CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOMira groaned, and then she increased the velocity of the car, driving right into the narrow road that Riley had pointed to.In less than a minute, they were out of the narrow road and found themselves on the main road, away from the rest of the cars who had been waiting for the large truck to be done with driving into the building.Riley sighed heavily when he saw that the road was free, as there were just a few vehicles in front of them.“I think that’s the address, right there!” He said, as soon as he saw the address that was written boldly on the wall of the tall building.“Are you sure? That looks like an abandoned building.” Mira said, struggling with the feeling of uncertainty that had crept into her body, but Riley was persistent and was certain that it was the location the caller had sent to him.“I really hope you are right, Riley. I don’t want to get into any trouble because of you.” Mira said as she reduced the speed of the car, and looked through the win

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURThe man was silent for a few seconds, but the look on Riley’s face showed great determination, and he wasn’t ready to give it up, even though he felt a bit anxious about it.“Very well, if you insist.” The man said, and Riley widened his eyes staring at the screen in high anticipation.A few seconds later, the screen went blank instantly, and Riley became really anxious, hoping hadn’t ruined everything for himself.His face remained really anxious until after a few seconds when the screen came back on in a flash and made an electric sound. Riley gasped instantly as soon as he saw the sight on the screen.“Mum? Mum!” He said loudly, but the poor woman couldn’t hear him, as she struggled to free herself from the tight grip of the chains around her hands, but her efforts were futile. She muffled several screams, but the tape around her mouth couldn’t let her be audible.Riley felt his heart wrenching as he looked at the sight of his mother in a large empty room, sitt

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX“How sure are you that he got the right person?”“Hank never fails me, Hooger. Besides, I have my source.”“Well, I hope your intel is right this time. I won’t accept any other case of failure!”Hooger glared his eyes at Seth, causing him to shiver slightly, as he forcefully gulped saliva down his throat, taking two steps backward.“I have worked for this for years, and I won’t tolerate any other failure. You know what will happen if I don’t get results this time.”“I…I…I won’t fail you, I promise!” Seth said with a shaky voice, trying as much as he could to make his breathing stable, but his heartbeat didn’t help out in any way.“The system is the key to my dominance, I will stop at nothing to make sure that the Earth is cleansed of every weak awakened, and that only the supreme dwells in it. My crusade is going to purge the earth of all weak humans, and together, we shall claim dominance of other dimensions.”Hooger gave out a sinister laughter which made Seth st

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTRiley panicked, but that didn’t stop the scientist from moving closer to him with the taser sparking electric charges.“No! Please, don’t! That’s gonna hurt! I beg you!”Riley struggled to free himself from the tight grip of the straps, but his efforts were fruitless. He strained and grunted, shaking his body profusely, but that didn’t change anything.“Remain calm, I am just going to give you a little shock, I am sure that this will be enough to trigger the System. Hopefully, this will happen on the first shock.”The scientist had a grin on his face, but Riley was frightened, as his eyes widened in fear, looking at the electric sparks from the taser.“No! No! Please.” He pleaded, but he was too late, as his words meant nothing to the scientist who was determined to get the result he needed.“Aah!” Riley screamed, as the electric charges from the taser went into his nerves, and shocked the hell out of him, causing him to shake profusely as though he was in convuls

CHAPTER FORTY“Then you better start talking!”Riley moved the taser toward his head, eager to discharge enough electrical shocks into him in case he failed to speak.The scientist looked at the taser, and his heart skipped more beats, even though he seemed to have proven stubborn at first, and was willing to hold onto his decision.“Wait! Wait! I will speak.” He said with a shaky voice, but that wasn’t enough to make Riley withdraw the taser, which was a few inches away from Seth’s neck.“Go on, you have ten seconds. Nine!…Eight!”“They are held up in a room here in the lab!”“Where? Where is the room? How do I locate it?”Seth whimpered, and then he took another look at the taser, and his breath almost left him.“Five!”“They are up! By the end of the hall, the last room by the left!”“Are you sure?”“Yes! I am not lying, they are there!”Riley looked at him for a few seconds, while he continued to shake amidst the tension that was rising in his body.“Well, I hope you are telling t
