Adrian Snow was gone.Not imprisoned, completely gone. The news didn't take long to spread across all countries. Adrian Snow was finally eliminated. Justice was served.Jessica was imprisoned. She couldn't escape like she thought she would. She was too heartbroken to even move.“I warned him. I warned him." She kept telling herself. Jasper asked that Jessica be sent back to Silverlake to serve her punishment in prison. And with his fall, everything else followed. The warehouse Jasper had shown Adrian that he destroyed was completely fake. Nothing was destroyed, except that the robots were switched off so they couldn't destroy anything in the city. Adrian's plan was to use the robots to distract Jasper. While the robots destroy the city, Jasper and his men would be forced to leave him and save the country. But Jasper had seen that coming. With the help of some of his lab doctors that were tired of working without much pay, the robots were turned off. And in that lab, Jasper and

Tiger and the others rushed out when they saw some people in the shadows with guns pointed at Sophia.Dirty game.Within seconds, Tiger dove Sophia pushing her to the ground. The gunshot was so loud, Jasper froze and turned.He saw Sophia on the ground, he wasn't about to comprehend what just happened before Adrian punched him from behind. Chaos erupted.Jessica stepped back, watching with narrowed eyes. If Adrian wins, which she prays for, she'll be so happy. But if Jasper wins, she'll run away quickly“Stay down." Tiger ordered Sophia as he stood to his feet. Jackson and Bai Zhe along with few other team members fought along with Jasper. Sophia rolled to the other end of the room and remained on the ground, not daring to stand up. Her eyes never left Adrian and Jasper.Adrian wasn’t just dangerous, he was a deliberate destruction. Adrian blocked Jasper’s strike and leaned in slightly, “You’re holding back.”Jasper’s eyes turned colder, “I’m ending you.”Adrian laughed, “You’ve

The day of the meeting came quicker than anyone expected. Everyone feared for what was going to happen, everyone except Jasper. He was more eager to meet with Adrian. “Only one host survives? Let's see who survives” he whispered to himself.The industrial zone was empty and quiet. Wind moved through broken structures. Metal creaked faintly like it knew something was going to happen here. Jasper stood at the center waiting. He was alone. Bai Zhe and the other team members positioned in their hideout. Weapons were ready, eyes watching. Just as Jasper was about to move even closer, he heard a call that caused him to freeze. His entire body run cold. “Jasper!" It was Sophia. His eyes widened in shock as he turned to meet her gaze.“What the hell are you doing here?!" He roared. “I had to come. I cannot let you use yourself as bait while I sit home and watch" Jasper's jaws clenched. He tried to push her away but he was too late. Adrian came out of the shadows “Awwwn, lovebird

The news caused the entire house to be silent No one spoke. Everyone mourned the death of Mark. Jasper sworn in his heart to end Adrian even if it meant dying with him. Tiger was silent and still. The pain piercing into his heart. Bai Zhe came moments later, he saw Jasper and his heart broke to pieces. He walked over to the man and held his shoulder, “This is all my fault." " That's not true.” Bai Zhe immediately frowned. " I was too late.” Jasper swallowed, " I should have been there. I should have been the one. It was my fight after all.”" And we are all willing to die for you, Boss.” Tiger interrupted. Jasper’s eyes watered. " Adrian messed with the wrong team.” Jackson whispered. " This time… there is no turning back." Jasper looked back at Jackson, “Can you trace him?" “Even if it takes me all night, I will." “I'll stay up with him." Bai Zhe added. “And I'll watch and patrol the compound." Tiger also spoke. Jasper couldn't be more grateful for the kind of friends h

Jasper called instantly for an emergency meeting. It was 2 a.m. but everyone was vigilant. The look on Jasper's face was gloomy. The first thing he said when everyone took their positions in their seats was,“No fear." Gazes at him, he turned to look everyone in the eyes, “No fear. He feeds from our fear." They didn't understand everything but they understood one thing. When dealing with Adrian Snow, show no fear. In the operation room covered in screens, data streamed endlessly. Location, surveillance feeds, movement logs… Adrian wasn't the only one who could monitor their movement without them knowing. He could too. The system’s words echoed in his mind again, “Only one host remains." This was it. It was either him or Adrian. He had a brief yet important meeting with them before he finally dismissed them. Everyone left with a new fire, all except Jackson. He remained with Jasper as he watched the feeds. " Boss” Jackson called as he looked at the screen before him. Jasper

It was late. Sophia was home. So was Jasper but he refused to step out of his room. She was stubborn. He allowed her to be. He had assigned a hundred and twenty guards to follow her in the shadows. He doesn't have anymore potions to save her. He cannot be reckless. But she was. Jasper stood alone in his study, thinking. His coat had been discarded somewhere behind him, his cuffs loosened, his tie slightly undone.But none of it softened him. He wasn't comfortable. His heart is heavy and he wondered what is causing such unease. His mind went back to the prison, the words that Elise had said that kept hunting him. “What you have… Adrian has it too.”Adrian’s voice over the phone.“I already know how this ends.”Even though he had not seen Adrian face to face as of recent, he believed the words from Elise. Adrian have a system now. He was too precise in his doing. Now steps ahead of him and even think of things before he does. The way Adrian dismantled his operations like he ha

Ethan paused mid-step, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips before he turned around to face the leader."Oh? You're agreeing already?" he asked, raising a brow as if mildly surprised, though he had expected nothing less.Thirty minutes had barely passed, yet here they were, practically falling over themselves to take the offer."Yes, sir," the leader nodded, wincing slightly as he straightened his back, the bruises from earlier still fresh."Better this than living the thug life forever," he admitted, glancing briefly at the men behind him who all nodded in agreement.None of them had ever made that much money in one night, let alone one trip. Splitting stolen scraps and extortion money among a dozen men barely left anything worth calling a living.Two hundred bucks a trip was more than double what most of them scraped together in an entire week."Smart choice," Ethan said, walking back toward the group, his earlier warmth returning now that the tension had settled."Then i

"So what do you say?" Ethan asked once again, his gaze on the thugs who were now rolling around in pain."Don't worry, we don't need your money any more," The leader groaned managing to stand up.Since this person was so skilled, he figured out he was not just an ordinary person.After all, who would just sit and start learning combat except they had a particular use for it.He might be a thug, but that didn't mean he was foolish and was going to throw his life and the lives of the others away."How about this," Ethan spoke sounding rather unhurried his gaze still on the thugs."My company is short of hands and we have tons of things we need to do," He continued, his voice as smooth as water.The moment the employee behind heard this they froze. What the heck was the boss trying to do?But then if he were to recruit these thugs and they didn't do anything sketchy, more than ninety percent of the deliveries would arrive in their destination before dawn."Our company needs delivery men,

"Boys, break his limbs; thirty thousand for every limb," the leader announced, waving his hands; a vicious smile slowly spread across his face.There was no way he was just going to take this humiliation lying down.Hearing the money involved, the thugs rushed forward; this time, they seemed to have forgotten about the money and were headed straight for Ethan."Do you think the Boss can survive this?" Gladdy swallowed, stepping back a little from the gate, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.What the heck was she witnessing?She had to admit that the boss was pretty cunning and bold, but would he be able to deal with all of these heartless thugs?"Let's just hope they don't get their way," Gabriel also swallowed, not even knowing what to say.He also felt as if something was stuck in his throat, as he didn't even know how to feel.Help the boss? He was nothing but an old man. Besides, he didn't even have any fighting knowledge or skills.That was basically jumping into dange

"Huh?" The thugs froze, not believing their ears. Was this person standing before them even normal?Did he really want them to take the money, or was he just trying to mess with them?They didn't know what was happening, but that didn't mean they were not going to seize the opportunity standing right before them.After all, this person seemed to be willing to give it to them."Hey, you," the leader of the thugs pointed at one of his lackeys."Grab the money and let's get the hell out of here," he commanded, his eyes narrowing into a thin line.For some reason, he could tell that something was wrong, but as to what exactly was wrong, he had no idea.The thug nodded and immediately moved, wanting to take the bag of cash.But the moment he stretched his hands to grab the cash, Ethan suddenly grabbed his hands.The thug froze and then tried to pull his hands, but to his shock, it was as if an iron clamp was stamped on his wrist, and he couldn't move it even a bit."Let go!" The thug strug

Ethan, on the other hand, stepped outside the gate. The thugs, at the moment, were all outside, seemingly waiting for someone to come out of the company.The moment they saw Ethan walk out, they surrounded him, staring at him, brandishing their weapons."Hey there, give us a hundred thousand for disturbing us this night," the leader, a tall man with a deep scar around his neck, stepped forward, his voice hoarse."And why should I give you?" Ethan raised his brows, staring at the man, wondering why he had so much confidence."You don't want to pay?" The man instantly raised his brows, staring at Ethan, seemingly ready to chop off the latter's arms with the cutlass he held."Not that I don't want to pay, you just have to tell me how I disturbed you this night," he shrugged, sounding rather calm.He wasn't scared of these thugs. After all, they were people who only preyed on the weak and feared the strong.That was their psychology. As long as he could teach one of them a good lesson, he

"But...""You don't have to worry about that, just go ahead to sign it," Ethan forced a smile, feeling rather pressured.He really wanted to end the call. There were still quite a lot of things to do, but then he had to deal with this lady first."Alright then," Vanessa responded."I'll call the truck drivers and tell them to come over," she added."That's great, I'll send the address right now," Ethan was a bit relieved and ended the call.After the call ended, Ethan sighed and quickly sent the address to Vanessa."Go get some other things done first; I'll think about the issues of the truck later," Ethan waved his hand, dismissing William and Derek.Nodding, the two turned around and left. Though they didn't know Ethan's plan, they could tell he was trustworthy."Gabriel, inform me immediately if those thugs come over," Ethan instructed, looking at the gateman who nodded firmly.With everything in place, he set to the powerhouse to meet Julius who was still working on the generator.
