"What do you mean by the book said so? What book?" Irwin found himself asking the obvious question. "There is this handbook that has been passed down through ages amongst the mages from the old centuries until now. It includes the chronicles of my bloodline.""Where is it?" Photel asked himself and rose to his feet. He quickly hurried away. Irwin's eyes haunted the old man as he walked away. He watched as the old man reached for a briefcase, opened it and brought out what looked like a battered body of scroll. "How do you call this a handbook when it looks like an ancient relic?" Irwin teased as the old man got back to him. Photel didn't seem to care about the teasing. He quickly rolled the scroll open and searched for the content he was looking for. As soon as his eyes caught it, his finger hovered over the body of letter. "Please can you read this, Great One?" Photel turned the scroll towards him. "At the trigger of the essence of the Rose Lilly, drawing its energies and compa

It was seven in the morning and Isabella Rolan and Jessica Nolan pulled into the open garage of the gigantic building of the Oscow Group. Isabella wasn't able to sleep well overnight. Her mind was occupied by the thought of why Oscow Group had reached out to the Rolan Group. No matter how hard she thought about it, it didn't make sense to her. Her argument with Jessica yesterday was perhaps Oscow was trying to use them to get at Rathclif, but that sounded quite dumb when she thought it through. If Oscow was truly looking for a way to boycott Rathclif or collaborate with another company to achieve their aim, they would never have thought of an inconsequential company like Rolan Group. "Convince me one last time that we are not about to walk into a trap." Isabella said to Jessica, who was fixing her hair, using the mirror as an aid."You are speaking as though I have met them before, or know about why they had reached out to us." Jessica paused for a moment. "I know that this is st

"What!!!" Exclamation swept across the crowd that had collected. "The same El Roi? Is she that deeply connected?""Does that mean then that those powerful men gave their shares up because the grandpa wanted to please his granddaughter?""If that is the case, wouldn't that mean that perhaps El Roi had playfully demanded this and the old man just had to do it? I mean, we all know how grandparents are around their grand babies.""How lucky El Roi is. I wish I had her luck in this lifetime.""I think it's best if we walk away right now. We can't be associated with someone who talked down on the granddaughter of such a powerful man.""That's right. We don't want the wrath of the soldiers descending on us."At this, the crowd started dispersing, and the people started leaving one after the other. Eventually, only Jessica and Isabella were left standing there. Jessica was visibly worried about how the young man had instigated the people against them, but Isabella on the other hand didn't c

All the executive board members of Oscow Group were gathered in the billion dollar conference hall. The arrival of their master was something that none of them had ever imagined. Photel had this peculiar way of dealing with them. He never lets them in on his visit. Just like a comet in the sky, he would appear all of a sudden leaving all of them unsettled. Those who get shaken the most were the ones who through the years have been appropriating and redirecting all the surplus income of the various sectors to their personal pockets. According to the goal of each sector of the group that made up the consortium, there was an outlined profit that must be realised every one-third of the year. As long as that quota is met, the Executive in charge of the sector starts appropriating the excess funds to his private accounts. There were some of them who would take only part of the surplus, while the rest would take everything that there was to take. To such people, there was no reason to ho

There was a chain of prolonged chatters that spread across the hall. The elder had just let out an explosive whose shards many of them were still trying to get rid from their hearts. A large number of them felt as though they have been stabbed in the hearts. This was pertaining to the four Elites especially. They had been told to forfeit their shares and cast them on El Roi for something bigger. Upon that promise, they had thought that if the old man was going to read out his will, they would be great beneficiaries of his wealth. One, because they had followed his instructions, and two because they were his children (by industry.)But at this moment, none of these made any sense to them. Iren and co were visibly displeased, confused and clueless, but they dared not make their displeasure known. The three of them could only resort to staring at Aito. Aito was the only one who could get close to the old man at a serious level like that and inspire such a conversation. "Irwin Buckham

They thought they were headed to the vehicle, but the Grand Mage took a turn towards the elevator that led to his private suite in Oscow. It was a compulsory requirement in the architectural plan of every of the companies owned by Photel to have a dedicated private suite for him. This was for occasions when the meeting might take too long that he would need to pass the night there. As they walked into the Suite, one would think that since it's been over a decade since he last visited, the place would be dusty and unkempt. Surprisingly, it was neatly and alive. Photel looked around for a moment. All the furniture looked relatively new. The curtains, wall, electronic gadgets and several other things that made up the room looked quite new. "We change the furniture every six months. Then we do overall change every year." Aito quickly chimed in when he noticed that the old man was observing the suite very closely. "Where do you take every of the old furniture?" Photel turned to ask.

"Huh?" All four of them exclaimed. For a moment, all of them shared glances forgetting their differences. What the old man had said had taken them by surprise. None of them could have seen it coming. "Father." Iren decided to go first. "I'm not sure of what to make of this. But asking this of us seems rather --""Father, I understand what Iren is trying to say. You came to this country before us. In fact, Imperial City is the first city founded in this country, even though it was not named the capital of the country.""What we are saying in essence is that, if there is anyone who knows the first family to settle down in this country, it has to be you. And by the way, the Crakloid family, from which the lineage of the president of the country descend, are widely known to be the first family in Imperial City and in the country."Aito observed closely as his mates gave their six cents concerning the matter. His eyes didn't for once trail off the face of the old man. Just from the look,

Bethany Colwill drove into the Burlique Estate. She stopped at the security post for a second, winding down the window to slip something to the head of the security operations. She had called him earlier to ask about the exact penthouse of Aunt Manny. She wanted to pay a surprise visit to her. And because the security fellow had cooperated, he deserved some tips. "Oh, Milady!" The burly man exclaimed. "What did I do to deserve this?"Bethany only gave a smile in response as she drove off, winding down the window. The man was in utter disbelief as he stared at the card in his hand. It was a black card. How can someone hand a security officer a black card just because he gave her a specific instruction without letting the person in question know about the exact thing? And to think that he was merely doing his job.Although Bethany had argued that she was no longer liable to come here at will, nor could she order the security man around anymore since her father was no longer the owner

The next day, Isabella Rolan and Jessica arrived at Oscow again. Just as the security man had announced the previous day. They were all waiting at the lobby for their chance to meet with the cheif executive member in charge of the management and allotment of contracts to the people. Suddenly, a young man walked into the lobby. Isabella and Jessica didn't see the young man at first because they were busy trying to set a few proposals in order. Although they had been invited by Oscow personally, they thought it would only be decent for them to be prepared in case any opportunity is presented to them. Hence, they had prepared a couple of proposals and were going through them once more in other to see if they fit perfectly into the possible offers they might get. "Isn't that the boyfriend of the Lady Phoenix?" Someone sitting next to the two said suddenly. As opposed to the last time, people didn't ostracize them today. They were seating together as though nothing had happened the l

Isabella rose to her feet, as well as Jessica. The rage that was swelling in her earlier seemed to have escaped through the windows. She looked like a drunkard who had just sobered up. "I'm here." Isaballe replied, almost forgetting that she was supposed to signify herself as soon as she stood up. Dowan stepped to the side to re-assume his seat. He doesn't know when next the name of his company would be called. "We'll have you now." The beautiful lady said, turning away. Jessica quickly put the proposals together, fixing the files that was already scattered. Herself and Isabella hurried towards the hallway. "As you can see, we are class apart!" Jessica snapped at the lady with whom she almost had the fallout. Now that their company had been called first by the representative of the Oscow Group, it was only natural for her to feel on top of the world, and put her haters in their place. As they approached the hallway, the beautiful lady who was the representative of Oscow Group s
