John got an idea, and he implemented it.Seeing the multiple black cars that drove towards the hotel building, and knowing that they were from Maria Dickerson’s entourage, his brain geared into overdrive as multiple ideas went through his head.In the end, he settled for one of the many ideas going through his head.He looked at his best friend, stopping him just as he was in the process of giving orders to the gateman that they confronted.“Change the order, instead of the first order, tell him this instead”.“Open the gate after the 3 black cars enter inside the hotel building. If anyone of them is blocking the gate, tell them to leave first, then let us out”.“Wait till we drive out, then close the gate again”.“No matter what happens, do not accept to open the gate again until we are far away from sight”.“No, do not open the gate again at all tonight”.“Yes, sir”. The gateman nodded mechanically.***[Platinum Term: 100,000 NUS Coins!][WARNING! This is a highly controversial fav
George and John escaped. Mrs. Hayes was an influential woman with a lot of connections. That same night that everything happened, through one of her contacts in Nuktuk City, she heard of the commotion that happened in Noble Hotels and knowing that her bosses booked the hotel for the night, she made inquiries. Mrs. Hayes would be the last person to know the truth of what transpired that night in Noble Hotels. She knew just as everything was covered up just an hour later. Having lost her target, Maria Dickerson’s next step was clean up. They exercised their authority so much over one of the biggest hotels in Nuktuk City, and not ending at that, they shot the gate of the hotel down. All these were information that would take the public by storm. That same night, she flexed her military and PR power and influence. That same night, returning to Noble Hotels even as the gate was already being replaced by the exact same replica, Maria Dickerson went to one of the VIP rooms of this ho

Early tomorrow morning, like usual, the first thing that George did after waking up was checking the mission hub of his visafone.***[Mission Hub!][Available missions: 3]…[You have received system mission: Capture a HD quality picture of a Praying Mantis hunting its prey.][System Reward: 250,000 NUS Coins!]…[You have received system mission: Capture a HD quality picture of a Snake and a Hawk engaged in a skirmish.][System Reward: 190,000 NUS Coins!]…[You have received system mission: Capture a HD quality picture of a Snake swallowing another Snake in the wild.][System Reward: 200,000 NUS Coins!]***Like yesterday, his mission hub had 3 system missions waiting for him.Unlike yesterday though, the first thing that George did was not getting set to go tackle the missions, the first thing he did was getting ready with his friend as they got set to leave to the countess’ mansion that morning.Having lost their GLK 350 already during their escapade 2 days ago, John did not hesi
“Welcome, Mr. George”.“Your file says you’re applying for the position of a hunter in our company,” The blonde-haired male interviewer looked at him with shiny eyes. “So, why do you want this job?”“Well, I’ve always felt passionately about not starving to death, so?”Silence.“Ahem,” The blonde-haired interviewer adjusted his glasses, looking at the black suited man sitting opposite him.George was a handsome young man with neat black hair and shiny purple eyes. His shiny purple eyes did little in enhancing his stature though, it was clear from his second-hand suit and mannerisms that he faked it all.That simple glance already made this interviewer lose interest.He looked down only to see his second-hand black shoes.‘Like I expected, another f*cking loser looking to earn some quick bucks!’The interviewer looked at him with a poker look now on his face. “It says in your CV that you are quick at mathematics”.He looked him up and down. “What is 17 × 19?”“32”.“That’s not even clo
George felt like he was dreaming.Considering the fact that he even had dreams where he became James Bond, fighting villains and riding cars through skyscrapers, he was not surprised by it.‘Well, what story does my dream has for me today?’[Initializing System…][System Boot Successful!][Testing Bloodline…, please wait…][Bloodline Test Successful!][Result: Compactible!][Congratulations George Dickerson!
