'I came to this city for a special mission,' he thought. 'And this man's entire existence isn't even worth it!”

His gaze instantly softened and the aura that pulsed off from him disappeared. 

Jason breathed heavily, it was as though a weight had been lifted off from his shoulders instantly. 

For the next few moments, he fought to catch his breath as his heart pounded hard on his chest.

This time, he stared at Riley, the fear still clawing at his heart.

Though he didn't know how, something told him that Riley had something to do with what just happened. 

But he tried hard not to believe it.

‘It isn't possible.’ His thoughts echoed.

He had a Immoral ranked essence core, a core of rarity at that and his skills was a combat class.

And yet, a slum kid that barely had any essence sense could paralyze him, it was just something that stood at the peak of impossible. 

Just then the air shifted and a voice rang the name of the desk officer.

"Jason!"

The voice came from the entrance, woven deeply with a sense of power and nobility. 

Jason shot up from his seat so fast his crystal screen went flying. His entire body language changed in less than a second.

"M-Mr. Jack! Sir!”

“It was him all along, the reason for the aura, the shift and I had attributed it to the slum kid, I must be such an idiot.” He hit his hands on his head, running swiftly towards Mr. Jackson with so much reverence. 

“Mr. Jackson, it's you. I wasn't expecting you at this time!” He bowed multiple times to the personal assistant of Mr. Edward unknowingly. 

“What can I offer you, the academy…” He tried to get a conversation with Mr. Jack.

Mr. Jack walked right past him.

Didn't glance nor did he even attempt to acknowledge Jason's existence. 

His feet carried him straight to Riley.

"Mr. Riley," Jack said with a respectful bow of his head. "I trust the registration process has been smooth so far? Sir Harmon Edward sends his apologies for the delay."

The entire hall went dead silent.

Jason's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water as he tried to comprehend these words.

But each time, his brain seemed to fail.

Mr. Jack was Sir Edward's personal assistant. Everyone knew that name. The man who had direct access to the royal family.

And apart from his association to such a family, he was one of the very few people in the world known to have a God-Tier core and that was enough reason alone for him to be heard 

And he was bowing to the person Jason had just threatened to kill.

"I... M-Mr. Jack..." Jason stuttered, his face going from red to white. "You... you know this person?"

Jack's brows knitted dangerously. "Is that a question? You were supposed to have all VIP student details processed. This is our top priority admission under the Mayor's direct order."

Jason felt his knees go weak.

"The process has been very smooth," Riley replied with a half-smile. "I almost got murdered before stepping inside. Great hospitality."

Jack's eyes slid to Jason for the first time after which they stiffened, and his blood froze.

He remembered how much importance Mr. Edward had placed on Riley, literally calling him a God.

Yet, someone as lowly as a desk officer had dared to attack him.

The look alone could have frozen hell.

    CHAPTER FIFTYHe waited patiently for the call to go through, and when he heard the double sound of ringing, he was elated and waited anxiously to hear someone’s voice from the other end of the line.“Hello? Who is this?”“It’s me! It’s me, Riley . Mira, I needed your help!”Riley held onto the phone to his ear, while he waited anxiously to hear from his girlfriend who went silent for a while. When he had waited for a few seconds, and he didn’t hear anything from her, he was forced to call out to her.“Babe? Are you there? Hello?”“I am here,” Mira responded with a soft tone, but Riley could feel the tension in the call, even though he was forced to overlook it.“Please baby, I need your help, I need a place to keep my family.”“Your family? Have you found them?”“Ye, babe! I found them, even though it wasn’t easy.”“That’s good,” Mira said after a few seconds, with her tone as soft as she could keep her voice.“Yes! I need your help! I need to keep them somewhere safe for the next

    CHAPTER FORTY-NINELooking around, Riley could only imagine what could be waiting for him inside the building which looked really strange. He looked around the surroundings, but the house stood alone, surrounded by bushes, and some tall trees that looked like they didn’t need water to survive, even though they weren’t as green as a tree was supposed to be.“I hope I am doing the right thing.” Riley thought to himself. He took in enough air, and let it out gradually, before he took the first bold step, and started to walk toward the building, holding onto his courage and hope.He climbed the stairs that led to the door and could feel them shaking as though their foundation was no longer suitable for them.As soon as he got a few inches to the door, he stopped and turned around to look at the Van, still struggling with the heavy pounding of his heartbeat.He sighed heavily and extended his hand to knock at the door. He withdrew his hand on the first attempt, and following the way he f

    Riley continued driving the van as fast as he could without knowing where he was headed. It appeared that the road after the long garden path was as lonely as a desert, with no one else driving through.It was already dawn, and the touchdown of the sun was already upon the earth, even though it wasn’t as radiate as when it was in its full splendor.Riley continued driving through the narrow road, even though his mind had been bestowed by so many uncertainties, but the strong determination to get away from the men who could he after him kept on responding in his mind.“Mum? Are you okay back there?” He asked as he tried to take a look at his mother through the rearview mirror, but all he could see was her hair, and nothing else, as the partition glass between them blocked his view.Mrs. Ederson was still shocked to even give her son a response to his question, but she managed to nod in affirmation, even though she was really worried about the safety of herself and her two sons.While

    CHAPTER FORTY-SEVENKnowing that they were a major obstacle to his escape with his family, Riley glided toward the back of the Van where the men were taking cover and caused them to run out of their hiding place, shooting more blasts at them with full force.“Yeah! Get away from that Van! Get away from it!”To retaliate, one of the men who ran away from the back of the Van pulled out a loaded pistol from his pants, and pointed it at Riley , causing him to gasp.“No! No! Don’t shoot him! You fool! He is an asset! You shoot him and we lose everything!” Seth screamed at the guards who hesitated with so much struggling, before he lowered the gun slowly, grunting in intense frustration, while Riley felt a little relief, as he had thought the guard was going to pull the trigger of the pistol he pointed at him.Seth continued his tiptoeing toward the Van, trying to be as quiet as he could, but it was too late, as he had already given himself up, and ruined his plans.Riley sighted him thr

    CHAPTER FORTY-SIX“Don’t just stand there! Do your fucking job! Grab his legs!” Seth cried out to the men, pointing his right index finger at Riley who continued to glide through the air, looking down at the four men below him.The men looked at Seth, and all they could do was wonder if he was seeing the sight of Riley who was suspended in the air.“What are you still waiting for? Jump up and grab him! Is that so hard?”Seeing that the four men standing below Riley were so confused, and not eager to do anything, Seth growled, and then he started walking toward Riley , paying no attention to the pain he felt in his thighs.“Hooger will kill me if I don’t do as he has asked. But I will make sure that I kill these bunch of useless men before I face him!’With nothing but a strong and desperate determination to accomplish his mission, Seth limped as soon as he got close to Riley , attempting to grab his legs.“Come here! I am not done with you yet! Get back here!”His efforts to grab R

    Satisfied that his Mum was safe, he returned his gaze to the men in front of him, looking for a way to escape from them. “Please, I beg you, lady. Just come out!” Suddenly, he felt balls of sweat running down his body at different parts, as he stood at a spot with nowhere to run to, trying so hard to catch his breath which was moving farther and farther away. With nothing but a little borrowed courage left inside him, he discarded every form of thought in his mind, and ran to his left, in an attempt to get past the guard there, but he found himself on the floor, as the guard put his leg on the way, causing him to trip on it. Riley grunted loudly, as he hit the ground with his chaste, causing him to feel so much pain. He tried to get up almost immediately to escape from the men, but he felt a tight grip on his neck as soon as he tried to get up. “Come here, boy! Enough of the games, it’s all over.” “No! Let me go! We can talk about this.” Riley said loudly, but that wasn’t enough
