CHAPTER 87
Catherine wrapped her arms around her knees that were pressed to her chest, twisting her face in irritation as memories of what happened about two days ago came resurfacing.She watched Adrian brutally smash Sebastian's head against a pillar in the room. He smashed it so hard that one would think it was a truck that ran him over. And not just once. Continuously.Sitting in the corner of the room she was given by the group, she knew she had to rethink her decision. 'What would be my fate if I betray him and he knows?’She shook her head at the thought of that. Maybe that was no longer supposed to be a question. Not with what she had just seen, there was no way she was going to survive it if he ever finds out.“I've got to tell Theodore,” she picked up a navy-blue shirt that stopped just beneath her breast, and a glance at the mirror told her she was good to go.Immediately she turned the doorknob, a sudden gasp escaped her throat. “How long have you been staying here?”She rolled her
CHAPTER 86
“All these, just to prove no one is above the system?” Ashford's voice boomed across the room and he could only laugh at the thought of it.Apparently, he also got the information about the upcoming event, and at first he was completely unbothered but after seeing that participation was not optional he became concerned. Still, he could not bring himself to believe the fact that the system would allow someone of his calibre to participate in something like that.“Well, it seems like it's going to be a group. Although, we don't know how many people are going to be selected,” Freya scrolled through her system's window while her gaze darted between Brandon and Ashford at intervals.One was due to her duties. As for Brandon, she could not just stop thinking about the sudden change. 'Not in a place like this,’ she shut her eyes for a brief second.Ashford also opened his window, scanning through it with a stern expression and gritted teeth. The first place his eyes went to was the amount o

“Oh my goodness, we're so fucked!” Matthias threw both hands above his head, clearly thrown into a state of disbelief like he had just received the most terrible news of his life. So far, he was the only one who had been able to say anything since Joshua passed the information to them with his phone placed on the center table in the room. After all, there was no need to call an urgent meeting in the supposed location. The meeting room.They had never seen Joshua thrown into a state like that before.Shaken. Bewildered. And above all, speechless.“Okay, this has to be really crazy right now,” Jasper sunk into the couch he was sitting on while expressing his frustration with a scoff. “You mean we're going to be selected?”No one had an answer to that, since it was only a speculation.“Jeez man, what's the worst that could—”“Please, Benjamin, just shut up,” Alice rolled her eyes at him with a sudden click of her tongue. “Look, we're already in a shitty position already okay?”“Don't a
CHAPTER 84
Joshua had been seated in the corner of the compound for a while, but as the sun rose, he had no other choice than to find a shade, due to how scorching it was.Well, that was not going to be hard to find, and without staying another second he changed his location, while looking at the building from below.Three names kept ringing in his head, and even when he tried to distract himself it was just impossible to actually forget about it. He could have stayed upstairs, distract himself, but instead, he chose to sit alone.'Maybe I don't want to stop thinking about it,’ he crossed his arms above his chest with a low exhale.Among the three names, Ashford's name took the number one spot since Joshua had done the calculations, and he figured Ashford was on the route to being the one with the most first place spots.'How many times exactly has he been granted a wish?’ Joshua could not hide his expression. He was not even willing to do that since it seemed to him like it was one of those ran
CHAPTER 83
It was unlike Sebastian or anyone in that gathering to do that, so everyone seemed pretty invested in what he was about to say, while watching every one of his movements.'What was he going to say?’'Can he just shut up already?’'I really hope he does not make a fool of himself this time?’Different murmurs emerged from different corners of the room, and even Paul and other associates that had conspired against Catherine and Theodore looked confused.One could tell that whatever he was about to say at that moment, they had no hand in it at all. But they had come too far for them to back off.Moreover, they were likely going to suffer the same fate as him if things went south, so they had to quickly adjust in their sitting position, replacing the ignorant expression with something close enough to be tagged ‘confidence.’“Why do you keep looking at Larissa? You should speak up immediately or I'll walk out of this place,” Adrian's eyes had began to become dull as though he was already s
CHAPTER 82
“Larissa,” the unmistakable joy in Adrian's tone filled the room, and he was back on his feet again.Adrian had ordered one of the members to go on search of Larissa without telling her what he needed her for and that was pretty much the reason why her expression was masked with confusion.“You called for me.”Adrian nodded while directing her towards the vacant seat at his left. “I did.”The woman pushed her hair behind her while surveying the room with her eyes moving from Catherine to Theodore, then Gideon and his other associates.“May I ask why?”“Where did you go this morning?” Adrian demanded without looking at her. Not even once.Once again she looked around, trying to understand what was happening, but eventually she just had to go on with the answer rather than adding to the tension in the space.“My morning walk as usual,” she answered with a slight raise of her chin. “Malia followed me, so if you're doubting me you can—”She was interrupted when Adrian raised his hand.“I'
