"You're handsome and angry as usual," Veronica replied with a dry laugh. She acted quite casual, and it was strange she exposed her position readily instead of attacking from a hiding spot. What was the woman up to?Tyler took slow and wary steps towards Veronica. "You've made a horrible mistake coming before me. Death is certain in your case, but if you reveal your plan, then I might make it quick. So, fess up!"The villainess raised her brows and whistled. "It seems you sort of have had a personality change—from hero to a killer. I like it that bloodlust has replaced the dumb honor.""Hmph. Stomping on a pest like you isn't murder. What you did to Yara and my master is unforgivable. Your untimely end will also make sure you won't bite another innocent person ever again. Now tell me first what you're doing here."Veronica laughed aloud again. "Still upset about those losers' deaths? What a baby! Anyway, you seem like glowing, and not literally. Have you fucked someone recently?"When

When Tyler’s eyes opened, he was lying on the forest floor. It was still early, but the sun had already risen, illuminating the dew-dappled leaves. A few dew droplets fell on his face, making him blink and snap out of drowsiness.Tyler saw Kat hovering over him. She was watching him with a warm smile. The goddess wiped the moisture from his forehead affectionately.“You’re awake…” Kat murmured, batting her eyelids amusedly. “That was quick.”Tyler sat up, rubbing his forehead in confusion. “That’s strange. I normally never go to sleep automatically. I can go days without shutting my eyes. Was I drugged?”The goddess giggled. “No, of course not. And I know how divinely insomniac you are. You fell asleep for an hour because of our adventure. The things we did must have exhausted your mortal body. You were an insatiable monster.”The young man chuckled. The previous night, under the full moon, he followed a rose trail and arrived at Kat’s makeshift treehouse.The duo were supposed to hav
255 The Rose Trail
Tyler needed larger numbers for the Gilded Men to actually act as a shield for Sapphire City, especially now that the world center was being developed right there in Sterling Hill."How's the world center coming along?"Dune, the third lieutenant in charge of city expansion, replied. "My Lord… Lady Yara Mathews is coordinating the World Center project. Representatives from all major countries have already arrived. I'll share a day-to-day update on your phone.""What about their safety?""We've allocated one cultivator to every delegate as a bodyguard. However, our numbers are spread too thin."Tyler sighed. As expected, his organization needed to grow faster to maintain the city's security. What if there's an insurgence of cultivators? He was anxious since his encounter with Amelia."Alright. You may return to Emperor's Cove and coordinate the other cultivators."The four exchanged glances. "But, my lord," Gemini spoke up. "We are your protective detail."Tyler laughed aloud. "Do you
254 The First Disciple
The very next day, Tyler launched the ambitious cultivator program with Derek's help. The latter recruited potential candidates from all over the world through his military contacts.These were talented young people with good family backgrounds and martial arts experience. They were inducted into the cultivator program after rigorous tests of intelligence, personality, and latent abilities.As far as the artificial cultivation tools were concerned, Derek Sentinel was the first test subject. The Mayfair Sapphire itself was turned into a locket that he wore around the neck.Derek was also the first one to learn the art of cultivation. He went on a wilderness retreat to the Salvatore estates with Tyler."Okay, now let's put the training to the test. Make a fist and punch me.""I wouldn't dare attack you, sir," the Indigo Captain replied grimly. "May I hit a tree or a boulder instead?"Tyler shook his head. "I know you can smash trees and boulders with raw strength. However, cultivation i

Half an hour later, Tyler and Derek reached the automobile showroom that the former owned. It was previously called Carlisle Motors but was renamed Maya Motors.Maya, a bright little girl, was its General Manager. She had vehemently opposed the showroom being renamed after her."Sir, it is your property!" the girl had protested. "I cannot have my name on the company title!""Well, you have no choice in the matter," Tyler had replied stubbornly. "You handle all the responsibilities anyway. Moreover, my privacy will be threatened if I use my name on the properties."Maya greeted the duo at the showroom's entrance. "Welcome, sir.""How's our secret project going?" Tyler asked.The female manager looked enthusiastic. "It is running fabulously, sir! We have already manufactured over five hundred units! Would you like a tour?""Most definitely. Actually, I brought Derek to see our operations, and unveil my plan."Maya escorted them to the showroom's VIP elevator. Once the doors closed, she
252 Forgiveness
When Tyler reached the Grant house on Maude Street, he found Derek Sentinel standing guard outside. On seeing him, the man rushed forward and knelt on one knee."Sir, I took Tracy out shopping and distracted her. She knows nothing about what happened earlier. Amelia is still your girlfriend, in her opinion. Now Tracy is resting."Tyler nodded and began to walk past the kneeling Indigo Captain. "Sir, please, may I have a word with you?" the latter begged."Go ahead.""I am very ashamed, sir, for failing you and Tracy! I am prepared to break up with her and go into exile for penance. Moreover, I will accept any other punishment you think I deserve. Death is also welcome."Tyler shook his head. "Enough of that. The danger has been averted. Stand."Derek rose to his feet, but his face still hung in shame. "Please forgive me, sir, and punish me for my tardiness."His young master waved a dismissive hand. "There is nothing to forgive, Derek. A sly woman tricked you, and I know Tracy is stub
