It was late morning when Edward arrived at Diane’s house.

Holding the gun in his hand, Edward looked at the house. The door was open. He could enter the building if he wanted to, but he didn’t enter that house.

Instead, he went to the neighbor’s house.

There was an adult brown rottweiler, Payne, outside on the lawn, and it roared as Edward approached the gate.

It wasn't a bark, not a growl, but a full-throated shriek that sounded like a demon being flayed alive.

Passersby would clutch their chests; mothers would scoop up their children, and even the most hardened teenagers would quicken their pace, glancing fearfully at the house. Payne’s screams were a force of nature, a sonic weapon designed to pierce the ears, chill the bones, and keep the world at bay.

However, Edward didn't flinch, didn't falter, didn't even break stride.

It was as if the dog’s screams washed over him, like a wave crashing against a rock, leaving him entirely unaffected.

His gaze was fixed on the dog as a predato

    In bloody clothes, Denver and Catherine had to walk the whole mountain down as no helpers arrived.So, Sheryl’s help proved to be truly invaluable.Catherine noticed that Denver was bringing the kitchen knife with him.“Why are you bringing that knife along?” she asked. “I don’t think any bear will attack us here.”“I stabbed the bear with this. I’m going to keep this as a memento—”“And remember that horrifying incident whenever you see it?”“Y-Yeah. Pretty much.”“Why would you want to get reminded of that? Is it just you, or are all men like this? Loving to keep stupid things for stupid reasons.”Denver looked at her blood shirt. “C-Can I keep your shirt?”“You want this as a memento, too? No! I’m going to dump this in a trash can since it’s covered in blood, and trash is where it belongs,” Catherine sounded certain about it.They booked a room at a small hotel by the base of the mountain.Catherine changed her clothes, but when she was about to toss her bloody clothes in the trash

    Edward Creamer, after dealing with the devious dog and its owner, chose to enter Diane’s house.Subrina was in the hall, sitting nervously as if she was waiting for him. “Welcome, Mr. Edward,” she came and greeted him. “This is our first time meeting, isn’t it? Diane told me so much about you.”Even though she put her hand forward, he didn’t shake her hand.He just went and sat on the couch. “I came here to thank you for calling the ambulance and helping my son.”Subrina smiled in relief. “I did something anyone would do.”“Not everyone will do what you did, though,” Edward stated. “I appreciate what you did, but why didn’t you stay with my son in the hospital?”Subrina was startled. “Uh, about that…” She couldn’t just tell Edward that she was going on a date with Peter Mason.“Your husband died, and you’re dressed up for some occasion,” Edward voiced his mind. “Are you seeing someone?”Subrina frowned. “Are you suggesting I should still mourn for Richard even though he died many mont

    After Edward left, Diane entered the house.Subrina saw her daughter and squinted her eyes. “Where did you go?”“Just to meet a friend,” Diane said and was going upstairs.“Wait, why the hell did you record my conversation with Catherine?” Subrina asked aloud. “What were you thinking? Were you trying to use it against me later on?”“I was recording it for fun, Mom. Don’t think too much,” Diane said.“Tsk, you heard what Stephen’s dad said, didn’t you?” Subrina got up from the couch. “Just forget about Stephen before things get worse for us. They are gangsters. If they decide to snatch this house from us, what can we do? Even the courts and police support them. We’ll be brought to the streets.”“I’m aware of that, and I’ll never let such a thing happen, so don’t worry,” Diane said and then went to her room.Despite what Diane said, Subrina couldn’t trust her daughter’s words. “I can’t waste my time here. Peter Mason would be waiting for me now.”Subrina hurriedly left the house and saw

    “Shit! Stop the car and get out! Now!” Sheryl’s shout startled the ones sitting in the front.Denver immediately squeezed his foot on the brake.“What? What happened?” Catherine looked back and asked.Sheryl kicked the door next to her and sent it flying. She got out.Seeing her, Denver and Catherine also got out.“Run away from the car!” Sheryl shouted as she ran away.Denver, however, heard a noise from the sky. He didn’t even look up. He just jumped across the car and hugged Catherine. It all happened so fast that both Denver and Catherine didn’t quite know what was happening.Just then, the missile came down and struck the car, causing a great explosion that shattered the glasses and sent many objects flying.Catherine and Denver were both blown back because of the shockwave.The knife Denver had brought with him also flew out of the car and flew toward Denver’s head, but Sheryl appeared in a flash and deflected the knife with her bare hand.However, when she turned back, she saw t

    Sheryl told the ambulance driver to stop the vehicle, but he refused to stop it and headed straight to the nearest police station.Sheryl threatened to kill the unconscious nurse. Only then, the driver stopped the ambulance on the side of the road.There was a motel nearby.After Sheryl called for backup on her mobile, she took Denver and Catherine to the motel and booked a room. “Let’s stay here until I find out what exactly happened.”“Are we safe here?” Catherine still looked nervous and shaken by everything that happened. “Won’t the missile hit this building?”The missile was so fast and silent Catherine couldn’t even see it even when it struck the car right before her. Naturally, she was terrified on the inside, even though she wasn’t freaking out.If another missile or two were to strike this motel, which would take time to escape from, then wouldn’t it mean certain death for all of them?Denver also felt that Catherine’s question was valid.Sheryl could see that they were expect

    The assassin’s body was blown into bits, but it did not cause any damage to the walls of the room.Catherine felt goosebumps all over. Denver pushed Catherine into the bathroom, but he stayed outside.“Are you not going to hide?” Sheryl asked. “These assassins might be a bit too much for you in your current state.”“I’m not ready to kill like you can, but… I won’t just wait for them to come and attack me and the people I love,” Denver clenched his fists, ignoring the fact that Catherine was banging the door, telling him to open it. “You said it yourself. This is war!”Just then, two assassins burst through the ceiling. One attacked Sheryl while the other one attacked Denver.Sheryl managed to duck from a cleaving attack and then stabbed the assassin from behind with her bare hand. She was able to pierce through his body with ease. “Who sent you? Was it Tyron?”“You will die soon, bitch,” the assassin blurted.“Yeah, I hear that often,” Sheryl pulled her hand out, and the assassin coll

    A helicopter came down and landed in front of the motel, with more underlings of Denver getting out.Sheryl personally escorted both Denver and Catherine into the vehicle.“What about the innocent people that were killed?” Denver asked Sheryl.“We will compensate them with some money,” Sheryl was quick to reply as she swiftly removed the bullet from his palm. “However, your style is to make our enemies reap rewards for their deeds. Good or bad. But the problem is that we don’t know who the culprit behind these assassins is. They belong to your sixth brother Tyron, but Tyron could easily say that a few of his men acted on their own.”“I noticed that they had the gun and ax symbol,” Denver pointed out, staring at his bloody palm, frowning a little. “That’s what the officer also had when he tried to shoot me a few days back.”“An officer tried to shoot you?” Catherine was shocked. She was wrapping a bandage around his palm. “When?”“It was taken care of, Cat. Don’t worry.”Despite what D

    After twelve in the night.Diane tried to transfer money from Denver’s diamond card once more, but it didn’t work out.“It keeps saying the same thing that the card is temporarily blocked. Dammit. When is it going to get unblocked? I want to transfer more money so that I can become richer than Hollywood singers and movie stars! I can then even live with the celebrities.”Just then, she heard footsteps outside.She looked to her right.Subrina came home, but she wasn’t alone. Peter Mason was with her.“M-Mom, why is he…” Diane was visibly surprised. “Are you two…”Subrina held Peter’s hand and smiled, “We’ve decided to get married.”Diane’s eyes enlarged. “Whoa, what?”While Peter might be rich, he was known to not spend a penny on a cat or a dog, so why would Subrina want to marry such a man?Diane grabbed Peter’s hand and took him to the side and talked with her.“Are you okay in the head?” Diane hissed in a low voice. “How can you marry such a dangerous man?

    Sheryl didn’t wait for Borg to attack her.Rather, she attacked him first.She created a wooden sword in her left hand and a dagger in her right, both of which had been enhanced by aura.With a single leap, she closed the distance, and the sword sought to behead Borg in a quick diagonal slash.Borg moved his head to the side, but then came the dagger stabbing at his chest.Before he could move, the weapon struck him and put a dent in his armor.He still used that little bit of time and managed to jump back.“That was dangerous…” Borg’s expression changed.“Tsk,” Sheryl slightly frowned. (He calmed down instead of panicking. I guess he isn’t the Fourth Son for no reason.)“The double-dealing technique…” Borg said with a hint of arrogance in his tone. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. But your aura is lacking…” he looked to his left and saw ADE nets. “It seems Gray troubled you before I got here.”“Don’t fret,” Sheryl replied. “Even though I feel like I’m having fear, I can still f

    As the guards swarmed on her, Sheryl asked, “Is Minerva here?”“A dying person doesn’t need to know,” Gray was walking away. “I’m going to start experimenting on Golden Falcon. His genes will help boost our speed, I’m sure.”The guards shot laser bullets at Sheryl.She created wooden armor around herself, but the laser bullets were able to pierce her armor without a problem.On top of that, the aura dispersing nets deteriorated the quality fast, and this didn’t help Sheryl, either.Nevertheless, she used all her energy to burst at once in the form of wooden spikes, which slipped through the gaps in the nets and killed the guards that were all around her.All of them were severely injured, but none of them were dead as they were all augmented humans capable of surviving even with some of the vital organs gravely damaged.Gray turned around and was shocked to see Sheryl freeing herself from the nets.She didn’t break the nets as they were highly sturdy yet flexible.

    “Yellow Tiger…” Elissa’s scornful gaze first fell upon him. “A guardian like you is unable to stop the rankers from doing what they want. But you’ve lost an arm and a leg. This is beyond shameful. You should just retire from your position.”“Ugh,” Yellow Tiger slightly lowered his head in shame. “I’ve got no excuses. I will meet the king soon and give him my resignation letter.”“Mm?” Elissa looked at Borg whose chest wound was deep. But the blood coming out of it was bubbling.It suddenly started to beep and then exploded.Elissa waved her hand and the explosion got sucked into her hand and turned into a ball of black mass.Catherine’s eyes swelled out of her sockets. (D-Did she just cancel out a big explosion? How? What kind of power does she have?)“It seems I was tricked,” Elissa was staring at Borg’s body. It wasn’t moving anymore. “This is just a clone.”“A-A clone?!” Natalia and other council members were stunned. “Then the real one…”“He probably escaped through the ocean,” El

    The slaves of the council members didn’t even have the time to react.The same could be said for most of the council members.Even Yellow Tiger was a fraction of a second late to react.The two laser beams flashed at them.They were supposed to be struck dead; at least most of them.But an aqua shield formed above all of them and deflected the laser beams at the last moment.“Ngh?” Borg frowned.The huge aqua shield looked like a dome. It was spinning around all of them, and the movement made it easier to deflect the laser beams in tangential paths.It was cast by Natalia.“Borg, you have gone too far!” Natalia leaped at him and thrust her sword at his chest.She was fast, but Denver intervened and kicked the sword away.“If we kill him, we won’t know where Minerva is!” Denver blurted.Natalia was surprised to see that Denver had freed himself from the black energy ropes.“H-How did you come out of the ADE rope?” Natalia asked.“I just used spiritual aura, and it disintegrated the rop

    “You’ve got so many skills, Borg, but you won’t be able to defeat those who have polished the few skills they’ve got,” Yellow Tiger tried to roast him with words. “That’s because you mostly focus on acquiring new skills but not so much on sharpening those skills you’ve already got.”“It’s like having a wife who loves you and wants to be loved, but you show love to every other woman that comes your way,” Natalia added. “And you expect yourself to be called a great husband? Nope. That's not how the world works.”“But I never set my sights on marriage,” Borg replied while he charged his hands with energy as silently as possible. “As long as I am better than I was yesterday, I will keep improving. My graph only goes up, and in time, I will master all those skills I’ve got, and I will be more than capable of sitting at the top of the world.”“Hahaha,” the council members started laughing. “Technology sure can help create powerful things, but you do know that aura reigns supreme, don’t you?

    Yellow Tiger was observing the fight between Denver and Borg.“That punk released poisonous flames!” Yellow Tiger didn’t like it. “He doesn’t care about others’ lives. What if the council members breathe those flames and lose their minds?”The council members are generally more resistant to poisons because they were often fed rare herbs that would boost their health and strength.Nevertheless, Borg’s flames were not ordinary.They were living flames,which he could control, thanks to the nanobots present in the flames.These flames didn’t need a fire source as Borg could freely control them.They could burn for as long as he wanted.They could roast anybody he wished.And Borg made sure that those ever-burning flames concentrated on Denver and Catherine.“They can’t seem to escape from those deadly flames,” one of the mothers of the council said, looking up.“Don’t underestimate the lightning ability,” Natalia was saying, and something flew out of the flames and landed on the ground be

    Denver was hesitant to attack the seven horrors as it’d make him look like he was fighting against the council.However, when he saw Borg attacking Catherine, he didn’t care about anything else.His punches electrocuted and incapacitated the seven horrors.Natalia, who was watching that, was shocked to say the least. “My Horrors are not weak to electricity! He must be affecting their blood and messing it up somehow. His blood lightning ability is broken! It’s really annoying.”Her Horrors were not supposed to be dealt with so easily, so Natalia felt it a little embarrassing.Denver was rushing toward Borg, but the cloud beneath his feet turned into a water spear and attacked him out of the blue.Denver dodged it and kept going. But he briefly glanced toward Natalia who just manipulated that cloud and turned it into water.Neither of them said a word, but their gazes weren’t exactly friendly or welcoming each other either.“I should have got him with that surprise attack,” Natalia thou

    Minerva’s clone grinned and thrust her hands straight into his waist, right under the rib cage from both sides.Blood leaked from both corners of Golden Falcon’s mouth.“Sorry, Papa,” she said in a sarcastic tone as Golden Falcon bled from both sides of his waist. “I need you to lose consciousness, so let me put more holes in your body, okay?”Golden Falcon didn’t move.His face was full of hurt, even more so than how much his waist hurt right now.She kept stabbing him at the same two spots, but he didn’t let go of her.He reluctantly tightened the squeeze on her body and the sheer pressure compressed her metallic body.“Papa, stop!” she cried.But he kept going against his will.In the end, he completely crushed her upper body, and her circuits got all messed up.She exploded right there and then.Golden Falcon didn’t even bother to cover himself with aura.He got blown back from the explosion.He suffered bad bruises here and there, but other than that, he was fine.Nevertheless, h
