2024-02-19 18:30:45Haze and the girls’ next destination was his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. It was located about half an hour from Derek’s place.
After a quick scroll through Vicky’s social media posts, Haze found out that her relationship with the vile young CEO, Kain, had developed into something more than a fling. He even appeared in all of her recent posts.
Haze scoffed as he read the thirst comments on one of her posts. It showed Vicky and her new boyfriend lazing on a beach like there was nothing wrong with it.
In the fabricated truth created by Leonard Blackwood, Vicky should still mourn for Haze’s death. But only a few people knew about their relationship.
He remembered the first time they met. In the subway station restroom, Haze heard a banging sound. When he searched for it, he found the source came from the female restroom. It was late at night, so no one else was around the area, leaving only him to look for the cause.

117. Later, When We Meet Again
Thud!The sharp end of the blade went through the meeting table, barely leaving three inches distance from Leonard’s face. It was enough for him to see and imagine how it’d be if Haze was not as benevolent.“I can never forgive you for what you did to me all those years ago, nor for what you put Cassius through in my absence.” Haze told his father, undignified under his mercy. “But I can never see your face again. Not even hearing your name. So why don’t you rot in prison for me, hmm?”And then, as if on cue, the door to the meeting room once again opened. Four people in uniform and one in a trench coat appeared.“Mr. Leonard Blackwood,” the leader of the bunch showed his police ID, “You are under investigation for child abuse, domestic violence, and murder cases. Can you come with us to the station for a statement?”Haze let go of the sword, but didn’t step back from Leonard&r
116. The Guilty Verdict
“What’s that about?” Valentine was the one to break the silence in the meeting room.No one didn’t dare to ask aloud like her, seeing as she was Jonathan’s favourite daughter, and yet, she was nothing in his eyes also. Let alone the others.However, instead of being cryptic, Jonathan looked at Leonard and dared him with a question. “Don’t you have anything to say?”Another silence in the room, but then Leonard tapped his fingers on the table and answered, “That is the poison that Samuel used.”“Are we talking about beauty or an anti-aging potion here?”“No.”Valentine furrowed her brow, “Then? What does Samuel use that poison for? Killing someone?”Again, Leonard went silent.In turn, it was Charles who chuckled with amusement in his eyes. “Don’t tell me that pussy brother of ours really went for it?”When Le
115. The Inheritances
It was almost nine when Jonathan finally emerged back into the dining slash meeting room. There was a renewed strength in the way he walked and held himself, as if the bald assistant gave him a shot of adrenaline that made him forget the illness and fatigue.Although, Haze knew it wasn’t the case.“Now, let’s talk about what you all want.” Jonathan smiled as he sat at the head of the table, resuming his almighty authority in this magnificent house.Several ears perked up hearing about the honest statement. Shamelessly, some of them even smiled with a smug face, already imagining the trillion inheritance that would fall on their open arms. Modestly, a few of them managed to hide the obliviousness of their greed.Like always, Leonard didn’t let that remark bother his impassive expression. He made sure to stay calm, composed at the face of his earthly desire slowly heading his way. He had faith that Cassius wouldn’t disapp
114. Remembrance
Unfortunately, there was one thing she ever regretted in her life. She couldn’t do anything to prevent Cassius’s death. If only she knew that he was poisoned, she might have done everything she could to get the antidote. Though, she knew the antidote didn’t exist. Still, the least she could do was stay by his side. But no. No, Elaine just has to be mad at Cassius for some menial things – she couldn’t even remember now. She was away, being angry at him that she even took some days off and refused his attempt to contact her. Tears welled up in her eyes at the memory. If there was a time machine, Elaine would do anything as long as she stayed by Cassius’s side. Even if it was in his last breath. The opposite happened. There was no denying that as Cassius’s assistant – and more, hopefully – Eliane was doing such a poor job. She didn’t even know he was poisoned, let alone staying by his side as he was dying.
113. May or May Not
‘Ring!’ Haze looked at his phone, seeing the reminder that he had set for today. He had to get ready for a very important first meeting today. Soon, a grin bloomed on his face, replacing the frown and scowl from earlier. After all, today was the day he faced his past mistakes again. Located in a quite fancy restaurant in the middle of the city, Haze hoped that he wouldn’t meet anyone who knew Cassius before. It’d be troublesome if he did, considering he was on his own now. As much as he hated to admit, having an assistant was useful in a time like this. But, he wasn’t exactly in full authority to get one himself from the many employees Leonard had. Besides, if it were up to him, they would meet in a place less dense. Alas, even after a month of living in this city, he still wasn’t that familiar with the public places. About two o’clock, he arrived at the mentioned restaurant. It had outdoor space, and it turned out, Kain Randall had
112. First Time Play
“Good job everyone,” Haze high fived his team in his Nameless costume, “I’ll treat you all to something special this Friday.” “But, boss!” Alfie whined to him, “Why can’t we do that now?” “I have some business, unlike a lazy bum like you.” Haze told them, “Besides, you have to work on your stealth first before the official Player League’s invitation comes to us.” “You think they’d let us in? It’s pretty big, you know?” “After our stellar performance? Oh, they couldn’t place us like a typical new team and ignore us for long.” Then, Haze looked at Melody, the daughter of the Head of the Immigration Service they made a deal with, “Did your father give you a hard time lately?” Melody frowned, but shook his head, “Strangely no, sir. You must have said very good words for me to my father? I hope the deal is worth it.” “Oh, you wouldn’t know.” After that, Haze and Maxine left the headquarters. Only then that they realize
