“The news has spread quickly, and it will only be a matter of time before your name appears first on the chart.” Vira said, smiling, as she emerged from the kitchen.
“What were you doing dear?”
“Preparing something for you. This calls for celebration, honey.” she told him as she sat beside him.<

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR
After Serex and Nova had left, Jace sat down with a glass of whiskey in hand. Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up from his side, staring at the screen.It was an article bearing the president's picture. The headlines stated: PRESIDENT COLLAPSED DURING SPEECH DUE TO A TERMINAL ILLNESS.Jace let out a smile as he read further. It was clear, according to the article, that the president was seriously ill. Another article that caught Jace's attention had featured Lazik's photo.“He is still under investigation?” Jace asked as he read from the source.He sighed deeply.The country was really not working out for its citizens. It was clear that Lazik had indulged himself in some evil act, and it was also clear that the president had spearheaded the operations on the basis of an impending war.But somehow, it was understandable to him. The president knew he was dying, and the next thing he decided to do was let Lazik demonstrate his ability by creating a masterpiece that would make him
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE
“Who are you and what the hell do you want?” Lazik asked with fear as he stood up from his seat.“I am Crowe, and I have come to do what I was supposed to do long ago.” Jace said.Lazik could feel his body vibrating as he inched closer, his eyes with different colors sending more fear into him.“You are not Crowe. Crowe always obeyed me.”There was a chuckle, then he stopped and stared hard at Lazik.“Too bad Crowe has surrendered to me. His core has been infused with mine, and I get to control it.”“How dare you!”“He gave me his consent.” Jace said with a smirk. “And guess what?”“What else do you have to offer?” Lazik asked him.“We both have the same goal, which is to kill you.”“Crowe would never do that. He is very loyal.” Lazik said. He was literally shivering.In a second, Jace was before him, his hand gripping Lazik's neck in anger.“Did you just say ‘loyal’?” Jace asked him as he tightened his grip around Lazik's neck.The latter squirmed in pain.“He was just a poor orphan
CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO
(The Void)“How are you here?” Jace asked as Crowe approached him.“You are in possession of the core, Jace. That makes us two in one.”“Then why am I being suppressed in my body?” Jace asked him.“Lazik detected my core's activation and called me out. The atmosphere in that building is conducive enough for me, so calling me out made your core weak.”Jace nodded slowly. That confirms why his thoughts had been taken over.“You must have also called me into this void.”Crowe nodded.“Well, I'm here. What do you want?”Crowe stopped a few inches from Jace.“I know you want Lazik gone.” Crowe began.“You read my mind.” Jace chirped in.“I also want him gone too.” Crowe said, “But I can't do that alone. You are more powerful than me, and your core is bearing a protective wall.”“The system recognizes me as the real host.”Crowe’s brow furrowed. “System?” Then he took a deep breath.“We need to kill Lazik. I need to kill him.”“So how do you plan to do that?”“I just need you to link our co
CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE
Serex and Nova sat in silence, plotting a way out, but still nothing was forthcoming.“The security is really tight around here. We can't leave for five minutes without being noticed.” Nova said as she rested her head on the wall.“How did you get past my brother's room without getting noticed?” Serex asked her.“There was no guard, only surveillance cameras.”Serex narrowed his brows.“It is a secret part of the building. I don't think Lazik expects anyone to cater away your brother. It would be hard.”Serex heaved a deep sigh.His mind was racing with thoughts on what to do, but none of his thoughts was related to survival. Just as he was still thinking, they heard a sound.Serex looked to Nova and she looked back at him.What the hell was going on outside?All of a sudden they heard footsteps running down the hallway and stood up quickly. Nova got to the door, knocking gently on it.“Hello?” she called.There was no answer. She looked back at Serex who looked confused. Then she r

“Wait, what! You saw who?” Serex asked with an unbelievable expression.“Your brother. They kept him in a capsule-like tube with lots of wires connected to his brain from a beeping machine.” she explained.“No,” Serex said, shaking his head, “no, it cannot be.”“It is true, Serex. I am sure it was him. He saved me.”Serex raised his gaze to her with narrowed brows. “What did you say? Save?”Nova nodded, then she went on to tell him how the door to the lab had mysteriously opened on entry and how it had also opened to let her out. She did not exclude the part where she saw the boy open his eyes or the part where she had triggered the alarm system.“So that sound was from you?”Nova nodded again, sadly this time.“I shouldn't have disobeyed Ryker. I shouldn't have left the room he kept me in and now I have caused even more trouble.” she said with tears welling up in her eyes.“You shouldn't beat yourself up. You found out something great that is an achieve–” suddenly, he paused, “Ryker?
CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE
After Ryker had gone, Lazik entered his office and took a deep breath. The president had arrived; that was even more pressure on him. The specimens had failed, leaving barely a few. Even the conditions of these few were not yet certain. But at least he had Jace Riven. That was more than an accomplishment. “Good day, Mr. President." Lazik said as soon as he entered. The president said nothing as he walked to the desk. Then he took a chair and sat. With a hand, he ordered his bodyguards out. “The specimens?” “They–they–” “They what?” “We tried to sustain them, but their systems kept on failing.” “You told me you needed them, and I made them available to you. So what is this I'm hearing from you?" the man said in a calm yet stern tone. “Draxion is a poor town with people dealing with malnutrition. Their health is so poor to match up to the standards of the operation.” Lazik explained. “So it was a pure failure?” “Not really. We are still testing the remaining two wit
