That day, the app's users learned a valuable lesson: never underestimate your rivals. Nix’s destructive power skyrocketed in a ridiculous way. Within seconds, she had reached 88% of the points, even surpassing Jack Stanton, who was the only one with more than 30 kills to his name.“That was so fast,” exclaimed Carl Stanton, still unable to recover from the shock of what he had just witnessed.And the supreme millionaire was absolutely right. This had easily been the fastest battle so far. Nix had only taken 11 minutes and 36 seconds to find Sony and kill him in such a gruesome way.“This is the kind of show I expect to see. Hopefully there are more users like Nix hiding out there in the shadows,” Carl said to his servants, just before returning to his sanctuary.The betting houses recorded a net gain of 100%. It was unbelievable to think that no one—absolutely no one—had bet even a single cent in favor of Nix.Nix was truly skilled at hiding and moving undetected. She was extremely st

Jack got up from the grass slowly and calmly, pulling a cigarette from his pocket along with a lighter. It took a few tries before the lighter managed to produce a flame long enough to light the cigarette, allowing him to take a deep drag — even with his eyes closed — as the screams of a woman echoed in the background. She was crying in despair, holding the lifeless body of her husband, who had just shot himself in the head.Jack watched as all the money that man had accumulated in his bank account was transferred directly to his own. And although Jack wasn’t in it for the money, he knew that this marked the end of that stupid battle.In the distance, the wailing of police sirens could be heard getting closer. Apparently, the neighbors had heard the gunshots and called it in. That was Jack’s signal to leave. He flicked the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out with his shoe. He gave one last glance at the heartbreaking scene in that house’s yard before getting into the car t

Lix and Kloe had traveled to many places looking for Rex. They had even paid for several taxis to search the spots where they assumed he might be hiding. However, all their efforts were in vain. They had run out of ideas of where to look, and time kept slipping away.“We have to go to his house,” said Lix once there were no more places left to search.“That’s stupid. That would be the last place Rex would think of hiding. He knows perfectly well that’s the first place the police would look,” replied Kloe.“We have to do something to find him soon, before he does something stupid,” Lix insisted, completely desperate.“I have an idea, but… you’re not going to like it,” said Kloe in a slow, measured voice.“Don’t even think about it,” warned Lix, her eyes wide open.“I’m really sorry, Lix. But it’s the only way to find Rex quickly,” Kloe responded, then pulled out Lix’s phone, which she had kept in her pocket to keep it away from her.Lix had tried to keep her phone away because she had

Rex kept running through the darkness of that street. He only had the moonlight and the beams from those drones that didn’t leave him alone for even a second. The mission of those cameras was to record every detail of the battle—and they were doing it very well.There were maybe about a kilometer left when Rex heard a sound coming from his phone. A peculiar sound, one he recognized immediately. The battery had reached its maximum limit, and the phone was warning that it was about to shut down.A single glance at the screen was enough to realize that the phone was completely shutting off."No! Wait! Please!" Rex shouted in the middle of that lonely, dark street, speaking directly to his phone's screen.Now there was no way to know how to get to Ember’s house. He didn’t know if that boy was waiting for him, or if he had already gone to hide somewhere.Rex was heading straight toward an uncertain destination, not knowing what to expect. However, he was starting to recognize the houses an

Two patrol cars pulled up at the same time in front of the city police station. There were many other vehicles to guard and serve as escorts, but those two patrol cars were the main attractions of the night. Obviously there was no shortage of curious onlookers who approached from a safe distance to try to see something live. Those drones flying in the sky above the officers' heads was too flashy to pass up. Plus, social media was playing a huge role in those broadcasts. Everyone wanted to take a picture or record themselves next to those drones or with one of the participants of the death battles to try to get attention on the networks and receive approval from their followers. That's why the police station was soon filled with curious onlookers who were getting closer and closer to the main entrance. "Please! Please, gentlemen!" the police chief began to shout to all those people who had gathered at the place."We want to see the participants!", shouted one of those onlookers from
