The room grew in slight tension as Arlene walked towards Sonia in the living area. She stood with a straight posture that mimicked that of the Wablo Corporation heiress.She took a good look at Sonia before slowly smiling with a light head nod as she murmured to herself. “I can see what he likes in you.”Sonia tilted her head in confusion. “Sorry, I didn't catch that.”Arlene shook her head with a widened smile. “Nevermind. Miss Goodwin, please, take care of Jamie. He's….gonna need someone around him, and I see no one else perfect for the job than you. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.”Sonia struggled to come up with a reply but she couldn't utter a word. Her head had chosen this moment to betray her, and it was empty.Arlene walked closer to Sonia and placed something in her hand before whispering to her. “Goodbye.”She then turned and walked swiftly out of the penthouse. Sonia was left dumbfounded as she looked down to find that it was the key card to the main entrance o

Jamie was definitely getting stronger, but still, he was fighting a five-star general who hadn't stopped evolving either.Though Jamie had three types of abilities - Telekinesis, white flame spears, and lightning arrows, he still wasn't fully a match for the experienced general.Stella utilized three blue flame whips to even the ground in this sparring challenge. The fact that she was raising her flame whips to their hottest degree already shows how powerful Jie has become, despite being at the one-mega-star level of evolution, four mega-star levels below her.Jamie used his telekinesis to make strong offensive attacks, while also shielding himself from the versatile blazing whips that move with insane speed and swiftly shift in size and intensity.Jamie shook her head, face full of sweat as he held back the spinning attack of one of General Stella's flame whips. “Honestly, the amount of control you gave over your ability is terrifying, to say the least.”Stella was also sweating, bu

Tom's father hummed in understanding after listening to his son. “I see. It's definitely weird that there are that many S-Rank dark entities within the city. This is an emergency that would need to be firmly related to the patriarch.” “What about AONAB? Have you reported this to General Atorro?”Tom nodded his head. “He's aware of the situation. He replied to me, about some slight dysregulations in the dimensional cracks. According to him, the higher dark entities are becoming smarter with how they sneak through these gates.”“There are tens of major cracks in the dimensional walls around North America that General Atorro and AONAB are working overtime to contain. On my side, only the Higher Sacral Succubus and her coven are still hidden within California. The Strigoi has been dealt with.”“To be more specific, the incarnation of the Strigoi has been eliminated. But that's just one. The creature itself is still in the dark realm. We're not sure if the creature still has the strength

General Stella reminded Jamie not to get overconfident. He was always a brilliant strategist, knowing when to take on the offense and defense in the midst of a heated battle, especially with an opponent that was clearly stronger than him.General Stella tilted her head. “You’ve always been self-aware of your limitations, and how to play it in your favor. What happened today? And as much as I would like to blame it on your overconfidence in your evolving body and power, I highly doubt it's just that. You seem…. distracted.”At that moment, Tom walked over to them with towels in his hand. “Of course, the young master is distracted. He just broke up with his girlfriend, and is now living in the same penthouse with his new crush.”“The romantic lifestyle of such a vigorously charming young adult must be filled with distractions at a time like this.”Stella stood up from where she was sitting with a shocked expression, eyes shifting from Tom to Jamie. “Young Master, is this true? You've b

Stella shrugged her shoulders while licking her lips. “Oh come on, Sir Tom. You know I'm not wrong. You've seen those two gorgeous women more than me, right? They're badass, fucking drop dead…..”Tom raised a hand. “Okay, that's enough, General Stella. I don't wanna know.”Stella chuckled with a teasing smirk. “Of course, you don't wanna know. You're worried about your…..romantic interest finding out that you've been listening to my nasty words again.”She rolled her eyes with that teasing smirk still plastered across her face. “Lord knows that he can be quite the jealous type.”Jamie looked amused by this mention as he whipped his head at Tom. “Hold up! You have a romantic interest?! Who is he?! Do I know them?!”Tom was honestly thrown back by Jamie's sudden change in demeanor. “Okay, back up a bit, Young Master Jamie. Since when are you interested in gossip?!”Jamie shrugged his shoulders without the slightest show of shame. “Well, since now! I didn't think a strict man like you w

As it turns out, it was Stella's older brother, Don Atorro, who had just communicated with Tom.Don Atorro is the head of AS99’s North America operations. He is a six-star general in the AS99 ranking. He's also Stella's older brother, and he possesses the Nuclear Pin.Jamie recalled reading about Don Atorro in the AONAB files he got. The man was an incredible offensive fighter with a fierce spirit that mimicked the fire elemental attribute of his family.Tom replied to Stella's question. “He wants me to show up at one of the borders around the continent. There seems to be a particularly high dark entity, probably in the S-Rank. Apparently, the high faction soldiers in that area are having serious difficulty dealing with it, and they need someone of my capabilities to deal with it instead.Jamie's eyebrows raised at those words. “Oh? I wanna come.”Stella was caught off guard by her young master's sudden enthusiasm. “Oh, Young Master Jamie, why?”Tom replied before Jamie could utter a
Chapter 377
Jamie sighed. “I see. This is why I must go to the borders with you. I need the experience of what my clan's soldiers are born to deal with their entire lives.”Jamie and Stella shared a stare when they heard those words. “Young Master, are you sure?!”Jamie stared back at the two as they had spoken those words at the same time. “Oh?! What the hell? Why can't I come with you guys? Like I've said before, I'm a notable member of the Ashford clan. I'll inevitably integrate with the rest of the clan. How can I grow in experiences if I don't develop a heart for the chaotic scenes that the AS99 Organization deals with on a collective level?”Stella cleared her throat while staring at her young master with a strong look of concern. “We understand you, Sir. It's just that….well, it can get pretty dangerous out there.”Tom pressed forward with the point that Stella is trying to make. “Heed your General words, Young Master Jamie. So far, you've clashed with dark entities dancing from the C-Ran
Chapter 378
Jamie recalled how exhausted he was, but he wasn't about to accept this verdict that his leading subordinates were laying down before him one by one. “Well, that was because I had already extended a significant portion of my energy to deal with Seth, the Reynold brothers, and the rest of their crew. I was super tired at the time. So give me a break.”Stella looked slightly awkward. “Young Master, please, don't misunderstand us. We're not trying to downplay your efforts.”“It's like I've said. You've grown incredibly powerful, and ….”Jamie cut her off. “And as a prodigy who evolved over ten whole levels of evolution, I'm telling you that I'm more than prepared to witness the more chaotic battlefield, okay?”He folded his arms over his chest, mimicking his General. “This conversation is over. I'm coming with you, and that's final. Nothing you guys say or do will deter me.”The two couldn't say anything further. Tom pointed out something important. “But what about Miss Sonia, Sir? Don'
Chapter 379
Sonia nodded her head, but still looked worried. “Oh, if they're bothering, though, or if you get an inkling that the manager is trying to mess with you, they might be pissed off that you got the most luxurious part of this 12-star hotel for free.”“Trust me, as someone who has dealt with envious people, you find yourself having to deal with the most random people being jealous of you. So if you feel trouble brewing in the slightest, you should let me know. Plus, you should be able to report it to the Ashford subordinate who brought you here, right?”Jamie couldn't help but feel his heart warm up at how concerned Sonia was being about the slightest perceived trouble. He chuckled as he nodded his head. “You got it, Ma'am. I'll follow your advice.”Sonia gave Jamie a light side glare at the address. “Shut up.”Jamie then spoke a bit seriously. “Actually, there's something I need to talk to you about. I'm going on an academic retreat with the Ashford subordinate for a while. Apparently,

Jamie understood, though. S-Rank dark entities are on a whole other level. With Wally, the Strigoi, Jamie recalled how much effort it took to beat those minions that were formed from blood, and Wally was controlling them so easily while engaging in a very fierce battle with Stella at her full strength.In the end, Stella was injured to an extent, but she was able to get the upper hand because Wally was nothing but an incarnation that suppressed the full power of the Strigoi.Therefore, that entire battle that gave them a serious run for their money, was fought at the A-Rank dark entity level, and yet, Tom still had to step in at the last moment to save both Stella and Jamie.Tom Yates. This is why Jamie still finds him quite enigmatic. The casual wave of his hand during that battle carried an execution with an energy level he couldn't even detect.This alone proves that Tom is at a level that's far beyond Jamie's, making the younger man even more intrigued with uncovering just what h
