POPULAR REPORTER FOUND DEAD IN A CLUBHOUSE.

The news spread like wildfire, and the entire internet seemed shocked.

Elias was scrolling through his phone when he caught sight of the headlines. He took a brief pause, trying to comprehend the cause of his death as it was not stated in the articles.

Mr. Alan was considered the most popular reporter owing to the fact that he had built his own form and was working in it.

Even though Elias held a grudge towards him, he was stunned to read of his death so quickly. There was no evidence discovered because the person responsible had done an excellent job of removing all traces of it, making it even more difficult for him to determine who was behind it.

Elias leaned back into his seat feeling somewhat glad at the strange demise of the young man. He did not have to deal with him again or get his hand dirty while trying to pay back for what he had done. Someone had already done it for him.

But who exactly was it? Was it really the person he had in

    “What do you mean by that?” Lazik asked Ryker who stood before him. “Crowe should be back by now with that man's head. And you dare to tell me this?”“I discovered that the tracker that was implanted in him was not functioning.It has not been confirmed but chances are that he has been killed.”“Nonsense. Don't tell me that!” Lazik fumed. “That was one of my best inventions. He can't just go like that.”Lazik then turned to him, “what about his core? There should be something left of him.”“I have sent men to check it out.” Ryker said.“I do not need you to send anyone; I want you to do it yourself!” The man spoke in a stern tone.“Yes, sir.”“I need him back, alive or dead.”“Yes, sir.”Just as Ryker was about to leave, a guard entered.“You have a visitor, sir.”“Who the hell is this visitor?!” He yelled in anger.The man peered in, putting Ryker back in his normal state.“Mr. President,” he called out, forcing a smile.“Mr. Lazik.” The man said as he approached Lazik’s chair.“I was

    “He sent you, right?” Jace asked as he faced Crowe again.The man smiled and raised his sword.“Lazik? That is his name?” Jace muttered.The man that was behind the killings and every evil thing that has happened was Lazik?“What the hell did he do to my assistant?” Jace inquired before proceeding with his attack.Crowe approached him and their swords clashed, “I know nothing of your assistant. My place has always been in the chamber, and whatever happens outside of it is not my responsibility.”“Chamber?” Jace asked just when his sword flew over his head. Crowe smirked and lurched towards him. “That is where we specimens are kept. In a chamber.”Jace became enraged upon hearing this.Now it was a chamber?The atrocities were getting worse, and he could not take it any longer. He looked at Crowe, whom he had previously fought, and his face was stern, his eyes golden. Jace wondered if he was one of the people who had been taken against their will.All of a sudden, Jace felt pain in hi

  • CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE

    It had already been three days since Serex’s confinement in one of Lazik's cells. It was difficult for him, particularly since Veyra had been taken away.He was curious as to what had happened to her. Was she being beaten or treated badly or worse still, had she been killed?He abruptly shivered as he tried removing the thoughts from his head, however, he couldn’t. Seeing the man Lazik was, Serex was certain he was capable of even more evil acts.When was he actually going to get out?, he asked himself.He had to look for his brother before it was too late. A week had passed and there was nothing about Kael, not even a trace of him and all he could do was hope that he was fairing well.When he thought of his boss, he wondered what he would have been doing. He was sure Jace had noticed his disappearance, but he wondered why he had not come to his aid. Given his affluent status and power, he was sure that his boss could rescue him without having to do much.Serex sighed and rested his b

    |[Quest Completed]|[Proceed to Unlock Reward?]|[Yes] [No]“Yes.” Jace said.|[Mind Stabilizing Skill Attained]|[Stability Level: 100%]“Finally!” Jace exclaimed with a heave of breath.|[Weapon Store Activated]|[Would you like to explore it?]|[Yes] [No]“A weapon store?” he asked himself.Just then the men came up to him, their body trembling and their expression filled with fear. Jace turned to look at them, and they came to a halt.“What do you want?” he asked with a cold tone.Maren let out a sigh. “We have–” “–your eyes...they are different in colour.” Ronan chirped in quickly.Jace suddenly averted his gaze. He had forgotten how his eyes turn red after going against his ability. That was his first time engaging in a fight without a weapon and consuming two skills just to defeat them, making his eyes change to red.“We just wanted to apologize to you for the way we treated you.” Maren told Jace.Jace did not say anything.Ronan nodded quickly. “

    Veyra walked into Lazik's office and saw him focused on the computer screen, his fingers working on the keyboard. She had been summoned by him with no reason why, only the thought that it was not bound to be good.When the door shut behind her, everything went silent. Lazik looked up at her, then leaned back in his seat, staring at her intently for a few seconds before smirking.“Do you know why you are here?” he questioned her.Veyra gave him a brief glance. “I have no idea.”“Of course, you wouldn't,” he told her, “I never expected such from you, Veyra. I thought you were finally on my side and that we would rise together. But little did I know that you had some secretive plans up your sleeve.”Veyra remained silent as she played with her fingers.“Well, that was not what I called you for.” he informed her, then continued, “while you were locked up, I was lucky to find a replacement that fitted your role perfectly.”Veyra abruptly lowered her gaze toward him.“The only problem I hav

    It was nighttime in Draxion, the weather was cold with the ocean breeze ventilating the whole area. Jace had been waiting for this time since he had already gotten a clue about the arrival of the government officials.He had been wandering around, waiting and hoping to end the quest in the best way plus he desperately needed the mind-stabilizing reward promised by the system, as he could use it to reach level three.As he sat on the bench in expectation of the next possible action, he overheard someone speaking about looking for greener pastures. They walked past him, not bothering to look in his direction.Jace stood up slowly, trailing behind in secret and hoping no one would notice. The nasty stares he was receiving were enough, but he did not want to draw attention to himself.When they arrived at the familiar dark alley, Jace could hear the men whispering to themselves.“Is this the same alley where some dead men were discovered?” the man's customer he had seen earlier, inquired.
