"What are you going to do to me?""I'm going to take away your power. Better yet...wipe you and other awakeners off the surface of the earth." He quoted and typed on his keyboard.A curtain opened and Chen looked around the tube disoriented. He noticed other awakeners too were in here. Tortured and captured by hellhounds. Maks clutched at his chest asphyxiated and Donnie smiled.He sing-songed going through his computer."You're messing with the wrong guy. I'm_I'm a top tier awakener. Trust me, this is just the beginning." He said.... Hailey was afraid that if she stayed longer. She would look back, she hurried to a limo that the men arranged for her. She looked at the building."Off to summer school." One said."Finally." She muttered to herself grinning evilly.***Maks gazed at the huntsmen standing at their posts by big metal doors. "So,bwhat? You're jacked with that many resources? And hellhounds? Who did you sign a contract with?_" He gasped."Quiet."PYUM...He win

The Chinese company was allegedly indebted to Ponzi schemes, ghost worker payroll, illegal transactions and blood money circulation. The owner was revealed to be Mister Donnie Yun, a business mogul. The building was also destroyed. Maks frowned at a censored image of Donnie slumped against the wall of the building. He noticed that the demon dogs were just as invisible as Elvis on a regular basis. So it looked like the awakeners were agitated for one reason or another......The house was quiet***Maks was in his room sound asleep, and Elvis was strolling around the house in the night scouting for any more anomalies. It had been days or months since he brawled devil dogs. His eyes flashed into the night and he growled.**** At the onset of dawn, Maks woke up with muscle aches, and headaches, he practised his forms and did all sorts of stretching to take away the tension. His blood pressure kept rising and falling. He suffered unrest for more days than he could count. He wore a black

"They become more_ow!" Victor touched his ear when Master Wu pulled it.****[ You have a quest: Kill the Yao Guai ] Maks heaved a sigh hurrying to his house, he took off his hat. "It's a little too late don't you think?"Elvis was relaxing on the porch. Maks's jaw dropped at the print of blood on his paws. He swallowed. "Guess I'm not alone." Elvis sat up from the porch and stretched his paws releasing a yawn that could have given anyone within earshot a heart attack.His intelligent golden brown eyes regarded him.[ Host is failing to verify. ] He waved it aside and Elvis stopped him from going inside. He blocked him with his large body and pawed him backwards."What is this? I don't have any treats. Move out of the way." Elvis's eyes dilated tilting his head."What?" Maks said then heaved a sigh and rolled his eyes then searched his pockets. "Here." He passed him a juicy brisket bone. Elvis seized it in between his teeth but refused to move aside. "Let me through, d

He checked the autopsy reports. There were none about purplish capillaries all over their bodies. Or their sudden deathly white skin. None about what could have caused it. He shuddered at that. The Yao could be anywhere. Anywhere with unrest... Anywhere that humans moved nonstop.He got a text message from Emily.....Xiu Yan, a classy lady with flowing brown hair, and green eyes. A smile that likened her to a petrified mannequin but she was alluring to the men regardless. No one would tell if she was a nui gui ( a succubus) or a Yao Guai in disguise. She was getting frustrated."When do I relinquish this filthy form? I am starving and exhausted." She purred helplessly as the humans passed mindlessly on the road. Busy their phones. They sat at a restaurant with a huge glass window. She could not remember the name. The crisp but clean air was revolting and her skin was starting to irritate her. The order of steak was stale to her distaste. She was like a mother hyena, forced to hid

He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Did you kill anyone?" He asked directly. "What did you do?""I did hurt a lot of people that's for sure." She brushed her blonde hair back. She was starting to get passionate again after recalling how she suffered through the events. "These are...pirates and black marketers whom I thought gave me the insurance that I would not suffer legal action, whatsoever, once I got the job done. One last go, they said just to get me out of The Rat Race and I was...I was hooked." Her eyes turned glassy. She turned around. "I stole merch, I stole game, and pricey artefacts, just to sell them off."He tried to remain in the observer's point of view. Even if he was deeply hurt. "So...""The law caught up to me, business shut down and I...screwed up." She raked her hair. "I passed through 15 years in jail for Grand Larceny." Emily wiped her eyeliner. "Without parole. I served 1 year in Baltimore before I got my proper release." She sniffed. "Now I'm here."Maks frow
