THE UNSTOPPABLE BOSS

Chapter 2; All powerful system.

Mirabelle and her new lover rushed to the window to see crowds gathered around the car with cops trying to disperse them. Their Siren wailed continuously in the air.

Mirabelle gasped with both hands covering her mouth. She knew the police would soon come to interrogate them. Sir. Hex on the other hand had an indifferent demeanor. He was as calm as a stagnant water and that's because of his high status in the city. He's not only rich but famous.

Just as Mirabelle thought, police barged into room 207 with torches flashing from their gun which they pointed at them.

“Hand in the air!! You're under arrest!” Their commander instructed, pointing his own gun too.

“Sir!!” He called surprisingly after recognizing Sir. Hex. “Lower your guns!” He ordered him men and the men did as instructed.

He stepped closer to them and bowed. “I never knew it was you sir!” He said after raising his head. He glanced at Mirabelle then continued. “Someone fell from the window and the receptionist said he is a delivery guy.”

He directed his eye to the floor to see the smatched pizza on the floor. “Did he come to deliver this to you?” He pointed at the pizza.

“You mean the guy that tried to rob us? He must have disguised as a delivery guy to carry out his mischievous act!” Sir. Hex stated convincingly.

“Rob?” The commander repeated, a hint of suspicion in his voice but he dared not intercept him because he knew he'll face a bitter consequences.

“I think he's a criminal because he also tried to rape my lady here.” He pointed at Mirabelle who started shedding fake tears immediately just to make everything convincing.

The commander exhaled deeply looking down from the window. “ He must have jumped from the window thinking he'll escape without a scratch.”

He turned to Sir. Hex and bowed. “Am sorry for the inconvenience sir. We'll make sure to strengthen our security more. We'll leave now.” He walked out, followed by his men.

Mirabelle exhaled in relief and collapsed on the bed after the men left.

“What a relief.” She breathed out.

The ambulance drove to a hospital where Marcus' body was deposited in the morgue.

Inside of the morgue was dark, creepy and silent. Suddenly, a black smoke evoked from Marcus's body and passed through the closed door to outside.

***

In a strange city, several kilometres away from beacon city. A lifeless body washed off at a seashore by the sea tides. Cuts and stabs could be seen on the body of the unknown lifeless man. He looks like one who was killed in a battle.

The black smoke from Marcus entered through the nose of the man and gave him life. The cuts on his body surprisingly healed and the man coughed awake.

On the muddy and wet shore, he looked around to see nothing but water.

“Where am I?” He muttered, his eyes scanning around the strange environment. “How did I get here?”

The last thing he remembered was falling from the window of a building. How come he woke up at the shore of a sea with blood on his cloth? He thought.

Unknown to him, he had reincarnated into the body of another man and he was yet to realize it.

He stood on his feet to feel the cool night breeze on his face. Memories of what happened flooded into his brain.

“Mirabelle!” He gritted his teeth angrily, remembering her betrayal.

“You must have your revenge on her!” A strange voice came in the silence.

“What was that!” Marcus looked around in the silence to see nothing. “Did I just hear something?” The only sound he heard was the splashing of water.

“I am the All-powerful system! You awakened me and I am here to serve you master.” The strange voice startled Marcus.

Marcus went dumb, thinking critically. Was he dreaming? He had only watched something of this sort in movies hence it seems he's acting in a movie.

“How are you going to serve me?” He spoke up with doubts in his voice if he'll hear the voice again.

“You’ll complete a task after which you'll be rewarded for it. Failure to do it will lead to a more difficult task!”

“Reward? What kind of reward!” Marcus swallowed hard, his curiosity growing.

“Money.” The voice said.

Marcus gulped down saliva. The evening wind had his hair dangling backward. Everything felt surreal.

“Are you for real?” He gulped again.

In the stillness and tension, Marcus heard a shout for help coming from a distance.

“Your first task is to save the girl and help her get revenge. You have just 20 seconds.” The system voice came again.

“What!! Are you kidding me!! I don't even know where the girl is! Damn!!” Marcus lamented, instinctively running towards the direction of the voice.

He ran blindly, his feet leaving footprints behind on the sandy soil. With his steps he took, the voice became louder.

“Help me! Help!!”

The noise was coming from a building some metre away from the sea. Marcus got the door panting heavily with both hands on his knee.

“10 seconds left!”

“Shit!!” He kicked the door open forcefully. Surprisingly, the wooden door totally broke away from its hinges, hitting down two men who were trying to sexually molest a girl.

“How dare you, rats!!” Marcus jacked one of the guys up with an unimaginable strength. He gave him a punch in the face sending him crashing through the wooden wall of the building. His body created a hole on the wall.

Seeing the act, the other man shivered and ran out fearfully.

Marcus rushed to the girl on the floor. They had torn her clothes in such a way that part of her thigh was exposed.

“Are you okay?” Marcus asked warmly, his gaze settling on the girl who should be 16 years old.

The girl nodded. “Thanks sir.” Her voice was barely audible, shaking with fear.

Marcus stood up and stretched his hand for her to grab. She looked at the hand for some moments with hesitations in her eye before grabbing it.

“What are you doing here whe..” Marcus was saying but he was interrupted by the system.

“Mission complete! Good job host. $2 million dollars had been deposited to your account.”

“What!..oh..I mean..yeah..” Marcus was shocked. He tried to compose himself before the strange girl who couldn't hear the voice of the system because only Marcus could.

“Is everything okay?” The girl who later introduced herself as Lizzy stared at him wondering what came over him.

“Oh yeah…I am.” Marcus stuttered, trying not to get suspicious.

Just then, something beeped in his pocket. He touched it to feel something that had the shape of a phone.

He dipped his hand into the trouser and brought out a strange phone with the picture of a man in a military outfit smiling with a woman and a little girl.

Marcus frowned, his gaze firmly fixed on the screen looking at the family picture. He wondered how he got the phone but something more interesting caught his attention on the screen.
