“Who are you?” Jane asked. Ezra stared at her indifferently then turned towards Evan.“What are you doing here?” Evan frowned and Ezra smiled.“Miss Vera asked me to join you,” She said and lowered her head.“Who's she?” Mrs. Bertha asked coldly. “It looks like I wasn't wrong about what I said earlier,” Evan stared at her indifferently and checked the time on his wristwatch. It was already a few minutes past 7 pm.“Since there's nothing more to say, you'll have to excuse me,” He said and turned to leave but a strong hand held his right hand and pulled him back.Evan's brows knitted slightly and he slowly stared at who the hand belonged to. “Where do you think you are going? My mother isn't done talking!” “Do you value your hands?” Evan asked coldly and Jane frowned.“I do not repeat myself,” He added coldly and her eyes widened in anger.“How dare you!” “Enough, Jane!” Christel yelled angrily at her and marched in her direction.“Stop embarrassing yourself in front of everyone,” Sh
The men were dazed by what she said and stood there in shock. Their gaze tore away from her and stared at their boss who was still on the floor groaning in pain.“What are you all waiting for? Get that b**h!” The man yelled angrily and tried to get up but his leg gave way to the floor.“T-the boss has spoken! Let's go!” One of them yelled angrily and dashed towards Ezra.“You had enough time to leave but you choose to remain stupid!” Ezra yelled angrily and slashed the belt at him.Before the man could get what she mean, he was sent playing.“W-what?” One of them gasped in shock but Ezra didn't give them a chance to recover.She launched herself at the nearest man, delivering a sharp kick to his stomach. “F**k!”He doubled over in pain, gasping for breath. Ezra fllowed up with a punch to his jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground.The other men were starting to panic now,”What the hell is going on? This isn't what we signed for, boss!” They tried to run away but Ezra didn't given
“Boss, I've sent the gift to him. It turns out it was Harry who sent them,” Claus announced as he walked inside Evan's study room.“Is that so?” Evan muttered and shook his head after. “Is there anything else?”“Well,” Claus said with hesitation, then sighed lightly, “The issue with the southern branch has been resolved peacefully, and all the articles related to the drug have all been taken down,” “That's good,” Evan calmly replied.“I dug in to know more about the drug and found out something,” Claus said after much hesitation.He stared at Evan patiently and bit his lips after. Meanwhile, Evan stopped with what he was doing and closed the document before him.An uncomfortable silence fell before the duo and the level of intensity skyrocketed.“What was the drug?” He asked calmly.Claus sighed, then took out his laptop. “It was a narcotic drug, sir. One that creates illusions after being consumed," On hearing this Evan's brow knitted slightly and he signalled for him to continue.
Silence fell in the back the instant the red SUV car came to a stop. A few minutes later, a tall slender man alighted from the car and made his way to the lake ahead.His steps were calm and serene and almost out of this world. He came to a stop beside the lake and stared ahead at the still water.“I still have a long way to go,” He muttered as he pressed his leg backward with force and clenched his hand tightly as a heavy channel of energy rushed through his veins.“Hah!” A loud kaboom sound rang out and the air hissed harshly and soon after a short wave brushed against the surface of the water.“As expected. Just a day of not cultivating caused me to fall behind,” He muttered and sat on the floor and crossed his legs together.He closed his eyes and started to breathe calmly. A few minutes after that, one could see beds of silver liners slowly floating toward his direction.He of course was aware of this. After all, he was cultivating the sacred technique, the duo of the heavens and
A few hours ago~After Claus received the order from Evan, he stepped out of the house took out his phone, scrolled through the contact list, and dialed a number.“Yes, sir,” A baritone voice calmly sounded from the phone.“Are the boys done talking?” Claus asked.“No sir, but I already asked Jude and Connor to tie them up,” The voice replied.“Good. This is what I want you to do for me.” Claus said, then looked around and lowered his voice. “Sir Evan asked that a gift should be sent to their client. And also, find out more information from them and see if there's more for us to know,” He explained.“Understood, sir. I'll do just that,” The voice replied and Claus hung up the call.He sighed heavily and placed the phone in his pocket and just as he was about to head back inside, a voice sounded behind him.“Is this how thugs attack him?” Ezra asked and Claus froze in place.He slowly turned towards her direction and arched an eyebrow at her. “No,”“Then why were they after him earlie
A thousand miles away from Santo city. A gigantic building surrounded by huge trees and a bed of grass stood majestically under the blazing sun. It's aura ancient and desolate, as though no one had lived there for long. One could see pieces of vases on the floor, their value unknown. And occasionally, once in a while, an insect will rest on one of the rotten woods on the floor to eat but get eaten by a predator.Sounds of footsteps approaching in the distance caused all the living beings to crawl to their hideous.“I think this is the place,” A female muttered and her companion stood beside her with an exaggerated expression on his face.“This place? How can this be the place mentioned on the map,” The blonde-haired boy muttered. He was a tall young man with an athletic build. He was dressed weirdly and had a big sword behind his back and occasionally a snake would crawl out from his bag and hiss at him.“Sorry Pepo,” He laughed awkwardly and the snake returned to his bag.“It is. Th
The Hidden Families ~They belong to the ancient families and core tycoons of the business world, and they deal with all sorts of businesses. Be it, materials or supply of products to the citizens. The Hidden families are all grouped into 3 tiers. The first tier; focused solely on cultivation. This family has never shown their presence to the world and chooses to groom their talents at their temples or mountains.The second tier is the mafias; They deal with all sorts of shady deals and have lots of districts in their care. The third tier; is the weakest of them all but they have something that the others don't have. A weapon that no one knows about.And as they all have a clear background in the physical world… They also ran shady deals in the shadows, and one of them happened to be the supply of narcotics.“What the hell were they thinking? What if the government finds out about it?” William said angrily after he received the updates.“Have you forgotten that they have connections
“What's going on here?” Mrs. Bertha's loud voice sounded in the hall and everyone's gaze fixed on her, and then at Christel who was behind her.“Mother,” Jane beamed and hurriedly walked towards her. “I caught this intruder sneaking around suspiciously,” Mrs. Bertha's brow raised slightly and she turned towards Vera. “And who are you?” She asked coldly and at the same time seized her up. Vera was dressed in a beautiful red V-line pencil gown that showed off her curves. Her long red hair was tied neatly and decorated with expensive jewelry. She stared at Mrs. Bertha calmly and curled her red lips slightly.“A guest. I wonder if this is how you welcome your guest to your daughter's birthday,” She smiled lightly and Mrs. Bertha frowned Mrs. Bertha eyed her silently and then faced Jane.She stared at her for a while, then faced Vera, “It looks like my daughter must have misunderstood you. I sincerely apologize for that, and please, enjoy yourself,”Mrs. Bertha calmly said to Vera, the
