Miranda couldn't quite look Con in the eye again and Con found it amusing.He could tell the lady probably didn't. She still seemed shocked, and maybe shy.Con wiped the smile off his face and wore a more serious expression.He had given her the flash drive, not to make her feel ashamed or trashy, but to make her find peace within herself.Whoever put that hologram in the toilet of the eighth floor was probably sick in the head, and they would have their name on his enemy list when he finally got it, and he would get it.He would, but for now they still had to get the three cards and two artifacts.He had only retrieved the map to getting the sigil and the scepter. Miranda would have to still get them from wherever they were being kept, and since she didn't seem inclined to tell him the whereabouts of said artifacts, he would assume she already had that sorted out and she didn't need his help.She needed his help in getting the cards though, and to do that she would have to look at

Jane stared at the Nurain building. The fact that she was staring at a place that was like a second home to her was disturbing. Nurain was almost like a family house to her now, she always felt happy whenever she saw the high rise building looming in front of her, and she felt even happier going into the building and making sure everything was fine as she went about her work. This place was a place of liberation to her. She had been happy working here, but had something changed in the past few days. To be more specific, someone had changed and Jane took a deep breath as she started walking towards the building. It was undeniable now. Adeline wasn't the lady everyone thought she was. Not at all. It wouldn't be easy adjusting to this new reality, but she would find a way to go about it. Con was still missing and Nurain was where he had been last spotted. He could come back here and explain everything that happened to her. It was possible. But she really wasn't putting her hopes o

"You're not serious about this are you?"Con sighed and turned to give Miranda an exasperated look.She was getting more and more worried and that in turn made him feel agitated.Why would a woman keep on feeling worried? Con found himself smirking.Was she developing feelings for him?"Why do you think what I want to do is so bad?""I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's a bad idea."Con walked over to her and sat down near her."Why?" They had been going back and forth on this all day, and time was running out.His mission wasn't over yet. He still had to get the rest of the cards and Miranda wasn't motivating him to do so.To begin with, he had come up with this plan, one he was set to carry out at their family dinner tonight but yet here she was dissuading him and telling him not to do it.She was even saying it was a bad idea. Con a frown forming on his face. He didn't have bad ideas. His ideas were always realistic and top notch. He didn't aim for what was impossible, but

Con cleared his throat."So this is how we're going to do this. I am now in control of your family's mega advanced artificial intelligence system. It will kill who I want it to kill, but I guess I don't really need to explain this right?"The silence at the table was resounding and Con chuckled as he nodded his head.Good thing they all understood quickly and they were scared for their lives.He continued."The AI has been programmed to kill whoever makes the slightest move, so I won't advise you to move too much, and as for the part where you're confused about what is happening, I'll explain later. For now, I need the cards."Con watched everyone at the table and noted each expression that flickered past on their faces. They didn't let too much emotion show but one thing was obvious, they were scared.He felt like laughing.Con let his eyes drift over to Xavier and he nodded to him.A high pitched whirring sound was heard and the next minute, the smell of sweet lemons invaded the wh

Con fell asleep in the car and had a dream.In the dream, his mother sang to him while he was still a baby in his cot. In her hand was a pentagon-like object. She waved it in front of his little baby hands and smiled her beautiful smile down at him.The dark object gleamed with an eerie light and Con found himself waking up with unrivaled calm and peace of mind.The day was just starting and he was already getting confused.Con sighed and sat up on the bed.His head was hurting and his eyes burned.He had fallen asleep last night on the way to Glover city. It was either Xavier had gotten them lost or the path they took through the forest had elongated the journeyHe could feel his back aching from how long he had to sit and endure the journey. He had slept off at some point after the moon came out.But that wasn't a problem now. As long as he was back in Glover city and he was back to his normal life.Con scrunched up his face as those words passed through his head.Why was everywher
