“When are you going to let me check your memories? We're running out of time and we don't even know the master mind?” It was Alex talking to the ghost he captured from the construction site. “Go ahead. Since I'm already dead, it shouldn't matter if I lose my consciousness afterwards.” The ghost answered, and floated out of the area where Alex kept it confined. “I won't let you get hurt. I will protect you till the moment you feel like crossing into the spirit realm.” Alex whispered solemnly and started the process. ****By the time Alex was done, he was left totally speechless. The leader of the band of evil, the doctor who always had a mask on his face, the very one who seemed to have the same status as the evil goddess, was none other than his step brother, Nicanor. Karen was just a figurehead used to attack Alex at intervals and all he did so far was on Nicanor’s orders. “No wonder the figure looked familiar to me, it's my snake brother. He pretended he's not interested in powe

Alex rained down punches on the wall of the bathroom, feeling frustrated. He was so close to taking everyone of the bastards down but he just had to chicken out at the last minute. Nicanor’s mocking voice kept reverberating in his ears. ‘Hahahaha! You're so predictable, dear brother. God my ass! You're too soft to achieve anything exceptional. You will always be one step behind.’Alex looked at his reflection, wiping the mist off the mirror. “What's wrong with me? Am I getting weaker? Or did I became plain useless? How can I lose focus of the bigger picture for trivialities? At this rate, they will block me with children each time we face off.” He felt someone hugging him from behind and stopped, turning to look at the intruder hugging him from behind. “Although I don't know where you went to, I guess you were not successful.” Eleanor whispered, caressing him. Even though she doesn't know exactly what Alex does, over the years, she had come to accept that he was not some evil mafi

Alex kicked open the door and entered the warehouse. His heart was shaking, and he had felt sick ever since he called the men at Food Haven and discovered that indeed, Eleanor went to meet a client and never returned. He slowly moved forward into the modified warehouse, keeping his ears open for any ambush. The warehouse looked ordinary to the eyes, but Alex could tell it was a detached space right away. He had barely walked deep into the warehouse when he saw Eleanor tied up in a chair. Both her limbs were bound to the chair, and her mouth was held with a tape, her eyes blindfolded. There were bloody marks all over her body, fresh blood steadily dripped down from her right hand, and there was a huge bump on her temple, alongside brusises and blood patches. “It has only been a few hours yet they tortured her to this state.” He muttered in horror, taking a step forth. A red line suddenly appeared before him, stopping him from advancing. At once, he looked up and saw Nicholas ho

“The identity of Lord Dracula has been exposed. He's none other than Alexander Winthrop, the former heir who was kicked out. This grand reveal happened after the Winthrop family suddenly met with tragedies, with lots of the members choosing to commit suicide after all that was revealed. It was said that they killed Lord Dracula's wife, making him go crazy and order their destruction. But is this right? Why not handle it legally instead of killing? Is Lord Dracula losing control? Is he going crazy? Having all that power without control will only have a negative effect. Let's hear from the audience.” “Although Lord Dracula was harsh, but there were evidence that the affected members were engaged in different crimes. He would have still punished them even without them killing his wife. Besides, what man will keep silent after such a thing? Unless he doesn't love the woman or have enough power to protect her.” “Um, Lord Dracula has always protected the masses. A little mistake won't ov

“Ariel, take and leave. The kids should be preserved. I will stay with Hera and Luz to continue the defense.” Yu Xue said, tightening her hand on her weapon. “Don't be stupid. Kaiser is still young and can't live without his mom. Leave now or I tie you up!” Luz barked, his aura intimidating her. “Big sister, young master is right. You need to follow Kaiser. He can't live without parents at his age. Besides, the family needs a mother figure. Luz is the head of the family now in the absence of hubby. You have to listen to him. His plans are good. In that way, we won't lose too much. All hope is not lost. You guys should wait in the basement first. Once it's clear we can't turn it around, you guys can leave.” Hera whispered, patting Yu Xue. Ariel and Aridan dragged her away while Ariella picked up Kaiser. “Emrys, Ikaris, and Raz, go with them. They need powerful cultivators to protect them. Tajana, Dolion, Shadow, madam Hera and the rest, stay with me to defend the base. At least, the
