“That's enough now. Allow your elder cousin to enjoy her food in peace. Once you both are done with the crab sauce and skin revitalizing soup, you may leave. You already have a taste. 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. I will also like to see how loyal our dear cousin is to her boyfriend.” Liliana said, still wearing her calm innocent smile on her fa
After three hours, Hera opened her eyes and stood up.The old man hurried to her and quickly removed the formations.“Wow. You're looking so beautiful. 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. And I'm glad it's only us that knows he has this ability, we will quickly think about how to get him to our camp. I'm leaving everything to you, but I don't have much time, so you need dependable supporters around you. Do you understand?”“Wow, grandpa, you can now walk on your own. You look so great. Just his dishes could perform such miracle,
Chapter 269 Realm of timeAfter an hour, the time machine landed outside a forest whose exteriors were weaved with thorns.The place looked eerie and desolate, causing goosebumps to appear on Aridan's body.He steeled his heart and reminded himself that real men fear nothing.He got down from the shuttle and some protective armors flew out of the shuttle to encase him. 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
CHAPTER 270 vain pursuitsAridan sighed, and went down on one knee, paying respect to the owner of the great sword who staked everything she had on the line to save earth; her unborn child, her identity, her life, her future, and the love of her life. But she got no thanks in return, rather the jealous others kept saying: ‘good riddance to bad rubbish. They should as well die, so that no man may lord over us.’However, the greedy men forgot that there would be no ‘us’ without their sacrifices.Yes, the godzilla alone was enough to reduce the humans of earth to a paste of mangled flesh and blood, and the accompanying dragons will finish the work by burning everything after them. Perhaps, if not for Chu Yan of the legends, and his imperial harem army, and the strongest immortal Sword Saintess of the seventh realm Yue Tin, there would be no earth to live in. And there would be no humans today. It would have been totally overtaken by monsters. But they definitely didn't think that far yet
A huge shadow Immediately closed over Aridan, flying through the air to dive on him.Aridan quickly bent backwards, pushing his flaming sword into the creature.The creature howled in anger and landed sturdily on the floor.It ejected the sword out of its body and used fire to seal the wounded spot. “How dare you, little mortal? Did you imagine you could hurt me in my own turf?” He growled furiously.“Baby rahatu, move away quietly, like a good baby demon. Otherwise, don't blame me when the result appears.” Aridan smirked.“Mortal, you must think too highly of yourself.” the rahatu growled.Without warning, the rahatu dived towards Aridan, with his claw extended.Aridan quickly met it with his sword, and his iron boot with spikes below it hit the demon's belly, leaving deep lines on it with blood trickling out.The demon angrily shot out another claw towards Aridan eyes, and in that moment, the all seeing eyes Immediately made Aridan see creatures like millions of soldier ants hidden
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
