Veyra walked into Lazik's office and saw him focused on the computer screen, his fingers working on the keyboard. She had been summoned by him with no reason why, only the thought that it was not bound to be good.When the door shut behind her, everything went silent. Lazik looked up at her, then leaned back in his seat, staring at her intently for a few seconds before smirking.“Do you know why you are here?” he questioned her.Veyra gave him a brief glance. “I have no idea.”“Of course, you wouldn't,” he told her, “I never expected such from you, Veyra. I thought you were finally on my side and that we would rise together. But little did I know that you had some secretive plans up your sleeve.”Veyra remained silent as she played with her fingers.“Well, that was not what I called you for.” he informed her, then continued, “while you were locked up, I was lucky to find a replacement that fitted your role perfectly.”Veyra abruptly lowered her gaze toward him.“The only problem I hav

It had already been three days since Serex’s confinement in one of Lazik's cells. It was difficult for him, particularly since Veyra had been taken away.He was curious as to what had happened to her. Was she being beaten or treated badly or worse still, had she been killed?He abruptly shivered as he tried removing the thoughts from his head, however, he couldn’t. Seeing the man Lazik was, Serex was certain he was capable of even more evil acts.When was he actually going to get out?, he asked himself.He had to look for his brother before it was too late. A week had passed and there was nothing about Kael, not even a trace of him and all he could do was hope that he was fairing well.When he thought of his boss, he wondered what he would have been doing. He was sure Jace had noticed his disappearance, but he wondered why he had not come to his aid. Given his affluent status and power, he was sure that his boss could rescue him without having to do much.Serex sighed and rested his b

“What do you mean by that?” Lazik asked Ryker who stood before him. “Crowe should be back by now with that man's head. And you dare to tell me this?”“I discovered that the tracker that was implanted in him was not functioning.It has not been confirmed but chances are that he has been killed.”“Nonsense. Don't tell me that!” Lazik fumed. “That was one of my best inventions. He can't just go like that.”Lazik then turned to him, “what about his core? There should be something left of him.”“I have sent men to check it out.” Ryker said.“I do not need you to send anyone; I want you to do it yourself!” The man spoke in a stern tone.“Yes, sir.”“I need him back, alive or dead.”“Yes, sir.”Just as Ryker was about to leave, a guard entered.“You have a visitor, sir.”“Who the hell is this visitor?!” He yelled in anger.The man peered in, putting Ryker back in his normal state.“Mr. President,” he called out, forcing a smile.“Mr. Lazik.” The man said as he approached Lazik’s chair.“I was

Jace sat in a bar, gulping down pints of tequila while completely absorbed in thought. He could not believe he was in possession of someone else’s core.It was strange. Too strange for him to comprehend.Even though his body had returned to normal, he could still feel those thoughts in his head.It was not his, that he was certain of.When he took another sip, he felt his body jerk forward.Something was not right.|[Health status in danger]|[External liquid detected]“Wait, what?” Jace said as he examined the glass in his hand.The system has never rejected alcohol before, so why now? When he took another gulp, he felt his stomach rumble and he began to feel dizzy.|[Health status: 70%] “Fuck!” he exclaimed in anger, “why can't everything just go smoothly?”Then he stood up, abandoned the remaining content, and walked away. His next stop was his house, where he intended to plot his next attack.There was no time left, and if Lazik could send Crowe to him, he was confident that mor

Ryker was already behind schedule by the time he arrived at the institute. He dashed into Lazik’s office, only to find him pacing around, as he always did when he was angry.“You're late.” The man’s voice boomed, “how do you care to explain that?”“I–I–”“–have you suddenly lost your vocal chords, or is there something restricting your voice?” The man questioned sharply.“No, sir,” Ryker replied. “I had to conduct a thorough search, sir.”“And did you find it?”Ryker bowed.“N–no, s–sir.”“Speak!” Lazik yelled.“No, sir!”“What did you just say?” Lazik asked as he walked towards him.“I could not find the core, sir. There was nothing, not even Crowe’s body.” Ryker dared to explain.“Nonsense!” the man spat, “how dare you tell me that?” he asked as he brought his hands up to Ryker’s neck and gripped it firmly.Ryker gagged and forced a cough as the hold on his throat was too tight.“Are you even deserving of being called a guard?”Ryker immediately shook his head.Lazik smiled. “Don’t
