For some minutes, Jeffery ate silently with Rita and her father, savoring each delicacy, which appeared to be more delicious than the former. Although he had been enjoying good dishes for some time now, they still couldn't compare to what was being offered to him at this moment. The deliciousness of the dishes couldn't even be described with words, making Jeffery feel ecstatic.

I didn't know the Stirling family also had top-notch chefs, he thought to himself as he ate a proportional piece of chicken. Not only are the chefs professional, but they're talented as well. It's as if they cooked these dishes from the depths of their hearts. It's like nothing I've ever eaten before.

"I can see you must be enjoying the dishes," Mr. Stirling said as he ate a spoonful of rice.

"Your chefs are really amazing, Sir—Mr. Stirling," Jeffery said. Even though Mr. Stirling had told him to stop addressing him formally, he still felt compelled to do so. This was because the man seated in front of him was

    When Jeffery heard the request from Mr. Stirling, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, wondering what the man was talking about. What did he mean by the statement he had just made? What was he planning to do that involved his survival? "Dad, please don't talk this way," Rita said as she turned to face Mr. Stirling. "Please don't talk as if you're going to die when you're not. We'll go through this together." "Yes, Mr. Stirling," Jeffery chipped in. "I think it hasn't come to the point where anyone is going to die. I believe there's a way to solve this problem." You people don't understand what is at stake here, Mr. Stirling thought to himself as he took a deep breath. You don't understand what's going on because something like this has never happened to you before... "Sir, I'm going to try everything in my power to make sure nothing happens to the Stirling Enterprise," Jeffery said with a stern expression, making a promise to Mr. Stirling. "I will make sure the Stirling famil

    Kimiko shivered as he knelt before a figure seated on a very high chair. This figure exuded a terrifying presence and was shrouded in shadows, making his true appearance impossible to discern. Just from the way Dan Kimiko was trembling in front of this person, it was clear that this individual was far more powerful than him."You allowed yourself to be defeated like that by that new alchemist," the figure said in a deep, emotionless voice."I-I'm sorry, Master!" Kimiko immediately bowed. "I underestimated him greatly and thought he wasn't this powerful. I didn't know he had already mastered the five elements and could use them in ways I can't even imagine!""He's mastered the five elements?" the unknown person asked, leaning forward to take a better look at Kimiko, who was already sweating in fear."Y-yes!" Kimiko stammered. "He used a skill I've never experienced, seen, or heard of before! It trapped me and the other bodyguards in an illusion! I was so afraid that I almost killed mys

    The next day Jeffery decided not to go to his pharmaceutical company as usual to overlook the sales of his products. Instead he called the manager who was personally handpicked by Rita herself and told him that he wouldn't be able to make it today. Although the manager was quite hesitant about the whole thing, she still ended up listening to him at the end of the day.That afternoon Jeffery was seen standing in front of a building located at the outskirts of the city. He was dressed in a casual black outfit with a pair of sneakers, making him look normal compared to everyone in that neighborhood. This would help him look very inconspicuous and not draw any attention to himself. Now that an unknown foe was targeting the Stirling family he had to keep a low profile so that his plans wouldn't be ruined.Earlier that day he had browsed through several news and articles looking for capable detectives who were in the city. He wanted to uncover the true identity of the unknown foe who

    Jeffery who still didn't know the identity of the other party behind him decided not to do anything and remained seated in the couch. It was not as if he was afraid of the other party because he was able to sneak up on him. It was actually because he wanted to create an image of him being not bothered by the individual. After all if he wanted to, he could easily use one of his air based spells to move fast enough to evade whatever attack the other party would throw at him."I'm not here for trouble," he answered in a very calm voice. "I'm just looking for someone.""You're looking for someone?" the other party asked in a feminine voice. "Then what are you doing in this house? You're supposed to wait outside.""Well, I couldn't help it since it was really urgent," Jeffery said. "There are several lives at stake so I decided it was the best thing to do.""You decided that breaking into someone's house is the best thing to do?" the female who was behind him asked while still pointing t

    After commissioning Detective John Blonde to indirectly investigate the identity of the unknown foe who was trying to obliterate the Stirling family, Jeffery left the building. Of course John Blonde offered him a cup of coffee but he refused, saying that he had something very important to do."Now that I've told Blonde what to do, I'll be rest assured that she will give me results," Jeffery told himself as he walked onto the streets. "The articles wouldn't call her the number one private detective for nothing."While coming Jeffery hadn't taken his driver along, opting to take a cab instead. Hence he would be taking a cab back to the Stirling family mansion as well. But after standing on this desolate street which was in the outskirts of the city for a long period of time without seeing any cab, he gave up the idea of taking a cab home. He couldn't wait here all day so he decided to go back home on foot."I'm way stronger than normal humans so jogging back home wouldn't tire me out th

    When Jeffery saw the ATVs approach him with so much speed, he already knew that something was very wrong. And with his superhuman reflexes and perception he was able to leap into the air just as the door opened. Hence before the men in black even got the chance to shoot him, he had already leaped over the two vehicles to the other side.The men who had shot at him were rendered speechless when they suddenly didn't see Jeffery standing where he had been some moments ago. They immediately got down the vehicles, spreading across the street. It was at that time they saw Jeffery standing at the other side of the street."You're looking for me, aren't you?" Jeffery asked as he looked at the men in black who numbered up to twenty people. All of them were wielding AK-47s and were armed to the teeth. It was at this moment Jeffery got the chance to see different kinds of close combat weapons he has never seen before.When Jeffery asked the strange question, the men in black couldn't help but lo

    jeffery took slow steps, staring at each of the men who were dressed in black. He maintained a very calm demeanour which made him look as if nothing in this world would be able to bother him. It was as if he was a god walking on earth with the way he was behaving right now.Since all the men in black had been rendered immobile by the needles which blocked their acupoints, they could only watch as Jeffery approached each of them slowly. They watched helplessly without being able to do anything about the situation."It seems ice underestimated my enemies greatly," Jeffery said to no one in particular. "I couldn't have imagined that they would take the initiative to kill me at this very moment."After saying this he stopped in front of one of the men in black. This man had a brown hair and eyes with a very young face. Obviously he was in his early twenties from the way he looked."I'm going to unblock your acupoints responsible for your speech and movement of the head," Jeffery said. "An

    When Jeffery saw Kimiko alight the car and walk towards him, he couldn't help but become very amused. This was because this was the same individual he had used the Abyssal Baptism on, making him drown in absolute fear. If he had not minimized the effect of the spell none of the bodyguards and Kimiko would have been able to awaken from their illusions. But here was the same person planning to kill him. And not only did he send a group of whimsical thugs to kill him, he also made the mistake of appearing in person."You just don't learn, do you?" Jeffery said as he raised his eyebrows, staring at Kimiko as if he was just some random pest which could be taken care of at any point of time. "You think you're powerful enough to defeat me but you're not."When Kimiko heard this he clenched his fists and took a deep breathe. Images of how Jeffery easily dodged or blocked all his attacks and dealt with the bodyguards before dealing with him kept on replaying in his mind. He remembered that emb

    After realizing that the other advanced alchemist was already dealing with Kimiko, Jeffery immediately rushed towards Yuri who was seated on the ground and tapped him on his acupoints, blocking his mana instantly. This way he wouldn't be able to heal and escape no matter what.He then turned to Rita and said, "I need to see how Kimiko is doing. He's fighting against an advanced alchemist and I don't think he's going to hold out for long."Rita nodded and said, "Go along. I'm behind you.""No," Jeffery said as he grabbed Rita and carried her. "I'm not going to leave you here. You're coming with me immediately."This was because there could be more assassins hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike. He couldn't allow Rita to be endangered no matter because he had already made a promise to Mr. Stirling. He had to protect his daughter no matter what, even if his life was put on the line.The moment Jeffery grabbed and carried her, a warm feeling immediately spread

    Without even been hit by Sasuke Kimiko could feel his the blood in his entire body boil from the attack. It was as if his blood has turned into acid, trying to melt his skin. But then he didn't allow that to stop him from dodging the fist aimed at his head, dodging in another direction. But he was very slow for Sasuke who immediately kicked his back with his right foot.The impact of the kick sent Kimiko flying into the air. He then crashed to the ground with a loud thud, rolling across the ground for some seconds before coming to a stop near a fountain."You think you can suddenly defeat me because you've spent some time with Jeffery?" Sasuke said as he walked towards Kimiko. "You think you've suddenly gotten the boldness to suddenly defeat me? You're nothing but an idiot if you think that's the case!"With those words Sasuke immediately lunged towards Kimiko, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him into the air. This caused Kimiko to choke but there was nothing he could do because

    The advanced alchemist who had been tasked with killing Kimiko couldn't help but scoff when he saw him take a fighting stance. This was because he felt this was absolutely futile. He was already an advanced alchemist while Dan Kimiko was only a professional alchemist. Even if he was one level higher than Kimiko, the gap was too big. He would be able to crush him without even using his full strength!"I think you should know by now that there's nothing you'd be able to do," the advanced alchemist said as he walked towards Kimiko who was already bleeding. "I'm way powerful than you, Kimiko."When he said this he raised his face so that Kimiko could see who he was. And it was at this moment Kimiko recognized the advanced alchemist, his eyes widening in horror. This was because he knew this advanced alchemists very well. He was one of the few renowned advanced alchemists in Japan. He was even among the top twenty alchemists in the entire Japan! He was none other than Yuri Sasuke!"Now tha

    A few minutes ago.Kimiko was still standing, watching over the surrounding just like Jeffery had asked him to do. Several times it crossed his mind to escape but he decided against it. It wasn't because he was afraid that Jeffery would retaliate against him if he escaped. No, that wasn't the truth.The reason he didn't leave was because he felt that he could have so much opportunity to grow with Jeffery. This was something he had not felt when he was with his master and it was really strange. Although Jeffery still had not mentioned anything about alchemy to him and had just created a potion to cure him and Javier, he was still optimistic that he would be able to grow.Hence he decided to remain and watch the surrounding, immediately waving the thought of escaping from his mind. He had already given his word that he would remain as Jeffery's bodyguard and he was going to do so no matter what."Master always wanted me to remain a professional alchemist," Kimiko told himself. "I'm not

    When Jeffery told Rita that I was a master alchemist she was still confused. She didn't understand what he was saying because she had not heard of an alchemist before. She could only stare at Jeffery, waiting for him to explain things to her."You've heard about alchemists in books, right?" Jeffery said. "You should have also heard about them in real life, right?""I've definitely heard about them," Rita said. "But I don't understand how you're an alchemist."When Rita said this Jeffery couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This was because when he told Rita that he was a master alchemist, she didn't show shock. Instead of been shocked she showed confusion. It was as if she already knew that there were supernatural things in this world but didn't know that there were people who had supernatural abilities.And it was at that moment he remembered the bracelet Rita used to always were in the past. He had been so occupied in his work that he forgot that she stopped wearing it for a long peri

    The powerful punch connected with his face, causing all his teeth to fly out instantly. Blood came spraying out of his mouth as his jawbones were broken instantly. The pain he felt at that moment was strong enough to cause him to pass out but he didn't. This was because a strange energy had seeped into his body, stopping him from passing out on time.What kind of opponent is this?! he thought within himself as he widened his eyes, looking at the figure who was standing before him. By now the wind which he summoned had died down. Only the flames of fire which was burning the dining room remained. His entire body was already burning from the fire but there was no way he could escape from the fire.He tried to manipulate the earth element and undo the spell the figure in front of him had used against him, using every mana he had left in him. But no matter how he tried he could not pull off any spell that could destroy the diamond which kept him in place. It was as if this diamond keeping

    As the chandelier fell towards Rita who was lying on the ground, Jeffery immediately kicked his feet off the ground and dived towards her. He then spread out his arms like an eagle, floating through the air like a weightless piece of paper. And before the chandelier could crash onto Rita he swooped her off the ground, missing the chandelier by a couple of inches.There was a loud crashing sound as the chandelier fell to the ground, shattering into several shards which flew here and there. Jeffery had to block the incoming shards with his body, shielding Rita who would have gotten stabbed by those shards. He would have used his abilities as an alchemist but he didn't do so. This was because Rita was yet to find out that he actually had supernatural powers. Hence he used his body instead to shield her from the shards of glass which were flying here and there.And by the time everything stopped several shards were already lodged within his body, blood trickling out from the wounds.

    That evening Jeffery was invited to the Stirling family villa again to have dinner. This time Mr. Stirling was not around because he was away on a very important trip which Rita didn't tell him about. So it was just Rita and him at the dining table. Javier remained at his villa while Kimiko remained within the vicinity of the Stirling villa to look out for potential assassins.After offending the Prescott family so many times, Jeffery felt it was finally time for them to retaliate and he knew they were going to do it no matter what it takes. And he knew that they would definitely go after everyone who was affiliated with him, especially Rita Stirling. Hence he decided that Kimiko stood on the lookout for assassins. And as a professional alchemists he felt that it wouldn't be hard for Kimiko to do his job. Except of course the assassins sent were all advanced alchemists then Kimiko would be able to take care of all of them without him having to interfere at all.It was at this moment t

    After seeing that Jeffery slapped Paul everyone was shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. They had thought that Paul Prescott was untouchable but just right now a young man slapped him! They couldn't help but wonder if this young man really depended on the Stirling family or he had some power of his own. This was because even the Stirling family wouldn't do something like this."You..." Paul tried talking but his mouth began to hurt intensely and he couldn't help but cough, spitting out blood as he staggered backwards. Right now it seemed as if he had been slapped by a spanner and not a human hand. It was absolutely painful and not something he could bear at the moment.The cops who had been knocked down by Jeffery picked themselves up and immediately got to his side. The sergeant immediately said, "Jeffery Flamen, you're under arrest for assault—"Before the sergeant even finished what he was saying Rita stepped in front of Jeffery, glaring at him. As she did this she thought with
