Russell quickly checked Regan’s pulse. He could barely feel it. He immediately began to press his chest and also called for an ambulance simultaneously. He then called Jessica’s mobile and told her what’s happening.She didn’t believe him, thinking he was pranking her, but she still came to check Regan’s room. And she was shocked that Russell was indeed telling her the truth.“Slap his inner elbow on the other hand,” Russell told her while he was pressing Regan’s chest with one hand and was also tapping the left inner elbow in the other hand.“A-Are you sure this will work?” Jessica tensely asked him. A lot of thoughts rushed through her mind. What if Regan were to die now? What would happen to the game? What would happen to her job? Her career? Moreover, what if people blamed her that it was her negligence that caused this? And she began to sweat without herself knowing.“Just trust me and keep doing it,” Russell assured her. And she believed him and mimicked what he was doing. She n

The next morning.Russell woke up and didn’t find Elora in the room. He saw food on the table and also a letter.“I’m going out on some work. I will be back before sunset,” she wrote.“Where did she go out so early in the morning?” Russell wondered.In the Creed hospital.Regan was talking with Charlotte.“I’m so sorry and sad that this happened to you, Mr. Regan,” Charlotte pitifully said. “Do you remember what you ate that morning?”“Oh, it’s not the food that’s the issue,” Regan told her.“Then, what could it be?”“I’m old enough to hurt my heart from sneezing or coughing, so anything could act as a trigger,” Regan said.“What did the doctors say?”“Whatever they say, I know what to do,” Regan said. “The body heals itself if stress can be relieved. So I should just do my best to not stress myself out.”“Does that mean you’re going to step down as the CEO?” Charlotte asked without hesitation.Regan glanced at her for a second and said, “I haven’t decided anything, but we’ll see what

“After I came to this country, I suffered from a lot of stress,” Elora explained to her dad. “I was able to work many part-time jobs every day, but everywhere, my superiors tried to take advantage of me. Maybe it’s because I’m a foreigner, I might have appeared like an easy target for them. Some of them even came to the apartment I’m staying at and began to really bother me. I went to the police station, and the officer warned those men, but then began to harass me by bringing food, drugs, and alcohol to my apartment. He began to call me and send letters dozens of times every day. I was so terrified by that officer’s actions that I was thinking of returning back home.”Regan’s eyes widened. “Then why didn’t you come back?”“Because one day, that officer was harassing me at a traffic junction when I was returning from work…” Elora said. “He was trying to touch me, asking me to wear the dress he bought for me. I was so afraid that he was going to undress me there in the middle of the st

At an open restaurant inside Creed Zone.“You want to join a technical support associate?” the HR manager was snorting at Denver. “With your resume?”“Sir, I don’t have job experience, but I’m good with integrating systems,” Denver desperately explained himself. “Just give me a task, and I’ll not disappoint you.”“The hardware assembly used for Dream Creed is much more complex than what you are taught in colleges or private workshops,” the HR manager blurted. “Even experienced technical support specialists will have to be very careful when handling our equipment, despite all the encapsulation done to make things easier to understand. If you are thinking of using our code to write your own scripts, then you forget about it because we hide that information under many levels of security that’s well-guarded by three supercomputers. Hacking even a little bit of code, be it an attribute or a method used in programming, is not possible even if you work at it for decades.”“I only came here f

Russell and Denver were almost two hundred feet away, and they were stunned just like everyone else.Denver was so shaken, he began to run away.The criminals continued to shoot until they emptied their magazines. At least two hundred bullets were shot. Though it was an armored car, many bullets still managed to break into the car.Other than Russell and a couple other people, everyone else ran away from the scene.The two people in the car were not moving.“Drag them out,” the boss of the criminals said. He was 6 feet 6 inches tall and was bulky. “We’ll behead them and put their heads for display.”Two criminals were walking toward the car, but then the doors opened. Both Liam and David stepped out, and they were completely unhurt.The criminals stepped back in utter puzzlement and confusion and shock.“What the fuck?” the boss of the criminals couldn’t comprehend what he was seeing.“Who do you want me to kill first?” David asked.“You can deal with everyone else except the boss,” L
