Laws Of Power Never Outshine The Master Novels & Stories

Miller was standing rooted to the spot like he was frozen still, his head bowed as he gripped his spear and muttered, "How could this be? How could my energy disappear just like that? This is impossible! Impossible!" The next second, Wilbur appeared in front of Miller, pointing the thunder cleaver at him. "The power of light is a middle-dimensional law. You're still considered weak in the face of absolute light." "I can't believe I lost." "Do you admit defeat?"

he eyed me suspiciously. “No, I’m not drunk,” I rolled my eyes and gripped the edge of the desk to keep my body from rocking. “I’m just trying to prove a point. None of them, not even Caleb actually know anything about the balance of power between us.” “It’s not about what we do behind closed doors,” he frowned at me, “It’s about who they perceive to be the stronger of the two of us.”

"I do not intend to tell everything as I do not know it all, but a couple of the other things are that it will only answer to its rightful owner. It was given to me by Revenge, so it is mine. Even for you it would refuse to kill unless it was using you to enforce a contract. And if I concentrate hard enough, for long enough, I can call it to my hand. Other than that, what I know of its properties is negligible. You have already seen the slight shimmer around it that makes it very visible even in daylight.

I could tell that he was going to say something extremely stupid, so I tensed. "You'll fit in with the other incompetent people we are...sharing housing with." I punched his and glared at him. If this guy was close to the Master, he was going to get us in trouble. He passed me a dirty look before averting his gaze to the fire. "Your 'Master', as you call him, has his reasons for the people he chooses. Just as he has his reasons for having you. I've known him practically my entire life. Odd man, but gets his results." I suppose he had a point. Still annoying none the less. No one would understand the dark and twisted ways of life like we did. Our lives where filled with dark irony, something

Effortless. “Interesting.” Every executive at the table went still. Emma slowly lifted her gaze toward the dark screen. The voice continued. “Power without intelligence never lasts. Most people mistake power for intelligence.” A pause. “You don’t.” And suddenly— everyone in the room understood exactly why Alexander Whitmore never needed to raise his voice to control one.

Jonah held his breath, marvelling yet again at how quickly the Master could go from joking and jovial to chilling and terrifying. It still wasn’t clear how the Master really felt about that bitch Iris running away, it still wasn’t obvious which face being shown was his real one – and then it came to Jonah in a blinding flash that neither was true in this moment, none of his feelings or faces were true, ever. The real Gideon was a mystery and always had been; his strength came from keeping his followers off-balance and guessing. He gained power through the weakness of others, he used mind games and nothing more.

Power was a delicate thing. Most men thought it came from brute strength, from fear, from making others submit through sheer force. But true power wasn’t about that. It was about control—control of oneself, control of others, control of the game. And I had always been a master of the game. I had always believed that breaking someone was an art. There were two types of men in this world—those who broke under force and those who craved to be broken. Eli was the latter.

He immediately released a torrent of power that formed a vast killing intent, howling and rampaging over Lawrence. Ashton's expression shifted, showing his concern. He was worried that Lawrence's health wouldn't hold out. "You'd better pay attention—power is determined by mastery!" Lawrence ascended as though taking flight like an eagle, his clothes flapping in the wind. He then raised his hand, spread his fingers, and closed his fist, as if he were seizing the world itself.

When we got to the room, all I wanted to do was lay down. 'You will obey me when I tell you something. You are my pet; I am your master. Do you understand me? ' I did not want to speak. I did not want to hear his words; to accept my fate. Sebastian was right. I was to be enslaved. "Yes Kilian, I understand..."

× Trix × “You talk too much,” I say, my voice low and calm, though every muscle in my body is strung tight. Salcom stops. “Oh? Did I hit a nerve? Don’t like being reminded of how small you really are?” He leans forward, resting his hands on his knees like he’s speaking to a child. “Here’s the thing, Trix. Power isn’t about who has the best speeches, or who commands the most respect. Power is about winning . It’s about crushing your enemies so thoroughly that they’ll never dare to challenge you again.”
