SHANGHAI TEMPLE Inside the temple seated a man who was meditating.His two legs were crossed on each other and his eyes shut. He relaxed himself so as to allow the flow of energy through him.He was still meditating when the door to the temple where he was opened, but that didn't stop him from meditating.“ Boss,” a masculine voice called from behind.“ Boss” the voice called again, catching the attention of his boss, whose eyes opened but flashed gold at first before changing back to brown colour.“ What is it?” His boss stopped meditating and turned to him.“ I fear there is bad news” his lips began to quiver as he spoke.“ Spill it out or else you want your head rolling on the ground” his boss hates slow people and he loves his things being precise and simple.“ Rowan was killed alongside twenty of our men” the man said, and almost immediately anger flashed through his boss’s face.“ Who did that?” “ Elijah West. He is no ordinary man, and he also sent you a message” the man said
Hearing Elijah's shout, both Hank and Dracula ran out of their rooms and met Isabella in her own pool of blood.“ What happened? I thought she was behind us?” Dracula asked, his eyes widening at intervals.“ Is she bleeding from her stomach or palm?” Hank asked as he squatted in front of Isabella who already lost consciousness.“ Her palms, I guess she was trying to avoid getting pierced in her stomach” Elijah replied and carried her straight to his room.He laid her down properly and cleaned the wound, using an ointment to stop the bleeding.He sat beside her on the bed before closing his eyes, channelling his energy to his hands, which brought out blue flames. Gently, he placed the blue flames on Isabella's bleeding palms and the wound healed up immediately.“ Wow, I really wish to have such powers also” Dracula smiled as he watched Elijah heal up Isabella's wound.“ But I feel like something is wrong somewhere” Hank said, lost in thought.“ How on Earth would someone try to kill h
Elijah kept watching the fighting scene between Isabella and the midnight assassins.Seeing that Isabella was about to kill all the midnight assassins she brought, Nora raised her already blazing sword at Isabella without her notice, but a sudden strong wind sent her flying across the road. She groaned and raised her head to look at who it was. It turned out to be Elijah. He was glaring daggers at Nora.“ Lord…Lord of the Seven Heavens?” Nora stuttered and flew away from the scene immediately.Isabella turned around to see Elijah behind her. She was so surprised but at the same time scared.“ I am sorry I didn't tell you” was the first thing that left her mouth. She knew she didn't deserve to be forgiven since he found out that way, but she was left with no options other than to spill out the truth.“ I am ready to tell you the whole truth,” Isabella muttered, her gaze on the ground.“ I will only listen to the truth, if you return with me to the hotel” Elijah said and turned to lea
Once Isabella left the room, she met Nora by the door side, it was obvious she was eavesdropping on the conversation between Isabella and Master Xi'an.“ Once more, you've been given a job to do” Nora started as Isabella continued walking, trying her best to ignore her.“ I am sure you're having an affair with Master, I am sure of it, because only a bitch could do that” Nora was trying so hard to make Isabella angry.“ And so fucking what? I am a bitch, but can you ever get the master's attention? Only a bitch could do that” Isabella rolled her eyes and walked through the hallway.“ You bitch!” Nora rushed towards Isabella and dragged her hair from behind.“ Let go of me!” Isabella shouted trying to free herself from Nora's grip.“ I won't let go of you” Nora increased the grip on Isabella's hair again, until Isabella turned around and flipped Nora off her, causing her to fall to the ground with a loud thud.“ I guess today, you will taste your own blood” Isabella replied hatefully as
“ Puzzle is completed now” Elijah smirked and rested back on the sofa as his smirk turned into a sly smile.“ What are you going to do, Young master?” Hank asked, his gaze on Elijah who still had the sly smile on his lips.“ Since he wants to eliminate me, I will be a bait for him.” Elijah said but Isabella's hand held his arm, her eyes pleading.“ Don't go, Master Xi'an is a very dangerous man, who would stop at nothing to eliminate you. He has the Lotus poison ready so that he would kill you with it” Isabella pleaded as tears dropped down her eyes.She knew what her master was capable of doing, and just by the thought of it, her heart beat began to race loudly.“ Put your mind to rest Isa, I am no easy man either” Elijah assured but his assurance didn't sit well with Isabella as she fidgeted with her nails nervously.“ Since you will go as bait, we would be your backup” Dracula offered but Elijah shook his head.“ I don't need you or anyone to be my backup. This is my fight against
“ I am Kelvin, your half brother. I have changed because I am willing to take my place back. I won't let Gregory take away what belongs to me” Kelvin let go of Tristan's shoulder before turning to give Gregory a glare.“ Next time, you might not survive it” Kelvin said to Gregory before walking upstairs.As he made his way upstairs, he came across his father whose eyes widened when he saw his favourite son on the ground with blood in his nostrils.“ What did you do, bastard!” Mr Ramos shouted as he turned to Kelvin who stared blankly at him.Mr Ramos raised his hand to slap Kelvin across his face, but he was fast to hold his father's wrist.“ Don't you dare, Father. I am no more the Kelvin you once knew, and just so you know, that company is mine” Kelvin said and leaned forward towards his father's ear.“ Because I know your secret about RAMOS ACE GROUP OF COMPANIES” Kelvin smirked before releasing the old man's wrist.“ I will advise you all to behave,” Kelvin smiled before heading t
“ What if someone comes in?” Isabella whispered with her hands around Elijah's neck.“ This is my office, no one can come in without my permission” Elijah smirked before leaning closer to Isabella.They were about to kiss when the door to Elijah's office opened, revealing Hank with a cup of coffee.Elijah rolled his eyes while Isabella burst into laughter. “ Did I interrupt anything?” Clueless Hank asked as he looked at both Elijah and Isabella.“ No, you didn't” Isabella took the opportunity to stand up from Elijah's lap.“ Okay, if you say so” Hank smiled and faced Elijah.“ I am sure he must be suspicious about you, what do you think will happen next, Young master?” Hank asked, looking directly at Elijah.“ Since he is suspicious of me, I bet he would want to make a move before I do” Elijah nodded as he swung around his swivel chair.“ How I wish I could be as nonchalant and care-free as you're” Isabella smiled looking at Elijah who seemed care-free like he isn't the one whose lif
NEXT DAYRAMOS ACE GROUP OF COMPANIES Inside the boardroom, everyone was seated as they waited for Mr Ramos, the CEO to join them.He had already mentioned that he would be handing over the company to his eldest son, Gregory, but this time, he wanted it in an official way.Everyone inside the room were whispering and murmuring to each other as they waited for the old man to arrive with his eldest son, Gregory. After twenty more minutes, the door to the board room opened and Mr Ramos walked in, his walking stick by his right hand and Gregory behind him, dressed in an Armani suit. The board members all stood up at the same time to bow for the CEO who just walked in. “ Have a seat” Mr Ramos said with a smile as he sat at the long end of the table while Gregory sat on his right side.“ You all know why this meeting was declared, right?” Mr Ramos started while the members of the board nodded simultaneously.“ I would be handing over Ramos Ace Group of Companies to him today as the
