Jones' eyes widened when he saw Jason unleashing a gun, with his hand on the trigger guard already. And in a split second, a whip-crack sound exploded out of the barrel.“Jones!!!!!!” Kenny yelled at the top of his voice when he saw Jones pacing towards Jason, immediately the gun was fired.Coming to the realization that the gun shot he heard was fired towards Kenny. He quickly lunged at Jason.They both crashed to the ground together, rolled together through the wet, dirt, and the thorns and the broken branches, tearing and punching and growling at each other. A large tree root hit Jones in the head, making his ears to ring. Jones got more advantageous with the punches as they rolled down the broken branches.Jason was looking rashly for his pocket gun but couldn't remember where it had fallen. Another resounding punch came from Jones and he couldn't block it.Jason held him as he rolled, making Jones to roll on alongside. They rolled down the hill, the world flipping and flipping

J-kill and Paul ran into an unknown direction, paving through the dense forest. As they stormed through the forest, it morphed into a large open space, cluttered with rocks of different sizes. Paul had no idea about where they were headed, he just had to follow J-kill like a puppet.“Com'on, we're getting close.” J-kill beckoned and started running towards an unpaved road surfaced with gravel. The more they get closer, the more a noticeable grin masked Paul's face. For more than three years, he had never felt such a tender joy.“Is that it?” Paul asked when they stopped running.“Yes! That's our way out. We're out of this forest. Woah,” J-kill yelled.With Paul's eyebrows scrunched up, he asked, “you know about this escape route all these while?”“I think I do, I just don't remember the way. I had to think.” He answered and walked briskly towards the gravel road. They wandered through the road, though J-kill wasn't feeling hopeful, Paul was consumed with zestfulness, that he was fina

“This is FBI, you're completely surrounded, Surrender now!” Came a voice from a megaphone as they close on Jones and the rest of the prisoners, who were still alive. They didn't expect everything to turn out this way, the deaths and everything happening was never close to what Jones planned.Jones and the escaped prisoners were taking cover with the stolen car, while the FBI agents were closing on them from both side. If they should keep running at the open space that lead to the forest, there's a high chance they won't make it there without getting shot.And there is no other option better than surrendering, and Jones wasn't ready to go back to prison. If they are caught as it seems like, they might not get thrown into Atlad prison again. What fate awaits them?“Does that mean, I will be thrown into the same prison as my brother? Is he even in any prison? Why is it not known to public! Dammit,” Jones doesn't know what to believe anymore. He was having mixed feelings and feeling bad w

A Boeing 747 flew over and landed safely on the helipad. The cool mist splashed Melvin Otani's face as he walked out through the door of the jumbo jet.The roaring sound of the jet engine rushed through his ear as the door to the plane shoved open.Hundreds of men in suits fell into a line immediately the door of the jet was open, they had a badge attached to their suit.The badge on their suit was an indication of loyalty to Melvin Otani. Once the loyalty of a recruit is perceived to be without pretense and remorse, they are accepted to serve.While they were anticipating his presence, Joan and five burly men, stepped out. Melvin was behind them, walking in a lordly manner as usual.The whole building, attached to the helipad, was owned by Melvin Otani and no intruder has been able to invade the location. Even the government still doesn't have any idea about Melvin's movement. He comes into the country and leave like the ghost he was. The walking living ghost as known by everyone.“W

Melody briskly walked out of the brick building. It was an old building that had an undeniable serenity. The fusty nosegay of age and quietness embraced her as she walked through the environment.There were drawings imprinted on the walls of the building, but they all seemed to have faded away along the design layers.Despite its deteriorated state, the whole building and the environment had the peace the other world craved.“Hey Melody,” Ramon waved at her and walked towards her.“How's your man, uhm…Chris?” She asked without staring at him. She felt bad and didn't like how she was feeling despite being in a safe place. She tried comforting herself that all seemed to be fine, but she was merely betraying her true feelings.“Oh, Yeah, he's getting better.” He exhaled heavily, before throwing the question he had always wanted to ask since they got the news about Jones escaping. “Why did Jones hire you as his lawyer?”She hiked her head up and stared in surprised at him. She never expec

Jones and the other escaped prisoners were still running at a fast pace through the woods. They are tired, sweaty and breathing heavily. “I knew it. I knew it will get to this. Everything is just fucked up.” Kenny said, slowing down his pace.“I never wanted to join the escape. I—I… I really don't want any of this.” Kenny stammered, trying to catch his breath. He was clearly close to despair. With that, Jones and the other prisoners stopped running.“How long are we going to keep running?” Paul asked out of frustration.Everyone was tired and frustrated. They trusted Jones' plan, but it seemed like everything was going south. They got found before, and they believe the police will find them again if they don't get out of the woods now.Jones had to deploy a new escape plan the very moment he found out that his brother was not in Atlad prison. So his former plan had a means of getting them out of the woods with ease, but since they weren't using his initial plan, it was going to be d

That’s Berg territory and it's the end for Allen Berg. But something was missing from the search. No live feed and the knowledge of the exact location . That

Dylan stared at the message for a moment and his hand instantly curled into a fist.The more he read, the more the fury burning hot inside him. His body was running at its peak at the moment. It was like every skill in his body was activated at once, but it was the surge of the new upgrade.Focus...!!!AndLethal Rage...!!!Was all written all over his face.“He wants a final reckoning?” he muttered coldly with a steamed up face.“Then I’ll give them one.”Austin noticed his stillness and rage. “Who’s that? What’s going on?”Dylan’s phone screen dimmed as he slid it into his pocket. “It’s nothing you need to worry about... I will handle it.”“Nothing....?!” Austin’s voice cracked. “You just got a text from someone and all of a sudden your face is flaming up in anger, and Nicole’s being threatened! And you're telling me it's nothing? What the hell is happening, Dylan?”Dylan finally looked at him, and for a moment, Austin froze.His friend’s eyes that were normally warm but now they we

Dylan looked down at his body and he could feel the system’s upgrades had already begun altering him physically. His muscles had become much denser and his skin faintly glowed. Every blood his heart pump was like a surge of energy invigorating his body. Even Dylan himself was amazed with his reflection in the window. Indeed, the system has morphed him into a superior version of himself.Then....BAM...!!!Instantly, the door burst open.“Dylan?!”Austin stormed in with his face flushed with fear. But the moment his eyes landed on Dylan, that fear twisted into pure confusion. His mouth was slightly open with his eyes darting as if trying to make sense of what he was seeing.Confusion wasn’t just on Austin's face... Confusion was his face. Anyone who looked at him could see it written there loud and clear.“What... what is this?” Austin muttered, taking a cautious step forward. “Dylan… what happened to you?”Dylan turned slowly with calmness. The glow from the upgrade instantly faded

"Is the wealth really infinite? There's no end to the upgrade?" Dylan was just wondering and scrutinizing the whole system until another notification popped in.★ AI ASSISTANT UNLOCKED (LEVEL 1)★Available Functions:• Threat detection (Basic level)• Skill-synergy suggestion (Basic level)• Basic TasksNOTE:::Full access to the AI Assistant is currently restricted. To unlock higher intellectual functions, including advanced strategy, full conversational support, and real-time skill optimization, Host must progress to Higher Ranks.AI Level Upgrades are directly tied to Rank milestones. Until then, current AI capacity remains in a limited operational state."An AI Assistant? You mean like… a voice actually talking to me?" Dylan asked with a smile slowly creeping across his face"YES!" a bold text instantly appeared on the screen.“Wow, this is awesome.” Dylan thought to himself, but a wild smile masked his face like someone who just hit a jackpot. Actually, this was more than a jackp

“Yes...? Are you seriously just going to stand there and say nothing?” Austin raised an eyebrow, half-laughing in disbelief. “Come on, man… spill it already.”His mind was already racing, practically begging Dylan to just confirm what he had started to suspect about him having an origin of some insanely rich, secretive and aristocratic family with connections all over the world. That would at least explain the mansion, the car, the fighting skills, and the mysterious aura he constantly gave off.“I mean, at this point, you could tell me you run the country and I wouldn’t even flinch,” Austin added, folding his arms. “So what’s the truth? Who are you really?” Austin pressed on.Dylan had made up his mind to tell him and only him. But it's not possible to tell Austin and Barry doesn't get to know in the end. They tell one another things and whatever he says now will be circulated through the Tripods.The thought crushed on him.No....Not yet...!Some truths are too heavy and too dang

Austin stepped through the massive doorway and his feet got frozen. The gloss floors and the walls adorned with modern art seems like something of a luxury magazine. Something that can never exist in the real world. His eyes swept across the grand interior and he was forced to stare at Dylan again."Is this for real? Or am I just imagining things?" Austin just couldn't stop asking questions."You can't picture something you haven't seen before... You told me that, remember?" Dylan said with a wide grin spreading across his face as he tucked his hands casually into his pockets.Austin raised a brow, smirking. "Oh, so now you're quoting me? You didn’t even believe that when I said it.""Saying it doesn’t mean I bought it. People imagine what they’ve never seen all the time… It’s called imaginative thinking, genius." Dylan shrugged with a playful glint in his eyes."Well, look who’s suddenly sounding like a professor."They both laughed genuinely that it seemed to echo softly through t
