Keith looked at the guards and waved his hand signaling them to stop bowing to him, he was doing this while trying to ignore the fact that Jared had a pistol ready to fire him. “You better have an explanation for why you are late, I have been waiting here and you were busy having a joy ride.” 

Keith had a stern look on his face, he was not looking like a wimp anymore but he was looking like some kind of angry man that needed help with something. 

“We are so sorry sir, we didn't get the address that Mr. Marx gave us. We apologize from our hearts, sir.” One of the guards said, trying to bow his head, Jared was looking at everything unfolding in front of him and it was like none of it was real. 

Eleanor was still trying to put one and one together knowing there was no way on earth Keith would have the money to afford all this. “What in the world is going on? Keith is a nobody and he will never be able to have all this.” Eleanor was trying to understand what was going on, she saw that Keith was being respected like some boss. 

“How dare you ignore me?! Do you know who my father is? I will make sure that you all are jailed but before that, I will make sure you fight for your wretched life.” Jared was about to pull the trigger, but the guards in front of Keith reacted quickly. 

They kicked the gun off his hand before he was able to pull the trigger, Jared was not given enough time to think of the next move he was knocked down to the floor with a blinding move. 

“How dare you try to shoot our master? You will be punished for this, and the only way to punish a lowlife like you is death!” The guard held Jared down trying to choke him, Eleanor couldn't do anything but cry for help but nobody seemed to be coming to help. 

“That is enough, let him go,” Keith ordered, his voice was stern and calm, it was like he was trying his best not to let them hurt Jared. 

“But sir, he tried to shoot you. How can we let such a vile human live? Someone who will try to shoot them,” 

“I told you to let him go, do I need to repeat myself.” Keith sounded cold, and his demeanor changed. The guards released Jared without uttering a single word. 

“See this as mercy, but know this if I ever cross paths with you again it might not be nice,” Keith said before turning away, he and the guards walked to the car and they rushed to open the door for him. 

The car then zoomed off leaving Eleanor and Jared in dismay as they watched the car zoom off. 

“Why did it take you so long to find where I was? Isn't this house known in this district or do you have an excuse why you didn't find me earlier?” 

Keith was not happy that the car came late, he was not prepared to face Jared or his guards regardless. 

“We are sorry sir, we found you late because we weren't familiar with that side of town.” The guard was trying to make sure that he didn't incur Keith's anger. 

“Hmm, Marx better have some explaining to do. By the way, where is Marx? he was the one meant to pick me up.” Keith was still angry but he was trying not to show it. 

“Sir Marx went to take care of something in the Northern district, he sent us because he trusted that the both of us would be able to take you to the Phoenix Spring Hotel without any problems.” The guard replied quickly. 

Keith made himself comfortable on the seat, he didn't need anything that would strain him that much. 

‘What a day,’ Keith thought to himself as the car kept increasing in speed. 

Back at the Kendrick family mansion, Jared was being treated. “How dare he?! Why in the world would be try to do such a thing to me?” Jared was still infuriated, he knew there was no way he could have thought someone like Keith would lay a finger on him. 

“Calm down Jared please, I know he doesn't know any better. He just hired some actors to make sure that he acted all big and tough.” Eleanor tried to console Jared, she knew he was planning to do something. 

“I can't believe that brute would dare lay a finger on you. He doesn't know that he just put his hands into the fire.”Sandra scoffed as she helped apply lotion to Jared's wounds.

Jared was trying to keep his anger at bay but it was not working, he was not going to let Keith go free after he touched him. 

“I will make sure that my father hears of this, Keith Norman will pay with his blood,” Jared swore in anger,  and the entire room went silent. 

‘I wonder what got into him, I know Keith as a simple man but I have never seen him act like a brute before.’ Eleanor was still trying to find out what happened in front of her earlier. 

** 

Keith and his men got to Phoenix Spring Hotel, it was a luxurious Hotel filled with people of greater class and higher ranks. A night there cost at least a million dollars, Keith looked around and scoffed. 

“This is where all the city's filthiest and most important men come to dine, I wonder if I am going to be noticed.” Keith looked around, he was not interested in the hotel but he was trying to see what made it such a nice place.

“Lord Keith, we are going to finalize things with the receptionist, please stay close by so we can help you to your room.” The guard bowed his head, and Keith nodded. 

The two guards entered the hotel to talk to the receptionist about the hotel room, Keith on the other hand stood there looking at the Hotel. 

“I am not impressed, these people just come here to waste their money, is this really what Eleanor left me for? How pathetic,” 

Keith was about to head inside the hotel when something caught his eye, he looked up to see there was a group of men trying to force a girl inside a black SUV. 

“Now this is interesting, I wonder what is going on there?” Keith turned to that direction and began walking towards them. 

He had a stern look on his face, he needed to know what was happening to the girl. Keith got closer to hear what they were saying, it was like she was being kidnapped. 

“Get in the car! This is no longer a request but an order, the master wants you.” One of the men said as he tried to force the girl into the car, he was having a hard time doing so. 

“Let go of me, I don't want to go anywhere with you and you can tell your master to go to hell.” The girl fought back, she was trying to break free, she looked at the man's hand and bit him. 

“Why you vile bitch! I am gonna,” 

“I think that is enough,” Keith slowly walked up to the struggle. Keith looked at the men trying to see if any of them had a lethal weapon. 

“What in the world? What is this disgusting-looking shrimp doing here? I know I am not meant to laugh at people like this but this man looks like a  freaking retard.” 

The men all giggled a bit, Keith didn't even look at them like they were relevant. He stood in front of them like he was ready to fight them. 

“I don't want to repeat myself, so let her go and I won't hurt you all.”

    Kylian was still agitated; he got the chance to make sure that he would take Keith down, but he didn’t even get the opportunity to. Filled with anger, Kylian couldn’t even think of his next move, knowing that Keith would be thinking of something to make sure that he would counter it and make his life a living hell. Scattering the table in front of him, he wasn't even sure what he was going to get out of doing everything he had tried. “All this bullshit is because that man is as slippery as slime!” He sat down, trying to put his head through what he had been doing and how the Dragon Vaelly was meant to be his. “His mere existence is now a problem for me; he has taken everything from me, and now he doesn't even want to die?” He couldn't wrap his head around the whole problem; it was unsettling for him. All the plotting only for Keith to do something to make him even think of trying to kill someone. “He is not even doing anything, that's the problem. He is only avoiding me, and I d

    “What do you mean by that?” Marx was looking at Jacqueline; his stern look was different from what they would normally see. “Lord Keith isnt here and he is not going to be taking all this bullshit from them. We need to make sure that nothing is going to connect the whole thing to him.” Marx was not going to go for a news like that, he was not sure that there was a clear reason for them to think that there was a way for any of them to hurt Keith. “I told them, but they want him to come back to the Valley before Kylian even has the chance to reach there.” Jacqueline was even a bit more concerned about the whole thing than anyone else, but he was only acting that way to make sure that he would see Marx calm down a bit. “They don't know what is happening here, and yet they want him to come back to the Valley?” Marx was looking at Jacqueline, it was clear that nothing was going to be stopping the elders from the Valley from trying to make him come back. “Even if the world is ending h

    I woke up to the sound of someone calling my name gently, I sprung up and took my axe ready to kill any zombie in the area. I didn’t know what was going on but I looked up to see Susan standing close to me. I was shocked to see her looking at me like that.“Is there anything wrong?” I asked her as I got up to my feet, I was trying to make sure that she was okay and nothing happened to make her look like she had seen a horror movie character.“No, I wanted to talk to you I could lie down anymore.” She said as she sat beside me, it was like she was trying to get a friend out of it all. I didn’t want it to look like I was not trying to talk to her.“Okay,” I shifted a bit for her to sit down and tell what it was that was bothering her. I didn’t know what it would be that was making her feel uneasy.She sat down and by the looks of things she was quiet, it seemed like something had happened to make her even think of coming close to me. I didn’t know what I was going to do if it was going

    It took me an hour to kill the zombies that covered the fourth floor, it was like they were weaker than the other zombies I had faced but it was not that. I had gotten stronger and I knew I was only going to get stronger than this if I was to keep moving.‘If I can go faster now, why don’t I go check out the office and know if I will find anyone still alive there.’ I was thinking of trying to go see if there were any survivors up on the seventh floor, knowing that I could move at speeds faster than what I would normally move at. It was going to be ideal for me to go check if I would see anyone there.I turned to the stairs and ran up, every corner leading upstairs was filled with zombies and there was no telling if there was going to be anyone still alive after all that had happened there.I got to the seventh floor and it was a mess, all the desks were turned upside down. I didn’t know what it was that would even make me think that there would be a survivor.“There is no one here, th

    I was left alone there and there was no telling when those monsters would walk up to me, I was about to stand there to find out. I knew there was no way for me to survive if I was to go up against them like that.‘Why in the world did Mira leave like that for? I know she is trying to save herself but there is no telling what is going to happen if we are not close together.’I was not about to take the risk of standing there to find out that there was something dangerous lurking around the entire building, I knew if I was to make any mistake it would be my last.I was heading for the second fire escape, I knew if there was a chance for me to escape then it would be the other fire escape and I would have to be careful.I was rushing down and there was no way I would be taken down that easily, it was going to be either that or my death there was going to be nothing to it.I reached the fire escape and I began heading down the stairs, it seemed like that part of the building was under ren

    “Mira, run if you like your life, you better run with me.” I was trying to make sure that nothing was going to happen to Mira as we ran through the building and watched our colleagues shaking up and down.“Jiro I can't keep up, please take it easy there is no way I can keep up with you and the way you are running.” Mira couldn’t catch her breath; it was going to be the only way for them to escape the building.“If you don’t run then there will be problems, if those things bite us then there will be problems and I cannot lose you.” I held her hands as we ran through the building.We haven’t seen any of the infected people and we were trying to make sure that there were no other casualties. It happened all of a sudden and we didn’t even expect to see any other person that hadn’t been infected.It all happened this morning when I came in for work, it was strange that we had been working on a project for the past week. It was very tiring and there was no way we would even finish it.Our
