Arthur stared at the message glowing on his phone screen, disbelief knitting his brows.

“Come to Salvador’s Clinic. Now.”

Salvador’s Clinic — the same place where Madam Ayun had taken her last breath.

Does this have something to do with Mom? Is that why Rachel’s calling me? he wondered, but quickly dismissed the thought. If something were wrong, Mason would’ve said something.

Still, as he looked at the message, a strange pull tightened his chest.

Even though Rachel had humiliated him, he couldn’t deny that he had once cared for her. But that was the past. They were divorced now, and she had clearly moved on. He had no intention of getting tangled in her web again.

With a tired sigh, Arthur tossed his phone onto the bed and leaned back. Today had been exhausting enough; he needed rest. His mother’s funeral was in three days. That alone was more than he could bear.

Meanwhile, at the top floor of Salvador’s Clinic, chaos was brewing.

Rachel paced the sterile hallway,

    The warning pulsed again in Arthur’s vision, red and merciless.WARNING: HOST IS ABOUT TO FAIL THE QUEST.> ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE.Arthur's lips twitched. Until now, he had been content with letting Mason and Leon do the work, but it seemed like the system didn't agree with that. “Stop,” Arthur said.His voice was low, but loud enough to reach Leon's ears causing him to pause. “Young master?” Mason called, wondering if they had mistaken his silence and somehow gotten him angry. Arthur turned to Leon instead. “Leave him to me.” His words quelled Mason's worry, but John's heightened.Something behind the glint in Arthur's eyes told him it would be so much worse if Arthur were to get involved. “Mr Price, I know I have offended you, but please let me go. I promise never to show my face in your presence again.” John begged, repeatedly knocking his head on the floor. It was just a single step forward, but the air seemed to tighten around him.Leon stopped in his tracks instinctively

    John cried loudly, but Arthur wasn't ready to spare him as much as a glance. Did John really think he could move him with fake tears and a few words?He can only dream!“Mr Price, please.” John grovelled, dragging his knees on the ground. A far cry from his earlier boasting self.“Don't disturb the young master.” Mason cut in, stopping John before he could touch Arthur. “I believe once Mr Walter arrives, he will deal with you.” Hearing Mr Walter’s name, John felt miserable. Didn't that mean it was the end of him?Indeed it was, because a second later, a car hastily pulled over.“Mr Mason,” A sweat drenched Walter hurried out of the car, his back bent over with a flattering smile on his face. “Sorry, I kept you waiting.” He fawned.Mason snorted coldly. “I believe you came here to handle someone and not for pleasantries. My young master is not a very patient person.” Being told off coldly, Walter didn't take offense instead he nodded repeatedly, his smile not falling. In his mind

    Arthur squinted at the interface. How was he to assert his dominance?Lost in thought, Arthur ignored everyone around him, making John believe Arthur was scared. He puffed out his chest, pride swirling in his heart as he sneered. So what if Arthur was a rich young master?As long as John had never heard of him, it meant that the family either didn't exist or was in huge decline!He brought out his cuffs intending to handcuff Arthur, but the sound of the cuffs jingling snapped Arthur out of his thoughts. With one fluid move, Arthur freed himself from John's grip, putting a distance between them. John blinked, holding the cufflinks and staring at Arthur in confusion. In truth, John hadn't really seen Arthur and Velius battle because he was trying to find cover from the destruction.“How did you do that?” Arthur merely looked at him like he was a kid. He motioned to Mason. “Call the deputy over.”Since the system wanted him to assert his dominance, Arthur figured he would start f

    John, the young officer in charge puffed out his chest, reaching for his gun. “Stay where you are, or I will shoot you!”“Officer, I think you have the wrong people,” Leon answered grimly, but John would be a fool to pass on an opportunity like this. This was his first mission, and John was eager to impress his higher-ups before anyone else came to steal the credit. It was only a matter of time before the press got here since the explosion was so loud. “You have the right to remain silent. You are all under arrest for terrorist attacks.” His announcement instantly stunned Mason and Leon. Terrorist attack?Even Arthur was surprised.With the silver falcon present, they was figured that should have given the cop enough reason to let them be.Mason stepped forward. “Officer, as you can see, this is a family dispute. I hope you won't take it seriously and let us go.”“A family dispute?” John repeated, scoffing. “Can a family dispute cause a whole factory to explode?”“Officer. This…

    > YOUR BRAIN WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING IN FIVE SECONDS. SYNCHRONIZE WITH SYSTEM OR DIE. > YES / NO? Arthur stared at the translucent interface hovering before him, shock freezing his thoughts. A system? Wasn’t this something that only existed in novels and comics? The kind he used to read late into the night when life felt unbearably unfair? So why… was it here? Questions flooded his mind—but the system was merciless. A cold mechanical alarm blared inside his skull. > TWO SECONDS UNTIL BRAIN DEATH. MAKE YOUR CHOICE. > YES / NO? Arthur panicked. Two seconds. Did that mean—this time—there would be no coming back? There was no time to think. Live. Arthur chose YES. > SYNCHRONIZATION CONFIRMED. CONGRATULATIONS, HOST. YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BOUNDED WITH THE SYSTEM. > ACTIVATING: HEALING BOOST. ACTIVATING: PLAYER REVIVAL. A blinding light engulfed Arthur’s body. The pain surged violently—then dragged him into darkness. … Leon sprinted through the wreckage, panic twisti

    "Young master!"Arthur's body plunged straight down from the air, creating a huge cloud of dust as it hit the floor.Bang!The sound of his body hitting the floor sounded like a bag of rice weighing a thousand kilograms shaking the ground on impact.Coughs filled the air as the smoke cleared.Velius hovered above midair, his cold eyes gleaming with killing intent.Bright red blood streamed down his right hand, dripping like rain. The evidence of his brutality and the life he had just claimed."Mason," Velius' voice rang as he began. "Send my condolences to the Price family, and you can also tell him to stop looking for Elara if he doesn't want to bury her, too. It's only a matter of time before the entire Price family is erased. So he should surrender while he still can or watch everything he built go up in flames.""You bastard!" Mason roared, his eyes red with angry tears."No matter how hard you curse, you can't do anything to my master or me." Velius boldly declared, however, at t
