Just as soon as he did it, the water bubbled. He looked around him.“Don’t move.”However, Asher didn’t move. He relaxed, then he watched the stone in his palm shine. He felt a sudden movement around his body.Slowly, the water began to churn, rising against his chest, then creeping up to his neck and over his face. It felt as though the lake itself was swelling, until at last it completely engulfed him.Asher remained submerged, struggling to move, but his body felt locked in place. The world beneath the water darkened, swallowing all light.Then, in that suffocating darkness, he felt something mystical wrap around him. A strange warmth coursed through his body as he noticed the stone begin to soften. It melted like liquid metal, flowing toward the cut in his palm. No matter how tightly he tried to close his hand, he couldn’t stop Asher squeezed his eyes shut as a sharp, electric surge shot through him, starting from his leg and racing upward. His mind focused inward, grasping at th

Asher looked with disbelief, he thought it was not real but the words came again, this time, the beast pointed toward a direction.“That way.”He was stunned to discover that the creature could speak; never had it crossed his mind that such a being possessed a voice.Asher struggled as he followed the creature’s instructions, doing his best to guide it in the indicated direction. The creature was so heavy that every step felt like a battle, his muscles burning with the effort.After several minutes, they reached the mouth of a cave. The entrance appeared sealed, until the beast uttered a single word. At once, the stone gate trembled and rumbled open, shifting aside to form a narrow passage.Asher remained rooted to the spot, staring in disbelief.“What are you doing? Help me,” the creature snapped.He nodded quickly and stepped forward, helping it into the cave. Fear crept over him as his eyes adjusted to the darkness. Skeletons and skulls littered the ground, piled in silent testimon

Lucio had been assigned to retrieve the Green stone, and whatever he could lay his hand on. They believed the old half of the green stone could only be found in the Spiritual cave, and after getting the map, Lucio was eager to explore the forest.He had been there once with Kelvin Mancini, when they retrieved the unique dagger, but after that, they hadn’t visited, as Kelvin was against it.The man had lost some of his men the last time, and would not risk it anymore. An evil smirk curled on Lucio’s lips, “Take the lead.” He instructed the men.Meanwhile, he, Llara, Kiki, and Mick stood at the center surrounded on all sides by the armed men.As they approached the center of the bridge, the men at the front stopped as they felt something ahead. “What’s it?” Kiki asked. “I am feeling something moving,” one of the men replied.Lucio furrowed his brow; he could tell it was the Beast, it had sensed them, and with no time, it might attack them.He summoned dark energy into his palm and

Asher stood at the entrance of the mansion back home, none of the guards knew it was him. He had disguised himself. His plan was to get his pill to heal himself.He hadn't recovered his powers, and it was becoming something he could not shake. He sneaked into the mansion, he knew his way around. When he reached his room, he immediately went to the small box where he had hidden some of the pills, and left with about five.He went straight to Chris's restaurant. He had called Chris outside, and when the man came out, he dragged him to the side.“Master Mancini, why are you acting strange? Is everything okay?” Chris looked confused.“Nothing, I need your help.” He then pulled out the dagger, “Do you have any idea what this is?” Chris glanced at the dagger and nodded, “Yes, I know Mr Mancini. It's the unique dagger, where and how did you find it?”Asher hurriedly replied, “It's a long story, but I need your assistance.” He exhaled, then explained to Chris that he had lost his energy.Ch

Fabio parked his car and stepped out of it. He was trying to get things done; he had been on a call with Marco about the video he saw of Asher being chased by some men.Marco felt it had something to do with Gino. Something that had happened in the past, he was sure the two were always together, and Gino might have confessed to Asher’s involvement. Fabio found it extraordinary; it hadn’t made sense at first, but given what Marco said about Gino suspecting Asher had extraordinary powers, the puzzle pieces were falling into place.The death of the two and Asher’s disappearance were something to be worried about, and had Fabio thinking. If only he could find Asher, he was sure he would get him to say something. He knew everything he saw on the video, but how the people got killed afterwards was something he couldn’t comprehend.How did the killer know about this? How was he able to trace what was happening around them? Could it be that someone inside the police was giving out informat

As soon as they arrived at what seemed to be a hospital, Mask looked around before he got out of the car and put on his cap to conceal his identity. This wasn’t how they had expected things to turn out. He was sad and hoped the information was legit. “Let’s go.”They walked forward and pushed the door open into the house, and were welcomed by an old man. In the room were several injured victims, some of whom were close to death.The smell of blood filled the air, almost making them want to suffocate.They followed behind towards the room, nothing else crowded their mind aside from finding Asher. When they reached the room, they found a man lying on the bed covered with bandages. The man who brought him said he was rescued from a fire incident on the same day Asher was missing.Mark’s eyes scanned the man, pulled his hands from his pocket, and walked closer to the unconscious man on the bed. Their eyes checked on the man as if they could see beyond the bandages. Mark reached for hi

Ryan watched as they wheeled her out, his heart was heavy with worries. He rushed and followed the paramedics team, with his mother. He knew he needed to be by her side to make sure she was alright, she just saved his life. Ryan couldn’t shake the unease feeling that was building within him, “Hold on, Elizabeth. We will get through this.” Ryan said in his mind.The paramedic’s team rushed towards their van and drove immediately to the hospital. Ryan took the key from Nicolas and rushed behind the ambulance. His heart was racing fast, he blew the horn repeatedly when they got to the highway trying to find a path for him to drive.When they got to the hospital, the paramedics team sprang into action, and Elizabeth was wheeled into the hospital. And was taken in for treatment.Ryan raced inside like someone who had been chased, he was breathing fast. He asked several nurses and he was told that she was undergoing an operation.He sat on the chair facing downward, with tears welling up

“I heard everything you said. Grey. It was you who killed Brown at the hospital. I never thought you would be this evil until today.” Victoria said with a voice mixed with anger and pain.The policemen and the guards rushed inside the building, they stopped when they noticed the scenes that were happening before them.“Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by the police.” The Chief police officer said.Grey’s heart sank into his stomach, he knew there was no way out of him. He turned to face Ryan who gave him a small smile by the side of his lips.“You called the police, Ryan. How dare you.” Grey said.Ryan shrugged, “My mum wasn’t the only person you kidnapped, Elizabeth Brian is here.” He said soft but firm tone.The police team moved closer to where Mrs. Rebecca and Elizabeth were tied and helped untie them, setting them free, and moving them towards the back.“Drop your weapons,” The chief of police screamed again.“I can’t drop my weapon, I can surrender to you,” Grey said, his

His mother’s heart was pounding fast in fear, and Her eyes widened in horror. Seeing Six hefty men against her son Ryan.Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her body was trembling. Ryan placed the document on a rust table, beside him.Ryan knew he could take them if he stayed focused, he watched their movements, and his senses were on high alert. He watched as they moved towards a direction coming out with different weapons to fight against him.Grey stood behind, an evil smirk formed immediately by the edge of his lips. “Don’t kill him, we still need him alive to sign the document,” Greg instructed.The men nodded their heads intermittently while moving towards Ryan with a stern and mocking face.“You had picked the run person, Grey. You guys can walk away now you have the chance, I wouldn’t hurt you. I will give you some minutes to think about it.” Ryan said with a calm but firm tone.The men exchanged glances and laughed, “Let’s deal with him.” The scarred man said.Ryan st

“But I never believed you would have some people who are still loyal to you. They did a nice job of setting off the fire on time.” He said making a mockery of it.Ryan glared at him, “What is your gain in all this and what do you want?” He asked with his voice dripping in fury.“I had no idea you were this smart,” he said. “I want everything you owe, Everything your grandfather gave to you including the company.” He said.Ryan giggled with the right side of his lips, he wasn’t surprised by what he said. He knew something was odd about Grey from the beginning.“How do you think it’s going to be possible? There are people before you who have tried to take things off my hands and they failed. And one of them is your father,” he said confidently.Grey got pissed by his statement, giving him a deadly glare. With his jaw clenched. Ryan was using this as a delay tactic for the police and his men to take position. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Sebastian have positioned themselves with snipers at d

They moved slowly till they got to an open space, Ryan glanced around the room and he could see his mother being tied to a chair, her eyes could tell her story that she had pain and fear while her heart was enthralled with indescribable sorrow.It got to Ryan’s notice that she wasn’t the only one, he narrowed his gaze to the left and found Elizabeth Brian also tied at the other end.“What is she doing here and how come she was kidnapped alongside my mother.” He mumbles inwardly. Ryan was in a perplexed state but maintained his composure for the task ahead.His eyes flickered in rage while transferring the anger to his hand grip on the bag. He counted the men he saw starting from the entrance, they were a total of six men.“Where is your boss, tell him, I have what he requested and he should set them free,” Ryan said, his voice deep and showing no atom of fear.One of the gang members who seemed to be the leader, he had a scarred face, spoke with authorities.“Not so fast, we need to c

Ryan and Freddie got to the entrance of his mansion, where Ryan met his driver, Jerry. “Get in, we are heading out,” he commanded.Jerry felt something was off, he knew his master wouldn’t have sounded like that. But he believes whatever it is his master will always conquer it no matter what.Ryan felt his phone vibrate, he shoved it out placing it on a loudspeaker.“Master, Ryan. It’s Sebastian. I have news that you should know.” Sebastian said.Ryan already knew what he wanted to say, but allowed him to make the statement.“What is it?” Ryan said with a plain tone.“Master, Your mother has been kidnapped. The two guards she went out with were shot and have been taken to the hospital, we have informed the police about it. And they have sent a rescue team to search for her.” Sebastian said.“Master, I believe it was Joseph who sent those men to kidnap your mother,” he added.Ryan inhales.“I know about it, the kidnappers have contacted me.”“What did they say, did they request for any

At that moment, the cafe felt distant, leaving the other students in awe and disbelief; they couldn’t help but wonder what was happening.It was impossible to see Terry around Jack.Many students kept a curious gaze, and some even tried to lean closer so they could listen in on their conversation.Raphael and his friends exchanged glances, but had mixed feelings.Just as Terry sat down he cleared his throat before leaning forward. He kept an apologetic expression. “Jack, Anna.” He said softly. “I am sorry, I was wrong for how things turned against us. I was arrogant toward you two, and after thinking it through I just realised I made a mistake.”Jack stared at him for a moment, Anna, Raphael and Barbara did the same this time in shock and disbelief. “I have come to ask for your forgiveness, I want to make things right between us if you will let me,” Terry muttered.Terry nudged Claire without hesitation and she spoke out, “I am sorry, Anna. I am sorry for what happened at the contest

Jack wanted to reject but then he remembered he was still hiding his identity. If he refused to accept the money, it would raise a suspicious eyebrow at him. **978 He called out his account details, and she punched in as she listened intently. Sent! “Jack, you should go through it. You know she has a scammer as a boyfriend, you don’t want to receive a fake alert!” “Yes, Jack. Confirm the transaction through the bank application.” Jack smirked, he checked his bank application. “Seen.” He showed the account balance, Jack gave Claire his second bank account details, where he has $2100. He now had a total of $22,100 When Anastasia saw his account details she scoffed. “You are broke, if not for Claire’s money, you wouldn’t have had $5000. What kind of man are you?” “Come off it, Anastasia. I might not have money, but I was able to afford a premium ticket, while you with the money couldn’t take a view of the ambience where Anna was crowned the queen.” His voice was laced

It had been two days after the contest, and neither Claire nor her friends had shown up in school after the humiliation.Students were gathered in groups murmuring, chuckling and whispering. Among their various groups, most talked about the contest, and Claire did not show her face or say anything.Most had sent a notification to know when she was going to post, but not, hence leaving some students worried, knowing the Claire they knew would always post on her social media accounts.The event had turned Claire and her friends into a laughingstock in school. Their videos had been shared and had become the most trending. No one has expected Anna to emerge as the winner despite competing with big names like Vivian Sancho.Crestview University honoured her for being crowned the queen ahead of others. It brought a good reputation to the school despite what Claire did to sabotage her chances.Just as Anna walked into the class, the students gave her a standing ovation as the new queen of t

Barbara trembled slightly, she wouldn’t want to be humiliated by Benedict again. Just as he approached their table, Raphael had plans to confront him since he was sure Anna had promised to pay the money.Benedict’s gaze drifted to Jack, who kept an unreadable expression. He bit his lips, knowing he had no say anymore. His gaze dropped low. The unexpected happened when they saw Benedict drop to his knees slowly.Jack’s friends gasp in shock and disbelief. Barbara was the most surprised among her friends, she was the one who got embarrassed by Benedict.There was a moment of silence as the friends exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.Who would have thought the arrogant Benedict would kneel before the same people he looked down upon?The waitress who stood by the side was stunned, her eyes popped out in disbelief, never had she expected to see Benedict in such a state.Benedict took a deep breath, with his gaze lowered. “I want to apologise,” he said, his voice lighter than earli

“What the hell are you doing here?” Benedict couldn’t hide his anger and frustration when he spotted Jack entering Elliott’s office.“That’s him,” he sneered, “He should be thrown out of these premises this moment, he and his friends don’t need to be seen around.”Jack smiled and shook his head as he stepped forward. “Master Jack,” Elliot said, getting up from his seat and bowing respectfully, “Please, have a seat.” Benedict was taken aback by the sudden change, he froze in disbelief as he watched how Polite Elliot was toward Jack despite everything he had said. What even got him dumbfounded was hearing Elliot calling him master. “Who is he?” He thought to himself.The scene before him looked unreal, not making any sense.“Why is the young man called master? Who is he?”Jack smiled as he watched Benedict’s face. From Benedict’s expression, he could tell that he was confused.“You were saying something before I interrupted. What is it? I am interested in it, come on. Go ahead, I am

“I can see you are becoming stubborn. I know what to do with your type of people,”At that moment, Emma stepped forward, her face contorted in rage. “Mr. Mark, these are my guests, and I think it hasn’t gotten to that. I will meet with the manager to discuss the vase, and whether it will be replaced.”Seeing Emma, Benedict’s mind was mixed. He had always had feelings for Emma, but never gotten the chance to talk to her. His voice softened. “Emma, you are here.” He said, he was angry and didn’t notice Emma was standing closer.“Emma, I can forget about the vase, but this young man slapped me. I will not forgive him until he goes down on his knees and apologises to me.”Emma raised her brow in shock. She wished she could tell him he was playing with fire, but no, she couldn’t.Does Benedict know who he wants to kneel before him?Does he have a death wish?“Mr. Mark, I don’t think we should go that far, but I wouldn’t advise you not to push forward with this. We should forget this ever h
