Retracting steps
Alvin began to steadily retract control from Elena. He no longer gave her unrestricted access to the companies and funds. For example, instead of financial reports being submitted to her, he relegated it to his desk, and took back the power of attorney to sign away money for projects. Since he didn't know which of them was working for the evil organization, he didn't want to take chances with his assets. Thankfully, two other major corporations were being managed in secret with the system’s help. He was already regretting letting her see everything about his three companies’ cash flow and list of assets. What if greed makes her betray him tomorrow? Sure, she was dedicated and helpful. But if she was working with the enemies, it would be devastating. It was better safe than sorry. Her sphere of influence was cleverly reduced, using the excuse of stress affecting her health and making her unable to find time for cultivation. The next on his list was Tiffany. He needed cleve
forging the blood bond
“Are you ready?” Alvin looked at Ryker, who was sitting opposite him with an ancient scroll sitting between them. Ryker wheezed out a breath. His palm felt clammy with sweat, and his heart wouldn't stop beating a mile a minute. “Does this have any side effects? I…” “As long as you don't betray me or sell me out to my enemies, nothing will happen to you. However, this is irreversible. Once we complete the oath, you're stuck with me. Even if you get discharged in the future, you still won't be able to leak information or go against my interest.” “What's the penalty if I break the oath?” Ryker stuttered nervously, rubbing his palms against his trousers. Alvin smiled mysteriously. “Are you planning to break it?” His eyes hardened the next instant. “Cut the crap, let's start.” Ryker inhaled deeply, and exhaled, then inhaled again. He was doing it. He was really tying in this madness. The point of no return already arrived before he knew it. He looked at Alvin, his heart unable t
Too complicated
Alvin glared back at Murong Wuque, his gaze challenging, as if daring him to do his worst. Murong Wuque's lips twitched. He had never let so much emotion slip past his shell all his life but the little gremlin before him always had a way of bringing out the worst in him. “You really want me to strangle you to death, you filthy dog.” Alvin scoffed, and sneered. “Do your worst. Show me how low your stupid ass can go.” Murong Wuque applied pressure on Alvin's throat as if to strangle him. Without warning, he kicked open the door leading to the bathroom and flung Alvin inside. “I can't be bothered to waste time with you, you're too filthy.” He wiped the parts of his hand that had touched Alvin, and flung the towel after him. “Don't come out until you scrub away the scent of other people on you. Otherwise I might really kill you.” Alvin rolled his eyes, his chest heaving up and down. If it was another person that got flung like a ragdoll out of the blues they might have broken
suspicious partners
Villa number seven. It was five a.m when Alvin’s grey Bentley entered the parking lot. Most inhabitants of villa number seven were awake, and he passed Shi Yue who was on a morning run. Qin Li no doubt would be at the lake in the smaller mountain peak, practicing his sword arts. As for Shi Wei and Shi Qian Ling, they were probably on the roof, practicing qing gong (lightness skill that enables people to teleport), absorbing thunder or engaging in a sword sparring session. Shi Meng Ying was probably in her herb garden, or the little farmhouse she attached to it. Tiffany would be in the transient corner, engaging in her self sparring session to improve her assault skills and mental capacity. Elena was probably busy catching up on work after her fifteen minutes morning exercise. Oliver would be in the gym, or the tech studio. As for Leah, he wasn't too sure. She was probably still sleeping. Sam? He doesn't keep a steady calendar. Martha was definitely cooking breakfast.
Wings apartment
Ryker’s face was a spectacle to behold, making laughter bubble up in Alvin’s throat. “It's really yours. I bought it for you. I initially wanted to give it to you as your onboarding gift after we finish the process. But since we need to use it, I'm merely handing it over a little early.”Now, Ryker was convinced that the general had gone crazy. “How can you transfer an apartment to someone when you were not yet sure I would agree? Do you have too much money or do you just enjoy…”“I'm crazy.” Alvin cut in. “I did it because I'm crazy and love doing irrational things.”Lies. Alvin was the calculating type. How could he bear to give out money without cause? He just believed that Ryker's love for his sister would be enough to overcome his suspicious nature. If by chance he turned out to be wrong, he could just reverse everything to himself and not notarize it. Ryker shook his head. Indeed rich people are all eccentric. “This place should be at least up to fifty million, right? Yet you
picked up a genius
Alvin turned to Ryker. Ryker's face had gone white, and he seemed to be in a lot of pain. He grabbed his hand, checking his pulse. “Damn, tracking worm. Someone placed a tracking worm on you. Who wants to keep tabs on your movement?” He looked up at Ryker. Ryker kept silent, his chest heaving up and down. Alvin wrote a spell on the air and guided it to Ryker's back, then Alvin tore off his (Ryker's) jacket, exposing his left collarbone. Carefully, he pricked the spot. Ryker winced in pain as Alvin dragged the tracking worm out. He showed the black worm to Ryker who made a disgusted face, unable to believe that such a thing could be found in a human’s body. Alvin lightly moved his little finger like one writing, and fire consumed the worm dangling from the tip of the needle. “Let's go up. I need to thoroughly examine you. Otherwise…” His eyes met Ryker's at this point and his words trailed off. Ryker's gaze was hostile, suspicious. He hated the two people who cornered him
