    "Ah.. of course it's just a figure of speech. Nothing to get serious about." Cooper grinned playfully. "Alright, you two stop acting like kids here. You're both grown-ups, were would I put my face!" The two felt a little reluctant and embarrassed as they were both being scolded before Miguel. "Come on, are you going to tell us, if not, just keep it to yourself hmph?" Alfred Pouted. Cooper on the other hand chimed in with a snort. "Do you guys remember the incident six month ago?" Albertson said with an air of mystery. "Wait..! Are you saying, that, that person was him?" The two elder looked amusingly at Albertson. "Yes. That was indeed the case." Albertson added. Six month ago, Albertson was ambushed on his way from a long trip by assassin's sent by one of his enemies. But there was the hand of fate in play. Something more like a chasm of his good will towards a stranger. The twist was that; the assassin's after securing their main target, which was Albertson him

    At that moment, one of the onlookers stepped forward, he saw this as an opportunity to curry favour from Jason. "Kid, who do you think you're to be so arrogant Infront of Mr Jason. Giving his status, he wouldn't stoop to argue with someone as you. If you dare slander Mr Jason again, I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget." Hearing this, Jason aired a smug looks of arrogance and stared at Reed,"You see that! That's how big my status is." He then turned to the latter, "Kid, you really impressed me.

  • Chapter 26. Arrogant kid with a little bit of money.

    Upon witnessing the unscientific display before him, patriarch Albertson as well, had a look of joyful embrace. He heaved a sign of relief. Reed finally retracted his hand, however with such a high intensified energy consumption, Reed felt a little bit exhausted. But it was only that! Bringing one back from the brinks of death with ones energy was an heaven defying method that drains one's life force and there are not many cultivators that had the skill for it. "Give her some few minutes, she'll awaken." Reed said calmly. Hearing this, a joyous feeling erupted from the Father and son. And they both seemed to be very excited and happily expectant. The glow on Miguel body had also quelled down a bit, making her look more earthly. "I'll take my leave now!" Reed said. "My debt with you had been settled." He added. After saying what he had to say, Reed under the astonishing gaze of the father and son, walked out of the Villa, giving off an aura of uncanny mystery. On

"You should have heard of the deity, SNOWFLAKE!" SNOWFLAKE! Donald eyes was thrown wide in shock. "Isn't that the expert rumoured to be extremely dangerous! He was said to have been practicing unorthodox method of cultivation and was wanted by the bureau of investigation. Are you saying that person is you?" Donald glared in shock. "Oh.. it seems my reputation has indeed reached an height of being unnoticed." Snowflake laughed hysterically. "He's really that person, rumored!" Patriarch Albertson couldn't keep himself calm anymore and his expression was just as ugly as it was. He suddenly realized that Reed was still present and

    Patriarch Albertson looked extremely pale and completely drained of life. But suddenly he heard a voice, and this voice, and the voice sounded familiar. One that totally changed the solemn expression on his face. " Fate! that's how you describe it, but what does it has to do with this! Not every thing that happens in humans life are designed by fate! Some had a scheming roots that far goes back a long way. Even so, it's just a fluke that couldn't obstruct my path." Reed said calmly. "What.. Mr Reed! Do you mean there's still hope? Can you really save my granddaughter?" "I never said, I couldn't." "Hahaha.." Patriarch Albertson laughed out, it doesn't seemed like a laugh nor does it sound like the other.
