The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 166 Divine Contract
"What are you doing here, you accidental heir?" Kat groaned from under the animal net. Her voice was pregnant with mortal pain. However, the suffering was not only from the fire's heat but also from the realization that she had failed her people. She was going to die without saving the Mayan communities. Kat was supposed to be a goddess, protecting innocents from evil intruders. However, the latter had easily overcome, defeated, and almost killed her. She brought upon her own divinity and the entire pantheon of Aztec gods. "Have you lost your mind?" Kat raged at Tyler with whatever energy she had left. "Are you suicidal? Why would you follow me and then step into this cursed fire?" "You may be the Seraphim King's heir, but you are definitely not as powerful as he used to be. These infernal flames will burn you alive along with me! Your death will be in vain! Escape and save yourself!" Tyler indeed felt his clothes catching fire. Normal combustion was not supposed to harm him as l
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 167 Cheating!
Tyler offered no response to the evil woman's outburst. He barely acknowledged her voice. The lieutenant gritted her teeth at the duo and fished into her inventory again. She emerged with another can of gasoline. "The flames are only seven feet tall right now," Spaniela barked. "Let's see if your acrobatics can help you escape a fiery tornado." The villainess threw the open can into the blazing firewood. Whoosh! With a sinister roar, the flames rose precipitously, growing to over thirty feet within seconds. Clearly, the cursed gasoline betrayed logic and reasoning. It turned a regular pyre into an inferno! There was no way anybody could escape without getting burned to a crisp. Spaniela threw back her head and cackled. "You monster bitch! You can burn alive with your worshiper!" As the Red Marauders hooted praises for their lieutenant, Kat turned to Tyler. "I appreciate you came to rescue me even though I dismissed you rudely. But our fate is sealed. There's no escaping this curs
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 168 Tactical Retreat
As Tyler glided high above the lively green sprawl of jungle, strong winds buffeted against his muscular constitution. Human bodies aren't aerodynamic and would typically be heavily injured in a winged flight. However, the young man was not an ordinary human. His body was more robust than an aircraft's fuselage.Kat held onto Tyler tightly, her eyes locked on him with admiration and awe. Her eyesight occasionally took nervous glimpses of the distant forest canopies below. After all, she was hundreds of feet above the ground!Panthers weren't scared of heights but terrified of being away from a firm topsoil! However, Kat felt secure in Tyler's arms. And why wouldn't she? He just rescued her from surefire death with abilities that defied logic. His arms were probably the safest place in the world!Kat reflected on Tyler's display of godly powers. Was the last Seraphim King this powerful? Did he have the authority to commune with Quetzalcoatl in his early days? Definitely not.Then how d
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 169 God’s Favorite
Tyler rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I'm not so sure about that. I simply call out to the gods, and they respond immediately. I never really had a problem in that matter. My assumption was that's how the whole contract thing works?"Kat shook her head. "No! I have memories of my previous vessel. Your predecessor lacked such prowess in his early days. It took thirty years for Butch Salvatore to establish trust with the highest tier, the primordial gods! Don't brush it off as a simple feat!"The young man raised an eyebrow. It was not surprising that the goddess Tezcatlipoca would be familiar with Butch, his teacher and precursor. He was the one who framed the divine contracts anyway. "What is this highest tier you speak of? Aren't all gods the same?"The girl facepalmed herself. She was about to answer the question with annoyance when a low rumble was heard. It was her stomach."Kat is hungry," she said rather adorably. "Please feed me."Twenty minutes later, both of them were go
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 170 The Vanishing Act
When Tyler and Kat reached the outskirts of Kona village, the sun was low on the horizon. In the beginning, they carried out some reconnaissance in the periphery. However, the previously well-guarded village had no border patrol anymore. Where did the mercenaries go?Moreover, when Kat last retreated from Kona, she saw vultures hovering over it, waiting to scavenge hundreds of Mayan corpses. There was no sign of vultures anymore. What happened in the village while she was gone?Were the Red Marauders holed up inside Kona, prepared to use the villagers as hostages? Their lieutenant, Spaniela, had suffered a crushing defeat at Tyler's hand. She had seen how powerful the man was. A mercenary hunter did not witness supernatural abilities like weather control and divine wings every day. It would have freaked out the woman.Tyler's pairing with the Pink Panther would make them an unstoppable force of nature. It would be urgent for Spaniela to report this coalition to her leader.Naturally,
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 171 Ants and Hyenas
"From what I have heard, Dagon and Veronica don't run from a fight," Tyler said without emotion.The young man had been standing quiet since the conversation began. Everyone else was using the Yucatec Mayan language, which he neither understood nor spoke.However, within seconds, Tyler used his mystical powers to learn and master the language. Now that he finally uttered words, he spoke pure, unadulterated Yucatec Mayan. His accent and intonation were perfect as if he were a native speaker.Akna turned her gaze towards Tyler and clenched her jaw. "Foreigner! You speak our language flawlessly. Yet, I can see you are not from our lands. Your kind are our enemies and are unwelcome here!"The other Mayans murmured their approval. They were stumped why their protectress goddess let a foreigner walk beside her. Was he a paramour or concubine?"Tyler Grant is no ordinary man," Kat replied sternly. "I have a divine contract with him, and you will treat him with the same respect and reverence
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 172 Legend Of The Green Monk
The Mayan crowd exchanged nervous glances and murmurs among them in response to Tyler's words. It's as if they had heard the death knell."Did he say he came here for the Green Monk?""Is the foreigner suicidal?""Maybe he is ignorant about Yaax Monje's power?"Kat walked up to Tyler and turned him towards herself by the shoulder. "What nonsense are you spouting? Why would you come seeking him in your wildest dreams? Tell me that is a lie!"The young man reined in his excitement for a moment. Clearly, the Mayans knew a great deal about the Green Monk, but they were terrified of the entity. If Tyler appeared too excited, they might clam up and refuse to share information that he desperately needed. The last thing he wanted to do was force or hypnotize a community that had lost loved ones on the same day."I didn't mean to scare your followers," he said to the goddess calmly. "The purpose for making El Abyssium my destination was to find and extract a rare spiritual object—a chakra need
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 173 Soulmate
Tyler took a few steps back in surprise. Did he hear Akna's words wrong? If not, she must be definitely joking—a Mayan version of dark humor. However, the village chief's expression was consistent and unyielding. She was dead serious, and the village crowd also glared at him as if he were a criminal. Tyler's shocked gaze shifted to Kat, seeking an explanation or help regarding Akna's absurd pronouncement. But the goddess turned her face away and utterly clammed up. What sort of prank was this? The young man took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. It was a long time since he was last flustered. What did Akna just say? That Kat was his newlywed wife? That never happened! "What are you talking about?" Tyler mouthed in confusion. "You must be mistaken, little girl. We aren't married at all. I only renewed the divine contract that my predecessor made with Tezcatlipoca. It would be ridiculous to suggest that it was a betrothal!" The village chief crossed her arms and scoffed at the m

Tyler nodded, and he laid out the details of why he had to break their divine marriage bond. It was for returning to El Abyssium in the past. Butch Salvatore and his contracted Mayan goddess aided the time travel."Ixchel helped you, huh?" Kat finally said, uncrossing her arms."Why? Is that a problem?""That bitch couldn't secure a marriage contract with your master, Butch Salvatore. She would've been really jealous that I created one with you."Tyler furrowed his brows. "I don't understand. What was the difference between Ixchel's contract with my master and ours?""You're silly, aren't you, Tyler Grant?" the goddess asked with hands on her hips. "Don't you remember that our contract was renegotiated before you saved me from the Red Marauders trap?""In fact, you added your own clauses to the new contract. Such intimate actions create divine bonds that are even greater than marriage. Even the primordials wouldn't dare break them.""Unless one of us breaks it…" Tyler concluded with a
239 The Pink Panther Returns
Tyler emerged from the water with clothes drenched and dripping. His well-defined muscles rippled under the wet fabric, that would ordinarily be a treat for any woman. However, there was no audience for this spectacle.Tyler had swum across the river to the other side of Emperor's Cove. He had landed at one of the other two luxurious estates in the Crest tier of Sterling Hill.Sterling Hill had three tiers of living spaces. The Foothills was the lowest, with standard apartments and houses. The Midlands had villas and mansions. The Andersons' estate was situated there.Finally, the Crest tier was the most premium and expensive level, with only three estates, one of which was owned by Tyler—Emperor's Cove.The second estate belonged to the royal Petra family, where he stood right now.Rustle! Rustle! Something rushed towards him at a frightening speed in the grass—a large wild animal, based on the tremors and growls. Tyler stood his ground because he knew what it was.Roar! A massive pi
238 Sinful Women
The young woman was taken aback. Did Tyler abandon her so easily? She was so excited and horny about their union. Moreover, he left her with—"You're not Yara, but Lilith, aren't you?" she asked anxiously.Yara's mysterious revival had to be explained somehow, and Tyler decided to tell Natalie what really happened. Besides, Lilith was foul-mouthed and downright rude to everyone other than her master. It was better to share the truth with everyone. Answering questions about Yara's drastic change in personality was a more arduous task."Bingo!" the demoness mocked, laughing aloud. "Now, how shall we spend our time? I have an idea!"She grinned widely, making her sharp fangs appear. Her black eyeballs also manifested. "Let me explore that tight, skinny body of yours. Perhaps we can commit some sin before my master returns!"Natalie's eyes widened, and she swam away from the pool's bank. "Don't be ridiculous! Stay away from me!"Lilith's shovel-tipped tail whipped out and wagged behind h
237 Coitus Interruptus
Tyler looked down at Lilith with his best poker face so as not to betray his genuine emotions. Was Tezcatlipoca, the Mayan goddess he called Kat, really on her way to his location?After the epic battle of El Abyssium, Tyler instructed Kat to bring Britta to the Salvatore estate. She did as she was told without protest.The young man expected her to stay behind for Butch Salvatore's funeral. He remembered how heartbroken she was after their divorce and wanted an amicable conversation about it.However, unexpectedly, Kat left the estate before Tyler arrived. She only left a word behind with Britta that she was going on a soul-searching journey. What was that supposed to mean?The young man hadn't heard of her until tonight. Where did she disappear to? What were her present intentions?"Are you sure about this, Lilith? How would Kat know where I am?"The demoness lowered her head a bit. "I'm afraid I don't have that information, My Lord. I detected your ex-wife's presence from a few mil
236 Make Me Yours
The beauty shifted closer to her boyfriend and turned her back to him. She moved her hair to the front, exposing her zipper. "Go ahead," she urged.Tyler let out a chuckle of relief. He silently grabbed the zipper and slid it right down to the bottom. Slowly and gracefully, Natalie removed the dress from her shoulders and slid out her arms. It slid down to her waist, revealing that she wore a white silk bra.Tyler gulped anxiously, his eyes on the girl's beautiful exposed back. His mystical energies fought against the arousal, as was his training. However, he commanded them to give it a break just this once.Natalie fiddled with the dress and pushed it over her hips. It slid down her thigh and dropped to the ground with a rustle.The young woman sported a white thong on her lower body. "If I had known we were going to do something intimate, I'd have worn something special on the inside," she murmured shyly.Tyler took off his shirt in a swift motion and approached his lover from behin
235 My Secret Place
Tyler swooped down and landed just outside the garden grove in Emperor's Cove. It was a massive estate, the largest in Sapphire City. From above, its map looked like a city by itself.As Tyler's wings retreated into his back, he lowered Natalie to the ground. As soon as the young woman's feet touched the soil, she acted like a feral animal.The young woman jumped into an attack stance and shoved Tyler hard. She rained a dozen punches on his chest. Naturally, the girly attack had no effect on him. It was battling against a mountain."What the hell was that?" Natalie raged. "You have wings?""What if you had dropped me? What are we doing in Emperor's Cove?"Natalie's questions and complaints were numerous and whiny. They went on for an entire minute. She stopped speaking only after she was gasping for breath.Tyler had been watching Natalie silently with a thin smile. Noticing she had stopped acting like a beast, he stepped forward.The young man cupped and nursed her cheek affectionate
234 You Are Special
Maude Street was downhill on the city map, one of the middle-class housing areas. However, the night scenery from the terrace was fabulous for New Year's Eve. A sea of decoration lights ascended like a wave, rising to Sterling Hill, the highest point."You own Sterling Hill and yet live in this humble home," Natalie said, gazing at the illuminated uphill landscape. "I find that hard to digest."Tyler sighed. "It's for my Mom and Dad. I can't tell them how wealthy I am right now. It's too soon. Moreover, they are happy and comfortable where they live, and I am too."The beauty shrugged. "I guess that makes sense... I… Uh… I can also make up my mind to live here…"The young man did not respond, making her frown. "So… Do you have any?" she asked, trying to sound cheerful."Any what?""New Year resolutions…"The young man smiled thinly. "I don't… Well… As a matter of fact, yes.""Can you tell—""Wishes don't come true if you share them with others. Anyway, how's Silas?"Natalie nodded. "D
233 The Choice
Tyler considered it for a moment and then turned away. “Maybe some other day. Please enjoy the party. The girls are lounging in the living room.”He left, leaving the beauty hanging. Isabella arrived shortly after, excited to talk to him. Tyler exchanged pleasantries with her but again refused to engage privately.The final guest was someone in a hood. The veil lifted to reveal Gina Perry, the international celebrity.“You can’t imagine how difficult it was to dodge the paparazzi and come here,” she grumbled. “It’s in the middle of nowhere! At least give me a hug!”Gina’s ambition was shattered, and she had to settle for a handshake. Only Yara Mathews was missing from the picture, but it was known she was away on important business.After all party preparations were completed, Tracy, Maya, and Britta joined the other girls in the living room. They chatted wildly like old friends and played cards, board games, and charades to pass the time.The men gathered in the kitchen, drinking bee
232 (Free Chapter) New Year’s Special
The Grant household buzzed with noise and activity. Neighbors peeked from their windows and craned their necks from their gardens to know what the hell was going on. It was a three-bedroom home in Maude Street. Tyler had carried out some renovation, but it still looked ordinary. However, judging by the fanfare, one would think it was the Pope’s birthday party. The commotion started when expensive luxury cars arrived in the lane. Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Porche, Audi—you name it. They parked at the intersection for some reason. Guests got off and walked to the Grant house. What was happening? Were the Grants some bigwig family? Then why did they live in such a humble household? Inside the Grant house, energies were high. Tracy rushed from one room to the other, ordering everyone around. She was in charge of the New Year’s Party. Her underlings were older than her, starting with the tall Britta Salvatore. Then there was her boyfriend, Derek Sentinel, the Captain of the Indigo Knights.
