"Why did you send Tan Shun to execute our plan?" Mu Chen blurted out. His eyes were burning with anger as he gazed sternly at the Ruo siblings who he took as allies.
"He insisted that he could carry out the task effortlessly." Ruo Nuo, the eldest of the Ruo siblings bowed his head to meet Mu Chen's gaze.
Mu Chen's plan was to eliminate Xander so that he could be the chosen one. Mu Chen wanted to be have the seven demon spirits to himself. Alexander was inferior to him. He's not worthy to be called the chosen one.
Mu Chen supposed to be the Demons chosen one but since Alexander Li showed up, his plans were ruined. He lost his position, he knew from the start that Alexander would be obstacle to all his plans ever since Master Wang Shu brought him to the Demons Clan.

"Mu Chen, this is Alexander Li. He would be your partner in the swordfight for now." Master Wang Shu introduce Alexander to Mu Chen who raised a brow on hearing the name of his new partner.
"I already have a partner and I don't need him. He doesn't even know anything about a sword. He also can't hold a sword." Mu Chen complained bitterly. He was directly mocking Alexander.
"I won't hesitate to cut your ass off. I don't mind going against my partner." Alexander threw a great comeback making Mu Chen to gritt his teeth in anger.
Master Wang Shu knew Mu Chen was good at blabbing but he also possess some potential skills.
"Mu Chen that's enough,you really don't know where he came from and the kind of skills he can possess." Master Wang Shu tried to put an end to the both men's dispute but hit was of no use.
"I want us to both compete with each other. I challenge you to duel." Mu Chen challenge as he shrugged his shoulders with so much hatred in his eyes.
" That's fine by me." Alexander smirked. This was his first day at the Demons Clan and this man wanted to welcome him the hard way but he won't go easy on him.
Master Wang Shu was uneasy, Alexander demons hasn't been de yet. He couldn't help but agree to the duel. He instructed the servants to give them the necessary weapons, he made sure they both had matched weapons and armor they'd need for the duel.
They were both ready for the duel. Master Wang Shu announced to other higher authorities of the Demons Clan about the duel and they came out to watch including mere demons.
Mu Chen and Alexander were made to carry out their combat at the center of the field.
Mu Chen wore his complete armor and swung his sword with pride. On the other hand Alexander already pulled off his armor,he complained he wasn't comfortable with it. He just held his sword tight.
"How can you defeat me when you don't have an armor to defend yourself from my attack." Mu Chen laughed out so loud. Alexander could only stare. An empty drum surely makes the loudest noise.
At the last drop of the the white quartz sand from the hour glass,the duel begun and Mu Chen was the first to attack.
Alexander dodged all My Chen's attack. Mu Chen only groaned I'm frustration. He was no match for this Alexander of a man. All his attempt was failed. He left not even a single scratch on Alexander's body.
"It's my turn now to play, pretty boy." Alexander chuckled.
Mu Chen was startled by his word. Alexander swung his own word severally. Mu Chen tried to dodge every bit of his attempt but he fait woefully.
Alexander possessed almost all the skills that Mu Chen has been dying to learn. Mu Chen ended up with a broken bone. His elbow was swollen.
"Is that all you can do?" Mu Chen stood up from the ground, maintaining his balance. He threw his sword away as he wanted a fistfight.
"Are you kidding me?" Alexander smiled evilly. He threw his sword also. This time around he was the one to make the first attempt. Since Alexander couldn't control his demons, his demons took the opportunity to rise and he gave Mu Chen the beating of his life.
Mu Chen became really unconscious because what the crowd could only hear was the sound of breaking bones.
Master Wang Shu stopped the duel. Mu Chen was rushed to receive treatments.
Alexander gained favor from the highest demon itself. The Demons Clan had its own ruler and it's ruler was also a demon.
Since that time Alexander Li became the chosen one because the skills he possessed was unimaginable. Far from what they all had seen.
Whenever the Demons emerge in a war with other colonies, Alexander was always the one to stand for them and he always came back with victory. Without an armor or a weapon he killed more than hundreds of soldiers.

"I just tried to play along with him,if not I would have been a dead meet by now " Mu Chen told the three Ruo siblings.
"He's clearly the Emperor of the dark." The youngest of the Ruo siblings said.
"I suppose to be the Emperor of the dark. I want to take back everything he took from me. I want to have everything he has." Mu Chen claimed.
"What do you want us to do now, master?" Ruo Nuo inquired.
" For now keep a close watch on Alexander Li. He's still mourning over his dead wife." Mu Chen didn't seem to understand what Alexander was going through. Hell No! Alexander wasn't mourning over Anna Lu's death but he was thinking of a perfect time to pounce on the murderers. He can possibly eliminate Mu Chen with his bare hands.
"How can a man in his right senses mourn over a woman that's long dead. Over three decades ago." The second of the Ruo siblings blurted out.
" That's right. Alexander isn't in his right senses and I have to defeat him before he regain his senses." Mu Chen smiled wickedly.
"Xander, why did you leave me? I thought you said you loved me? Why I'm I seeing so much darkness? " Anna Lu sat on her matrimonial bed she had with Xander back then in their house.
She was sobbing, the large volume of her tears falling steadily. Anna Lu used her hands to cover face in pain and agony.
"Anna?!" He called her name, he felt his throat closing up. "I thought you were dead..."
Anna removed her hands from her face and to Xander's surprise,her tears were in form of blood. She lifted her hands up and a slap landed on Alexander's face.
"Dead? I would be alive if not for you!" She spoke bitterly. Xander didn't know what to feel anymore. He felt guilty all of a sudden.
It was actually his fault why Anna died. She has been gone for three decades now and she didn't show herself to him but what changed now?
With an heavy heart, Xander stretched his hand, touching the face of his deceased wife. Her face was as cold as ice. Her hair was stiff, it looked unhealthy and her forehead was messed up. He could vividly see the three holes from the bullets in which the conjoined men shot her.
"I'm trying to make you rest in peace Anna." Xander felt helpless not knowing what to say.
"By vengeance? Revenge? Do you think I can be able to rest in peace by that?" Anna voice easily scared the living hell out of him. Why was he behaving like that all of a sudden? She had a sharp tongue.
"Yes, that's all I could think of now. You don't know how it feels to stay alone here, especially without you around." Xander laid on her stiff and cold thigh. The coldness wasn't affecting him at all.
"Then come with me to the afterlife! We can live like the way we used to three decades ago." Anna used her thumb to rub his pale pink lips.
Afterlife?
She wants him to die and join her raise ghosties as children. Absolutely not! Although he still loves her and his love for her can't fade away that easily but he can't actually join her in the afterlife not when his life is already going well at least.
He could feel the emptiness in him. He never knew what he could do without Anna until the Demons Clan showed up at his door step.
"Anna, I can't join you at the afterlife." He spoke calmly not wanting to make her angry.
"I know that's what you're gonna say. Is this how you want to make me rest in peace? How can you avenge for my death?" Anna yelled more blood began to flow down her cheeks.
"Shhhh baby. Don't cry." Xander used his index fingers to cross he pale cold lips. He knew her tears was now in form of blood. "I will never forget you. My love for you hasn't die yet and it will never." He assured her. He then sat still.
"Alexander, my husband. I missed you so much. I don't want anyone else to share your love with me." Anna continued sobbing.
" The love I have for you can't be shared." Xander reassured her.
" That's the more reason I came back to this world." Anna simply said without moving from her spot.
He didn't understand what she meant by that. He really didn't believe in reincarnation. It was all a fantasy to him.
"What do you mean you came back to this world?" He asked with a serious expression.
" Alexander, I have been reborn." Anna could figure out the confused expression that was plastered on his face. She didn't want to explain any further because he would be utterly confused.
Xander tried so hard in other for him to digest what she had just said. His thought was cut off by her words.
"I give you just a month to find my reincarnated self unless I would never rest in peace." Anna threatened but it wasn't an empty threat at all.
How was he going to find her reincarnated self in a span of just one month when there are billions of people in the country.
"You gotta be kidding me." Xander said with a blank face. He didn't know how to feel anymore. This version of his deceased wife was so demanding.
"I don't care about how you'll b able to find her. But once you do, you've already avenged my death in that aspect. Loving her will be equally loving me because she's is me and I am her." Anna explained.
"I don't think I'll be able to find love in anyone." Xander blurted. He remembered Master Wang Shu's saying as Love is the root of all weakness.
" She's not just anyone,she's me. If you can't love her then just find her and be with her. It's the same thing as being with me. I really love you Alexander, that's why I came back again." Anna started sobbing but this time her eyes were bringing out genuine tears.
"How will I be able to find her?" He was now determined to find his reincarnated wife at all cost if it would make her rest in peace.
"She exactly like me. That's the only hint I can give you for now. I'll always be with you and I'll guide you with the search." She tried placing her cold lips on Xander's but she resisted.
Even if Alexander finds the reincarnated Anna he won't be able to forgive the Angelic Beings for killing his precious wife. He now had a chance of plan.
His plan was to go I'm search for the reincarnated Anna the. he can then focus on eliminating the Angelic Beings one after the other.
"Don't leave me again Alexander. I'll always love you and be with you." Alexander could here the pain in her voice. Suddenly she started fading away.
Xander quickly hugged her but instead of hugging her he ended up embracing his own self.
"ANNA!!"
