Tajana walked into the underground research lab attached to Alex's personal villa.Alex was dressed in a white doctor's lab coat, examining a blood sample.Tajana gasped as his eyes caught sight of the pint of blood which Alex was transfusing to Ariel.The blood had a golden hue tainting its normal red, showing that it doesn't belong to a human.“Boss, you're transfusing your blood to the boy? But his body can't bear it,” he whispered in alarm, running closer to the boy.“Oh yes, he can. He's still alive because he's my son,” Alex whispered fondly, caressing the pale cheek of the unconscious boy.“He was conceived after I cultivated to true god realm. So technically, he has my genes. That's the only reason he's still alive, so I need to increase my powers in him to strengthen his body even more,” Alex explained.Tajana looked at the boy jealously.He basically reaped the benefits of Alex's years of painstaking training and body-forging just by being a product of his loins.“Now that I
Dolion gasped and wheezed, keeping silent.“I see. I pampered you too much till you began to think I'm a toothless tiger. Let me awaken your mind,” Alex whispered, flinging Dolion to the fire burning in the fire place.Sulfur was added to the fire, making it a very scary torture equipment.Dolion screamed in pain, rushing out of the fire, while hurriedly trying to put out the flames on his body using his ice attribute.Alex took a step forward, making his men draw back in horror.However, to everyone's greatest relief, he walked past them and grabbed Dolion, banging his head against the wall.“I'm sorry, my lord. I don't know what I did to deserve this. I shouldn't have spoken when you're angry. I'm so sorry,” Dolion begged profusely, not minding the blood pouring down his head.“Ah? Are you calling me an unreasonable master that tortures his men according to his moods? Are you insinuating that I'm a monster?” Alex whispered coldly, but Dolion quickly shook his head fearfully. But the
Dolion moved back fearfully as Alex squatted before him.“Come here, why are you running from daddy?” Alex asked in a creepy voice that made the smile on his face more terrifying.His hand shot out and held Dolion still, giving him a shot of the green liquid in the syringe he was with.“A shot of Tyron to barbecue you from inside out,” Alex whispered with a smile, caressing his hair.Dolion immediately screamed in pain.“Nooo! Ah! Oh!” He groaned, looking at Alex with a resentful gaze.He coughed up black blood mixed with chunks of his internal organs, smoke was coming out of his ears, nose, and mouth.“All my life, I have respected you with everything I am. I loved you and carried out your orders without reserve. No matter how dangerous the mission is, I ensured that I carried it out to your satisfaction, I would rather die than disappoint you. I have been a good brother and god-son, serving you faithfully. Yet because of this one blunder which I made because I panicked, you're treat
Alex sat before the beach attached to their base 1 villa, sipping a glass of tequila, mixed with a special brew of wine made by Alex.After he became a high ranked cultivator, normal wines couldn't get him drunk, even if he drank a full tank. To remedy that, he brewed a special batch of exotic wine for himself and some of his men, made with rare ingredients like ten thousand years old herbs and Immortal fruits. The red dragon fruit and spirit grapes which were the main ingredients of the wine were both a hundred thousand years old; Alex had found it in a lost ancient underground city while exploring a Chinese emperor's tomb, when Anacondas began to mysteriously appear in the surrounding cities.Alex had gone there to combat the threat and inadvertently found himself in another world below the city. They claimed it belonged to a conceited greater Qing dynasty emperor who created another city below the capital for his burial, as his designated final resting place.Alex had come back wit
Alex's brows furrowed as his incredibly sharp senses captured his men's voices asking questions in panic. He had heard everything they said about him; however, he chose to keep mum and listen.But noticing that there appears to be a problem somewhere, he quickly stood up, not bothering to continue pretending that he's uninterested in their discussion.He walked into the main villa's control tower, where his men were huddling before a screen while Raz was instructing Shadow to drive to the location.“What's happening here?” Alex asked calmly, making his men turn around in shock.“It's madam Eleanor and Ariella, Karen Winthrop sent men to create trouble for them. They were double-crossed and their car is being destroyed while they're still in it. We've sent people there, we were just about to join them,” Aridan hurriedly said, as the temperature of the room dropped steadily till it became equivalent to a block of ice.Alex checked the coordinates, his eyes narrowing. “I will handle thi
Alex immediately sniffed the air, wondering why he didn't notice the presence of another team of assailants.“They could have left on their own,” Aridan quickly said, standing beside Alex.“You guys can wait here, while I go search for them,” Alex said calmly, setting off in a direction.He stood in a bushy undergrowth, just close to the edge of the valley, listening to the sounds.He heard a familiar baby voice sniffing and perked his ears up, focusing on them.“Shhhh! Baby shh! They could be looking for us,” he heard a woman whisper.“But daddy is there all alone. And more cars arrived. He can't fight them off by himself. We should save daddy,” Ariella insisted.“Daddy won't want us to interfere. He came here to protect you, if we waste his efforts by going back there, he will be very disappointed. And we can't call the police either, it's now obvious that whoever the person attacking us is, he has numerous connections in the military and police. Just be patient, once it's dark, I w
Alex sighed and took a deep breath, looking straight ahead.“Why are you giving me that expression? My son is not dead, he's not dead. Don't tell me he's dead, please,” Eleanor whispered, tears of heartbreak streaming down her face.Ariella began to whimper too, filling Alex with confusion.He rubbed his baby's back, trying to soothe her, while simultaneously trying to comfort Eleanor.He pulled her into his arms, holding both of them tightly.“Ariel is not dead. He's still alive,” he whispered soothingly, attempting to stop the grieving Eleanor, who was already shedding a bucketful of tears.“Just tell me the truth, don't give me false hope. Have you found my son?” She asked, her eyes looking up at him.Alex immediately nodded.“I already found Ariel,” “Why are you telling me just now? He will be restless when he sees himself in a strange environment. Isn't he asking about me? How can you…,” she began to say angrily and Alex cut her off.“There was no need of bringing him to you, he
“Of course, I will not let anyone bully us anymore,” she said with a smile, making Alex rub her hair in satisfaction.“You're daddy's pride. So you have to shine like a star at all times, don't let anyone act up before you. You're the boss,” he encouraged as Raz opened the car door.Eleanor angrily got down, wondering why Alex's idea of child rearing involve extreme indulgence and spoiling them, they will only become arrogant in the future.She looked around, noticing the splendor all around her. Two men were wearing aprons while standing in front of the main mansion to welcome them.Eleanor admired the surrounding edifice, all the buildings in that villa were exquisite, with mind-blowing designs, but the one before them was obviously the best, shaped like Aladdin's lamp.There was a steady light glowing at the top, while the other end of the 'lamp' contained an infinity pool, probably the penthouse suite.Eleanor took a deep breath, even though she was born in an aristocratic family
