Chapter One... My Dreams Are Not My Own

"I have put up with your ballet lessons and dance classes long enough, it's time to get serious and put all of this silly nonsense behind you Amelia, You're a Woodrow I will not have you disgracing our family name, so I called my friends at Oxford University and got you in. You leave in 2 weeks." This 'conversation' if you want to call it had happened 4 weeks ago and to this day was still the only thing running through my mind as I walked on the grounds around Oxford university on this ice cold "summer" day, thinking back and remembering summers in California that I had spent on the beach with friends or in my dance classes that I loved oh so much and now, here I am under my father's 'guidance' forced to study for my law degree that I don't even want.

All I've ever wanted from the time I was growing up was to be a dancer and now here I am, living the dream, note the sarcasm but I'm here anyway whether I want to be or not, sitting through lectures where all you hear are incoherent sentences that I'm sure I wouldn't understand even if he was speaking clearly. 

I've been walking around campus for the last 45 minutes, my classes for the day ended and hour ago and I don't have anything else to do since I don't have any friends here, I decided I might as well go to the library and find some more study aids since I'm stuck here. Walking to the library was cold and lonely, nobody wants to talk to the American Girl whose father just had to make a call to get her in to Oxford University, I saw students laughing with friends and some with their boyfriends or girlfriends on benches and in cafés just being with each other.

After walking for what seemed like 20 minutes I reached the rather large and unnecessarily over-sized campus library, I had been here many times in the last week because I've had nothing better to do or anywhere to go, truthfully I loved the smell of the old books in here most of the students just got their research books on kindle or something so it was fairly empty except for one guy that was here a lot too, walking up the steps to the old library I put my phone on silent, as if anyone would phone me, and walk through the large wooden doors greeting the old librarian who over the past week is the only person who cared to remember my name. "Hello, Mrs. Rogers." I whisper walking into the large hall. "Amelia how many times do I have to tell you to call me Elaine?" She says back sternly with a small smile nodding to me and once again there are only 3 people in the library so I decided to go and fetch a couple, okay 20, research books (bitch, don't judge me acting like you ain't never came to the library to get 20 books!) seeing the all too familiar face of the unnamed guy on the other end of the hall as he slightly raises his head to see who has entered the library but never enough to see his face. I must say his thick rimmed glasses and stubble intrigued me and the way he was sitting in an almost slouched position likehe was about to stand up and take me at any second almost drew me towards him. But I came here for a reason and that reason was not to get laid by a mysterious guy in a public university library.

I walked through the rows pulling out dozens of books and slowly walking back to a spot at the long table in the middle of the library, what I hadn't noticed though was the fact that I had dropped a few books that were now on the floor in-front of me out of view causing me to stumble as I tripped over one dropping all of my books and almost falling to the floor, key word here is almost, as I felt strong arms wrap around my waist pulling me back up so that my back was against his strong chest feeling his warm minty breath on the back of my neck as I struggled to control my breathing and my rapidly increasing heart beat, as my heartbeat regulated I turned round to see my hero and looked back into beautiful hazel/brown eyes that made my knees go week. "Um thank you for saving me I could have really gotten hurt, I'm Amelia by the way." I say thanking mystery guy. "That's nice, it was no big deal." He says in the sexiest voice I've ever heard in my life as he turns around and simply sits back in his seat in that same slumped over position. After another hour he got up and left still not telling me his name. "Elaine, do you perhaps know who that young man was?" I asked her seeing as he was here just as much as I was. "I'm sorry love but he just comes in here and he never says much, unless his asking for the reference book." She states with sympathy in her eyes.

Needless to say I came back to the library for the next 3 days hoping to see him but he was never there. Until one day that was actually kind of warm I went to my lecture since it was time for criminal law and I took my usual seat in the middle of the lecture hall waiting for everyone else to come inside and take their seats. I saw the shadow of those familiar glasses pass behind me and heard him take a seat while our lecturer entered. I heard a pencil going crazy behind me as the lecturer spoke words I could not understand until he asked out loud. "Mr. Hale, Can you answer the question?" He asked looking over his glasses and the mystery guy behind me. 

"Second Degree Murder: Definition Second-degree murder is ordinarily defined as: 1) an intentional killing that is not premeditated or planned, nor committed in a reasonable 'heat of passion'; or 2) a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life. Second-degree murder may best be viewed as the middle ground between first-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter." He said in that sexy raspy voice that makes my knees oh so weak. "Thank you Daniel you are correct again!" The lecturer stated sounding kind of disappointed. Oh how I love a smart guy! I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see mystery guy. "Yeah?" I asked confused as to why he tapped me. "By the way I'm Daniel, Daniel Isaac Hale" he said and I swear I saw a smirk on his beautiful lips.

I turn around to take down my notes as the bell rings signaling the end of the lecture. I pick up my books and look to the door to see Daniel speed walking out of it, making my way down the stairs I break into a run chasing after him and following him into the field, he walks unbelievably fast so in attempt to catch him I jump onto his back causing us to tumble to the ground . Don't act like you ain't never chased a guy and tackled him to the ground before.

"Um, I'm not saying that I don't like this but could you get off of me please because people are beginning to stare at us!" He sort of whisper/shouts at me back at me, trying to get me off of him, I roll onto my back and sit up as he shoves his hand at me to help me up, he pulls me up and I hit his chest with my face, looking up into his hazel/brown eyes. "So, why did you follow me? And chase me? And tackle me to the ground?" he asks in his thick British accent. "Wait, why did I do that?" I whisper to myself. "So are you going to answer me or just stand there staring at me awkwardly?" He asks again scratching the back of his neck. "Can I choose the latter, the view is kind of amazing!" I say laughing at my own stupidity after realizing what I just said, Daniel laughs and picks up his bag turning to walk away. "Wait, Daniel!" I shout stopping him in his tracks he turns his head and I swear I saw a smirk on those perfect lips. "Yeah?" he asked putting his hands in his pockets. "I was wondering if I could walk with you to our next class. I tend to get lost around here at times and well you've been here longer and I don't have any friends here except my roommate so I thought I would just, you know, seize the moment what do you say?" I ask as he laughs nodding his head as I run to catch up to Daniel smiling like an absolute idiot and we start our way to class.

"What's her name?" He asks out of absolutely nowhere. "Huh?" I mutter not paying attention to what he was saying. "Your room mate! What is her name?" He asks in an obvious 'duh' tone. "Oh, her name is Ingrid, very beautiful but plain girl, she is studying..." "Literary English, she wants to be a writer." He cuts me off laughing just a little bit. "Oh? And what about your roommate?" I ask stupidly thinking I am being smart. "I have no roommate love, I don't live on campus." He exclaims as we turn a corner and another and then another. Wait did he just call me love.

"That must be really nice?!" I state but more to myself as I look up at him, he is reasonably taller than me and has amazing black hair and these eyes that stare into your soul, that moment of silence was comfortable no awkwardness at all just complete and utter peace...

Until he broke it! "Here we are room 114, White collar crime law." Daniel says as he opens the door and motions for me to enter first like a true gentleman. The lecture hall was empty seeing as we were a half an hour early so we took seats next to each other right in the middle of the lecture hall and started talking.

He is 20 and an only child, studying from a criminal law degree but would much rather be studying film making. Whereas I am 19, have two older brothers, one is in the army and the other is in the navy, and I am studying for a full law degree but would much rather be studying dance. Daniel laughed at me and told me I was much too young to be studying for a full degree I nudged him and laughed at his way of stating things flat out, our conversation got cut short though when a high pitched screech came from a blonde on the other side of the room. "Danny, I haven't seen you in forever, I've missed yah so much!" she shrieked 'Erg typical blond bimbo bitch!' I think to myself but my thoughts get interrupted by Daniel putting his large hand on my leg and looking at me in an apologetic way. "Britney as you can see I am having a conversation. So? You can leave now, go." He says calmly shooing Britney away. 'Erg Britney typical blonde bimbo bitch name, how did she even get in here? She probably screwed her way in!' I thought to myself or at least that's what I thought, until Daniel started laughing and she lunged towards me luckily she was caught mid-flight. "Oh gosh did I say that out loud?" I ask Daniel who just can't seem to stop laughing. "He said walk away Brit you know what that means!" Mystery guy says pulling her away.

Class passed by in the blink of an eye and the next thing I know Daniel and I are walking to a coffee shop off of campus.

The Woodrow's were a proud and noble family. But two years after her mother's death, Amelia is forced to leave her love of dance behind to pursue her father's biggest dream for her... Law school. 

When Amelia meets bad boy Daniel Hale, a young aspiring director who is in the same predicament who sets her body of fire and tempts her to do everything her father warned her not to do, will he make her dance to his every desire or will she learn to dance on her own...

Hello my name is Maybelle, and ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to solve a mystery. But no matter what no one would give me a chance neither my parents nor my siblings. As the years went by I started taking up weird hobbies that had interested me, ones that I can use if I were ever to encounter a mystery. When I entered college, I met my future husband Richard. He loved me so much; especially my weird hobbies. Richard had noticed that all of them could be written about and encouraged me to write, which I had done for several years. Time went on we eventually got married and settled down. Years went by, I stopped writing when my husband had passed away. 

"When will I ever have the chance to do something new?" I had asked myself, but then an old friend of mine had seen me and we not only caught up with each other but we encountered a murder. Neither me nor my friend had known what to do at the time but we ended up solving the murder since it had taken place near my home. 

"How exciting" I thought. So after some time went by even my own nephew came by to try and help out as well, which was interesting enough as it was. Me and my old friend did eventually have our own adventure and by then I had finally wrote a new story from the murder we had solved. My nephew had taken it to himself with his own kids to look out for me. Sometimes I wonder if I'll encounter a new mystery with my great nieces and once again with my nephew. 

"What will lay in store for me if I stay here in Whitechurch, England." Not long after I had said that there was a knock at the door and my lovely little nieces had opened the apartment door for their daddy and mommy.

"My aren't you two growing up so fast" said the man at the door.

" Uncle Sydney" the twins excitedly squealed.

" Great Aunt Maybelle look whose come today" they said in unison. 

" My Syd whatever do I owe the pleasure for this visit today?" I asked with a smile on my face.

Alluring Mystery

Dear Readers

Your probably wondering what happened to this story, and honestly I don't know what to say.

For the past month or so, a lot has been happening for me. In RL especially, and the net. And while I love this story to bits, I really can't bring myself to write this anymore. I started this story out with a group of good friends of mine, and we all got along very well. There characters in this story too, we all had so much coming up with ideas and discussing things. But at some point something changed, and I realized it was becoming awkward.

I still consider everybody as a good friend, but with the circumstances the way they are writing this would be impossible for me. I hope I can one day go back to this. Perhaps when I finish Princess Lyn (Book1) maybe my feelings would have settled on this story, and I'd be able to write it without being too attached. The way things are now, I just can't write it. 

Thank you for listening, I hope you direct your support towards my other books.

Time was just a defined concept to separate the condition before the change and after the change, and the process of the movements. For those who were at a lower level than Dharmakaya, the time became slow was more of movements and sensations. Only those who practiced the Art of Time Lei Gong successfully and achieved certain level could feel the existence of the illusory Timeless River.
At this moment, Su Meng was like a stone fixed in the Timeless River and used the ripples around himself to present the abstract time in front of people.
This is… Mister Luda and Su Wuming of Taishang Wang Qing looked attentively and seed to know what was happening.
But He Qi felt differently. In his eyes, Su Meng was like the origin for everything. He could make a great influence by changing himself a little bit. For example, things unknown before getting close to secret room and that knocking sound, which could not be simply explained by hiding aura.
What is this special art? Or is it because he had the legend feature as soon as he achieved Dharmakaya like Su Wuming? The legend features that are different from Mister Luda's and Su Wuming?
Immortal Yun He smiled and then was a little surprised to see the little boy who used to ask for help now became a real Fairy. He frowned and felt that he had seen it written on some books.
He then felt a sudden jolt and a word flashed across his mind:
"The Principles of Karma."
The origin of all connections, developments, changes, etc.
Is he the descendant of Yuan Shi and the Kunlun Jade Sect?
The Immortal Yun He only saw the Jade Mirage Palace in books written by the Immortal of Nature. He knew that it was the Orthodoxy of Yuan Shi in legend stories but disappeared together with the Ling Bao Sect and other inheritance from Demons and Saints after Heavenly Court falling down in ancient times.
Those things disappeared so mysteriously as it was not recorded in any ancient books as if someone did it on purpose to erase everything related in history. Only some words in legend stories and inheritance could prove that those things did exist before, that Three Pristines was not fictional but real! 
Yun He became excited and thought that since his own patriarch Immortal of Nature was successor of Lord Ling Bao, he should know something about it but nothing was recorded.
Yun He never thought that he could still see the descendants of Yuan Shi and the Principles of Karma!
He did not open his mouth to ask since he was not sure if Su Meng would be willing to tell.
Gao Teng was carrying a token and looked at Meng Qi with a deep aura like evening stars and suddenly remembered what he saw in Shen Du: he cut an escape route even when being circled around. Gao Teng was both surprised and disappointed seeing it. Meng Qi now was more mature than before and more reserved, not as vigorous as his youth but only made others feel more scared of him.
Once one achieved Dharmakaya, the difference was doomed between a Fairy and an average man!
There was no meaning to say, "As in the Yangtze River waves urge waves, so the younger generation excels the older generation." The one who arrive first always win.
The atmosphere of the secret room changed slightly as Meng Qi stepped in.
Su Wuming who put the sword on his knees said calmly, "You in the past is not you. You in the future is not you. Bravo."
He already knew that Meng Qi cut the connection with the past and future with only this life left.
Mister Luda also smiled and said, "No wonder you chose this journey as well. And you did a great job by having both the legend feature and the Nirvana Realm feature. But you should know that this journey is lonely and dangerous, and much more difficult than normal way."
If they chose a normal way, their safety could be guaranteed for that will make their journey much more easier. But Mister Luda and Meng Qi could be facing many dangers on their journey.
The Nirvana Realm feature? He Qi, Yun he and Gao Teng all opened their eyes wide. 
What was the Nirvana Realm? The Dao Fruition of Half-Step after crossing the sea of trouble is the Nirvana Realm, like Heavenly Primogenitor and Gautama Buddha. Those who were in the Nirvana Realm are the top of the top!
The death and rebirth of a century and the so-called mahakappa were the fights between those in Nirvana Realm. They existed in the past, at present and in future. They could call a stag a horse. One would be scared just by hearing their name.
But Su Meng had just achieved Dharmakaya and stepped into the Man Fairy Realm and he already had the features of Nirvana Realm like those big figures?
This had never happened before, except for those who were born with special powers.
"Hack my way through difficulties and make a new way for our later generation." Meng Qi smiled and kilted front part of his black robe and sat down on a hassock casually.
By hook or by crook, he had to continue walking the path that he had chosen.
He had nothing more to say.
He Qi came back to himself after being surprised by Meng Qi's feature of the Nirvana Realm. He asked curiously, "By choosing your way, would Armageddon occur when achieving Dharmakaya?"
Armageddon for Dharmakaya was very dangerous and scary.
Especially since Su Meng also gained the features of the legend and Nirvana Realms, much stronger than a normal Dharmakaya, his Armageddon should have been more difficult to pass.
"My case is special. I experienced man's disaster," Meng Qi answered honestly. He was not sure if others would have the same experience as he did.
Yun He looked at Meng Qi up and down and then smiled and said, "Nice blade."
Though the heavy blade was wrapped by sheath with its light hidden, but whoever looked at it would feel a jolt.
"The Tyrant's Invincible Blade," Meng Qi said simply.
The Tyrant's Invincible Blade? He stole it from the Plain Girl Sect? He Qi and Gao Teng were both very shocked.
A Peerless Heavenly Weapon was pretty rare in the world and the Tyrant's Invincible Blade was one of them!
Meng Qi looked at them and smiled, "The blade came and found me."
The Tyrant's Invincible Blade was far more than a simple Peerless Heavenly Weapon could describe. It ranked top among all weapons except for those books that was written with complete information since mighty people did not want others to know about it. The top ten Peerless Heavenly Weapons are far more powerful than others, equaling to arriving in the Nirvana Realm and achieving Dao Fruition of half-step, like Yuan Yang Ruler's "Defense First", the Emperor's Sword "King's Dao First", Time Blade's "Unknown First", the Deep Sea Sword's "Murder First", the Seal of Samsara's "Mystery First", the Spear of Mythical Creatures'"Ruin First", Scorpio Axe's "Attack First", Devil's Claws'"Dirt First", Bodhi tree's "Brushing Everything", and the Tyrant's Invincible Blade's "Tough First"!
Meng Qi now remembered that the glaze branch that helped the Five Finger Mountain to oppress Devil Buddha was Bodhi tree. In the Mythological Era, Gautama Buddha gained it from Dao Fruition of half-step by carving on the Bodhi tree. It disappeared as Gautama Buddha died until Devil Buddha came out in the world.
No wonder Yang Jian and other might people all believed that it was Gautama Buddha who oppressed Devil Buddha Ananda.
Yun He calmed down. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Su, you became a Man Fairy and obtained the Tyrant's Invincible Blade. And you have both features of the legend and Nirvana Realms. This is help from Heaven."
Meng Qi nodded and said, " I came here for this."
Mister Luda continued, "Gu Erduo was only left with real spirit. Even if he made some progress, ten years is still too short for him to recover. If the Scorpio Axe did not upgrade, I can stop him by myself."
Mister Luda had made great progress during these 10 years. He had cut the connection between him and himself and walked a completely different way.
Sounds like Mister Luda was not far from Divine Fairy… Meng Qi pondered.
Su Wuming said coldly, "If Heretic Evil Demon claimed to attack, things would not be that difficult. Better an open enemy than a false enemy. We better be careful these days."
He Qi nodded and said, "I agree. But sometimes we need to issue attacks as well. It's a bad thing to be always in defense."
Yun He frowned and said, "The Evil Demon seldom let others know where he was. Even if we want to issue attack, we would have to be able to find them first."
Mister Luda pondered and said, "We are better than them because we act with honesty and justice. It's important that we need to be careful just in case any demons might sneak into our group. We better all have something that we can contact with each other in time."
Sending messages between Dharmakaya was fast. For example, Mister Luda could hide information in sword light and cast it faraway but still it was not timely enough. Therefore he gave this suggestion.
Meng Qi smiled and looked around, "No need to bother. If you trust me, just lend me one thing and then I can send you all messages if there is any. You can contact each other through me."
This method was similar to catching Duan Rui from a long distance and get in touch with Gao Lan through This Life Mirror.
Yun He pondered and then smiled, "Great! Good Idea."
Mister Luda and Su Wuming did not think much and agreed. He Qi agreed as well. Gao Teng asked for Gao Lan's advice and then agreed.
The Jade Pendant and dagger were handed to Meng Qi from everyone. His eyes then changed color to one black and one white. Deep inside a glaze lamp appeared and shone in black and white light.
…
At Jiang Dong,
Wang Siyuan sat in ancestral room and felt a sudden jolt. He sacrificed Peerless Ancient Book with his eyes looking crazy:
"Nice. He really got rid of Ananda!"
The Peerless Ancient Book dropped down black and white light spot, which formed congenital nosy map and covered on Wang Siyuan's body.
Clicking sounds rang up continuously and Wang Siyuan spouted out blood. His pale face seemed to be relieved now as if he just got rid of some shackles.
The Devil Buddha helped Wang Family through the big disaster but also secretly manipulate Wang Family to be their subsidiaries.
Now the Devil Buddha's soul had gone and could not escape seal temporarily. Wang Siyuan grasped this chance to get rid of the shackles and free himself!
"Now I can focus on achieving Dharmakaya…" Wang Siyuan exclaimed happily. "But the Great Trial is getting close now and many might people might have already started to use their own connections with Sects and Families to arrange things."


I care not of my past and neither of my future.
Conquering all heroes and foes while looking with disdain at the horrors of the Samsara, I yearn only for a life of thrilling wonders!
History will repeat itself after many ages as the menace of the Great Calamity rises once more.
Which will rise with triumph in the face of adversity; the Golden Form of the Great Buddha or the invincible Heavenly Taoist Form?
Which will seize all glory amidst all struggles; The Buddha's Palms or the  Seven Strokes of Heaven's Interception?
From the sanctum of the Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi's adventures and struggles through the Samsara begin as we follow his climb to claim the title of "the Unrivaled and the Invincible One"!


This time, Zhao Yu had guessed correctly! The other party's destination was indeed Gao Lanqi in Meng Xiang Province. The Buick business car turned in the direction of Gao Lanqi right after crossing the desert. What was even more unbelievable was that when approaching the city, the car began to turn west again. Zhao Yu was shocked when he checked his GPS. It can't be… he thought.
His GPS showed one location – Ziliu Town!
My goodness, how could this be? Zhao Yu was shocked and found this hard to believe. Why did this particular year's Rural Cooperatives Murder Case happen in this small town? Why did the mystery person arrange to meet Jiang Ke here?
By now, Zhao Yu was no stranger to coincidences. The mystery person and the Rural Cooperatives Murder Case were undoubtedly related. This person was either an insider, an accomplice, or even the culprit!
Shoot… Zhao Yu's first thought was that there was no way the mystery guy could be the wanted criminal Yang Zehu, right? If that was true, then wouldn't this case be ridiculous? Who would have thought that the murderer would have hidden near the crime scene the whole time? In plain sight! Where was the logic in this? 
After the car turned onto Ziliu Town's small road, it began to slow down. It was well into the wee hours of the morning and there weren't any other cars in sight. Since the car was slowing down, it could only mean that the destination was near!
As expected, the car passed through the town center and turned onto an even narrower road. Zhao Yu did not want to miss out on any details so he quickly took out the Invisible Fluoroscopic Device. The device could see through eye masks and even a car. He could see the environment without having to move a muscle.
Unfortunately, as it was pitch black outside the car, Zhao Yu was unable to see any light and could only see basic details such as the remnants of a destroyed bungalow, alleys stacked with rubbish, and houses covered in residual snow. 
Since the reformation and opening of Gao Lanqi and the China borders, the city had become one of the largest cities in Meng Xiang Province due to decent city infrastructure. Still, as the province was scarcely populated and located far away, no matter how good the infrastructure was it would never reach the same level as other metropolises.
The difference was obvious, especially in rural towns. Ziliu Town, while near Gao Lanqi, seemed like a town stuck in the 1980s. There hadn't been much progress since the first murder case.
The winters here were harsh and pure white snow could be seen everywhere outside. A thick mist covered the car windows. If the car warmer was off, someone could probably create visible steam from anger alone.
As it was cold out and still early, there was not a single human on the street. In his heart, Zhao Yu was amazed that this place served as such a great hideout for a wanted criminal. In such a scarcely populated area, minimal monitoring and only having a few accomplices would greatly reduce the risk of being exposed. 
The car headed straight along the small road for about one kilometer before turning right. The surroundings became even more dilapidated, with rundown barns on both sides. There were no longer any animals inside them, and some were even on the brink of collapsing. 
After another two to three minutes, the car came to a stop in front of what seemed like a huge factory door. Buzzcut and Zhu Sunfeng left the car and opened the padlock on the door with their keys. Through the Invisible Fluoroscopic Device, Zhao Yu could see both of them shivering. It must really be bone-chillingly cold weather outside.
As the metal door opened, two distinct sounds could be heard in the courtyard. This was probably a cattle farm! This was truly eye-opening. Who would have thought that such a great, mysterious man would be hiding out in a place like this? In that instant, Zhao Yu felt a rare sense of accomplishment. If it wasn't for his unconventional plan and white lies, he would not have been able to sniff out this mystery man. Thinking about this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel more excited about finding out the mystery man's identity.
They drove into the courtyard and Buzzcut locked the door behind them before driving further in. Zhao Yu took another look through the Invisible Fluoroscopic Device and confirmed his cattle farm hypothesis. Not only could he see through the walls to see the cows in the barns, but he could also identify that these were female cows due to the spots on them. This was a dairy farm! Interesting…
The car drove into the innermost part of the courtyard where there was a smaller space with a garage. The doors to the garage were already open so Buzzcut drove straight in. "Alright!" said the goateed Zhu Sunfeng as he stretched. "Mr. Jiang, wake up! We've arrived!" he shouted at Zhao Yu, who was feigning taking a nap.
"Oh…" Zhao Yu yawned lazily, taking on the appearance of Jiang Ke before taking off the mask.
"Come on, let's get out of the car!" Zhu Sunfeng said, pistol in hand as he stepped out. "I guess our boss already knew Mr. Jiang was coming and prepared supper for us! I'm famished…"
Woof, woof! The garage and barn were directly linked. A big yellow dog that was tied to the door of the barn started barked immediately when it saw people. "Shoo, shoo, shooooooo…" Zhu Sunfeng charged towards the dog, waving his hands. However, the dog did not back down and continued its incessant barking. 
"What a b*tch!" Zhu Sunfeng pointed his pistol at the dog. "Bark again and I'll shoot you!" As he was talking, Buzzcut had already walked towards the dog. When the dog saw Buzzcut he immediately stopped barking, turned around, and laid down.
"Lucky f*cker!" Zhu Sunfeng said with a shrug. Zhao Yu had left the car by now. Although they were in a garage, he could still feel the chill from the frigid wind. He couldn't help but shiver. "This way!" Zhu Sunfeng said, signaling towards him. "It's warmer inside…"
Zhao Yu followed the two inside the barn. Just as Zhu Sunfeng said, the barn was indeed much warmer thanks to a heater that had been installed. However, the smell of fresh manure was unbearable and it burned his nose.
However, Zhao Yu's curiosity was stronger than the smell. There was no way the mystery man would have chosen to meet Jiang Ke inside the barn. There was definitely something fishy about this.
Right on cue, Zhao Yu witnessed something strange. Buzzcut had used a key to open the fence near the door and made a series of hand signals. A huge cow obediently walked out. "Move, move!" Zhu Sunfeng motioned him inside the barn. "Mr. Jiang, this way please." 
At this point, using the detector in his mind, Zhao Yu discovered there were alarms and security cameras installed beyond the fence's walls. These devices had been shut down.
When Zhu Sunfeng walked up towards the wall, it opened inwards, revealing a secret passage.


A little ruffian who fought recklessly without any morals and bottomline accidentally time-traveled to parallel space and became a Key Case Investigation Team agent. The huge change in identity had him creating chaos in the police station. However, a strange miracle system helped him repeatedly solve mysterious cases, turning him into an impudent ruffian detective!

My Mini Quidditch Pitch was well received by Flitwick. All the figures moved just like their counter parts in the game and one could replay the game on them. Though he, like myself, found it a shame that I could not charm the balls. If I could then it would be an exact replica of the game. Flitwick tells me that for this impressive display of charms work I should be in a higher grade for charms.

I got Ron with a prank that I personally thought was a great punishment for him. His hair became blonde like Malfoys and he could only speak in that snobby arrogant 'I'm better than you' tone that Malfoy has.

That is not to say I forgot my appointment with the Weasley's on Tuesday. Actually, we got each other with pranks that day. The twins prank made me speak in a little girls voice, it was... embarrassing to say the least.

The Twins were bald and had to walk around in Buddhist Monks robes and said "amitabha" at the end of each sentence thus throwing off their twin speak. The Patil twins found this more amusing than others. It was hilarious seeing Fred and George look like freckled eggs.

Come Thanksgiving myself and the twins paired up for a prank. When the feast began the turkeys got up and went to war against each other using the food on the tables as weapons. They used the cornucopia as horns, corn cobs as lances, we enchanted the mashed potatoes so that when it was thrown by the turkeys it would make a large splatter. Peas were launched through straws like spitballs.

By the time the feast ended everyone was covered in some form of food or another. Except the staff, or rather most of the staff. Hagrid, the great big target he is, was pelted and Argus looked to be made of food by the end of the war. I felt pity on Argus but only because I liked Mrs. Norris.

The funny thing is, since almost all my pranks were centered around the twins, they all thought that the twins were solely responsible. So I got off without any punishments! Oh it was a wonderful holiday.

Finally December rolled around. Slytherin had a match against Ravenclaw. We won 270-50. Me and Theo had practiced with one another til we were practically in sync through the match thus we were able to score many goals before Terrance caught the snitch. Marcus and the two beaters cut down on the cheating, or rather they worked harder to not get caught cheating.

As for the Holidays, myself and Harry were going home. Uncle Snape and Aunt Irma said they would come and visit on Christmas. We all spoke with our friends before leaving. Ron and the twins were staying behind but everyone else was going home for the break.

I got Penelope to enlarge our compartment so that me, harry, and our friends could all sit in the same space on the ride over. We promised to send each other a gift for the holidays, or rather myself and Harry promise to send something to each of them at least. I might need to enlist some other owls to help. I don't want Hedwig or Athena to fly themselves ragged.

Arriving at the station I see my mother standing there waiting for us. All three of us share a hug. We also meet Hermoine's Parents, Daphne's Parents, Tracey's Parents and Blaise mother. We weren't introduced to Theo's family though since his father was one of those Death Eaters that got off using the Imperius defense.

Finally back at the manor mother turns and looks at Harry. "Now Harry" He looks at her face "I know you are still worried about the Dursley's and think you may be sent back with them" Harry shudders a bit and looks away feeling slightly guilty "But I am going to tell you that there are two reasons why you are never going back to those people again"

"i-I'm not?" Harry stammers

"Yes Harry. One of the reasons is" And she glances to me at this briefly "Someone made anonymous reports and all of the Dursleys, even someone named Marge, were arrested for various crimes. Vernon and Marge are in prison, your cousin Dudley and a boy named Piers were sent to St. Brutus Home for Criminally Insane Boys, and your Aunt was found guilty of treason along with a list of other crimes."

Harry's mouth opens and closes multiple times but he can't seem to find the words to say. I find it ironic in a way that Dudley got sent to St. Brutus as they were always telling the neighborhood that is where Harry was going to end up.

"And Lastly, because of overwhelming evidence against the Dursleys, certain actions went through without a hitch. So, Harry, you are legally my son now. The adoption papers went through" Mom has a gentle smile on her face

Harry tears up and launches himself at my mother "Mom" He cries out as he holds her while crying

"Yes, Harry, mother's got you" He says while hugging him back. I also walk over and join in the hug. It was a nice moment if only someone were to take a picture of it, what I didn't know is Crocker, one of our house elves, DID take a picture of this. That night we all celebrating by going out to eat.

Christmas was finally here. Harry seemed stunned by the amount of gifts he was given.

I got some books from the book worm and some chocolate frogs. Tonks sent me a book about Metamorphamagus's, she is definitely warming up to me. Blaise sent me a book on wizarding Unsolved Crimes, a book the ministry has banned. Theo, through use of whiskey and veritaserum, managed to talk names of some of the Death Eaters out of his father and he sent me the list so I know who to be careful of. Daphne sent me some rare parts of beast such as Nundu fur, for Envy to eat obviously. Tracey sent me wand polish and a broom servicing kit. I can't say for sure but I think she sent those as a joke. She does have a dirty mind.

The twins sent me some of their prototype candies. Ron sent me some regular wizard candy. Neville sent me an old book on spell crafting that he found in his families library. Ashton, Ashley, and Marcus gifted me all the latest comics that came out while I was at Hogwarts, though I knew there were some OTHER gifts waiting for me at a certain spot. Susan Bones sent me a book a self updating book on wizarding laws she got from her aunt.

 Flitwick even sent me some records of his time in the Championship Dueling Tournaments. I even got a gift from Ragnok. It was a lovely goblin made dagger. Though it was shocking to receive a gift from King Jareth. He sent me a crystal ball that could replay the dreams of the holder.

I sent Hermoine instructions on one of my personal spells called Occulus Retenta which gave the caster a faster reading speed and higher retention for half an hour. For Tonks I sent her flowers that would morph between various varieties of flowers and colors. To Blaise I sent some Murder Mystery books, he rather likes those types. Theo I sent him some muggle comics, he showed interest in them when he saw me reading them. I sent Daphne and Tracy more muggle make up since they really liked the last bit I got them.

I sent the twins a book on potion making, this should help them make their little candies and what not. To Ron I sent an actual Wizard's Chess game. Ashton, Asley, and Marcus received wizarding candy. To Ragnok I sent books on Muggle Martial Arts. And though I didn't expect a gift from him I also sent Jareth something, I mean it only seems right to send the King something when you have actually met them. I sent him a bottle of  Delacour's Wine from France.

Harry got some books from Hermoine, some prank items from the twins. Candy from my Slytherin friends, Ron, Susan, and Tonks. He got a sweater from Molly Weasley for some reason. Ashton, Ashley, and Marcus sent him some more comics and some videos on some of our Martial Arts Classes. Though he did get a silvery cloak from someone who claims it belonged to James Potter and Harry should use it well.

Turns out the cloak was an Invisibility cloak. Though I am curious as to why James let someone borrow it and hold it after his death. Also that use it well statement seems to be telling Harry to use the cloak for something but as for what I do not know yet.

Mom gave us brand new computers. I gave Harry some of my Spell Crafting research along with some spells I have made, made and then had to find a way for other people to use like the Occulus Retenta spell I gave Hermoine. I also gave mom a goblin made necklace I had ordered from Ragnok. Harry gave mom some Witch Beauty Items. He also gave me some sketches he made, Harry is surprisingly good at drawing. One sketch showed me dressed up as Loki, I got a chuckle out of that, and another sketch with me as Iron Fist fighting a Troll.

It wasn't until later than Snape and Aunt Irma arrived. Snape gave me all three of us a box of his personal crafted potions, for mom he tested to make sure the potions would work on squibs. Aunt Irma gave me and Harry some of her potion research when she was in Hogwarts. She gifts mom a potion that would remove impurites from her skin, basically a beautification potion.

Me and Harry both got Snape some rare potion ingredients. Mom gave Snape a chemistry set, she thought it was funny. All three of us gave aunt Irma some books. Harry got some from Florish and Blotts, I gifted her a few copies from Merlins Library, and mom gave her some muggle novels.

At dinner I invited our four house elves to eat with us. They were in tears but refused to eat at the table. Instead they stood off to the side eating. Rose out did herself on the dinner. She was a fantastic cook.

I excused myself to go to the bathroom after dinner then went to the usual place where I dug my OTHER gifts out of a hidden alcove in the Manors Wall, the wall surrounding the manor not the house wall. One gift was a Barrett 90 Bolt-Action Bullpup Anti-Material Rifle. There was also two 
Beretta M9 Semi-Automatic Service Pistol's. Lastly was an air powered dart pistol with scope. The last one was custom made. Of course there was ammo for each one. There was also a note.

[Just because you got voodoo and whodoo doesn't mean you can't defend yourself like the rest of us mortals.

With love,
Luthor, Deathstroke, and Talia.]

I chuckle and I send the gifts into my trunk into one of the hidden compartments, I carry the trunk every where around my neck.

The next few hours we spent together as a family. We introduced Snape and Irma to some muggle Christmas movies like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Miracle on 34th Street, and A Christmas Story. Uncle Snape seemed to like A Christmas Story best and Aunt Irma loved Miracle on 34th Street. Harry's favorite was Rudolph as he had heard Dudley watching it on the telly at the Dursleys but never got to watch it himself. It is great that some concerned citizens helped bring their crimes to light isn't it?

Alexander Prince is known as many things. Genius, Prodigy, Fighter, Demon and now one more is added to that list, Wizard. With friends in High Places and more in low how will the Uncrowned Prince change the wizarding world and are they ready? Also why is his new Half Brother so famous in this world?

The writing gets better at chapter 10.

[I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER]

Nor do I own the picture. Here is a link to the source that I found the image on all credit to the artist who made it none to me. Alexanders Hair is supposed to be black but I can't find a black haired Vergil anywhere and I can't draw or edit to save my life so yea...
