CHAPTER THIRTY-ONEKai looked at Lucy, but she didn’t seem like she was going to repeat herself. He sighed gently, and then he started to walk gradually toward the device while he looked at it with thoroughness.Kai was stopped from walking by the sound of the door which he heard opening, even though the sound was soft. He turned almost immediately and saw Mr. Ronald walking in together with Sarah and Matthew.As soon as Lucy saw the three of them, she moved forward to the device and unbuckled one of the straps, making it ready to hold onto Kai’s hand.“Go on.” Mr. Ronald urged with a smile on his face, but Kai seemed to be skeptical about getting on the device.“What does it do?” He asked, stealing a look at the device.“We just want to check if there are any radioactive sequences in your body. This is just a routine check, a precautionary procedure to be free of every form of doubt.” Matthew said with a smile that was meant to make Kai trust them.“How come I haven’t heard of it? No

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEKai stood right in front of the tall Awakeners Headquarters mansion, and the thought of the new beginning crept into his mind. He sighed greatly and looked around, and then he turned to leave.“Gina?” He whispered as soon as he saw the young beautiful girl approaching from afar. He looked carefully to be sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him.“What the hell is she doing here?”With the thought of uncertainty and confusion all around him, Kai changed his course and moved towards the girl who was approaching from a distance.“She looks like she is looking for someone, maybe she is looking for me.” Kai smiled at the thought of Gina coming to the Headquarters to look for him. He hastened his steps towards her.“Gina! Hey Gina!” He beckoned, but the lady in front of him looked confused for a few seconds. The voice was familiar but she was having a little difficulty identifying the owner of the voice in the darkness.“It's me, Kai“Kai?” Gina exclaimed with her eyebrows r

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE“What?”“Yes! Show me!” Gina pulled over at once and turned off the ignition of the car.“I want to see this System you are talking about Kai.” She said excitedly with her hands letting go of the steering wheel. She turned to Kai with a smile.“Go on!” She said with a voice a little louder than the usual tone.“Here?”“Yes right here, or is there any other place you would rather choose to show me?”Kai paused for a bit, he really didn’t want to disappoint his girlfriend, so he looked at her and put up a gloomy face.“Don’t you trust me Emy?”“Of course I do, don’t be silly.” Gina retorted immediately with a slight frown on her face but still accompanied by a persistent look.“Then why are you acting as though you don’t?”“Don’t do that Kai, I just want to see how it works.”Kai sighed heavily, then he looked at Gina and her face refused to brighten up, she seemed so eager to see what the System could do and nothing was going to change her mind.“Look Emy, it just d

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENKai looked into the room, but there was no one there, just the sight of the entire place turned into a ramshackle.The books on the table were torn to pieces and scattered all over the floor, as the table itself was on the floor, broken into unrecognizable fragments, even the curtains were torn apart, and the cushions were kept upside down. The sight he beheld was obvious evidence that the house was broken into.Kai swallowed hard, and then trying to ease the tension that engulfed his entire body, he took in enough air, and then he let it out slowly, as the feeling of uncertainty and fright took over his entire body.“What is going on here? Kai…” Before Gina could be able to finish up the words that she had in mind, Kai placed his right index finger on her lips, causing her to keep mute, and then he placed his left index finger over his own lips, gesturing to her to be quiet.Gina sighed but not in relief, as she looked at Kai with an inquisitive stare, still not

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE“Please, don’t hurt them, don’t hurt them, I beg you.”“That depends on how ready you are to cooperate.” The distorted voice said almost immediately, and the words caused a little distortion in Kai’s mind, as he thought about anyone who could be responsible for that situation.“I will send a location to this phone, and I need you to follow all the instructions that I will give to you. One wrong move, and you should be ready to kiss goodbye to your mum and your dying sister.”“Please, you don’t have to harm any of them, I will do whatever you want, anything at all!”“Good! You will receive a message in three, two, one.”Kai heard a chime on the phone, and at once, he withdrew it from his ear and looked at the screen to see the message that popped up at once.“Number five Chariot Street.” He whispered to himself, and then at once, he replaced the phone to his ear.“I have seen the address. I will be there soon.”“Ten minutes Kai, you have ten minutes.”“But that’s to
