last update2024-07-03 23:33:43

Alex was scowling as he read the reports before him on his desk. It was one of the few days he spares time for CloudSea corporations, and there were already bad news on his table infuriating him.

“What the fuck is the meaning of this? I spent just a few days at Food Haven and you allowed things to spiral to this level. Are you all stupid? Why didn't any of you think about informing me?” Alex roared, throwing an expensive miniature tiger sculpture at Emrys.

Emrys quickly moved to the side, and caught it with his palm. He held it and quickly faced the floor, letting Alex rant to his satisfaction.

“You asked us not to bother you to enable you concentrate on Food Haven’s opening. You said we should manage things on our own, be it training, business or any military emergency that arises. So that you will have the leisure to propel Food Haven to success.” Emrys muttered, still looking at the floor.

“I meant the normal day to day activities that were naturally within your abilities, not some

    Emrys looked at the floor, feeling useless.“That's the problem. It's not that I don't know what to do. It's just that all the evidence points to us as the true culprits, which is impossible of course.” He muttered, forcing himself to look up at Alex. “Could it be an insider? Is there a saboteur working for us?” Alex muttered, his head pounding painfully.“I do not think that's the case. The food company has a very strict selection and screening process. Besides, their employee tags which they wear whenever they're in the company will let us know if any of them harbor negative thoughts about us. Moreover, they are under strict supervision and surveillance. There's always one of our brothers watching them every hour of the day. All our establishments, especially those within the country have right security because of the numerous threats we face on a daily basis. So, I don't really understand how this happened, we took every possible precautions which a succesfull empire should take t

    Alex shut his eyes in pain as he processed the information.“What were our men doing? How did gunmen get so close to Food Haven without being detected, you useless punks!” Alex roared angrily, his eyes turning red.“The guards were stationed within the restaurant and just outside the gates. They were meant to protect the guests as they eat, not people passing along the way. However, the culprits waited till the man came outside the gates to wait for his Uber. They were on motorbikes, making the assault fast. The assailants were also professional snipers and didn't spend more than a few seconds at Food Haven’s gates. It was not the fault of the guards, my lord.” Ikaris whispered, looking at the floor.“Get the car ready, I'm going to Food Haven. Also, increase the security of CloudSea corporations. Emrys, hurry up and do what I instructed you to do!” Alex roared, and they quickly scurried off to obey his orders.Hera sighed heavily and walked to him, patting his arm in comfort.“Calm

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   TOUCHING THE TIGER'S TAIL

    Alex sat in the back of his customized rolls-royce as Ikaris pulled out of the CloudSea Veneco branch parking lot. Compared to a few minutes ago, he was feeling more relaxed. And he owed it to his encounter with Hera. Her soft words of encouragement, and her shy touches ended up reliving the pounding headache he felt. Alex had never had any sexual thoughts torwards Hera, except when he wanted to tease her. He just found her annoying like every other spoiled heiress out there. But their encounter just now, made him have a rethink.His muscles was no longer tensed up, and he could feel himself having more lucid thoughts.Alex sighed heavily, the problems before him were numerous and can destroy a lesser man. But he was Dracula after all.He began to ponder Hera's words seriously, and wondered if he should start looking out for potential allies.“Drive faster,” Alex whispered calmly, reaching for a bottle of wine stored in the car’s temporal bar. He uncorked it and took a huge gulp, whil

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   TO DIE BY FIRE

    Shadow suddenly appeared beside Alex, holding his arm steadily to draw him back.“Boss, don't be rash. If you act according to the weight of your anger, it will be equivalent to walking around with two sign posts announcing your identity. Wait for me to handle this situation. Or we can attack them covertly. Have you forgotten about the things you left on the fence during the construction?”“That's right, don't be rash. Allow us to do this. The media will notice your presence if you storm over. Adding the tag of a murderer to the list of problems at hand won't do your reputation any good. The company will also descend to an even more deplorable condition. Whoever the perpetrators are, they're definitely expecting you to react violently. Otherwise, why will such a horde of reporters appear Immediately the man was shot?” Raz whispered, appearing behind him. Alex’s men have been hiding in pocket spaces around Food Haven, secretly keeping a grasp of the situation, hoping to take charge i

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   A MAN SHROUDED IN MYSTERY

    Alex chuckled as he watched the scene before him. People were still shouting on top of their voices, arguing amongst each other. More bloggers and news agents had arrived to cover the incident, and their cars were parked further off, causing a congestion on the normally free street.The hairs on Alex's body suddenly stood on edge, and he turned towards a direction, same time as missiles shot towards Food Haven. People screamed and rushed to take cover, while the ones further away quickly went flat on the ground, trying to avoid the rain of missiles pouring down on Food Haven. Some sniper bullets were also mixed up with the missiles. A blue light shield quickly covered Food Haven, the fence turned to blue color with lines resembling water waves rolling on it. There was also a huge sound of water crashing against the surface, reminiscent of a powerful sea.The scorching hotness and wails of death which people expected that normally accompanied a bomb explosion didn't come, making them

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   TRYING TO GAIN ADVANTAGE

    Alex walked into the staff room attached to the kitchen. Most of the workers were in there, especially the helpers. The ones still moving around in their bid to control and regulate the panicking clients were all Alex's subordinates and young army trainees. The staff that were officially hired were scared out of their minds, while each of the men kept calm, including the teenagers among them. They were used to the sounds of gun shots and missiles. Bombs exploding around them were no biggie, after all, they had seen worse. Besides, they knew that their boss made adequate preparations during the construction of Food Haven. Some were even yawning due to boredom, not bothered at all. Their calmness acted like balms to the customers, and the hired hands soon calmed down the moment they realized that their lives were safe.“Boss, you're here.” Mac greeted, rushing towards Alex. “How is the gun shot victim? Is he still alive?” Alex asked, walking deeper torwards the section housing the staf

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   HIS FOREVER PUZZLE

    Alex just held her as she cried, feeling confused on what to do. The sight of blood and casualties doesn't move him, but a crying woman had the ability to shut off his thinking capacity, especially if the woman in question was his woman.He felt confused by her outburst. Just a few days back, she was frowning her face and ignoring him simply because he lured her into getting intimate with him. At first, he had been confused about the reason she seemed unhappy afterwards, because she was definitely in the mood too at that moment. He simply decided to stay out of her way and do his duty by her, only showing up when his attention was needed.And today, the same woman that kept frowning her face at him threw herself into his arms, seeking for comfort. Eleanor was a puzzle which Alex would never be able to solve, making him give up on trying to understand her.Alex sighed helplessly and began to rub her back, while she cried and hiccuped against his shoulders.“Stop crying, please sweethea

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   LITTLE SECRETS

    Eleanor sighed and placed her head on Alex's shoulders, totally ignoring the questions.“Tell me,” Alex insisted, but she still kept mute.“If you don't tell me, I will make out with you right here. Tell me now to avoid feeling disgusted later. I need to know why you don't like being my woman, you hate it when I make love to you, despite the fact that I ensure you receive your pleasures first. I don't understand a lot of things about you. So, I have given up on trying to make you love me, or acting like an obsessed lover boy. But you're still the mother of my children, and we live together; I have a duty by you. Therefore, I need to understand you to make our lives easier. Why do you still hate me? Is it because you lost your inheritance because of me? Or did you break up with your boyfriend after I got you pregnant? Or do you just hate me and detest being my woman?”“Alex, I don't hate you, nor do I detest being your woman. And I never had a boyfriend either. As for the inheritance,

    “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
