"Gushton, help me send those corps back to where they came from."[Send me their current coordinates.]I ended the call and sent the location details of the recent battlefield. Then, I called him again.[Hey, what's up?]"You handle them for me; add some ‘Extra’ decorations for Bash. I trust your creativity in making your work dramatic."[Oh, buddy, leave it to me. I'll make sure to add some ribbons, too.]"Nice."With a smile on my lips, I ended the call. I glanced at Kara, who was attended to by doctors and nurses. They said her wounds weren't deep, and her life wasn't in danger. Her shoulder had dislocated due to the pressure of the log wood.‘I need to get rid of this adrenaline rush from my system. I'm afraid I might unintentionally hurt someone,’ I commanded the system.[Uninstall black belt martial arts skills from the host's body.]I felt the overwhelming energy gradually fading away, along with my urge to punch anything in front of me.[Uninstall successful.]I examined the d

“Hmph!” they protested as federal agents apprehended them.The shouts from the crowd outside grew louder, and they were brought by running to the building's lobby through the elevator. But before that, their mouths were forcibly uncovered in the elevator."Elliot! You can't do this to me!" Margareth protested when her mouth was uncovered, shaking her head in disbelief. She didn't want to be spotlighted by hundreds of cameras in such an embarrassing situation. She really didn't want to!"Would you prefer to join Tom instead?" Elliot challenged, knowing full well that this old woman was deathly afraid of dying, very scared to leave her world of comfort.Indeed, Margareth shrank back, unable to deny it any longer. Elliot looked at them one by one, sharp in his gaze."Be patient. If you don't protest too much, I'll help you quietly. It may never be the same as before, but it's better than dying. Because if not, nothing can be saved from Dustown, and all your business lines will be in chao

When I found out that Eric had political interests in me, I knew that this interrogation was just a cover to try and get back at me. He would go to any lengths to make amends with me for having eliminated Zhar, his adoptive brother, even if I had acted in self-defence."I can see your pupils dilating; you realise now that I won't let you off easily, right? Forget about your dinner promise; I'll keep your lovely lady waiting. Maybe until she gets bored and considers me as your replacement?" he joked, which wasn't funny at all."Hey, don't use Anne as a subject of your jokes," Bash rebuked.'Hm, I never thought there would come a day when we'd share the same principles.'"Alright, boss," Eric raised his hands as if surrendering. "Let's not bother with the interrogation. Just throw this guy into the most isolated prison here; don't let him see the sun until he breaks and surrenders.""Hey, you can't do this to me! Anne will expose your behaviour if I don't return as promised tonight!" I

"Rupert Anderson? A rising young entrepreneur? Yet I've never heard his name even once," Meha thought while reading the file sent by Danzel.Then she remembered that she shouldn't question the existence of Rupert because she was the turtle in her shell. Perhaps even during an apocalypse, she wouldn't notice, as she was comfortable hiding in her stuffy office. She was the one who had no idea about the political world and power struggles. She only focused on helping the ordinary people who needed her support to hold those in power accountable. Now, she had to stand on the opposite side of the bridge and defend the very people who had been her rivals all this time."Hmm... Danzel knows I won't take the dishonest side, no matter our previous relationship or how much I owe him. I won't compromise my principles. So... does this Rupert guy really have a clean business? Hm, interesting...""Oh, and it gets even more interesting... He's challenging to bring Merrick Corp down? Tsk tsk tsk... a

"Is there any pizza left for me?" I popped my head into the kitchen, surprising Anne and Mr. Rocky."Danzel! You're out! Thank God!" Mr. Rocky exclaimed."But... you said you wouldn't be home anytime soon," Anne replied, still in disbelief. I noticed the pizza in front of them remained untouched as if they had lost their appetite. I grabbed a slice and devoured it in a single bite, genuinely hungry from missing lunch. With my mouth full, I answered Anne."I got some help at the prosecutor's office. An old acquaintance.""Well, you're really lucky. You never cease to amaze me.""Sorry for making you worry, but I'm here now. If you guys don't eat your share, I'll devour it all," I joked, which made Mr. Rocky take a big bite of his pizza, and Anne followed suit. The mood in the room lightened a bit with my presence."So, what happened earlier? What were they accusing you of?""Zhar, they found my fingerprints on his body, but it's okay. I have evidence for my defence, so I got released."
