A few minutes after he got in, he heard a knock on the door. He ignored it thinking it was his cousin and his mom again so he ignored it and went about his business. The knocking stopped and it was followed by a light knock on his room’s window.That prompted him to check who it was. He looked outside to see that it was. It was Molly that was throwing stones at the window. Just as she was about to throw the next one, he spoke from his room.“Don’t! I will be down there in a minute.”He pulled the door open and she was standing there with the most seductive clothes he had seen her in.“Alex..” she started.“Why are you here? You know you should not be here. You have no business being around me.”Her eyes fell because she wasn’t expecting tan from him, she had thought that her clothes would be the first thing to draw him in but since that didn’t work, she would just have to pull the sympathetic move on him.“I am here to sincerely apologize for the way I have treated you in the past an

Roman moved closer to Lord Thor and inserted his mouth to see what Reed was talking about. He could see the traces of the fruit which had already dissolved into his mouth, He turned to face Reed.“That is a Miracle fruit.” Roman exclamation.“Miracle fruit? How dare he attempt to feed Lord Thorn a fruit just because of its name. He must have decided to use it because of its name. He doesn't even know the negative effect that fruit has and how delicate and dangerous it is. It may cause Lord Thor to die any moment from now.” “You speak like an amateur, Reed. The Miracle fruit doesn’t have an adverse effect even when it has been applied properly and from what I can see here, the one who had applied it to him had made use of excellent needle skills on Lord Thor Walton so what is there to worry about?”“Does this mean that the Miracle fruit's poison is being subdued by the needle?”“The needlework made the miracle fruit dissolve into his mouth, since the old man can't chew or drink. The

Timbersea grabbed onto his shirt. “How do you know about that?”“You know how, Timbersea, except if you choose to lie to yourself about it.” Vaughn smirked as he shoved his hands off him.“Sniffing!” he groaned, clearing the content on his table on the floor. He had let his guard down and they had managed to sniff him out.“This is not the time to throw tantrums, Timbersea. I will only name the conditions that will get me off your back. All you have to do is agree and I’m off.”“Have Kael disappeared back to his turf. Strip him of his title of being a warlord so he never posed a threat to the War God.”“That is extreme!”“I Know the king would have you both executed if he heard about this.” Timbersea said with a gray smile on his face that Timbersea compose himself at once.“The Crimson order and the other factions that exist under you will be dissolved and you will make sure this never happens again!” he said firmly.Then he moved close to him to adjust his shirt. “This envelope ha

Alex was sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Tina who was supposed to have arrived ten minutes ago, just as he was about to leave, Donald Brouen apparocahed hm, “Alex.” he called, attracted his attention.“Mr Bourne.”He called back after turning to see who had called him.“I knew i had had the right person when I saw your back view. How have you been?”“Good. I hope you and your family members are in good health.”“Yes. Alex, My daughter and my little brother are over there. We came here for a business meeting.”“Ah, I see.”“How about you join us for lunch? Our meeting is over.”Alex didn’t want to have to dine with Raymond after that call he had gotten from him, besides Bella Bourne had been pushing herself on him.“I’m waiting for someone here, I won’t be able to join you for that dinner.” He said firmly.“What a pity, I was really hoping that you joined us but I understand that you have an appointment with someone, my wife was going to ask you to join us for dinner sometime.”

Alex didn’t sleep deeply. His eyes had been closed, but his mind never rested. The silver-fanged token from Elder Ruvan sat quietly on the glass table near his bed, its glow faint but steady.He got up before the sun. The room was quiet, high above the noise of Trim City. He took a long look out the window. Something inside him knew, whatever he walked into now, he wouldn’t be the same when he came out.He didn't pack much. Just his pouch with two vials: one healing serum and one antidote. Not because he was scared, but because it was a habit. Life had taught him to carry something sharp, something quiet, and something that could save his life.Ruvan said, “Come alone. Bring nothing.”Alex would come alone.But empty-handed? Never.He left the hotel the quiet way, using the back stairs and service exit. A few staff nodded at him. None asked questions. One cleaner glanced at him longer than usual, then looked away. Alex ignored it. He always noticed more than he let on, but today wasn’
