“Anthony, please wait for me,” she shouted, rushing after him.She had thought about it long and hard while watching him on a date with Hailey.It's obvious he doesn't love Hailey.He constantly tries to hold her whenever they are together.However, Clara always tactically avoids his touch.Maybe, just maybe, she can get him back by piggybacking on his immense love for her.“She's indeed shameless,” people murmured.However, Clara couldn't care less.She quickly hugged Anthony's arm, pulling him back.Anthony screamed and jumped up in shock, hurriedly wiping his cloth with his handkerchief.“Are you nuts? Do you want to stain my white suit?” He asked angrily, feeling satisfied with the current situation.Clara blushed and bit her lips.“What do you mean? You used to beg me to let you touch me,” she said unhappily, riling up the crowd even more.“I don't know what you're talking about. We never dated, you said so yourself. Everyone heard you. I don't know who you are. Please desist fro
The system began to laugh, taking Anthony aback.“Wait, what's funny? Can you laugh? Don't tell me you were also programmed with emotions?” Anthony asked, feeling astonished.“Yes. I'm a product of artificial intelligence. However, I'm higher than the rest. I was programmed with a woman's voice and emotions. A woman was used to model my actions. She was the mastermind's daughter. However, she's currently not in this galaxy. She lives in another dimension, five million light years away from earth. Meeting each other is impossible. The mastermind was an unfathomable existence, only he had the ability to cross in between worlds as he pleases. He kept this system on earth when he stopped briefly over here. And you're the lucky-chosen host,” the system explained, making Anthony wonder who this mastermind that left a quintillion dollars and other treasures casually, and made it so that more money will continue coming to him.Is he God?“Stop thinking about things that are beyond your compr
"Congratulations on succesfully passing another mission. You've been awarded a hundred contribution points, a hundred billion dollars, and five lucky draws. Do you want to cash them out?" The system asked, immediately Anthony entered the car."Wow, can I spin the wheel now?" He replied in excitement, clenching and unclenching his fists, while nodding like one who won the lottery. "Hmph! You love money a lot, little money grubber," the system said playfully, making Anthony giggle."Of course, I love money. Without money, I won't be able to do anything. Money is life, no doubt," he replied cheerfully.Almost immediately, the golden wheel appeared before him.Anthony didn't wait for the system to instruct him this time, making the system giggle."You seem pretty excited today," she added playfully."Damn! You're a product of technology. Why are you making me feel as if I'm with a mischievous woman? Please stop acting like a human, what if I get too attached to you?" Anthony said serious
"Assuming that you've incorporated the jade mirror technique, finding out why he's here will be a piece of cake. However, you never take the treasures the system award to you seriously, probably because you got them easily. If you had gone on life-threatening adventures in mysterious spaces, you would have appreciated it the more. But someone else sweated blood for it, handing it to you on a platter of gold," the system said resentfully.However, Anthony was more interested in following Drake."What do you mean? You promised to deliver the patient to me. The client has already paid for the two kidneys. I even told the congress man to prepare for his heart transplant, hoping that I will get the patient today and take away her organs," Dr Drake whispered furiously, making Anthony frown from his hideout."Hush! I'm glad we didn't touch that woman. We thought she was a pauper, but a rich young man appeared from nowhere and paid one million dollars for her treatment and even had her transf
Anthony quickly composed himself the moment he noticed that his two companions were staring at him weirdly.“What's wrong?” Anthony asked urgently.“She's been poisoned with a slow acting poison that gradually kills the unlucky target, making it seem like a natural death. Please go closer to her and check her pulse again, to enable me properly scrutinize and diagnose her condition,” the system continued.Anthony quickly went closer to the woman and grabbed her pulse, his heart beating madly like a samba drum.“Hmm! Sneaky bastards! It's a poisonous chemical, methadizine, derived from a very dangerous herb which was thought to have gone extinct on earth. No one would even suspect it as the culprit in case of an eventual death because it was thought to have become extinct. Worse, it can't be detected by most equipment and indicators. According to my estimate, it was administered five days ago, around the time the hospital was threatening to discontinue treatment with immediate effect, a
Anthony coughed uncomfortably, forcing his food down.He cursed the system mentally, making it giggle like a spoiled child.“Why are you offended? You indeed had lustful thoughts towards her immediately you saw her new transformation. Your big brother even stood up to acknowledge the beauty before him,” the system added, making Anthony blush in embarrassment. Indeed, he had felt aroused when he initially saw Anabelle. But he had quickly tamped down his desires and reminded himself that she's just like a little sister to him.“Little sister, my ass! No elder brother will notice their sister's booties,” the system added, infuriating Anthony the more.“Shut up, you perverted system!” He internally cursed, making Anabelle stare at him worriedly.“Benefactor, are you alright?” She asked, hurriedly patting his back to ease the pressure of his cough.Unfortunately, her posture made her lean towards him, innocently exposing her cleavage.Anthony gulped down his saliva and his eyes wandered t
"So why did you tell me to bring them home? I already assured them that everything was under my control. If she dies in my house, what will people think? Damn it!" Anthony cursed, pacing around in his room."You're always faster than your shadow. I simply said that you don't have the ability to heal her in your current state. However, you didn't wait for me to tell you the solution before getting agitated. Go ahead and climb the walls then," the system said in irritation.Anthony smiled and sat down."Is there a solution? You should have just said so all along, let's hear it," he quickly said, waiting for the system to notify him on his next course of action."You have to produce the antidote, learn the poison fingers technique which can be used to stabilize her condition before you administer the antidote, and then use the golden needle life-saving technique to rebuild her organs. It's all a long but very simple process. That's why I said you don't have the ability, except for the go
"This is poison valley. The birthplace of ten thousand fangs Immortal poison snake, poison lord Xi Jap Cho," the little boy quickly said."Poison Lord Xi Jap Cho? Who is that?" Anthony mused, looking at the boy in confusion.The boy's brows furrowed, as he watched Anthony carefully."Aren't you from Cloud Sea continent? Aren't you from up there?" The boy asked, pointing to the sky.Anthony quickly shook his head."Oh? How did you get in here? Your clothes do not look like those from Cloud Sea continent, but I can feel a cultivator's aura from you. And your internal energy seems pretty pure and strong. You have passed the martial ancestor threshold, right?" The boy asked, looking at him.Anthony's brows furrowed.All the boy's terms sound like greek to his ears. What's a bloody martial ancestor? 'Hey, system, are you there?' Anthony asked, trying to reach out to the system, but he got no response making his frown deepen.Did the system bring him to another dimension and abandon him?A
Mo Lan’s pale, sweaty face was the first Aryan saw the moment he regained consciousness. A wide smile broke on his face as Mo Lan hugged him crying. “It's so good to finally see your face, the soul mate that lighted the beacon, guiding me out of darkness. Has the rest left the mystic lands?” Aryan whispered, rubbing his back. “Big brother, we have a lot to say to each other, but we only have two minutes left, let's go.” Anthony shouted, making him notice the other two. Anthony quickly carried up Aryan while Mo Lan grabbed Annabelle, quickly racing to the front porch. They met an open space craft, making them surprised. “Hurry up!” Sean shouted, coming out from the vehicle. “Why are you still here?” Aryan whispered in surprise. Anthony and Mo Lan staying back was no surprise due to their bond. But Kaiser and Sean staying back was a mystery. “How can we leave our brothers to weather storms alone? Lynda is leading the rest away. Ryan, Aria, Jasmine and Angel are in the other vehic
“Has Mo Lan come out yet? It has already been a week. We have been asked to leave this place and we only have twelve hours left.” Anthony whispered, watching his watch. All of their luggages and things they consider important which didn't belong exclusively to the mystic lands have been packed up and arranged for take off. However, four people were visibly absent while others were ready to take off. But at least, everyone knew where two of them could be seen. Ryan was rushing his last minute cultivation while trying to condense demi god threshold. While Annabelle was upstairs in her room cultivating as if the urgent messages from the system had no relation to her. “I don't really know what's wrong with Mo Lan. He had disappeared to who knows where ever since last week when Annabelle broke into the demi god realm. Could it be that he got backlash while trying to help her breakthrough?” Sean asked with a frown. “It can't be that. If he was truly wounded, there was no way Annabelle wou
“Why do you keep avoiding my eyes? Look at me! I need you to pay attention if we're to succeed.” Mo Lan snapped impatiently, making Annabelle jump in fright. She had thought that Mo Lan would stalk away after she gave in to her baser instincts and slapped him. But surprisingly, he endured it and told her to get dressed. He had taken her to the mountain, explaining the principles of law formations and stopping at intervals on places with stronger law activities to cultivate and gain deeper understanding on the principles behind their formations and functions. When they got up the mountain, he had taken her on a hands-on combat training class, but she never seemed to fully concentrate, wondering why he was still helping her. “Fine, sit cross legged, let's start dual cultivation and attempt a breakthrough. But before then, I will set a formation around this mountain to prevent your aura and heavenly manifestations from reflecting when you eventually break through.”“Why are you so sur
It was exactly 12 a.m when Mo Lan creeped into Annabelle’s room again and locked the door. He had met Jasmine in the pool while cultivating earlier that evening leading to an unpleasant encounter. He had thought that everyone was still celebrating Ryan and left to cultivate after taking care of Aryan. He had packed the treasure’s milky drops that were collected in the container and replaced it with a new container after stashing away the initial one.Mo Lan had stripped down to his birthday suit and gotten into the pool, only to notice a movement. He teleported to the spot and caught Jasmine trying to crawl away. And all her tearful explanations about how she had been there before him couldn't save her from the tongue lashing he dosed out on her. After such an unpleasant experience, common sense dictates that he takes a bath and sleeps to unwind. But of course, Mo Lan had never been one to follow common sense. He had continued his bone crushing exercises to train, before going on to
The loud cheers he heard downstairs for dinner made him frown. Why were they cheering so much, even if someone broke through, what was the big deal about it? Weren't they breaking through every other day? Literally, since they arrived, there has been someone breaking through every three days or less. So why was this one special? Or has Anthony reached the god realm? That must be it! ‘Oh no, I forgot to tell him the matter about superior god laws. Breaking through in a lower realm ain't good, the space laws will encumber him the moment we leave here.’ Mo Lan muttered and quickly rushed down to the dining room where the commotion was coming from. Everyone was circling Ryan and Angel was jumping up and down. “Ryan, didn't I tell you to…” He began to say angrily, thinking that Ryan disobeyed him and used the treasures to keep forcing a breakthrough to the saint or demi god realm. “Big brother, big brother.” Ryan whispered in a tearful voice and threw himself into Mo Lan's arms, huggin
Mo Lan went down on his knees before Annabelle the moment he came into the cultivation room. She was sitting cross legged, with eyes closed, churning the energy she received to incorporate it to her own body. Soon, the timer went off and the spiritual energy beams from the aura gathering formation receded. She opened her eyes and exhaled stale air filled with impurities. “Anna, come and eat. I made your favorite beef and chicken stew with rice. There is also a jug of immortal fruit juice to refresh your body and release more energy.” He whispered with a smile and knelt before her, setting out her meals. She smiled at him, watching him serve her. “Our Mo Lan now cooks dishes that are more tasty than mine. He's all grown up now.” She whispered, shutting her eyes as she savored the dishes. “Don't tempt me now. You won't like the results.” Mo Lan whispered, his voice deep as he watched her lick her lips. “You're the one misunderstanding my actions. Or do you plan to throw around the
“Ryan, come into the lab once you're done eating. It's time to repair your leg and get you new ones.” Anthony said, making Ryan's chopsticks halt halfway to his mouth. “Are you serious?” He whispered, his heartbeat accelerated at the thought that he could finally regain the use of both feet, instead of drifting around on one. “Of course, will this big brother lie to you? The drafts are ready and I spent all morning getting it ready before I went for the morning exercises. Besides, that treasure Mo Lan spoke about, I went to check it out last night and saw that a milky drop of liquid was forming at a point. So, I placed a collecting container in the space where it was meant to fall into. When I checked this morning, around two drops had dropped into the container. Although it's two drops, the life energy was incredibly thick and has the ability to regenerate body parts. Although I wanted to use it for Aryan, I think yours cannot wait. There are other methods to help Aryan, but thi
“How come I have never seen Annabelle today? She's not even in her room. Has anyone seen her?” Anthony asked, walking into the dining room. He had just returned from the miracle pool where he went for his morning meditation and realized that Annabelle was still nowhere to be seen. “Who exactly do you expect to answer that question? If you don't know where she is, who should?” Mo Lan asked harshly, and walked past him carrying a heavy tray laden with various aromatic dishes. Anthony frowned and turned to him, looking surprised. “Mo Lan, you have been getting more and more sassy nowadays. Now you even talk back to me of all people; your big brother.” “Big brother, my ass. Have you seen how tired and sick she looks? Yet she fucking smiles for everyone. She's exhausted but wouldn't take a break till I offered to make the dishes for today. If you're going to turn her into a slave, working even when she's exhausted, then you shouldn't have made her believe that lie you told her. Y
“Really? How come I never remember calling you mom? The only one I remember is in Seattle waiting for us since we left years ago. I can call you mom though, but that's under special conditions, with you in my arms. Mommy, I want some milk. Is it that kind of mommy?” He asked and bit his lips, enjoying her horrified expression. “Mo Lan, when did you get so rotten and raw? Who the fuck are you? Because the person before me ain't my Mo Lan. Mo. Lan, even if I'm too young to be your mother, you're still my son. You're the son of my heart.” Annabelle whispered, and took a step away from him “Really? Since you want to be my mom so bad, I agree. I also want to know what those step mother and son movies feel like in real life. We should experiment and see what it feels like to love someone you consider your son in a romantic way? Do you want to call me baby too? Mommy, if you're happy with that big dick brother of mine, I will keep my paws off you. But he leaves you lonely, horny, and feeli
