A man stumbled down an alley, breathing heavily as blood ran down the side of his mouth. He choked on it and coughed violently, spurting blood onto the sidewalk.His eyes were blown in panic and there was only one thing on his mind, he tapped his receiver and asked weakly, “Is the boss okay? ….. Tell me the boss is okay.”He stumbled and fell onto the floor, his injuries alleviating with every single step he took. He had to make sure his boss was safe.His boss who had taken him from the streets and put him in an esteemed position.His boss whose goodwill fed hundreds upon hundreds of homeless and poverty stricken people each month. His boss was a good man.A good man like that didn’t deserve to get killed, no matter how elite the assassin team sent was.The injured man shivered lightly as a response finally came from the other, “T… The boss is safe, Tommen. W… we did it.”Tommen felt his heart break because he could hear the amount of injuries his partner bore. He could almost see

Dorian drove the car to a secluded spot close to a lagoon and gave one order, “Get out.”His passenger obeyed immediately, not looking very enthusiastic about doing it but not protesting either, like living was not assured and he expected he would die anyway. The system appeared in its physical form and Dorian jumped slightly again when the oddly colored cat began to talk, “So what are you going to do?”Dorian clasped his hand over his heart for a while before replying, “I’ll make us jump into the lagoon.” The fat cat scoffed, “You’re going to make the man who just told you a whole lot about an assassination attempt on his life jump into a lagoon? Are you listening to yourself, Dorian?”Dorian felt worry flicker through his heart but he nodded, sure of his decision. “Yeah, I'm sure of my decision. I have a plan.”The system nodded sarcastically and the cat cocked its head to the side, “Try not to die okay. I’d hate to have to look for another host from the bottom of the sea.”The cat

The system hadn’t been bluffing when it said the car was safe and unharmed.Dorian activated the god’s eye again and he carefully scoured through the surrounding areas. There weren't any signs of the assassins.In fact, a couple was making out in the alleyway just a few blocks down. The system seized its opportunity immediately, “Are you gonna use the surveillance system to watch people having sex now?”Dorian blinked that image away and sneered lightly at the judgy system. Who said he was going to watch them?Dorian fished Connor’s car keys from the plastic bag he had tied all their things in and opened the door. He threw the back in the bag and sighed to himself, activating the god’s eye yet again and keeping a keen eye out for everything that was going on. The system gave a pissed scoff at Dorian’s caution but he ignored it and drove off, carefully and steadily.After going a few miles Dorian frowned and asked the system a question, “Why aren’t the assassins coming after me? They m

Dave bid them goodbye with a slightly wizened smile on his face and Connor booed him out of the bar and into a cab because it was obvious Dave couldn’t keep his drinks in.As Dorian chuckled, Connor grinned and wore a slight smile on his face, “Dave’s never been much of a drinker, but I guess that’s good. He needs his concentration for school and it’s better he knows resorting to alcohol will give him a killer headache.”Dorian chuckled bitterly as he commented, “Been there.”He and Connor began walking down a path and they spoke casually. Connor asked if he had made up with his girlfriend yet but Dorian scoffed and gritted his teeth in anger, “I’d rather kiss my father’s shoes than get back with her. She called the freaking cops on my Maybach, still don’t know how I'll get that car back.”Connor laughed lightly and swaggered forward with a slight bounce in his step, “Don’t worry, Conny’s got ya covered. You’ll get the car back.”Dorian nodded because for some reason he believed that.

~This is bad. You know that right?~Dorian scoffed and backed his car into the parking lot, “You didn’t complain when I used it to make money before.”~Because you were in danger of death. It was fine then because you didn’t want to die, now it’s not because you’re just gonna make sure there are more drunk dolts like you roaming the city~Dorian kept his eyes on his approaching patron and judged the man’s outfit and his general demeanor. He didn’t look drunk, but drunk people barely ever looked drunk when they were suffering from a hangover and this guy looked like he was suffering from one of those.He opened the car door, plopped into the backseat, and gave only one command, “Drive.”Dorian nodded and obeyed because as the saying goes in the business world, “The customer is always right.”The system sneered and shook its head while glaring at Dorian in its mental space, ~Have you imagined what the world would say if they found out you’re doing this Dorian?~ Dorian chuckled and scoff
