The swarm of military drones descended.Not like birds or machines but like a storm that had chosen their targets.Red targeting beams snapped on.Hundreds of thin lines painted Kevin’s body from every angle.The hum sharpened.Then—FIRE.A barrage of bullets tore through the air.Kevin did not move.The bullets struck his upper body and shred his shirt to pieces, but they could not pierce through his skin that was tougher than steel.Kevin flexed his muscles and repelled them.The bullets flew back and struck some of the drones, but these drones tanked the bullets and kept going.Kevin moved.He blurred sideways and dodged the laser beams that struck where he had been.The drones relentlessly targeted him with laser beams, but they could not land a hit on him.He kept shifting like a dancer in the zone.And he never lost his sight of any drone.“There are too many of them,” Kevin thought. “I thought they’d come down, but they’re all attacking me from a height. How can I destroy all o

Inside the car store.“Did you see the news, sir?” an employee was talking with the manager. “The president has come to our city for the funeral of a billionaire.”“What’s special about that?”“He didn’t come with his security. He came with a driver and some hot chick. It’s become a hot topic online.”“Well, you gotta be rich or powerful if you want to pull chicks like magnets,” the manager said. “Or at least you gotta look like one.”“I wanted to see the president once.”“Wait until the next elections, and you’ll see him when he comes here to campaign,” the manager was saying, and just then, Shevron entered through the front door.The manager chortled. “Look, I’m seeing the president come into our store. I guess I didn’t get a good sleep last night.”“Mm?” the worker looked toward the entrance and said, “I can see him, too, sir.”And that’s when it hit them.“M-M-Mr. President!” the manager and the employee ran over to him.“I want to buy a car, but before that, I want to get changed

Kevin, Sariyu and Shevron traveled in a Mercedes Maybach.They did not encounter any trouble ahead.He dropped Sariyu off at a hotel, then took Shevron home.After dropping Shevron at home, Shevron asked Kevin, “Are you going to come for me again?”“That depends on how well you will clear my name… sir,” Kevin replied.“I will prove your innocence,” Shevron assured, “within 24 hours. But in return, can you do one favor for me?”“What is it?”“Just a minute,” Shevron went inside and brought out a file with him. “There’s information about a particular group inside.”“A group?”“A powerful corporate-political syndicate. They are quietly taking over the capital city,” Shevron replied. “Not through violence… but through debt, contracts, and influence. Many billionaires are already in their clutches.”Kevin stared at the president. “Your allies are also caught in their clutches, huh…”“Not just my allies.”“Mm, fine. I’ll look into it.”Shevron held Kevin’s hand. “I know you have a lot of th

At Rizzer hotel.Cecilia just finished selling her flat for the same price she bought.As she was leaving, Adam Conreid was waiting for her at the elevator. “You shouldn’t have sold the flat. I don’t know what caused you inconvenience, but if you had asked me, I would have given you the entire hotel.”“You are that inconvenience,” Cecilia retorted.Adam smiled. “Maybe, but compared to Kevin, I’m much better, don’t you think? Kevin is a national criminal. He’s never going to be free. You can never hold his hand or walk with him in the street. There’s no future for him, Cecilia. But look at me. I own this hotel. I make millions from it every month without lifting a finger. And I will give this to you as a gift if you accept my heart. Just give me a nod, and I’ll arrange for the engagement tomorrow itself.”“Move,” Cecilia uttered.She entered the elevator, and he also got in.Adam took out his mobile and started taking a selfie video. “My darling is standing by me…”Cecilia was startled

After Kevin was cleared of all the charges put on him, many people celebrated it across the country.The O’Brian family members had mixed reactions.“I knew he was innocent,” Orland spoke with his wife, “but I never expected him to prove his innocence. How did he pull this off?”“I still can’t understand how he managed to get the president to visit aunt’s funeral ceremony,” Brielle said, sipping on wine. “It looks like we’ve severely underestimated him.”“Cecilia used to say that we’re underestimating him,” Orland said, smiling a bit.Brielle exhaled audibly.Both of them were sitting on the balcony in the big mansion.Their sons, daughter, and daughter-in-laws were not living in this mansion anymore.So, the mansion felt quite empty, and they were feeling dull.“Did you call her and ask her to come back?” Brielle looked at him.“I did. She said she’s selling her flat in the Rizzer hotel,” Orland replied.Brielle was surprised. “So she’s coming back?”“No, she’s buying another flat,”
