Tristan Coleman was Abel Coleman’s son. When the time came, he’d feel even more pride than Wesley Coleman.A son’s accomplishments reflected a father’s success. This was probably what the saying meant!Right then, Tristan and another young lady hurriedly walked in.Never mind Tristan, that young lady also looked rather pretty. She was one of the most beautiful women on earth.She was Byakko, one of the Four Great Princesses.However, she seemed very anxious.Wesley looked at her for a moment before he frowned. “Tristan, what happened? Why do both of you look so gloomy?”“Seiryuu is missing,” Tristan said.‘What?’Wesley and Abel, who were just laughing maniacally a moment ago, now seemed as horrified as if they’d just swallowed a fly it was almost comical.After a while, Wesley’s eyes became wide open. “How did she go missing? Seiryuu’s martial arts abilities are extraordinary, and she’s the best among the Four Great Princesses. If she activated Burning Veins, even Tristan is
On this day in September, there was a gentle breeze and slight drizzle.It brought a lot of cool air to Michigan that had been hot and humid.Alex Rockefeller sat in front of a glass window in a cafe while he looked at the pedestrians walking past in a hurry as it drizzled outside.The small cafe’s decorations didn’t seem to cost a lot.Apart from a female waitress in her thirties and the female boss, there were three long-legged women who looked like university students. Although they were dressed up very nicely, Alex had no eyes for them.His mind was completely focused on the music that was being played in the cafe.The song was none other than Daya Stoermer’s Three Lifetimes.“Wendy, check that handsome guy out. He hasn’t looked in our direction once since he came in. I bet his relationship just ended.”“What’s the matter? Are you attracted to him? Why don’t you try flirting with him? It might develop into a beautiful and touching love story worthy of being turned into a lo
Lucy Quinton immediately extended her hand to cover Mira Sands’ mouth.“Shut up. She’s from Michigan’s Stoermer family. How could she know that broke dude?” Lucy said softly in a nervous and terrified tone.Mira and Wendy Jonas immediately widened their eyes in surprise. They didn’t dare to make another sound.Soon, the woman opened the cafe’s door and walked in.Alex Rockefeller sat there without making a move.However, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.Indeed, the person who showed up was someone from Michigan’s Stoermer family, but she wasn’t Daya Stoermer, the woman whom Alex was waiting for. Instead, she was Xyla Stoermer.Xyla already saw Alex when she was outside the door.Right then, she directly walked over and greeted Alex respectfully. “Mr. Rockefeller!”The three women’s jaws nearly dropped as they stared on, tongue-tied.Lucy, especially, was beginning to suspect that she might be blind.She checked repeatedly to make sure that woman was from Michi
“What did Daya steal from you? What is it? Could it be a misunderstanding?” Xyla Stoermer asked.She really was too shocked.Xyla was very close to Daya Stoermer. Although she was Daya’s aunt, they had a bond like sisters. In fact, they even slept together on the same bed. In other words, Xyla knew Daya so well that she could count the number of birthmarks on Daya’s body.Well, there wasn’t a single birthmark on Daya.This was enough proof that Xyla knew Daya very well. How could Daya possibly steal anything?She had money and power. What else would Daya lack?The only thing she didn’t have was the freedom of marriage!“It’s not a misunderstanding. I know this very well!” Alex Rockefeller said with certainty.“What exactly is it?” Xyla asked.“This… It’s a little difficult to describe, but I am worried that Daya might accidentally get someone killed after stealing that thing from me. That would be terrible. I must see her,” Alex said.Based on how serious Alex made it sound,
Finally, Alex Rockefeller realized that Xyla Stoermer was soaked around her shoulder.In fact, she was wearing a chiffon blouse that became transparent when wet. Alex could clearly see a mulberry-colored bra strap. As his gaze shifted down the bra strap, a pleasant view came into sight.Alex let his gaze linger there for two seconds without being aware of it.Xyla nearly cried out in surprise when she looked down, Alex pushed the umbrella over to her side. “You’re already hurting from period cramps. Why aren’t you being careful at all? Hold the umbrella and give me your hand!” Alex ordered.Xyla was slightly stunned.Before she could react, Alex grabbed her hand. A strange spiritual power rushed into her veins. After that, it flowed all the way to her energy core in her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she could sense a warmth in her lower abdomen. The abdominal pain she felt earlier disappeared in an instant.Xyla was amazed. Just as she was about to thank Alex, someone suddenly spoke.
Xyla Stoermer’s almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and the aristocratic aura she had developed since she was a child burst out. It was as if she had an innate presence that loomed over everyone else from above.When Joe Sinclair’s two friends saw her like this, they were simultaneously stunned for a moment.They stopped themselves from charging forward.“Who are you?” One of them asked.Xyla chuckled coldly. “You don’t even know who I am, but why do you have the courage to attack us on behalf of Joe? Who gave you the courage? You can ask your master who I am… If I want to attack your family, would he dare to help you?”The man seemed a little doubtful and he was a little shocked by what Xyla said.She spoke strongly and confidently. It didn’t sound like she was bluffing.The man couldn’t help but look at Joe. “Mr. Sinclair, is what she said true? Who exactly is she?”Joe clutched his broken finger. With a look of pain and resentment on his face, he fixed his gaze on Alex.He l
What kind of man, and what kind of background must he have to possess such great ability?At this moment, Joe Sinclair finally felt afraid.Alex Rockefeller didn’t expect Xyla Stoermer to directly reveal the fact that he subjugated the princesses from the Coleman family. It was too late for him to stop her… He could only blame himself for not telling Xyla to keep it a secret beforehand.However, it was fine since she already said it!At this point, there was no reason for Alex to be afraid.That’s because the people he needed to guard against seemed to have already found out.“Why aren’t you gone yet?” Xyla yelled.Joe hesitated for two seconds before scurrying away.His two cowardly friends also quickly ran off.Xyla looked at Alex apologetically. “Mr. Rockefeller, I’m truly sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you. I didn’t expect to bump into an annoying person here.”“It’s fine. He’s just someone unimportant,” Alex said simply.“Are you dissatisfied with how I handled the s
Could the pillar be eaten?Of course not! This was common knowledge!However, the bead in the energy core was adamant on consuming the pillar. If Alex Rockefeller didn’t let it, it’d hop around like a naughty child giving Alex a headache.But he looked carefully at the very dated wooden pillar in front of him. It was black with tinges of yellow, and it had a lot of cracked grains. In fact, there were even some oil stains on it.It really was an ordinary pillar.Alex concluded that he wouldn’t look at the pillar anymore. Instead, he turned around and intended to leave.But the bead in his energy core suddenly emanated an extremely strong mental power. It felt as if a needle pricked his mind.“Ouch!” Alex cried in pain.Not only did it startle Xyla Stoermer, who was beside him, but it also shocked the female sales assistant who approached the two of them with tea. Her hands trembled, and the tray in her hands flipped over, causing the teacups to fall to the ground.Many customer
