"Las Vegas, I'm back."Damien breathed in the smell of water nourished with the hint of the urban world."Am I really back to Vegas? Really?"It was too good to be true. It felt like his body had been projected into a sort of simulation. He closed his eyes, sniffed then opened them again."It's real. I'm back in Vegas. The home which felt like a fugitive place. A home where I was ridiculed and made to feel like a stranger... a trash!""But it's different now. Things are different."The tone of his voice went deep, his voice breathy."Dear Las Vegas, this isn't the Damien you used to know. Not the garbage that could be tossed to a trash can.""I'm a diamond in the dirt and I ain't being found. An underground king, yet to be crowned.""I'm no longer the weak and fragile slave. I'm no longer the poor and wretched youth.""I'm the king of an island!!! A dread to the Cannibals!!! One who snapped the head of a giant polar bear in the blink of an eye, dislocating the limbs of an adult lion!"

Damien had stopped at a clothing store and bought new clothes. A simple blue top, whitewashed jean pants and a pair of his favorite all-star shoes. He had kept the timberland in the system store.He pushed the glass and fancy door of the office open and stepped in. He was greeted by a sort of coziness. Something fake and unnatural. For the past two months he had been used to only natural breeze. Probably by time, he would get used to the AC.There was a man seated at a work table. He had white overall lab coat on. A pair of lens seated on the rim of his big nose. His face bent on goodness-knew-what he was busied with. A doctor. Damien in a hospital."How may I help you?"The doctor asked without looking up."Uhmm... I'm Damien.""Damien who?"Damien moved closer to the table, standing behind the chair locked to that side of the table."My grandpa was admitted here about two months ago. He was due to be released two weeks later, at that point in time. But one thing led to the other and

"Laurette... what happened to her?"Damien pushed back the system window in. He was pacing the living room of the hotel room which he had slept in overnight. He had just watched the discussion of the girls and saw Laurette slump.It was evening the next day and he had paid people to dig out his father's corpse earlier the day. He had also taken the corpse to a morgue for the meantime and paid enough money for the embalming. He had grabbed two burgers and a bottle of soda which he had been surviving on through the day. He wasn't really famished, but could swear that tasting a burger again after two months seemed utopian.He also knew that he couldn't dwell on the death of his grandpa for long. He still felt like he had wronged the old man and wouldn't be able to give him the life he had mapped out. But then he had sworn to make everyone who knew about his death pay as well as give a very grand funeral party than no one had ever witnessed across the world.After getting all the personal

"That fool! How could he be so dumb? So what if he has power? He thinks I would really feel responsible to him? Not even Solomon or Steven would be that dumb to entrust two gold statues... fucking red gold statues to a stranger. Waah... that guy is really a great fool. I haven't seen a fool so ---"The man seemed to had had enough of his own talks. He walked closer to the two red gold statues and traced his finger through the limb of one of the statues which was about nine ft tall. Each. "What a beauty!"He chuckled. "Where did this bastard get these from? Did he steal them?"He walked to the other statue and cupped the balls of the statue in his rough hand. "What huge balls. Big dick."He cackled. "I'm so dumb."He turned his back to the statue and positioned his ass to the head of the statue's big cock. "Yes, daddy... fuck me..."He fell down on his face laughing so loudly and rolling on the floor. When he had had enough, he got up on his feet. All serious, with a dead stare. Y

The truck which was followed by two SUVs and a Mecedes Benz G-class pulled over at a lone street. The street looked hardly trodden and was dead quiet.As soon as the truck pulled over, the three cars which were behind it did too. The vehicles were positioned thus: the truck at the forefront, followed by an SUV, the G-wagon and then the last SUV.Out of the two SUVs ran out several hencemen dressed in black suits. They hurried to the G-wagon and made a file at both sides. As soon as the door of the G-wagon was pulled opened by one of the men, all the men went in a conforming bow at once."Steven the Lord. Steven our boss!"They chorused on top of their voices. Steven stepped out of the car. He had changed his shoes. Also, the numbers of the henchmen had reduced significantly!The henchmen led him through an alley till they bursted out into an open and busy street. Opposite them was a restaurant.Point in time they left the truck, the big two backdoors of the truck opened and out of it
