“We will continue the investigation on our end, Mr. Blackwood.” Mr. Dane patted Ethan on the shoulder while he proceeded to take away Lucas’ body as well as Chloe’s. “Can you not take her with you?” Ethan quickly asked, worried that she wouldn’t be handled well. He had seen the pain she went through and he at least wanted to give her a good resting place. “Don’t worry, Ethan. She will be brought back to you and you can make arrangements for her burial.” Mr. Dane offered, with a serious expression. And then he continued, “But for now, we need to conduct some investigation and an autopsy on her body…”As Mr. Dane explained, Ethan let out a sigh, feeling a bit unfulfilled. “Thank you for your help in this case, Mr. Ethan. If we need anything else, we will contact you.” Ethan watched Dane take the bodies away with his men while Mason came to stand by his side. “Boss, the meeting is about to start. We should leave.” Mason whispered. “Will you be able to attend?” He asked, concernedly

Ethan halted his steps, shocked and mortified by Chloe’s appearance. He didn't know what to think of the situation, as he thought Lucas was a bad man, but seeing Chloe now, Lucas deserved a fate worse than death. And on the other hand, seeing Ethan’s expression, Chloe let out another stream of tears. She was embarrassed and ashamed of herself. It wasn't her fault she turned out that way, but she couldn't stand herself anymore. “Let her go, Lucas,” Ethan warned, his eyes roaming the room as he searched for what he could attack with, but there was nothing in sight. “Never! She dies with me!” He grinned. They had a few back and forth, and Chloe was tired of the noise. She looked at Ethan with sincerity in her eyes, “Thank you.”“You helped me when I needed help the most.” Her expression was calm now, devoid of sadness and misery. But then Ethan felt something was wrong. She continued, “You gave me the best sex of my life–” “What?” Lucas gasped, his arm wrapping even more tightly

“I killed him…” Lucas repeated and then he laughed, again and again in Ethan’d face. He was laughing too much and Ethan felt like clawing his face with force. But he had to wait, the system was still healing him. Lucas continued, “You look horrified...” He pointed at Ethan’s face. Of course, Ethan was horrified. The last boss was killed by Lucas! Was this why the System had assigned him to kill Lucas? If this was the case, the last boss would definitely be a former possessor of the system. “Should I tell you how I killed him?” Lucas asked a childlike excitement in his eyes. However, he didn't even wait for an answer before speaking again, “That bastard seemed invincible to everyone.”“The elders respected him so much and it seemed like he could never die. It was too unusual and then I got close to him, to know what the fuck he was doing!”“He scaled through every attack thrown in his way by his enemies and no matter how hard I tried, I never broke through him to know him.” Lucas su

Ethan had escaped Lucas and the men narrowly and as he ran around the building, straight to the backyard, he limped in pain. The System was still healing him and he had a hard time walking. However, he couldn't stop because Lucas was bound to catch up with him sooner or later. But first, he had to get to Chloe. In the backyard, he found a small door leading into the building and at the same time, he heard footsteps from behind, followed by a loud voice. “Catch him! Catch that bastard! How did he get in here?” It was Lucas shouting at the top of his lungs, the anger in his voice evident.He then continued, “Assign a few men to go outside the building too. Capture whoever you see there! I am sure that bastard brought back up.” “Fuck!” Ethan cursed, his eyes dimming slightly knowing Lucas had caught up to him and he was already going after Mason and the other men. Immediately, he rushed through the small door, while tapping on the device in his ear. Swiftly, Mason answered. “Boss,

Ethan stood there, still torn between jumping over the fence and staying back. At the same time, Chloe’s screams continued to echo throughout the building. She was being tortured too much and he couldn't stay back. Ethan thought his life would mean absolutely nothing if he couldn't save a life that desperately needed his help. “I'm going over!” He decided and Mason looked at him in shock while he shook his head. “You can’t do that.” Mason disagreed, putting his arm forward to stop his boss. At those words, Ethan turned to him with his left brow arched in amusement, “I don’t remember you telling me what to do. It didn't start before and it is not going to start now.” His voice grew stern with each word and Mason slowly stepped back, with an apologetic look. “I apologize, Boss.” Mason bowed and as he looked up, he saw Ethan getting ready to get over the fence. It irked him so much to see his boss put himself in harm’s way and in that moment, he stepped forward again. “If you are g

[Attention Ethan Blackwood, a new mission has appeared.] As Ethan was running around to get to the warehouse in time, he received a summon from the system. He had to halt his steps in order to listen well. [Kill Lucas. You have Three hours to complete this mission. Otherwise, you will face consequences.] “What?” Ethan gasped, in shock. “You can’t give me such a task! Lucas’ life is not up to me!” He retorted, a bit angry. Yes, it was the first time the system had asked him to kill a person but now, he wasn't the only one involved with Lucas. Mr. Dane would definitely be suspicious if Lucas just dropped dead. [You can’t dispute the instructions of the system, Ethan Blackwood.] At those words, Ethan let out a sigh, feeling deflated. He didn't know how to go about such a thing but no matter what happened, he would rather take out Lucas than face the consequences of the system. He was still contemplating what to do when he received an urgent message from Mason. He needed to be at

Slowly, Gerald rose up to his feet, still staring at Daven with a death stare. “Do you think you can trap me this way?” He sneered. Daven was taken aback, by Gerald’s confidence. It was one thing to hate Daven and it was another to be so confident and feel he wasn't trapped. However, Daven didn't say a word, wanting to see what he would do next. “Answer me, you bastard…” Gerald was already rushing at Daven but then he stopped. He recalled how his punch was deflected earlier and he knew he couldn't underestimate Daven anymore. So, he stood back, “Do you think everything you want will happen? This is the world of the rich, Daven. I will get out of prison before you can think of it.” Gerald’s bragging stance caused Daven to swallow in anger. He couldn't deny that Gerald was indeed right, after all, Doctor Blackman’s show of anger may be just for the moment.“I will be back…” Gerald sneered and immediately turned toward the door. Before the police would arrive, he knew he needed to

Gerald suddenly burst into hot tears and for a moment, Daven thought he was a weak ass man. However, Gerald’s tears were just manipulative, igniting sympathy from everyone. And while Daven hovered over Gerald, he looked dangerous, breathing heavily and unharmed while Gerald was the swollen one. Blackman looked at Daven, heavily disappointed. He thought he had found a worthy student, but the student turned out to be trash. “It’s time you get him out of here, Doctor Blackman! What do you think a poor boy like him will do here?” The doctors started to point fingers at Daven. “Quick! Someone get Gerald out of his grasp!” Immediately, some doctors rushed forward, dragging Daven away from Gerald. Blackman helped Gerald up, while the crying man laid on his father’s shoulders. Though Blackman wasn't proud of the way his son was acting, he still had to blame Daven. “I am disappointed, Daven.” He shook his head. “And I demand an explanation. Why would you lay your hands on a person? Have

The event started and Daven got to sit at the forefront with Blackman and the doctors. Even Gerald couldn't sit very close to his father but Daven did. Daven watched Doctor Blackman give a tremendous speech about a new aspect of medicine they were researching on and he was intrigued. The complex system in his body had opened the door to a lifetime of opportunities for him and even though he never saw himself as a doctor before, he began to consider it. “Tell me, how was my speech? Were you intrigued?” Blackman struck up a conversation with Daven. “Yes, Doctor Blackman, I was intrigued. I kind of want to become a doctor now.” Daven smiled. He had already completed the first part of his mission, and now he was onto the second part.“Really?” Blackman’s eyes lit up. “You know, as long as you have the perseverance and determination, you can become one.”“Would you like to enroll in medical school? As soon as your father’s surgery is done, we will start the process.” Blackman was liter

Faced with that question, Daven remained calm because the System had already provided him with everything he needed to know about the illness and all he needed to do was to search for it. However, Gerald didn't see it that way. Seeing the way Daven was staring blankly, he thought Daven had gone frozen in fear. He gloated, “Father, why would you ask him such a question? I didn't tell you earlier, but he is just a cleaner back at school. He is barely even a student.”“Really?” Doctor Blackman raised his brows, in wonder. He noticed Daven’s clothes were shabby and his face rough with callused fingers. Gerald’s words seemed to be true. “Yes, father. You shouldn't waste your time speaking to him. Look, your colleagues are waiting.” Gerald pressed, with a smile. All he wanted to do was get rid of Daven. “Yes, Doctor Blackman. The event is about to start. We can’t keep waiting for someone who doesn't even know what he is doing…” The doctors started to complain. On the other hand, Blackm

“These bastards.” Daven cursed, annoyed that they were now trying to help his father after he had notified them of what was wrong. He didn't know what these doctors were thinking! In his mind, he vowed that if his father should die, he was going to bring down the hospital. A few minutes later, James King was finally back to normal and the doctor’s left his side. Daven watched them, with a death glare as they approached him. “Mr. King, we apologize for our misunderstanding earlier. Do you mind telling us where you got diagnosis of your father's tumor?” The doctor asked. “Does that matter now?” Daven hissed. “Shouldn’t you be scheduling his surgery now?”“Not immediately. We have to conduct an MRI scan this time. It will give us a better view of what we are dealing with here…” “Then do it!” Daven pressed. “How much do you need? Tell me…”The doctor smiled wryly, seeing Daven’s worry. He assured Daven that his father was going to be alright after they ran the test. As they left, Dav

“Yes. I came as backup.” Daven uttered as he looked into the eye of the one questioning him. He knew they were suspicious of him already but he wasn't fazed. He didn't do anything wrong after all, he only saved people who could have died due to their short-staffed situation. “What unit are you from?” However, the paramedic didn't back down as he didn't fully trust Daven’s words. “I will call them up and ask–”“Are you really doubting someone who healed us?” One of the patients stepped forward, angry that the paramedic was butting in. “Look at me, I feel healthy! If he wasn't a doctor, do you think he could treat me?” “That’s the problem here!” The paramedic faced the patients. “If he really treated you, then you are not supposed to be completely healed just yet. What did he do?”“We need to confirm…” The paramedic turn in the direction where Daven had been standing but he was long gone. On the other hand, Daven took the opportunity to leave while the paramedics were focused on the

“Did you find anything?” Robin asked as soon as Leon came back and the old man nodded. “He is telling the truth,” Leon said simply causing Robin to look at Arti with a probing look. However, he didn't want to probe too much as what he needed to do now was to find Angie. “I think you need to go back to the underworld. They abducted her.” Arti chipped. “I hate to say this but if we don't act fast, Angie might die.” “Shit!” Robin cussed in anger and punched the air. He didn't want to go back there at all. But then the dark band was still with him and there was no way they wouldn't look out for him. “Get ready, we are leaving!” He ordered and then turned to go to his bedroom with Leon to prepare. On the other hand, Arti smirked in victory. He was the one who planned the abduction. No matter what, he wanted his previous boss, Bruce’s legacy to go on. He would do everything to get Robin back there. Arti was itching to put more bullets into the heads of people and he couldn't do that

“Are you okay?” Robin asked as he patted down on Angie’s hair. He led her into his bedroom and Angie could only smile sheepishly. “Tell me what you want to eat. I will get it for you.” Robin uttered, as he made her lay on his bed and he covered her up. He did everything with so much care that Angie was blushing continuously. “No… you don't have to do that.” She said, holding his hand. “You just got out of the police cell, you should rest.” “No, you should be the one resting. Look at me, I'm fine.” Robin put her words down and then stood up to his feet. “Wait here. I'll get you something to eat.” He quickly turned around to leave and before Angie could say something he was gone. She was left sighing on the bed and as she stared blankly at the ceiling, her heart felt full and at the same time, it was in turmoil. She didn't know if Robin was being so caring because of the recent happenings. It was likely so but then why did he have to kiss her before everyone earlier? Does he lik

Robin was remanded in the interrogation room which had dim lighting and two police officers sat before him. “So, where were you with Mac before he died?” They asked. “We were on a work trip,” Robin replied. His reply was vague but then that was the truth. However, it only made the officers more suspicious. “You can't just say you were on a work trip. Where exactly?” They asked. “I–” Knock!Knock!!Robin was cut off with a knock on the door and in the next second, the door opened and a police officer in uniform walked in. “Sir, Angie Hamilton appeared and is demanding to speak to the detective in charge of the case.” The police officer announced. “Angie? Angie is here?” Robin shot up to his feet with a surprised look on his face. How did she get there when she was supposed to be hospitalized? That was the thought in his head and he was about to move to go to her without thinking of anything else.“Mr. Claire, you will have to stay here.” One officer, held him by his shoulder an

Mac’s parents left the mansion in tears as Robin refused to hand over the company to them. However, they looked like they were really going to carry out their threats.“How are you going to solve this? You can't give them the company.” Leon said, walking up and down while Robin sat on the couch. He was silent as he tapped his fingers on the handrest. Claire’s Logistics was the dearest company to him. It was what he founded first and even at that, he could give it out freely for the sake of Mac. But then the moment he starts to give them whatever they wanted, they would come back and ask for more, stating the fact that he killed their son. Mac died because of him but then it didn't mean Robic killed him. He was ready to atone for his sins but with how greedy the parents were, they weren't worth the stress. “Leon…” Robin spoke up as he stood up to his feet. “Let them do their worst. I am not giving them a single penny anymore.” He declared and Leon nodded gleefully. “But if they c

Two days had passed since Robin buried his mother, Mac and Bruce. Several articles had been going all over the internet speculating how Alexander was killed and who killed him. The netizens were also trying to connect his death with the deaths that happened in the underworld. Surprisingly, the police had decided to intervene in the issue. The hideouts of Kaden and his brothers were raided but they couldn't find anything leading back to Robin, he had cleared up everything. And as the bearer of the dark band, no one was willing to snitch on Robin.Also, he had made sure to move Angie to a private hospital, and as of now, though he didn't want anything to do with the underworld, the members still wanted him back and they were already proposing that he reunite every organization in there.A few seconds later, there was a knock on Robin's bedroom and he opened his eyes slowly but he could see nothing. The bedroom was dark and the windows were closed while the curtains were drawn. No amoun

"It's done..." Robin said on the phone with a sigh through his lips. Alexander was locked up in the cell and he was back in Bruce's mansion. "Really? You have Alexander?" Leon said from the other side of the phone. His heart was filled with glee at the thought that their efforts were not in vain. "Yes, Leon. I have a few plans I would need you to carry out." Robin said and Leon answered accordingly. He was ready to do whatever Robin said and a few seconds later, Robin dished out a few instructions and Leon understood. However, before the call got disconnected, Robin revealed what had transpired, "Leon, Bruce and Mac are dead. While Angie is in a critical condition. She might not make it." He dropped the bombshell shell and directly disconnected the call. He didn't want Leon to blame him or try to comfort him. In the next second, Robin threw his phone to the other side and slipped to the floor in his bedroom. This was the time when he was alone and now, he could let it all out. Tea
