“Jake Goodheart?” Tessa looked at the wanted poster and paused for a second. “What about him?”

“You know what I want,” Melvyn replied with a calm composure.

“Delma went to such great lengths to find him, Brother,” Tessa said. “Why do you want to mess with her happiness?”

“Tessa, I know you don’t want to be just the fifth daughter of Blake family,” Melvyn replied. “If I, the only son of the Blake family, wishes so, your status in the family can rise quickly. You can stand next to Big Sister Trisha.”

“But I want my status to grow because of my own credit,” Tessa said. “However, I could use some boost. As long as my help will not hurt Delma, I don’t mind aiding you.”

“No, it won’t hurt her. We’ll only be dealing with this bug,” Melvyn put his finger on top of the wanted poster, and it burned into crisp powder without even flames being seen by others.

“D-Don’t use your powers in public,” Tessa hissed at him in a low voice.

“I’m just mad, that’s all,” Melvyn loosened his tie a little bit.

    Tessa was driving home. “That bastard didn’t give me any other name. Was it really Brother Melvyn? Melvyn sent that thug? No, he’s not that clumsy. He’s capable of doing such a cruel thing, but he wouldn’t execute it this poorly. It must be one of my sisters. Those selfish cunts really hate that I, the youngest daughter, get more love and attention from my brother and my parents.“They know that Melvyn would be after Jake Goodheart, so they want to drag me into their mess somehow. If I carelessly make a move, then I will get my hands burnt.“In the worst-case scenario, my brother and sisters are all working together in this. I have to be really careful.”Her four sisters were pretty crafty and influential, so Tessa felt all the more need to be cautious before making a decision on how she should proceed.She nervously bit on her nails. She hadn’t done that in a while.“Whom should I meet first?“Delma or Jake?”She thought about it.“I don’t know what Jake is up to , so I think it’s be

    At Hamilton’s mansion.The ten o'clock sun was warmer than usual during this winter.“You’re telling me that forty tons of our gold bullions have magically gone missing during transport,” Elmond was sitting under a gazebo in the garden and was feeding the pigeons while talking to seven male workers standing before him.“I have great respect for truck drivers,” Elmond added, “but only as long as they do their job properly. I trusted your company and gave the transport deal, but you do this to me.”“I-If we wanted to steal from you, sir, we would have done it discreetly, sir,” the head of the travel agency said.Elmond glanced at his chief captain Drake. “How should we reward them for their work?”“W-We don’t need any wages since we couldn’t finish the job,” the head of the agency hurriedly said.“We can give them lots of bullets for making gold worth billions disappear,” Drake voiced his mind aloud.“No, since they like gold so much,” Elmond was calmly staring at those workers who were

    The next morning.Anne woke up and suddenly checked her clothes. Everything seemed alright.Jake didn’t seem to have done anything to her last night.She felt disappointed for some reason.“I wish he did something. Anything. How can he not do anything at all? Am I not attractive?”“Mm?” She saw that Jake was in the bathroom.She quickly came to the couch and checked on its quality. “What the… why is it not as cushiony as I thought?”She lay down on the bed and rolled around.“On second thought, this is strangely comfortable,” she thought.Just then, the bathroom door opened.Jake saw her rolling like a cat relaxing in sunlight. “What are you doing?”“N-Nothing,” Anne felt goosebumps all over. “I was just checking the quality of the couch, that’s it.”“Huh, and why would you do that? Are you planning on sleeping on that couch soon?”“Ha-ha, you sure like to joke.”“I like to kiss as well,” Jake said.Anne’s heart fluttered for a second.“Do you want another kiss, babe?

    Layla was taken to the hospital.After a quick diagnosis, the doctor told them, “Your daughter has a fatty liver.”“W-What?” Donovan and Verna were shocked. “How can a child have a fatty liver?”“It’s a non-alcoholic fatty liver which comes because of a careless diet,” the doctor said. “She must be consuming lots of sugary content like ice creams and juices, right?”Donovan and Verna looked at each other and frowned. They were evidently guilty.“It’s curable, right, Doctor?” Anne nervously asked.“With proper diet and exercise, she can reverse the damage done to the liver,” the doctor replied, “but it takes time, and you shouldn’t push her too much. Just make sure to bring her to the hospital once every month so we can keep track of her condition. It’s going to cost you a few thousand dollars per year, but since you’re both lawyers, you shouldn’t have a problem with money. Just make sure she doesn’t eat anything with sugar in it for a while. Fruits are an exception.”Donovan and Verna

    “How could you let her jump around, you bastard!”Their words were harsh.Layla quickly lay down on the bed and went silent. She didn’t have the nerve to talk while her parents were angry.While they both doted on her, they still would put on serious faces at times, which scared her. Maybe, it was because of their lawyer profession, she didn’t like it when they made such serious faces or yelled angrily at others.However, Verna attacked Jake with a vicious slap.Jake caught her hand easily and got up from his seat. “A child dances when she’s in joy. If she’s sick and unable to dance, will she be able to dance?”“What nonsense are you talking about!” Donovan growled. “Why are you even sitting here? We’re going to take care of her, so get out of the room.”“Hmph,” Jake snorted. “Just loving your daughter isn’t enough. If you had raised her right, she wouldn’t have come to this hospital in the first place.”His words were like a slap to their faces. They didn’t want to just take the heat

    Jake didn’t go back to Anne’s house.Instead, he went straight to Blake’s salon. He was late, so Carter gave him an earful.“Were you drinking from the money you earned yesterday?” Carter howled. “You’re not going to get paid for two hours of your work today. Go!”Jake didn’t mind it as he was at fault.Jake dealt with two rich clients, and they gave him tips over hundred dollars each, which covered his salary cut.“This job is quite good,” Jake laughed.“Of course, every job is good to those who have the skills,” Tessa entered the room.“Y-You are… Ma’am!” Jake immediately saluted her.“Huh?” Tessa was amused by his reaction. “Why are you saluting? You think we’re in the military?”“You’re the big boss, so I should pay my respects,” Jake said. “Please sit down.” He gestured to her to sit on the couch.However, Tessa sat on the customer’s chair instead.Jake looked puzzled.“Without cutting my hair, make me look prettier,” Tessa said. “You better not make more than five strands fall,

    Jake did the asymmetrical bob cut for Anne, and she was pleasantly surprised by how good and different she looked.“Do you like it?” he asked her.“I do,” Anne flashed a grin, unable to take her eyes off of the mirror.Jake smiled, seeing her blushing. “You look like a doll. I feel like pulling your cheeks. Can I pull them?”Anne shyly shook her head.“If you let me pull your cheeks, I will pay for your haircut,” Jake said.Anne then nodded slightly.Just as he raised his hand to grab her cheek, Tessa entered the room with a broom in her hand.The workers outside were all wondering why Tessa was holding a broom.Tessa kicked the door behind her shut so that the owners wouldn’t be able to see what was happening inside.“Madam,” Jake was startled to see Tessa. “Why are you carrying a broom? Give it to me. I’ll clean the room for you!”“Shut up!” Tessa waved her hand, swinging the broom at Jake’s face.His eyes widened. His body instinctively reacted and ducked.He managed to dodge, but

    A solid punch connected to Tessa’s face, and she was sent flying into the wall.Her left sleeve was torn up to her elbow, but it stopped now.“Tsk,” Jake looked a bit upset as this was his first time hitting a woman.Nevertheless, he expected his punch to have done some damage, but Tessa got back up, only after suffering a minor bruise to her cheek.And she looked a little pissed off. “Not bad,” she smirked. “That was a well-timed punch. You’re not a worthless piece of trash. You’re better than that. I’ll give you that. But… you won’t be able to land such a hit on me again.”She pumped her fists and was about to lunge at him, but then Carter forcefully opened the door.“M-Ma’am, what’s going on?” Carter asked quickly.Tessa stood straight and acted cool. “Nothing happened.”Even though she said that, Carter could see that half of Tessa’s sleeve was torn. His eyes widened for a second, but then he immediately threw a slap at Jake.Jake, however, dodged by moving his head backward.“You

    A few months later.Guests from all around the world arrived at Hamilton mansion, their laughter and chatter echoing like music through the opulent halls on this grand wedding day.Many of those who knew Elmond well paid their respects at his grave which was built in the backyard.Jake’s schoolmates were also arriving in helicopters arranged by the Hamilton family, and this genuinely made them proud to see how far Jake had come. They were greeted by soldiers wielding guns who shot at them, not with bullets but flowers.The flowers rained on the guests and rubbed their natural fragrance on them, making them feel like they were entering heaven.The honeyed wedding cake was as big as a swimming pool, and the pools weren’t filled with water but pristine wine.There were top professional photographers capturing images and videos, but there were also world-famous painters who were capturing the essence of the wedding with their speed drawings.The atmosphere around the whole 30,000 acres of

    The next day.Jake opened his eyes and found himself inside his guest room in the Hamilton mansion.He got up from the bed with effort.As he walked, he stopped by the mirror. He still looked like he weighed less than eighty pounds after he had received fluids and recovered overnight.This made him realize that he had really pushed himself to the limits during the fight with Melvyn.After taking a long, deep breath, Melvyn stepped out of the room.He could hear Prisha’s happy voice, saying how excited she was to get an admission into MIT for the psychology department.How the hell did she get an invite from MIT? Jake wondered.Did Delma work behind the scenes and made it possible?At the same time, Davis was telling his parents how he wanted to buy a fast food chain, and so he wanted some capital from them.“I will become successful, and in one or two years, I will make Tessa look at me differently!” Davis told his parents.“If you can catch a trillion-dollar woman with a few million

    “Ethereal Bane Fists!”Poisonous fog blasts rained down on Jake without end, his voice thick just like the swirling tendrils of dark smog. On top of it, Melvyn used the telekinesis power to send big rocks flying at Jake.Jake blocked and deflected as many as he could and tried to break through Melvyn’s defenses.Despite raging in wrath, Melvyn was actively dodging Jake’s attacks, his eyes like chips of obsidian themselves.The fog around him solidified, churning and darkening, hinting at the terrible power it held.“You look cute without hair,” Jake commented, hoping it’d make Melvyn lower his guard.Melvyn’s intensity of attacking increased even more, and this helped Jake land a few hits in.But they didn’t do as much damage as he thought, or at least Melvyn was in too much of rage to be stopped by just any attacks. And he was using his telekinesis ability to reduce the impact of Jake’s attacks while strengthening his own.At some point, the black flames thickened and exploded.“Hell

    A couple of days ago.“Miracles don’t just happen,” Elmond was talking to Jake after soundly beating him during practice. “A lot of unseen work goes before one can pull off those jaw-dropping victories. To defeat Melvyn, you will certainly need a lot of raw power, but more than that, you should be able to suppress your own fears. Otherwise, you won’t be able to beat his fog.”“Suppress my own fears?” Jake looked puzzled. “I don’t get what you mean.”“Why do you think you got crystallized even when you had the shedding system?” Elmond said. “It’s because you couldn’t overcome his fog even when he wasn’t using his full strength.”“Y-You’re telling me.. His fog can do a lot more?”“It’s a world ending power… just like your system,” Elmond stated. “That’s why they’re called legendary systems. There are only a dozen or so systems like yours around the world, starting with the alpha system. When you’re competing at the top level, you’ll need to observe not just your opponent but also yourse

    Delma used the satellite towers she owned to check in the direction Jake and Melvyn had gone.It didn’t take her more than a couple of minutes to spot their location.“They went to Lemuria…” Delma frowned.“The lost continent?” Drake was startled. “Don’t the reptilian hybrids live there?”“I’m heading over,” Delma said and rushed away. “Bring all our forces there!”“What about Benson Blake?” Drake quickly said.“Kick him out!” she yelled.Benson looked quite upset with himself for many reasons. He looked up at Drake. “Let me accompany you to Lemuria. I will help you deal with my son.”“You think I’ll take you for your word?” Drake retorted.“Please!” Benson urged.Meanwhile, on the Lemuria continent.The exchange of attacks between Jake and Melvyn destroyed everything around them.They moved around on the massive content like rays of light.From ashy grounds to gardens of giant olive trees with fruits many times bigger than humans, they kept fighting without bothering about what’s aro

    At Hamilton mansion.Drake started attacking Benson, but Benson’s right-hand man, Jack intervened.“I’ll leave it to you, Jack,” Benson said and walked ahead.Drake and Jack fought viciously along with both the armies without holding back.“Dad, you seriously are not going to destroy the Hamilton family, are you?” Tessa asked.“Move!” Benson waved his hand, creating a gust of hot vaporous wind that pushed Tessa out of his way.Benson then pointed his palm toward the mansion building and released a strong arrow of blue flame, with the intention to utterly destroy the whole building that spanned many acres.But something blocked the flame arrow with both hands.It was Delma.She squeezed the flame arrow with both hands and suppressed it into nothing.Benson looked pissed off. “How could you kill my eldest daughter, Delma? If you had qualms with my son, you should have fought him instead. How could you kill Trisha?”“What sort of bullshit are you talking about?” Delma leaped at him and u

    The captain of guards, Drake, immediately activated a defensive shield around the Hamilton mansion.The missiles launched by the fighter jets couldn’t get past the barrier, but the sky was filled with huge sparks of explosion that were visible not just in the city but from far away places, too.Benson jumped out of the plane and unleashed a flame pillar through the barrier and broke his way inside.He landed in the garden, in the midst of many soldiers of the Hamilton mansion and released a burst of flames in every direction, roasting all the soldiers alive.“Come out, Elmond!” Benson roared. “Show yourself, Delma! Today is the day the Hamilton mansion will bite the dust.”Both Drake and Tessa appeared before him.“Dad, what the hell are you doing?” Tessa asked aloud. “Have you gone crazy?”Seeing the wounded Tessa, Benson’s expression changed. “Do you know what they’ve done to your eldest sister?”Tessa frowned deeply. “She got killed by Brother Melvyn.”Benson was startled for a se

    The next day.Delma woke up, only to hear of her grandfather’s demise.Her hand trembled as she touched the frozen crystal boulder, which was her grandfather.The last thing she remembered was him taking her and escaping from the island, but she didn’t think Elmond would die.What hurt her even more was that she didn’t even get to see Emond’s face anymore, as it had been fully crystallized.Resting her head on her grandfather’s head, Delma cried like a child.Seeing her like this, Weber also cried.Jake was also there, but he just put on a serious poker face, trying to control all of his anger and frustration deep inside so that he could later use it to destroy Melvyn.Elsewhere in the mansion.Prisha was watching television with her mother Felicia.In the live stream they were watching, Melvyn was the chief guest of the city-level school event and was talking on the stage right now.“He looks pretty handsome, doesn’t he?” Felicia opined. “What do you think?”“He’s definitely handsome
