Claudina was stunned into silence after Arthur's sudden request for her to train in martial arts and firearms. She stared at him with wide, unblinking eyes."Arthur," she murmured softly, "why are you suddenly suggesting this? What is the reason behind it?"Arthur exhaled audibly. His gaze was sincere as he looked directly into Claudina's eyes and spoke earnestly."Because now that you have this hypnotic ability, Claudina, I don't want anything bad to happen to you in case something happens in the future where you will need to participate in the battle against The Hunters. So before that time comes, I would like for you to have the ability to defend yourself and be able to use a firearm skillfully. That way, I can rest assured that nothing bad will happen to you."Claudina paused before speaking, her head bowed as if in contemplation. When she finally opened her mouth to respond, her voice trembled and uncertain. "Arthur, of course, I'm very interested in trying it," she said hesitan

Today was the day that all of Southlake City had been eagerly anticipating - their city would host one of the nation's most triumphed soccer clubs! But none were more excited than Sylvia, who was rushing about the Golden Chamber Hotel like a whirlwind. She was completing her preparations for the big game with fevered zeal, packing away snacks and gathering an assortment of other knick-knacks. "I never thought you'd fly through your tasks so quickly," Arthur commented from his perch on the sofa, "You've gone from being completely disinterested in taking a break to embracing soccer like it's your life!" His remark caused Sylvia to blush slightly; she hadn't revealed her passion for the game to him before. "Yes, Boss," she began, twirling a strand of hair around her finger nervously. "I really idolize them because my father always took me to watch football together since I was little," she continued earnestly. "So I don't want to miss it when they compete." A look of understanding cros

Mr. Zoo, the mysterious figure shrouded in a midnight black cloak, stood still in the center of the field like a sentinel. His mere presence invoked an atmosphere of unease. All eyes were fixated upon him as the question burned within everyone: Who was this man?Suddenly, a helicopter appeared from the sky above and hovered over the stadium. The pilot yelled out to all those present, “Good afternoon, viewers! Can you see what's happening down there? Everyone is running around in disarray, trying to escape this mystery man and his cohorts, but all exits are tightly barricaded.” It was obvious that this pilot wasn't merely anyone; he was a reporter from one of the television stations broadcasting the event live.The reporter continued his report with an air of heightened excitement, “As you can see here, there are dozens of men clad in all-black outfits and sinister masks scattered all across the field. Just thinking about what might happen next gives me goosebumps! I sincerely hope th

The despair on everyone's face was palpable, as if the prospect of hope had escaped them and all that was left of it lingered in a distant place. As the time set by Mr. Zoo was about to come to an end, they started to fear the worst."Boss, I'm sure you'll come in time," Sylvia muttered with apprehension, her voice quivering as she spoke.A low rumble of a helicopter was heard from somewhere up above, lurking against the backdrop of the overcast sky. The people exchanged looks, none fully believing what they were hearing until the unmistakable sound of a chopper grew louder."What's that? Did they come with more members?" one person speculated, their voice tinged with unease."Is that still not enough? We can't even do anything else." another person chimed in hollowly.All eyes fell on the helicopter hovering above them ominously, wondering what fate awaited them next.Masked man Zoo was filled with glee, and the corners of his lips curled up into a sneer. It seemed that all of his ha

In the center of the field, Mr. Glitzy could be seen locked in a close confrontation with their main enemy, Mr. Zoo.As Alicia, Carolina and Eliza fought off wave after wave of attackers, they made sure that every single hostage was safely released. Meanwhile, Mr. Glitzy seemed to be gaining ground against his foe, as he used both his wit and brawn to gain an advantage over him. Eventually, it appeared that he had gained enough leverage to turn the tide of the fight, as cheers erupted from the remaining audience who had stayed behind to witness the end of this epic showdown!“I will give you one chance to surrender. You can admit your defeat and come with me unharmed. Or would you prefer your death to come soon? Ha ha," Mr. Zoo said with his arrogance, a sinister smirk sp
