Alex zoomed to the area he left the baby, appearing a few inches away from the blanket in a flash. Alex looked around and saw Kaiser holding onto the expensive shatoosh fur coverings he sprayed on the center table/ magical drawer where he kept antiques. Sacred weapons, and several training guides were also locked away in the drawers.“Kaiser! Oh my goodness!” Alex roared as he stared red eyed at what Kaiser had done. He was unscatched and healthy quite alright, but the table now looked as if a cyclone ran through it. Kaiser spared a glance at him, before he went back to the table, grabbing a hold of the shatoosh fur covering to pull himself up. “No!” Alex shouted, diving towards him. He quickly grabbed Kaiser with his right hand, while his left stopped the things on the table from toppling over.“You little rat! How dare you?” Alex growled as he carried up Kaiser with a beating heart, and looked at the mess the little one made on the floor. He had smashed two very expensive antiques
Alex brought the bracelet close to his ear to hear the details clearly.He sighed and quickly straightened up. “I would have given you a lesson on parenting and manners, but I have more pressing things to do. Thank your stars and reflect on yourself till I get back.” Alex said in a low voice and turned to leave while Yu Xue sat there with a docile expression.A little fist grabbed Alex's finger, stopping him from leaving.Alex turned to Kaiser who was smiling and grinning so happily at him. His heart melted once again and his expression mirrored the love in the baby's eyes. His quarrel with Yu Xue seemingly had no effect on the baby for he still loved and trusted his father.Alex bent over the boy's face while he lay on Yu Xue's lap smiling at him, as if hoping to lure him into staying back.“My handsome big boy, I need to go somewhere. I will be back before you know it, okay. I love you, daddy loves you a lot, more than everything.” he whispered, and kissed the baby's forehead, nose
Alex was literally dying in frustration, even though Aridan was doing his best to meet up with time. “Aridan, I think you should park somewhere so that I can take the wheels.” Alex said, making Aridan's heart skip a beat.“No boss, that's not proper at all. You're very anxious, and driving in your current condition is not advisable. Besides, if you push the car with your true energy, it will definitely explode. Your energy will be too powerful for the car to take. We are almost there, please calm down boss. Nothing will happen to Lady Eleanor, we will make it in time. It has just been fifteen minutes and we are already close to Hill City state boundary. Halendale is just a little town in Hill City's remote areas. Within the next five minutes, we will definitely arrive beside Lady Eleanor. Please calm down, don't act recklessly because you're anxious, to avoid making mistakes.” Aridan pleaded, pushing the car as fast as he could. Alex sighed and closed his eyes. In as much as he want
“Keep mute and continue monitoring them, while watching out for more evil cultivators.” Alex whispered and stood upright, caressing the shivering Eleanor's back to keep her calm.“Can I have your attention please?” Alex said in a booming voice which he infused with energy, finally grabbing their attention. “We don't want to hear anything. She's an incompetent slut who can't provide a proper working condition for the people slaving away for her.” Someone roared from the crowed, making Alex annoyed. He would have taught the idiot a lesson, but unfortunately, he was on a diplomatic mission. He had to calm down and allow the mad dogs bark.“What about the incompetence of the workers working in the company? My wife was not in the company when the fire happened, how did the fire become her fault? I have not taken it up with the careless workers who let something go wrong, destroying properties and assets worth millions in the process. Who is going to compensate us for what we lost? Who is
The man's eyes widened and he quickly tried to shield himself. But of course, Alex wouldn't let him. High tech guns, daggers, and explosives, in addition to a few unknown materials were strapped to his body. He quickly tried to take Eleanor hostage, but Alex was faster. He kicked him away, and the man quickly twirled mid air and changed his fingers to claw stance, trying attack Alex's carotid artery to strike him down in one swoop. Alex met his claw with a palm strike, swatting him away, while simultaneously sending a kick his way. He still made another dive towards Eleanor, making his intentions obvious.Alex quickly threw Eleanor up and Aridan caught her, swirling mid air with her in his hands. Their eyes met, and Aridan smiled at her, silently reassuring her with the promise of his protection. At that moment, her heart skipped a few beats and began to race. But she was unable to determine if it was the handsome young man smiling at her beneath the mask, or the novelty of the frigh
Alex pretended not to notice anything and concentrated on the crowd before him. There were more saboteurs of course, but he pretended not to notice since they wouldn't dare behave rashly for fear of being discovered. Soon, Alex's men in Hill City who were posing as members of the police arrived to help quell things. “Please, if you or either of your relatives are wounded, move to the side. The workers who were trapped in the fire should please move to the relief tents being set up.” Alex announced in a loud voice just as his ‘police officers’ took the captured saboteurs away. Some of the ‘policemen’ had set up some tents at a corner just outside the factory's gates, waiting for the treatment to commence. Shadow's voice filtered into Alex’s ears, making him pause for a while. “Boss, I'm here. The assassins suddenly withdrew at the last minute. However, the one I wanted to take hostage was killed by his teammates before they escaped.” He whispered to Alex through the chip they used
“Alex,” Eleanor called, making his steps to halt in between going after the evil aura he felt. He turned towards her with a smile, trying to hide his anxiousness. “Babe, what's wrong? You look all flustered, did something happen?” She whispered, tightly holding his arm with a look of anxiousness on her face. Alex turned and gave her a slight smile. “Um, weren't you busy with the workers? You should go back to them and sort things out. Also, my people are busy with the investigation. You should recall that the authorities are ignoring this case, you have to tackle it yourself since it's obvious they have been bribed. Go talk about compensation and insurance with them, hurry up, it will soon be morning.” Alex whispered urgently and pushed her to the tent, while ignoring the look of indignation on her face. “Where are you going? Why does it seem as if you're in so much hurry? What happened? I feel nervous watching you leave, I don't want you to get hurt.” Eleanor whispered, making
Alex chuckled, not feeling really surprised that the man detected his presence. The wicked wizard masquerading under the monk's kayak was obviously a force to be reckoned with. To be able to commit such atrocities with so much smoothness required much more than ruthlessness; it required strength and a sly spirit acquired through ages of warfare. He appeared before the man wearing his mask. He was no longer dressed like the corporate shark he depicted less than an hour ago. No, he had shed the Alexander Winthrop identity and assumed that of Lord Dracula to stalk the monster. He was girded in a totally black attire, and his outer suit jacket had been removed, replaced by a leather one. Black gloves adorned his hands, and his signature black mask was on his face. “Coming over here to follow me like this, you must have lots of guts, young man.” He said, looking at Alex. “I could day the same for you, committing so many atrocities till the stench of your evil saturates the heaven, aren'
