Amanda dragged her wedding dress along as she approached Devin, her face twisted with anger.

“Have you come to ruin my big day? Why are you doing this to me?” Amanda cried out.

“You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Just because I upgraded from your pathetic ass?” She screamed at him.

“Seriously? Upgrade to marrying a man old enough to be your dad?” Devin said to her face, and she scoffed.

“Who is this man to the bride?”

“How do they know each other?”

“Shut your fucking mouth! This is the last time you raise your hands on my family!” Amanda screamed at Devin who scoffed.

“I never wanted to be here anyways. Have a great wedding,” Devin said with sarcasm, and turned to leave, but Amanda suddenly blocked his path.

"Kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, I won't let you walk out of here alive, you son of a bitch!" Amanda yelled at Devin who laughed at her words.

“You are digging your own fucking grave!” Devin shot back at her.

Amanda flushed with anger. Just as she was about to reply, Luther approached the pair with a shrewd smile on his face.

“Come on now, darling. Let's be kind to the man. He's already going through shit in life…” Luther said to Amanda, kissed her on the cheek and then turned to Devin.

“Tell you what Devin, why don't you slap yourself until she tells you to stop? At least, your worn out knees wouldn't need to contaminate the floor,” Luther proposed with a smile.

Devin gritted his teeth while he gazed at the pair.

“He should do it. A lowlife like him doesn't belong here anyway.” A guest suddenly said out loud.

“I've been saying this! These degenerates do not know their place. How dare he cause such trouble. He should slap himself until the bride is satisfied!” Another one joined in.

“If you have any shred of dignity left, you will apologize right now!”

Soon, more and more guests added their voices, yelling and cursing Devin, telling him to do what Luther and Amanda wanted.

“Everyone, please, let's just calm down. Mr Devin didn't do this on purpose. I can assure you,” Kia begged on Devin's behalf but Amanda scoffed.

“Girl, he's playing you for a fool and you're falling for it. Abandon him and let him burn!” Amanda snapped at Kia.

“Don't waste your words with them, Kia,” Devin told her as more guests pointed their fingers at Devin, yelling and cursing him.

“Oh God, what are you going to now, Devin?” Kia asked him, genuinely concerned.

Devin sneered and calmly took out his phone, he pressed a number.

“Young master, what's with the noise in the background!” Yvonne Hall on the other end of the line asked.

“Cancel this fucking wedding and kick these people out of my auditorium!” Devin commanded and hung up immediately.

Luther laughed out loud when he heard the words. He snorted and stepped closer to Devin.

“You've gone mad, haven't you? Do you think of yourself as a big shot now? You must want to be in MY world so bad that you fake connections!” Luther laughed again.

“You never should have forced me to come in here, Luther. Now, you'll have nothing,”

Devin sneered, while he folded his arms and watched the farce.

But Luther didn't take the words so kindly.

“I've tolerated your foul-mouth for so long. It's time I teach you a lesson your loser of a father should have taught you!”

Luther barked and signaled his personal bodyguards to the scene.

All five of them rushed down, wearing a frown on their faces.

“Teach him a lesson he'll never forget. Don't hold back. I don't care if you break every fucking bone in his body!” Luther commanded and took a step back while the bodyguards surrounded Devin.

But as soon as they closed in, a massive wave of energy surged from Devin's body and the bodyguards, slamming them into walls with bone crushing force!

"What a goddamn amazing clown show! I'm scared shitless!"

Devin adjusted to a more comfortable stance, his defiant gaze boring right into Luther.

The guests exclaimed, and Luther was shocked.

Kia gazed upon Devin with admiration, certain she was starting to fall for him.

“Guess I'll have to finish this myself!” Amanda cried out as she suddenly aimed Luther's gun at Devin.

The guests gasped as Amanda, determined, holds her aim.

“If you do not apologize to me and my family, I'll blow your fucking brains out right now!” She screamed at Devin.

The air hung with tension as Devin remained silent.

But Amanda suddenly fired the gun. The guests screamed and scurried into places to hide as the bullet hit the door.

Devin had dodged it!

“Why won't you just fucking die?!” Amanda screamed and attempted to take a second shot.

But right then, the door was blasted open with a huge bang. The bodyguards at the door were kicked aside by a mob of black - clad guys.

A smoking-hot woman walked in.

It was Yvonne Hall!

  • Chapter 310

    310. The digital world buckled like a paper house in a hurricane. Amanda and Devin flailed around as Devin tried to stabilise himself. Amanda clung to Devin's arm, her fingers digging in so hard they left white marks on his skin. Her entire body felt strange, and she hated that she was even in such a place in the first place. Amanda's eyes darted around the crumbling space. Gloria pulled the plug out of Amanda’s hold. "Do you think it's that easy, boy? You really think that you can just walk away?" "Shut your goddamn mouth!" Amanda yelled, yanking harder on Devin. His body jerked, veins still glowing like overheated wires. "We've had enough of your bullshit games!” Devin groaned, his knees buckling. “Amanda, it's like she's got hooks in my skull. We can't... we can't hold on." "Like hell we can't!" Amanda snapped, her free hand clawing at the interface node. It floated there, mocking them, a glowing orb was flashing with red warnings. She slammed her neural plug deeper

  • Chapter 309

    309. The monitors were going haywire and Amanda could feel the vibrations of the computer in her brain. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Everything was just wrong, but that Devin was too stubborn to listen to anybody. Amanda got up from her chair, coffee spilling over her lap. "Shit! No, no, no!" She slammed her hand on the console, eyes wide as the readings on Devin's vitals dropped fast, heart rate crashing, neural activity spiking off the charts. The man had done it now! What was she supposed to do in such a situation? What was happening to him in there? "Devin, you fucking idiot!" She yelled, her voice echoing in the small lab. She pressed the comms link, though she knew damn well he couldn't hear her anymore. "You just couldn't wait, could you? You never fucking can! You are a burden on my neck, Devin! Fuck you!" The medallion was floated at the centre of the room now, glowing erratically as pulses of light came out of it like an arrhythmic heartbeat. Amanda had had his body

  • Chapter 308

    308. Devin glared at her. He clenched his fists and try to clear his head. “No, I can’t be speaking to you right. Ow. You’re not real.” Gloria smiled. “Define real. You’re not standing in your own body right now either, are you? You uploaded yourself here, does that mean that you are not real? Does that mean that this is real? You brought yourself here willfully.” He swallowed hard and looked around. The walls started changing and displaying images of his past, flashing them for half a second at a time. It showed him at meetings with investors, his time with Petra… and then, the blood. The massacre at the tower. Everything that could mess with him. “Get the fuck out of my head!” He snarled. “Your head?” Gloria asked. “Oh, Devin. You stepped into mine. You should get out of my head, I'm not the one intruding.” He took a step closer. “Where is she?” She smiled wickedly at him. “Where is whom? Petra?” “Don’t play dumb with me, you know where she is. Stop act

  • Chapter 307

    307.Devin took his hands off the panel, looking around. "Well, that was anticlimactic." He said. "Devin, you are not allowed to touch that thing before I'm done calibrating it. I'll bash your head in with the keyboard if you do that again." He looked at her as the power returned. "And ow long will that take?" Amanda looked away. She didn't know. "It's the only way to find Petra right now. Stop trying to save me, I can make my own decisions!" Devin exclaimed angrily. Amanda groaned, rubbing her face. "You keep saying that all the time, but your actions in times like this prove otherwise. Now, listen to me. That Echo is not stable yet. If you link your mind to it right now, there's a good chance that it could fry your neurons or worse, plug you straight into Gloria's network. From what I have seen, it is very powerful." "Good." He said coldly. "Then maybe I'll find her faster." Amanda got up and stood toe-to-toe with him, glaring. "Are you hearing yourself? Yo

  • Chapter 306

    306. Devin hadn’t slept, not a wink or a quick shut eye. He sat at the edge of the cold metal bunk staring at the medallion glowing faintly on the table. His fingers twitched every few seconds like he was resisting the urge to grab it again, he wanted to feel it, the slow pulse that felt like a heartbeat to him. Amanda came later in the morning, her face was pale and her hair even messier than before. She looked like hell but so did he and he didn't seem to mind. “Good Morning.” She muttered, carrying two mugs of black coffee in her hands. “If we can even call it that.” Devin didn’t look up. “Do you have something for me?” Amanda set the mugs down and sighed. “You’re welcome, asshole.” He realised that he upset her and he rubbed his face. “Right. Sorry.” “You should be.” She took a sip of her own coffee and sat across from him. “You look like someone dragged you through stones.” “Feels like it too.” He muttered. He was exhausted and his voice sounded hoarse.

  • Chapter 305

    305. Amanda sat hunched over the desk with her hair tied up in a messy knot, and her eyes bloodshot from hours of staring at holographic code. The room around her was dark except for the dole glow of the medallion hovering in front of her. It was pulsing slowly, just like Devin had said, like a heartbeat, so slow and in rhythm. "Come on, you stressful piece of worm!" She muttered, tapping on the keyboard. "Show me what the hell you're hiding." Amanda had been working on decoding it for three straight days, fuelled by caffeine, anger, and perhaps obsession. Devin's obsession had bled into her, and now she was just this... creature. She ran her fingers through her hair, sighed, and then squinted at the screen. The code was beautiful but terrifying too. It was fluid, adaptive, almost alive. Every time she broke through one firewall, the medallion seemed to rewrite itself, sealing new layers of encryption in seconds. "This isn't just code." She murmured, shaking her head. "This i
