THE ENCOUNTER
last update2024-06-22 19:45:13

Alex sat down in his study a few hours later, on his revolving leather chair, going through the piles of work before him. He had quickly sneaked away the moment Bing Yu Xue slipped into a tired sleep, and rushed back to his study.

The door opened at that moment, the door of his study opened, and an excited pair of feet ran in, followed by a more composed one.

“Luz, Tajana. What's wrong?”

“We have finally gotten a scoop on one of the hospitals recording missing kids.” They both shouted in excitement.

Alex frowned.

“One of you should talk to me, clearly. Tajana, what happened?”

“We have finally found leads and some solid evidence regarding the culprits that kidnapped school kids and patients from St Claire's hospital.”

Alex’s heart rate quickened in excitement.

“Give it to me.”

“It's Johnson Baltimore, second son and heir of the main branch of the Baltimore family. William Baltimore is one of his under dogs who follow him around begging for a lap.”

Alex burst into a heavy laughter.

    Alex ignored the sword tip at his neck and looked at her coldly.“What do you want?”“I want you to cure my grandfather. I already made you several generous offers that took lots of things from me, but like the arrogant man you are who thinks he's all this and that, you ignored my entreaties. Since you won't yield to gentle negotiations, I will drag you there by all means possible.”Alex chuckled.“How are you going to drag me there? Is it just you, or do you have a legion of soldiers behind you? You're just a stupid sheep dancing into the lion's den. Do you even know who I am? How dare you block my way and point your toy sword at me? If I get angry and tear you apart, no one will even notice. Now, step out of my way.” Alex snapped, moving forward and flicking her sword away with his fingers.She quickly blocked his path once again and made a slashing motion towards his neck.“Who do you think you are? Or who are you? Alexander Winthrop, or Lord Dracula, no matter how you stand before

    The girl looked up at Alex in alarm and he threw away her sun shades, pulling her close to his chest.“Little birds like you are better kept in cages. The only reason you're still alive now is because I didn't feel any killing intent from you. Leave now, before I decide to do it anyway.”“If it was not important to me, I wouldn't be here. Do you think I have all the time in the world to waste it here on the road arguing with someone that can't be reasoned with? Come with me, my grandfather really needs your help, we have tried other methods to no avail. You're the only one that has the ability to help him now.

    Alex drove into Food Haven, and noticed the crowd of people packed at the door way. Having a crowd was expected since today was the official opening of the restaurant, in addition to the relentless paid advertisement run by Alex's men.But the strange thing was that the crowd seemed to be attacking the people at the door. Two of Alex's men who were wearing nose masks were blocking the people trying to attack Eleanor, receiving the hits instead.He quickly adjusted his clothes and walked out of the car. “What's going on here?” Alex asked in a booming voice.“Asking people to pay sky high prices for their meals can be overlooked. But how can you offer us dirty and poisoned food? I will definitely report this to the food control agency. This shack is not worthy of being a four-star restaurant. It's not even worthy of a single star. What else should one expect from a retired prostitute?”“Watch your words!” Alex said coldly, dispersing the crowd around him with his aura. They quickly mov

    Alex's eyes that were like two chips of ice turned even colder. He pointed a clip to the wall and videos began to play on the wall before the audience. It showed them receiving money from Kendra Campbell to sabotage the restaurant and assuring her that Food Haven would definitely be closed down with immediate effect. It also showed them gather some hooligans making the most noise in the crowd and offer them good clothes to change into so that they can be allowed into the restaurant to make trouble, and him sneaking away while the crowd attacked Eleanor to tell kendra that he had successfully accomplished the mission, and Kendra laughing boisterously as she walked over to Food Haven to usher the guests to their restaurant.Alex made sure the scene was covered by newscasters on live broadcast, and videos of Kendra paying people to sabotage the restaurant were scattered to the internet and massively promoted. “You dared to walk in here to create mayhem after receiving a little token, do

    Alex sighed and pulled her back into his arms.“You don't have to worry about anything. Mac and I will handle the cooking, till the chef I arranged arrives, okay?”Eleanor nodded. “If it's Mac, I believe he can do it.”“Boss is the one you should be depending on in this case. I learned how to brew medicinal herbs with soups from him.” Mac said from the door, walking in with a huge shopping bag packed with rare materials he got from the base 2 kitchen.“You have arrived. I hope you packed only the lowest quality herbs on the shelf as I instructed.”“Of course, it's even a waste to use it on them. The restaurant will not be making substantial profits if we continue cooking with medicinal herbs.”“Just leave it to me, after today, I will go herb hunting and gather the required herbs in huge quantities. We won't touch the stack in the villa anymore. The quality is too high and might end up impacting the food if I'm not around to regulate it. But with lower herbs, it will retain the poten

    “What's wrong?” Alex asked, looking up from the pot while his assistant dabbed off the sweat forming on his forehead. “The guests are more than expected. Every room is occupied.”“Okay, you can seat them in the VVIP halls, and Ethereal quarters for today.”“People are already seated in the VVIP section. A group of politicians came in for lunch and occupied it. And the ethereal section is out of bounds as per your order. But someone powerful came in and was willing to pay the price to open the ethereal hall to find a seat for his group. There's literally no space. And a hundred people are still standing outside in queues by the window, complaining there's no seat, and that the food is taking too long to get to them.”“Send a message to the temporal base. The young men in training should come over here for their public service activities and join in serving the guests. Also, get seats from hirers and buy umbrellas and tents to provide temporary shade for today, while we think of how to

    Alex quickly brought out his medical tools and rushed outside. Already, people were murmuring and lots of them stopped eating to check what happened to the man, to avoid falling a victim.“Could it be an allergy? The man could be allergic to one of the herbs used in the preparation of the dishes.” Alex quickly walked to the man and laid him flat on his back. He wore hand gloves and checked the man's pulse and heart rate. He examined the man's eyes and mouth, and quickly reached for the box. Alex poured an elixir into his mouth and brought out a set of golden acupuncture needles.“Is it food poisoning?” A customer asked.“No.” Alex answered, using internal energy to place the needles on the man's body. He transfused some energy to him and the man coughed up a dark liquid and opened his eyes.Alex withdrew the needles and sterilized them before packing it up.“He ingested a toxic substance a long time ago, which weakened his body and organs. Immediately he took the herbal dishes, the

I fear that something might go wrong and ruin these expensive dishes.” Mac said, looking up from the pots he was using intenal energy to stir.“That's right , I need to finish the preparations and let the servers carry them away, before I leave the kitchen.” Alex quickly agreed, walking back to his workstation.He opened all the pots and specialized jugs, causing sweet aromas to Immediately fill up the kitchen. “Wow, just the scent of the dishes alone are rejuvenating my pores. I wonder how potent eating it will be.”“Of course, boss is the best in everything he does.” One of Mac's assistants said, looking up from the steak he was preparing.“Did you remember to marinated the meat in the herbal solution I prepared?” Alex asked, looking at him.“Of course.”“It seems that cooking the mix longer than normal on very low heat brought out the essence of the herbs. But it overshadowed some of the other ingredients.” Alex

    “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
