Raz quickly tried to explain, feeling frightened by his anger.

“No, no, no. It's not that. They didn't place an assasination bounty. The person wants to pay for your medical skills. And they seem really desperate to pay for the general's time. The family is a powerful family from Southern Dale, but they have businesses and branches all over the world. And their second main branch is in Veneco, where their matriarch hails from. And…”

“I'm not interested in knowing who they are or what they want. I don't need the details, so spare yourself the stress. I have more important things to do than helping a random old politician who afraid of death when he's definitely the culprit behind so many deaths. I'm not offering any medical skills for now, whoever it is can go to hell.” Alex snapped, walking away.

Raz shrugged.

“I meant to tell you that; ‘And the young boy that helped your daughter is also his grandson. Won't you help your benefactor also?” He muttered under his breath.

    Right before Alex's eyes, a glass coffin began to rise from the ground, through the rectangular hole that appeared on the ground.There was a woman dressed in a pristine white gown in the coffin, there were two dragon horns on her head, and her blonde hair was deep and immaculate. She was still decked in ropes of expensive jewels which were used to design her hair, and form a web like princess crown in her hair, just like that of ancient Chinese princesses. There was a single pendant on her neck and it was made of a transparent crystal, blue liquid was swirling around in it.She was holding a silver colored staff, with a sharp end, which was shaped like a sword blade. It was a staff, and also a sword. Her hands were holding the staff-sword on her belly while another bracelet, made of the same piece as her pendant was adorning her wrist. But she wasn't wearing any shoes. Her feet were fair and spotless, and her cheeks still rosy as if she was merely sleeping, instead of death.The pers

    Alex quickly went higher into the crowd to avoid detection by the powerful mages he was trailing. He also avoided the use of magical items that gave off high frequency waves. It was obvious to him that he was stalking a pro with an unknown cultivation base, so he had to be very careful and employ all his tracking tactics to avoid detection.Even though he had been trying to see through the person wearing the cloak, he didn't manage to suceed. If he made any more attempts, he will definitely be discovered, causing him to desist from wantonly probing her.They drove for nearly an hour, leaving the city lights far behind. Soon, they veered into winding paths of peasant villages, slowly going up a mountainous path.If Alex thought that their journey would end at the top of the mountain, he was in for another surprise.There was a tunnel which they veered into mid way up the mountain, driving for miles till they arrived at level ground.Following them in the tunnel took all the discipline

    Eleanor stirred and the monitoring system beeped severally, recording the return of her conscious mind. There was a huge noise downstairs, giving her a pounding headache.She faintly remembered Alex attending to her, and his whispers with the woman on her bedside was still remembered.She could also faintly remember Aridan reporting something about an ongoing war, and Alex whispering things to her.There were sounds of helicopters stopping before the entrance portico to the main villa.“Damn! Stop talking already.” She whispered, closing her eyes.“Congratulations, Lord Luz!” “Welcome home, the winning team.” “Winner ooo ooo ooo, Winner. Winner oooo oooo oooo, Winner.”The annoying chants reverberated through the air as the men in the villa cheered the returning soldiers who accompanied Luz to command the troops at the war front, getting victory in just two days. It was one of the shortest battles in the history of international wars. The attacking team suffered a crushing defeat,

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   MEETING THE LOVE RIVAL

    The other soldiers guarding the two gates had also joined to share the happiness, the moment they saw the helicopters returning.The two gates were securely locked, and monitors showing the surveillance footage of the two gates and areas of a ten mile radius surrounding the gates, were held by the two team leaders, and their assistants. This ensured that they could keep an eye on the gates’ safety even while celebrating.The twins rushed to Luz, and he hugged them with a huge smile on his face.“Congratulations brother.” Ariel whispered in admiration.“Is it true that you have been promoted to the rank of a commander?” Ariella asked, as Luz picked up the eager chatter bird in his arms.Although Ariel and Ariella were twins, it seems as if Ariella was way younger because of her bubbly spirit and the way everyone carries her around. She was the cute, noisy one, who seeks attention unapologetically and gets it. Ariella was the baby of the house; cute and troublesome, who always wanted to

    The question left everyone at a loss for words. Bing Yu Xue was especially embarrassed as she wondered how Alex would have introduced her assuming he was around.“Mom!” Ariella shouted in excitement, waving her fists.“She's the ba….” Aridan quickly covered her mouth with his palm to prevent her from saying more. She looked into Aridan's eyes and kept quiet, albeit resentful.Bing Yu Xue clenched her fists. It was obvious that Ariella was going to say something about her being the bad woman.Luz quickly got up, and went to her, taking her hand.“Mom, are you alright now?” He whispered with a gentle smile, looking up at her.Eleanor smiled with a hint of motherly Indulgence, and her scowl disappeared.“I heard you did well, I'm so proud of you. But you're too young to be doing such things. However, you're worthy of being emulated, you're the best son anyone could ever ask for, courageously rising to the occasion. If he sends you on an errand you don't want, you have to tell me, so we

    Alex appeared in her room and threw her on the bed angrily, tearing off his cloak. Eleanor was frightened by his aura and the look of anger on his face. He had been restraining himself in public, but there was no longer any need for that since they were in the privacy of her room.“You, what are you doing? How dare you bring a woman home without my permission? You owe me an explanation. I'm the one that should be angry, not you.” Eleanor said in panic, moving back on the bed.Alex stripped the remnants of his clothing at that moment and climbed the bed, pinching her jaws between his fingers. His eyes were cold and angry, frightening Eleanor immensely. He had only ever gazed at her with tenderness and indulgence; the desperate and helpless look in his eyes each time she acted wantonly made her bolder. But now, he was nothing short of a beast, making her wonder if he wanted to hurt.He forced her to look at his furious face.“You have no respect and you have no fear. You do not regard m

  • THE MAN CALLED GOD   LIFE OF A GREAT MAN

    The dining room had a solemn air as they mentally speculated what Alex was doing to her. It was obvious that she would be punished, most of them had never seen him so angry. The question was how? Bing Yu Xue felt a few people giving her murderous glares, and looked up. However, she didn't catch anyone looking at her. They were either eating slowly or discussing in hushed tones, the jovial air around them had almost totally disappeared. The more matured men among them dismissed the scene as that of a husband teaching an errant wife. He wouldn't do anything over the board, he would only correct her with love and teach her how to keep a family.“She is said to be stubborn, and Lord Dracula used to love her a lot and dote on her. She's the cause of her own misfortune. Besides, who expects such a powerful and excellent man as lord Dracula to keep only one woman? It would be a waste of his superior genes. She's just being immature and jealous.” one of the soldiers whispered to his neighbor

    “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
