Seeing how bad they were and his mission depends on saving the three of them, Stan said, “Ling, quick, we must get them to a hospital.”“No,” Rudo struggled to speak out even in his pain.“Save your strength, bro.” Ling said to him.But he wouldn’t listen as he knew that his time had come. “Leave me here. I can’t make it.”“We are not leaving you.” Ling Tingzhe and Stan Gibson disagreed strongly with him. Their focus was more on him because he was wounded in a more critical place than Trisha.“Thank you Gibson, I wanted you dead yet you are still here trying to save my life. I regret not giving you the chance for us to be friends and in my I wish we could be brothers.” Rudo said his last words as he drew his last breath.“No, no, no,” Ling cried as he shook the lifeless body of Rudo, focusing him to wake up. Aside from Rudo being his greatest competitor when it comes to speed, he was also a great friend and his death would so much affect him. He was not ready to lose him like that. “R
“Look out,” Rudo screamed the name of Trisha as he dived the alien that was about to smite her with its blade, removing focus from the one that was onto him. Now he had two of them facing him as Trisha laid on the ground because he had already been cut in her right leg therefore moving was very difficult.Rudo was onto the top of the alien that he had pushed to the ground and was releasing a series of blows on it even though it was pointless as they had hit those aliens with all they had yet there was no effect. While punching the alien hard, another stabbed him from the back causing him to cease the punch in pain.“Noooooo…” Stan showed up as he rushed the alien that had stabbed Rudo. Even Trisha the main reason why he chose to take on the task which Adoth had given him, he still did not want Rudo dead. Besides the system did not instruct him to save only Trisha, rather he was instructed to save the three of them meaning that if Rudo dies the task was not a success.Meanwhile the ali
“Ling, Ling, Ling….” Rudo kept calling out loud for Ling to stop.Initially Ling did not want to stop but since the call was becoming too loud that he could not resist again, he had to stop and wait for Rudo and Trisha who had followed him to come close.As they drew near, he did not give them a chance to speak, he first spoke. “Why are you two following me? I said you should return to Sullivan as you wish.” Trisha was quick to give him a response, “Rudo here refused to go without you.” Rudo had to now speak for himself. “You know how this works Ling, Master Sullivan expects us to come back together so it is not wise that I return alone. Stop going after Stan and let’s return to the others. Together we have a higher chance of beating him than if we are alone. You already saw that we couldn’t catch him alone.” “And who said anything about fighting him again?” Ling asked Rudo because he was not going after Stan to continue the fight but for something else.The question he asked was o
At the hearing of this, Stan’s countenance changed totally, he did not know what to do again. He was still looking at Trisha but it was obvious to her that his mind was no longer in the thing which she was saying.So Trisha had to bring his mind back from wherever it had gone. “Gibson, are you even listening to me?” While Trisha was trying to get his mind to come back to what she was talking about in order for him to agree with her, Ling was taking note of his strange behavior. Meanwhile Rudo was so focused on getting loose from the chair as he also wanted to know how Gibson could hide the power of his chip all the days he was in the Elite academy.“Of course, I heard you right. By the way, why do you care? I know you are only after your benefit.” Stan replied to Trisha.“Oh! Is that what it is now? I risked my life to warn of their plot to kill you. I guess that was also after my benefits. You ingrate.” Trisha had to spark up, showing Stan that he was not the only one who could get
Stan noticed he was being pursued and the moment he looked back to see it was Ling and Rudo whom Trisha had said was the weakest link, he was happy, so he looked for the next lonely street to take, somewhere he could easily take out the two of them, not necessarily killing them.As he took the turn, he stopped at a distance and waited for them. From his experience fighting those thugs, he knew that it would take some time before Sullivan and the other would end the fight but for sure, he knew that the thugs would lose. So it was for him to make good use of his time.Ling and Rudo were surprised to see that Stan stopped when he could have continued running, Rudo was the one to notice Stan’s fist showing that he wanted to fight them. “This is not necessary, Gibson.”“You know you can’t beat us, so surrender and come with us, you might be spared if we plead to the masters on your behalf.” Ling added.From the way they both sound, Stan could see the reason why Trisha said they were the we
Trisha thought she was the one he was talking to because she was the only person there with him who did not understand what he meant by that question as she did not hear what Adoth said. Stan was the only one that could hear what Adoth was saying.“How am I to know how many minutes you have before they arrive here?” “Shh… I wasn’t referring to you.”“Wh….” Trisha opened her mouth as she looked around to confirm that there was no other person around whom Stan could be referring to because she began to get scared after he told her that he wasn’t referring to her. It was a very strange behavior for a person to be talking to himself and that was what he was literally doing at this point. All the same she kept quiet as instructed while she watched him continue talking to himself.[Time is up. You have to fight.]“But I haven’t made a choice?” Stan became confused as he was given a specific option to act upon.[You no longer have an escape route and that leaves you with the option to fig
As the footstep proceeded to the corner where he was, he took action, forcing the person to the ground before looking to see who it was.“Gibson it’s me.”“Trisha!” Stan was not expecting her but all the same he let go and helped her back on her feet as he was short of words to say next.“Where did you learn to do that?” Trisha asked him because he was not that skilled when he was in the school. “Why are you stalking me? You’ve delivered your message and I really appreciate it.” Stan was indirectly asking her to go away. He didn’t understand why she was being nice all of a sudden so he couldn’t trust her action of following him.Trisha understood the true implication of his words, and had to answer based on what he truly meant. “I can’t go back to the school. They’ve tagged me a traitor for revealing their plan to you now I am wanted too.”“Well that is your cross to bear. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, you are the one who is augmented.” Stan said as he picked his bag ready t
Just as predicted, the path was quiet with Stan hiding by a corner of the street patiently waiting for his target to come that way so he could make his move. He had been there for about thirty minutes as he listened to the voice of the men conversing in the open space as they patrol the environment, probably for someone who would fall victim to them.While the conversation continued, he heard clearly when one of them excused himself to take a pee and that was a clear sign to tell that the time to act was now, so he became more ready than before as his heart beat increased drastically. It was the first time he was going to attack someone and most of all he did all whether they had implants in them and what kind it was.The man walked casually into the dark path to pee and as he stood facing the wall while he urinated, Stan sneaked up to him and stood steadily behind waiting for him to finish his pee.At the moment the man finished and was about to make a turn around, Stan landed his fa
