia failed to kill me. I met her while I was on the run, and thanks to her, the hatred and distrust in my heart which I had towards women after facing Mia's betrayal faded away. Perhaps, if fate didn't bring me to Eleanor, my disgust torwards women might have continued. But thanks to her, I realized that there were still good women in this world. That's why I'm incredibly grateful, and sorry. I met her at the darkest point in my life, she was my miracle.”“Wow, her sacrifices really paid off, and she's reaping the fruit of her patience. As always, her foresight is superb, unlike Mia.” Eleanor staggered again, and Alex quickly caught and steadied her.The reporter was implying that Eleanor knew she would gain from Alex's bright future, making her wait patiently. She was a gold digger just like Mia, just that their approaches were different.“Now that Miss Ca

    “Your words are arrogant, young master. Even if you were trying to protect your mother, you should also bear the business in mind. Being so rude to the clients, are you trying to chase them away?”Luz laughed coldly.“You're not our esteemed customer. Except the food bloggers, the rest of you are reporters who we graciously allowed to come in here and record our event. It's an opportunity to broaden your portfolio and create a good news item that will help your career. Our esteemed clients have long gone home. Most of you are people paid to sabotage the gathering, and yes, we have the evidence that most of you raising controversy were bribed. But do we care? We still welcomed everyone. If you don't want to come, go ahead. For every one person who wouldn't come, ten others will. And maybe, this will serve as an indication that choosing patriotism over profit is not the better option. However, it's not too late. We can still move it to other countries if you guys hate the medicinal dish

We should send the unwrapped portions to other elders of the family which are not in attendance.”Kenzo sighed in anger. As always, the old man was quick to take Hera's side even if she was wrong. They finished their food and thanked him, before leaving together. Immediately they left, their warm playful eyes turned to something monstrous. “If we don't do anything now, it will be too late. She can't get married to someone powerful. And grandpa cannot be allowed to fully recover either. Find the people she sent to get the order. Whenever she sends them to procure the second dose, they should inform us. Let's see how miraculous the dishes can be if it kills old Vanderbilts.

You're now more powerful than this old man here. Just a little more step you will enter quasi god realm and start aiming for demigod threshold. You must keep this good news secret at all costs.” He said, turning Hera around to examine her.“Ah? You haven't sent the food to the others. It will get cold and lose its flavor.”“Nonsense. You have to take it to stabilize your foundation. Besides, we don't know if he will agree to prepare such a feast again in the times to come. Money cannot buy this.

Aridan was totally covered in silver metallic armor, and only his eyes were visible.He moved his fingers, checking them for flexibility.A glass case was immediately fixed at the open area before his eyes, totally encasing him.“Arming you with the required weapons, process initiated.” Alex announced through the mic.At once, numerous high level weapons began to get attached to various parts of his body.Aridan noticed that his weapons had been upgraded a few levels higher, making him wonder what lurked in the forest before him.“Those thorns are poisonous. It also spills out a very toxic liquid when slashed. There ar

    “Ariel, take and leave. The kids should be preserved. I will stay with Hera and Luz to continue the defense.” Yu Xue said, tightening her hand on her weapon. “Don't be stupid. Kaiser is still young and can't live without his mom. Leave now or I tie you up!” Luz barked, his aura intimidating her. “Big sister, young master is right. You need to follow Kaiser. He can't live without parents at his age. Besides, the family needs a mother figure. Luz is the head of the family now in the absence of hubby. You have to listen to him. His plans are good. In that way, we won't lose too much. All hope is not lost. You guys should wait in the basement first. Once it's clear we can't turn it around, you guys can leave.” Hera whispered, patting Yu Xue. Ariel and Aridan dragged her away while Ariella picked up Kaiser. “Emrys, Ikaris, and Raz, go with them. They need powerful cultivators to protect them. Tajana, Dolion, Shadow, madam Hera and the rest, stay with me to defend the base. At least, the

  • THE SIEGE; BATTLE OF TITANS FINALE

    “What's wrong?” Alex asked, walking into the house. He was in one of the labs working when he heard the commotion in the house and Bing Yu Xue crying. He made his way to the front and his heart skipped multiple beats. Ariel was lying on the sofa with purple veins visible on his body. His eyes had turned white and he was changing into an unknown beast. “They were just on their way back after going to Food Haven when a group of powerful evil cultivators appeared, trying to kidnap Ariel. But they were unable to do so because he was strong and couldn't be easily taken away. They used poison to overpower him, just before Luz and I arrived at the scene. He instantly became like this. This is soul devouring poison which was enhanced with a curse. Luz said there was no cure. That's why…” Aridan muttered. Bing Yu Xue slapped Alex at that moment, surprising everyone. “Big sister just died because of you, and now her only son is like this. Outside everyone calls you god but you're jus

  • DOLION'S RETURN

    “The identity of Lord Dracula has been exposed. He's none other than Alexander Winthrop, the former heir who was kicked out. This grand reveal happened after the Winthrop family suddenly met with tragedies, with lots of the members choosing to commit suicide after all that was revealed. It was said that they killed Lord Dracula's wife, making him go crazy and order their destruction. But is this right? Why not handle it legally instead of killing? Is Lord Dracula losing control? Is he going crazy? Having all that power without control will only have a negative effect. Let's hear from the audience.” “Although Lord Dracula was harsh, but there were evidence that the affected members were engaged in different crimes. He would have still punished them even without them killing his wife. Besides, what man will keep silent after such a thing? Unless he doesn't love the woman or have enough power to protect her.” “Um, Lord Dracula has always protected the masses. A little mistake won't ov

  • YOU'RE A USELESS FATHER

    Alex stood with Eleanor in his arms and immediately disappeared, going back to his house. Ikaris and his team, who were waiting outside, swooped in and rescued the people being held. The remnants of the evil group, like guards, were also quickly disposed of. Shadow led another group to the various camps/ lab which Nicanor was using for his illegal research. It was comparatively easy because Alex had killed off the top powerful members of the organization when he went berserk. Even if the goddess finds a body to possess and returns, rebuilding her power won't be that easy. ***** Alex appeared before the mansion with Eleanor in his arms, Bing Yu Xue, Aridan, Raz, Tajana and the kids were outside waiting for them. Tajana, Luz and Ariel were listening to the battle through their headset connected to the control tower. So they heard everything that happened. “How is big sister?” Bing Yu Xue whispered rushing forth. “Get out of my way!” Alex roared, shocking everyone. Even the pla

  • NO REGRETS; I STILL LOVE YOU

    Alex kicked open the door and entered the warehouse. His heart was shaking, and he had felt sick ever since he called the men at Food Haven and discovered that indeed, Eleanor went to meet a client and never returned. He slowly moved forward into the modified warehouse, keeping his ears open for any ambush. The warehouse looked ordinary to the eyes, but Alex could tell it was a detached space right away. He had barely walked deep into the warehouse when he saw Eleanor tied up in a chair. Both her limbs were bound to the chair, and her mouth was held with a tape, her eyes blindfolded. There were bloody marks all over her body, fresh blood steadily dripped down from her right hand, and there was a huge bump on her temple, alongside brusises and blood patches. “It has only been a few hours yet they tortured her to this state.” He muttered in horror, taking a step forth. A red line suddenly appeared before him, stopping him from advancing. At once, he looked up and saw Nicholas ho

  • KIDNAPPED

    “What happened?” Alex whispered, turning to him. “We just received a message telling you to appear in a location within one hour, or else they will send your woman's body to you. That was what the message said.”Alex frowned. “Kaiser and his mom are still inside, right?” He whispered, watching them nod.“Then tell them not to go out for some time. Wait, Ariel, where's your mom?” Alex suddenly asked, the relief he felt a second ago had disappeared without warning. “Um, she went out early in the morning to Food Haven. Since the new wine company was launched with the mysterious wine, Food Haven's orders has drastically multiplied. Also, mom has expanded to other countries and has four branches altogether. So, she's pretty busy nowadays. She should be in Food Haven, getting work done.” Ariel whispered with a proud smile, happy that his mom achieved so much in just a few years. Alex's contributions cannot be over looked, especially in terms of the recipes and training of cooks. Even the

  • ASCENDING GOD REALM/ LORD OF CHAOS RETURNS

    Alex rained down punches on the wall of the bathroom, feeling frustrated. He was so close to taking everyone of the bastards down but he just had to chicken out at the last minute. Nicanor’s mocking voice kept reverberating in his ears. ‘Hahahaha! You're so predictable, dear brother. God my ass! You're too soft to achieve anything exceptional. You will always be one step behind.’Alex looked at his reflection, wiping the mist off the mirror. “What's wrong with me? Am I getting weaker? Or did I became plain useless? How can I lose focus of the bigger picture for trivialities? At this rate, they will block me with children each time we face off.” He felt someone hugging him from behind and stopped, turning to look at the intruder hugging him from behind. “Although I don't know where you went to, I guess you were not successful.” Eleanor whispered, caressing him. Even though she doesn't know exactly what Alex does, over the years, she had come to accept that he was not some evil mafi

  • THE CLONE

    The one on the bed gave him a familiar smirk, one which Alex knew too well because he always does that when he's facing an enemy he disdains. “How did this happen? How did my DNA get here, to the extent that they got enough to create a clone? What happened?” He muttered, his mind working like a clock. His memory flashed to Kristen, the banished female disciple who tried to steal his sperm. He had not heard from her in years, making him forget about her. But this can only be her handiwork. “I thought that she was caught and thwarted. What the fuck is going on here? How did Nicanor get a hold of my DNA?” Before Alex could make sense of what was happening, the clone swung a punch at him. The punch was powerful and packed with a familiar technique. Alex quickly parried the blow, surprised to see that their strength was somehow equal. In just a minute, they have exchanged a dozen moves, and each time, the clone copied him, using his techniques to replicate attacks. “It seems that it's

  • LAB OF DISASTER

    “When are you going to let me check your memories? We're running out of time and we don't even know the master mind?” It was Alex talking to the ghost he captured from the construction site. “Go ahead. Since I'm already dead, it shouldn't matter if I lose my consciousness afterwards.” The ghost answered, and floated out of the area where Alex kept it confined. “I won't let you get hurt. I will protect you till the moment you feel like crossing into the spirit realm.” Alex whispered solemnly and started the process. ****By the time Alex was done, he was left totally speechless. The leader of the band of evil, the doctor who always had a mask on his face, the very one who seemed to have the same status as the evil goddess, was none other than his step brother, Nicanor. Karen was just a figurehead used to attack Alex at intervals and all he did so far was on Nicanor’s orders. “No wonder the figure looked familiar to me, it's my snake brother. He pretended he's not interested in powe
