“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

    Annabelle was immediately alarmed by Anthony's actions.He kept performing a series of acupuncture on the man, sending streams of energy into his body, in his attempt to open the clogged veins.“Tony. The monitor is showing he's no longer breathing.” Annabelle whispered, gently touching his shoulders“Let me go! Get your fucking hands off me! He's not dead. He can't be dead. He won't die and leave me here. Get out!” He roared, shoving her away.Annabelle fell to the floor with a huge thud, but he didn't even notice. He was still busy with Aryan who had gone.“It has just been thirty minutes, how did it turn like this? You promised to wait for me, you have to wake up. Just breathe, please.” He whispered, wiping the never ending tears.Annabelle was immediately frightened, she had never seen Anthony so depressed abs desperate ever since she met him, filling her with dread. Anthony had never shed a single tear, but he was crying like a baby, making her wonder who the man was to him.But

    Anthony turned to them with a smile.“Get ready, we are leaving now. Right after I settle the kids at the gates.” Annabelle nodded, forcing a smile of her own to the surface while looking at the man on the bed.“Where did you find him? He looks a lot like you.” Aria observed, letting herself into the room.“I met him a few hours ago. He's my long lost twin brother. He was kidnapped by the evil organization when he was still very young.” Anthony explained, walking into the adjoining bathroom to clean up.He came out dressed in black all throughout. He was wearing a black hoodie and mask, covering his face“I'm coming, let me settle the kids. By the time I return, you all should be ready to leave” He Instructed, making his way past Mo Lan who was standing in the passageway.“An, we made breakfast, please have some before you go.” Annabelle pleaded, trying to stop Anthony's departure.“No worries, I will be back soon. The kids are definitely uncomfortable.” Anthony whispered, going down

    An inpatient woman had tried to cross into the barrier, making use of the archway which Anthony had created when he entered, resulting in a casualty.She was immediately electrocuted and charred.Anthony's cold voice rang out at that moment.“Stay away from the barrier, touch it at your own risk.” He was boiling with anger, but the cloak and mask combination, hid his facial expressions away from the crowd.He stood up, walked towards the car, and opened the door.A little girl of about four years jumped on him crying.She had urinated on herself because there was no where to urinate, and she was too young to hold it in or use empty bottles of water to urinate, making her soil herself.“Shh! Don't cry, I'm here now.” he whispered and carried her into the car where the rest was staring suspiciously at him. Only the youngest was foolish enough to hug him, not minding his change of footsteps and his invisible eyes which made the determination of his identity an impossible venture.Howev

    Anthony left the car, carrying the little girl in his arms. While the rest followed suit with their golden bracelets around their wrists. Anthony had sang it to their ears to never remove it no matter what happens. But what they didn't know was that removing it is impossible.Anthony had attached it to their hands using a special bond spell. But he doesn't want to allow them the luxury of receiving such knowledge.The parents were excited as they watched Anthony walking out with the kids.Anthony stood under the archway, carrying the little girl in his arms while the one previously lying down on the glass shuttle hugged his legs.“If you know that your children are among the rescued kids here, please line up for identification and confirmation. You should bring your identity cards along, and your DNA will also be scanned to ensure that you are who you tell us you are.” Anthony announced in a loud voice, making the excited parents hurry to arrange themselves.“Meanwhile if you're a to

    Anthony quickly pulled the couple into the barrier without warning and they screamed in pain, being electrocuted.And right before everyone's eyes, the stellar couple who looked pitifully turned to two assasins in black garbs.Screams of horror went through the crowd, as they watched the horrifying incident happening before them.“How dare you come here to create havoc? So shadow spell is actually still in use? After my warning, you all still came back here to kidnap kids, you must have a death wish!” Anthony roared, kicking them mercilessly.“Are you sure that there were no spies among the ones that took the other kids away. Shouldn't they be called back?” A female reporter said, staring wide eyed at the scene before them.“It's impossible. He was already suspecting them of being spies. They didn't undergo any tests, and he asked them to come closer and carry the kid. It's obvious that he was trying to trap them into coming closer to the barrier where the powers keeping it functional

  • 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

    “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
