Anthony feigned ignorance, pretending not to know what he was talking about.

“Who are you looking for? What are you talking about?” He asked, getting ready to face off with the top tier assassin

“Hmm, I don't have the time for your cat and mouse games. Where are my brothers?” He asked coldly, swinging his swords faster and faster till it formed a cyclone, slashing anything that came in contact with it. Even the falling pine needles from the pine tree in the garden were not spared as he slashed them into two.

Anthony replied with a smirk, watching the approaching cyclone and the wielder of the dual swords.

“Since you put it that way, I really can't bear to disappoint you. I took them somewhere better. Do you want to see them?” Anthony asked, swapping his weapons to twin swords to match that of his assailants.

“Enable maximum coverage, and full armament.” Anthony mentally instructed the system.

“Weapons loaded from the weapon store. 100 rounds of ammunition paired with a super rifle. T

    The last of the needles fell off, and the cyclone's speed slowly reduced, till it came to a stop. “Wow! He's very conversant with sword wielding principles. He slowly reduced the speed instead of stopping Immediately, even though he could. This would ensure that his arm remains in optimum condition as he fights.

    Anthony quickly dived to the side to avoid the unexpected attack, only to hear a powerful whoosh. Pain shot through his body, followed by a loud explosion.Yes, the battle armor dissipated due to the impact, leaving his body unprotected; the dagger was more powerful than bullets and bomb.Anthony quickly flew to the air, spinning around while still in his horizontal posture.“Oh my goodness, you're wounded, master.” The system said in alarm, while Anthony blocked the incoming sword with his.The assassin quickly spun around mid air, giving a backward strike to Anthony, which he blocked with his sword. Anthony returned three merciless kicks to him, while still hovering mid air in a horizontal position. The man grunted as he flew up into the air, due to the impact force with which Anthony used to strike him. But he spun around and gracefully landed on one knee, using one sword for support, while the other stood at alert, waiting to fend off incoming attacks.Anthony landed on his feet,

    Anthony swung around, not noticing his opponent’s mood as he gave him a vicious slash that ran from his left shoulder blade, down to his right thigh.He raised his swords again and struck out. The dazed man managed to block one, while the other went across his chest.“Wait!” He whispered, just as Anthony pushed his sword into his belly, gutting him.Anthony's eyes widened in horror on realizing that his opponent didn't bother to block it or fight back.Based on the assasin’s level of response, Anthony didn't expect the three hits to land on his body, instead of being avoided.“An!” The man whispered, vomiting blood.Anthony froze as he heard the voice filled with tenderness calling out to him, and the other sword in his hand fell off with a noisy clang, imitating the sound of something exploding in Anthony's mind. The familiar voice which had lost the hoarseness the assassin used to communicate with him filled him with dread, making goosebumps cover the entire surface of his skin. He

    Aryan smiled and shook his head, caressing Anthony's hair, while willing his breath to normalize in his bid to make Anthony stop crying. And once again, Anthony was no longer the powerful young man, he became the same little boy clinging to his brother's arm.“An, I want you to make a promise to me.” Anthony quickly nodded in agreement as his tears fell on Aryan's face. He tried to wipe it away, but the blood on his hands mixed with the tears, smearing Aryan's face to a pitiful mess. It was a futile venture for more tears kept pouring down on the face which Anthony was trying to wipe.“You will definitely do it, right?” Aryan asked again, caressing Anthony's face as he nodded.“Promise me that no matter what happens, you will stay alive, and live well. You have to be happy, and always remember this, you didn't kill me. I was planning to die anyway, the only thing holding me back was my need to see you. And I have done so now. I am very happy, you've made me a very happy man. Death is

    “Someone is watching you in the shadows, and he seems to be an enemy.” The system informed, but Anthony was not interested in listening to the system. “Watch out!” The system shouted in horror, as the person hiding in the dark shot out a lethal piece of enchanted wood towards Anthony. At once, the pendant on Aryan's face emitted a bright light, encasing the both of them. Anthony looked up in fury, finally seeing the person who sneak attacked them. “He's almost as powerful as Aryan. Will the barrier hold?” The system commented, as the projectile came forward at an amazing speed, hitting the barrier. A light sizzling sound was emitted, alongside a light pop, and the wood quickly rebounded back to the sender, hitting him squarely at his neck while Anthony's furious eyes followed the man who was coughing and gurgling out blood from the wound on his throat. The wood went back with five times the speed with which it arrived, frightening the sender, while according him no chance to re

    “You have to hurry up, master. The last batch just killed the two security guards on duty in the temporal dungeon, to free their colleague.” The system said in alarm, pulling Anthony out of his sorrowful thoughts.His brother whom he was carrying in his arms disappeared also, making Anthony's chest tighten up.He wiped his face and picked up his swords, his eyes filled with pain, bitterness, and the desire to kill.“Activate the digital map and other functions.” Anthony said in a glacial voice, his face turning cold.A mask appeared on his face, and his body was immediately covered with leather clothing materials, which were fortified with a powerful film of light armor, letting him move briskly while still protecting him from weapons and assault. The thin light armor is especially valued and expensive because it accords the user the privilege of maintaining their agility, while still giving them maximum protection from attacks.Anthony disappeared, applying his ghost step technique,

    Anthony smiled coldly and disappeared from his spot, watching their team leader scan the surroundings with his super lens sensor, which had an X-ray vision and could see through walls.The crease in his brows became increasingly deeper as he scanned the environment. There was no one in sight. But the only thing that pointed out that they were attacked was their three team members, lying on the floor, probably dead.He couldn't pinpoint Anthony's location causing him immense confusion.“Has he left?” He wondered, carefully scanning the environment.“But that is impossible. He has already seen us, and his next course of action should be to pluck us out, leaving at this moment doesn't make even a bit of sense.” The man beside him whispered, looking around with his gun ready for action.“I can't find him, even with the super x-ray vision lens. Where could he be?” The team leader muttered, and his confidence faltered at that moment.“Could it be he discovered the other team and went to blo

    Just as the guards were about to explain how they came to the CloudSea hotels to them, Anthony who appeared a while ago but kept hiding in space pockets opened the gates, distracting everyone.He walked in dragging two mighty fisherman nets with him. But this time, they were no fish but humans.Everyone's eyes went to the nets, seeing the unconscious men in there.“Ah! Sorry for all the delays. The spies were scattered a lot, and were in numerous locations undertaking their specified missions. So I had to move around the hotel to find them. These are the ones I found, the rest have probably run away. Besides, I'm already exhausted and wounded.” Anthony said, dumping them before the security officials.“I have done my best as one of the people charged with protecting the country. If you let them escape once more, it's none of my business. Besides, I'm leaving the hotel today. And they killed those guarding the dungeon before I could get there.” Anthony said, dumping him before the midd

  • 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

  • A monster coming alive

    “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

  • Weird things to do

    “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
