As soon as Adrian Blood walked into the middle of the street, his golden coloured car wheeled into the scene. It looked so new as if nothing had ever happened to it in the first place.

"Your car is ready, CEO Blood". The system announced. Now that Adrian had signed the company contract forms, he was now officially the new CEO of Waters Corporation.

"Nice." Adrian jumped into the vehicle, his blood travelled in a rush. His mind dwarted through space and time. Now that he knew where she was, he needed to save his foster mother. "How many more minutes do I have?"

The timer blinked before his very eyes. One hour and thirty minutes. The clock had counted down fast, but that was enough time. That was just as much time as he needed.

"If you complete today's mission, then you will be able to level up. At the next level, a special power will be bestowed to you. A power beyond imagination".

Adrian grew in anticipation. He knew that he needed all the power the system had to offer for him to aven

    Darkness loomed ahead. The day was pretty much in its early stages, but the road ahead announced night to the approaching visitors. That was how ghost village had always been. Shrouded in darkness by some crazy intervention of the planetary constellations, it was never day in that place. It was the seat of the most dangerous crimes and the most dangerous criminals. It was also the place the elites of this city chose to alienate and isolate those people who have stood against them, to torture them and eliminate them."We are within borderline of the ghost village. Is there a particular destination for us?" The head officer asked. Unlike the rest of the officers, he was seated in Adrian's car right beside him. He looked quite concerned too. The ghost village was a no go place for the police. Only the hired hands of the inner circle had the freedom to roam these parts. Although this head officer had once before tried to investigate the ghost village, the entire police force stood against

    "YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME. YOU HAVE TO FIND HER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!"Adrian went head on with the guards who had come to deter them. Using his vital points, he fought through the gunshots and the stabs. Officer Micheal was distracted with his own portion of the fight, so he did not see the impossible feats Adrian was completing.The tracker in the system was now working again, glowing in lights of red to announce Miranda Lambert's location. Adrian knew his foster mother was just paces away. A little more of this and a little more of that, he would soon find her.As he navigated his way forward, the inside of the house was dark and there was no telling who could be lurking in the shadows."Help!" A voice rang through the stairways. It was not any random voice, it was the voice that had been his comfort as a child."I'm coming;" He called back without much thought, racing up the stairs."YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT." The system added more pressure to the business.Up the stairs, he hurried. H

    In the centre of the city, the day shone its brightest. The cars flashed and the people strolled, leaving it as peaceful as it could be. A giant restaurant stood in the middle of it all and an expensive vehicle stopped right next to it.Dressed in all black, a pair of glass shades on his eyes, Ricardo made his way into the restaurant. A search over here and there, he finally found what he was looking for. Whom he was looking for. She sat at the far side of the room, half clothed and half exposed, her bare skin glowing and her face in glitters, a hot cup of coffee in front of her. That was just the Amanda Wallers he remembered. The savage, sharp, proud and extremely wild Amanda Wallers, his ex girlfriend."Long time no see, Amanda." He walked up to her, bearing a old grunt as he passed. On a normal day, Amanda was leagues below his level. Yes she was hot and all, but she just was not his type. But only because of her mother's position within the non CEO Waters Corporation did his fathe

    The last drop of sand landed with a silent thud, leaving her soul to travel in peace. Adrian stood before the gravestone, his tears by his side. Now beneath the earth was the only mother he ever truly knew. The one who raised him, protected him and saved them when his father's enemies came for him."Mother..." The silent cries behind him.Uncle George held Helena as the girl sobbed continuously. Adrian had decided to hide Miranda's death from her, he knew she would be so broken. But George had convinced him otherwise. He said that there were no secrets in blood. If his sister hadn't kept so much secrets from him, maybe she would still be alive now, he said.Helena broke loose and stormed forward again, falling on her knees in front of her mother's dust. "Mummy..." She cried.Adrian went to his knees and hugged the little one. "Don't worry, mum," he said. "I will protect Helena from every monster in this world. I will keep her safe and make sure she grows up to be a strong and success

    Adrian kept a good eye on Jacob and Helena. If the system was being true, then the boy had some dark mission he cane to perpetrate with his sister. Why else did he show up here all of a sudden? But Helena found out what he was doing and she did not like it."Leave us alone," she said. "I am not a child and you are not my parent. I don't want to see you right now."Once Jacob stopped at a kiosk to buy a pair of ice-cream. Adrian thought it must be poison. That must be his plan to take out his sister. He asked the boy to drink from Helena's cup, he did without question."See. I told you to leave us alone!" The girl stamped away, covered in anger. The boy ran after her. Yet Adrian was not convinced."You should stop worrying for no reason." Uncle George stood beside him. "If she is going to get over her mother's death, then she should be allowed a little freedom. Jacob is a good boy who knows how to make her smilr. Leave them alone for now."Adrian still had his doubts, afterall he was

    Adrian checked the rewards tab one more time but there was nothing for him. Did this mean he wasn't able to save his sister? Or the system just deemed it unnecessary to reward for the filler mission? Whatever it was, he tried not to think about it.The car stopped in front of the beautiful mansion. Adrian observed the house in awe. It was magnificent and it only belonged to his new secretary. It was crazy how money was so sufficient to some people. Some people could be so rich that even a secretary would live like a queen while some so poor even a meal was not likely. He wondered how much each member of the inner circle must actually possess compare to the modest lie they put out on their net worths.Mrs Wallers was standing outside, anticipating eagerly. "Welcome Mr CEO..." A stare from Adrian and she remembered her mistake. "Sorry, welcome Mr Blood."Nobody must find out Adrian's true capacity. This was important for him to achieve his plans. Infact he had categorically instructed

    Helena had never seen the beauties of the city upclose like she did today. She didn't think that Jacob had seen it too, but he did not look as astounded as she thought he would. The sky was different, the trees too, even the air. She had always read about trains and planes and luxurious cars, today she had seen almost all of that. She was even travelling in a subway train now, it was the most exciting ride she had ever had. The tunnels were a work of magic and the thrill of journey was something she could not contain.What made it even more perfect was that Jacob was with her. It was exactly as she dreamt. To explore golden adventures with her boyfriend by her side. Just like a perfect love story.She looked into his eyes, he was smiling but she knew the smile was not true. She could see it. She could see beyond the facade. This was all Adrian's fault. He had attacked Jacob brutally that time and tried to kill him. And for what? They were just making out. That was not their first time

    "What are they doing here?" Mrs Wallers was met with suprise as she took a glance down the window. She had not invited any guests, particularly not a member of the Rodriguez family, particularly not Ricardo Rodriguez. What was he looking for? Why had he come here?"I have to leave." Adrian headed out towards the door, not minding that he would come face to face with those miscreants."Wait! Mr Blood. There is another way." She stopped him. Holding Adrian by the hands, Mrs Wallers led them to a secret backdoor that would lead them to safety.But right outside, Ricardo Rodriguez was still waiting for his signal before he would proceed and suprise the new CEO.His servant came forward and bowed. "James Halton has reported to the Chairman. He says that the sister of the new Waters CEO has been captured."Ricardo held the man by the throat and sneered. "Do not ever call that fraud a CEO to my ears, do you understand?"The man struggled with coughs as he was released. He continued shakily,

    As the chairman tilted his head to confirm that there was nobody there with them, he was ready to spill the secret. Adrian Blood leaned to those shadows, and he was not sighted even for a moment. Yet the chairman decided to speak in whispers."Hey, system. I need to use my vital points. Enhanced hearing!" Adrian Blood chose at once, and the system quickly obeyed. The whispers became loud in his ears, and he heard every single word clearly."Your mother was not the only one who cheated." Federico told his son the truth. He needed not to explain in higher terms, no did he needed to narrate the entire history before the understanding could reach Ricardo's mind.Many years ago, young Federico Rodriguez had had to marry Evelyn for the annexation of her family's wealth. At that time, the Rodriguez family had only less than a tenth of their current wealth. With Evelyn's family company Holdings, the Rodriguez company would skyrocket into the skies. The marriage was quick and blessed by both f

    Following the faint memories in his head, Adrian Blood found the paths that led downstairs. The way was unfamiliar, and the system helped him very little. Then he was about to give up when he heard their voices, father and son. After that came their footsteps, edging towards his direction from the right side.Adrian Blood quickly lodged himself away from their path. He leaned against the wall as Federico Rodriguez and Ricardo passed slowly, almost in silence now. That was until Ricardo broke the silence again. "So you are not angry at me?" He asked his father, who was in front. The chairman walked slowly and calmly, even though by the gait of his advance, one could tell how much of a hurry he actually was. He wanted to meet this Hans Zimmer as soon as possible. He had a lot of questions that he needed to ask him. He did not expect that Ricardo would be the one to burden him with questions along the way. Yet he still found the need to give him an answer."No, Ricardo. You are not the

    When Ricardo Rodriguez and Federico Rodriguez were ironing out that issue, Adrian Blood was busy kissing their sister and daughter in all the right places, yet he was privy to everything they discussed. Every word they said, every statement they made."CEO BLOOD, THE RECORDING WILL NOT CONTINUE ONCE THE CHAIRMAN LEAVES THE ROOM WITH HIS SON..." The system informed Adrian as soon as Federico and Ricardo walked towards the door and were ready to leave the room.Adrian did not feel a loss at that point. He had been able to get a little from their little conversation. Now he knew that Ricardo Rodriguez was the one who captured Hans Zimmer after all. He also knew where the poor man was being held now, he knew where to look for him.If Hans Zimmer was abducted by Ricardo Rodriguez, did that mean that Amanda Wallers was also in that basement? Adrian needed to find out. He needed to follow the chairman and his son secretly, he needed to see the basement for himself. But he was stuck with Lya

    "You are wrong, father. I did not take Hans Zimmer just to gain your honour." Ricardo said, cutting the chairman off his inferences and conclusions. "I did not kidnap him to gain your recognition."The chairman stared back into his son's eyes. "Then why?" He asked with his low voice, hard and thick.Ricardo attempted to say something, but then he held his tongue and remained silent. He could not say the truth. "I can't." He muttered.Where was he going to start from. How he grew so jealous of his sister that he decided to murder her? How he realized that he was no match for Lyana's genius so he attempted to kill her not once, not twice and not even thrice? He just could not do it.Meanwhile, Federico's suspicions only grew deeper with his reluctance. Maybe Adrian Blood was right after all. Ricardo had devilish plans towards his own father. Why else would he keep it a secret? Why else would he be unable to tell him what was on his mind? Why else would the question be so difficult to an

    Chairman Rodriguez returned to his seat with the walking gait of a general in the military. He took his seat calmly and watched as Ricardo entered slowly and closed the door."What is this about, Father?"The chairman, instead of saying an answer to him, pointed to the empty seat in front of him. Ricardo sighed, still full of fury as he approached the chair and dropped on it. Federico Rodriguez leaned forward, placing his hands on the table between them."There are some questions I have to ask you, son." He started slowly but surely.Ricardo quickly spoke back. "There are some questions I have for you too, father. And I would like to go first."The chairman did not have the time to respond as his son continued."Is it true that you let mother die because you were busy having sex with that woman?""That woman is your stepmother." Federico Rodriguez corrected him at once. He was well sad at the fact that his children were now aware of what he thought was his secret, but he would not acc

    Ann, the new maid, was returning from the washroom. She had just escaped the close call with the old woman, Julia, who found her out as the one who had tried to poison the chairman. Ann had spent several months preparing for that murder. She had learnt about many ways to kill an aristocrat who had wealth and plenty. The only possible way she could settle with was poisoning.Yet no poison would kill a rich man with so much easy. They had enormous funds for urgent medical care, and they had all the facilities to revive themselves. Thus, she had to find that poison that kills in the fastest way possible. The water-blood poison was the best thing she could find. She spent several days leaning about this deadly thing. How to get it, a very rare thing to find. How to handle it, a very volatile thing to hold. How to use it, a very dangerous thing in the wrong hands. She had learnt all this, and she had prepared herself all because of one man, all because of Federico Rodriguez. The man who d

    Adrian Blood followed Lyana Rodriguez as she stormed on forward. He grabbed her arm before she could go any further."I have always thought that when my mother died, father was trying all his best to get back to us..." He could not see her face as she stood with her back in his sight, but he could hear the cry in her voice. She sobbed silently, betrayed and destroyed. "I thought that he was racing really quickly. He was panting really hard, hoping to get home on time. Hoping to be there to save his wife..." Of course, by the secret revealed tonight, he was panting really hard. Just not in the way that she would have hoped."I thought that when he arrived and he met her cold body, his entire world was crushing in front of his eyes. I thought he was so pained and so heartbroken that I could see it in his eyes."Adrian Blood did not know how, but the scenery played in front of his eyes. As he continued to hold Lyana Rodriguez, it was as if her memories were shunted into his, and he coul

    "When your bitch mother was dying on that sick bed, Fede was right beneath me. He kept stroking as your mother kept calling. The sex was just too sweet, we did not need any interuption. And when he finally attempted to respond to the call, I reached for the phone first and threw it in the bin. Then I fucked your father like it was his last day on this earth!"Lyana listened quietly, in her heart was a burning flame. She was about to lose it. She was about to go crazy."Your father had already grown tired of your sickly mother. He never wanted to marry her. He only decided to settle for less because of the benefits of business. Every time he abandoned you and your mother, guess who he comes to for refuge. Me! He comes crawling back to me!""You..." There were tears in her eyes, but she would not allow them to peep. Her voice crackled, but she would not allow it to break. She would not allow Melissa to see this weak part of her. She would not allow that monster to know how much pained s

    Jon laughed. "Did you really think you could get my formular? It took me years to come up with it, and you wanna do what? Pull it off in a month?""Ricardo says there is no time. He is threatening my family if I don't complete this on time. Now that you are here, you can as well help me." Richard Lewis said. Maybe this was not so bad after all. Maybe Jon Lewis's presence was a good thing. He was going to help me complete his mission, just like old times."No, no, little brother. You are always forgetting. This is not ten years ago. This is a different time. I am not here to help you get out of your mess. I am here for my own ambition."Many years ago, Jon Lewis was a genius who worked for everybody else except himself. His brother had introduced him to Federico Rodriguez, the man whom their father worked for. But Jon was not interested in the family career. He was interested in something else. Something more."What happened to you, Jon?" Lewis asked. "Where have you been all these yea
