'...'
Edmond became speechless when he heard Udo's words and became silent for a moment.
"It doesn't matter now. We have many things to do now and not to forget we have to change the plans because of the tests from the six vagrant cultivators," 
Nevertheless. He shook his head and tried to convince Udo to stop worrying about Ajax.
'Sigh'
Udo looked at Edmond for a moment before nodding his head with a sigh.
"Good"
Edmond took a deep breath and started saying, "Everyone, for the next 7 days, take as much rest as possible and try to maintain your top condition. Now, disperse."
As soon as he gave his orders, Edmond left the main hall along with Udo.
'Yes, we need to be in our top condition. Let's meet in a week,'
'Okay, everyone. I will also go back to my room'
Soon, everyone bid their goodbyes and left to their rooms to take a rest.
Since the nine cultivators fought against the demon army, they were still tired and with the earlier announcement, they decided to take full rest for the next 7 days to reach their top conditions.
"Lewis, Jeff, I will go and take some rest,"
Ajax also bid goodbyes to Lewis and Jeff before going back to the room in which senior brother Levi was resting.
'Creak'
'Woah. Th..this is,'
He opened the door to that room and he was shocked by what he had seen in there.
.....
In the royal hall,
"Your majesty, the intelligence group sent some important news that will shock the entire Zrochester province,"
Commander Reid kneeled on one knee and reported to Stephen Draton with a scroll in his shaking hands.
In front of him, the king of the Zrochester province, who was sitting on his throne chairs with a frown on his face.
"What is it?"
He was already annoyed with the lack of respect on commander Reid's face and adding with some important news, it made him irritated as he knew it was definitely not good news.
That's right! After Commander Reid was threatened by the kind, he didn't show any respect he had shown prior to his threatening.
As for the intelligence group, it was a small unit that gathers the information across the Zrochester province and if there were any threats to the kingdom, it would be sent to the king. As for other information, it would be sent to other groups under the royal family which would take care of those things.
"At the mercenary guild, many cultivators saw the 5 powerful old cultivators flying towards the guild and when they reached the guild building, they disappeared into thin air,"
Commander Reid continued to read the information on the scroll in his hands, "According to those cultivators, their cultivation is definitely greater than normal peak elite general realm cultivators."
After finishing his reading, the commander Reid closed the scroll and kept it away.
"What? Five powerful old cultivators?" 
As soon as he heard the commander Reid's words, King Stephen Draton immediately stood up from his throne chair and asked Reid for confirmation.
"Yes, your majesty,"
Commander Reid nodded his head and in the depths of his heart, he felt happy when he saw the anxious look on King Stephen Draton's face.
'That's definitely them. I knew it. They can't die that easily. Are they back for revenge?'
King Stephen Draton suppressed his anxiousness and silently thought in his head.
"I think, they are the six vagrant cultivators, your majesty; however, in the report, there are only the sightings of five cultivators,"
Commander Reid was in the royal army for more than 2 decades and knew who could make the powerful royal family worry just by their names. So, Commander Reid intentionally brought the topic of the 'Six vagrant cultivators'.
"Haha...So, what if it is six vagrant cultivators?"
Soon, King Stephen stopped feeling anxious when he remembered something and continued, "Their leader is already powerless. So, even if they come back to take revenge, they will die even before they could cause any damage to us."
"Huh?"
Commander Reid didn't understand what his King was speaking and confusedly looked at the King.
"Don't look confused, Reid. Do you know the leader of the six vagrant cultivators is none other than the guild master of the mercenary guild,"
Looking at the confused look on the commander Reid's face, King Stephen walked towards him and revealed something that made Commander Reid shocked.
However, it only lasted for a few seconds before nodding his head.
'No wonder, the royal family always avoided the mercenary guild and secretly did everything it could to destroy the mercenary guild,'
From the start, commander Reid was skeptical of the actions of the royal family; however, after knowing the truth, he secretly laughed inside his heart.
"I know you must be feeling happy at the appearance of the six vagrant cultivators; however, let me remember you something, the guild master is severely injured in the fight against the demon king a decade ago. So, there is no way, they can't win against us,"
 King Stephen guessed that commander Reid would be feeling happy with the appearance of the six vagrant cultivators because he knew they always opposed the royal family and the royal family was unable to do anything to them.
So, he wanted to crush that inner happiness in Commander Reid by remembering him about the injuries of the guild master.
"Your majesty, I know they can't win against the royal family even if the guild master was injured. But, you still have some unknown fear towards them that made you and the royal ministers behind you worried about them," However, commander Reid replied to King Stephen with an expressionless face before ending his reply with, "The worry is real that made you avoid the mercenary guild and that is the reason, who always instigated the top three sects towards them instead of attacking for yourself."
"Enough. Go out,"
When he heard the commander Reid's word, King Stephen became angry and shouted at him to go out of the royal hall.
"Yes, your majesty. If you need anything just send a message to me,"
Commander Reid maintained the same expressionless face and left the royal hall.
However, just when he turned back to leave the royal hall, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Today was the happiest day for the commander Reid as he was able to successfully irritate King Stephen in a polite way. 
'This commander Reid is becoming more and more brazen with his words now a day assuming that I will not kill him anytime soon; however, when I completely use, I will torture you and your entire family,'
After the commander Reid left the royal family, King Stephen clenched his hands and thought in his head.
That's right! The royal family still needed the commander Reid and that was the reason why King Stephen didn't say anything to the commander Reid even when he knew that commander Reid was intentionally annoying him.
"Come here,"
Just as he was in his thoughts, King Stephen heard a deep voice from an opened door to his left.
"Huh? Master?"
Stephen became serious when he saw the door to his left was opened and he heard his master's voice.
Without wasting any time, he immediately entered the room and closed the door.
"I heard someone mention 'Six vagrant cultivators'. Are they back?"
The room was entirely filled with some golden coloured mist and as soon as he entered the room, King Stephen once again heard the familiar voice and became excited.
"Master, where are you? I am unable to see,"
However, he was able to see his master whom he assumed dead until now.
"I am here. This golden colour mist is me and I don't have much time before I once again enter into slumber," The deep voice once again resounded in the room through the golden coloured mist.
"What? You are the golden mist?"
King Stephen became shocked when he heard those words and hurriedly stopped walking in the golden coloured mist fearing that his master would disappear if he entered into it.
"Haha...no need to worry about it," the voice laughed at the actions of King Stephen before saying, "Let me warn you. Don't fight the six vagrants yet. I need some more time to be resurrected. Until then, even if you have to apologize to them, you have to do it. Do you understand?"
In the end, the voice slowly became weak as though the owner of the voice seemed to not have any energy to speak much longer.
"What? You are resurrecting? Great. Even if I have to kneel, I will do it for you master,"
King Stephen became excited when he heard those words because his master meant everything to him. So, he didn't hesitate to apologize to the guild master for not sending reinforcements.
"Good. I know about you, my dear disciple. Until then please take care. Now go,"
As soon as the deep voice finished its words, the door to the room opened.
"Yes, master. I hope you will be resurrected soon,"
Without wasting any time, King Stephen left the room and closed it.
'I thought I was never going to see my master ever again. But my master is coming back to life. If I didn't sense the familiar feeling inside the room, even if the voice belongs to my aster, I would have not believed it,'
After coming out of the room, he felt excited and all his previous irritation was gone.

Stephen and Sonic Butterfly King kept talking as they completed their registration. Even Kings had to follow the rules of the Thousand Treasures.
The Thousand Treasures rarely had any conflict with those of other races, but their powers most certainly positioned them in the top ten races of the universe. Many suspected they could easily land a spot in the top five.
Stephen and Sonic Butterfly King readied themselves to leave, when suddenly a man and a woman entered the base. With them was a little girl. The two Kings frowned upon seeing them.
They hadn't noticed that the man was Han Sen, but they felt the presence of the Jade Drum that Huangfu Jing was carrying. They frowned at her sternly.
Since they had to register their Drums, there was no point in trying to hide what they had found.
And in regards to the Thousand Treasures, they wouldn't help a customer hide their Jade Drum, either. The Thousand Treasures wanted the universe to know every time someone found a Jade Drum on Planet Jade Drum. It would be very good for their business. So Han Sen and Huangfu Jing carried their Jade Drums openly.
Since they were going to register their drums, they didn't have to hide their identities, either. Every Jade Drum claimed would be advertised. So, Han Sen took Huangfu Jing to register their findings right away.
Sonic Butterfly King and Stephen saw Han Sen and Huangfu Jing approach the registration booth. They kept staring at Huangfu Jing's bag. They could sense the Jade Drum inside, but they knew they couldn't be 100% certain that's what it was until they saw it.
When Huangfu Jing took her Jade Drum out of her bag, the Kings sucked in a sharp breath of air.
"A Jade Drum... That's a Jade Drum!" Those of the other races saw Huangfu Jing reveal a Jade Drum, and many of them couldn't keep themselves from shouting.
"It has been a year since the last Jade Drum was found."
"Look at her presence. She is a Marquise at the very most. I can't believe she was lucky enough to find one of those legendary Jade Drums."
"Haha! Is this good luck or bad? It will be difficult to determine. Things don't always go well for a Marquise who finds a Jade Drum."
All the Kings were talking quietly amongst themselves. The workers in the base were just as surprised to see the Jade Drum, as well. But they still registered it to her like it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Doing business with the Thousand Treasures was reliable. They had even sold deified treasures before. Nothing bad ever happened in one of their places of business. They wouldn't try anything underhanded to attempt to secure a Jade Drum.
They followed their procedures and protocol as was customary. Huangfu Jing handed in her access ticket, then struck her Jade Drum. After the registration was complete, the Jade Drum was confirmed to be an official possession of hers.
Stephen could not help himself from walking over to Huangfu Jing and asking, "Friend, are you selling that Jade Drum of yours?"
"Sorry, I don't plan on selling it," Huangfu Jing said.
She was just an Earl. A Duke Jade Drum could be very beneficial to her, and it would be much safer for her to explore with it in tow. Killing xenogeneics would be much easier, as well. Huangfu Jing had no intention of selling it.
Of course, that was also because no King planned on attacking her just yet.
Stephen frowned, but he wasn't going to give up so easily. He went on to say, "Do not reject my request just yet. I am Stephen from the Naga. Give me your sum. Name any price. I won't try to haggle you for a bargain."
"Sorry." Huangfu Jing did not move a muscle, save to give him her quick answer of no.
Stephen's face looked dire. So, Sonic Butterfly King came forward and said, "Kid, it won't be easy to look after a Jade Drum. I can trade you my Duke-class Eight Sonic Butterfly for it. And on top of that, I will keep you safe. What do you say to that?"
"Sorry." Huangfu Jing's answer was still the same cold response.
"If you do not sell it right now, you will regret it the moment you set foot off of Planet Jade Drum. But by then, it will be too late. If you want to sell it, now is your chance." Sonic Butterfly King's face did not change during his speech. He smiled.
Huangfu Jing ignored him and stepped away.
Sonic Butterfly King started to step closer to tell her something else, but Han Sen walked in front of him and said, "My friend told you she isn't interested in selling it. Please ask someone else."
Sonic Butterfly King's expression turned to stone. "How dare you interrupt my talk with her?"
Han Sen shrugged silently. He moved to the registry booth and revealed his own Jade Drum.
"Another Jade Drum!" Everyone in the base was shocked. No one could have expected that two Jade Drums would be found on the same day.
Sonic Butterfly King was flabbergasted. He did not expect Han Sen to have a white Jade Drum, as well.
The workers looked very surprised. They completed the registration for Han Sen, indicating it now officially belonged to him.
"Are you selling your Jade Drum? What I promised her will still apply to you, if you are willing to engage in such a transaction." Sonic Butterfly King looked right at Han Sen when he spoke.
Han Sen ignored him, which prompted Stephen to follow up. He said, "Friend, if you are selling the Jade Drum, I will pay a high price and keep you safe. You can name your price. Anything you wish."
"Sorry, but I have made no plans to sell it," Han Sen answered, rejecting his offer.
Sonic Butterfly King looked gloomy, but before he said anything further, his eyes opened wide. He saw Han Sen bring out another Jade Drum.
This Jade Drum looked very strange. There were some red symbols across it, and it looked very different from the average Jade Drum.
"It's a... another Jade Drum... How is that possible?!"
"D*mn! It looks like they are together. They found three Jade Drums. Did they find a special Jade Drum mine?"
"This luck is truly crazy. They have managed to obtain three Jade Drums."
"That third Jade Drum looks wrong, though. It's different than a normal one. It cannot be a mutant one, can it?"
"If it is a mutant Jade Drum, then it will be worth a lot. We know that normal Jade Drums can become King class, but a mutant Jade Drum might go even higher."
"That is extremely lucky. It is too lucky. I'm sure such luck will result in a disaster for them shortly. They look low-level, but they have each earned a Jade Drum. Oof. They are very dead."
"That is not luck! That is pure danger."
...
As everyone discussed this, Stephen and Sonic Butterfly King stared at the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum, seething with greed. They didn't even blink. The mutant Jade Drum was so exceptionally rare that it wasn't seen more than once every ten thousand years. They could have been items that were higher than King class. Even King class people treated them like treasures.
"I am sorry, sir. According to the rules of the Thousand Treasures, every creature can only take one Drum with them. You have already registered one..." the worker said to Han Sen.
"I know. This Drum isn't mine. It belongs to my daughter." Han Sen pointed at Bao'er, and then he passed her the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum.
"Then, we will have to see her play it," the worker said, clearly not believing Han Sen. The worker looked back and forth between Bao'er and the Jade Drum.
"Does she have to hit the Drum here?" Han Sen asked.
"Yes. Those are the rules." The worker nodded with absolute certainty.

Lily led Kylie and Ethan to an impoverished part of town. Kylie knew that the people living here had mostly been deemed useless and had been thrown away. There were many old and severely handicapped people. Their faces gave the impression that they'd lived very long lives. When they begged for money, she felt compelled to give, and she felt guilty for the manner in which she lived. None of these people seemed particularly happy to be alive and still survive amidst the poverty life they had. 
Lily pointed to an old brick building, and as they parked, she explained that this was where Jane and her mother lived. The place looked so broken and dismantled that Kylie wondered how it stood up still, and how people managed to live in this kind of building. Her heart sank when she realized how hard it was for Jane every day, living this kind of life. 
Lily led them into the building and up to the top floor. The elevator was out of service, so they had to take the stairs. Jane's apartment was on the top floor, first door on the left. Kylie knocked, and when Jane opened the door, she was disgusted to see that they'd brought Lily. Kylie saw the look on her face, so she explained how they'd needed Lily to show them where she lived.
Jane sighed and invited them inside. She offered them seats in the living room, and once everyone was seated, she said," Why did you guys come here?"
Kylie quickly answered, "We're here to help you. In order to do that, the first thing we need to know pertains to your mother's health. I hope this way we could ease your burden,"
Jane nodded and went into the other room to gather up her mother's medical records. When she returned, she said, "Things have always been hard for us. It has been a long time since my mother was able to work. That meant that it was up to me to not just take care of the two of us but also to take care of her medical expenses,"
"Slowly, though," Jane continued, "I was able to set aside some savings. Within a few months, I'd hoped to get us out of this dump finally, but then Khloe forced me to pay for the damages to her car – which had nothing to do with me – and I was suddenly forced back to square one. You couldn't imagine how long it took to save that money, so it is so disheartening to have it taken from me. She doesn't know how hard my life is, every day, I force myself to accept this kind of living, but I strive hard to make for a living," 
Jane began to cry, so Kylie sat beside her and hugged her while encouraging her to "let it all out." Once Jane regained her composure, Kylie dialed the number for Stephen. Once he picked up the phone, Kylie explained the situation and asked him if he could arrange for a surgeon that would be willing to take over as Jane's mother's doctor/surgeon, pro bono,"
"Give me a few moments to see what I can do," he said. "I will get back to you as soon as possible."
While they waited, Jane offered them tea and scones, which they graciously accepted. They all knew that Jane could not afford to give food away, but they also knew that Jane would be very embarrassed if they declined. The tea was raspberry flavored, and it was divine.
Kylie was just taking her first sip when her phone rang. She picked it up as quickly as she could and was ecstatic when she heard what Stephen had to say: "I've contacted an expert on cardiac surgery. He is in Seattle, but don't worry, and we will take care of all of the expenses. Furthermore, the surgeon has put Jane's mother at the top of the list. As soon as she arrives in Seattle, he will begin treating her.
Kylie answered joyfully, "Oh, thank you so much!"
"Don't mention it," He said and ended the call. When everything settled, they left quickly at Jane's house.
***
When Kylie arrived back at Garbo Palace, Stephen and Ethan were in the middle of a chess match.
"Who's winning?" she wondered as she looked at the board. She didn't really know much about chess, so she couldn't tell for herself who was winning.
Stephen looked at her and said, "You are the winner; now more than ever – because you are my boss now."
Kylie ruffled his hair and asked him if he was jealous.
"Not in the least bit," Stephen laughed.
Suddenly, Ethan grabbed her by the waist and pulled her onto his lap. He pointed to the board and asked her what his next move should be. Not knowing how the game worked, she took a piece at random – which happened to be the king – and pushed it ahead by four spaces.
Stephen looked at her and growled: "You can't do that?"
Kylie pouted, and as she turned to Ethan, he asked her if she'd made an illegal move.
"I'm afraid that you did," Ethan sighed.
"If it is illegal," Kylie giggled, "then you must put me under arrest; my room will be my prison cell. Would you be my guard and torture me?"
"This is fucking dumb," Stephen snapped at Ethan. "If you won't take the game seriously, then I will walk away."
Laughing Ethan touched his king, tipped it over, and said. "I am so sorry. You are completely right. I surrender."
Stephen scowled and went off to sit on the balcony.
Once he was gone, Kylie leaned against Ethan's chest and softly kissed him on the mouth. She kissed him again and then, between kisses, she said, "I have been a very naughty girl. I think I need to be punished."
"Are you sure?" Ethan replied. "Tomorrow is the Oscars. Maybe you want to get some rest so that you are at your very best when the spotlight hits you?"
Kylie ran her fingers down his chest and said, "Don't worry. The night is young still."

Wanna know more about the story follow me at Instagram: annashannellin

"When is the last time you were in Bangor?" Huxley asks, turning off the expressway.

When we woke up this morning, and he said he had a surprise for me, I won't lie I worried. So far, surprises from Huxley have included walking into precarious situations or waving fake guns at people who broke into my apartment. I wasn't quite sure I could handle another Huxley surprise.

After a quick shower he hustled me into the car and we took off on the freeway. It wasn't until we started driving inland and I noticed the signs for Bangor I realize we had to be going to the famous town. There's not a lot of places in Maine to visit.

"Um..." I think very hard on how to answer his question. "In high school. I distinctly remember Katy and I getting in the car and coming to shop on more than one occasion."

"You drove all the way to Bangor to shop?" Huxley asks, checking my answer from the corner of his eye.

I give a halfhearted shrug. "They have a real mall." A real mall. Not the outside open-air shopping center located between Pelican Bay and new Pelican Bay that Katy likes to call a mall. A real mall, with doors you have to walk in to get to the shops. Food courts. Loud speakers. A pretzel stand.

"Did you know Stephen King has a house in Bangor," I recite the well-known fact every person from Maine knows.

Huxley smiles. "Why do you think we're here? It's top on my list."

I laugh. When he said sightseeing, I didn't expect him to mean it. "I didn't take you for a King fan."

"There're often lots of down time overseas. When you're waiting for information on a mission or need someone else to carry out their part of a plan. I did a lot of reading. King got me through long nights."

"King gave me lots of long nights." I don't think I slept for a week after I read It. Why my school librarian thought it was acceptable to let a sixth grader read that book I'll never understand.

Huxley laughs using his blinker to turn as we drive toward the large downtown area of Bangor. The city is much larger than Pelican Bay. Over one hundred thousand people live in the surrounding areas, and the downtown area shows it. The main street is longer and the buildings taller. Everything from cute cafes to art shops and places to buy antiques. There's never been this much variety in Pelican Bay. And we haven't even hit the mall yet.

"Is it okay with you if we drive by Stephen's house first and then do a little shopping downtown?" Huxley asks.

I don't miss the way he calls King by his first name, as if the two are best friends. "Sure, do you know how to get there?"

As I said before, I haven't been to Bangor in years, but the other thing the city has, which Pelican Bay doesn't, is reliable cell service. With a working smart phone, I can bring up the directions rather quickly. Truth of the matter is Stephen King doesn't spend much time at this house since it's such a popular tourist attraction, but I don't plan to tell Huxley that and ruin the excitement for him.

He taps a finger to his head twice. "I've got them right here." Like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning, a smile stretches across his features as he takes the few turns required to get on the path to the much-hyped home.

"Ohhh, while you're here we totally need to go see the Paul Bunyan statue."

"You guys have a statue of Paul Bunyan?" Huxley's eyes narrow as he takes another turn. How hard is it to believe that Maine would have a giant statue of Paul Bunyan?

"You don't have a statue of Paul? It's the main thing. You can't visit Bangor and not get a picture of Paul Bunyan. You get bad luck if you don't."

Huxley turns off the main road into a small side area with housing. The streets are lined with large houses the people paid a pretty penny for to live here. Stephen King doesn't live in squalor. The car slows as Huxley spends more time looking out the window to see if he can spot the house than he does focusing on the road in front of him. I've seen Stephen King's house and not much has changed to the brick exterior, so I take over watching the road.

"There it is," he exclaims pointing out the side window.

Sure enough, the red brick mansion comes into view on our side. A black wrought-iron gate with bat-like features at the posts instead of traditional lions impede very little of our view. The spider-web-like gate is open giving Huxley a straight shot to look at the mansion with its white wraparound front porch.

It really is a beautiful home even without Stephen King living there. If you didn't know he wrote blood and guts, you could easily see Danielle Steel sitting at the desk writing historic love stories about a time that got away.

The trees are in full bloom and cast a shadow on the lawn, including a dead stump which has been cut off and left to sit.

"You think he's inside right now?" Huxley asks, not taking his eyes off the large home.

Probably not, but I don't want to ruin his fun so I play long. "Probably writing something important."

"My brother, the one who died, wanted to be a writer after he finished his service. He planned to put in his twenty years and then write war stories like Patterson but with scary creatures like Stephen King. He would've been amazing."

I rub my hand against Huxley in a comforting way. "I bet he would have."

"I may have followed him into the service, but there's no way I can finish out the rest of his dreams. He had a wild imagination."

"Well, if you're unhappy in Hawaii," Which I still find crazy because who wouldn't be happy in Hawaii. It's so beautiful there. "It's time for you to find something you do enjoy. Live for Huxley this time."

My words sink in as he nods his head still staring at Stephen King's home. It's as if Huxley lived for everyone else—first his brother, the military, and then me. I hope he can decide what he wants to do. And when he does that his plans include me.

"Okay, let's go shopping," he says putting my car into gear and pulling away from the famous house.

"Exactly what every girl wants to hear."

"We can park downtown. Right?" Huxley asks.

I nod. "Hopefully you have money for a meter." Downtown Bangor is bigger than Pelican Bay's Main Street, but it's not that much bigger. We should be able to walk it in a reasonably quick time. I like to shop, yes, but I only work a part-time job at a club and pick up random shifts at the bakery. Money is tight lately.

Huxley follows my directions out of Stephen King's neighborhood and drives back toward downtown Bangor at an even pace.

"Wait! We forgot about Paul. Turn this way," I yell and point in the direction when I see the area where Paul Bunyan's large statue is located. Huxley follows and we find the tall flannel plaid man just off the road.

He is a total tourist trap, but you have to see him when you're here. I don't make the rules. I just follow them.



A fun, humorous romantic suspense series from USA Today bestselling author, Megan Matthews!
Pelican Bay Security is full of hot former Navy SEALS, a small costal town in Maine (with a crime problem), and a group of Bakery Girls waiting to cause trouble. 

When I moved here to set up a new security company as a fugitive recovery specialist, I didn’t plan to find my next-door neighbor breaking into her aunt’s house. I also didn’t expect the random henchmen harassing her for diamonds she insists she doesn’t have.

Tabitha is running from an ex-boyfriend, and I desperately want to help. As a former Navy SEAL I have the skills to deal with almost any idiot willing to give his girlfriend a black eye. Her lies, drama, and ex-boyfriend catch up with her and it may not be something I can handle on my own. I just hope if things turn violent, we both come out alive.
