“Come back here! Where do you think you are running to? I did tell you I was going to catch you, right?” Caroline sneered as she chased after Maddie, yet she couldn't catch up to her. Her legs were almost giving out.“You shouldn't run too much so you won't trip and fall. Remember, you are pregnant.” Maddie reminded her as she stood on the other side of the counter.She planned that as soon as Caroline came over to her place, she could use the other path to walk away from the counter. The kitchen was quite spacious, so it was easy to move about.“Hmph, don't look down on me!” Caroline huffed and looked away, pretending to be hurt. “Aren't we ladies supposed to be looking out for each other? She added, sounding displeased.“We do, but I was tempted to see the expression on your face. You should see how embarrassed you were. Besides, it was all true.” Maddie chuckled.“Okay, playtime is over. We do know you miss him. I just want him to know.” She lifted her hand in defeat as a sign tha

The caller shivered as he heard the coldness over the phone, so much so that his body shuddered. He stuttered as he began to explain the situation so at least the fear he was feeling could be eased.“We noticed some strange men trying to enter the country from the borders. One is bald while the other has silver hair.” The man paused to catch his breath even though he was saying those words as carefully as he could. The man was General Auren, and ever since August killed a general before his eyes by ripping his heart out, the scene had been haunting his days, dreams, and even now, and he dared not talk harshly or rudely to this man who could trample on him anytime like he was some bug. Though the report he was giving should have nothing to do with August, the fact that two powerful cultivators showed up must mean something. Either they were coming for August, or he might be somehow connected to whom they were coming for. With a pale face, August's eyes widen. He had wanted to hang

General Auren's face darkened. In all fifty years of his life, there was no way he couldn't have gotten wiser and known how the world works. These men were strong enough to cause a huge commotion, and yet they wanted to settle for a mere agreement.He didn't care to know whether it would be in their favor or not; all he knew was that as soon as he stepped out of the border, he was dead meat.How could he give in? No way!“No! If you want to talk, I can hear you from this distance.” General Auren said, deepening his frown, hinting that he knew their intentions.“He is smart indeed.” Silver walked over, a hand cupping his chin, and was smiling too.“Since that's the case, we will just tell you from here what we want.” He looked at Frost before sighing. He gave in as time wasn't on their side. Michael wouldn't tolerate any delay.“Bring us this lady called Lily, and we will leave.” Silver pulled out a picture and turned the face over to General Auren and the others so they could get a v

Bang!Everyone looked, wondering where Enoch had flown to after the punch. Not only did a bone-cracking sound echo through the air, but the wave that splashed around felt like it could lift some people off their feet and send them spinning into the air, too. “Where is he?” Someone asked among the men watching, as no one had spoken a word or even remembered to breathe, the sight was so shocking and terrifying.“He is there. On the other side of the border.” August said, pointing to the other side of the border where there were many trees and bushes, and behold, Enoch was hanging passed out, on a tree branch like some extra decoration to nature.“If you want a hostage, you can take him,” August said again, referring to the elders who were also staring in shock.They knew August was stronger than Enoch, but they expected a few punches from August to bring him down, yet it seems they were mistaken. This man didn't only exceed their expectations, he certainly knew how to be smug and bold

At the same time, Lily, who had left the airport, took a taxi and drove to a hotel. She booked a room to settle down, at least to get a hold of herself, and also, wipe off the disguise she had on.Since she was here, looking for August would be quite easier. As she didn't know where he was exactly, instead of searching blindly, which would be of no help, it would be better to get a piece of information first.After she fully checked in with the receptionist, she headed upstairs to the room and lodged. Immediately, she dropped her bag on the bed before she went to the bathroom to wash off the thick makeup from her face. In the process, she stared at the mirror hanging at the top of the washing basin and saw how miserable her face had become. She had been crying all this time as she had a feeling that it might be the last time she would be seeing her brother and grandmother ever again. Even though they assured her that they would join up with her later on, she knew it was just made u
