Vira paced back and forth in her room. She had been following the news about her ex-husband's rise to wealth and still could not believe it.

Now she was reconsidering her decision. She had married Elias because of his wealth and popularity. Even though he still possessed those, she envied Jace.

Did she actually love her husband? She shook her head quickly. There had been no love since the first day. Their relationship outside of the home was only a ruse; that was what the public wanted to see.

Her marriage to her husband had been the dream of many women. They had deceived the public by their showy display of love when in reality, they were lacking in that aspect.

It was only recently that Vira had realized she had truly loved her ex-husband even without his riches. But now, would he accept her back?

He was now higher than her husband and she hated to see this, she needed someone that would put her in a higher position and there was no one else except her ex-husband.

She sighed.

    “Lazik needs you now.” Ryker told Veyra when he entered the lab.She nodded and took off her gloves before following him out. Fortunately for her, she had returned on time, just before anyone noticed.As they both entered the dimly lit office, Ryker bowed and left.“You sent for me, sir.” Veyra said as she bowed.Lazik, who was sitting at his desk smoking from his pipe, looked up and smiled.That is weird, Veyra thought.“We have gotten news from the boss. He requests a large number of specimens to aid his soldiers in an upcoming war.” Lazik told her.Specimens? War?“I understand that the specimens are far more capable of dealing with wars, but do you not think it is going too far?” Veyra asked him.Lazik gave her a look, and she quickly bowed back.“So what? Do you want to go against the president?”Veyra dared to look up, “President?” “Haven't you heard the news about what is happening in Draxion?” he asked her.Veyra remembered seeing the news, but it was not anything bad, so she

    The next location Jace found himself in was a scrapyard. The place was also deserted with lots of rusted machines and abandoned vehicles. There were heaps of steel packed in various corners, and the air smelled like oil.Jace took a step forward, his gaze shifting between the metal mountains. Then the notification appeared before his eyes again.|[Eliminate Hostile Prototypes]“Hostile Prototypes?” Jace asked, “So what should I be looking for now?”|[Get rid of the hounds]|[Reward: 50% Endurance Boost + Shrapnel Rounds Added To Inventory]|[Penalty: Severe Physical Penalty]Jace sighed and clutched his dagger firmly. Soon, he heard a growl echoing throughout the area. It was not the usual growl he was used to hearing; this time, it was like metals grinding against steel.Jace came to a halt and turned toward the source of the sound, peering closely into the shadows.Suddenly, the first hound emerged. Its body was covered in jagged steel, its eyes were bright and glowed with crimson,

    “What do you mean by that?” Elias questioned in anger as he paced around his office. “I could not get a hold on him, sir.” the man before him, a roughly young man in his early thirties answered. His head was bowed before Elias, and his hand tightened around the material of his black cargo pants. Elias stared at him for a moment before speaking. “So you are trying to tell me that you failed to apprehend a mere man and now he is nowhere to be found?” “He is–” “Shut the fuck up!” Elias yelled, “I was told that you were the best assassin which made me hire you and now you are telling me that you were unable to catch the one person I paid you to catch?” The man bowed slowly. “I am sorry, sir. I might have failed to capture this man but I ended up stabbing his assistant.” the man said, his voice lowered by the mask that covered his face. “That was not what I sent you to do.” Elias told him, then he paused, “did he die?” “No, sir. I tracked his whereabouts and discovered that his

    The next place Jace found himself after clicking on the “Yes” button was outside an abandoned subway entrance. The place was strange and deserted. Jace was certain he had never been to the location before.It was dark, and a mist covered the entire tunnel. As Jace stepped onto the staircase, his footsteps echoed, breaking the silence ahead. He continued further, caressing his open arms as the air became colder.He shook his head, wishing he had not worn his lightweight t-shirt.“How am I supposed to know that the system would transport me to this weird place?” he asked himself as he continued to caress his arms.The last place he had been in was outside Serex’s apartment. He recalled walking out of the building, trying to make out his next move. But after much thought, he had decided to attempt the quest before moving forwards.He had clicked o

When she saw him getting out of bed, she pretended to be asleep.Mr. Alan walked towards his clothes, which were on the ground, and picked them up before going to the bathroom.Vira observed closely, waiting for him to leave the room. When he was gone into the bathroom, Vira sat up.The sound of pouring water made her get up from the bed. She tiptoed from her side of the bed to the opposite side. She noticed Alan's wallet and phone, both of which were on a small table nearby.On seeing them, she let out a sly smile and gently walked towards the small table. The sounds of pouring water persisted, giving her the opportunity to continue with her secret mission.When she got hold of the cellphone, she unlocked it with a single swipe. Without waiting, she went straight to his gallery and began to search for the pictures.Her heart rate quickened as she scrolled through her phone. She would glance at

    “How dare you?!” Vira yelled as soon as she entered the room. The room was different from where they usually met, but their meeting was the same; only this time, her life and career were in danger. Mr. Alan rolled his eyes. “Do you really want to start by shouting?” “How dare you manipulate me?” she yelled again, “do you think I have no means of fighting back?” The reporter let out a laugh. This irritated Vira, but she overlooked it. “What do you want? Spill it.” “You know what I want, Vira dear.” Vira rolled her eyes. His demeanor only irritated her more. When she did not respond, he continued, “You should know by now that I am in charge here; given that I work with a wide range of media, these images could cause a lot of damage to you.” Vira clenched her jaws. She was trying to keep herself from overreacting. “All it takes is a click from me and then–boom!
