Every mainstream news channel was talking about the murder incident, portraying Kevin as the criminal and not even as the suspect.Sadia was sipping on fruit juice while watching the news. Rory was sitting right next to her.“You don’t drink fruit juice unless you’re happy,” Rory said. “Are you that happy because Kevin is gone?”“Haha, he never belonged here. And he’s finally gone,” Sadia laughed. “There’s no way he can come back from this. He’s going to get caught soon, and he will spend the rest of his life in jail.”“Do you really think he killed that woman AND the bodyguards?” Rory asked.“It doesn’t matter. He’s a nuisance, and he’s gone.”“No, it matters,” Rory said, slightly frowning. “If it’s Jack Shamus who’s behind the murder, I don’t think it’s a good idea to get close to him.”Sadia looked at him with a cold, condescending expression. “You’re going to become the head of Rory News. You’re going to deal with a hundred tasks that require you to be gray. That’s what news is al

In another room in the mansion.Brielle gave wine to Orland even though it was still daytime.“You seem really happy that Kevin is gone,” Orland chortled.“Well, we didn’t even have to push him out,” Brielle sipped on costly wine. “He ran away on his own volition.”“I gotta admit. He’s smart,” Orland said. “He left the mansion before the police could catch him. It’s as if he expected the police to storm here. On top of that, he didn’t get caught yet. I asked an officer I know if the department had any leads or not.”“They saw him enter an alley a few miles from here, and then he was gone,” Orland said. “He did not show up in any cameras.”Brielle frowned. “There must be an underground pathway in that place.”“Probably. He somehow knew about it and used it well. His moves are really surprising,” Orland laughed. “I can’t wait to see how long he’ll keep running. Do you think he will sneak into our mansion in the middle of the night to meet our daughter?”“C’mon, she never slept with him.

Elsewhere in the city.After it stopped raining, Kevin bought a hot dog from a mobile food truck and was walking down the sidewalk. He was wearing a mouth mask to cover his face.“Even with the proof I submitted, the police still don’t seem to think I’m innocent. The media isn’t even talking about my video. I didn’t think Jack Shamus had the ability to control all the big news channels. But… he can’t control social media.”Kevin started uploading the video on different platforms which allowed some level of blood and gore. Kevin had to mute or blur some parts just to get it cleared for some websites.“This should force the news channels to talk about it.” Kevin’s ears heard a cry ahead.He picked up pace and arrived at an ally.A woman was being held by two men.“Help!” she screamed desperately. “These people are raping me!”“Shut up!” they pushed her against the wall. “We’ll make it quick, so stop yapping!”Kevin walked toward them.They looked at him. “What? You want to join us? The

Kevin’s mobile ringtone was loud and annoying because it was the default ringtone.He had bought a new mobile and sim card so that the police couldn’t catch him.He answered the call, “Did you find anything?”“Nothing strange,” Kevin’s friend from Australia responded. “Jack Shamus is not behind your father’s debt. Your father played cards and lost a lot more than he won. The records are clear. He started a week after he came to this country, so he’s basically never stopped. I’m afraid he took your help for granted, Kevin.”Kevin’s jaw hardened. “Is there anything else?”“I talked with the casino owner. He said that the money lenders who gave money to your father have quieted down in the last twenty four hours. That’s not normal.”Kevin sucked in a breath. “Jack must have begun to move,” he clenched his fists. “To think that bastard would not even leave my father alone…. It’ll be humiliating if Jack were to pay my father’s debt.”“What are you going to do then?” his friend asked. “It’s

“Are you freaking kidding me now?” Kevin couldn’t believe it. “How could you seal my skill in the middle of my fight? And my life is only worth 1 million dollars?”[You brought this on yourself.] The system’s voice mimicked Brielle’s slang. [You don’t listen to your enemies’ commands. You make them listen to your commands.]“Hey, I didn’t obey his command. I tricked him into thinking that I did. How is that shameful? Nothing is shameful when it comes to survival.”[That’s why you cleaned toilets in your in-laws’ mansion for three years. You’d do anything to survive.]Kevin frowned, especially because he felt that the system was mimicking Brielle.[You cannot show off with cheap trickery!] the system warned him again. [What you say must be powerful, not weak! And what you do afterward must surpass your words! That’s how you must complete tasks. The problem isn’t with you closing your eyes, but you closing them when your opponent told you to.]Kevin slowly shook his head and said aloud,
