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

"Well, where's your answer?" the man asked, impatience clear in his tone as he waited."Since you're the one making demands here, and you seem to have no shortage of confidence," Ethan said, "why don't you start by telling me who you are first?""Gladly. My name is Mr. Hughes," he said, his chest puffing out slightly with pride. "And, much like Mr. Kent, I own several notable properties across this city.""Oh, Mr. Hughes," Ethan said, letting a faint, deliberate lift creep into his voice, which made the man straighten up a full notch higher, clearly expecting instant recognition to follow. "Have you heard of me?""No," Ethan replied flatly, watching the anticipation drain straight off the man's face. "I don't know where your type keeps popping up from, but apparently you only become relevant the moment you decide you need to be.""What did you just say?" Hughes asked, visibly bristling at the remark.[Ding!][Rage detected.][+15 Rage Points.]"I said," Ethan repeated, entirely unboth

"In a way, sir," Henry said."And what seems to be the issue with that?" Ethan asked."Well, it's the same people I mentioned who are buying into the Imperial Tower," Henry said."Okay, how is that supposed to be an issue?" Ethan asked."Like we discussed on the call, they wanted to buy just one unoccupied extra space, and that's why they went over the floor listings and recognized Mrs. Vanessa's company as one of the struggling ones. So now they've decided to buy her off," Henry said."So is that what is currently going on right now?" Ethan asked, still not grasping the core of the situation."Yes sir, you could almost say it's similar to the case she had with Mr. Mike. They need her floor, so they're pushing for a negotiation, but Vanessa doesn't want to surrender the company name. That's where the disagreement started, and it's been ongoing ever since," Henry said."Oh, I see. And this meeting is happening in her office right now?" Ethan asked."Yes, sir, they're currently in there

"Yes, it is," Ethan said, and Samuel moved quickly to finish up the arrangements for the meeting.Ethan set out to get himself ready, a few quiet minutes to collect his thoughts before the clients arrived.He couldn't help but wonder what the reward for this mission would be, given how much of an unexpected hassle it had turned out to be to complete.He had less than a week left now, and even without the system flashing the countdown in his face like a constant ticking clock, Ethan still couldn't shake the weight of it pressing down on him.Ethan soon moved back to his office and started reviewing the files. He was still busy going through the reports submitted on his desk when Henry called in."Hello, sir," Henry said."Yes, Henry? What is it?" Ethan asked."Sir, it's about the Imperial Tower. Someone new has come forward wanting to get accommodated with a space in the building, and I need your authorization before we can move forward with them," Henry said."Someone else wants a spa

"Really?" Ethan asked, surprised."Yes, boss, they just made contact not long ago, and they said they're eager to meet you in person. When can a meeting be scheduled?" Samuel said."Later today it will be fine, in the afternoon," Ethan said. "Just let me know when they're about to arrive.""Alright, boss," Samuel said, walking away, almost skipping in his step."That is good," Ethan said to himself. Depending on how the meeting went, he was sure he'd be able to keep both of them with the logistics company. From here on, apart from all the other clients he had already secured, there were still five more remaining that he hadn't gotten to yet.Ethan was just about to head to his office to look over some documents when he felt his phone beeping in his pocket. He took it out and saw Harrison's name flashing on the screen.He couldn't help but wonder what the reason for the call was shortly before he answered the call."What's up, man?" Harrison said on the other end."Hey, what's the iss

"What is this man saying, is he insane?""Ask for something less ridiculous. Who do you think you are?""Where's his worker ID? Is he even a customer? We don't even know who he is," Gladdy said, trying to stay cautious despite the confusion rippling through the room."Where's security?" Williams asked, already looking towards the door Larry came through.Right on cue, two security guards entered, eyes sweeping the room sharply left and right before locking onto their target."There he is," one of them said, closing in with a deep frown already set across his face."We're very sorry for letting him slip past us, Mr. Ethan. We'll handle him right now," the second one added."I just want to talk!" Larry said, shrinking further into himself, as if he could will his entire body into becoming a single dot on the floor."Wait," Ethan said, holding up a hand toward the two guards. "Let me hear what he came to say first. If it's nothing important, you can throw him right back out."Larry swall
