A man almost lunged at Romeo, shocked by what he had just seen. But fortunately, he was stopped by Carlos, who was present at the scene. At that moment, he sensed something different about Romeo.Even seeing Gina’s reaction, who had spoken with this man earlier, he was sure that Romeo was no ordinary man. The way Romeo moved—with certainty and precision—was clearly something that could only be achieved through extensive experience.“Mr. Carlos, don’t stop me.”Carlos looked at him coldly. “It’s better if you watch and see what happens first.”The man was intimidated by Carlos’s pressure and immediately fell silent. At that moment, he slowly turned his gaze back to Fedric—the man who had seemed weak just moments ago, unable to move at all, was now wiping the blood from his mouth.His reaction caught everyone’s attention, making them more at ease.“Mr. Fedric, are you feeling better?” the doctor quickly asked, keeping a close watch on him.The pale color on Fedric’s face had faded, and

“Master Ferdic! What happened to you?!” A man reached out to support the burly man beside him, but before he could, Ferdic collapsed to the ground.“Master Ferdic!”The panicked cries grew louder, quickly drawing the attention of everyone in the room. In an instant, a crowd had gathered. Master Carlos, who was present, stepped forward to assess Ferdic’s condition.“It seems someone poisoned Master Ferdic, taking advantage of the earlier chaos.”Carlos’s firm statement sent a wave of tension through the crowd. His words felt undeniably true, and murmurs of distress erupted among the people.“Who would dare do such a thing to him?”“Who is the culprit?”The voices of panic and accusation filled the air, but their arguing only added to the confusion rather than solving the problem.Carlos remained silent, his expression dark as he observed the situation. Beside him, Gina finally spoke up.“Father, can’t you do anything to heal him?”Master Carlos shook his head. “No. This is a complicate

The woman stood with her arms folded in front of her chest, tapping her left foot repeatedly on the floor."What's going on, Gina?" Teddy asked, extending his hand forward.He tried to reach Gina, but in the darkness, he struggled. Gina only needed to sidestep slightly for him to fail in his attempt to touch her. Her expression showed clear disdain."You’re stronger than I thought," Gina said, her eyes shifting toward Romeo.Romeo, who had been observing calmly, responded, "So are you."If one could see what he had just done, it would be clear that this woman possessed impressive martial arts skills. In the past few days, Romeo had encountered several individuals with extraordinary abilities.Curiosity stirred within him, and while he formed a few conclusions, he chose not to voice them.Then, the lights finally came back on, and Gina and Romeo both exhaled simultaneously."Isn't this dangerous?" Gina asked calmly, her gaze steady as the people around them screamed loudly, the barrel

Screams echoed repeatedly, but no matter how hard they struggled to break free from the workers' grip, they were still dragged out. Moments later, they were thrown harshly from the luxurious restaurant.The security guards stood at the entrance, their expressions stern and intimidating. The two pitiful figures winced in pain, but not a single person spared them any sympathy."Bastards! Just wait, I’ll sue all of you!" Lily shrieked furiously.Meanwhile, back inside where the commotion had started, the old man sat beside Romeo, watching him closely."This isn’t just surprising for you, Benard," Romeo said calmly.Benard nodded in agreement. If he hadn’t been in the control room earlier, he might never have met Romeo."I’m honored to meet you, Master Romeo," Benard said with sincerity. Then, his gaze fell on the table in front of Romeo, now filled with empty plates. He hesitated before speaking. "Did you enjoy the food here?"He was eager to hear any feedback from the man who had bested

Seeing a man speaking loudly made Lily immediately wear an annoyed expression on her face. She raised her lips and one eyebrow, glaring at the man."Who are you, coming here and interfering in other people's business!?" she snapped, but that wasn't all. "This is my business, so stay out of it!"Lily thought she had resolved the issue, and that the man would no longer interfere in her affairs. But when she turned around, she saw that the restaurant employees were not doing what she wanted. Instead, they were focused on the man who had just arrived.Lily became frustrated and gave them another command. "Hey! Do what I told you to do earlier! Because this company is really going to be ruined!"The employees made strange gestures, bowing their heads. "Mr. Benard, why are you here?"They asked worriedly and then continued to focus on Benard."Who is he, anyway?" Lily asked arrogantly."Mr. Benard is the owner of this place." One of the employees explained to Lily, and the woman looked shoc

She might have felt lucky to have a wealthy boyfriend—someone who always carried an air of dominance. Because at the moment she was unable to move, her boyfriend slammed his fist on the table in front of Romeo.The sudden impact was startling, but it was enough to break Lily free from the suffocating pressure Romeo had placed on her.She took a few seconds to steady her breath, struggling to make sense of the overwhelming sensation she had just experienced.Glancing at her boyfriend, she knew without a doubt that he would retaliate for what had just happened to her."Get lost. You don’t belong here either," Reynold said, his voice dripping with disdain. He didn’t like how Romeo remained so calm, casually eating in front of them as if they were nothing.If what Lily said was true, then the man before him was nothing more than an insignificant nobody. And yet, Reynold felt a particular irritation toward Romeo. After all, the seat Romeo occupied was the one Reynold himself preferred. It

On this mission, they had brought something that surprised the people inside the headquarters; it was very difficult to believe what Vida got.But what she brought was indeed real."So they all live without any human adults among them?" Oliver asked Vida, his gaze so straight and strong. Vida immediately nodded her Head."That's right, they live in a forest that seems to have never even been touched by zombies where they live with five of them helping each other."That was what she had seen before. When they captured the little boy, they used plenty of leftovers and simple tools to survive. It would take a lot of time for them to settle down here. They rebelled hysterically because this place was very different from where they were before, and they feared something bad would happen to them.Oliver knew that small children who could not yet think logically and correctly experienced tremendous fear and were forced to defend themselves. It was clear that they would be vigilant about what

They had started a new life, a year had passed, and they were all trying to survive. There were many houses that they could use, and they also explored the area around them to expand this place.Now a year has passed, and they are looking for survivors to gather; although it is very difficult to find people and find materials that they can use, they sometimes find human figures who managed to survive in the rubble or hide well. From a total of only 45 survivors increased to 60 people where they are, and they are still doing it.The sound of cars could be heard clearly, mostly on the rocky road they travelled. The road in their era now was very destroyed, and they were still very grateful to be able to find a car or so that could be used. The people who worked in the workshop, like Dereck and also George, had tried very hard to be able to make a vehicle that they could use."Turn to the right!" Vida yelled at Jack; she was next to Jack, who was driving the car, and she let the 11-year-

All they had done and struggled with no effort to live well in this extremely chaotic era, they only hoped that they could die in peace, not die from other horrible things. They had to make something from scratch again. But because the people gathered by Oliver had a lot of knowledge and abilities, it became an extraordinary rock for them.After a few weeks of them cleaning up this place and trying to reorganize their lives, there was finally an opportunity where Dereck would talk to Oliver about something. He brought a warm drink and placed it beside Oliver while he sat beside him. They both sat on a tall building looking at the sky before them."You've done such an amazing job in this age of the internet and television, I'm pretty sure that your story would be so amazing that even now it's being made into a book." Dereck spoke until he laughed a little and then sipped his warm drink."They will definitely make a book that is completely useless." Oliver's response was cold; he never

Oliver lifted his face, looked at the green notification screen in front of him, and finally, after a few seconds, he could say something he had been thinking about for a long time."Dae."The grey goblin appeared; he was dressed more neatly than before and looked at Oliver calmly. He looked like a professional now."What's wrong with calling me?" Dae asked as he stared with calm eyes at the man before him.You know what I want to know right away about this notification screen. How come my notifications are green? Is there really not going to be another zombie attack later?" Oliver asked firmly as he stared at the goblin in front of him with quite a sharp gaze, making the goblin smile with his sharp teeth clearly visible."It's true that if that's the case, you should feel very happy because now you won't be facing zombies anymore. now you are all human survivors in this world and you will start a new era."Dae said it excitedly, but it didn't sit well with Oliver. He was angry and gr

Ilda, with the reason for worrying so much about her niece, finally let Oliver have his business with Amelia, allowing the man to interact with Amelia. Apparently, it was a very important thing. While Ilda was on the outside waiting for Oliver to finish his business.In the room, Oliver looked at Amelia, who was taking out something of note, whether it was the sample she had extracted or something else. She showed it to Oliver and made Oliver look at it more intensely than before."I don't know why you can be confident like this, and fortunately, I followed what you wanted because your blood does resist the zombie virus in the zombie's body. This is extraordinary, and I don't know how aggressive it can be. I've never come across anything like this." Amelia exclaimed as she said it. Oliver looked at her with a look that didn't really care about it..."I told you that we could make a vaccine, it's an amazing discovery and could help humans. It turns out that you are the source of that v

"No! No uncle! Come back!"He shouted at great length. The people there immediately realized that something had happened to Oliver. When they saw Oliver, they immediately realized that Oliver had lost someone very important.Then they couldn't stop what they were doing. Now they were focusing on the hard fight they were doing ahead because soon they might face victory. Oliver shed tears from his eyes. He looked at Sam's body lying on his lap for a few seconds, then stood up and held his sword again. That's when he returned to shooting the zombies around him faster than before. He raised his power level, which was very scary for the people there. None of them tried to block Oliver,Throughout the cleanup, Oliver was like a huge thunder. Even after they managed to win the battle, Oliver was still shouting and stabbing the zombies repeatedly that had been so dead before him. The exhausted people looked at Oliver and could only silently monitor the man who had suffered injuries. Not only

The sound of a huge explosion rang out. Even those standing on the same ground felt the tremors and were overwhelmed. Until their expressions became silent, their hearts were beating rapidly, waiting for what would happen next."What?" Tristan asked with a cold look in his eyes at the people who had been staring at him. He walked while patting his body from the dust.Black looked at him coldly. "You just blew that up and won this battle, but your reaction was very calm, Hawk." Next to Black was Star, looking at him with a smile. They weren't surprised by what Tristan did anymore, they knew his abilities were unreasonable."They are the enemy after all, and it would be an honour for me to win this battle. And how about you guys get some rest?" Tristan acted casually. He moved his hand, and they got into the same car and immediately moved out of the area. Victory had already been declared, and the invasion was about to take place as the soldiers moved further ahead than before.As for

On the peninsula that was the closest border between the two countries, this war had been going on for more than a week, and people from all sides had described the news.Since they agreed to a ceasefire, they took it seriously, and the ceasefire was to take a month, but there seemed to be a slight difference beyond the prediction of one of them."This is impossible! Our country is a strong country that cannot be defeated by them! There is something strange about them. How could they hire such powerful mercenaries?" The man looked at them with a fierce gaze. The people before him also looked worried because they couldn't find the answer. "You know that the Black group is not a group that can be easily contacted. Then they have allies and also a very large war fleet!" repeatedly, he tried to think about it but could not find the answer. Even the people he trusted did not find the answer to his question.All good things should belong to them, not their enemy.He looked at the large scre

Everyone in the room was staring at him intensely. They didn't want to take their eyes off Tristan. He was the object of their attention. His presence here was of great interest to them because of his actions in making news that shocked their country and other countries.Tristan was calm. He sat in his chair and would occasionally glance at them, but he let them enjoy the time to pay attention to him."You are so crazy that every time you go on vacation, you bring something extraordinary. No one has ever done anything like this, Tristan." Gaston deliberately patted Tristan's shoulder a few times to break the ice and to compliment Tristan.He was the one who was proud of the things Tristan did. It was like he was raising his own son.He knew that some people here underestimated Tristan, saying the new kid could never do things like give back to their country.Yes, experience was what was needed, and Tristan did not have it,Charles, who is the Minister of Defense, finally exhaled. "Wel

The atmosphere in the place became tenser than before. Tristan had already noticed Calden's expression."Why are you talking like that?" Tristan spoke with great calmness and attention to the situation and conditions here.He didn't show any arrogance at all and was pressing at the same time."Just think that rather than us having to provide you with assistance, it would be easier to clear you out here so that there would be no information leakage at all." Calden glanced at the person nearby. The big man immediately pulled out a gun and wanted to attack Tristan. Whereas Tristan had anticipated something like this and had defeated the people there quickly, he sat back again casually while drinking his drink.After drinking his drink, he looked at the two brothers more sharply than before. "Are you still going to do something like that to me again?" Tristan's words made Calden smile. He liked the way people could think calmly."Of course not. I don't like that country either, and you're

The pounding of their hearts was still very much present, strong and even as if it could tear their chests. Calius was unable to say anything. He was even still breathing up until now. It was an unreported miracle, and the shot had left Sawyer helpless on the floor. The shot hit his head, blood flowed, and Calius turned his eyes to Tristan, the man he had just known for a day, his brother. The man stood calmly. He was the centre of attention there and immediately made Calius admire that person.The man was soon already in front of him, using his hands to help him stand up. Calius slowly stood up and looked at Tristan. "Was it my sister who hired you to save me?" He paused momentarily as the man before him looked him up and down. "Who are you?"She felt strange about all this,Calius felt quite strange about Tristan's abilities. He only knew this man was a businessman, not a mercenary or assassin they usually hired. A businessman meddling in other people's business and putting himself

Tristan was seen watching his front, his eyes moving slowly in a slow but severe manner. He stood alone on the tree in a black media outfit specialized for this mission.After that, he used binoculars to look at the situation before him. "I'm very lucky to have a system like this. The system is after preparing whatever I need even though it's sometimes annoying." He lowered the binoculars and came down from the tree he had been climbing for half an hour.The items he was currently using had just been obtained from the system. When he wanted to get ready at his temporary residence in Mayness, he immediately got a package from the system. A package that was very useful when he was doing his duties here.He had learned about the situation that the two people who were the ones who were going to provide assistance to his country were very important, they were brothers who protected each other, and besides they kept information about the country, they also kept information about themselves.
