Alex walked lazily around Starlight mall, the biggest shopping mall in Veneco, looking around to see if anything will interest him enough to buy it.
He had been detached from society for so long, spending years on the battlefield.He was simply learning how to blend in once more, while attempting to look normal and hold back the murderous aura surrounding him.But it seems his experiment had failed.Despite converging his aura as much as possible, people can't bear to stand two meters close to him.From afar, he looked like a handsome young master. But once people try to approach him, they will shiver in fear and run away.Alex sighed in defeat and decided to divert to the eatery since his goal for today was not completely achieved.Immediately he walked into the mall, a little girl ran to him and hugged him, making him shocked.His instinct was to push her away, but when he looked down at the little angel smiling at him, a warm smile spread on his face.He quickly bent down to ruffle the girl's long black hair.She was so beautiful that it doesn't take a genius to know that she will grow up to be a real siren."Daddy, I'm hungry. I can't find mama," the cute girl said with a pout."Daddy?" Alex stammered, staring at her with nostalgia.If Mia had indeed nurtured his seed, his child will be the same age as the cutie before him."Little one, I'm not your daddy," he whispered, caressing her face."You're my daddy. If I say you're my daddy, it means you are. Or are you denying me?" She asked, looking upset.Alex laughed heartily and carried her up."Let's get some food to fill that belly of yours," he said with a smile, carrying the baby girl to the VIP section."Good afternoon sir, what can we offer you?" The pretty waitress asked, smiling.Alex chuckled and pointed at the girl."She's the boss. Whatever she chooses is what we will eat," he answered, looking at the little girl with a doting smile.The waitress shrugged and offered the menu to the girl, deciding they were from those rich families that spoil their children silly, letting them lead the adults by the nose.The girl kept ordering various things that made even Alex frown a bit.He suddenly smiled and shook his head, letting the girl do as she pleased.Soon the orders arrived, setting a mountain of mouthwatering dishes before them."What's your name, little one?" Alex asked as the girl ate her barbecues."I'm Ariella" she answered happily, flashing her milk teeth at him.Alex watched her eat, his heart getting alarmed by the minute.The girl was like a bottomless pit, eating without break.She had cleared the table and ordered more, she was eating the last side dish and it appears that she won't be done anytime soon.Alex's frown deepened."Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is your stomach hurting?" He asked, carefully staring at her.She quickly shook her head and ordered for more.Alex forced a smile on his face as he watched her eat.Only people who have internal energy eat that much and still digest it comfortably, but the girl is too young to possess internal energy or strength.Is it that she's not human?Or are her parents powerful people?"My twin brother is waiting at the playground, can I pack some for him?" She asked with puppy eyes immediately she cleaned her lips with the napkin before her.Alex quickly nodded, letting the kid request for take-out."Thank you daddy. What's your name? I want to see you again, even though mummy says we can't see daddy," the girl said with an eager look on her face."My name is Alexander Winthrop. If fate allows it, I will see you again" he answered with a smile, pinching her chubby cheeks gently.The girl nodded and dragged the heavy bag as best as she could, going to find her brother.Alex motioned to the waitress for the bill."It's nine hundred thousand dollars. The special dishes and tuna fish are extremely expensive. Also the caviars and oyster…" the waitress began to explain, expecting a protest.Alex motioned her to stop and reached for his card.His eyes widened and he quickly began to search his pockets.He had forgotten his cards!"Ha! Don't tell me you forgot your cards! You can't go around scamming people. You even ordered the most expensive dishes on the menu despite knowing you don't have the money. Please pay up, else I will alert the security," the waitress threatened angrily.She hated poor people pretending to be wealthy just to make some stupid, vain impression on others.Alex's brows furrowed.He had forgotten the last time anyone shouted at him or talked down at him, making him furious.He was at fault for coming without his card, but she didn't wait to see if he had any other solutions before vomiting whatever shit she had in mind.His cold aura spread unintentionally, making the waitress stagger.Alex's eyes widened and he quickly tried to converge his aura, narrowing his eyes in contemplation.His cold aura had disappeared completely when he was with the little girl, but he didn't even notice.Wow!"Boss! Here's the card!" Tajana said, walking into the room.Alex nodded and stood up, waiting for Tajana to pay."Daddy! Daddy, wait!" The little girl cried, rushing towards Alex immediately they entered the parking lot.Alex frowned and looked at her."What's wrong?" He asked as patiently as he could."Daddy, when we were eating in the playground, I went out to dispose some of the used wraps in the trash can, and saw my brother being kidnapped on my way back. Daddy please save him," the girl cried, tears and snot running down her face."Raz, please send the message across," Alex whispered urgently."I have called the police dear, they will be here soon. They won't take a lot of time, it's the SWAT team, okay? I'm in a hurry right now dear. Excuse me," he said calmly and entered the car."No, the police will take a lot of time. They are still close by. Daddy!" She yelled in tears, but Alex clenched his fists, forcing himself to harden his heart as they drove off.He didn't want to meddle in such matters to avoid alerting certain people that he's back. Besides, he called the special team, they will certainly save the child.

THE MAN CALLED GOD
“Ariel, take and leave. The kids should be preserved. I will stay with Hera and Luz to continue the defense.” Yu Xue said, tightening her hand on her weapon. “Don't be stupid. Kaiser is still young and can't live without his mom. Leave now or I tie you up!” Luz barked, his aura intimidating her. “Big sister, young master is right. You need to follow Kaiser. He can't live without parents at his age. Besides, the family needs a mother figure. Luz is the head of the family now in the absence of hubby. You have to listen to him. His plans are good. In that way, we won't lose too much. All hope is not lost. You guys should wait in the basement first. Once it's clear we can't turn it around, you guys can leave.” Hera whispered, patting Yu Xue. Ariel and Aridan dragged her away while Ariella picked up Kaiser. “Emrys, Ikaris, and Raz, go with them. They need powerful cultivators to protect them. Tajana, Dolion, Shadow, madam Hera and the rest, stay with me to defend the base. At least, the
THE SIEGE; BATTLE OF TITANS FINALE
“What's wrong?” Alex asked, walking into the house. He was in one of the labs working when he heard the commotion in the house and Bing Yu Xue crying. He made his way to the front and his heart skipped multiple beats. Ariel was lying on the sofa with purple veins visible on his body. His eyes had turned white and he was changing into an unknown beast. “They were just on their way back after going to Food Haven when a group of powerful evil cultivators appeared, trying to kidnap Ariel. But they were unable to do so because he was strong and couldn't be easily taken away. They used poison to overpower him, just before Luz and I arrived at the scene. He instantly became like this. This is soul devouring poison which was enhanced with a curse. Luz said there was no cure. That's why…” Aridan muttered. Bing Yu Xue slapped Alex at that moment, surprising everyone. “Big sister just died because of you, and now her only son is like this. Outside everyone calls you god but you're jus
DOLION'S RETURN
“The identity of Lord Dracula has been exposed. He's none other than Alexander Winthrop, the former heir who was kicked out. This grand reveal happened after the Winthrop family suddenly met with tragedies, with lots of the members choosing to commit suicide after all that was revealed. It was said that they killed Lord Dracula's wife, making him go crazy and order their destruction. But is this right? Why not handle it legally instead of killing? Is Lord Dracula losing control? Is he going crazy? Having all that power without control will only have a negative effect. Let's hear from the audience.” “Although Lord Dracula was harsh, but there were evidence that the affected members were engaged in different crimes. He would have still punished them even without them killing his wife. Besides, what man will keep silent after such a thing? Unless he doesn't love the woman or have enough power to protect her.” “Um, Lord Dracula has always protected the masses. A little mistake won't ov
YOU'RE A USELESS FATHER
Alex stood with Eleanor in his arms and immediately disappeared, going back to his house. Ikaris and his team, who were waiting outside, swooped in and rescued the people being held. The remnants of the evil group, like guards, were also quickly disposed of. Shadow led another group to the various camps/ lab which Nicanor was using for his illegal research. It was comparatively easy because Alex had killed off the top powerful members of the organization when he went berserk. Even if the goddess finds a body to possess and returns, rebuilding her power won't be that easy. ***** Alex appeared before the mansion with Eleanor in his arms, Bing Yu Xue, Aridan, Raz, Tajana and the kids were outside waiting for them. Tajana, Luz and Ariel were listening to the battle through their headset connected to the control tower. So they heard everything that happened. “How is big sister?” Bing Yu Xue whispered rushing forth. “Get out of my way!” Alex roared, shocking everyone. Even the pla
NO REGRETS; I STILL LOVE YOU
Alex kicked open the door and entered the warehouse. His heart was shaking, and he had felt sick ever since he called the men at Food Haven and discovered that indeed, Eleanor went to meet a client and never returned. He slowly moved forward into the modified warehouse, keeping his ears open for any ambush. The warehouse looked ordinary to the eyes, but Alex could tell it was a detached space right away. He had barely walked deep into the warehouse when he saw Eleanor tied up in a chair. Both her limbs were bound to the chair, and her mouth was held with a tape, her eyes blindfolded. There were bloody marks all over her body, fresh blood steadily dripped down from her right hand, and there was a huge bump on her temple, alongside brusises and blood patches. “It has only been a few hours yet they tortured her to this state.” He muttered in horror, taking a step forth. A red line suddenly appeared before him, stopping him from advancing. At once, he looked up and saw Nicholas ho
KIDNAPPED
“What happened?” Alex whispered, turning to him. “We just received a message telling you to appear in a location within one hour, or else they will send your woman's body to you. That was what the message said.”Alex frowned. “Kaiser and his mom are still inside, right?” He whispered, watching them nod.“Then tell them not to go out for some time. Wait, Ariel, where's your mom?” Alex suddenly asked, the relief he felt a second ago had disappeared without warning. “Um, she went out early in the morning to Food Haven. Since the new wine company was launched with the mysterious wine, Food Haven's orders has drastically multiplied. Also, mom has expanded to other countries and has four branches altogether. So, she's pretty busy nowadays. She should be in Food Haven, getting work done.” Ariel whispered with a proud smile, happy that his mom achieved so much in just a few years. Alex's contributions cannot be over looked, especially in terms of the recipes and training of cooks. Even the
