CHAPTER 10 — GLITCH THAT SHOOK THE HIGH TABLE
The low-pitched emergency siren wailed, shattering the silence of the night around the abandoned psychiatric hospital in the northwest district.Searchlights spun rapidly from various angles, casting sharp beams toward the main courtyard, reflecting the long shadow of Adrian's figure as he continued walking forward without hesitation.Behind the third-floor glass walls, hundreds of elite Vance corporation mercenary soldiers stood in neat rows with assault rifles cocked perfectly, locking onto the sole target down below in their lethal sights.To anyone, that sight was the literal definition of a mass grave.Inside the third-floor main room, Madam Valeria stood tall beside Dr. Elena's bound chair. Her deep purple-hooded cloak fluttered softly in the night wind sneaking through the old window.The middle-aged woman flashed a wide smile, revealing her horrifying yellow teeth. Before her, a black crystal orb artifact floated in the air, emitting waves of bluish light shrouding the entire
CHAPTER 9 — THE GOLDEN BAIT TRAP
The shiny marble floor in the master study of the Vance Manor reflected the light of a gigantic crystal chandelier hanging magnificently from the high ceiling.The room was filled with the scent of imported cigar tobacco mixed with the fragrance of aged mahogany wood. Behind a massive classic-style desk, Arthur Vance sat in an upright posture, his fingers wearing a black gemstone ring tapping rhythmically against the desk surface.The middle-aged man's face was hard, cold, and radiated the absolute authority of a patriarch accustomed to orchestrating the life and death of others in this city.Before him, Julian stood restlessly with a bandage wrapped vaguely around his neck. The lingering fear from the corporate lobby incident still haunted his eyes, mingling with a burning anger."Father, you have to believe me!" Julian's voice trembled slightly, trying to convince the man he feared most in this world. "Adrian is no longer the ordinary bodyguard we used to know. He killed an entire e
CHAPTER 8 — THE UNDERWORLD ALLIANCE
The night breeze swept through the quiet corners of the city, carrying along the scent of damp earth mixed with the lingering smell of gunpowder radiating in the air.Inside an old, abandoned warehouse located behind the ruins of a derelict textile factory, the atmosphere felt much calmer, though tension still hung thickly in every corner of the room.The glow of a makeshift emergency chandelier hung casually, casting long shadows against the mossy concrete walls.Adrian stood near the worn window, monitoring the outside through the gaps of the rusted iron blinds. On an old folding cot in the corner of the room, Marcus lay with a now-steady breath.Beside him, Maya sat kneeling while tightly holding her older brother's hand, her eyes still holding remnants of tears and fear from what they had endured hours ago.Minutes earlier, Adrian had accessed the God Skill Shop via his system interface, which had experienced an error loop. Without spending a single point or contribution coin—than
CHAPTER 7 — THE SLAUGHTER OF THE SOUL REAPERS
The air inside the narrow room suddenly transformed into a gravitational field that pressed down on the chest of anyone breathing it.The glow of the light bulb that had previously flickered out now turned back on with a dim, reddish radiance, casting long shadows against the rotting wooden walls.Maya immediately rushed forward, embracing the body of her brother, Marcus, who lay weakly with ragged breaths on the floor.The girl wept hysterically, holding her brother's body tight while ensuring there were no severe slash wounds on the man's face.Before them, the figure standing tall with his back to the light was no longer the ordinary bodyguard they had known a few days ago.Adrian stood with a calm posture, yet surrounding his body emanated an aura of pitch-black energy that rippled wildly. A thin shadow cloak draped over his shoulders, moving alive like a bloodthirsty living entity. Without looking back, Adrian spoke in a low yet absolute voice, breaking the tense silence."Take M
CHAPTER 6 — LAST-MINUTE RESCUE
The desolating night wind carried the dense scent of soot and street dust across the eastern sector of the city. The narrow alleys usually filled with the laughter of neighboring children had now turned into a grim, silent graveyard.The street lamps flickered weakly, as if shivering at the sight of the convoy of black armored vehicles blocking every access point in and out of the densely populated residential area.The cleanup operation that night moved without mercy. Elite mercenary squads from the Vance family's special division spread rapidly to every corner of the residents' homes.The wooden doors of the shanties were forcefully broken down, dragging out innocent people who could only scream in terror within the darkness.In the eyes of the elite tower masters, the mortals in this slum district were nothing more than mere commodities—statistical figures ready to be sacrificed to harvest system points and maintain their dominance of power.Amidst the chaos, a small rented house m
CHAPTER 5 — HUNTING IN THE DARK ALLEY
The metropolitan night air crept down, carrying a bone-chilling cold. Neon lights from commercial buildings in the distance cast a dreary glow upon the wet asphalt freshly soaked by a light drizzle.Among the towering concrete labyrinth lay a narrow alley in the suburban district—a dead-end alley rarely touched by people, where night shadows concealed the darkest side of this city.Adrian walked casually down the alleyway. His footsteps sounded faint, blending with the gentle hum of the night wind blowing between moss-covered red brick walls.In his grip, no weapons of any kind were visible. Yet, his consciousness remained at the highest level of alertness. He knew the Vance clan's operational methods all too well; they never let anyone who had humiliated the great family breathe for longer than twenty-four hours.Suddenly, Adrian's steps halted.The sound of synchronized military combat boots echoing neatly from the front and back of the alley simultaneously. Escape routes were compl
