Jessica was talking on stage in a seminar conducted for the programmers working for Dream Creed.“We’re going to be working late hours for the first few months,” she told everyone. “So be prepared for it. Of course, you’re going to receive a fat bonus if you do a good job. Those are not my words, but my boss’ words.”“Ma’am,” one of the women raised their hands. “These past few days, our company has been greatly attacked by the media.”“Isn’t it only natural for others to envy us when we’re doing great?” Jessica replied.“No, it’s not about that, ma’am, but… what do you think about their statement that there aren’t enough female programmers in this company? I mean, we’re talking about a 1:14 female to male ratio here. Isn’t that unfair and strange?”“What’s so strange about it?” Jessica retorted. “Can you, as a woman, stay at night and work long hours every day, even as a programmer? I don’t think so. Women have many things to consider compared to men who are built to work outside. So

A few minutes earlier.“Thank you for not just healing me,” Roddick bowed before an old lady who was wearing a rabbit mask, “but also revitalizing me. I feel like my bones have gotten stronger. Now, I can do much more than I ever imagined. Coming to this city is more than worth it. Thank you.”“No big deal, kid,” she kept her voice indifferent. “Just don’t forget to make the world suffer. That’s all I want from you. Sow seeds of chaos wherever you go. The world deserves it for stealing so much from us.”“I will definitely do it, ma’am,” Roddick said.She used an electronic device to open a portal.Roddick looked astonished. (I want to take the blueprints for this advanced technology, but it’s still too early for that. I have to gain their trust, and then when it’s time, I’ll conquer this city!)“Where do you want to go?” She asked.Regan thought about it for a moment. “I initially planned to deal with my worst enemy, Liam Lynn, who humiliated me! But now, I feel like I can kill him an

When the clones received the alert, they all rushed toward the location where Roman was, but not all of them rushed to the exact location where he was. Some of them spread out all around the island, and some began to take strategic locations, whereas some others began to climb the castle in order to protect it from outside threats.They were all doing as per the protocol.However, when the clones climbing the castle heard Elsin’s voice, they sent a message to Roman who was fighting David with the clones on his side.Roman immediately ordered the clones to save his son at all costs.And so more than two thousand clones hurriedly climbed down the castle and rushed at Russell.“Shit.” Russell ran back into the cafeteria and took the elevator and went underground.“You better leave me alone,” Elsin was sadistically laughing, “or you have no chances of escaping from this place.”“I’m not letting you go until I leave this island,” Russell told him, “so shut your mouth!”When the elevator op

“If you didn’t get captured, then you came here out of your own volition? Why?” Liam asked Regan.Regan just didn’t have the strength to keep talking while his whole body was aching. He fell to his knees.“Hey! Don’t die on me, you geezer!” Liam lowered himself and tried to help.“It is touching to see two hardcore rivals care for one another,” Roman smirked. “But I’m just not in the mood for watching soap-opera right now. So, I will have both of you beaten to a pulp. No, let’s make that three.” He tossed David into their midst with one hand, showcasing his superhuman strength.Liam still wanted to fight him, but he was surrounded by hundreds of clones, so if he were to jump forward, they’d all jump at him.“Now then, time to flatten your faces,” Roman clapped his hands.All the clones jumped at Liam, Regan, and David from every direction in a very synchronized manner so that they didn’t collide with one another.Just then, Roman received an alert message.*An intruder has entered the

In the private jet, Roddick hesitantly came out of the bathroom and looked around. He couldn’t see any clones, inside the jet or outside.“Where did they all go?”He thought he was going to get caught by them because a couple of them entered the jet and began to check everything. However, they suddenly left in a rush.Otherwise, he would have had to definitely fight them.“I don’t know what happened, but something or someone definitely helped me,” Roddick thought. “I can’t be here for long. I should look for a better place to hide. And this Payseur family is much more dangerous than I thought. These clones were not human. They seem like superhumans given how fast they were operating. I came here without taking that into account. Taking over the Payseur is not something that I can do alone. I have to plan for it and strike it at the right time. Though this is a good time where I can use the chaos to my advantage, I didn’t bring any forces with me. I don’t want to risk my life against t
