Anthony drove furiously, noticing someone tailing him.

He quickly crossed to another lane, just in time for the traffic light to change to red. However, the desperate pursuer continued after him, swerving dangerously as he overtook lots of cars. His actions made him swerve off track, bumping into school children trying to use the zebra crossing.

"Emma!" The older child shouted, quickly pulling the little girl whom the car hit with immediate speed.

Other drivers immediately screamed out.

The mad driver of the truck didn't stop after hitting a school child, he was going to run her over if her elder brother hadn't quickly pulled her back in horror, causing her to only lose one of her legs.

"You mad idiot!" Someone roared from their car, just in time for the driver to bump into another car at the intersection.

Everyone present at that road immediately began to place calls to police stations and traffic personnelles, describing the truck, just as the truck was trying to pull back and conti

    Anthony immediately looked at the side mirror, not seeing anything, except the shadow."It's a spy helicopter. It has been following the both of you for a while, that was why I asked you to refer to her as your wife and keep up the play. The rotors and engines do not make a single sound, and its body was built with special radioactive materials that traps and filters sounds within a hundred meyer radius of it. It has been following you and filtering your words, but luckily, you obeyed and Aria played along confounding them," the system said, making Anthony's frown deepen as he pondered on the level of unimaginable technologies available to the heinous organization relentlessly going after them."Sweetheart, what are those? I'm so scared" Aria screamed, looking at the shadow looming over them.Anthony quickly grabbed her hand and wrote on her palm while driving."It's them, play along," Aria's eyes Immediately widened, her heart skipping a beat."I don't know either.

    "Could it be that he's a military personnel?" The pilot asked."No, his information was not found under special services. He seemingly came from a rich aristocratic family, funding some government research with his money," the spy said again, his voice coming throughout the microphone."Either way, we should not mess with him. He might not be a military personnel, but he has military dogs looking out for him. He has money and power, and most importantly, we don't recognize him. Even more is the fact that he didn't offend our organization. He was merely looking for a remote hotel where they can scream to their heart's content, only to bump into that fool. If we continue following him, it will attract another enemy to us. And his influence might cause the military to inconvenience us. His friend doesn't seem to be among the generals in our camp, so we shouldn't act rashly," one of the crew said."That's right, they had merely shared their experience and continued on their way. If we con

    "System, scan us, and check if they dropped anything on our car. Destroy any bug or wiretap around us," Anthony instructed cautiously."Done, it's safe to speak now," the system said, making Anthony nod in satisfaction."Why were you laughing?" Aria asked again, glaring impatiently at Anthony."They finally left us alone, so I'm happy. And you my dear, are a great companion, and dramatic address," he said, signaling to her with his eyes, making her remember all the fake love plays they used to keep up with the Sydney family identity ploy.She immediately giggled, heaving a sigh of relief."So where did you say we are going? I'm really hungry," Aria said, sitting up."CloudSea hotels and resorts chain. Their food is definitely top-notch," Anthony quickly reassured, making Aria smile."I know CloudSea, I'm related to the management. Are you sure you have enough money to keep us there? It's definitely not cheap, and I can't use my money yet," Aria whispered, fiddling with her fingers."I

    Anthony quickly stared at Aria, giving her a side glance."Oh, it's nothing at all. I was just marveling at the grandeur before me. I have never been here in the past," Anthony quickly said, making Aria roll her eyes at him."It's a lie, and you know it. You were not even looking around. It's a miracle that you somehow managed to continue driving. Tell me, I promise not to be creeped out," Aria said, eagerly staring at Anthony."Okay fine, when I'm confused on what to do, I set up a panel in my head and weigh my options, trying to see it from the sides of two different people in order to come up with the best decision to take," Anthony said, a helpless look on his face. Aria stared at him contemplatively, as if she wanted to decide whether she should believe him or not."I think I need to pay a tour guide to take me around, I like this place," Anthony said, looking around."Really, I can show you around," Aria whispered eagerly, her eyes shining in excitement."Have you been here bef

    Anthony's ear perked up as he covertly searched for what was alarming the system."The spies still followed you here. I detected danger targeted at you, that was why. I must say their intuition is great. Even though the evidence suggests that you're not the person they were looking for, they still insisted on following you to this place," the system said, making Anthony's face turn ugly."Point out the spies to me. If there's any of them that have been staring for long, I will also appreciate it if you point them out. I need to confront them and get them out of my hair, they need to know I saw them," Anthony replied angrily."Respected customer, please input your pin. You look agitated, what's wrong?" The receptionist asked worriedly, staring at Anthony.***For people that work in departments that relate with customers, such as herself, their main income is not their salary. They rather get more money through commissions, customer points, which are given in form of votes from happy c

    Anthony smiled, pulling her inside."Even if they are here, you don't need to worry about them. I'm right here, with you, to always protect you," Anthony whispered, making Aria blush at the sweet words."System, please scan the environment," Anthony instructed, looking around at the palatial structure all around him."Everywhere is safe. However, I detected some miscreants trying to attach high frequency wiretaps to the fence. And also throw some into the house, through the gap created by the metal bars. But you don't need to worry about that. I will create a radio wave barrier around villa 6, strengthening the already in built defense mechanisms installed by the hotel's management. As long as you keep your voices low, the wiretaps attached to the fence won't pick up anything. Just go freshen up, and do those naughty things you have in mind.

    Aria turned to look at him, pulling down the sheets a bit to reveal her eyes. "I said I'm no longer hungry, just go ahead," she muttered, covering her face once more.Anthony's face turned into a grimace as he stared at her through squinted eyes.He sighed and ran his hands through his hair, feeling frustrated.'Once I send her back to her father, it's over. I just pray I have not gotten her pregnant during the few times I messed around with her. I don't have the strength and time for this kind of drama from a spoiled little princess, no matter how beautiful she may be. Especially with the kind of heavy responsibilities before me. Just a little harsh word to chastise her, she will immediately get offended, behaving like a spoiled child. I pray she's also not selfish because that will be the ultimate straw. Why is she throwing a tantrum, adding to the immense stress I'm already under? Why can't she be considerate for once and think about me?' Anthony thought, shutting his eyes in frus

    "Yeah, all the spies I detected hovering around you are all in here," the system said, making Anthony smile broadly."What's so funny?" Aria asked, making Anthony pinch her cheeks to cover up."You eat like a bear. Take it easy, people might think I have been starving you," Anthony joked, making Aria blush and slowly swallow the pasta in her mouth, reducing the speed at which she ate.Anthony soon ate to his satisfaction and walked straight to one of the spies, giving him a hard punch, before grabbing his phone."Respected customer, what are you doing?" The attendants asked, quickly calling the security.But before the call could go through, the receptionist that checked them in walked in with special security, prepared by the hotel to guard against terrorist attacks or kidnap attempts since their customers were all high profile people."Round up all the men at table three, and table ten," Anthony instructed, causing confusion amidst the customers eating at the restaurant.The securit

  • Still my blood

    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

  • Leaving Paradise

    “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

  • A Taste of the Forbidden

    “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

  • Sneaky

    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

  • Restored Dreams

    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

  • Rejected

    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

  • He has gotten sassy

    “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
