CHAPTER 11: The One He Shot.Zero’s face was still covered in a slightly, dangerous smile when the System spoke again.[CORRECTION.]His expression changed."What now?"[YOU CURRENTLY DO NOT POSSESS ENOUGH KARMA POINTS TO AFFECT AN ORGANIZATION.]His smile disappeared completely. "So I can be able to pass on judgement on them if I have the necessary points?" [INDEED.]He let out a low breath. "How many points do I need?"[YOU ARE NO WHERE CLOSE TO ENOUGH RIGHT NOW.]"That’s not an answer."[IT IS THE ONLY ANSWER YOU REQUIRE.]Zero shook his head in irritation. "So I need to gather enough points before I can touch the firm... or Marcus’ company."[EXACTLY.]He gripped the steering wheel tighter, and started the car. "Then I guess I will just have to judge them individually for now."__________A few minutes later, he slowed down at an intersection. Up ahead, a small crowd had gathered on the sidewalk.A police cruiser was parked to the side, it's head lights was on.A black man was pi

CHAPTER 13: Enemy And Killer Of JusticeGina studied Zero for a long moment. Processing the offer that he had just made her. Finally she spoke..."Zero, you are a brilliant lawyer. But you don’t have a foundation right now. No office or registered entity. Not a single secured client. And you are in the middle of a reputational storm right now.""What do you mean by a reputational storm? I know that what happened in court last time must have affected my public image a bit, but that was more than a week ago. Moreover, after saving those people from the bus accident last time, I am pretty sure that I am a hero in public's eyes." Zero voiced out."I am not talking about that... I am talking about your recent public backlash from this afternoon." She clarified."What public backlash?" Zero asked."Haven't you seen the news?" Gina retorted, and pulled out her phone to show zero the day's trending video. His support of a white cop manhandling a fellow black man.As he watched the video, Zero

CHAPTER 15: Damn That BacherBacher and the other man spoke for a long time, before the man stood up and shook Bacher's hand, then he left."Is there no way of knowing what they talked about?" One of the men sitting at the table, (the second third in command) asked."Unfortunately not. Like I said earlier, the microphone wasn't retrieved... And is still very much likely in the hands of the man who made the video." The second man said."And you don't know who this man is?" The second in command asked. "No. My brother said that he hasn't seen him around before", the man replied."Hmmm...""It's alright, we can just ask Bacher ourselves." The boss said. Then he looked directly at the third in command."Ricky, take some men, and find that son of a b*tch named Bacher."Ricky nodded. "Do you want us to bring him... alive?"The Boss gave a small smile. "Oh yes." His eyes hardened. "I want to hear his explanation... while he cries.""I will get to it then." Ricky said immediately.As he stoo

CHAPTER 17: Deal With The Bastard.The old man's fingers tightened around Zero’s trousers like iron claws."You think you can wreck my motel and walk away?" he barked loudly. "Someone call the cops!""You senile old fool. I told you already... I wasn't the one that did this." Zero said angrily, but the old man refused to listen.A few curious faces were already starting to appear along the hallway. Doors creaked open as motel guests leaned out to watch the commotion.Zero clenched his jaw. "Listen to me carefully," he said in a low voice. "You don’t want the police involved in this."The old man snorted. "Oh really?"Zero leaned closer, his voice dropping even lower."Yes. Because the moment they arrive, I will start talking about the illegal cash payments that you collect from gangsters and thugs, for them to run their illegal operations here. Think about the drugs that move through this place every night. If the cops started snooping around, most of your clients will leave. Think ab

CHAPTER 19: What The F*cking Sorcery The first boulder hit the ground with a loud rattling thud, right in the middle of Zero and the bikers. It caused a little tremor, and a crater formed right where it had fallen.[I WON'T REPEAT MYSELF AGAIN. YOU BETTER GET MOVING!!]Zero was shaken, but he didn’t dare wait another second. The moment the second boulder hit the ground, he sprinted toward his car.Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! Came the sound as more big rocks hit the ground.Behind Zero, the bikers realized the same thing at almost the same time."What the f*cking sorcery?""SHIT! MOVE! MOVE!"Engines roared to life as the bikers scrambled back onto their motorcycles. Tires screeched against the tar as they all rushed toward the only road down the mountain.Zero slammed his car door shut and jammed the key into the ignition. The engine roared. Then he hit the accelerator.The race down the mountain began.Behind them, the mountain itself had awakened. A massive boulder tore free from the clif
