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
Alex ignored her, walking towards his study.“Oh, really? Wait in the blue study then. Mac, take the madam and the baby to their respective rooms, and set the table for lunch. Ariella is hungry,” Alex said, setting down the baby on her feet.He turned to leave and almost immediately, Arielle followed him.He stopped and turned to her, noticing the mischievous smile on her face.“Ariella, it's not gonna work,” he simply said, smirking at her.“Why? I just want to come with you?” She said cutely batting her eyelashes.Alex began to laugh, pinching her cheeks.“You want to play spy for your mom, but I caught you. You can't outsmart me, I'm your dad,” he said with mirth, sending hot discussions up in the room.They were all surprised that her seemingly innocent actions were calculated. They only saw a three-year-old tagging after her father, while Alex saw an intelligent girl, trying to sniff out information.“Why don't you want mommy to know? You didn't answer her questions,” Ariella imm
“Is heaven conniving to take my kids away as punishment? I won't let them!” He growled angrily, his face pinched in worry.“Baby girl, lie down,” he whispered, laying her back on the bed.Ariella silently obeyed, noticing Alex's foul mood.Alex began to inspect her various acupoints, his heart sinking more by the second.“Daddy, what's wrong? You look like you're about to cry. Is something wrong with me?” Ariella asked worriedly, making Alex look up at her with a warm smile.“It's nothing. It only means that you will be very powerful in the future,” he quickly reassured.However, Ariella kept looking at him suspiciously, obviously not taking all he said at face value. It's not always good for kids to be too smart.Alex sighed as he pondered on his discovery. He had realized that Ariella had the immortal ice jade physique, one of the most powerful physique structures for cultivators and assassins.Anyone with the ice Jade physique is practically a biological weapon. One would think it'
Alex hid on a bamoa tree in the valley of the chaotic forest, watching the pack of siagans guarding the wanderer's soul reviving flowers he's after. They apparently made it their nest because of the rich spiritual energy that was packed densely around it due to the flower. The flower had the ability to revive anyone in a coma, no matter how long they had slept. It brings back their wandering souls to the body, merging them together to revive the person, hence its name.It also had the ability to rebuild the mind, calm and broaden the spiritual sea, remove any toxins or abscess cerebral fluid in the brain, and sharpen the memory. No matter the level of one's madness and the cause, the immortal flower can cure the person, restoring its sanity.However, many people don't know of its existence, nor do they know where to find it.Alex only knows certain secret things about the Milky Way galaxy due to his level of cultivation and insight, in addition to his unlimited access to ancient text
Alex swallowed nervously. He had never felt afraid of anything for years now, but his heart was currently beating like a mad samba drum as he tightened his hands on his weapons. He had quickly unsheathed the long sword on his waist, moving it to his right, while the dagger was held in the left to act as a shield. He adjusted the backpack quickly, keeping an eye on the ancestor as they circled him, moving closer to entrap him in a close circle.“Old monster, you seem pretty confident of killing me. Isn't that too presumptuous?” He asked mockingly, charging at the Siagan ancestor.“You're digging your grave, idiot,” the Siagan muttered, watching Alex, who was rushing towards his direction.The siagans excelled in close combat due to their natural strength, flexibility and endowment, so anyone's best bet when faced by a powerful Siagan would be to run as far as possible.The Siagan ancestor quickly slashed out a claw, but Alex quickly met it with his meteoric iron sword.A loud metallic
