Alexandra Lemar was sitting on an elegant sofa in the main hall of the Walton mansion. The piece of furniture was white with pure gold details, perfectly matching the rest of the décor.

Alexandra’s elegance was evident just by looking at her sitting there, wearing a short, pastel cream-colored dress that showed off her long, perfect legs as she sat sideways.

—Boom!—

The loud noise startled Alexandra, making her jump slightly from the shock. However, it was only Theo approaching her with a bottle of champagne in his hands. He had just popped the bottle and was also carrying a pair of empty glasses.

Alexandra felt a great sense of relief upon realizing it was just a stupid cork, placing her hand over her chest and exhaling calmly. After spending the day watching Theo kill Hillary, she couldn’t feel completely at ease in the house of a murderer.

"Today is a perfect day to celebrate," Theo said as he poured the champagne into the two glasses.

"I don’t drink, thanks," Alexandra said, wrink

    Theo Walton turned on the drill and effortlessly managed to bore into the head of a mannequin with Ricco’s face taped to it. He was practicing on that plastic dummy before drilling into the real bastard’s brain. The drill bit left a perfect hole in the mannequin’s forehead—just as Theo had intended.“It’s perfect,” Theo said.“Can we start?” asked the head of security.“Immediately,” Theo Walton replied, and thus began the walk toward the room where the prisoners were being held.The smile on Theo’s face stretched from his left ear to his right. He felt immense satisfaction as he held the drill and walked down the dark hallway, escorted by his guards.However, his smile disappeared the moment he saw the door to the room smashed open. Jack had broken a huge hole in the wood to escape.Theo ran quickly, only to find Ricco’s corpse hanging from the wall with his skull crushed.It was a grim scene, but it didn’t shock Theo in the slightest. On the contrary, he felt incredibly stupid for n

    "Are you hungry? Would you like some dinner?" Pomi kindly asked Jack."Do you have food in this place?""Yes," Pomi replied, surprised by Jack’s astonishment.Pomi showed Jack the remains of some hot dogs, hamburgers, and slices of pizza he had picked out of the trash. That would be their dinner for the night, and he was generously willing to share it chivalrously with Jack."No, man. Uh... I’ll pass," Jack said with a nervous smile.He didn’t want to be rude, but he also didn’t want to eat trash, even if it meant hurting a homeless man’s feelings. He was sure he hadn’t fallen that low just yet."Great... more for me."Pomi sat down on his bed and began to eat eagerly, devouring all that food he had salvaged, while Jack felt his stomach churn with disgust."Have you been living here long?" Jack asked, warming himself by the fire and noticing that the cardboard under him didn’t feel so bad after all."I don’t know.""You don’t know?""I’ve lost count. Maybe twenty years, maybe two mont

    "I need a serious challenge with a significant reward in skill and power," said Jack as he walked down an abandoned road.He wore a black sweater and had the hood pulled up to cover his head. Now he needed to hide his identity from all the security cameras. He knew perfectly well that Theo Walton was hunting him down with all his bodyguards. So he had to be extremely careful."I'm willing to do whatever it takes. You can test me. I'm going to entertain you a lot. Want to laugh at your sick little games? I'm your guy."Jack was heading toward the system to challenge it. He wanted to boost his skills and power to the maximum.

However, he knew it was the only way to increase his strength and skills to fight Theo Walton.But Jack also knew he wasn't a killer. It had been one thing to kill Ricco and Kriss. They had done terrible things in their lives, and that made it easier to take them out. However, killing an innocent person was a completely different matter. He wondered if he would have the courage to do it when the time came. But there was no turning back now. All of Theo's men were on his trail. He couldn’t afford to waste time."I accept," Jack said as he made his way toward the city's underground subway station.The San Luis station was the closest to where Jack was.

Many women were nervous and worried about the man’s health. However, the concern escalated to the maximum when they heard the train rapidly approaching. The expressions on the passengers' faces were pure horror and overwhelming worry. They had to get that man out of there, or the train would tear him into many different pieces."It was that guy!" shouted a woman, pointing at Jack."That's right!""Yeah, I saw it too!"People said, accusing Jack, who had frozen for a moment as he realized what he had done. But he quickly snapped out of it and began running with all his strength to flee the crime scene.As he

    Detective Brooks had been very busy that morning when he received the call from Theo Walton."Detective Brooks?" asked Theo when the detective finally answered."This is him. Who am I speaking with?" he asked."This is Theo Walton.""Theo Walton? I don't understand why someone like you would be calling me.""I suppose you haven't been watching the news lately," said Theo."I'm not a man of show business, Mr. Walton," said Detective Brooks."The news channel," Theo suggested.Detective Brooks grabbed the TV remote and turned it on, tuning into the channel Theo was suggesting.On the TV, a very beautiful reporter was urgently delivering breaking news. The images showed the San Luis station and the people who had witnessed Jack's terrible terrorist act.There was also an extra report covering the people attending the wake of the millionaire rancher. Coincidentally, the cameras had caught the culprit’s face, and he was now fully identified."His name is Jack Stanton. He is very dangerous

    Jack’s reflexes and skills had noticeably improved. He immediately realized he was much faster and that his body felt as light as a feather. It took no effort for him to land on his feet in Mr. Sprinter’s garden without injuring his ankles. Even so, he was still too weak to face Theo. He also knew perfectly well that he wasn't invisible. Bullets could easily kill him, and the window glass had slightly cut some parts of his skin. That was why he kept running and didn’t confront the police.“He’s fleeing east,” said one of the officers as he watched Jack run between the houses.“Set up a perimeter around the entire neighborhood. We can’t let him get away,” Detective Brooks ordered a few miles away through the handheld radio.Detective Brooks had just been appointed as the lead on the Jack Stanton case and was now responsible for capturing him, dead or alive.

    Pomi was heading back to his home under that bridge after spending the whole day rummaging through the city's trash containers. It was already night, and the poor homeless man pushed a shopping cart while whistling a catchy tune.That’s when he got the fright of his life. Seeing Jack standing there by the fire almost gave him a heart attack. He clutched his chest to calm his racing heart."What the hell are you doing here? Trying to scare me to death?" Pomi asked with his slow, slurred voice."I need you to let me stay one more night," Jack said, shivering from the cold as he held out his hands toward the fire burning inside the metal barrel."Oh, Jack..." Pomi walked a little and sat on his makeshift cardboard bed. "Mi casa es tu casa. You can stay as long as you want," he said in a tired voice after a deep sigh."Thanks! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it," Jack said, still trembling.At that very moment, his stomach growled so loudly that even Pomi, several meters away, hear

However, Lix was much faster and managed to hide it behind her back."I think the one who’s gone completely crazy is you. Besides, it can’t be deleted. It’s one of the terms and conditions you agree to when you download the app. Besides, who would want to delete a goldmine like this?" Lix said, feeling the euphoria rush through her veins."It could be a pirated app with a virus. The money might not even be real. Or worse, it could be foreign criminals trying to launder money, and now you’re their accomplice," Kloe exclaimed as she tried again to grab the phone from Lix."That’s enough, Kloe!" Lix shouted seriously and definitively. "I think you worry too much, but I never asked you to take care of me like a child.

    Rex watched in horror as the news reported the death of an elderly man in a nursing home very close to where he lived. He was walking straight to Kloe’s house and took the opportunity to check his social media. Detective Brooks's name was trending, as he was an old-time hero being honored throughout the city.He put his phone in his pocket and got ready to jump over the wooden fence surrounding Kloe’s house. He climbed up and jumped, landing on the garden lawn while holding a bag in his hand. The bag was plastic and protected the clothes inside.He started looking for small rocks all over the garden and began throwing them at the second-floor window. That was the window to Kloe’s bedroom. So it didn’t take long for her to open it.“Rex?” whispered Kloe, trying not to let her parents hear her.“Are you masturbating?” joked Rex.“Shut up, you idiot!

Are you okay?” her mother called from the kitchen after hearing the thud.“Yes, Mom!” Kloe replied from the floor. “I’m a mess,” she whispered to herself.“Rex just got here!” her mother announced.“That’s fine, Mom.

    Detective Stranger personally took Jack to an old house in the city center, a gift from the mayor so he could live out the few remaining years of his life in peace.“We're here! Home sweet home!” said Detective Stranger, pushing Jack’s wheelchair.“It’s... It’s... Beautiful,” said Jack in a tired, worn-out voice, as if he were suffocating.“It was an honor to meet such a famous person from 50 years ago. I wish you the best of luck,” said Detective Stranger kindly.Jack noticed that this man was truly kind. At last, a good man was holding the city's detective position. He was very different from Detective Brooks of 50 years ago.The city had changed a lot in those 50 years. There were many more buildings, and the cars were far more advanced and high-tech. However, life in the city still held the same essence as always.The poor still had to remain poor so that the rich and powerful could maintain their privileged position.Many might have thought that by now we’d be traveling in flying

    “My father? What could you possibly know about my father?” Jack asked with suspicion.“Carl Stanton is the one who locked us in this place,” Josh confessed.“Just put that spoon down and let’s talk for a bit,” Bob requested.Jack finally felt curious about what those old men were saying. Clearly, they weren’t crazy as he had thought. They weren’t deranged killers like the media had made the world believe.He slowly lowered the spoon and decided to trust those three complete strangers he had never seen before.“Good heavens,” Aaron exclaimed.“I’m too old for this,” said Bob, placing a hand on his chest in relief.“Who are you? And how did you end up locked in this place?” Jack asked, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery.“We’ve got a lot to talk about, kid. We’d better head to the garden,” Josh said kindly.Jack agreed and left the bathroom with the three men, walking to the gardens to sit and talk calmly.“I’m glad you didn’t kill us,” Josh said as he sat down.“You wouldn’t hav

    The next day, the door opened and a nurse named Dick, according to his badge, entered the room. He was an overweight teenager in a foul mood, constantly showing his anger through arched eyebrows and a hateful stare.“Bath time,” said Dick, clearly annoyed.Dick hated his job, but he couldn’t quit. It was the only way to pay for his studies.“I could swear I heard you couldn’t walk,” Dick said when he saw Jack get out of bed on his own.Jack stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Dick to make a move to try to bathe him.Dick tried to grab Jack, but Jack quickly stepped aside. A slight turn was all it took to dodge the out-of-shape overweight teen.“Don’t move. I have to take you to the showers,” insisted Dick.“You and how many more?” Jack asked, speaking in a muffled voice through the muzzle that completely covered his mouth.Dick stepped back slightly to press his manual alarm. All the nurses carried one in their pockets and triggered it in case of trouble.Immediately, three b

    The electric shocks had caused a decline in Jack. They had made him submissive and less aggressive. Since he arrived he was receiving an electric attack every time he raised his voice. It caused him to stop fighting and now he just obeyed every order Dr. Helix gave him to avoid further suffering. "Sit down!" said Dr. Helix pointing to a gurney where he wanted Jack to sit. Detective Brooks entered the office to be present that morning for the daily therapy Jack was to face. Jack sat submissively and quietly while dressed in a blue clinical gown. "Why did you remove his restraints?" asked Detective Brooks very concerned, "You have no idea how dangerous this patient can be," he exclaimed. "You have nothing to worry about, detective!", assured Dr. Helix as he raised his hand in a pausing manner to ask for the detective's calm. "He murdered 35 people. Of course I have to worry."
