Alex lay on his bed, sleeping with a frown on his face, his body was matted with sweat as he turned around on the bed, with black fumes swirling around him."I went to Luz bar to drink with my friends. While coming home, I hit a pregnant woman and killed her with my car. I swear it was not intentional. The crack they gave me was stronger than usual, and the drinks made it worse, making me unable to focus on the road. The police already found out that the driver took some drugs. I can't go to prison, save me. Please save me. You love me, don't let them take me away,"*****"How many times have I warned you to stop taking cocaine? How many times have I warned you to leave that evil clique? What do you want me to do? You said the police were already following you. I can only try to visit some government and court officials to release you. Damn it!"*****"Excuse me? You want me to lie to the court and take the fall for your mistakes, even when you know that I can easily bail you out afte
Sweat was matting Alex's forehead as he struggled against the dark hand holding his throat tightly.His eyes snapped open and he pushed the hand away, hurriedly sitting up.“Are these the dark memories Luz talked about, that are hiding in my mind which will consume me when I lose guard? I thought I have gone past all those traumas and disappointments, leaving that dark place behind. Why am I remembering those bitches again? Is the dark book so powerful that it can play tricks on someone of my level? Or was it because my cultivation and spiritual sea was destabilized, due to the crack in my cultivation foundation? No! I'm too big for my mind to play tricks on me. What just happened here?” Alex wondered, looking around.At that moment, he noticed a human skull with a weird pair of eyes. The right eye was green, while the other was red. The dark smoke was still swirling around the area, slowly receding into a black earthenware pot under the skull.Alex's mind Immediately got sharper, an
Alex's eyes widened on hearing Luz's thoughts.“No sweetheart, you know I don't care what anyone thinks when it comes to you, I will protect you with my life. Although my memories of your mom are hazy, she was the light in my life like you are, standing firmly beside me at a time humans I call my relatives deserted me. And everyday, I try to recall what such an angel looks like. Baby, it's not that.” Alex whispered, cupping his face.“If you're not ashamed of me, then what's the problem?” Luz asked, staring straight at Alex.“I'm worried because you're my son, and I love you. I don't want dark magic to consume you. I don't want you to tow the path of Lucifer. Lucifer was so talented, he was a very versatile warrior, one of the most powerful commanders of the armies of the third heaven. Only a few like Michael were as strong as he was, or perhaps, slightly more powerful than he was. But the genius whom all the armies of third heaven looked up to ended up as a frightening evil because o
Alex frowned at him in disapproval.“Are you going nuts? Why will you have such a ridiculous thought?” “The accusation in your voice says it all. You think I sent it because I was controlled by dark magic, but you don't mind it either way, as long as I stop. Is that what you were trying to say?” Luz questioned, a dark frown on his face.“I know you didn't send it. How can you bear to hurt a father that loves you so much? And I know you love me too, as much as I love you. I know you used your blood and that of Ariella’s to prepare the antidote. Even if your sister has a cold energy, she's not my woman, you shouldn't have stolen blood from her. And even if you can't bear to see me hurt, you shouldn't have slashed two years off your life while trying to perform a forbidden magic above your expertise. And you're still owing the black book a fucking compensation, which I will never let you pay. While trying to dig up the wind trail ox-head for the formation, you spoiled parts of the prote
Alex stood behind Ariella, channeling warm energy into her body while she circulated more of it, using it to recover her energy which she depleted during the course of her morning training.As Alex promised, he was set to teach her how to float and run over the walls, balance on the ceiling like a ninja, and stand on very tiny objects without losing her balance.“Dad, I'm no longer tired, let's continue.” Ariella said happily, her eyes twinkling as she looked around the preliminary training room, checking out the next spots to conquer and scale.Alex smiled at her enthusiasm and threw her high up in the air, watching her flip a few times, before quickly landing on all fours.“Mm-hmm. You have really recovered your stamina. But remember that you have been instructed to cut down on cakes and sweets to build up your organs and stamina to be stronger.” Alex said, watching her as she stretched her body.He immediately grabbed her, flipping her severally while letting her stand on his outst
Raz smiled, hiding his irritation.“You need to be blindfolded as they drive through the secret route. Only the people escorting you are privy to the route. And that refers to the top tier members of the base. You're not yet a top tier member, I mean, you obviously haven't joined the training to become one yet. So till you join and complete the training, you have to stay blindfolded anytime a secret route is used to take you to safety, or drive you out.” Raz quickly explained, still keeping the smile on his face.“Bullshit! You simply don't trust me enough to have me going through your secret places. What training and membership? I didn't ask to join your damned gang. Stop barking out nonsense.” Eleanor snapped angrily, glaring at him in irritation.“Yes, I don't trust you. Even if the boss is blinded by love and thinks that everything you do is alright, I'm not. Why will I let you know the secret route when you always scream out how much you hate him and the kids for ruining your lif
“Luz, what do you mean? It's not worth it going against one of your sworn brothers for this.” Ikaris whispered, pulling on Luz's arms.However, Luz stubbornly looked up at him, his cold and emotionless eyes piercing through Raz.“No matter what, she's the general's woman. Even if they're not the best of friends now due to whatever issues best known to them, she's still his woman. And most importantly, you shouldn't have insulted mom in my presence.” Luz said coldly, obviously not backing down.“And when did Miss Eleanor become your mom?” Raz whispered with an unhappy frown.“If I say she's my mom, then she is. Apologize to my mom.” Luz insisted, his cold aura seeping out.“Luz, don't. It's not worth it.” Eleanor whispered, trying to reach out to Luz, but his aura Immediately had her staggering back.“Your aura can't force me to do what I don't want to do. So, save it for some other time, young master.” Raz spat, before turning to Eleanor.“I apologize madam. I must admit I spoke rashl
“Yes, sir. This is all the information we were able to gather. However, it's difficult for us to determine if he indeed lives at the penthouse of the pacific building which he drives out from because of the strict surveillance kept for the tenants in the building.”“Of course, a building where the richest and most popular people in the country buy an apartment to cool off would be anything but easy to breach. Especially since it is rumored to be owned by that group. However, I don't believe he lives in an apartment building. There must be another house somewhere, and that place is the real deal which we are looking for.” Karen said, casually taking the Mac book which his assistant came in with to read through the details of the investigation.“If the idiot I know is still the same old Alex, he will definitely try to crash in here, and break in using any means possible. So we need to have a huge gift ready for him the moment he shows up.” Karen whispered with a wicked smirk, his finger
