I won't sell shit to you!
“What do you want? Tell me! Money, influence, what do you freaking want? Name your price!” Donald roared furiously, having no regard for his image, as Damien had given him so many sleepless nights already. “Come on, what will people say when they see the famous Donald Beckham acting this way? Do you want to ruin your image?” Damien remained seated with a smile as he taunted. “Cut the crap. I know what you have been doing and why you are after my family!” Donald sneered disdainfully. Damien's eyes subsequently narrowed on him intently. “If you know why, then why are you wasting your time asking me? Or do you like to see me around or what?” He raised a brow at him. Sighing, he stood up shortly. “You are wasting my time.” He looked away to the door, having no intention of hanging around. He had other matters to handle, so the earlier he left, the better. “Kid, I am not yet done talking to you!” Donald stormed his way from the other side of the table towards Damien and wanted to eit
Edwin pleas
After all, they might not have anything serious to implicate him, that didn't mean they found nothing. Mr. Han froze. He turned to look at Damien with suspicion in his eyes. “If you so much as touch even a strand of her hair—” “Chill, I'm not like that. If I wanted to come at you, I'd do so directly rather than attacking your loved ones. Remember, I am not your enemy nor do I have a reason to hold any hostile intention towards you.” Damien clarified. “Unless,” he lifted a finger in the air. “You give a reason to. You see, I am not the kind of person you can mess with. So, allow me to make you a deal. What do you think?” Mr. Han had actually thought he had taken his wife hostage to force him to cooperate with him. If he had done that, he would have earned himself a new enemy. Me Han wouldn't mind fighting him to the death because of his wife. “I don't have anything to say to you. You should know, if you come at me or my family, blood will be spilled!” He warned and deliberate
He was pisoned
Edwin nodded and continued. “The expert was so powerful, and my family began to lose to him. Everyone we sent out, lost. I went out too, and in the end I lost too.” A deep frown emerged on his face as he was very ashamed of the thought of how it went. He was supposed to stand out in the family and lead them to victory so the old man would be assured that if he ever wanted to retire, the family would be in good hands. However not only had Edwin failed to live up to expectations, but lost too. He had been cursing at his weakness ever since. What usually made the feeling worse was whenever he thought about Damien, how young he was, and how he was on par with the old man. When would he ever get to that level? He could never be able to lead the family properly while being like this. “The cultivation path isn't so easy. Don't beat yourself about it.” Damien suddenly encouraged him as though he could read his thoughts out of thin air. Actually, he knew that look. That was how h
I will help you break through
Both Logan and Edwin felt like skinning the butler alive. He had actually frightened them. Their hearts almost flew to their mouths. They thought the Whitmore family had taken the initiative to launch a sneak attack on them and had gone on a killing spree. “What is it?” Logan growled. “It's the Whitmore family.” The butler began. He knew they were angry at him for barging in, but after what he heard, there was no way he could stay calm and not cause a commotion. “They have shifted the next round to tomorrow.” He finished his words in a panic. “What?” Both Logan and Edwin felt like a strong wave hit them. Their faces turned ashen, and if not for the fact that they were standing close to the wall, they would have fallen to the floor by now. Damien shook his head. Whatever was going on was severe. The other party knew they had no one strong enough to fight. Since the old man was bedridden, who could take his place? “Damn it! Damn those bastards!” Edwin clenched his fist tightl
A brawl
Logan stared at him speechlessly. Was such a thing possible? Can one help another break through in cultivation? He initially thought one had to achieve it by oneself with proper training. If it were someone else who said it, he might not have believed but since it was coming from Damien, he had to. “Why don't you get me the herbs so I can begin with the treatment? I'll need a pen and paper, so I'll write them down.” “I'll go get it.” Edwin volunteered and walked out of the room. Logan was still silent. After a while, he looked at Damien and asked. “Mr Damien. Can I ask how we pay you for all this? You have chosen to help us this much. Whatever you need, just say it and I'll make sure it's done.” Damien smiled faintly. “I'm not in a rush. And don't worry, I won't be so greedy as to ask for too much. My aim now is to get your old man back on his feet and help you break through.” He explained. His words took Logan by surprise, as he actually expected him to call out a couple of t
Young and professional
Pulling his phone out, he saw the caller was Maya. Damien smiled and picked it up. As for Edwin, he walked to the side and waited to give Damien some privacy. “Hello, my lady, you miss me so much already?” He teased. There was silence on the other side of the phone for a brief moment. His words must have caught her off guard. Exactly what he wanted. He thought to himself as a smile spread across his lips. “Where are you? I came home hoping to see you, but you left?” Maya sounded a bit angry and also curious. Who knows, he might be out there to cause trouble or something. “Ooh, I went out with a friend to grab some drinks. Here, he is saying hello to you.” Damien extended the phone out towards Edwin. The latter was stunned. However, he understood what was going on immediately. The lady on the phone must be the one he saw with Damien at the auction. He speculated Damien might not want to tell her what was actually going on for some reason known to him. As a brother and a gen
Not as weak willed
Damien nodded with a smile but said nothing more. There was no need to start bringing up his depressing story about how he learned all he did in prison. Firstly, the moment wasn’t right, and Damien wasn’t someone who would go about lamenting his past to everyone.Half an hour later, Logan and the butler returned with the different little containers that each had the brewed herbs. There were about three containers.Damien smiled. The aroma was already wafting into the air. Edwin brought the table over, and all of them were placed on it.“I hope we didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t hesitate to scold us, please.” Logan said with a slight smile.Damien waved it off instead. He picked up the first container that had the snow leaves and bamboo leaves brewed inside.“Come help me get him up a bit so we can feed this to him,” Damien said to Edwin.“Okay.” Edwin walked over and helped lean the old man slightly from the bed so when he was being fed, it wouldn’t spill around and it wouldn’t get s
Did you touch me inappropriately?
An hour later, Logan walked out shirtless. Surprisingly, throughout the process, he didn’t lose track of his concentration or lose control of himself. Damein was stunned. Perhaps, it was because his family’s fate depended on him, or he was a natural talent.Regardless, it was such a good thing. Now they could move on to the next phrase and then the last phrase. Damien was very positive that the man would ascend to the next realm.“Did you do it, Dad?” Edwin rushed to Logan with sparkling eyes.Logan facepalmed. Was Edwin being deliberately dumb, or was he asking to be sure of the situation?“Come on son, don’t be like this!” Logan sighed. He might have emerged victorious, but he didn’t have the energy to talk too much. “I’ll go wash up. I’m sweating too much.” He said and walked to Damien.“I’m sorry Mr. Damien. I hope you don’t mind. I’ll be back as soon as possible.” Logan bowed slightly to Damien. To him, Damien was like his master since he was teaching him how to ascend the real
Grand battle arena
Two days later.The day of the tournament had finally arrived. Damein brought out the invitation card along with him as he walked out of the house. In the end, he had actually chosen to attend.He flipped it to the back to look at the address. It was within the city.“Grand Battle Arena, huh?” He read the name out loud before he hopped into the car and drove off.Meanwhile, in the Grand Battle Arena.The place was a luxurious palace-like structure of marble, gold, and crystal, built to host brutal battles between the most powerful families and other powerful figures who wanted to host a tournament. Inside, a massive circular battlefield stood at its center and was surrounded by reinforced barriers, made from a variety of artifacts. Luxurious chairs were also arranged in ascending order for the viewers to have a proper view of the event going on in the middle.News had travelled around about the tournament long ago. After all, one had been held a few days ago, and the second one, whi
The Whitmore family’s arrival
Damien listened as Logan explained how he went through the process and entered the next realm. He then explained how he felt stronger, faster, and lighter than before. Damien nodded. Cultivation had different realms, and the higher one climbed, the more your abilities would grow and you would be able to do things you weren’t able to do before. In his previous realm, he could punch a boulder and crack it into chunky pieces; now, if he punched a boulder, it might turn to dust. His energy source was now bigger, and he could exert more force through his meridians to strengthen his muscles and make his attack more fierce. “Tell me, what are the rules for the tournament?” Damein inquired as soon as he got to the chair that was reserved for him in front. “It goes like this.” Edwin sat on the other side while Logan sat to his right with him in the middle. “Each family would provide four people each to fight. Those who emerged victorious will compete again before the final winner is
