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 watched the young waitress and almost chuckled. She was so cute trying to help him out, only to find out that he didn't even want help. He was going to take this to the highest level it could get because these assholes had interrupted his peace, and until now he hadn't eaten because of them. “What did you just say?" Wendy is fuming in rage now. “I said, aren't you a fool acting like this in front of so many elite customers?" “How dare you?!" She barked. The old man couldn't take it anymore. He said over the phone, “Come inside. There is a hooligan I want you to deal with for me." He angrily put the phone down and pointed at Ethan, “Just you watch. When I am done with you, you will be licking the soil of the ground." “I have—-" The two glass door was pushed open and so many hefty and huge men on black suit rushed into the restaurant. The customers gasped. When the young waitress saw this, she snuck away to make a call to the manager. This was getting out of hand, and even

Now he understands. He understands where the waitress had the guts to speak to him in such a manner. He didn't need Wendy or anyone to explain the situation. The moment he had set foot in here, someone had been completely restless. “After what happened at the office, you haven't let go of your shamelessness.” Ethan smirked. " What shamelessness are you speaking about, Miss Wendy?” Ethan asked. " The last time I remembered, you were the shameless one.” Wendy's face turned red. Wendy didn't want to speak about the shameless part anymore so Ethan doesn't bring back what happened at the office, so she said, " How despicable. You really ask a poor waitress who is struggling to make ends meet to kowtow to you, penniless fowl?” Ethan would have cowered back then, but now, he could only see Wendy as a joke. Thinking about it now, he realized how much nonsense he had to swallow at the hands of this woman. Whenever Wendy made a mistake back then, she would push the blame on him, and he w

Ethan's eyes narrowed. He stared at the waitress in front of him and wondered who gave her the audacity to speak to him this way. He had been to this restaurant before, and he had seen how professional the employees were. Even when he couldn't afford much back then, they never belittled him. Back then, even if he had eight bucks to buy a bottle of water, he would rather save it up for something else and buy a bottle from a regular shop that wouldn't even cost up to two bucks. He saved up every penny for Jenna's treatment and would walk to and fro work. Back then, he did not dare take himself out on a treat. The only person he spent on aside from Jenna's medication was Lucy. But that wasn't the case any longer. “I asked you a question: can you afford to buy the bottle of water?" Ethan lifted his head as he leaned on the chair rest, "What if I can?” The waitress snorted, “A nobody like you? Unbelievable.” This waitress called Mary was so sure that Ethan couldn't afford even a bo

After a while, Ethan checked his brown leather wristwatch on his wrist. It was already 2 p.m. He looked down at Jenna, who was still unconscious, and whispered, “I'll go get us a bigger apartment. You'll have a big room, and you can design it any way you see fit." He dropped his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Ethan straightened up again before turning to walk out. As he walked through the corridor, his eyes scanned the hospital that had duped him again and again. On the surface, no one would suspect that St Heaven could be so corrupt as to drain the life out of the poor masses. Now that he knew, he was going to get to the bottom of it. Ethan stepped out of the hospital and flagged a cab. Before he could tell the cab driver where he was heading, his stomach grumbled. " Any good restaurant,” he said instead. The driver glanced at the rear-view mirror before giving a simple nod. In less than twelve minutes, Ethan found himself in front of Gracious Life Restaurant.He ha

[Ding!]Mission UpdatedRestore Delta Logistics to profitability.Progress: 8%Reward: 500,000Ethan woke up with the sound of the system. He had fallen asleep beside Jenna's bed. He sat upright and cracked his neck. It had been a long day for him. And Jenna. He watched her pale face and removed the strand of hair from her face. She had been sickly since childhood, and it got worse after the death of their parents. She was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. He had taken up several jobs just to pay for her surgery. And the more he sent money, the more the hospital claimed it wasn't enough because her condition was way too serious.All he wanted was to see his Jenna happy and smiling again—free from pain. Only now did it dawn on him that the hospital had been playing with him all this time. They could have conducted the surgery long ago. But they manipulated everything.He wasn't done with them. In fact, this was just the beginning because he would make sure everyone who made h

Yes. The question was simple, but a chill ran through Jack's spine. Ethan was stern in his question. The authority with which Ethan spoke made him wonder where the man was from.“Never," Jack replied. For the first time in his life, he was glad he had never stolen from this company. “Do you swear you did not steal parts of my company's generators?" Jack went weak on his knees as he began to sweat profusely. He didn't know if any of his members had gone behind his back to steal, but they would never disobey him. “Boss, I would never lie to you." Jack fell to his knees, " If we steal, I would tell you. I have never instructed my people to steal from Delta Logistics. But I will ask them one after the other. I will get the truth out of them, and I will report back to you.” Ethan saw in Jack's eyes that he wasn't lying. But if it wasn't the thugs, then who? " I'll be waiting.” Jack nodded, stood on his feet, and rushed out of the compound. With the speed at which Jack ran, Ethan c
