Chapter 78
Peter grew increasingly anxious as time went by, especially after noticing that the card Tristan had given him had begun displaying a countdown. He couldn't concentrate on his work because his mind kept imagining all the possible outcomes.Time seemed to fly by, and soon only two hours remained before the meeting. Peter grew even more restless, despite trying to act as normally as possible. He had no idea what to do to prepare for his encounter with Tristan.Peter let out a long sigh and got into the car. He stared out the window at the passing traffic and towering skyscrapers. The city's nighttime atmosphere only added to his anxiety, making him increasingly uneasy.Peter had only increased the number of bodyguards accompanying him that day. He had also brought a pistol and a pair of electric gloves as precautions. Yet when he compared his preparations to Tristan's abilities, he couldn't help feeling foolish.“Tristan can create things with his hands. With his knowledge and advanced

Clara and the two other candidates waited in a room for the announcement of the results.“Cindy,” Clara said as soon as the call connected. She stood near the window, gazing at the cityscape from high above.“How did it go, Clara?” Cindy asked while organizing the documents on her desk. “You got the job, didn't you?”“I'm waiting for the results right now. I'm so nervous.” Clara let out a long sigh. “I... honestly don't think I'm going to get the job, Cindy. I made a mistake.”“Come on, Clara. I'm sure you can get it.” Cindy rose from her chair and walked toward the window. “Even though you don't have any experience yet, I'm sure you did a good job...”“Do you know of any other job openings, Cindy?” Clara looked up, holding back her tears. “I'm sorry. I just want to have a backup plan.”Cindy fell silent for a moment. She felt sorry for Clara and her current situation. There wasn't much she could do to help, aside from sharing information about a few job openings. After all, she had b

Peter ignored Clara when they crossed paths in the lobby.Clara took a few steps back as Peter's bodyguards walked closely beside him. She lowered her head for a moment, watching Peter as he continued walking away.She let out a long sigh and entered the lobby, greeting several employees along the way."I can't dwell on the past right now. Today is an important day for me. I can't afford to make any mistakes if I want this job."Peter entered the room. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, his encounter with Tristan the previous day came back to mind."The card contains a number and an email address. Even so, I still haven't decided whether to contact Tristan. Although everything he said sounded convincing, especially what he told me about my family and a man named Patrick, I still can't bring myself to trust him completely.""However, if I keep putting off my decision, Tristan will probably show up again in some unexpected way, just as he did yesterday."Peter massaged his temples seve

Peter was taken aback, staring at Tristan without blinking.The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, even though the café was bustling with activity. Customers came and went, while the waiters hurried around, attending to their orders.Tristan smiled. “Even if you don't answer, I already know what your answer would be. And even if you did answer, I could tell whether you were being honest or not.”Peter tried to remain calm as the worst-case scenarios continued running through his mind. He had never expected to meet Tristan, a dangerous man with access to highly advanced technology. And to make matters worse, he had no idea how to get out of this situation.“Like I told you before, I'm not a bad person. In fact, I'm the one who saved you, and I'll also protect you from the evil group that's most likely going to capture you, just as they did Paul, Maya, and Patrick.”“So they really do have special abilities?” Peter asked, seeking confirmation.“Ah, so you've already suspected that. Your gu

A car pulled over in front of a café.Peter stepped out and briefly surveyed his surroundings. The streets were bustling tonight with vehicles and pedestrians passing by.“I'm glad Miss Bianca asked to meet me tonight. Not only will I get to see how she's doing for myself, but I'll also find out what she wants to tell me.”Just as he was about to enter the café, Peter suddenly stopped when he saw someone walking out.“That's... Sam, Sean's older brother. He looks...”“Peter,” Sam called as he approached. “I... I want to apologize for the way Sean treated you on campus. I know it won't change anything, but...”“Have you found any clues about Sean?” Peter interrupted, glancing through the café window. He spotted Bianca sitting in a corner.“I saw Sean with a man inside a car this morning. Sean drove south. Unfortunately, I lost track of him before I could find out anything about the man. I couldn't get a clear look at him, either.”“I'm glad to hear that. The man might be Sean's friend
Chapter 73
Heavy rain had been pouring since the previous night, only letting up as morning approached. Several news outlets were still reporting on the award ceremony incident, along with floods and landslides in several cities.The streets were crowded with vehicles, while pedestrians filled the sidewalks. Cold gusts of wind occasionally swept through the congested streets.Seno sat on the sofa, staring at Sean, who lay unconscious on the floor. As he rubbed the corner of his mouth, memories of the previous night's events suddenly flooded back.Seno had been shocked when Sean suddenly vanished, only to reappear inside the car a few seconds later, unconscious. The car had nearly collided with another vehicle and crashed into a road barrier. When they finally arrived home, Sean had suddenly become hysterical. He failed to recognize Seno, attacked him, and even tried to escape.Seno still had no definite explanation for what had happened. However, he believed that Sean's brief disappearance had w
