Chapter 21 An Old Past And A New Future

...

As Josief was tearing up on the cold snowy ground in front of Vanessa.

She started to close the distance between them and whispered to Josief ear. 

"I and you are different people, we are like heaven and the earth, as such i hope you can understand that i need a better man. Don't worry you know him very much!" she smiles and turns around as an another boy comes.

"Hey Josief!" 

Josief looks up and sent a glance at the boy beside her.

It was his best friend, Dante Philips.

Josief was in daze from the situation, while as Dante couldn't contain his laughing from Josief dumbfounded reaction. He quickly started to ridicule him, humiliate him, but Josief did nothing to him and only just gritted his teeth in anger and shame. 

He knew the consequences of what would happen to him and his family if he did something to him cause now he was together Vanessa he had power and status, Dante and Vanessa also knew. Thats the reason Dante who had seen and feared Josief strength in the underground was no longer afraid of him. How could a single person survive against a strong super force as the Danna family. 

It could be said in this situation, that he had the backing of the Danna family and was using it to bully at Josief, a lone person, a nobody. 

"Ah! This feeling! To have the power to crush and destroy someone life. The power to trample on the weak is such an exhilarating feeling. Why have you never used this power Josief, for yourself? Even so this is goodbye for our friendship, Josief! From now you are only a bystander in my rise of power." Dante shouted and they walked out.

Outside there was a prestigious luxury sport car, which picked them both and left as they both were nowhere to be seen after.

While as Josief quickly rose up and brushed off the snow on him and fixed himself until he was finally good. He then turned to look at the school which was nearly closing as the front gate was almost shut.

He knew that the Danna family probably were close by and had their guards close to protect Vanessa, and maybe even Dante.

How he knew this, was from his previous life. In a close similar scenario, he found his sister Ruth dead, having tried to save one of the young mistresses around the time during the apocalyptic event. She saved them but was abandoned after saving them and was left to die alone. After some time we found that they most likely, had multiple of guards to protect and rescue them.

Now this is Dante and Vanessa we are talking about. Both of them scoring high results in academics, so they obviously would be vigilant against me, with my fighting skills shown at the arena and would have brought some guards on standby. 

"Even if i am bit stronger i am not omnipotent, even with my future knowledge i am not omniscient! I don't have the strongest body, so they probably have a good number of guards from the Danna family, whom that could easily take me down!"

Josief thought that to save his family from harm while not making his life more troublesome, he came with the plan to look pathetic in front of them both out and in school to give them the feeling of dominance and triumph for these next days, while also making a more probable chance for "that" scene to happen. 

Josief already had thought of this plan all yesterday. "Now hopefully with this act, it should keep my family safe for some time, which i could use to raise my cultivation and get stronger!" Josief looked at the ground which he had kneeled down on.

He suddenly started to reminiscence his previous life experience with Vanessa. All their happy times together. His first date with her, her smile, their first kiss, their deep love, and their first "I love you" scene. All of these memories started to refresh again in Josiefs mind. 

After some quick seconds, Josief sighed and looked up, as the snow fell down from the cloudy dark sky, he could not help but want to make a poem of these old memories from his previous life.

"Frosty winds howl through the night

As winter's chill takes flight

Two former lovers once so bright

Now left to face the cold and dark

Dull and dim a sea of tears

Their laughter now but a distant memory

As winter's chill brings only fears."

"We will no longer have any connections with each other, in this lifetime Vanessa." Josief whispered to the sky and walked out to meet Maria, who was waiting outside. 

In the luxury sport car, Dante and Vanessa were sitting quiet while the tension was high. Their body were still and elegant but both their expression showed the complete opposite. 

Both their brows frowned with hints of anger and dissatisfaction across their face.

"I thought you said that he would act violent and get wild, Vanessa!" Dante upsettingly roared out in displeased voice. 

"Calm down, Dante! It seems that he was more capable of controlling himself than we thought, but dont worry. I have a plan on how to drag him down to mud." Vanessa replied with a calm and elegant tone. 

"Oh! What do you plan to do?" Dante replied with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Vanessa smiled from how she caught Dante attention, but instead of answering she hushed him and continued "Cant say! Its a surprise, but I can confirm thou, that if this does not drag him down to mud, nothing will!" replied in a confident voice. 

Dante could not help but get more curious and worked up from her response. "Oh! You little vixen, getting me all curious and interested but leaving no information! You are so bad! I think i need to teach you some manner." he replied with a smirk and wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to his embrace. 

"Oh! Hehehe! Then shouldn't you came and teach me a lesson!" Vanessa replied with a seductive tone and wrapped her arms around his shoulder to his back head.

They both giggled and started to engage in a deep kiss with their tongues fighting for dominance against the other person.
