Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore   One V Fifty

Is it the responsibility of a teenager to take on an army?An army that operates in the shadows of the wealthiest island nation, beneath it's squeaky clean exterior, an entire underground operation that has at least thousands of men working under the Blood Lion, what many consider to be a ruthless and cruel elitist mastermind that sits within the comfort of the government.Nevertheless, just because it's tough or impossible...it doesn't mean that Maxus shouldn't try.Way of the Scorpion, Martial Arts and Self Defense. The school opened, ran and taught by the most dangerous opponent Maxus had faced yet: Eden Lee, also known by the infamous code name given to his assassin alias, the Red Scorpion, credited with dozens of kills alongside multiple extremely high profile ones.

Not the Red Scorpion.Maxus h

Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore   Falling For A Killer

It's the first holiday of the year.Maxus still hasn't seen her messages despite days passing. Leah knew that he always seemed occupied with something other than focusing on school as well as having emotional trauma from events that took place in his past. Maxus always seemed to unfocused, almost like something big unresolved was constantly haunting him without rest.On top of all that pain and despression, he had no parents around to comfort or teach him. She knew he had an aunty and uncle who were his legal guardians and were financially supporting him as much as they could but even they weren't that well to do and had their own kids to take care of as well.Most girls would not even entertain the idea of talking to such a boy, he seemed so uncommitted to most and even to the girls in class, Maxus was just someone who didn't want to be here. Some of them might find him "cool ", a brooding secretive guy who talks rarely but yet, that was never how Leah perceived him.She could feel t

Trust.A firm belief for someone or something.Maxus remembered being in the exact same spot he was in two years ago. His father's funeral just finishing the day before. Maxus was a newly made orphan without any parents in his life to provide him the love and basic needs of life.The scene was clear as day in his head. That day had an unforgiving weather, pouring heavily outside the cozy comfort of the temple and flooding several streets around them. The temperature was borderline freezing, Maxus remembered shaking profusely to the cold but at that moment, it was the least of his concerns.He remembered feeling like he was sinking endlessly.A pit of pure emptiness was awaiting him. He didn't know what was going to happen to him, he didn't know if there was anything that could allow him to keep even the house he was staying in, the last place in the world that connected him to his parents, something he deeply wished would never be taken away

The Blood Lion. I trust this role to you.Why Dad? Why is the Blood Lion neccessary to keep Singapore alive? Kenneth remembered asking his dying father this question, the day he made up his mind permenantly. "There will always be crime, there will always be corruption in every single country. No matter how hard you try, no matter how many good men you may have...crime and corruption will ALWAYS exist. So why not allow them and keep them to a minimum?"The role of the Blood Lion, allowing crimes and and illegal activites to take place in Singapore, happening everywhere but completely hidden from the outside world as well as it's own citizens, to give them the illusion of peace and a safe nation. If it has to happen, might as well let it by being the source and leader of all the crime.Only by doing this, Singapore will be safe from over corruption and crime."I know. You are all worried."Minister Kenneth faced the large crowd of thousands of residents in front of him, all of them look

Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore   Sinking Heart

Sometimes...it just feels like the world itself hates me.The weather matched Maxus' mood. The heavy rain, the dark sky, even things like the eerily silent environment and coldness of the atmosphere, everything seemed to reflect how he was feeling. The teenager reached his home as the Soultaker, drenched completely and began undressing, removing the pieces of clothing and armor on his body."Why..." Maxus muttered, collapsing onto his couch in defeat.He didn't want to feel anything anymore. Yet again, because of him...someone else he didn't want to die was now gone. Ding.Maxus reluctantly dragged his phone out of his pocket, looking at the notifications on the screen. Usually, he would he on cloud nine, messages from Leah asking if she could visit. He didn't want to throw his problems onto her again...she really doesn't deserve any of this.Maxus set his phone down, closing his eyes and leaning back into his couch, trying his best to clear his head, too exhausted physically and emo

Monday.Tuesday.4 days left till the Election.5 different locations attacked by the Soultaker in just two days. Seventeen gangsters killed, five freed immigrants who were forced to work here and seven girls who were freed from the black mail of high ranking officials in powerful companies. Everything seemed to pass by like a fever dream, memories were fuzzy and many times, Maxus found his body moving by it's own, his own combat instincts keeping him fighting like a beast while he...He didn't even feel conscious.Maxus ravaged his way through stacks of files, threatened the people responsible and yet, no one had any clue on what Minister Kenneth was truly doing. Most of them were simply getting paid and most of them didn't even know who was running the entire operation.Tuesday Morning. 10am.The vigilante returned home as he always did, soaked in a mixture of blood and sweat. Maxus set down a new bag of files he collected, transactions from Cheng Finances to smaller businesses who
