Alex looked at Ariella and sighed again.“She will wake up, I've got this.” “But what's wrong with her, why do you look so depressed and worried?” Luz whispered, frowning.“Ariella has a very rare physique. That's why I didn't let her train hard with guys. She was born a genius, and if I had let her work as hard as you guys, she would have awakened a martial soul by now. Or perhaps, be reaching for the Saint realm.” Alex muttered, making them turn to the unconscious Ariella in shock, their eyes filled with awe.They had always seen her as their pampered little sister, who needed protection from the harsh world. Who would have thought that she was even more talented than they were?“But why did you encourage her to be lazy, and focus more on business than cultivation? If she poured all that time she spent in research labs, offices, and with the tutors training in martial arts, we would have had another person comparable to Luz around. Ariel is also cultivating fast. If Ariella had the
Alex sat crosslegged on his bed, cultivating all night to stabilize his condition. Ariella's dizzy spell had aroused in him an urgency to level up, in addition to the powerful enemies round about him. He was yet to discern the identity of the Winthrop working with the evil cultivators, increasing his anxiousness. And then, there was a possibility of another spy being among his inner circle of trusted people, living with him in the same villa. There was also the threats to some of his businesses which he had openly claimed as his. He was surrounded on all sides, no matter how he looked at it, making him more desperate to break through to the god realm. He had been sitting inside the energy gathering arrays which he set up on his bed, alongside his precious immortal cultivation stone, tirelessly trying to level up all night. Alex had sat for hours, cultivating without rest, while trying to discern the godly steps of the true path, searching for his own door to the god realm. The first
Alex frowned and looked up at her, noticing her distress.“What's wrong with you? Why are you agitated?” Alex asked, getting up to face her.Eleanor's eyes darted to the file, making him frown.“Your family reached out to me, hoping to placate my anger. So they're offering you three subsidiaries. It was one initially, but after negotiating with your grandpa, he increased it to three. So, I was asking you to go through the terms of the agreement and see if there's anything you don't like, or a clause you would like to remove.” Alex whispered, making her sigh in relief.“What did you think the files contained?” Alex asked, feeling amused.“Divorce requests?” Eleanor answered, looking at him resentfully. “Our marriage wasn't registered in court. Where will the divorce come from? Besides, you didn't do anything to me, nor did we quarrel recently. Why would I want to throw the love of my life out of our house?” Alex whispered, cupping her cheeks. Eleanor pouted like a baby and hugged him
“He cried, so I want to take him back.” Bing Yu Xue insisted, reaching for the baby.“Go back to your seat, he was merely asking for more food, not looking for you.” Alex said, ignoring her.Bing Yu Xue frowned, stubbornly pursing her lips.“Bing Yu Xue, this child in my arms is first and foremost, my son before anyone else. I don't understand your need for ownership towards him. You can try to take him though if you think I'm intentionally making him cry.” Alex said, pretending to be amused while in fact he was very angry at being disobeyed.“Kaiser…” Yu Xue began, reaching for the baby. But the baby ignored her, rather holding Alex's hand with both of his hands, trying to push it into his mouth.Alex stared coldly at Bing Yu Xue, making her feel frightened, she quickly went back to her seat and continued eating grudgingly, not knowing why she suddenly felt afraid.“Mac, bring the special soup for the baby.” Alex said, making everyone frown. Mac brought out a very fragrant pot of so
Alex smiled warmly at her. “Do we need to go anywhere special? I will just drop by at CloudSea, and we will go shopping for goodies. Let's go out on a date. Don't you want?” Alex asked, still smiling. “Of course, I want. I will go get ready right away.” Ariella whispered with a grin, quickly getting up.Eleanor smiled happily, feeling happy to see father and daughter bonding. But her brothers just smiled sadly. They couldn't help but think that Alex was trying to distract her from engaging in any martial arts training for the day.“Can I tag along?” Aridan suddenly asked, looking at Alex.“Of course, you're Ariella's purse.” Alex replied without hesitation, making some of the people at the table chuckle.Eleanor smiled, thinking that a big family was not as bad as she initially imagined after all. As long as Alex was there to keep the peace, smooth things out, and also hold his men in check, there would be no problems at all. “Aridan, yesterday in your room, I saw a familiar girls'
Alex quickly dashed into another corridor in the hallway, following the complicated sections to another direction. He hid behind a cupboard housing cleaning supplies, waiting for the person to follow him. Immediately he finally got a whiff of the person's aura, he hissed and came out, grabbing the person by the arm, and pushed her into an empty changing room.Hera Vanderbilts yelped in shock as Alex caught a hold of her.“Why the fuck are you stalking me?” Alex growled, holding her arm tightly. “You're hurting me.” She whimpered, making Alex's eyes snap to the spot where he was holding her in a vice like grip.He loosened his hold and caressed her arm in apology, feeling remorseful. After the set back he experienced days ago, his senses became heightened, especially as he realized how serious they were to find him and gain their desires.“You know it's rude to stalk someone, right? What if I had acted rashly and ended up hurting you, thinking it was an assassin?” Alex asked with a sc
Alex watched her with furrowed brows, hearing bits of her call from the little sound waves reaching him from the phone.“What do you mean by young master is missing? That's your business, you better provide him as soon as possible.” Hera snapped, cutting off the call.“What's wrong?” Alex asked with a frown, pretending to be totally clueless.“The guards just told me that my little nephew is missing. They were with him as he walked around, but they suddenly can't find him. I need to go.” She whispered, hastily picking up her bag. Alex frowned, remembering that he intended to find Ariella just before he met Hera and got interrupted from his mission. “I will come with you, I also intended to find someone as well.” Alex whispered and got to his feet, hurriedly, adjusting his clothes. Hera rushed out of the room only to bump into some staff who was staring at them suspiciously.Alex ignored their gazes and went after her, pretending not to hear their hushed murmurs, suggesting that th
Alex noticed the drama going on but pretended not to see, keeping a poker face. Even Kaiser himself seemed to be enjoying Hera's discomfort. “I do appreciate the gesture, sir. However, what I yearn for the most is the health of the old man. As long as it's something you can help us with, please spare no expense in getting him well. That's what I truly want right now.” He whispered with a serene smile, inserting one of his hands into his trouser pocket. Hera sighed in relief and Kaiser smirked at him, earning him an evil glare from her. However, he wasn't perturbed in the very least. He merely chuckled and pretended he didn't see her anger.“That's good, then. Dad, my friend here is a very filial son. So, you have to help good people as much as possible. We should set off right away and check on his grandpa. Let's go dad.” Ariella said, grabbing Alex's arm.“Excuse me? Right now, I have other things to do young lady.” Alex said, trying to disengage her hold on him. “Cancel your sche
